Gu Yuena – "Su Wen, I...!"
When it was the silver-haired girl's turn, all the elders on the boat and Yan Shaozhe paid special attention—no more joking around. Even Su Wen couldn't guarantee he could control things if she went berserk; she could raze Shrek Academy.
"Go for it, Master!" Mu Qiuer whispered, pumping her fist. "Don't embarrass yourself!"
Gu Yuena snorted coldly, tossing her ponytail—her aura flaring out.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Something's under the lake!"
The lights caught a giant black shadow rapidly expanding beneath the surface, soon covering half the lake.
Next moment—
Twin dragon horns surfaced, followed by a dragon head, scales gleaming silver as the massive slit pupils opened. Even only half-emerged, the Silver Dragon King's pressure swept everything.
"SU WEN!!!"
"I..."
A stern voice thundered.
Yan Shaozhe gulped, staring at Gu Yuena, sweat pouring down.
In his mind, she might act nice, but she was a soul beast at heart—not being hostile to humans was good enough. Integration into human society was a fantasy.
Gu Yuena's sudden "berserk" confirmed that belief.
The soul beast ruler was certainly no sweetheart.
On the boat, the elders all tensed, circulating soul power to meet any coming disaster.
But Mu En just smiled, waving them down. "Relax, I've dealt with her before. This soul beast queen isn't as wild as you think—just watch..."
Sure enough, as everyone stared dumbfounded, Gu Yuena landed in front of Su Wen, hooking her arms around his neck, feet pressing down to crease her little white shoes before planting a kiss on his lips.
Everyone: ...
Especially when they saw the giant dragon shadow behind her—no one dared to make a sound.
Only after a long while did Gu Yuena let go, eyes flashing a challenge at Zhang Lexuan.
With a light humph, she stood nearby.
"I love you most."
Su Wen: …
Love's great, but did you have to make it this dramatic?
Zhang Lexuan didn't waver—there was some surprise, but this Silver Dragon King, for all her age, was like a willful little girl. In her eyes, she was indulging a child.
Soul beasts aren't judged by age; she'd slept so long, but inside, she was just a young lady…
So, the position of Main Wife was utterly secure. Among this group, no one could threaten her.
As for Su Wen forming a harem?
Let him! Who cared, as long as she liked him enough.
Besides, in soul master society, multiple wives happened—not common, but not rare.
Truly outstanding ones always attracted many admirers.
Mu Qiuer pouted, "All bark, no bite!"
"Seems the glory of soul beasts will have to be carried by me!"
"Mu Qiuer, Level 61 Battle Soul Emperor. Martial Soul: Golden Dragon King!"
The young woman raised her head with pride.
Crowd commotion—
"Is that the new twin flower who recently joined the inner court? So beautiful…"
"You think so? They're all here for Little Pavilion Lord."
"But, aren't gold and silver dragons top-line martial souls? Which clan are they from? Even the Heaven and Earth Dragon Sect didn't have bloodlines that pure…"
"Could they… actually be soul beasts?"
Someone joked. Silence fell.
"Hey, everyone, I was just joking..." the student said hurriedly.
"But it makes sense. Gu Yuena just showed pressure at a level only a dragon could have. I only felt it once, facing a dragon bone in a secret realm..."
"True Dragon?!!"
"Hard to say… But if so—both Gold and Silver Dragons after Little Pavilion Lord—we're witnessing history!"
"I like Su Wen too!"
With a leap, Mu Qiuer landed beside Su Wen, crossing her arms. The lotus was out of room...
"How many is that now?"
"Five. Five already."
"Damn! Who will Su Wen choose?"
"If he doesn't pick the Silver Dragon, he might get torn apart, right?"
"Hahaha, what a bloodbath—wish I was him..."
"Envy aside, he's in a tough position..."
…
Yan Shaozhe watched, sweat on his back, only relaxing when the Silver Dragon's shadow faded and Gu Yuena settled down—no more kissing and biting Su Wen.
He'd almost been in trouble as the host.
He hadn't known Gu Yuena's real identity until recently—after all, when Mu En requested he host, only then did he get told…
From there, he didn't dare joke any further.
…
"Han Ruoruo, senior member of the inner court. I'm even older than Wu Ming. Spent years obsessed with training—now it's a flaw. If no one chooses me, I'll step aside and leave quietly..."
Silence.
Her age was a problem—few boys close to her age, and her strength also intimidated them. For most, she was more like a mother than a big sister...
"Can I qualify?"
All eyes turned as Wang Yan leaped from the boat—six soul rings shining.
He looked softly at Han Ruoruo.
"Lovers ending together," Wu Ming joked, smiling.
Wang Yan's long series of words struck home—Han Ruoruo took his hand, leaving with him.
"Teacher Wang Yan really is excellent. Anyone who sits on that boat as a teacher is at least at Soul Douluo-level, the backbone of the academy. For Wang Yan to be a Soul Emperor among them shows his authority in martial soul knowledge."
Zhang Lexuan commented softly.
"Indeed." Su Wen nodded.
"You damn scoundrel! Even Senior Sister got hoodwinked by you!"
Wu Ming glared.
"Cough! Wu Ming, don't..." Zhang Lexuan blushed. It wasn't Su Wen's fault—he was only six, while she...
The age gap—it was really her robbing the cradle.
…
Other girls continued.
Wang Donger finally took her turn:
"I am Wang Donger. Twin martial souls: Clear Sky Hammer and Bright Goddess Butterfly. From Clear Sky Sect."
Ponytail of blue-and-pink, same colored eyes, she looked at the now-encircled Su Wen.
He sensed the coming doom too late.
"At first, I disguised myself as a boy and shared a dorm with Su Wen. Once he found out, he always snuck over at night, asking if I wanted to 'cultivate together'. Then..."
Wang Donger's cheeks colored.
Su Wen: …
Countless inner court students: …
All looked at Su Wen in shock.
I didn't. It wasn't me. Don't make stuff up!
"Then we realized our martial souls could fuse—those days were the happiest for me. Every night, the two of us secretly trained under one blanket, then acted as friends by day..."
She nibbled her lip, remembering.
"So, you two even then..." Xie Huanyue's jaw dropped, staring at Su Wen.
"No wonder your door was always locked when I knocked."
"Boss, you're amazing!" Giving a thumbs up.
Su Wen: …
He was finished!
Impossible to clear things up now.
Ning Tian was annoyed—if the academy was so lax, she could've disguised as a boy too; who couldn't pull that off?
Zhang Lexuan, meanwhile, spotted the key point:
"Martial soul fusion?!!"
Martial soul fusion meant either close siblings… or soulmates connected by heart.
If the latter, the heavens had tied them together.
So this was a demonstration—a challenge—but Wang Donger's style was soft, hiding her sharpness.
She came over, quietly standing by Su Wen, not fighting for space.
But all the boys' gazes turned sharp and jealous—Wang Donger's beauty was top class, outshining even this group of beauties in a simple white dress.
And such a gorgeous girl had been "cultivated" by Little Pavilion Lord since childhood.
Truly unforgivable!
