Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Because Shen Liuyu had already obtained her first soul ring, her soul power had directly reached level thirteen as a result.
After a friendly discussion between Shen Hanyu and their parents, it was decided to take advantage of the early timing and directly send Shen Liuyu to Skywater Academy to study.
It just so happened that Shen Hanyu also had to go out for a period of time, and Shen Junhe and Qin Yi were grinning from ear to ear about this, almost slaughtering a pig on the spot to celebrate.
Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu understood but did not respect this.
You say other parents can't wait for their children not to run far away, but their own parents are unhappy if they don't run far enough?
A bit peculiar, to say the least.
......
Siji City, as one of the small cities near Element City, was not far from Element City, at most a hundred li away, with wide and extremely safe roads.
Shen Junhe had to stay home, and as a homebody, he had always disliked going out, so naturally, it could only be Qin Yi who took Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu by carriage to Element City.
Element City was established thousands of years ago. From its inception, the four academies of Wind, Fire, Water, and Thunder stood tall. After a period of development, Element City was completely controlled by these four academies, even exempt from paying taxes to the empire, becoming another major city on the continent not under imperial control.
Among them, the Wind, Fire, and Water families existed independently, while Thunder Academy had the shadow of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan behind it, and even its academy dean had deep ties to the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan.
By the current era, Element City had added the Elephant Armored Sect.
The strength of the Elephant Armored Sect was not inferior to the four-element academies. It occupied a place in Element City and established the Elephant Armored Academy, claiming to be the fifth element academy.
However, the higher-ups of the Elephant Armored Sect had always leaned toward the Spirit Hall camp, which made them seem out of place in Element City, quite superfluous.
The carriage slowly entered the gates of Element City. Shen Liuyu, listening to the lively sounds outside, couldn't help but lift the curtain and curiously look at the scenery outside.
"Mom, is this the city where I'll study and live in the future?"
Shen Liuyu's eyes sparkled like little stars, shining brightly.
Qin Yi smiled and nodded, rubbing the little girl's hair, and said:
"Ah Yu, after enrolling, you have to be obedient. You can only go out to play with friends after making new ones, okay?"
Shen Liuyu nodded obediently.
Shen Hanyu, sitting on the other side, was also a bit excited. He kind of wanted to see what the little phoenix of Skywater Academy looked like now...
Whether she was still a cute little loli like Shen Liuyu...
Ahem... getting off track.
Of course, the heart that appreciates beauty is common to all. For Shui Bing'er, this true genius from the original story, not only mature and steady in personality but also beautiful, which is a perfect poke at Shen Hanyu's xp.
(The appearance of Skywater Academy team members should not reference the anime; the anime is a pile of shit, with looks severely nerfed. Refer to the original novel descriptions or other images.)
Moreover, if he married her, he might even get a bonus color-obsessed little sister-in-law...
Shen Hanyu was quite confident in his dashing and handsome face.
It could truly be said to be handsome enough to anger gods and men alike, just a tiny bit handsomer than the audience friends in front of the screen...
......
Due to missing the enrollment time, Qin Yi had no choice but to request a meeting with the dean of Skywater Academy in the name of a nearby family to discuss Shen Liuyu's enrollment.
Meanwhile, Shen Hanyu began wandering around the city, incidentally admiring the long legs of the junior sisters in Skywater Academy's short skirt uniforms...
The kind that gleamed white under the sunlight, and every one a great beauty. It was simply Tang Sanzang's paradise.
What little girls, young girls, short skirt JKs, mature sisters, lolis, mature women...
Goodness, something outrageous seems to have been mixed in. No, look again...
Shen Hanyu was dazzled, occasionally letting out sighs of admiration, causing many budding young girls nearby to blush.
This young man was not only handsome but also... also... so direct (flirty). He was simply top-tier...
Naturally, Shen Hanyu was unaware of these pretty sisters' fantasies. As he wandered, he somehow entered an area lined with shops.
The surroundings were bustling with voices, somewhat crowded.
Shen Hanyu weaved through various small stalls, constantly picking up bargains. The Shen family's business could be said to rake in gold soul coins daily, so they weren't short on money. This time, Shen Hanyu had brought over a hundred thousand gold soul coins.
Just as Shen Hanyu observed for a long time and prepared to buy a comb made from the horn of the soul beast, Blue Horn Ox, another fair hand simultaneously grasped the other end of the comb.
Shen Hanyu and the little girl opposite both froze, then simultaneously let go, and with great tacit understanding said:
"You first / You first."
Then both fell into silence.
After a while, Shen Hanyu finally squeezed out a sentence:
"Um... little girl, how about we split it, one half each?"
The little girl opposite was stunned, then waved her hands repeatedly and said:
"You buy it. I don't need it. I just wanted to look."
"Rea...lly not yielding it to you?"
"Really!"
"Really?"
"Really..."
"Are you sure?"
"I should be... sure."
"Then I'll buy it?"
"Um... how about... um... just... give it to me."
"Ah ha?"
Shen Hanyu was completely dumbfounded. For a moment, he didn't know whether to hold the comb or let go.
The Shui Bing'er opposite also had a slightly red face due to embarrassment, not knowing what to say. She stammered for a long time without uttering anything coherent.
Shen Hanyu supported his forehead, helplessly saying:
"Which family's kid are you? How are you so dumb... no, so cu...te?"
Shui Bing'er's cute little face wrinkled, then she said righteously:
"I'm a student of Skywater Academy. My name is Shui Bing'er!"
Shen Hanyu choked, then said incredulously:
"You say your name is Shui Bing'er!? Is your aunt the dean of Skywater Academy?"
Shui Bing'er nodded and said:
"Do you know my aunt, rude big brother?"
Shen Hanyu looked at the little bean sprout in front of him, less than 1.3 meters tall, silently suppressing his impulse to raise a child bride.
At the same time, he muttered under his breath: three years to start, maximum death penalty...
"Don't know her. Um, Bing'er, how old are you this year?"
Shen Hanyu rubbed his brow. Family, what to do? The future wife is still a little loli, and he has to raise her for so many years...
"Five years old!"
Shui Bing'er said without fear, in one breath.
Shen Hanyu sucked in a cold breath, then quickly pulled out several dozen gold soul coins to buy the comb, then scooped up Shui Bing'er in one arm, turned and ran, even using soul power. His speed was so fast it left afterimages...
Shui Bing'er didn't even have time to react before she was carried by Shen Hanyu into a nearby alley, without even time to cry out...
