Chapter 267: Xiao Yu's Insecurity, Zi Yan's Candies
Uh… Did this old man see wrong? They weren't just doing acrobatics they were kissing…
Damn it…
How long had it been since they last met? To be this bold under the watchful eyes of so many…
Fine!
Rumor had it that Queen Medusa disappeared after failing her evolution. Looks like they really hadn't seen each other in a long time!
But could they at least consider this old man's feelings?
At my age, witnessing such an intense scene how was I supposed to process this? Were they trying to kill me with their public display of affection?
Su Qian wasn't the only one feeling unwell everyone else shared his sentiment.
While Su Qian fought against Wu Tian and Medusa, the surrounding Dou Huang experts and the students below were all dumbfounded as they watched the battle.
The scene was simply indescribable.
Two Dou Zongs ganging up on an old Dou Zong was bad enough, but the worst part? They were flirting mid fight!
Even those watching from below couldn't help but envy them. To have such a divine couple what a blessing in life!
But damn it, this Guardian Lord had multiple lovers! How could any man live up to this?
Gu Xun'er, Han Yue, and Hu Jia all looked up at the two figures in the sky, smiling. They would be lying if they said they weren't envious.
They, too, longed to stand side by side with their beloved Wu Tian in battle.
Medusa looked so blissful right now. If only they were as strong as her!
Then they could always stay by Wu Tian's side, fighting alongside him. Just imagining how envious people would be…
But alas, they were too weak. Even Han Yue, the strongest among them, was only an eight star Dou Ling.
Hu Jia's strength was even slightly lower than Han Yue's. And while Xun'er's combat prowess was impressive, her actual cultivation level wasn't much different from Hu Jia's.
No one could truly gauge Xun'er's real strength except for Wu Tian, who understood her best.
That was the secret of the Gu Clan's heiress, one exclusively known to her beloved Wu Tian.
Even though Gu Xun'er could temporarily unleash the power of a Dou Huang, she was still far from being able to challenge a Dou Zong.
This realization only strengthened their determination. They had to work harder in cultivation they couldn't afford to hold Wu Tian back. They wanted to walk alongside him.
Han Yue and Hu Jia, the two "bed warmers," had all sorts of thoughts running through their heads, hehe~
But Wu Tian never expected them to be particularly strong. As long as they could keep him warm in winter and cool in summer, that was more than enough!
While the girls had their thoughts, there was one more person among them feeling envious.
She stood behind them, silent, only able to look up at that radiant young man in the sky.
It was Xiao Yu.
Ever since arriving at the Inner Academy, she had spent her days staring at his statue. And now, seeing him in person, her emotions were even more complicated.
Even those goddess like women, far superior to her, couldn't fight alongside him. How could she even hope to?
This realization filled Xiao Yu, the long legged beauty, with deep insecurity.
All her life, she had only ever brushed past Wu Tian. They had barely even interacted. And yet, despite this, she realized she had fallen for him.
She hadn't fallen for the legendary Guardian Elder, who now stood in the sky, battling the great elder of the academy.
She had fallen for the boy she once passed by in Wutan City the one who had smiled at her in the Outer Academy.
Back then, many men had confessed to her, claiming it was love at first sight. She always dismissed them without hesitation.
Xiao Yu never believed in love at first sight.
She thought those men were just using cheap tricks to flirt with her empty words.
But now… she believed it.
Because at that small Wutan City gate, she had experienced love at first sight.
Unfortunately, when she saw him again, he was no longer that boy.
He was now the revered Guardian Elder of the Snake Tribe, someone who could instantly kill a Dou Huang.
The gap between them was immeasurable.
Xiao Yu understood this well she and the boy she loved were destined to be impossible.
Her long, elegant legs trembled slightly as she struggled to accept this reality.
If only she could go back in time, she would have kissed him right there, in front of everyone in Wutan City…
Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her leg. Her face turned cold as she looked down.
Who dared to take advantage of her at a time like this?!
But when she lowered her gaze, she saw a little girl with long purple hair.
It was none other than the terrifying brute force queen Zi Yan.
Seeing Zi Yan, Xiao Yu's sharp gaze softened. Her red lips parted slightly. "Zi Yan, you…"
"Yu'er, don't overthink things!" Zi Yan blinked her big eyes adorably.
The "mature" Zi Yan instantly lifted Xiao Yu's spirits.
That's right!
Feeling a newfound clarity, Xiao Yu looked at Zi Yan with warmth in her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Zi Yan."
Zi Yan tossed a few candy beans into her mouth, munching happily as she thought to herself:
"Hehe~ Annoying guy, I just brought you another woman. You should really thank me!"
"If you're grateful, just make me more candy! Hehehe!"
"Better yet, find that… that whatever it's called something that'll make me grow up faster!"
…
Meanwhile, in the sky, the battle grew increasingly fierce.
The speed of the fight escalated to the point where even the students below could only see flashes of afterimages.
Some couldn't even catch those only the deafening sounds of explosions rang through the sky.
The relentless bombardment of explosions shook the crowd.
The power of a Dou Zong battle was truly terrifying.
If not for the Dou Huang experts shielding them, they wouldn't have dared to stay and watch.
Ordinarily, bystanders loved to watch the commotion. But now, they were too shocked to even comment.
They could only gape in awe as their great elder was mercilessly beaten…
And yet, despite knowing this, there was nothing they could do but watch.
Hu Qian and the elders of Jia Nan Academy exchanged glances with the Black Corner Region powerhouses.
Neither side showed any intent to intervene.
Because they knew the moment they acted, Jia Nan Academy would surely lose.
Jia Nan Academy already had few Dou Huang experts.
And compared to those who had survived the brutal chaos of the Black Corner Region, their combat abilities were significantly weaker.
They simply weren't on the same level.
As for why the Black Corner Region's experts didn't attack…
The main reason was that Wu Tian and Queen Medusa hadn't ordered them to.
And another reason Jia Nan Academy was an ancient institution. There was no way they didn't have some hidden trump card.
Only a fool would underestimate the academy's defensive energy barrier…
