The next morning, golden sunlight streamed onto the Tian Dou Royal Academy square, making the ground sparkle.
When Xiao Ze arrived at the meeting point with a group of young women, the entire square fell into an eerie silence.
Clatter—
Something dropped from a student's hand, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
"Am I still dreaming?" Another student rubbed his eyes vigorously. "Why do I seem to see Huo Wu from Blazing Academy, and the sisters from Tianshui Academy?"
"Don't just say you, I saw them too."
"Holy crap!!!"
"Xiao Ze!! You have no heart!!"
The entire square seemed to have been paused, all the students frozen in place.
Even some teachers were stunned.
They never expected that their Tian Dou Royal Academy would have such an amazing person, bringing back the campus belles of two major Elemental Academies.
"My heart aches!!"
"Damn you, Xiao Ze!"
"They're like obedient children behind Xiao Ze, why is this happening?!"
"My goddess is gone."
Shui Yueer affectionately linked her arm through Xiao Ze's left arm and whispered into his ear, "Brother Xiao Ze~ It looks like you've become the public enemy of the entire school now."
Xiao Ze shook his head helplessly, "I already was, but it wasn't as big a commotion before. Maybe too many people like you."
"Hehe... but I don't like them. I like Brother Xiao Ze~~ Brother Xiao Ze and I fell in love at first sight."
"It was clearly you who was smitten by my looks."
"Being smitten by looks is also good."
Huo Wu looked around, flicked her red hair, and glared back fiercely, "What are you looking at!"
This scared several peeking students into immediately lowering their heads.
Shui Yueer, on the other hand, generously waved to everyone, and deliberately leaned closer to Xiao Ze, drawing a chorus of heartbroken sighs.
"Captain, are you... bringing all the beauties from the Elemental Academies back with you?" Shi Mo said, his fingers trembling.
Among the Five Elemental Academies.
The academy with the most beauties was naturally Tianshui Academy, but the most beautiful ones there were Water Binger and Shui Yueer, at most adding the Instructors Committee, but the Instructors Committee was quite fierce, and others liked the sisters the most.
These were the sisters, after all.
As for other academies, there were relatively fewer girls, and besides Huo Wu, there were no other outstanding girls.
Of course, there were certainly good-looking ones.
However, this was the World of Spirit Masters; people didn't just look at faces, but also talent. If one's talent and strength weren't enough, no one would even glance at them.
Those were just pretty faces.
There were many people in the World; if you wanted to find pretty faces, there were too many.
It had no meaning.
"This... it's a long story."
Just then, Dream Machine and the other two also slowly walked over.
"Xiao Ze, you are impressive, your charm is astonishing, you've captured three little girls in just one day," Dream Machine said with a smile, his admiration growing.
If he had such charm back then, he wouldn't be controlled by the tigress in his own home now.
"The Instructors Committee is joking."
Xiao Ze conversed with the three Instructors Committees under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.
The young women behind him each had their own thoughts.
After all, Xiao Ze now had three more beauties by his side, and the competition at home would become more intense in the future.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go."
When Xiao Ze led the Tian Dou Royal Academy team to the Great Spirit Arena, Huo Wushuang and Water Yi Yao immediately saw the three girls accompanying Xiao Ze.
Huo Wu was animatedly saying something, Shui Yueer affectionately held Xiao Ze's arm, and even the usually aloof Water Binger occasionally showed a faint smile.
Both of them immediately flared up in anger.
"Huo Wu!"
"And you two!"
Two angry roars simultaneously rang out, startling the three girls.
Huo Zhongzheng and Water Yi Yao's faces were so grim they looked like they could drip water.
The two strode forward aggressively, and the surrounding students quickly made way.
"Dad." Huo Wu immediately deflated like a punctured ball, her red hair drooping.
The Shui sisters also instantly wilted. Shui Yueer stuck out her tongue, while Water Binger lowered her head and twiddled her fingers.
"You three, not coming home all night, and following a man you've known for one day home!! Your guts are getting bigger and bigger!!" Huo Zhongzheng directly pinched Huo Wu's ear.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Huo Wu stood on her tiptoes, begging for mercy.
Water Yi Yao stood with her hands on her hips, her phoenix eyes wide, "And you two, you left without even saying hello to me!"
Shui Yueer muttered, "We're pursuing love."
"Still talking back!" Water Yi Yao gave Shui Yueer a rap on the head.
"Going home with someone you've known for a day, what's next?"
The three girls were so scolded they couldn't lift their heads.
Xiao Ze awkwardly touched his nose and stepped forward to explain, "This is all my fault. I didn't send them back."
"Hmph!" Water Yi Yao didn't care how outstanding Xiao Ze was; regarding this matter, she still had some dissatisfaction with Xiao Ze, but she could see that Xiao Ze got along very well with the three girls.
Shui Yueer and the others were very happy, and even Bing'er smiled, which she rarely did at the academy.
As for Huo Zhongzheng, he looked at Xiao Ze as if he were a scoundrel, with a very displeased expression in his eyes.
The surrounding students watched with relish, many secretly giving Xiao Ze a thumbs-up.
As for the only one who suffered a critical blow, it was Feng Xiaotian.
When he heard that Huo Wu and Xiao Ze went home and even stayed overnight, he froze in place.
His other teammates were scared by Feng Xiaotian's state.
They quickly picked him up and carried him into the Great Spirit Arena.
"You stand aside, it's not your turn yet!"
The scolding lasted a full ten minutes before Huo Zhongzheng and Water Yi Yao finally managed to calm down.
Then Huo Zhongzheng looked at Xiao Ze, "You, Xiao Ze, are very good, but that's no reason for you to make my daughter a concubine!"
"Dad! This is my own business!" Huo Wu stood in front of Xiao Ze.
Immediately, Huo Zhongzheng's heart ached; his daughter, whom he had raised for over a decade, was now leaking wind.
"Xiao Ze! Stay away from my daughter in the future!"
"And our two girls!"
Just like that, under everyone's gaze, the three girls were led away by their respective elders like misbehaving elementary school students.
Before leaving, Huo Wu didn't forget to turn back and make a face at Xiao Ze, Shui Yueer blew a kiss, and Water Binger could only look on with teary eyes, appearing utterly pitiful.
"Tsk tsk... Xiao Ze, don't be afraid, keep up the good work. Huo Zhongzheng and Water Yi Yao are just angry, you can still continue," Bai Baoshan said, patting Xiao Ze's shoulder.
"I'm not afraid, this is my own problem, it's just that they're going to suffer."
"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't give up, back in my day I..."
"Alright, alright, no one wants to hear about your past, Fatty." Zhi Lin directly pushed Bai Baoshan away.
"Sigh!"
