"Brother Tian, why are you with Zhang Xinlan? It took us forever to find you! If it wasn't for Ye Lin, we might never have found you at all, and it would have been impossible for you to find us, either," Ye Feifei said.
Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan were both slightly stunned. "Feifei, are you saying Ye Lin brought you to ? And she saved you? Was the Demon Beast you encountered that powerful?"
"You're half right. But we didn't run into a Demon Beast; we ran into despicable, shaless people. Students from the Advanced Class tried to do sothing beastly to Xiaowan and . Our only thought was that we couldn't let them succeed, even if it ant dying.
Just when things were most critical, Ye Lin appeared. She killed those students with ease, so the two of us didn't have to go through with killing ourselves. An event like this is a terrifying threat to all the female students," Ye Feifei said.
After hearing Ye Feifei's words, a wave of fear washed over Ye Tian. 'I can't believe she and Qin Xiaowan almost died. They must have felt so helpless, wishing I could have been there for them. That kind of despair and indignation must have been unbearable.
And to be willing to kill themselves to protect their innocence… How much courage must that have taken? It was truly too much to ask of them.'
"Ye Tian, don't let Feifei mislead you," Qin Xiaowan said. "We were indeed preparing to kill ourselves, but then sothing completely unexpected happened. It was as if our bloodlines changed, and we miraculously managed to kill those students ourselves.
Ye Lin probably sensed the powerful aura we were emitting and rushed over because of it. Maybe Feifei doesn't rember all the details, which is why she told it that way, but I rember it very clearly. It was truly terrifying and dangerous," Qin Xiaowan said.
Ye Feifei's face turned red, and she looked at Ye Tian with a puzzled expression. "Brother Tian, I wasn't lying. Maybe it's like Xiaowan said… I really wasn't clear on what happened then. But hearing her talk about it now, I'm starting to rember more. I might have misspoken earlier."
"It's alright, Feifei. But what exactly happened to you two? To suddenly be able to kill students stronger than you... I'm very curious about that!" Ye Tian imdiately asked.
Just as Ye Feifei was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zhang Xinlan. "The Snake King is here. Ye Tian, let's go see what's going on!"
"Alright!" Ye Tian said at once, as he could already see the Snake King's figure.
Then, with a flash, he appeared before the Snake King. The Snake King glanced at everyone and was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Ye Feifei to be there. Qin Xiaowan was a stranger to him, but he could faintly sense a terrifying aura coming from her.
His intuition told him this woman was no simple character, and his admiration for Ye Tian grew. 'Everyone around him seems extraordinary, and all the won are stunningly beautiful. Then again, considering Ye Tian's identity, I guess it's not so surprising.'
"Snake King, what's the situation? Did you find the Earth-Split Demon Turtle's Earth Attribute Magic Crystal?" Ye Tian asked hurriedly.
The Snake King shifted into his human form. "Young Master, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you this ti. I searched inside the Earth-Split Demon Turtle for a long ti but couldn't find a Magic Crystal. That thing was probably born without one!"
"So that's how it is. It's not your fault. If it can gestate an Acquired Spirit Pearl, it naturally wouldn't need a Magic Crystal. Getting the Spirit Pearl is already a great boon. Actually, I'm now hoping we run into another Earth-Split Demon Turtle.
With you and Ye Lin here, killing one would be incredibly easy. Maybe we could get another Earth Attribute Spirit Pearl!" Ye Tian said with a laugh.
"Heh, Ye Tian, you're being too naive," Zhang Xinlan said with a smile. "If every Earth-Split Demon Turtle had an Acquired Spirit Pearl of the Earth Attribute, then Earth Elental Spirit Pearls wouldn't be valuable at all. The fact that you got one was a true stroke of luck. It's the kind of thing you find by chance, not by searching. Don't be delusional."
"Xinlan is right. It really was a rare find. You said that Earth-Split Demon Turtles are usually Tier Four Demon Beasts, but this one was a Tier Five. That might be why it was possible for it to have a Spirit Pearl," Ye Tian said.
There was nothing inherently wrong with his words, but they sounded sour in the ears of Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan. A pang of jealousy struck both of them, and Ye Feifei's expression changed ever so slightly.
Although Qin Xiaowan had indescribable feelings for Ye Tian, they weren't truly together, so she could only feel resentful in her heart. But Ye Feifei was different. She was one of Ye Tian's true won, and she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Brother Tian, what did you just call her? Xinlan? How can you just casually use such an intimate form of address? Since you two have been together, has sothing already happened between you?" Ye Feifei asked.
"Feifei, don't overthink it. There's nothing going on between Xinlan and . She's just a friend—a friend I've been through life and death with, you could say. Things aren't as bad as you're imagining. So things can't be forced; you just have to let fate run its course!" Ye Tian said with so exasperation, truly not knowing how to explain it to her.
Zhang Xinlan was not disappointed by Ye Tian's words. 'Even if he completely rejects now, once we get to the Holy Land, to Shen Li Palace, he will still choose . I am the Saintess, born for him. As the heir to Shen Li Palace, Ye Tian has no other choice.'
"That's right. We don't have the kind of relationship you're imagining," Zhang Xinlan said. "Ye Tian is the academy's genius; it's perfectly normal for him to have another female confidante. I think you should be a little more magnanimous. Besides, if I really wanted sothing to happen with Ye Tian, I'm confident that you wouldn't be able to stop ."
For a mont, Ye Feifei was at a loss for words. 'If only Xiao Yaoyao and Lin Ling were here,' she thought, 'things might be a little better. On my own, I really can't handle this woman who's even more beautiful than I am.'
Perhaps because Ye Feifei had just been thinking of Xiao Yaoyao and Lin Ling, the two of them suddenly and unexpectedly appeared before everyone.
"Ye Tian!" "Ye Tian!" Xiao Yaoyao and Lin Ling called out to him, almost in unison. Perhaps after being apart for so ti, both were too excited to hold back.
"Yaoyao, Lin Ling, what are you two doing here? Did sothing happen?" Ye Tian was also very surprised to see them. Tutors weren't allowed to enter the Demon Beast Region during the academy's field exercise, so he found their sudden appearance very strange.
"Nothing's wrong. This field exercise is different from previous ones. The dean was worried that so male students with ill intentions might do terrible things to the female students, so he sent us to check on things. We never expected to run into you all here!" Xiao Yaoyao explained.
