Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Liu Erlong Is About to Submit to Tang Yin’s Charm...
Soon after, Yu Xiaogang recovered under the care of a healing soul master.
When he saw Liu Erlong, the humiliation of being knocked down by the security guards at the academy gate resurfaced in his mind. He intended to ask Liu Erlong to dismiss the two security guards.
However, before he could speak, Liu Erlong said, "Xiao Gang, you came here for something important, didn't you?"
Recalling what Flender had said before he came, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "Erlong, I want you to accompany us to the Sunset Forest."
"Sunset Forest?" Liu Erlong asked with a hint of doubt.
"Zhu Zhuqing from our team has reached level 30 and needs to hunt for her third soul ring. Additionally, we've organized an experience session to let the two teams practice in the Sunset Forest. However, for safety reasons, we hope you can join us."
When Liu Erlong heard this, she immediately understood.
"Will Tang Yin be coming along as well?" she asked suddenly, though she wasn't sure why.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong with a puzzled expression, not fully grasping her intent. Nevertheless, he replied, "Tang Yin is a student on the team, so naturally, he'll be there."
"Is that so..." Liu Erlong murmured, considering the prospect of going to the Sunset Forest with Tang Yin. For reasons she couldn't quite explain, she felt an uneasy premonition.
Still, she couldn't refuse Yu Xiaogang's request.
After all, they were once part of the Golden Iron Triangle, a trio that could unleash unparalleled power when united.
After some deliberation, Liu Erlong finally agreed to accompany Yu Xiaogang and Flender to the Sunset Forest. She would help Zhu Zhuqing acquire her third soul ring and oversee the students' training.
What she didn't know was that this decision would lead her down a path of no return.
At the Tiandou Royal Academy.
Tang Yin and Dugu Yan returned to the academy together.
After passing through the gates, Tang Yin parted ways with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan, noticing Tang Yin's continued indifference as if her presence didn't matter, grew secretly angry.
With a huff, she stomped off toward her dormitory.
Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes watched her from a distance.
It was Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng had initially intended to approach Dugu Yan and have a good conversation with her, but seeing her with Tang Yin made him pause. Although he didn't want to jump to conclusions, Dugu Yan's strange and angry demeanor left him frowning.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Tang Yin has a good relationship with Yan Yan's grandfather. They must have just visited and returned," Yu Tianheng reassured himself. He chose not to pursue Dugu Yan further and instead headed to the mimicry training grounds.
As the captain of the Royal Dou Team, he felt deeply frustrated by his inability to match Tang Yin's strength. This defeat fueled his determination to grow stronger.
After all, there would undoubtedly be many battles during their time in the Sunset Forest, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment.
While Yu Tianheng practiced diligently, the other members of the Imperial Fighting Team also immersed themselves in training. Even Tang San and the Shrek Team were busy preparing for the upcoming journey.
At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing, who had recently broken through to level 30, slowly emerged from her cultivation state.
She recalled Tang Yin's advice to continuously refine her body and accumulate soul power to strengthen herself. Though she couldn't immediately break through, she could still follow his guidance.
Since her relationship with Tang Yin had deepened, Zhu Zhuqing found herself becoming more compliant with his words—or perhaps, submissive in a way she hadn't been before.
She felt that what Tang Yin said was fundamentally correct.
She couldn't explain why she thought this way, but she trusted his words.
Without dwelling on it further, she resumed her meditation, cultivating her soul power. She carefully spread the refined energy to every part of her body, diligently nourishing it.
After returning to his residence, Tang Yin took Ah Yin into the room for some bonding time, letting his adoptive mother bask in his presence and feel his growing strength.
As they finished their interaction, the time to set off for the Sunset Forest had arrived.
At the entrance of Tiandou Royal Academy:
Flender, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and Qin Ming had arrived early to prepare for the departure.
Soon, members of the Royal Dou Team—Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and others—came forward. Following them, the Shrek Team members—Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun—also arrived, though Zhu Zhuqing was still absent.
Just as the crowd gathered near Flender and Yu Xiaogang, Tang Yin, Ah Yin, and Zhu Zhuqing appeared, walking together.
Ah Yin was smiling warmly, chatting with Zhu Zhuqing. She had grown increasingly fond of the strong-willed young woman—no, not just a young woman, but her son Tang Yin's partner, now practically her daughter-in-law.
This development surprised Ah Yin. She had expected Tang Yin to take much longer to win Zhu Zhuqing over, yet he had managed to do so only a few days prior.
As the trio approached, Dai Mubai's gaze immediately shifted to them.
Seeing the clear closeness between Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Yin, Dai Mubai's expression darkened. However, he could do little but endure the frustration; his strength was simply no match for Tang Yin's.
When Tang Yin noticed someone missing, he turned to Flender and asked, "Teacher Flender, aren't we waiting for one more person?"
"Yes," Flender replied. "Aside from us, the dean of Lanba Academy, Liu Erlong, will also be joining us this time."
Just as he finished speaking, a figure approached.
She was wearing a crimson, tight-fitting dress embroidered with delicate orchids. The silk fabric clung to her graceful figure, accentuating her curves. Her high chest, slender waist, and full, rounded hips formed a silhouette of elegance and allure.
Her radiant face glowed with natural beauty, unadorned by makeup yet surpassing anything artificial. Her skin was flawless, her eyebrows arched like distant mountains, and her phoenix-like eyes sparkled with intelligence and charm. Her rosy lips were as inviting as cherries, and her swan-like neck exuded elegance.
The dress hugged her body perfectly, emphasizing her full bosom and rounded hips. Her slender, jade-like legs peeked through, exuding both grace and strength. Her overall appearance was breathtaking—commanding attention and admiration.
This woman was Liu Erlong.
Tang Yin's eyes lit up as he admired Liu Erlong's mature and captivating presence. Her elegance had grown over time, and her appearance exuded an irresistible charm.
As Tang Yin's gaze lingered, Liu Erlong's eyes met his.
At that moment, memories of their previous encounters flooded Liu Erlong's mind. Her heartbeat quickened, and her breathing grew faster.
