Luo Xiu stood by the railing of the yacht's deck, watching the distant Giant Kun gradually sink beneath the waves until it disappeared, his heart filled with reluctance.

Every time he met the person closest to him in the world, it was just a fleeting encounter. Time never seemed to be enough.

He didn't know if each meeting meant one less chance to see them again, or one more.

That's why he really hated meeting the person closest to him in the world. Because a meeting always meant a departure was inevitable.

"She will come back." Su Shenyun walked up to his side and took his hand.

Luo Xiu hummed softly in acknowledgment.

Su Shenyun asked, "What exactly is your relationship with our Principal?"

Luo Xiu replied, "We're Senior Sister and Junior Brother."

"It doesn't look like it," Su Hongli's odd laughter came from nearby.

Luo Xiu frowned. "How so?"

Su Shenyun gave him a mysterious look. "Previously, Hongli and I saw you and the Principal kissing on the beach."

Luo Xiu froze. Then, remembering something, he was suddenly filled with rage and glared fiercely at the two women.

His glare made their scalps tingle. "Wh-what's wrong with you?"

Luo Xiu said coldly, "Before, when I was getting beaten, what were you two doing just standing there?"

Su Shenyun laughed awkwardly and slowly backed away. "That... that's your family's business."

Luo Xiu advanced on her, step by step. "It's one thing not to help, but you were actually gloating! You even freaking laughed!"

"I... I laughed?" Su Shenyun looked away, asking with a straight face.

Luo Xiu put his hands on her shoulders. "I'll make you cry later."

"No, please..." Su Shenyun's face was full of anguish as she cast a pleading gaze at Su Hongli.

Su Hongli coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "Luo Xiu, don't bully my sister!"

Luo Xiu glanced back at her. "Don't worry. You're not getting away either."

Su Hongli's face paled, and she turned and fled.

For the next two days, Luo Xiu remained in his room on the yacht. Day and night, aside from eating, drinking, using the restroom, and sleeping, he just lay in bed on his smartphone, watching the live broadcast of the Wutian Grand Ceremony.

Several days had passed since the opening of the Wutian Grand Ceremony, and the group stage was now almost over. The Henghai Provincial City Martial Association, which he and Lin Xiyue belonged to, had been placed in Group D. Coincidentally, the Sea City Martial Association was also in Group D.

Therefore, a showdown between the Provincial City Martial Association and the Sea City Martial Association was inevitable!

However, Luo Xiu hadn't expected Lin Xiyue to have become such a huge celebrity. Her fame was on par with A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry. This was not only because she was beautiful, but also because of her outstanding strength. At only twenty-four or twenty-five, she had already reached the early stage of the Embrace Qi Realm. She had single-handedly led the Provincial City Martial Association out of the elimination rounds and into the group stage.

For a heaven-sent prodigy who embodied both talent and beauty, it was impossible for the national audience to forget her.

"I heard there are many tough young experts in this year's Wutian Grand Ceremony," Su Shenyun's voice suddenly came from beside him.

Luo Xiu looked at the just-awakened Su Shenyun and asked, "How tough?"

Su Shenyun stretched languidly and smiled. "Of course, they wouldn't be a challenge for you. But if you don't go back soon, your delicate little wife might be in for a tough time when she runs into those young experts."

Luo Xiu said, "There's plenty of time. The group stage isn't even over yet."

Su Shenyun's expression turned serious. "Chen Xuanbao will definitely make a move, and his goal is the title of Martial Champion."

"What do you mean?"

Su Shenyun explained, "Any faction that wins the title of Martial Champion at the Wutian Grand Ceremony will receive significant support from Capital City. The most direct benefit is the chance to join the Proud Sun Sect."

Luo Xiu raised his eyebrows. "The Proud Sun Sect?"

Su Shenyun gave Luo Xiu a deep look and said, "The Proud Sun Sect is an ancient martial sect on par with Ghost Valley. And the ultimate prize for this Wutian Grand Ceremony is the Scorching Sun Profound Purity Fruit, provided by the Proud Sun Sect."

Luo Xiu said, "Actually, that fruit is my goal."

Su Shenyun said, "Ever since the Empress took the throne, the Proud Sun Sect has fallen under the jurisdiction of the Hua Country's Official Residence, dedicating itself to cultivating elite Martial Artists for the nation."

"You seem to know a lot," Luo Xiu remarked.

Su Shenyun rolled her eyes. "I am from the Audit Bureau, after all."

Luo Xiu suddenly put away his phone. He wrapped his arm around Su Shenyun's pale shoulders and casually slid down the thin strap of her nightgown. Then, his hand began to mischievously slide down toward her armpit.

Su Shenyun squirmed, her voice coquettish. "Hey, stop it. I'm still exhausted. Can't you spare me today?"

A proud smile touched Luo Xiu's lips. "We'll see if you dare to be so provocative again. Still, to think I managed to exhaust someone with the Innate Allure Bone... I guess I really am incredible."

Su Shenyun huffed and pushed him away. "Go find Hongli."

"She's been avoiding me since that time two days ago."

Su Shenyun thought for a moment, a sly smile suddenly appearing on her face. "Or... perhaps your big sister can take you to do something even more exciting."

"What is it?" Luo Xiu looked at her with great anticipation.

Su Shenyun rolled out of bed and quickly got dressed. "You'll know in a moment."

After leaving the room, Su Shenyun took Luo Xiu by the hand and led him to the yacht's top deck. The yacht was large and luxurious, but it was actually an intelligence base for the Audit Bureau in the Pacific Ocean, merely disguised as a pleasure craft.

For the past two days, Luo Xiu had been cooped up in his room. He was either watching the competition's live broadcast, sleeping, or sleeping *with* Su Shenyun, so he hadn't had a chance to explore properly.

Before long, Su Shenyun led Luo Xiu into a very large room. It was filled with various instruments and equipment, as well as several large display screens, giving it a mysterious, high-tech vibe.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Su Shenyun said nothing, simply pulling him forward by the hand. A moment later, she arrived at a door, pushed it open, and pulled Luo Xiu inside.

Luo Xiu froze the moment he stepped inside. This room... doesn't it look exactly like a girls' dormitory?

Women's clothes were hung everywhere, and all kinds of stockings fluttered in the breeze by the window.

"Su Fox... why did you bring me here?"

A mysterious expression on her face, Su Shenyun spoke a few sentences in the language of the Sakura Country, which Luo Xiu couldn't understand at all.

A moment later, the blankets on a large bed ahead of them were slowly pulled back, and a beautiful woman from the Sakura Country sat up.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, the beautiful woman spoke in stilted Hua Country language, "Sister Shenyun, is there a mission?"

At that moment, however, Luo Xiu was already stunned. He stared wide-eyed at the newly-awakened beauty, completely petrified.

"Th-that... that's Teacher Feng?!"

He whirled to face Su Shenyun, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and confusion.

Su Shenyun lifted her chin proudly. "All those countless nights... you spent quite a few of them secretly watching Teacher Feng on your computer, didn't you?"

Luo Xiu couldn't help but blush. He gave Teacher Feng an embarrassed yet polite wave. I almost didn't recognize her with her clothes on.

Teacher Feng smiled sweetly and nodded at Luo Xiu.

Just then, another beautiful woman sat up in a different bed. Luo Xiu glanced over and was stunned motionless once again.

"Teacher Youcai?! Th-this... is this really Teacher Youcai?!"

Su Shenyun remained quite calm, smiling as she said, "This might sound absurd, but they're actually agents the Audit Bureau stationed in the Sakura Country." Pointing to a bed in the front-left, she continued, "And that one over there is Teacher Youya. You should recognize her too, though she's not awake yet."

Luo Xiu was speechless.

He suddenly felt as if he had been cast into Hell.

Su Shenyun said meaningfully, "Little Mule, you stay here and learn well from your teachers. Your big sister won't disturb your studies."

With that, she turned to leave.

Luo Xiu also turned to follow, trying to escape from Hell, but Su Shenyun gave him a hard shove back inside, and the door was slammed shut and locked.

"Su Fox, you set me up!"

"Open the door!"

"Let me out!"

"You must be Luo Xiu-kun, right? I've heard Sister Shenyun mention you before."

By now, Teacher Feng had gotten out of bed and was walking toward Luo Xiu. She wore only a slip dress, her figure a hazy, alluring sight.

Luo Xiu couldn't help but gulp. This is the real, uncensored version...

For some reason, however, he felt incredibly nervous and afraid.

"Um... Teacher Feng, actually... I'm a fan of yours."

"Thank you." Teacher Feng walked to the water cooler and poured Luo Xiu a glass of water, her bright, curious eyes fixed on him. "Luo Xiu-kun, why do you seem so afraid of me?"

"I-I'm not scared." Luo Xiu struggled to maintain his composure, forcing a smile. "This is just the first time I'm seeing you in person. It's a little hard to believe."

"Anyway, uh, you all should go back to sleep. I won't disturb you any longer."

He was about to make a break for the door, but Teacher Youcai, who was already prepared, swiftly moved to block his path and grabbed his hand.

"Luo Xiu-kun, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Youcai can make you a delicious breakfast."
