[DD2]: 281 (R18)

The system-awarded God-bestowed soul ring could reach the level of a ferocious beast.

The term ferocious beast is a broad concept—any soul beast that has lived for over 200,000 years but has not reached a million years can be called a ferocious beast.

Theoretically, as long as Su Yu could withstand it, the lifespan of this God-bestowed spirit ring could reach 999,999 years.

It could be said that this soul ring was extremely precious.

For this reason, Su Yu did not absorb the ring for his sixth spirit ring—absorbing it now would be a waste in terms of value.

According to Su Yu's plan, this God-bestowed soul ring was reserved for his seventh or even eighth spirit ring.

Maximizing its value would ensure that no resources were wasted.

Taking a light breath, Su Yu stretched lazily.

Following the stone path down, he arrived at the mountainside.

At the pavilion on the mountainside, inner courtyard teachers were giving lectures, and many inner courtyard disciples were attentively learning.

Su Yu did not disturb them. He walked along the small path and arrived at the shore of Sea God Lake.

Sea God Lake was crystal clear, its blue waters rippling with soft waves, as if capable of cleansing one's soul.

With his hands lightly clasped behind him, Su Yu silently gazed at the vast lake.

"Why are you standing here alone, daydreaming?"

A soft, graceful voice rang in his ear as Zhang Lexuan appeared beside him.

She wore a black dress, her long hair cascading like a waterfall. Her delicate features were smooth and flawless, her skin as white as snow, pure as jade.

She naturally stood close to Su Yu, accompanying him in gazing at the expansive Sea God Lake.

Su Yu's spiritual power spread out, enveloping the area within several dozen meters, ensuring their privacy.

Looking at the lake, he spoke gently, "Sister Xuan, I'm leaving Shrek Academy."

"Hmm?"

Zhang Lexuan turned in surprise, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly as she looked at Su Yu's chiseled features.

"You can't stay here any longer?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "I've reached level sixty."

"I see."

Zhang Lexuan nodded lightly, then smiled.

"Alright then, if you want to leave, just go. This place isn't that great anyway."

"With your talent, you shouldn't be wasting time here."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

Su Yu sighed. "Since I've made up my mind, I don't want to delay any longer."

"I just can't bear to part with you."

"I'll miss you too," Zhang Lexuan said gently. "But as a man, you can't just dwell on matters of love—your journey is the vast stars and sea."

"As for me, as long as you think of me from time to time, I'll be satisfied."

"Go chase your dreams without worry. I'll always be here waiting for you."

Su Yu's heart trembled slightly. He turned and embraced Zhang Lexuan.

She leaned into his arms naturally, gently holding this young man who meant everything to her.

"You always know just what to say to touch my heart. You make me feel so emotional."

Su Yu stroked her silky hair, teasing.

Zhang Lexuan playfully hit him on the chest, enjoying the warmth of his embrace. "I'm just speaking from the heart."

Su Yu smiled faintly. Lifting his right hand, he gently tilted Zhang Lexuan's delicate chin, her stunningly beautiful face so close to him.

He studied her eyebrows, her eyes, her lips—everything about her was breathtaking.

She was exactly his type, in every way.

A beautiful and gentle elder sister like Zhang Lexuan—he truly couldn't resist her charms.

"You're so beautiful," Su Yu praised.

"Don't start—you're just trying to take advantage of me again, aren't you?"

Zhang Lexuan saw through his act immediately. Every time he sweet-talked her, it was always followed by some mischief.

"What do you mean to take advantage? Am I not allowed to be affectionate with my girlfriend?"

Su Yu blinked innocently.

At Shrek Academy, their relationship was public knowledge. Every inner courtyard student knew about them.

"Smooth talker!"

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at him. Then, she said seriously, "Xiao Yu, I need your advice on something."

"Before Elder Mu passed away, he wanted me to absorb his hundred-thousand-year soul bone. I didn't agree at the time, but he asked me to consider it."

"Now, even Dean Yan is urging me to absorb it as soon as possible to increase my strength."

"Should I accept it or refuse?"

Su Yu frowned slightly and answered without hesitation, "You must refuse. There's no way something from Mu En is completely clean."

"A hundred-thousand-year soul bone is great, but I doubt it'll come without strings attached."

"Don't worry about the soul bone. I'll take care of everything."

Su Yu had always been wary of Mu En.

Back when he obtained a dragon pill, he had Hai Bodong inspect it for a long time to ensure there were no hidden dangers before giving it to Di Mingli to consume.

Now Mu En was offering a soul bone to Zhang Lexuan—who knew if he had any ulterior motives?

Su Yu never hesitated to assume the worst about his opponents. Rationality told him that only by being cautious could he go further.

Zhang Lexuan was too important to him—he wouldn't allow anything to happen to her.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. I won't take it."

Zhang Lexuan made her decision without hesitation.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled.

Her complete trust in him warmed his heart.

He gazed at Zhang Lexuan, slowly leaning closer.

Her face flushed slightly as she whispered, "Xiao Yu, people are watching."

Su Yu chuckled. "That's exactly why I'm doing this. Before I leave, I need to give them some reassurance."

With that, he sealed her lips with his.

By the lakeside, they shared a deep kiss.

In the distance, three women who had been watching in secret let out a sigh.

Wu Ming crossed her arms, her already fiery figure looking even more striking. She pouted, clearly frustrated.

"Sister Ruoruo, we've been chasing Su Yu for three months now, and we still haven't made any progress."

"But Senior Sister Zhang got him so easily. Why is that?"

She couldn't understand—three stunning beauties had actively pursued Su Yu.

Any other man would have been overjoyed, but Su Yu had rejected them all.

Did they have no charm at all?

And they were three people together!

How could Su Yu not be tempted even a little?

It was simply incomprehensible.

"Who knows?"

"One thing's for sure—Su Yu is hard to win over."

"I completely misjudged him before. I thought he was a flirtatious playboy."

"But now, I see that his standards are unbelievably high."

"Getting into his heart is nearly impossible."

Han Ruoruo sighed helplessly.

She had failed numerous times as well, to the point where she was losing confidence.

She had always been a proud woman, admired as a genius.

But in front of Su Yu, her pride had nearly been worn away.

Especially when compared to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan had won Su Yu over so smoothly, while she struggled at every step.

At this point, she couldn't even get within two meters of Su Yu.

This guy was way harder to deal with than she had expected.

He's completely impervious.

Han Ruoru couldn't be that bad, right? Did he find her that unappealing?

Hearing Han Ruoru's words, Wu Ming felt a little aggrieved and said, "Sister, I've never been so discouraged before."

"I've treated him so well, never once losing my temper in front of him."

"I've given him all the gentleness I've never shown to anyone else."

"But why is he like a block of stone? No matter what I do, he won't warm up."

Wu Ming pouted, her beautiful eyes filled with grievances almost tangible. "Ming'er has never suffered such injustice before."

"If I were strong enough to beat him, I'd have tied up Su Yu and forced things to happen already."

"I refuse to believe that after experiencing my kindness, he could still reject me."

Han Ruoru was shocked upon hearing this. Looking at Wu Ming's watery eyes, her delicate body trembled as she tentatively asked, "Ming'er, could it be that you've fallen for him?"

"That's a dangerous thought."

Wu Ming shook her head and said, "Ming'er doesn't know, but he just feels different from other men."

"If it were anyone else, being pursued by the three of us, they would have jumped at the chance. But he didn't."

"Sometimes I feel wronged, but I can't bring myself to hate him."

"I envy Senior Sister."

Han Ruoru's heart skipped a beat. Something felt off about Wu Ming's state of mind.

Had she fallen for Su Yu?

But Su Yu didn't care about her at all. If this continued, the only one who would suffer was Wu Ming herself.

Han Ruoru's eyes flickered as she looked at Wu Ming's flushed cheeks. She made up her mind—she had to talk some sense into Wu Ming.

If Su Yu accepted her, then falling for him wouldn't be a bad thing.

But Su Yu wasn't interested. If Wu Ming still insisted on pursuing him and caught feelings on her own, she would only be asking for heartbreak.

As her best friend, Han Ruoru didn't want Wu Ming to suffer.

Her eyes wavered slightly.

...

Seagod Pavilion.

Gazing at the young couple embracing and kissing by the lakeside, Yan Shaozhe revealed a satisfied smile.

"Lexuan is doing well. She's our best bet now."

In his view, Su Yu was already deeply infatuated with Zhang Lexuan, completely caught up in love.

That was excellent news.

The more obsessed Su Yu was with Zhang Lexuan, the happier he was.

That way, Su Yu would be more aligned with Shrek Academy.

"Lexuan is indeed remarkable, worthy of being our inner court's top student."

"To make Su Yu fall for her so deeply, she must have some impressive skills."

"That kid Su Yu is no easy prey."

Cai Meier sighed sincerely.

She had personally experienced Su Yu's tactics and knew how difficult he was to deal with.

For Zhang Lexuan to capture Su Yu's heart like this, she was exceptional.

"Yeah, Lexuan is incredible. It's just a pity that Ruoru and the others ultimately failed."

"If all four of them had succeeded together, Su Yu would have been even more influenced, which would have been even better for the academy."

Yan Shaozhe sighed regretfully.

"This can't be helped. The fact that Lexuan has made progress is already good enough. As for the rest, there will be opportunities in the future."

Cai Meier reassured him.

"You're right. We should let things take their course and not rush it too much."

Yan Shaozhe sighed deeply.

...

After a moment of intimacy and whispered affections, Su Yu bid farewell to Zhang Lexuan and returned to his hotel.

Inside, Meng Hongchen and Wang Dong'er were both aware of Su Yu's imminent departure, and their moods were somewhat low.

Meng Hongchen handled it better. Though reluctant, she managed to control her emotions.

But Wang Dong'er, perhaps because of her deep dependence on Su Yu, was more sullen.

After dinner, she returned to the suite across the hall without saying a word.

Anyone could tell that her heart felt weighed down by a heavy cloud.

Su Yu took a sip of tea and cuddled with Meng Hongchen on the sofa for a while. Her cheeks flushed, and she leaned into Su Yu's embrace with attachment.

Su Yu gently held her and kissed her delicate, rosy lips.

Three months had passed, and Meng Hongchen had grown more mature and beautiful.

She glowed every day, her face soft and delicate as if it could be squeezed to release water. Her skin was like creamy jade, and her figure was lithe and graceful.

There was also an indescribable aura about her—subtly seductive and incredibly alluring.

Even her figure had grown more outstanding.

Naturally, all of this was closely related to Su Yu.

The only one who could help a girl grow as a woman was her man.

Su Yu kissed Meng Hongchen tenderly, his eyes full of affection and indulgence.

Meng Hongchen obediently responded, her gaze brimming with deep emotion and boundless tenderness.

After a long while, they finally calmed down.

Meng Hongchen gazed at Su Yu's handsome face as if she could never get enough of looking at him.

"Yu, once you leave this time, who knows how long it'll be before I see you again."

Meng Hongchen pouted, reluctant to part with him.

Su Yu gently rubbed her cheek and reassured her, "There's less than two years left until the exchange program ends."

"And only a little over two years until the next tournament starts."

"We'll see each other again soon."

Meng Hongchen shook her head. "But I'll miss you, and two years is too long."

As she spoke, she licked her lips and blinked at Su Yu with a teasing glint in her eyes.

Su Yu felt a heat rise within him. Over the past three months, their intimacy had only deepened, and both of them had grown in many ways.

"You little minx."

Su Yu scooped her up. "Tonight, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Su Yu's strong arms wrapped around Meng Hongchen's delicate frame as he carried her to the bed, her soft giggles turning to gasps as his lips found her neck.

Su Yu's strong hands roamed possessively over Meng Hongchen's perfect curves as he laid her on the silk sheets. His mouth found her neck, sucking and biting as she writhed beneath him. "I'm going to devour every inch of you," he growled, making her whimper with need.

He slowly peeled away her school uniform and sexy undergarments, revealing her creamy skin inch by tantalizing inch. His hot mouth followed the path of exposed flesh - trailing down her throat, between her full breasts, across her flat stomach. She gasped and arched as his tongue swirled around her hardened nipples, his fingers sliding between her thighs to find her already dripping wet.

"Please... I need you inside me," she begged as he teased her mercilessly. His thick shaft pressed against her entrance as he captured her lips in a searing kiss. She cried out in ecstasy as he finally thrust deep inside her tight heat, stretching and filling her.

"So wet... so perfect," Su Yu groaned, setting a steady rhythm that had her seeing stars. Their soul power crackled and merged with each thrust, amplifying every sensation to mind-blowing levels. She raked her nails down his muscled back as he pounded into her harder and faster.

"Right there! Don't stop!" she screamed as he hit her sweet spot over and over. Her inner walls clenched around him as she came undone, but he wasn't finished. He flipped her onto her hands and knees, gripping her hips as he took her from behind with animalistic passion.

"You're mine," Su Yu snarled, one hand tangled in her silken hair as he drove into her relentlessly from behind. His other hand snaked around to rub her swollen clit, making her cry out and buck against him desperately.

"Ahhhh! Yes... yours... all yours!" Meng Hongchen sobbed in pleasure, her breasts bouncing with each powerful thrust. The soul power crackling between them intensified, golden light dancing across their sweat-slicked skin.

He pulled her up against his chest, still buried deep inside her as his hands roamed possessively over her body. His fingers pinched and rolled her hardened nipples as his teeth grazed her shoulder. "Tell me what you want," he demanded hoarsely.

"F-fuck me harder... make me scream..." she whimpered, grinding back against him wantonly. He growled in approval, slamming into her tight heat with renewed vigor. The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room along with their moans of ecstasy.

Her inner walls fluttered around his thick shaft as another orgasm approached. "That's it Meng'er, come for me again," he purred in her ear, rubbing her clit faster. She threw her head back against his shoulder, crying out his name as waves of pleasure crashed over her.

He wasn't far behind, her pulsing channel milking his cock deliciously. With a final brutal thrust, he buried himself to the hilt and exploded inside her, filling her with his hot seed. They collapsed onto the silk sheets in a tangle of limbs, panting heavily.

Su Yu gathered her trembling form against his chest, pressing tender kisses to her temple. "My beautiful Meng'er," he murmured possessively.

Meng Honchen snuggled closer with a contented sigh, already eager for the next round...

Hours passed in a blur of passion. They lost count of how many times they reached the peak together, their stamina enhanced by their cultivation. The bed creaked beneath them as Su Yu took her from every angle, determined to thoroughly satisfy his beloved.

Finally, as the moon reached its zenith, Meng Hongchen collapsed in exhaustion, her body thoroughly claimed and marked by her boyfriend. Su Yu held her close, drinking in her satisfied sighs and gentle purrs of contentment.

Su Yu stepped out of the room and into the shower, while Meng Hongchen had already fallen into a deep sleep. After changing into fresh clothes, Su Yu walked over to the suite across the hall.

Wang Dong'er had been sulking, lost in her thoughts. Upon hearing movement, she turned around in surprise—only to see Su Yu entering.

"You… why are you here?"

A flicker of joy flashed through Wang Dong'er's eyes, but she deliberately acted nonchalantly.

"Came to check on you. You looked pretty gloomy earlier. What's wrong? Don't want me to leave?"

Su Yu grinned and teased her.

"Who said that? Don't flatter yourself."

Wang Dong'er, as always, was a master of saying one thing while feeling another.

Even though she was hopelessly in love, she always pretended to be aloof.
