Chapter 214: Instructor Ruo Ling! Shocking the Jia Nan Academy

"Alchemists really are in high demand!"

Watching the excited disciples of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan was filled with emotion and a hint of envy in his gaze.

Ya Fei.

Yao Ye.

Yun Yun.

Xiao Yu.

One stunning beauty after another offered themselves willingly. It was hard for any man not to envy that.

But alas, envy was all he could muster.

A seventh-tier alchemist.

A Dou Ancestor expert.

The mere thought was terrifying.

Such figures were beyond imagination for the Xiao Clan.

In the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Emperor experts were already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. A Dou Ancestor was the stuff of legends.

For the Xiao Clan, forget a Dou Emperor—even a Dou Spirit expert was seen as an awe-inspiring existence.

"Power!"

Clenching his fist tightly, Xiao Yan's eyes burned with desire.

Yet, despite his restored talent, he was still far from becoming a true powerhouse. Currently, he was only at the fourth stage of Dou Disciple. Even reaching the fifth stage felt like a distant goal.

Time passed swiftly.

The day of the wedding arrived.

In the Xiao Clan.

Inside Xiao Yu's bridal chamber, a gentle and intoxicating voice rang out.

"Yu'er, you look truly stunning!"

The speaker was a young woman in green, standing elegantly by Xiao Yu's side.

Her beautiful face held a warm, serene smile. Her soft gaze toward Xiao Yu was like a stream of clear water, gently flowing through the heart, making it impossible not to be captivated by her unique charm.

This woman appeared slightly older than Xiao Yu. Her voluptuous and graceful figure radiated a mature allure refined by time, a charm far beyond what the youthful Xiao Yu could compare.

She embodied the phrase "women are like water" to perfection.

"Instructor Ruo Ling, you're the real beauty here!"

Dressed in a vibrant red wedding dress, Xiao Yu cheerfully threw herself into Ruo Ling's arms, hugging her slender yet curvaceous waist with a playful grin.

"Hehe, Yu'er, you're getting married, yet you're still so rambunctious?"

Hugging Xiao Yu, Ruo Ling gently patted her smooth back and said with a soft smile.

"It's all your fault, Instructor, for being so gentle!"

Playfully nibbling on Ruo Ling's tender earlobe, Xiao Yu teased in a hushed tone, "If you keep being so gentle, the man you fancy in the future will surely be trapped by your softness!"

"You little rascal!"

A faint blush crept onto Ruo Ling's cheeks. Shaking her head helplessly, she affectionately patted Xiao Yu's head and said softly, "The bridal procession should be arriving soon. Make sure you're ready!"

"Instructor Ruo Ling! Sister Yu'er! The procession is here!"

Just as Ruo Ling finished speaking, Xue Ni rushed in excitedly to inform them.

Xiao Yu placed a red veil over her head, and with Ruo Ling and Xue Ni supporting her, she stepped out of the room.

Outside, Ruo Ling immediately noticed the awe-inspiring figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Even though she had already heard of its presence, seeing this majestic beast—equivalent to a Dou Emperor—up close was still a breathtaking experience.

No, wait.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was no longer at the sixth tier. It had ascended to the seventh tier, temporarily serving as Zhou Yi's mount.

Thanks to Zhou Yi's alchemical assistance, the lion had fully awakened its bloodline and advanced in strength, now comparable to a Dou Ancestor expert.

Instructor Ruo Ling, witnessing this, felt a chill run through her heart.

"How terrifying to advance a sixth-tier beast to the seventh tier in such a short time! Yu'er marrying Master Zhou is indeed fortunate, though it feels like a high climb. Yet, with Zhou Yi's many women, I wonder if Yu'er might suffer in the future."

Zhou Yi's other wives—Ya Fei, Yao Ye, and Yun Yun—were all far superior to Xiao Yu in status and strength.

But these were not matters for an outsider to meddle in. Even if she worried, Ruo Ling could only keep it to herself.

Recovering from her shock, Ruo Ling finally laid eyes on the legendary Zhou Yi.

"Extraordinary, unparalleled, even more remarkable than the rumors. And so handsome!"

Despite her composed nature, Ruo Ling found herself momentarily dazed.

She had seen many talented individuals in her time, but compared to Zhou Yi, they were like fireflies against the full moon.

Zhou Yi noticed Ruo Ling as well, instantly discerning her identity. Though not an unparalleled beauty, her gentle and serene aura was utterly mesmerizing.

Another addition to the harem.

Descending from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Zhou Yi approached Xiao Yu and escorted her atop the lion.

Ruo Ling and Xue Ni, acting as her attendants, followed closely behind. As they stepped onto the lion's back, both women felt as though they were in a dream.

Especially Xue Ni, who was overwhelmed by awe.

This was the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined stepping onto such a creature.

In this moment, Xue Ni couldn't help but envy Xiao Yu.

She even felt an impulsive desire to marry Zhou Yi herself.

After all, Zhou Yi was not only immensely powerful but also incredibly handsome—a man as rare as phoenix feathers.

"Let's depart!"

With Zhou Yi's command, the Amethyst Winged Lion King led the procession. Surrounding it were numerous fifth-tier flying magical beasts, forming a grand and imposing parade.

From atop a flying magical beast, Su Qian, the Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy, observed the scene with awe.

"Master Zhou's extravagance is truly astonishing!"

"Indeed," agreed Hu Gan, the Outer Academy's Vice Dean. "The Amethyst Winged Lion King has ascended to the seventh tier. Even our academy doesn't possess such a mount!"

"But what's more shocking," Su Qian added via spiritual transmission, "is that standing before Master Zhou feels akin to facing the Academy's Headmaster."

Hu Gan was stunned. "How could that be? The Headmaster is a Dou Venerate!"

"I can't say for sure, but Master Zhou's cultivation is undoubtedly far beyond mine."

This revelation left Hu Gan reeling.

Regardless, Zhou Yi's status as a seventh-tier alchemist alone was enough to warrant their respect.

The bridal procession quickly reached the Zhou Manor, where a sea of people had gathered, including many from Jia Nan Academy.

Among them were Xiao Yu's former suitors, who could only watch in heartbreak as she, now dazzling in her bridal attire, was led into Zhou Yi's household.

Yet, they dared not voice their discontent.

The gap between them and Zhou Yi was insurmountable.

A Dou Ancestor expert.

A seventh-tier alchemist.

Any one of these identities was enough to crush them like ants.

After a brief ceremony, Xiao Yu was escorted to the bridal chamber.

Zhou Yi entertained the guests briefly before eagerly heading to the chamber himself.

Xiao Yu's long, slender legs were undeniably alluring, though her strength left much to be desired. Zhou Yi didn't even need to exert himself before she succumbed.

Left unsatisfied, Zhou Yi sought out Yun Yun and Yao Ye to continue the night's festivities.

The next day, Zhou Yi met Queen Medusa and Yue Mei once more.

Medusa delivered the remaining ingredients for Zhou Yi's alchemical needs, and in return, he gave her the Boundary Breaking Pill. As a bonus, he gifted both Medusa and Yue Mei a Transformation Pill.

Yue Mei's gaze toward Zhou Yi grew increasingly seductive—one word from him, and she would willingly surrender herself.

However, Zhou Yi decided not to rush.

He had only just married Xiao Yu; it wouldn't do to act so indiscreetly.

There was plenty of time.

Medusa, with Yue Mei in tow, departed to begin her breakthrough to Dou Ancestor. Zhou Yi, meanwhile, began planning his next steps: to propose to Medusa after her ascension.
