Chapter 64: Raising an Ice Jade Scorpion for Fun

Lin Yun had no idea that a little rich girl had already set her sights on him. Right now, he was idly chatting with Ice Emperor.

With Ice Emperor on his person, it felt like having an expensive toy that a child had secretly bought but didn't dare show to adults.

Having a 400,000-year-old fierce beast as a pet, yet never being able to show it off, left Lin Yun feeling a bit suffocated.

Uncomfortable.

"Ice, can you give me a millennium-grade Ice Jade Scorpion to raise?" Lin Yun smacked his lips, sounding a bit bored.

"Hm? Why, Your Eminence? Did I do something to make you unhappy?" Ice Emperor fell silent for a moment before cautiously asking.

"No, not at all. It's just that treating you as a pet feels a bit disrespectful to your status as the ruler of the Extreme North. But if it's just a thousand-year-old one, then there's no issue." Lin Yun chuckled.

The Ice Jade Scorpion species was truly beautiful. Their bodies looked like they were made of jade and crystal—shiny, rare, and powerful.

Since Ice Emperor couldn't appear in front of others, getting an Ice Jade Scorpion to raise would allow Lin Yun to utterly dominate the beast battles in the arena.

'What kind of strange hobby is this, Your Eminence?' Ice Emperor thought helplessly.

What kind of soul beast would want to keep another soul beast as a pet?

Wait—wasn't that dumb bear Xiaobai raised by Xue'er since childhood?

Could it be that His Eminence wanted to do the same and raise a soul beast for fun?

'As expected, I am His Eminence's favorite soul beast! Even the pet he wants to raise is one of my kind! That so-called Emperor Auspicious Beast wants to compete with me? Hmph! Too young!'

Ice Emperor joyfully indulged in her own fantasies.

Seeing Ice Emperor remain silent, Lin Yun thought she was unwilling. After all, the Ice Jade Scorpion species was extremely rare. Asking her to bring one over just for him to raise as a pet might indeed be difficult for the clan leader.

So, he didn't insist.

"If it's too much trouble, forget it. I'll ask Bijie if she can get me an Emerald Swan instead." Lin Yun gently patted Ice Emperor on his chest, speaking reassuringly.

Ice Emperor panicked instantly.

What? His Eminence doesn't want my kind anymore?

Unacceptable! Only my kind is suitable as His Eminence's pet!

Emerald Swans? Stay away!

"No, no! Your Eminence, you misunderstood. I was just thinking about which clan member would be best for you. I'm not unwilling!" Ice Emperor quickly said.

"Then it's settled! When the time comes, Your Eminence, please stay with the Myriad Demon King for a while. With his protection, I'll feel safe returning to the Extreme North to bring you a clan member."

Lin Yun blinked in confusion.

Was his Soul Beast Overlord status really this useful?

Asking Ice Emperor to gift him a clan member to raise, and she didn't even hesitate?

"As long as you're willing, that's enough. I'll make time to go." Lin Yun responded with a smile.

Only then did Ice Emperor sigh in relief, retracting her restless pincers.

After a while, as the class bell rang, Mu Jin gracefully walked into the classroom. She placed the teaching materials on the podium and smiled at everyone.

"Good morning, students."

"Good morning, Teacher Mu!" N voices replied in unison.

There was no denying it—Mu Jin's gentle nature made her very approachable. While most of the outer court classes were still stuck in a dark-forest survival mentality due to the Zhou Yi incident, Mu Jin's Class Eight had already returned to an idyllic state.

This was progress!

Lin Yun didn't sense any students being on guard against Mu Jin.

Mu Jin clapped her hands lightly, and the students quieted down.

"Before we start class today, I have an announcement." Mu Jin smiled. "Since Class One was dissolved, many of its students have joined Class Eight. I hope everyone gets along, so today, instead of lessons, we'll do self-introductions again to get to know our new classmates. Sound good?"

"Sounds good!"

"Then let's start with our class monitor and vice monitor. Ning Tian!" Mu Jin gestured to Ning Tian, who nodded and stepped onto the podium, her face carrying a flawless noble smile.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Ning Tian, Class Eight's current monitor. My cultivation is at Rank 31, Soul Elder. Please take care of me." After speaking, she gave a slight bow before returning to her seat.

After Ning Tian sat down, the girl next to her, Wu Feng, stood up.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Wu Feng, the vice monitor, cultivation Rank 24, Great Soul Master." Wu Feng finished her introduction, then instinctively glanced at Lin Yun.

She immediately locked eyes with Lin Yun's dignified golden pupils. Her heart trembled violently, and she nearly embarrassed herself on stage.

Wu Feng hurriedly averted her gaze and returned to her seat.

Her reaction was noticed by only two people in the entire class—Lin Yun and Mu Jin, who was on the podium. Mu Jin pondered for a moment and then continued.

"Next!"

"Hello, everyone. My name is Nanmen Yuner, cultivation Rank 23, Agility-type Great Soul Master. Please take care of me~"

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yingwu, cultivation Rank 17, Soul Master."

"Hello, everyone…"

As time passed, the self-introductions of over a hundred students gradually came to an end.

It wasn't until Zheng Xiaolong's voice rang out that Lin Yun realized it was almost his turn.

"Hello, everyone! I'm Zheng Xiaolong, cultivation Rank 18, Soul Master. Please take care of me!" Zheng Xiaolong's loud voice echoed through the class.

After Zheng Xiaolong, little loli Xiao Xiao slowly walked up to the podium and spoke crisply, "Hello, everyone. I'm Xiao Xiao, cultivation Rank 21, Great Soul Master."

"Next!" After Xiao Xiao stepped down, Mu Jin turned to Lin Yun with a smiling gaze.

Lin Yun shrugged, got up from his seat, and walked to the podium.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Lin Yun, cultivation Rank 37, Soul Elder."

Rank 37!

The entire class fell silent.

Although there had long been rumors that Lin Yun had reached high-level Soul Elder cultivation, hearing him personally confirm it still left them deeply shocked.

Especially Ning Tian.

Only she knew how much effort she had put in for the title of "Nine Treasure Glazed Sect's Young Mistress." Since awakening her martial soul, she had dedicated nearly all of her time to training, with the sect providing massive amounts of precious resources, just so she could reach the Soul Elder stage at her age.

"This is the partner I need!" Ning Tian gazed at Lin Yun dreamily, murmuring softly.

Wu Feng: ?!

The pain. It hurt so much!

Lin Yun nodded at Mu Jin before stepping off the podium.

"Now that we've all gotten to know each other, you may use the rest of the time freely! Just remember not to disturb other classes and don't leave the classroom." Mu Jin winked playfully before gracefully exiting.
