Xu Yunhan tactfully retreated to his room, allowing the girls to talk among themselves.

However, he ended up entering Xiaowu's room instead.

Xiaowu was in the midst of refining the Heartbroken Crimson Love Grass, an immortal-grade herb with unique properties—once absorbed, it would make the user utterly devoted to the one they loved while also suppressing the aura of a spirit beast.

"I've actually reached level 40!"

After completing the refinement, Xiaowu opened her eyes, exhilarated. Then she noticed Xu Yunhan watching her from the side, and her cheeks flushed inexplicably.

"Yunhan… why are you here?"

Xu Yunhan smiled faintly. "Rongrong and Zhuqing are done, so I came to check on you. Congratulations on your breakthrough."

"Hehe!"

"Thank you!"

Overcome with excitement, Xiaowu rushed over and hugged him, then boldly kissed him.

Her joy wasn't just due to the surge in spirit power—more importantly, her spirit beast aura was now completely suppressed. Even a Title Douluo wouldn't be able to detect her true nature unless she willingly revealed herself.

This meant she could safely cultivate until she reached the Soul Sage realm and entered her mature phase. By then, she would essentially be considered fully human.

The two kissed for a long time.

Xiaowu wrapped her arms around Xu Yunhan's neck, her eyes brimming with affection. "Yunhan, I like you."

Xu Yunhan chuckled. "I like you too."

"Hehe." Delighted, Xiaowu kissed him again.

She had been too excited earlier to savor the moment—now, she wanted to enjoy it properly.

So sweet…

So happy…

Since Zhu Qing had already accepted her and Rongrong, Xiaowu saw no reason to hold back. If none of them could have Xu Yunhan all to themselves, then they might as well share the happiness.

"Ahem."

The door, which neither of them had noticed opening, revealed Zhu Qing and Ning Rongrong standing at the entrance, having watched for a while.

"Zhuqing… Rongrong…"

Flustered, Xiaowu pushed Xu Yunhan away, unsure of what to say.

Xu Yunhan smoothly defused the situation. "Come in, both of you. Let's hear about your gains."

Ning Rongrong glanced at Zhu Qing, already acknowledging her as the "main wife." "Zhuqing, you go first."

Zhu Qing smiled. "I've reached level 40—an increase of about seven levels. My martial soul's quality, spiritual power, and physique have all improved significantly. My future cultivation speed should be much faster now. I never imagined immortal herbs could be so miraculous!"

Beyond that, her aura had also transformed—she now exuded an even more ethereal elegance. Her skin had become smoother, fairer, and more delicate, her natural fragrance even more intoxicating.

Ning Rongrong then chimed in excitedly. "I probably gained the most—over eight levels! I'm also at level 40 now. My spiritual power has multiplied more than tenfold, and my physique has improved drastically. But the most important thing is…"

She summoned her Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda. "Look! My Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda has evolved into a Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda! You have no idea how significant this is—for me, and for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!"

Her eyes shimmered with emotion as she gazed at Xu Yunhan. "Yunhan, I don't even know how to thank you. Really."

Zhu Qing teased, "What else can you do? Offer yourself to him, of course. Right, Xiaowu?"

Xiaowu, still blushing, nodded. "Zhuqing's right."

Ning Rongrong stepped forward and embraced Xu Yunhan. "I'm willing."

Xu Yunhan wrapped his arms around her. "I'll cherish all of you."

After a long hug, they separated.

Xiaowu spoke up. "I've also reached level 40. Now all three of us are at the same stage. My martial soul, spiritual power, and physique have improved tremendously too."

She didn't mention the suppression of her spirit beast aura—deep down, she feared that if Xu Yunhan and the others found out, they might reject her… or worse, kill her for her hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and bone.

"This is amazing! Now that we're all level 40, we'll soon be Spirit Ancestors!"

Ning Rongrong grabbed Zhu Qing and Xiaowu's hands, beaming.

Xu Yunhan interjected, "Coincidentally, after taking the immortal herbs, I've reached level 50. We can ask Teacher Erlong and the others to help us hunt spirit rings soon."

The three girls turned to him in unison. "Yunhan, you monster!"

They had sensed his spirit power surging earlier but hadn't had the chance to ask before he presented them with the immortal herbs.

"I think, to thank Yunhan, we should prepare him a lavish dinner," Zhu Qing suggested. The other two immediately agreed.

"Since you're all so eager, I'll graciously accept," Xu Yunhan said with a grin.

The three girls promptly set off to gather ingredients.

As they walked through Shrek Academy, they instantly drew the attention of everyone around them.

"So beautiful!"

"Goddesses!"

"It's those three! Why do they seem even more stunning?"

"Comparing myself to them is just depressing!"

They captivated countless male students.

Three boys approached them.

"Greetings, new classmates! I heard you were originally from Shrek Academy? I'm Tailong!"

"I'm Huang Yuan!"

"I'm Jing Ling!"

Among them, Tailong was particularly burly and muscular.

"Sorry, we're busy right now. Please excuse us," Ning Rongrong said dismissively. She'd rather spend time cooking for Xu Yunhan than chatting with random boys.

Xiaowu and Zhu Qing ignored them outright.

"Oh… uh, of course! We'll talk another time!"

Tailong and the others awkwardly stepped aside, watching the three goddesses walk away, dazed.

"So gorgeous…" Tailong wiped his mouth. "Especially Xiaowu. So adorable."

Huang Yuan disagreed. "Zhu Qing is the prettiest. So… well-endowed!"

Jing Ling rolled his eyes at them. In his opinion, Ning Rongrong was the best—like an untouchable princess.

Ever since Zhu Qing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiaowu arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy (now Shrek Academy), these three had found all other girls in the academy utterly unremarkable.

"Three idiots!"

A group of nearby girls scoffed at them.

"Ignore them," said the prettiest among them.

"I think our Jiang Zhu is the most beautiful—plus, she can heal!" one of the girls teased.

"I can't compare to those three. Honestly, I think they're stunning. I'd love to get to know them," Jiang Zhu said with a smile—one that was indeed quite charming.

"I heard that because of the Shrek Seven Devils, the academy is reorganizing the team for the Spirit Master Tournament in two years. All seven of them are guaranteed spots, leaving only four for the rest of us," another girl grumbled.

"Why should they get special treatment? Not only did the academy change its name, but they're also favoring the Shrek Seven Devils so much!"

Meanwhile, Zhu Qing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiaowu headed to the cafeteria to buy ingredients for their cooking.

"Hey, isn't that Xiaowu and the others?"

"Did they suddenly become even more beautiful? Or is it just me?"

Near the cafeteria, Ma Hongjun spotted them and nudged Oscar.

The two had been chatting up some girls, but now, as they looked over, their eyes lit up—especially Oscar's when he saw Ning Rongrong. She had indeed become even more radiant, her aura more refined.

Suddenly, the girls beside Ma Hongjun and Oscar seemed utterly lackluster in comparison.

What a bunch of mediocrities…
