Chapter 3710: 4.1310 Welcome Home

When the two arrived at Fenglei City's entrance, they found a hidden spot and released Immortal Venerable Jinshang and the two Spirit Venerables from the storage talisman. They then had the three, along with Mo Lian, set up a defensive barrier to conceal the aura of an open Spiritual Domain. Only then did Qiao Mu summon her seven companions, including Qi Xuanxuan and Duanmu Qing, from the Star Domain.

After this period of long, secluded training, consuming Spirit-Breaking Pills to advance their realms, and soaking in medicinal baths to stabilize themselves, Qi Xuanxuan's cultivation had already broken through to Spirit Realm Level 10. Duanmu Qing had entered the Fifteenth-Level Spirit Master Minor Achievement Realm. Although her realm was still higher than Qiao Mu's, their actual combat power wasn't easily comparable. After all, Lord Qiao Qiao held trump cards that could even put a Transcendent God Realm expert in a tight spot if they weren't careful. Moreover, Lord Qiao Qiao had never relied on medicine for advancement; she didn't even take Spirit-Breaking Pills when breaking through. Of course, this was also closely related to the Source of Sacred Wood, Sacred Water, and Sacred Earth within her. She didn't need any Spirit-Breaking Pills to easily break through realm bottlenecks, never feeling stuck at the cusp of a certain realm.

A City in Commotion

As the group of eight stepped through the gates of Fenglei City, they saw a flurry of people rushing towards Academy Street.

"Hurry, hurry! Last three minutes to place your bets! Place your bets and no changes! Place your bets and no changes!"

Qi Xuanxuan quickly grabbed a running uncle. "Hey, hey, hey, uncle! What are you all doing?"

"Oh, little girls, are you new to Fenglei City? The people from Tianhua Academy are challenging Royal Academy again today!"

"Heh heh, that daughter of Tianhua Academy's vice dean, she's truly a stunner..." The uncle's expression turned lecherous, causing Qi Xuanxuan to quickly recoil her hand, throwing him back a few steps.

"Want to go check it out?"

"We should go back to Misty Peak first and report to Dean Yun," Qiao Mu said, rolling her eyes. "Lest he deduct our contribution points for today again."

"Right, right, my contribution points are almost gone!"

"Actually, when we went to the Sun and Moon Secret Realm this time, we agreed from the start that our vacation wouldn't be deducted, right? Why are our contribution points being deducted now?"

"Maybe the dean's brain short-circuited," Little Fatty concluded, and everyone looked at him. Seeing everyone looking at him, Little Fatty chuckled foolishly, "Isn't it true?"

The group proceeded into the inner city, letting Immortal Venerable Jinshang and the other two find a place to stay first, while the rest headed towards Misty Peak.

Dean Yun's Welcome

They hadn't even ascended the floating peak when Dean Yun Piaomiao's voice drifted down. "Come up."

Without another word, everyone swiftly ascended Misty Peak and saw the dean sitting alone in the small courtyard, leisurely sipping tea. Upon seeing them enter, Yun Piaomiao smiled and stood up, "Welcome home, students."

Little Fatty couldn't help but mumble, "He's a smiling fox; whoever believes him is unlucky."

Qi Xuanxuan, representing her teammates, stepped forward, placed one hand across her chest, bowed to Dean Yun, and immediately asked, "Dean, what's going on with our contribution points? Why were they all deducted??"

Yun Piaomiao calmly held his teacup, nodded at her, and said, "It's simple. Because you've been wandering outside for too long. The academy will automatically convert a portion of your contribution points into vacation days."
