82: Shui Bing'er's Goodbye Kiss

Chapter 82: Water Binger's Farewell Kiss

“Ye Wen!”

“Hm?”

Ye Wen turned his head and found Water Binger already behind him. As he turned, Water Binger's lips met his.

The two kissed like that.

Ye Wen stood frozen. His first kiss had already been taken by Water Binger years ago, and this wasn't the first time he had kissed a girl.

But before it was an accident, this time, Water Binger had actively kissed him.

“Bing'er, you...”

Ye Wen stood there foolishly, feeling the warmth of Water Binger's lips and the charming fragrance emanating from her body. For a moment, his heart raced, and his mind was in turmoil—it was the feeling of being smitten!

Water Binger slowly withdrew her pink lips, said nothing, then shyly turned and ran away, disappearing from Ye Wen's sight.

Water Binger thought to herself, even if he was emotionally dull, she had kissed him actively, so he shouldn't be so clueless as to not know she liked him, right?

And indeed, he wasn't. Although Ye Wen's emotional intelligence wasn't high, it wasn't that low. He understood: Water Binger liked him.

He understood why she had been so sad when she learned he was leaving.

“This girl...”

Ye Wen watched Water Binger's disappearing back, even wanting to chase after her, but he ultimately didn't take a step, sighing in his heart.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally turned and left.

But that kiss had been deeply imprinted in his heart, even allowing Water Binger to occupy a large part of his inner world.

A moment later.

Ye Wen returned to the villa. At this moment, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Naer, and others had already been waiting for a long time.

“Did you tell Bing'er?” Snow Empress asked.

Xiao Bai, considering Water Binger's feelings, asked, “What was Bing'er's reaction?”

Evil Tiger shook his head and said, “Do you even need to ask? All of us, who are like peerless geniuses to Tianshui Academy, are leaving. How could she be happy? Plus, Bing'er also feels about Boss...”

Evil Tiger paused halfway through his sentence.

Ye Wen looked at Evil Tiger and asked, “So you all knew?”

“As the saying goes, ‘the bystander sees more clearly than the player.’ Boss, only you couldn't see it. Who among us didn't know?” Xiao Bai said.

“Alright.” Ye Wen sighed helplessly.

His thoughts had always been on cultivating Spirit Beast forces and improving his own strength, and he hadn't really considered matters of romance.

Until today, looking back and thinking carefully, he could indeed feel it.

Now he didn't want to think about these things anymore, because they were about to leave Tianshui City.

“Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. It's time to leave Tianshui City.”

Ye Wen took his Spirit Beast companions and the group of Slaughter City Spirit Masters led by Scott, and left Tianshui City.

As for their next destination and the location for building their self-created academy, they had actually discussed it over the past year.

They would go to a coastal city in the northern part of the continent, near a place called Beihai City, to establish the academy.

That area belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire, and when participating in the Soul Master Competition, it would be part of the Heaven Dou Sub-Area. It was also very close to the Extreme North Land.

In fact, if the location of Spirit City hadn't been near the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Wen might have chosen to build the academy in the area near the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the way, Ye Wen arranged matters.

“Scott, you take a group of people to the Star Dou Great Forest and bring Da Ming and Er Ming over. Tell them that we are establishing our own academy and participating in the Soul Master Competition, and we need them as substitutes.”

“Yes, Master!”

Scott responded respectfully, then said to a few Spirit Saints, “You few, come with me!”

Soon, Scott led his team away.

Ye Wen continued, “Xiao Bai, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Naer, you all go to Beihai City first. I'll take Evil Tiger to Shrek Academy. It's time to subdue that rabbit.”

“Once we subdue that hundred-thousand-year Soft Bones Rabbit, we will return immediately.”

“After you arrive at Beihai City, Snow Empress or Ice Empress, one of you two should go back to the Extreme North Land and call over A Tai and Ice Bear King. They will temporarily accompany us to participate in the Soul Master Competition.”

“Okay.” Snow Empress and Ice Empress nodded.

“Xiao Bai, your main task is to apply to the Empire for the procedures to establish and found the academy, and to select the location for the academy's construction. Don't choose within the city; it's inconvenient for us to switch forms at any time. Choose outside the city, preferably in a remote, uninhabited mountainous area.”

“Okay, I understand.” Xiao Bai nodded.

A Spirit Master academy isn't something you can just open whenever you want. Of course, you can secretly establish an academy and start teaching, but it would be considered private operation without any business license.

Such an academy would have no qualification to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

You must apply to the respective Empire for the qualification to establish an academy, handle all the procedures and processes, and gain the Empire's recognition and approval to be considered a true academy.

And applying to establish an academy is actually very simple, and the requirements aren't high. As long as you have a Spirit Master of the Spirit Saint level, you can apply for the qualification certificate to establish a Spirit Master academy; you just need to go through the process.

Of course, even if the procedures are completed, the academy is built, and it starts operating and recruiting Spirit Master students, it doesn't necessarily qualify to participate in the Soul Master Competition. First, it requires qualifications, and second, it's the strength of the academy.

If your entire academy's students don't even have a single Spirit Master student of the Spirit Elder level, how could anyone allow such a garbage academy to compete?

In terms of qualifications, a newly established academy certainly wouldn't have any, but money makes the world go round. In a society like the Empire system, there are especially many corrupt Empire nobles and officials.

As long as the academy is strong enough and you give some money, you can easily get it done and participate in the Soul Master Competition.

As for the location, you can build it wherever you like; they won't care. Whether you can recruit Spirit Master students, whether it will close down, or whether it can continue to operate, that's your own business.

“That's it. You all go to Beihai City first and handle the matters I've assigned.” Ye Wen said, then looked at Evil Tiger beside him: “Evil Tiger, let's go. To Shrek Academy.”

“Alright!”

Whoosh!

Ye Wen and Evil Tiger jumped directly off the carriage, temporarily parting ways, and then headed straight towards Shrek Academy.

On the other side, Tang San and Xiao Wu had successfully graduated from Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy. Under Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, Tang San and Xiao Wu were preparing to go to an academy called Shrek Academy to register and enroll.

Tang San and Xiao Wu followed the route Yu Xiaogang had given them to Shrek Academy.

On the way, the two traveled and chatted: “Third Brother, is this academy Grandmaster Yu mentioned reliable? Xiao Wu has never heard of it~”
