After recovering for two more days in the cave, the two people and the cat set off back to Suzaku Academy.
Dongfang Mian returned to Qingmu Beast Academy immediately, found Dean Dong Ren, and handed him the bottle of gold-tempering liquid.
"Dongfang, you did a great job. Is the spirit stones I gave you enough?"
"Not quite enough, a little short, but it's okay," Dongfang Mian waved her hand.
“Hmm,” Dong Ren frowned and feigned anger, “How can I, the dignified dean of the Beast Academy, let my students pay for my affairs? Tell me, how much is owed, and I will make up the difference.”
"Alright, since you've put it that way, Dean, a total of fifty million spirit stones will suffice."
"How much, how much?!" Dong Ren almost choked on his own saliva.
“Fifty million, Dean. This bottle of Refining Gold Elixir cost a total of one hundred million spirit stones. You gave me fifty million back then, so I still owe fifty million,” Dongfang Mian said, stretching out her hand.
Dong Renyi grasped Dongfang Mian's hand and said with a serious expression, "Dongfang, thank you for your contributions to the academy. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Take care of your cultivation, goodbye."
After saying that, she walked away without looking back, leaving Dongfang Mian standing there with a sullen face, which almost made Aju burst out laughing.
With a face full of black lines, Dongfang Mian returned to her residence, ready to get a good night's sleep. She saw her roommate, Luo Xiaoyu, whom she hadn't seen for many days, standing in the yard, seemingly waiting for her. When she saw her return, Luo Xiaoyu looked hesitant to speak.
"Little Fish, what's wrong?" Dongfang Mian asked.
"Dongfang, I... I have something to ask you for a favor," Luo Xiaoyu said hesitantly.
“Hey, Little Fish, this isn’t like you at all. Why are you being so polite all of a sudden? Tell me, what happened?” Dongfang Mian said.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoyu burst into tears, catching Dongfang Mian off guard. After helping Luo Xiaoyu sit down in a chair, Luo Xiaoyu choked back tears and told the whole story.
It turns out that Luo Xiaoyu also came from the Tianwu Dynasty. She was the eldest daughter of the Luo family of the Tianwu Dynasty. The Luo family and the Shen family were similar, both being families that were neither the best nor the worst, and they had never had any special bloodlines in history.
Until Luo Xiaoyu was born, her water-attribute bloodline instantly ignited the ancestral graves of the entire Luo family, and the Luo family held a grand banquet to celebrate Luo Xiaoyu's birth.
Logically speaking, the Luo family had finally produced such a precious child as Luo Xiaoyu, and should have received the attention of the entire Luo family. However, Luo Xiaoyu's biological father, the head of the Luo family, was a bit dim-witted.
It all started because Luo Xiaoyu's mother came from a family that was even more prominent than the Luo family. Marrying into the Luo family was considered a step down for her, but the relationship between the couple was still very good. Especially after Luo Xiaoyu was born, the head of the Luo family spoiled her mother rotten.
A few years later, the head of the Luo family took another concubine, who soon gave birth to a boy. This boy was born with ordinary blood and had no special characteristics.
The head of the Luo family was very disappointed and his attitude towards his concubine and the boy was quite cold.
Not long ago, for some unknown reason, the head of the Luo family insisted that Luo Xiaoyu was not his biological daughter, claiming that a master had calculated that it was impossible for him and his wife's bloodline to produce a child with special bloodline like Luo Xiaoyu.
Subsequently, his attitude towards Madam Luo became increasingly cold, and later he simply locked up Luo Xiaoyu's mother after she started school.
Madam Luo couldn't bear the contrast and wanted to prove her innocence by dying, but the head of the Luo family threatened her that if she dared to seek death, he would go all out and remove the mysterious bloodline connecting her to Luo Xiaoyu's body and cripple her.
