The students were taking notes quickly. Above each student's head was a monster in its original form, with varying strengths but no difference in status. Fang Zong could hear the whispers among the monsters who didn't like studying.
The students were also accompanied by spirits, who communicated with them telepathically and didn't mind the monsters hearing them. They often chatted and laughed heartily.
Fang Zong and Bai Baixue were chatting in hushed tones, talking about the students who were identified as monsters and ghosts.
"Interesting. With such a disturbance in the classroom, the Empress Dowager doesn't seem to care at all?"
"They'll suffer," Fang Zong said with a grin.
As they were talking, the Queen of the Owls raised a finger and snapped it. The monsters and ghosts among the students screamed in agony. When the class ended and the Queen of the Owls assigned homework, the screams became even more agonizing. Bai Baixue savored the lesson she had just learned and laughed, "Is she trying to turn ghosts into citizens of the Eastern Kingdom? Harmony, freedom, equality... How interesting. If he could really achieve these things, Fang Zong would truly be a hero. It's a pity he can't."
Fang Zong blinked: "Why can't you do it?"
"Because there are no heroes in this world, and I wasn't one in my past life either."
"Humanity's greatest strength lies in its willingness to act, its perseverance, and its relentless effort. With that, anything is possible." Fang Zong rubbed his hands together, took out a glass of juice from his Earth Fire Mini-World (which he had stored there), and handed it to Bai Baixue: "Did you used to think mortals could fly? Now we have airplanes and rockets; did you used to think mortals could fight ghosts and gods? Now we have..."
"You've included me in your list?"
Everyone has their own ambitions.
"What I want is for Fang Zong to accept Xiao Ning and Zeng Rou's feelings. Seeing them happy makes me happy too." Bai Baixue sipped her juice. She had never liked drinking these squeezed beverages and preferred to eat various fruits one bite at a time. The only difference was that she wasted food in her past life, so in this life she would carefully eat all the fruit she ate.
But as she pondered, she finished her juice: "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. Fang Zong, you, me, Zeng Rou, and Xiao Ning, we all have long lives. As long as we don't die in battle, or until the end of the Dharma era, we can live forever. The first revival of spiritual energy has only been halfway done. We don't know how many millions of years are still to go before the end of the Dharma era. In such a long time, anything can happen, including two or even many weddings. Fang Zong can't possibly never develop feelings for Xiao Ning and the others... And... during this time, I will... stay."
Bai Baixue's speech slowed, sounding somewhat uncertain, but she relaxed once she made the decision. By this time, the Empress and the students had already left. She and Fang Zong walked out of the classroom to a neatly manicured garden. Under the moonlight, Bai Baixue turned around and said, "Thank you for spending so much time with me. It helped me figure out a lot of things." As she spoke, she gently gave Fang Zong a hug.
Fang Zong: "..."
Bai Baixue: "..."
Upon physical contact, Bai Baixue immediately sensed something was wrong, looked up at Fang Zong.
In fact, she saw Li Meiniang, but a golden light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she saw a layer of very hot power on Fang Zong's body.
"Who are you!" Bai Baixue suddenly raised her hand.
"Uh, it's me." Fang Zong withdrew his power and gave an awkward laugh.
"I guessed it was you. To have condensed your own divine power microcosm so quickly, you really are..."
Bai Baixue wasn't angry. She turned around and walked briskly along the garden path.
Fang Zong walked alongside her, saying, "Actually, I saw your marriage proposal. It was a bit of an unreasonable request."
"As I just said, I'm not in a hurry. I've lived this long and I've seen through everything. Besides, I have nothing to do if I leave here, so I might as well help you fight... I don't distinguish between right and wrong. In short, I'll help you fight if I like you, and I'll beat you up anytime I don't like you."
"Still the same personality as before?"
"No, it's just a woman's emotional decision, a 'what's the use' attitude..."
Bai Baixue laughed and beckoned to Fang Zong's back. Fang Zong wasn't surprised, because a student had been following them ever since they left the classroom.
“Principal…” a student timidly stepped forward.
It was a boy, and there were no monsters or ghosts around him. Bai Baixue smiled as soon as she saw the boy, and Fang Zong couldn't help but smile as well.
"Principal, could you please sign this for me?" The boy asked, still holding a pen and paper.
Fang Zong signed his name directly, and then he and Bai Baixue turned and left, leaving the boy behind watching him sign his name with a silly grin.
Once they were a distance away, Bai Baixue asked, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"It's none of my business."
"But I find it boring, and I'm interested." Bai Baixue still has a bit of a monkey-like nature when it comes to joining in the fun.
Fang Zong said nonchalantly, "Oh, then let's go take a look."
The male student possessed a faint ghostly aura, not that of a spirit, but rather the kind of ghost that had harmed people. Most powerful cultivators wouldn't be able to detect it, but Bai Baixue, with her Fiery Eyes of Truth, and Fang Zong, whose body was filled with True Yang energy—the most effective counter to ghosts—were able to see it clearly.
Moreover, Fang Zong knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from his own dead cat—
Hu Batian strolls around campus every day, acting like an elder; he can't resist this kind of 'fun' thing.
"Let's go tomorrow. My seclusion isn't over yet," Fang Zong suggested after thinking for a moment.
"Your seclusion...is not... over?" Bai Baixue was stunned.
The so-called retreat, as the name suggests, is to resolve all kinds of problems encountered in spiritual practice, in life, and in one's mind.
