"I don't know, they're probably still looking for you," Xiao Chenzhao said while fanning the fire.
“Oh…” Ling Yunxi nodded in response.
"Yunxi, you must never go to the river again, it's too dangerous."
Xiao Chenzhao reminded him, "Father is terrified just thinking about it."
"If you like beastmen, your father will find you a few more another day. We don't want that fox clan prince."
"What good is it for Jiang Yichuan to be good-looking if he has no character?"
He was furious at the thought of Jiang Yichuan joking about Ling Yunxi's life, but they were here to study, and he had to be responsible for their safety.
Ling Yunxi knew he was worried about his daughter, so she comforted him, "Father, don't worry, I will never do anything to hurt myself again, nor will I try to please them anymore."
"Yes, that's my good daughter!" Xiao Chenzhao said with satisfaction as he grilled the fish.
"Oh, right, Father, I've learned to swim since I fell into the river," Ling Yunxi said, making an excuse to tell him this.
Xiao Chenzhao exclaimed incredulously, "Really? Yunxi, you're not lying to me."
“It’s true, Father, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to save myself from the river.”
Xiao Chenzhao's eyes paused in confusion for a moment, then, after accepting the situation, they lit up again.
"That's great, Yunxi has really turned misfortune into blessing, but we should still go to the river less often in the future."
"Yes, I understand, Father." Ling Yunxi was about to get up after resting.
"Here it is, the delicious grilled fish. Yunxi, come and try your father's cooking." Xiao Chenzhao said as he brought over the grilled fish.
"Okay!" Ling Yunxi looked around and saw bowls and chopsticks on the table next to them. She went over and got a set for the two of them.
"Here you go, Father." She handed it to him without hesitation.
When Xiao Chenzhao saw Ling Yunxi take the bowls and chopsticks and return them to him, he looked surprised and said, "Yunxi, you..."
"What's wrong, Father?" Ling Yunxi asked curiously.
She suddenly remembered that the original owner of the body in her memory would never take the initiative to do this; she would always wait for Xiao Chenzhao to prepare the food, and he would even personally bring her the bowls and chopsticks.
Sometimes she even needed her father to feed her.
Ling Yunxi looked at the bowl and chopsticks in front of her and smiled, "Father, now that I'm all grown up, I should learn to be independent. I won't need you to do these things for me anymore."
Then Ling Yunxi picked up a piece of fish, tasted it, and exclaimed, "Mmm, delicious!"
Xiao Chenzhao was moved by Ling Yunxi's words, seeing that his daughter, whom he had raised for so long, had finally become sensible.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she choked up and said, "Our Yunxi has really grown up. Now she even knows how to be considerate of her father."
"No matter how old Yunxi is, she will always be her father's precious daughter."
Ling Yunxi hadn't expected that her simple words would touch Xiao Chenzhao so deeply.
Thinking of the original owner's past, Ling Yunxi couldn't help but sigh. She had such a bad temper; she would hit people whenever things didn't go her way.
No wonder Xiao Chenzhao reacted so strongly.
"Come on, Father, have some too." Ling Yunxi put a piece of fish in his bowl.
"Okay, thank you." Xiao Chenzhao was so touched that his hands trembled slightly as he picked up the bowl and ate. "Yunxi, you should eat more too."
"Yes, Father too."
...
After finishing her meal, Ling Yunxi got up and washed the bowl.
"Father, how can I get into the Beast Academy?" she asked Xiao Chenzhao.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenzhao guessed that she was going to find those males again and said worriedly, "Yunxi..."
"Father, don't worry, I won't chase after those males like that anymore. But I've heard that the Beast Academy is a collection of survival skills compiled by the Holy Female and the leaders of various tribes, and I'd like to go and learn them too," Ling Yunxi said earnestly.
In this beast world, unlike other females, she doesn't have many beast husbands to protect her, and of course, she doesn't want to rely on anyone to survive.
Learning was her purpose in entering the Beast Academy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenzhao excitedly said, "Alright, since Yunxi wants to learn, I'll go talk to your mother about it."
"Yes, thank you, Father."
"No need to thank me. Yunxi is working so hard and making progress these days. I'm really happy for you." He said and immediately went out.
"Yunxi, wait for good news from your father!"
Outside the Animal Science Cave—
“I disagree,” Ling Huashuang said outright.
"Why? Aren't you going to consider this? She's your daughter!" Xiao Chenzhao pleaded with his eyes.
"Why?" Ling Huashuang got angry just thinking about it.
"Do you think I don't know why she came here?" she said angrily.
"You're her father too. You not only fail to discipline her properly, but you also allow her to do this kind of thing?"
"Yunxi genuinely wanted to come and learn, and besides, she has already changed!"
Xiao Chenzhao said, "I guarantee she will never hurt any other males again."
Ling Huashuang still didn't believe Xiao Chenzhao's words, "She's lying to you, can't you even tell?"
"How can I explain it to you so you'll believe me?" Xiao Chenzhao asked anxiously.
"No need to say more, this is non-negotiable." Ling Huashuang said and turned to leave.
Xiao Chenzhao stepped forward and said, "Just give her a chance. She'll definitely study hard. Don't you want to see her become more ambitious and outstanding?"
"If she's still the same as before, it's not too late to refuse her then. It's just a matter of having one more seat."
"That's all?" Ling Huashuang stopped after hearing this, and said angrily, "Do you know how much effort countless tribal orcs have to put in to get this one seat?"
“I know, but Yunxi is still your daughter. Give her a month. If she’s still the same as before, then you can kick her out.”
Ling Huashuang hesitated after hearing this, "That empty seat was originally intended for the High Priest's daughter, Pu Yueling, if she wants it..."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Let them compete against each other tomorrow, and whoever wins will get it."
"this……"
Xiao Chenzhao understood Ling Yunxi; he had indeed been spoiled by her a bit too much. He had originally planned to find her a few more beast husbands to serve her, which resulted in her not knowing many things.
"Okay, I agree."
At this moment, Ling Yunxi appeared.
Ling Huashuang looked at her daughter, who had a bruise on her knee but no other injuries.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said firmly, "Alright, let's have the competition at the sacrificial altar first thing tomorrow morning."
"Are you really going to have Yunxi compete?" Xiao Chenzhao stepped forward and asked.
"If you want to enter the Beast Academy, you have to participate in the competition. If you can't even pass the competition, don't even think about entering the academy, and don't even think about having any other ulterior motives!"
"Um, Hua Shuang, what's the competition tomorrow?" Xiao Chenzhao asked, then said shyly, "Give me a hint?"
"You'll know first thing tomorrow morning." Ling Huashuang knew he was trying to help Ling Yunxi cheat, and she didn't intend to tell them.
"Give me a hint," Xiao Chenzhao said ingratiatingly.
“Father, there’s no need to ask anymore. I believe your daughter will definitely pass the test,” Ling Yunxi said.
