Stephen Chow put his arm around Xiao Rou's slender waist, not blaming her for her rash behavior.
After all, he had really messed up this silly rabbit, so now he could only treat her well and take good care of her as compensation.
However, upon hearing Ah Lan's words, Zhou Xingdou smiled, but then asked:
"What about the Pope?"
Ah Lan slowly stood up, placed her delicate hands on Zhou Xingdou's shoulders, and said while massaging his shoulders:
"The Eastern Pope just sent word that she has captured Poseidon alive and is now on her way back to the Martial Hall. She should arrive tomorrow."
While enjoying Ah Lan's massage, Zhou Xingdou pinched Xiao Rou's cheek and nodded in satisfaction.
Now that the Martial Hall has been subdued, there's no way he'd go through the trouble of searching for those beauties on his own.
Zhou Xingdou did not rest during these ten days. He noted down all the beauties he felt could be rated in the Record of Beauties of the Myriad Realms and asked the Martial Hall to find them.
Moreover, I have not yet included Gan Renxue in my collection, and I also want to gather all the beauties I can include in the Myriad Realms Beauty Record.
During this period, he gained a new understanding of the "Record of Beauties from All Realms." The "Record of Beauties from All Realms" does not include only one beauty at a time; as long as conditions permit, there is no limit to the number of beauties included at one time.
Most importantly, the rewards from the included beauties can be stacked, making the rewards even richer.
Zhou Xingdou did this to achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change, hoping to obtain something unexpected, which is better than just getting some useless attributes all the time.
Meanwhile, in a remote valley in the Martial Soul Great Forest, the group from Monster Academy sat on the ground, their faces grim and covered in dust.
No one expected that the Martial Hall would so quickly annex the entire continent, and even the royal families of the two great empires and the Sun Heaven Sect, which had a blood feud with the Martial Hall, chose to submit.
Their little monster academy also suffered a blow. The dean and other teachers were unable to escape. Only Teacher Huolong, Yu Dagang, and the remaining Dai Baihu, Ning Rongrong, and a few others managed to escape.
Ning Rongrong's once bright eyes had become extremely dim. She had never expected that her father would also directly submit to the evil Martial Hall. This caused her faith to collapse, and she barely spoke a few words along the way.
Teacher Huolong also looked pale. The dean and all the teachers had been captured by the Martial Hall in order to help them escape, and their fates were unknown.
This has left her still reeling from the ordeal, even after all the travel she's gone through.
Yu Dagang, that good-for-nothing, was trembling. He was able to escape only because the Dean and Huolong protected him with all their might. Otherwise, with his strength, which was not even as good as that of a student, how could he have escaped alive?
Zhu Youzhu remained as cold as ever, but now she kept a great distance from her fiancé, Dai Baihu, and would show disgust and revulsion if she got even a little closer.
Because she was the first to discover the Martial Hall's surprise attack, she wanted to quickly tell her fiancé, who was catching up with Ma Hongju, but when she hurriedly pushed open the door to the room, she saw a scene that disgusted her for life.
This also made her suddenly understand why her promiscuous fiancé had never touched her in the past five years. She had thought he had changed his ways, but she never expected that he had changed his sexual orientation.
Dai Baihu looked at Zhu Youzhu, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated. However, when he saw Ma Hongju crying because the fate of the dean, who was like a teacher and father to him, was unknown, he finally made his choice.
He no longer cared about worldly opinions, and with his strong arms he pulled Ma Hongju's plump body into his embrace, constantly comforting her softly.
After all, the empire is gone now, so what is the point of talking about the throne? Besides, given the current situation, we might all die one day, so what is there to worry about?
Huolong's mind was already in a mess, and he had no time to deal with Dai Baihu and Ma Hongju's troubles.
Yu Dagang noticed Dai Baihu and Ma Hongju's behavior and shuddered at the sight of their affectionate interaction. He then reassured everyone:
"Don't worry, everyone. This valley is extremely secluded and has plenty of food and water, enough to sustain us for a while."
Hearing Yu Dagang's words, Ning Rongrong sneered:
"What's the use of that? Just loafing around waiting to die? Even my father has submitted. Who can stand against the Martial Hall now?"
Now, under Zhou Xingdou's influence, the Martial Soul Continent no longer has the original Anti-Martial Alliance, and has been unified with almost overwhelming force.
Ning Rongrong was almost in despair. Now she was wondering whether she should return to the Liuli Sect. After all, she didn't need to run away. As long as she went back, she would still be the apple of the Liuli Sect's eye.
Yu Dagang, however, spoke with a firm and impassioned expression:
"And there's my disciple Gou San, the youngest titled Tang Ritian, and countless others oppressed by the Martial Hall."
In his heart, he believed that his disciple Tang Gou San would be able to turn the tide and overthrow the evil rule of the Martial Hall.
Yu Dagang's words immediately ignited a glimmer of light in everyone's eyes. Tang Gou San possessed twin martial souls and extraordinary talent, and the hidden weapons he developed were like divine creations.
In addition, his father was the youngest to receive the title, and with the help of the King of Beasts and the background of the Sun Heaven Sect, there might still be hope.
But at that moment, the fire dragon's expression turned complicated. After sighing, it slowly said:
“I wasn’t planning to say it, but the situation is now a dead end, and there’s no point in keeping it from everyone.”
"While I was clearing the way for you, I saw two corpses in the middle of the Spirit Forest."
A sense of foreboding immediately rose in Yu Dagang's heart, and he hurriedly asked:
Who is it?
The fire dragon couldn't bear it and closed its eyes, saying with a trembling voice:
"Tang Ritian and Tang Gou San!"
Fire Dragon's words were like a bolt from the blue, plunging the crowd, whose confidence had just begun to grow, into an icy abyss.
Yu Dagang's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, his face filled with disbelief and terror.
Ning Rongrong headed straight for the valley exit. She had lost all confidence in resisting the Martial Hall and would rather return to the Glazed Tile School and be her young lady.
Zhu Youzhu also looked dejected, and a sense of desolation arose as she looked at Dai Baihu, who was tightly embracing Ma Hongju.
The world is so vast, yet now there is no place, no person, that belongs to her.
"Impossible...impossible...My disciple is invincible, you must be mistaken."
Yu Dagang kept repeating "Impossible! How could Tang Gousan be dead? How could he die!"
That was proof of his future ability to promote his theories and teaching skills; how could he have died so easily?
Yu Dagang's gaze slowly hardened, and he stubbornly said:
"Yes! You must be mistaken, Fire Dragon. You must be mistaken."
But just as Huolong was about to explain and persuade Yu Dagang, Ning Rongrong, who had left from the valley, retreated with a look of shock on her face.
Then a clear, sweet voice rang out:
“My godmother wasn’t mistaken, Tang Gou San is indeed dead, and he died at my hands.”
(It'll probably only be two chapters, then it'll return to the main storyline.)
