Zhihao's Mansion.
The three of them, Zhihao, Ma Dong, and Ying Mai started to recover their Spiritual Energy through the Spiritual Stones.
Ying Mai and Ma Dong finished their recovery using half of the High-Grade Spiritual Stones, while Zhihao had already finished his 5th one and already draining the 6th stone.
When the 6th stone was about to be drained, Zhihao opened his eyes and threw the tiny bit of the Spiritual Stone to the table.
Zhihao then spoke to the both of them.
"Ma Dong, Ying Mai, we should rest, for now, once we wake up tomorrow, we'll start everything from there on."
Ma Dong and Ying Mai immediately replied.
"Yes, Master."
Ma Dong immediately walked out of the room and went to pick his.
Zhihao then went to the table as he pondered about something. but just when he's about to enter his mind to search for the System's functions, he heard a sound coming from his bed.
Zhihao looked at the bed as he saw Ying Mai lying in his bed, pretending to sleep.
Zhihao looked at Ying Mai as he spoke.
"What are you doing?"
Ying Mai chuckled as she replied: "I`m doing whatever I can."
Zhihao didn't know what to do as he spoke.
"I`ll change room then, you can have this one."
Ying Mai looked at Zhihao as she replied: "Thanks!"
Zhihao stood up as he prepares to leave, then he saw Ying Mai standing up as she then, prepared to follow him.
Zhihao tilted his head and spoke: "Now, what are you doing?"
Ying Mai smiled at Zhihao's question and replied: "I want to sleep in the same room and bed with you."
Zhihao sighed and spoke: "We aren't even Married yet, so we can't really do that right?"
Ying Mai heard Zhihao's word and replied: "Oh! Yet? So I can marry you sometime in the future Master?"
Zhihao sighed as he gave up and spoke: "Okay, I`ll sleep here, but no touching, Okay?"
Zhihao sighed as he went to the other side of the bed and laid himself in it.
Ying Mai smiled as she also went to the other side of the bed, she then stared at Zhihao's face while laying there.
Zhihao asked again: "What are you doing now?"
"Not touching you." Ying Mai replied with a very innocent and lovely face.
Zhihao sighed as he closed his eyes and started to sleep, after a few hours, Ying Mai noticed that Zhihao had really fallen asleep.
Ying Mai started to talk to herself.
"I`m sorry Master, I really Am in love with you, and I don't know why too, you might be annoyed with me in the future, but this is the only selfishness that I won't give up, no matter what."
Ying Mai then laid in the other end of the bed, and after a few minutes, finally fell asleep.
Zhihao then opened his eyes as he thought of every word Ying Mai had spoken, the word Ying Mai had spoken reached to his heart this time as he felt really bad for leaving Ying Mai hanging, he could only do two things, either stand his ground and reject Ying Mai or accept her feelings.
After a while, Zhihao fell asleep while carrying the thoughts inside his head.
...
Morning came as Zhihao woke up from his sleep, and what he saw first is Ying Mai's beautiful face, sleeping soundlessly.
Zhihao sighed as he stood up from the bed and immediately headed towards the Guest room.
Ma Dong is done preparing their breakfast and is already waiting there,
Zhihao spoke to Ma Dong he spoke: "Call Ying Mai first, then we'll eat."
Before Ma Dong could speak, Ying Mai walked down the stairs as she spoke.
"Master, No need, I`m already here."
Zhihao nodded and continued.
"Let us eat."
The three of them ate very slowly as they don't want to have a messy table afterward.
After an hour of Eating, Zhihao looked at Ying Mai as he sighed.
Zhihao then looked at Ma Dong as he spoke: "Ma Dong, go and check the requirements to enter the Academy."
Ma Dong immediately nodded as he replied: "Yes Master!"
After replying, Ma Dong immediately flew out of the Sky.
Zhihao then stopped him and spoke: "Ma Dong, don't fly when you return, try to purchase a carriage, we should conserve our Spiritual Energy within this world."
After speaking, Zhihao threw a bag full of Spiritual Stones to Ma Dong and Ying Mai, containing 700 High-Grade Spiritual Stones in them.
Zhihao then spoke: "I still have 2,000 pieces here, but we will be staying here for 50 years and we need to conserve as much as we can."
Zhihao still have millions of Low-Grade Spiritual stones and Mid-Grade Spiritual Stones, but they are too little compared to the High-Grade Spiritual Stones, and it will take longer to use them, so he had decided to save them for now.
Ma Dong nodded as he replied: "Yes Master."
Ma Dong flew faster towards the Sacred Moonlight Kingdom and descended when he's almost at the gates.
Ma Dong asked around for all the locations of the Academies, and immediately, after just a few minutes, he found all 24 Locations of the Academies.
Ma Dong quickly went there one by one asking for their Requirements, and as such, due to the slow phase of walking, Ma Dong finished everything after 4 hours of going back and forth.
Ma Dong then quickly came back to Zhihao's Mansion to report.
After a while, Ma Dong finally came back to Zhihao as he reported.
"Master, every Academy I had gone through had a very clear and stable requirement."
Zhihao nodded then let Ma Dong continue.
"It is that the one who wants to be enrolled needs to be in the age between 16 and 20."
Zhihao nodded at his words and looked around, A 68-year-old Man, and a 142-year-old woman.
Zhihao then thought inside his head as he purchased something in the Store that Arthariaz had left behind.
Zhihao then looked at them as he withdrew two types of pills and 6 of them in total.
Zhihao threw the pills as he spoke.
"The Red one is a Bone Structural Pill, while the White one is an Age Reversing pill, it would make you both look like you when you were 18 years old, Take the Age Reversing pill first, before taking the Bone Structural Pill second, but those will make you look like 18 years old forever, I have a Pill that can dissolve those effects so don't worry."
Ma Dong and Ying Mai nodded as they swallowed the pill.
Their bodies had shrunk as their features started to turn from once they were young, although they had started to stop aging when they reached Divine Realm lower stage, they were already aged before that had happened.
Ying Mai was already 26 years old at that time hence, she still returned to her beauty when she was 18 years old.
"Urg..."
Unlike Zhihao's transformation, they only felt small discomforts from the Age Reversing Pill as they calmed down.
Ma Dong feature shocked Zhihao after the bones showing from his face immediately returned inside his face, and his body turning slimmer, Ma Dong became really handsome, but not as handsome as Zhihao's face, he is the MC so he needed to be more handsome than anyone.
Zhihao snickered as he jokingly spoke: "Ma Dong, didn't think you were such a lady killer before."
Ma Dong bowed as he replied: "Master, you jest, I was not like that at all, in fact, you are the most suitable to be called like that."
Zhihao laughed together with Ma Dong, as they heard another voice.
"Master."
Zhihao looked behind as he saw Ying Mai standing there, blushing a little as she gently smiled at Zhihao.
Ying Mai looked very gorgeous, and the way she smiled took the breath out of Zhihao in an instant, her fiery red hair flowing back to her knee, gracefully swinging as the air blew past it, her jade-white soft skin that could melt any men that she touched was lustering, her beautiful eyes that can make any Men fall in love with her, and what took Zhihao the most is the very innocent feeling he received while looking at Ying Mai.
Comparing with Verushka, Ning'er, and Xiao'er, Ying Mai's beauty is slightly above the rest.
Zhihao then woke up from his daze and spoke: "So, you were that beautiful."
Ying Mai blushed a little as she evaded Zhihao's gaze, smiling with satisfaction, silence, extreme silence after that.
Ma Dong then interrupted as he spoke: "Ahem, Let us go to the Academy to enroll, I`ll drive the Carriage to the entrance."
Zhihao smiled at Ma Dong and replied: "Go on, we'll enroll today."
