Ah Yin recalled her earlier promises. Though she had indeed agreed, the humiliation she faced now made her reluctant to comply. After all, she was a queen in her own right!
But Yun Feng, ever perceptive, immediately guessed her thoughts and cut her off before she could speak.
"If you dare refuse me, you already know the extent of my power and methods. You've experienced it firsthand. As for Tang San—what he might become, I can't guarantee."
Hearing Yun Feng's cold words, Ah Yin panicked. How could she not know the sinister power Yun Feng wielded?
After all, she was under his control because of it!
If Yun Feng extended that control to Tang San, would her son even remain himself?
Ah Yin didn't know, but she didn't dare to take that gamble. Her heart sank, and with no other options, she lowered her head, knelt on the ground, forced a smile onto her face, and slightly opened her lips, letting her tongue slip out.
"Ss-ha, ss-ha... Master, I am your little female dog..."
Seeing Ah Yin in this state, one could only imagine Tang Hao's reaction if he ever learned of this. Yun Feng, however, couldn't care less.
"See? If you had done this earlier, things would have been much easier."
"I've been busy cultivating these days and feel a bit tired. Serve me. You should know how to do that, right?"
Ah Yin's tear-filled eyes betrayed her helplessness and frustration. She knew exactly what Yun Feng meant.
But what choice did she have?
Though she had achieved her human form, it was only possible with Yun Feng's help. Her strength hadn't yet caught up to her transformation.
Even if she wanted to resist, she simply couldn't.
Slowly, using both her hands and feet, she crawled to Yun Feng's feet and began licking them.
The night was shrouded in mist, the sky veiled by thin clouds that obscured the moonlight. The darkness, softened by the haze, lent the night an ethereal beauty.
By the time Yun Feng had finished, the first rays of dawn had begun to color the horizon.
Tang San silently left the dormitory.
Leaping onto a rooftop with practiced ease, he nearly lost his balance this time.
He hadn't expected someone to already be there, sitting quietly, their piercing gaze fixed on him.
At dawn, people tend to be less guarded, and Tang San was no exception. Startled, he froze for a moment.
The figure on the roof grabbed Tang San by the shoulder and pulled him into a seated position beside them, gesturing for silence with a finger.
After his initial shock, Tang San frowned as he recognized the person—it was Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San's suspicion deepened. He had long suspected that the strange ailment plaguing him had something to do with Yu Xiaogang.
Before attending Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy, he had been perfectly fine. But after arriving, everything had changed.
These past days had been grueling.
If not for the stipends from the Spirit Hall allowing him to purchase various animal blood samples to sate his affliction, he might have gone insane.
So, seeing Yu Xiaogang again didn't bring him joy; rather, it darkened his mood.
Still, Tang San knew it wasn't the time to confront him. He also knew Yu Xiaogang had been searching for a solution to their shared problem.
Forcing himself to take a deep breath, Tang San managed a forced smile.
"Teacher, when did you arrive?"
Yu Xiaogang instinctively reached out to pat Tang San's head, but Tang San subtly avoided the gesture.
Yu Xiaogang didn't dwell on the rejection, withdrawing his hand and looking dazed.
"I told you I would come find you."
"What I didn't expect was that during this time, you've made no progress at all."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was heavy with disappointment, leaving Tang San feeling suffocated.
Did he think Tang San didn't want to improve? Didn't want to increase his spirit power?
The problem was the ailment, its bloodlust, its damage to his foundation, and the sheer physical exhaustion it brought.
Maintaining his current level of spirit power had already pushed him to his limits.
If not for the all-encompassing nature of his Mysterious Heaven Technique, he might have already given up on cultivation.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's irritation boiled over.
"Teacher, you're suffering from the same affliction. Don't you know how painful the episodes are?"
"All you do is blame me?"
"Is that really what a teacher should do?"
Tang San's pointed questions left Yu Xiaogang momentarily speechless.
Compared to Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's condition was worse. Without the Mysterious Heaven Technique or innate full spirit power, his abilities had plummeted from level 29 to level 20.
Now, he could barely hold onto level 20. His second spirit ring was close to shattering entirely.
Hearing Tang San's accusations, Yu Xiaogang felt a crack in his composure but forced himself to stay calm.
After all, he still hoped Tang Hao could find a cure for their shared affliction.
"Tang San, I'm sorry. That was inconsiderate of me."
"But don't worry. I'll definitely find a solution for this."
"As for your spirit power growth, you don't need to worry. With your innate full spirit power and dual spirits, even the smallest progress will secure your bright future."
Tang San softened slightly at Yu Xiaogang's apology and reassurance, but an inexplicable heaviness remained in his heart.
Little did he know that not far away, his long-lost mother was enduring unspeakable humiliation—all for his sake.
By the time Tang San and Yu Xiaogang returned to Shrek Academy, the sun had risen high in the sky. The two talked at length, their conversation seemingly close and intimate, yet their hearts now carried hidden rifts.
"Tang San, go have breakfast. Starting today, I'll prepare a new training schedule for you. Your talent won't go to waste."
Tang San looked up at Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, are you leaving?"
To Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's new plan seemed like an excuse to run away.
Frustration bubbled in his chest.
Yu Xiaogang, however, hadn't considered that possibility. He was entirely fixated on uncovering the method behind Yun Feng's second martial soul awakening.
After all, Yun Feng was half a disciple to him, even if Yun Feng didn't acknowledge it. Yu Xiaogang firmly believed that persistence could move even the hardest hearts.
It had worked on the two women he had pursued—why not on a young man?
"Don't worry, Tang San. I'm not leaving. Our affliction still hasn't been resolved. If something goes wrong, it could be fatal. I have no choice but to stay."
