Chapter 29: Whose Fault is it to Like Snakes?

That night, Dugu Bo brought the recommendation letter from the Royal Academy of Tian Dou.

To be precise.

When Dugu Bo stood in front of the three Soul Masters Committee members of the Royal Academy of Tian Dou, those three members were eager to bring Jiang Jie to the Royal Academy of Tian Dou overnight.

At first, when they learned that Jiang Jie was only seven years old, the three committee members refused. Bai Baoshan even tactfully suggested that seven was still too young and recommended going to the Junior Soul Master Academy first.

However, when Dugu Bo mentioned that Jiang Jie had already reached the level of a Senior Soul Master, and even had a second soul ring after a Millennium Soul Ring, the three members agreed to it without hesitation, and quickly drafted an invitation letter for admission.

A seven-year-old Senior Soul Master!

For the first time, the three Soul Masters Committee members felt that their worldview had been severely challenged.

Normally, even for a genius with full innate soul power, breaking through one level in four or five months at the Soul Master stage is considered normal. Even if they break through one level in four months, it would take at least a year to reach Senior Soul Master level. Jiang Jie’s speed of cultivation to Senior Soul Master at the age of seven was unheard of, considering they had taught so many students.

Who wouldn’t want to teach a few more geniuses if they were running an academy?

As for the possibility of Dugu Bo playing them, the three committee members had the thought fleeting through their minds but quickly dismissed it.

That would be ridiculous.

Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, playing tricks on three old guys like themselves in such matters?

When Dugu Bo first arrived, the three committee members maintained a stern and indifferent demeanor. However, when Dugu Bo left, all three of them had blossoming smiles on their faces as they respectfully escorted him out of the Royal Academy of Tian Dou.

“I preferred your previous unruly demeanor, you three old guys. Remember to restore it next time.”

Dugu Bo’s parting words left the three Soul Masters Committee members chuckling wryly.

The next day.

Just as dawn broke, Dugu Yan skillfully opened Jiang Jie’s door and quietly entered the room.

Seeing Jiang Jie still sound asleep in bed, Dugu Yan flashed a mischievous smile and pounced directly onto him.

“Little brother, wake up! We’re going to the Royal Academy of Tian Dou for school~” Dugu Yan hugged Jiang Jie through the blanket, her dewy red lips close to Jiang Jie’s ear, exhaling with a fragrant breath.

Jiang Jie had already noticed her arrival when Dugu Yan opened the door. He pretended to be asleep when he heard the crisp sound of high heels, knowing it was Dugu Yan. But he didn’t expect Dugu Yan to pounce directly onto his bed, which startled him a bit.

“Okay, okay, Yanzi, you get up first. I can’t leave like this!” Jiang Jie reluctantly yawned, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Dugu Yan propped herself up on Jiang Jie’s chest and blinked playfully at him. “Then Sister will wait for you outside. Don’t keep Sister waiting too long~”

Testing the cadre so early in the morning?!

Which cadre…

Forget it, he couldn’t withstand the test, so he might as well punish the snake demon!

Jiang Jie jumped up and pressed Dugu Yan onto the bed, his hands skillfully tickling her waist, making Dugu Yan laugh breathlessly.

Someone… is ticklish!

“Giggling~ Little brother… let Sister go!” Dugu Yan’s soft body kept twisting, trying to evade Jiang Jie’s mischievous hands, but her physical agility was no match for Jiang Jie’s, so she couldn’t break free at all.

“Alright, you dare to resist!” Jiang Jie tickled even harder.

It had to be said, the flexibility of snakes is really good, even for snake girls!

Jiang Jie missed a grip, and Dugu Yan managed to escape, disheveled and panting, glaring at him.

The vast expanse of snow-white directly stunned Jiang Jie’s eyes.

“Do you like what you see?” Dugu Yan asked calmly as she straightened her clothes, her tone faintly teasing.

Jiang Jie subconsciously nodded.

“It’s beautiful!”

“Just looking is not enough. You’re making me mad. Humph~” Dugu Yan’s tone shifted playfully as she made a mischievous face, giggling, then left Jiang Jie in the room.

Jiang Jie, dumbfounded, glanced at his motionless younger brother, feeling like a salted fish, and got up to wash and dress.

No way!

Even though Jiang Jie was experienced, his age didn’t allow him to engage in some joyful activities…

“No, I have to solve this problem quickly!” Jiang Jie thought fiercely, searching his mind for something helpful to his body.

In the end, his thoughts settled on two words.

Whale Gel!

This stuff not only improves physical strength, greatly extending the lifespan of one’s soul rings, but also has the effect of pure yang nourishment!

Definitely capable of making himself soar in cultivation!

“That’s settled then. Master has nothing better to do anyway. I’ll have him get more Whale Gel for his precious disciple!” Jiang Jie grinned, almost mimicking the voice of the elders of the Soul Temple.

But Jiang Jie was also curious. He wasn’t the kind of person who couldn’t resist women walking down the road, so why was his resistance to Dugu Yan so low?

Jiang Jie just lowered his head and glanced at his hands, immediately dispelling this doubt.

Laughable.

As the inheritor of the Demon God Chonglou, what’s wrong with liking snakes?

Chonglou himself couldn’t forget about Zixuan, so as his successor, Jiang Jie’s lack of resistance to Dugu Yan must also be attributed to Chonglou himself.

Yes, it’s all because of him!

If it weren’t for him, Jiang Jie definitely wouldn’t be so persistent about Dugu Yan (who is also a descendant of Nuwa, a snake woman)! It’s definitely not because he’s lecherous!

“Chonglou: You’re talking nonsense!”

With his doubts resolved, Jiang Jie’s mood improved greatly as he hummed a tune and left the room. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan had already prepared a table full of breakfast and sat quietly at the table, awaiting Jiang Jie’s arrival.

At this moment, under the morning sun, she exuded none of her usual captivating allure. Instead, she carried a faint sense of serene mystique, adding to the tranquility of the morning.

However, this serene beauty was shattered the moment she laid eyes on Jiang Jie.

“Little brother~ Come and eat!” Dugu Yan smiled sweetly, waving to Jiang Jie.

“Yanzi, I still prefer the way you look when you don’t speak.” Jiang Jie’s forehead visibly developed a few black lines as he sat across from Dugu Yan, speechless.

Dugu Yan pitifully clasped her hands together, looking aggrieved. “Does little brother really dislike Sister so much? Alright, perhaps Sister was too abrupt. If so, then it’s Sister’s fault~”

“Sob sob sob…”

Sob your sister!

Jiang Jie was left speechless.

Who taught Dugu Yan such exceptional tea skills?!
