  After Xiang Shaoyun and the two women entered the building, wails resounded.

  "Gods, heavens, where is justice in the world? Both my goddesses have been matched with a pile of feces. I can't accept this!"

  "I need to challenge Xiang Shaoyun! I need to prove that he only has the looks but is in fact worth nothing!"

  "That fellow is merely an incompetent fellow who lives off women. I really don't know why he's so lucky."

  "Perhaps he drugged them? Why hadn't they crippled him for doing that?"

  Chapter 823: Conversation Between the Holy Maiden and the Elder

  Yu Caidie accompanied Xiang Shaoyun as they climbed the stairs before tactfully letting go of him. With a gentle smile, she said, "I'll be waiting at 1 Dragon Villa."

  She then quietly walked away.

  Xiang Shaoyun wanted to go with her, but to save face for Tuoba Wan'er, he stood there and replied, "Um, I'll be back soon."

  Tuoba Wan'er did not have the time to do anything about that. She bowed slightly at the elder and said, "Holy Hall's Tuoba Wan'er greets you, lord. I will have to be troubling you during my stay."

  "The Dragon Phoenix Academy is honored to have you as a guest. Please come this way," said the elder with a smile.

  Still holding Xiang Shaoyun's hand, Xiang Shaoyun followed the elder into the main hall. Only Old Urchin stayed with them while the overseers led the others to their accommodations.

  The various observing disciples also scattered. The story of Yu Caidie and Tuoba Wan'er fighting over Xiang Shaoyun spread throughout the academy.

  Once again, Xiang Shaoyun's name filled every nook and corner of the academy. His fame had now reached the level of Baili Yixiao and Zhan Wushuang. Perhaps he might still be weaker than them, but his ability to pick up girls was far above them.

  Anyone would be willing to shed 100 years of lifespan just to obtain one of the two absolute beauties, but Xiang Shaoyun actually had both of them. Furthermore, he didn't seem to be in any serious problem at all! His girl picking prowess was truly legendary.

  As for the Overlord Legion members, they were all filled with excitement at his return. They started gathering at 1 Dragon Villa, awaiting their reunion.

  However, since Yu Caidie was there, many of them were too embarrassed to enter, including people like Tang Longfei. Thus, they ultimately decided to wait until they were summoned.

  When Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the main hall with Tuoba Wan'er, he found all the elders and the principal waiting there. The academy was evidently showing a lot of respect toward this guest.

  As for Old Urchin, he was busy looking left and right, akin to country folk that had just arrived at a big city. One could say that he was behaving embarrassingly.

  "Tsk tsk, worthy of being one of the Four Great Ancient Academies. Just look at these jade seats, these lattice windows, these stone pillars...everything is so high class here," praised Old Urchin. "So, are you guys hiring a principal? Why don't you hire me? It would be fun."

  "Impudent!" berated an elder as those were disrespectful words.

  Tuoba Wan'er quickly said, "Grandpa Urchin, please don't disrespect them."

  Old Urchin laughed dryly and said, "Haha, I was joking! Don't be so serious!"

  The principal, seated on the main seat, smiled and asked, "Is this Senior Old Urchin?"

  "Yes, it's me, Old Urchin. Looks like my name is still quite popular," said Old Urchin smugly.

  "So it's really you, Old Urchin. Back then, did you sneak into our restricted area and was eventually chased away by the grand elder?" shouted the principal.

  Old Urchin's neck shrank as he denied it, "N-no such thing! I, Old Urchin, will never do something so shady! You must have mistaken me for someone else!"

  He might be saying that, but his expression had betrayed the truth.

  "That doesn't matter. We will know after the grand elder personally comes to see you," said the principal.

  Finally, Old Urchin was scared. He looked at Tuoba Wan'er and said, "Young lady, my stomach is suddenly hurting! I'm leaving first, bye!"

  He then quickly slipped away, moving at a speed so fast many of the elders couldn't even react.

  That little episode caused Tuoba Wan'er to feel somewhat awkward. Even so, she still faced the principal calmly and said, "Senior principal, Grandpa Urchin has always been that way. Please forgive him for any wrongdoings he might commit."

  "Hehe, don't worry about it, holy maiden. We won't involve the Holy Hall in this. Today, you're our guest. We naturally need to welcome you properly!" said the principal with an amicable smile.

  Tuoba Wan'er understood that the principal was displaying the generosity of a person in power. Furthermore, Old Urchin probably hadn't committed too serious an offense either. Thus, there was no point in harping on this issue.

  She swiftly assumed her actual role and gave the academy some gifts on behalf of the Holy Hall. The gifts weren't overly expensive, but it was enough to display the Holy Hall's sincerity.

  The principal had someone put the gifts away before asking the holy maiden about the purpose of her visit. He also asked about how Xiang Shaoyun had come to become their holy son-in-law.

  Tuoba Wan'er gave a rough explanation of the excuse they had prepared beforehand. Her main goal here was to personally experience the academy's grandness and then declare that Xiang Shaoyun was her husband.

  Earlier, when Tuoba Wan'er was behaving intimately with Xiang Shaoyun, everyone had already guessed that possibility. Even so, the elders were still filled with astonishment when they heard it from her own mouth. Inwardly, they all thought, What kind of good luck does this kid have? He was actually able to win the holy maiden's favor?

  The principal smiled and said, "Holy maiden, you have good taste. Shaoyun is the first overseer to come out of his batch of disciples. He has a bright future ahead of him. Your choice demonstrates great wisdom."

  "Um, I agree," said Tuoba Wan'er with a nod. "Lord principal, I wish to stay here for some time. I wonder if that's possible?"

  "We never entertained any long-term foreign guests, but since you're Shaoyun's fiancée and the Holy Hall's holy maiden, you can stay here," said the principal. "However, a grand competition between our disciples will be held in a few days. Shaoyun will definitely be participating in it as well. It will take a year to end. I'm afraid you will be lonely waiting here."

  "It's fine. I rarely go out, so I will take the time to look around and expand my horizon. I won't interfere in the holy son-in-law's affairs," said Tuoba Wan'er.

  "Since that is the case, you may take a look around with Shaoyun as your guide. Later in the evening, we will hold the official feast for you. I hope you enjoy your stay here," said the principal.

  After exchanging some more pleasantries, Tuoba Wan'er and Xiang Shaoyun left the hall. The principal did not send anyone as her guide. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was considered a local, so he was perfect as the guide.

  Tuoba Wan'er was naturally happy with that arrangement. After all, the principal had welcomed her grandly, showing her enough respect. If it was any other visitor, the principal might still not personally welcome them even if they were at the Saint Realm.

  Chapter 824: Zhang Feng's Insanity

  Xiang Shaoyun left the hall with Tuoba Wan'er, but he was at a loss about where he should bring her.

  Originally, 1 Dragon Villa would be the most suitable place for him to accommodate her. After a short rest, he could then proceed to show her around and introduce her to his brothers. But with Yu Caidie saying that she would be waiting at 1 Dragon Villa, things were getting thorny.

  Earlier, the smell of gunpowder was thick in the air when the two women met outside the academy. If they met in private, they might even start fighting each other!

  Although Tuoba Wan'er had a higher cultivation level, Yu Caidie was definitely not weak. Their clash would be a clash of the sun and the moon. Xiang Shaoyun had no confidence he could manage their encounter.

  "Husband, y
ou look rather unhappy. Has my arrival brought you trouble?" Tuoba Wan'er asked. She was a sensitive person, and she sensed Xiang Shaoyun's mood.

  Xiang Shaoyun feigned a happy expression and smiled as he said, "Of course not. Look at how many people are jealous of me for having a wife as beautiful as you? I'm afraid I will encounter many new challengers after this."

  "Is that so? But the little sister I saw earlier is pretty outstanding as well," said Tuoba Wan'er, her eyes rippling with jealousy.

  Xiang Shaoyun coughed awkwardly and shifted the topic, "Let's walk around."

  Tuoba Wan'er did not want to make things too hard for him. She gently hugged his arm and said, "In truth, I long guessed that an outstanding man like you would definitely attract a lot of women. If this was in the past, I would definitely return your freedom to you and look for a different man. But I find I have completely fallen for you. I no longer intend to look for a different man. Do you understand?"

  Tuoba Wan'er was completely revealing her true feelings. Xiang Shaoyun's mood improved, as no men would dislike a beauty's affection. However, his emotions were still in a mess because he did not know how to handle his relationship with Yu Caidie.

  Tuoba Wan'er could see Xiang Shaoyun's inner turmoil. In a tactful manner, she said, "Bring me to that little sister you like. I think we need to have a proper talk."

  "I-Is this a good idea?" Xiang Shaoyun asked as he rubbed his nose.

  "Don't worry, I won't bully her. After all, we're already engaged. Unless you plan to betray our engagement, I am not going to let you go," said Tuoba Wan'er, displaying her unyielding side. Xiang Shaoyun looked at her in astonishment, evidently not expecting such behavior from her.

  He sighed and said, "Us being together is a complete coincidence, whereas she and I have been predestined to be together since our previous life. Since all this has happened, allow me to be overbearing and monopolize all of you!"

  As he said that, an aggressive overbearingness erupted from him, his gaze firm. Both women were the best of the best, and since he had the good luck to win their favor, he would not be a hypocrite and allow either of them to escape him.

  Tuoba Wan'er giggled and said, "We shall see how capable you are, then. We still need to see how she thinks about this."

  Xiang Shaoyun really had no idea how Yu Caidie would think. Inwardly, he thought, I will have to face this sooner or later. I might as well face it now.

  And thus, he brought Tuoba Wan'er to his villa. Along the way, many disciples saw the two. Their eyes were filled with envy and hate. Xiang Shaoyun was already used to it, and he ignored them all.

  Some even went as far as confessing their love to Tuoba Wan'er right in front of him, causing him to not know how to react.

  Facing the confessions, Tuoba Wan'er rejected them coldly and tactfully, "Sorry, I am engaged. Thank you for this."

  "He is not worthy of being your husband!" said one confessor resentfully. He pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and shouted, "Xiang Shaoyun, I challenge you to a duel. If you lose, concede this holy maiden to me. I really like her a lot!"

  This particular fellow looked somewhat sloppy, but his strength was not to be underestimated. He was a fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator and was definitely among the top 200 disciples.

  His name was Zhang Feng, and he was somewhat well-known in the academy. He had a wild temperament and had a habit of challenging anyone he found an eyesore. As for the women who had caught his eyes, he would start pestering them endlessly. He was a self-proclaimed Mad Overlord, but others knew him as the Mad Dog.

  The first woman to catch Zhang Feng's eyes was Yu Caidie. He once tried pestering her, but after having a few of his ribs broken, he no longer dared to provoke her. And now, Tuoba Wan'er had caught his eyes. He once again transformed into the Mad Dog, trying to endlessly pester Tuoba Wan'er.

  He also wanted to look for a chance to challenge the self-proclaimed Overlord, Xiang Shaoyun, and see for himself which of them was the actual Overlord.

  "Sorry to tell you this. Both of us like her, but she likes me, not you. Moreover, we are already engaged. The ship has sailed. Get out of our way," said Xiang Shaoyun unrelentingly.

  Although he did not know the person before him, he did not need to waste any time on him. If this fellow continued pushing, he would not hold himself back. This fellow was actually trying to steal his woman right in front of his face? How courageous!

  "So what if you're engaged? Even if you're married, I, Zhang Feng, will still snatch the woman I like," said Zhang Feng, completely revealing his insanity. "I am known as the Mad Overlord, while you are known as the Overlord. Let us have a little competition and see who's the actual overlord!"

  "Let's go, husband. Ignore him," said Tuoba Wan'er with a look of disgust.

  Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, "No rush. He won't hold up too much of our time. You can take this opportunity to see how the disciples here compete against each other." He looked at Zhang Feng and said, "I can agree to the duel, but regardless of the result, I won't concede my fiancée. This is a matter of principle. So long as you defeat me, I will be your follower. And if I win, you will become my follower. Do you dare to take this bet?"

  Xiang Shaoyun displayed his overbearingness, trying to see if Zhang Feng would remain impudent under such pressure. After his feat of attacking Feng Xiaosha's villa and defeating Di Lin, his strength had been proven to be among the top 20 in the academy.

  And yet, this Zhang Feng was actually challenging him without fear. It was unknown if this person was actually confident or just plain insane. Xiang Shaoyun wanted to see if he would still insist on the duel under such a bet.

  Sure enough, after Xiang Shaoyun displayed his domineeringness, Zhang Feng hesitated.

  "Do you dare to accept?" Xiang Shaoyun sneered.

  Chapter 825: This Child Is So Unlucky

  Zhang Feng was mad, but he was no fool. He had just reached fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm not long ago. Even if he was already at mid fifth-stage, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he had a 100 percent chance of defeating Xiang Shaoyun.

  He had been relying on his madness to bolster his overbearingness. Doing so, he would have a greater chance of victory when he fought with his full strength. That had always been his style.

  And here, while he was feigning madness, Xiang Shaoyun seemed even madder than him, directly staking their future in the fight. The loser would become a follower. From that alone, Xiang Shaoyun's confidence was evident.

  Zhang Feng's insanity usually varied from person to person. Since Xiang Shaoyun had exceeded him in terms of madness, it was time for him to avoid Xiang Shaoyun, this sharp sword.

  "I only want the woman, not you," Zhang Feng replied.

  "Afraid already? Get lost," said Xiang Shaoyun with contempt.

  Zhang Feng reflexively took a step backward. When he realized what he did, his face flushed red with anger, and he tightly clenched his fists as if he was going to attack immediately.

  "Husband, I heard that your academy is filled with geniuses of remarkable combat prowess. Why don't you let me witness how strong this person is?" Tuoba Wan'er said as she winked mischievously.

  Xiang Shaoyun understood the meaning of the wink, and he feigned a worried look as he said, "I'm afraid he will hurt you."

  "I'm not that weak!" Tuoba Wan'er said with the tone of a spoiled child. She looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Come. If you can defeat me, I might even divorce my husband and replace him with you."

  Zhang Feng's hope was reignited. He looked at Tuoba Wan'er in excitement and asked, "Are you being serious?"

  "Of course. I have the right to divorce my husband at any time," said Tuoba Wan'er firmly.

  "Excellent. Come, I will demonstrate my prowess to you. You will definitely fall in love with me," said Zhang Feng as he slapped his firm chest.

  To the side, Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly, but that seemed like a smile of desperation in Zhang Feng's eyes.

  Inwardly,
he sneered, Looks like this kid has merely gotten lucky. After showing this chick my strength, she will definitely pick me.

  "Good. So are we going to fight here?" Tuoba Wan'er asked, acting convincingly as an innocent girl that would never scheme.

  "We can do it here. I don't wish to harm you, so we'll have a couple of simple exchanges. That will be enough for me to defeat you," declared Zhang Feng proudly.

  "Good. Here I come, then."

  "Um. Come. You won't be able to harm me," said Zhang Feng. His entire body lit up with a golden radiance as his 55 percent draconic aura surged out. His entire person looked incredibly valiant.

  "So strong. Try taking a palm from me," said Tuoba Wan'er.

  Her tiny palm slowly approached Zhang Feng's chest. Anyone seeing this scene would assume that her palm attack wasn't destructive. However, Xiang Shaoyun believed differently. After all, Tuoba Wan'er had a much higher cultivation level.

  Bang!

  When Tuoba Wan'er's palm landed on Zhang Feng's shining defensive layer, the force behind her palm suddenly shifted, sending out an immensely destructive power that completely destroyed the barrier.

  Zhang Feng instantly felt like he was a tiny boat tossed about by the raging ocean. He was sent flying far away, and a fountain of blood sprayed out of his mouth, dying the sky red.

  Without sparing him another glance, Tuoba Wan'er hugged Xiang Shaoyun's arm again and said, "Let's go, husband."

  Xiang Shaoyun gave Zhang Feng a smile of sympathy as he thought, This child is so unlucky.

  If Zhang Feng had fought him instead, he wouldn't have been beaten up so badly, even if defeat would still be certain. Of course, the degree of injury would depend on how much mercy Xiang Shaoyun decided to show.

  The disciples in the surroundings felt a chill creep up their spine when they saw what happened to Zhang Feng. Inwardly, they thought, This holy maiden is terrifyingly strong!

  They had long known that Xiang Shaoyun was strong and had high requirements for his women. Otherwise, he wouldn't have declared Yu Caidie his woman publicly. But this time, not only was this holy maiden he brought back perfect in terms of looks, but she was also extremely powerful. They couldn't help feeling a sense of admiration toward Xiang Shaoyun.
