Protect Our Chief

"Keep your eyes set far ahead and don’t only focus on the immediate gains and losses."

"Hehe~" Emperor Yuanyou sneered incessantly, "Sounds good, but what if you don’t get it? When the time comes, can we just walk away and file a complaint at the True Demon Hall?"

"Insolent!"

Blood Child Demon Monarch opened his pale eyes.

A terrifying blood-colored energy rose, transforming instantly into a dreadful pressure that weighed heavily upon Emperor Yuanyou.

Emperor Yuanyou trembled all over, feeling as if he were trapped in a hellish blood river, with endless evil thoughts surging towards him, abruptly stopping his next words.

"Hehehe~ Such boldness, daring to haggle over orders from the True Demon Hall." Blood Child Demon Monarch laughed wildly, a tyrannical and ruthless aura emanating naturally, "Do you think I’m negotiating with you? Or do you think I dare not kill you, this emperor?"

Emperor Yuanyou’s face turned pale, trembling uncontrollably.

Since advancing to the Lingxu Realm, this was the first time he felt a genuine mortal threat.

He was used to sparring with Yin Sha Demon Monarch Qee Hongzhao, although knowing Blood Child Demon Monarch was strong, he didn’t have a precise concept. Only now did he realize that even though both sides were in the Lingxu Realm, Blood Child Demon Monarch’s power was still sufficient to easily crush him or even kill him.

"Master Blood Child, please calm your anger." Emperor Yanqing and Qee Hongzhao both stood, bowing to plead, "Yuanyou is young and impulsive, unaware of your great name. We are willing to follow your will."

"Hmph!"

Only then did Blood Child Demon Monarch retract the overwhelming blood-colored demonic Qi.

"Cough cough~"

Emperor Yuanyou staggered back a few steps, his face ashen, no longer daring to meet Blood Child Demon Monarch’s gaze. He had never seen such a terrifying existence.

It was only at this moment that Blood Child Demon Monarch’s expression softened slightly: "Hongzhao, Yanqing, I am not unreasonable. If this succeeds, the benefits will naturally be abundant, enough to make your two countries grow stronger. If not, I will compensate for your losses."

"Thank you, Demon Monarch." The three all bowed, "We will do our utmost to assist the Demon Monarch in completing the True Demon Hall’s task."

"Hahaha~ Good!" Blood Child Demon Monarch felt a surge of joy and couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Once I reach that step, you will all be credited, and the territory of East Qian and Lingyun Sacred Land will be yours."

His arrogant laughter echoed within the Yin Sha Saint Hall, lingering without end.

...

Meanwhile.

In Lingyun Sacred Land, within Cyan Emperor Valley, Yoongchun Garden.

In a picturesque, spiritually abundant garden, there was a delicately carved pavilion.

Inside the pavilion were some tables, chairs, and stationary.

The foolish Wang Ningxi was earnestly organizing some textbooks and educational materials, seriously preparing lessons. At the behest of his Ancestor Grandfather, he was ready to tutor these academic stragglers.

A peculiar group of students was already seated at desks below.

Among them were Wang Ningxi’s future wife Shangguan Lingbo, Ancestral Grandmother Wang Lici who had wandered away and now just returned, Wang Lici’s close friends Lan Wan’er, a sapling avatar of Ancestral Grandmother Lixian, a mutated Little Green Serpent, and Yao Chengchao from Yao Air Transport.

Yao Chengchao’s demeanor was the least fitting of a student. After all, he was a seasoned old scoundrel with no trace of genuine student qualities.

As for Shangguan Lingbo, she was there to support her future husband’s career.

She gazed at Wang Ningxi without blinking, her eyes slightly gleaming. Indeed, a serious man is most appealing.

"I protest, I protest." The avatar’s branches of Wang Lixian waved wildly, her voice childlike as she loudly protested, "My other avatar is attending school in the Clan Academy, why must I learn twice?"

As she matured, the babbling sounds in her speech had diminished significantly, indicating her mental growth had surpassed that of an average seven or eight-year-old girl just entering the Clan Academy.

"Ancestral Grandmother." Wang Ningxi frowned slightly, "You’ve been attending the Clan Academy for fifty or sixty years now, sending off batch after batch of classmates... and yet you can’t even pass basic mathematics, which is unreasonable. Ancestor Grandfather said both avatars should study together; perhaps they can grow faster."

As for Lan Wan’er, she was dragged along by Lici for companionship. They were all good sisters whose lives were mutually entrusted; sharing joys meant sharing hardships too.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I arranged some test papers overnight, especially focusing on the foundational subject of mathematics." Wang Ningxi held up a stack of papers and said, "These papers vary in difficulty, perfect for assessing everyone’s abilities so I can teach accordingly."

"Brat, I’m already over two hundred sixty years old." Eldest Young Master Yao looked amusedly at Wang Ningxi, not at all seeing what this wet-behind-the-ears kid could teach him, "I’m here on behalf of your Patriarch Shouzhe to reluctantly learn a bit. I’ll just listen in on moral and legal studies."

"As for mathematics? Isn’t it just the Nine Chapters of Mathematics’ sort? I scoff. Surely, you’ve heard how I’ve earned the name ’Quick-sword Yao’?"

"In any case, don’t look at me with a literate’s contempt. The Yao Family has a Clan Academy too. And back then, my performance in the Yao Family’s Clan Academy wasn’t bad; I’m quite literate and excellent in business, so don’t underestimate me."

"Oh." Wang Ningxi remained noncommittal, drawing out a test paper, "Since Eldest Young Master Yao is literate, why not try a math paper? A perfect score is a hundred, over sixty is considered literate, then you won’t need to attend math classes anymore~"

"Kid, let me show you my mastery of the Nine Chapters of Mathematics... Let you understand why I’m called ’Quick-sword Yao.’" Yao Chengchao’s face was full of pride as he picked up a test paper, disdainfully glancing at it.

Then, his expression turned serious.

Then, sweat dripped from his forehead.

Then, his face grew paler, his body convulsing.

After half a stick of incense.

"Bang!"

Yao Chengchao slammed the paper on the desk, furiously shouting, "So what if I’m illiterate? Wuwu~ I can still do business until now without being literate. Wuwuwuwuwu~~"

Poor Yao Chengchao, such a grown man, was begrudged into crying.
