Chapter 1243 - 1243 Untitled
1243 Untitled
As the three of them stood in the middle of the path, they attracted the attention of many people.
Beatrice and Feng Yuncheng had been inseparable for the past two days. Anyone with eyes could tell that they were a couple. On the day the finals ended, Sheng Xiao had announced in public that he and Yu Huang were husband and wife.
Therefore, when they saw Yu Huang holding Feng Yuncheng’s face affectionately with both hands while Beatrice, Feng Yuncheng’s girlfriend, stood at the side, the new students were instantly interested.
What kind of relationship did these four people have?
Yu Huang was already holding Feng Yuncheng’s face with her hand. Why wasn’t Beatrice angry?
Wasn’t Yu Huang afraid that Sheng Xiao would fly into a rage when he found out?
Yu Huang’s current cultivation level had already reached the peak of the late-stage Supreme Master Realm, so she could hear the thoughts of many new students. Therefore, when these new students were wondering about it, Yu Huang couldn’t help but hear many noisy voices.
Only then did she realize that this position was a little ambiguous.
Yu Huang hurriedly blocked out the mind-reading function and let go of Feng Yuncheng’s face. Then, she smiled at Beatrice and said, “I’m sorry, Beatrice.”
Beatrice shook her head magnanimously.
She knew better than anyone how platonic the relationship between Yu Huang and Feng Yuncheng was. She also knew how loyal Feng Yuncheng was to her. Naturally, she wouldn’t let her imagination run wild. It was just that…
Beatrice walked to Yu Huang’s side with a dark expression and held her arm. Then, they walked towards the reporting building while Feng Yuncheng followed behind them like a knight.
Beatrice asked Yu Huang in a low voice, “Is ‘it’ related to Feng Yuncheng?”
Feng Yuncheng also pricked up his ears to hear Yu Huang’s answer.
Yu Huang didn’t hide it from them. She said, “In the replication world, his appearance looked 60 to 70% similar to Yuncheng’s. I think he deliberately transformed into Yuncheng’s appearance to trick me into suspecting Yuncheng and to sow discord between us.”
However, Yu Huang wasn’t a fool.
“But I’m not stupid.” Yu Huang shrugged and turned around to look at Feng Yuncheng, who was following behind her, as she said, “I know my friend’s character very well, so how could I be deceived by the illusion it created? When I exposed that it was a Bewitching Butterfly, it became a little angry and said that Yuncheng would eventually lose control, because it was the same as Yuncheng, it had the Light of Divinity and the Light of Slaughter at the same time. When the Light of Divinity dominated its thoughts, it was benevolent. However, when its energy weakened and it was about to disappear, the Light of Slaughter would awaken on its own. At this time, it would lose its Light of Divinity and awaken its demonic nature.”
“He told me that sooner or later, Yuncheng would become like him and be controlled by his evil nature, but I told him that Yuncheng was different from it.”
Feng Yuncheng asked softly, “How am I different?”
Yu Huang turned around and looked at him with a gentle gaze as she said, “I told it that it has nothing except strength, while you have us and Cuisi. I told it that I believe in our friendship and your character. I firmly believe that when you discover that you have lost control of your energy, you will definitely take the initiative to ask us for help and we will definitely kill you before you become a demon.”
Beatrice’s gaze became pained when she heard this, but Feng Yuncheng took off his eyeglasses.
He smiled as he lamented, “Well done, Yu Huang.”
Seeing that Beatrice was about to cry, Feng Yuncheng’s smile gradually disappeared. “Beatrice, promise me that if I really lose control of my energy one day, I will die in your hands.”
Beatrice widened her eyes, clearly baffled by Feng Yuncheng’s request.
Yu Huang instantly guessed Feng Yuncheng’s thoughts.
She couldn’t bear to watch anymore, so she looked away and lowered her head to play with the foxtail grass. Her heart ached.
Beatrice asked hoarsely, “Why?”
Feng Yuncheng smiled bitterly and said, “If I die in the hands of Yu Huang and the others, even if you don’t resent them or blame them, you will definitely distance yourself from them because of this, but I can’t bear for you to be all alone.”
“If you kill me, Yu Huang and the others definitely won’t distance themselves from you. They will guard you on my behalf. Therefore, you have to be the person who draws the sword.” After Feng Yuncheng walked forward and gently caressed Beatrice’s charming face, he couldn’t help but kiss the corner of Beatrice’s lips. Then, he leaned against her and muttered softly, “Your Highness, promise me.”
Beatrice clenched her fists silently.
She said, “Okay, I promise you.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuncheng was completely relieved.
He smiled at Yu Huang and said, “In that case, I’m relieved.” Even if he really lost control one day, he would be able to leave in peace.
Yu Huang moped for a while before she pulled herself together. As she stood in the middle, she hugged Feng Yuncheng’s shoulder with one hand and Beatrice’s shoulder with the other.
Patting their shoulders, Yu Huang said with a smile, “Let’s not be so sad. Even if that day comes, there’s nothing to regret. We’ve loved the most worthy people, made the best friends, eaten the most delicious food, and drunk the most amazing wine.”
“This trip to the human world was exciting, so there are no regrets.”
Beatrice smiled in relief. Feng Yuncheng shook his head solemnly and said, “I have regrets.”
Yu Huang and Beatrice looked at Feng Yuncheng.
Feng Yuncheng smiled slyly and said, “I’m still a virgin.” Feng Yuncheng smiled at Beatrice and asked, “Your Highness, when are you planning to let me be a man?”
Beatrice was speechless.
Yu Huang suddenly let go of their shoulders and silently quickened her pace before walking to the front.
Yu Huang was the first to arrive at the reporting building, so she stood in front of the stairs outside the building and waited for a while. She saw Beatrice holding Feng Yuncheng’s hand while walking towards her. When they arrived, Beatrice said to Yu Huang, “Yu Huang, let’s rent a villa together.”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows. “Sure.”

When the three of them arrived at Hall 1 of the reporting building, the hall was already packed.
Hall 1 of the reporting building was designed to look like a Roman Bestial Battle Arena. The students sat around the circular viewing platform, and in the middle of the hall, there was a circular podium. The person in charge of the Sorting Ceremony was the dean of the outer academy, and everyone addressed her respectfully as Prime Emperor Black Steel.
Prime Emperor Black Steel was actually a woman.
Her beast form was a black sword. After becoming a Prime Master, she gave herself the title of ‘Black Steel’.
Prime Emperor Black Steel looked very young and was only about 30 years old. She had an androgynous face and was wearing a black suit with a deep V-neck that revealed her voluptuous cleavage. Her short white curly hair gave her a casual look, but every strand of her hair was flamboyant.
As Prime Emperor Black Steel stood beside the Beast Testing Stone, her cold voice spread throughout the entire Hall 1. “Although you have all been tested by the Beast Testing Stone when you participated in the screening test, in order to understand your potential more fully, you need to undergo another Beast Testing Stone test. Previously, you have already passed the 38th test before entering the school, and you have all obtained good results. After this test, students with S-rank potential defined by the Beast Testing Stone will directly be sent to the inner academy to study.”
Hearing this, there was a commotion.
Clearly, some people were unconvinced.
A female cultivator stood up and questioned Black Steel Prime Emperor loudly, “Dean, isn’t it very unfair to be able to enter the inner academy to study just by being evaluated by the Beast Testing Stone as S-rank potential?! All the new students present are Beast Tamers who have successfully obtained the right to enter the school after many battles. There shouldn’t be exceptions!”
This cultivator’s words were what many other freshmen wanted to say.
Hearing this, Black Steel Prime Emperor only said, “The Cang Lang Academy has been established for 12,000 years. In these 12,000 years, there is only one person who has received an S-rank evaluation, and this person is the number one expert in the Central Continent, Madam Brulee.”
With that, she looked around at the students below the stage and asked the woman who had asked the question earlier loudly, “May I ask if you have any objections?!”
When the female cultivator heard this, she was instantly speechless.
She shook her head and said with a blush, “No.”
After she sat down, the students below the stage started discussing in low voices again.
Yu Huang heard them say—
“So Madam Brulee is a Beast Tamer with S-rank potential. I heard that she was once in the same class as Prime Emperor Jiu Xiao. Even Prime Emperor Jiu Xiao wasn’t evaluated as having S-rank potential by the Beast Testing Stone, but Madam Brulee obtained it. How impressive.”
