C.829: Illegitimate Child?
TL : BluVerse

“I mean, that little fellow couldn’t be your illegitimate child, right? Why do you like him so much that you can even postpone the concert and write a new song for him?” Le Qingling said, slightly reproachful.

“Illegitimate child? Don’t talk nonsense,” Tang Le replied with helplessness, but for some reason, when he heard the words “illegitimate child,” his heart suddenly had a ripple-like sensation.

How could he not feel the similarities between Lan Xuanyu and himself? It’s just that they were not entirely the same. Besides the resemblances, there seemed to be a conflicting aura between them.

No matter what, every time he saw Lan Xuanyu, he felt indescribable affection. It was the kind of feeling that made him willing to do anything for him without hesitation.

This was true from the first time he saw him, and it was even more so now.

Over a decade had passed, and Lan Xuanyu had grown up gradually, and they had become more familiar with each other. For Tang Le, this seemed to be one of his few attachments.

Noticing Tang Le’s silence, Le Qingling widened her eyes and said, “Could it be true? I increasingly feel that he looks a bit like you. He’s even more handsome than you. Honestly, did something happen between you in the past?”

“That’s enough. Arrange the fastest spacecraft for me; I’m leaving,” Tang Le suddenly said restlessly.

Le Qingling was taken aback. For so many years, Tang Le had always been gentle and composed, as if he never had a temper. Even when he showed some firmness, his emotions didn’t change much. It was the first time she had seen him so anxious.

Could it be that the child really is?

Le Qingling glanced at him deeply, refrained from saying anything more, and immediately went out to make arrangements. However, a tinge of sourness spread in her heart.

At this time, Lan Xuanyu had already returned to Shrek Academy.

He realized a problem now; Mister Le had made an appointment with him three days later, and Nana also arranged to meet him three days later. So, should he learn forging from Mister Le, or should he study elemental control with Nana?

Which one should he choose?

After pondering for a moment, a peculiar smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face. To him, the two most important supports for his cultivation were Mister Le and Nana. But strangely, it seemed like a king never meets another king; he had been at Shrek Academy for nearly six years, and while they often came to see him, Mister Le and Nana had never crossed paths.

This time, it happened to be a coincidence that they were all going to be together, so let’s introduce them to each other.

He wondered how Mister Le and Nana would react when they saw each other. They are both so outstanding and remarkable. Oh, Mister Le is single, and Nana is too. Can I try to match them up?

Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel that in this world, the only one who could be worthy of Nana was Mister Le. Hehe, why not try to play matchmaker for them? If they could be together, wouldn’t that be perfect?

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but chuckle foolishly.

However, these thoughts were just fleeting in his mind. It was something to consider three days later. Right now, what made him restless was the Emerald Demon Battleship! He really wanted to find a place to immediately drive his Emerald Demon Battleship and practice controlling it.

If he could master the Emerald Demon Battleship, wouldn’t he be able to freely roam through space? Even if he couldn’t win a fight, with the Emerald Demon Battleship, he could still run away.

Unfortunately, due to security concerns, almost the entire area near the mother planet was under surveillance by various Federation detection devices. How could he practice under such circumstances? It was simply impossible.

Back in the dormitory, Lan Xuanyu first informed Bai Xiuxiu and his friends that he had returned and shared the good news of his successful breakthrough. He invited everyone to go out for dinner together to celebrate.

With the successful breakthrough, his biggest concern had been resolved, and he was now quite relaxed about the graduation exam three months later.

He had been busy with forging all this time and hadn’t gone out to play with everyone for a long time. It was perfect that he returned today and could take a break.

Everyone readily agreed and decided to meet at the school gate in the evening. However, Bai Xiuxiu told Lan Xuanyu to wait for her in the dormitory.

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and Lan Xuanyu opened the door to find Bai Xiuxiu standing there, looking lovely as ever in her simple Shrek Academy green outer court uniform.

“Oh, the little fairy has arrived. Come in quickly,” Lan Xuanyu pulled her inside and then opened his arms to hug her.

Bai Xiuxiu pushed her hands against his chest and gave him a cute grin, saying, “I’m not some little fairy; I’m a little witch. No mischief allowed.”

Lan Xuanyu blinked his big eyes and looked somewhat aggrieved as he said, “I just wanted a warm hug. You have no idea how much pain I endured during this breakthrough; I almost couldn’t handle it.”

Bai Xiuxiu was taken aback, and her arms that were pushing against his chest naturally softened. Taking advantage of the situation, Lan Xuanyu pulled her into his embrace and gave her a big hug without reservation.

Just as soft as jade, his thoughts were pure and filled with contentment as he held Bai Xiuxiu. At that moment, his heart was only filled with satisfaction. It was like a busy husband finally returning home after a long day and meeting his wife who had been waiting for him, giving him a warm embrace. That warmth was enough to support his entire heart.

Bai Xiuxiu closed her eyes, burying her small face in his shoulder while wrapping her arms around his waist. Familiar aura and a comforting embrace.

After practicing diligently every day, how could she not feel tired? Especially mentally. Now being held by Lan Xuanyu, she felt a bit drowsy, as if she could fall asleep in his arms right away.
They stayed in each other’s embrace like this, and Lan Xuanyu was surprised to find that Bai Xiuxiu’s breathing soon became even, and her entire weight leaned against him.

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of tenderness spread in his chest. He carefully carried her up, intending to take her to the bedroom, but Bai Xiuxiu woke up abruptly.

“What are you doing?” Seeing Lan Xuanyu holding her up like a princess, Bai Xiuxiu widened her eyes, fully awake.

Lan Xuanyu was dumbfounded and said, “I saw you were so tired, so I wanted you to rest in the room for a while. Sleep well, don’t worry, I promise not to do anything bad. Just sleep peacefully.”

Bai Xiuxiu lightly tapped his shoulder and said, “Put me down quickly. What are you talking about sleeping? It’s not even close to evening yet. Aren’t you going out later?”

“I’m not going out anymore. I’ll let everyone know. I’ll say you’re tired and want to take a nap here,” Lan Xuanyu said instinctively.

“You’re asking for trouble,” Bai Xiuxiu struggled to get down, her face already red with embarrassment. It was then that Lan Xuanyu realized the problem in his words and couldn’t help but laughed sheepishly.

“Xiuxiu, being with you lowers my IQ a bit. What should I do? Are you toxic or something?” Lan Xuanyu grinned with a slightly embarrassed face.

“You’re the toxic one. I came to find you for something important. Don’t distract me,” Bai Xiuxiu said while taking two steps back, giving Lan Xuanyu a threatening look to keep him from approaching.

“What’s the matter?” Lan Xuanyu asked, putting away his playful demeanor.

Bai Xiuxiu replied, “Your battle armor is ready. I specially brought it for you. Try it on.”

“Ready?” Lan Xuanyu was pleasantly surprised. Who wouldn’t be happy about receiving battle armor? For soul masters, battle armor was their second life, especially high-level battle armor. freewebno(v)el.com

One of the graduation requirements for the Shrek Academy outer court was to possess a Two-Words Battle Armor. This was a mandatory condition that all outer court graduates had to meet.
