Back at the Spirit Qi Bamboo House, Diao Chan and the others were having the meal Liu Yue had prepared. Upon seeing Zhou Yan, they all rushed forward joyfully.
The three women, each as beautiful as a celestial maiden, possessed their own unique charm. Seeing them always lifted one's spirits.
"The territory has changed so much," Diao Chan remarked.
"Several new buildings have appeared, but I haven't had a chance to look yet," Nie Xiaoqian said.
"I feel the spiritual energy is much more concentrated than before," Zhen Mi added.
Zhou Yan smiled at them and said, "Let's go soak in the hot springs."
"Hot springs?" the three women asked. "You mean the newly appeared Hot Spring Villa?"
"Exactly the Hot Spring Villa. And that Hot Spring Villa has a beautiful environment, making the hot spring experience incredibly comfortable. Let's all go and relax."
With a peculiar smile, Zhou Yan led the three women towards the Hot Spring Villa.
They had envisioned a simple hot spring bath, imagining how wonderfully relaxing it would be, as none of them had experienced one before.
However, Zhou Yan had other intentions.
Upon arriving at the Hot Spring Villa, they took the elevator to the top-floor Imperial Suite. Entering the suite and pushing open the glass door of the hot spring, they were met with a wave of warm, comfortable air.
The hot spring was enclosed by glass, forming a private bathing area.
"I can't believe such a hot spring pool could be on such a high floor. And this hot spring pool is not only quite large but also exquisitely and uniquely designed."
Diao Chan and the others looked at the hot spring pool inside the room, then around the rest of the space. They discovered that the room had everything, resembling a five-star hotel, with the addition of a private glass enclosure for the hot spring.
"Come, come, let's all get in the hot spring together," Zhou Yan said earnestly, looking at Diao Chan and the others.
"This..."
The women were visibly shy.
Even though they were already his, they still felt a bit embarrassed about undressing in front of each other.
"What's there to be shy about? If you'd like, I can help you. I'd be more than happy to assist."
Zhou Yan moved towards Diao Chan.
Diao Chan's face immediately flushed crimson, and she quickly said, "No, no, it's alright."
With no other choice, she shyly began to undress in front of everyone and then quickly slipped into the hot spring.
Zhen Mi and Nie Xiaoqian followed suit.
Zhou Yan feasted his eyes, then let out a mischievous chuckle. He quickly shed his clothes and, like a tiger pouncing on a lamb, leaped into the water.
With a "splash,"
Water scattered, and the women giggled.
While Nie Xiaoqian wasn't particularly fond of the warm water, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi found the hot spring experience incredibly pleasant.
However, Nie Xiaoqian's constitution was quite robust, and this temperature wouldn't affect her in the slightest.
"Does it feel good?" Zhou Yan asked.
"It's very comfortable. It feels like all the fatigue in my body has been swept away," Diao Chan replied.
The thought of being able to come here and soak in the hot springs anytime filled them with happiness.
Soaking in hot springs indeed relieved fatigue, relaxed their bodies, and eased feelings of tension, anxiety, and irritability. The effectiveness of the hot springs greatly satisfied and pleased them.
"As long as it feels good."
Zhou Yan smiled a peculiar smile.
He walked towards the three women, embracing them all. They let out surprised yelps and lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
His hands roamed over their bodies, causing them to blush with shyness.
These three women, each a peerless beauty, he wouldn't be much of a man if he didn't do something.
"We mustn't waste time," Zhou Yan said seriously to the three women.
Before they could react, they saw Zhou Yan lean down and kiss Diao Chan.
Subsequently, soft moans filled the room.
...
...
The next day, Zhou Yan left the Hot Spring Villa. The three women were fast asleep, exhausted.
In terms of cultivation realm, physical attributes, and martial arts, he was exceptionally powerful.
Forget the three women; he could handle ten times their number.
After signing in at the Three Lives Stone, feeling refreshed, he chose to return to the Canglan Continent.
Transferring...
Changing into clean clothes, he hailed a taxi and headed for school.
As a lord, he didn't strictly need a vehicle.
Although he didn't have a driver's license, his driving skills had been certified by Diao Chan and the others; when it came to drifting or accelerating, he was absolutely superb.
Last night, he had fought and won against three opponents.
His driving skills were undoubtedly top-notch.
A powerful lord could summon their mounts to the Canglan Continent.
Of course, even mounts needed to be registered and documented.
Furthermore, the Shenlong Kingdom placed great importance on the safety of every citizen.
Even if a lord committed an offense, they would be punished accordingly. If a mount injured someone, the owner would also be held accountable.
One should never underestimate the Lord Police of the Shenlong Kingdom; each officer was quite capable.
Many of them even came from academies.
He didn't have a mount yet, but he would certainly acquire one soon.
Xiacheng High School.
Fewer students were present at school today compared to usual.
Students in the first and second years of high school had already gone on break.
Only third-year students who had awakened as lords returned to school, and today was the day the school had arranged for new lords to return.
Therefore, the numbers were not large.
Class 3(1).
Upon entering the classroom, his classmates merely glanced at him.
Although they knew each other, few students were close to Zhou Yan.
Every student had undergone considerable changes, especially in their appearance.
After all, after leveling up, attribute points significantly strengthened their entire bodies, leading to noticeable changes in their looks.
Some even required a long look to be recognized.
The students who had returned were all lords who had awakened the Lord's Heart. Few envied others.
However, there were a few classmates with exceptional talent. During their awakening, they had awakened relatively good Lord's Hearts; one even awakened a purple epic-grade Lord's Heart.
The rest were ordinary white-grade lords, with a few awakening yellow-grade Lord's Hearts.
Yesterday, he overheard his classmates chatting on Feixin, mentioning that the student who awakened the purple Lord's Heart had been specially recruited into a reputable Lord Academy.
In the entire Shenlong Kingdom, approximately five million lords participated in the Newcomer Trial annually, but only newcomers ranked within the top twelve hundred nationally were eligible to enter the Four Great Lord Academies.
This indicated the immense competition.
The Four Great Lord Academies of the Shenlong Kingdom were: Longqing Academy, Beidi Academy, Shengyang Academy, and Ziwei Academy.
Each Lord Academy offered two training modes: a farming type and an adventure type for lord advancement.
This was somewhat analogous to humanities and sciences for ordinary individuals.
