At this moment, the three young women looked at the beaming Guan Yue, and smiles of joy appeared on their faces. Their beautiful smiles made many boys envious of Guan Yue, bringing her more unnamed rivals.
Especially He Bi, who smiled radiantly at Guan Yue. Her stunning smile attracted the attention of countless boys. Even Chu Shaotian, Dugu Shalong, Hexi Wang, Lu Ziang, and other boys stared at her with wide eyes, completely lost in the moment.
Fang Bulian quietly watched He Bi from the side. He was consumed by desire for her perfect figure and face, and he resolved to pursue her no matter the cost.
In comparison to He Bi's voluptuous and alluring figure, Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia appeared even more innocent. They were idols among the new students, while He Bi was more of an idol for the upperclassmen due to her fuller and more vibrant appearance. With every step she took, her curves swayed enticingly, nearly causing many boys who favored mature women to lose control.
"Ultimate Three Beauties," Lu Ziang exclaimed in admiration.
"No, I only like He Bi—she's enchanting and flavorful. A chest that is ample is what truly matters. Those two are still just little girls," Fang Bulian insisted on his opinion.
"You only know about voluptuousness; you don't appreciate the virtues of a graceful lady. Each has its own charm," Lu Ziang advised Fang Bulian as if he were an expert.
Fang Bulian rolled his eyes at him and retorted angrily, "What do you know? You're still a virgin! Unlike me, I've conquered many battles and seen countless women. I've tasted all types—plump and slender, ample bosoms and curvy hips, charming beauties and delicate flowers—so I naturally know what's good."
Seeing Fang Bulian boast with great enthusiasm, Lu Ziang interrupted him, "Stop right there. Fang, back in the day when I was making my mark, you were still a snot-nosed kid. Stop bragging and drink more water; it's good for your health."
Lu Ziang's words infuriated Fang Bulian, causing his beard to bristle as he glared at Lu Ziang, ready to retort when someone else spoke up: "Lu brother, Fang brother, since you both claim to be experts in wooing women, why don't we make a bet among the three of us?"
"What kind of bet?" Lu Ziang asked, recognizing it was Wei Chi Fengyun from their fifth year.
Fang Bulian also inquired, "What are we betting on?"
"We bet on who can first strip the clothes off that beauty, He Bi. How about it?" Wei Chi Fengyun asked with a laugh.
"Sure, I'm in. What's the wager?" Fang Bulian replied eagerly, while Lu Ziang frowned slightly, "What are you up to, Wei Chi?"
"It's my cultivation technique, Azure Sky Step, against your Realm Acceleration Essentials and Fang's Extreme Step. If anyone succeeds first, the other two must hand over their respective techniques as compensation. What do you think?" Wei Chi Fengyun still joked around, but Lu Ziang understood him well; he was quite lecherous and had taken advantage of many female disciples without ever being caught.
"Not interested," Lu Ziang said lightly with a smile.
"What about you, Fang? Are you interested?" Wei Chi Fengyun turned to Fang Bulian.
"I'm in. But if I lose, this family heirloom Extreme Step can only be used by you personally and cannot be passed on." Fang Bulian was no fool; he knew how skilled Wei Chi Fengyun was with women, yet he still felt he had a chance. Moreover, Wei Chi Fengyun's Azure Sky Step was a powerful technique, ranking among the top ten strongest techniques in the Southern Source Empire. If he could obtain it, it would be a huge gain.
"Agreed. If I lose, then Azure Sky Step can only be used by you as well," Wei Chi Fengyun confirmed.
Fang Bulian then turned to Lu Ziang and said, "Lu, you should join the bet too. Without you, our excitement is lacking. Besides, with beauty at stake, you're a man too; you wouldn't back down."
Lu Ziang had a gambling nature, and although his family technique Realm Acceleration Essentials had a grand name, it was not very practical and couldn't compare to Wei Chi Fengyun's Azure Sky Step. Since Fang Bulian had already agreed to the bet, why not join in?
Seeing Lu Ziang also agree to the bet made Wei Chi Fengyun very happy. The three of them set strict rules with a time limit of one year. The goal was to see who could win over He Bi first.
At the front lines of the war between the Southern Source Empire and the Dawson Empire, Jiang Gong was in his headquarters discussing matters with several strategists.
"Gentlemen, I have been here for some time now. Why has there been no word from the Son of Earth?" Jiang Gong's voice and expression clearly showed his dissatisfaction and anger.
"Under the Crown Prince's command, it has now been confirmed that the Shadow Child appearing in the Dawson Empire is currently in the hands of the Second Prince of the Dawson Empire. The Wood Child that has appeared in our country is in your hands, Your Highness, while the Golden Child from the Vast Empire is with Princess Wuma Xiangwei. According to intelligence, there are two more Earth Children in the Dawson Empire, likely the Water Child and Fire Child. The whereabouts of the Child of Earth are unknown. The Child of Earth and Thunder Child should be in our Southern Source Empire, while the Vast Empire likely has the Son of Sun and Wind Child. This means that each of our three great empires has three Children of Heaven and Earth."
"Mm." Jiang Gong nodded and asked, "Now let's talk about the situation within the Dawson Empire. What are the locations of these two Earth Children?"
"Under the Crown Prince, we have already found reliable clues. The Water Child has actually been born long ago and is in possession of a Disciple known as Regretless Sage, who is currently a teacher at Changshan Academy in the Dawson Empire," a Strategist reported softly to Jiang Gong.
"Oh," Jiang Gong frowned slightly, "Is there any issue with obtaining this Water Child?"
"We have confirmed that this Regretless Sage possesses very peculiar skills. Although his cultivation level is not high, his combat ability is extremely strong. His disciples all have capabilities to fight above their level. He is also a key target for defense in the Dawson Empire. If we want to seize the Water Child from him, we can only rely on strategy," the Strategist advised.
"Then do everything possible to obtain it. Do you think I came to the Dawson Empire to fight? Wrong. No matter how we battle with the Dawson Empire, we will ultimately have to consider the Vast Empire's stance; they have the strength to call the shots. My true purpose for coming to the Dawson Empire is for its three Earth Children. You all need to seize every opportunity to find out about the Fire Child's whereabouts. At that time, I will be able to take decisive action," Jiang Gong reprimanded several Strategists loudly, his voice hoarse. The Strategists were all anxious and nodded submissively, fearing that the Crown Prince would blame them.
A Disciple standing beside the Crown Prince stepped forward and said, "Crown Prince, I plan to take action myself to seize both the Water Child and Shadow Child. I need your authorization."
Prince Jiang Gong looked at this Disciple with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "Northern Eagle, if you take action, I will be at ease. However, make sure not to alert anyone; first locate them and devise a plan. Once we find out about the Fire Child's whereabouts, we will act together."
"Understood." Northern Eagle replied decisively. His upcoming task was quite heavy, but he had always managed to complete tasks assigned by the Crown Prince successfully, earning his recognition. As a result, his family benefited greatly.
At this moment, Wuma Xiangwei, the only princess of the Vast Empire, was also in a dark valley of the Dawson Empire organizing personnel for an archaeological site development. Compared to Prince Jiang Gong's clear understanding of the distribution of Children of Heaven and Earth, Wuma Xiangwei lagged far behind. She only knew that she had obtained one Child of Heaven and Earth but was unaware of anything else. Therefore, she was very eager to catch up with the progress of the other two nations.
The acquisition of Children of Heaven and Earth directly relates to the rise and fall of empires; thus, the royal families of Vast Empire, Dawson Empire, and Southern Source Empire were all paying close attention.
The Vast Empire had arranged for two princes and one princess to act separately: the Crown Prince was responsible for searching for Children of Heaven and Earth within their empire; Princess Xiangwei was tasked with searching for Children of Heaven and Earth in Dawson Empire; while Fifth Prince was responsible for searching in Southern Source Empire. This indicates that Wuma Xiangwei held no less weight in Emperor of the Myriad Realms' eyes than any prince.
Now, within this open ruin, there is information about the "Child of Heaven and Earth." She swore to obtain it.
As the excavation work progressed rapidly, the shape of the ruin gradually emerged. Xiang Wei smiled lightly, "It really is an underground ruin, buried quite deep. If it weren't for the accurate intelligence, how could we have found this place?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Wuma Xiangwei's face, and her Disciple also wore a proud expression. The opening of this ruin had taken considerable effort from them. They were indeed the contributors.
Items from within the ruin were being taken out one by one and placed in front of Wuma Xiangwei, filling the ground. The Disciples were sorting through various unearthed materials, categorizing them for the princess's confirmation. Xiang Wei's main focus was on a written document. It was said to contain detailed information about the Mother of Heaven and Earth. This document was the goal of Xiang Wei's journey.
Finally, hard work paid off. When her subordinate handed a page made from some animal hide to Xiang Wei, she glanced at it briefly and confirmed that this was the treasure she had been searching for.
Without further inspection, Xiang Wei casually placed it into her Cosmic Bag.
At that moment, as Xiang Wei put it into her Cosmic Bag, a crushing pressure suddenly descended upon everyone present in that dark corner, rendering them all incapable of movement.
A massive White Human-Shaped Shadow appeared, hovering in the air and looking down at the hundreds of people on the ground. It spoke, "That girl, hand over that document to me."
As soon as its voice fell, Wuma Xiangwei felt her body loosen and regained her ability to move.
Wuma Xiangwei was already a Disciple at the Pinnacle of the Marvelous Realm, but before that White Figure, she still felt like a weak being and was no match for him; she could only submit to his will.
Xiang Wei rose into the air to approach that figure. She wanted to see his appearance clearly but was unable to do so. A thin layer of mist obscured her view of the White Figure's face.
