Ultimately, the fight between Tang Longfei and Xia Qiuhua ended in a draw. Neither had been able to fully defeat the other, and instead, they had both collapsed due to heavy injuries. For some reason, a connection seemed to have formed between the two during the fight. They thus announced unanimously that they would resume their fight at a different time.

The two were then brought away by their respective people. Through the battle, their names started spreading through the academy. In the academy, each and every disciple was constantly changing. Anyone who slacked could be overtaken by the others at any time.

None of these geniuses enjoyed being beneath others. Thus, it was natural that they would constantly cultivate hard in pursuit of strength. Furthermore, the rise of Tang Longfei and Xia Qiuhua, who both initially had bad rankings, had inspired many others with bad rankings.

With the duels of Zhuge Zhantian and Tang Longfei, the Overlord Legion had repaired their reputation somewhat, allowing them to stabilize the nerves of the other members. And with the return of Shang Jifeng and Lady Shura, finally, the Overlord Legion members calmed.

They only needed to await the return of their overlord, who would gain more glory for their Overlord Legion. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun quietly arrived at Dragon Phoenix City.

He initially planned to rush back to the academy immediately, but after some hesitation, he decided to recuperate for two days at the Dragon Phoenix City before returning. He visited the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant again and ordered a set of their medicinal cuisine.

The medicinal cuisine wasn't exactly cheap. It was priced at 5,000 contribution points. Xiang Shaoyun finally understood why they were ignored when they requested more sets of medicinal cuisine back when they had first arrived.

As a disciple of the academy, contribution points were required if he wished to order the medicinal cuisine. Halfway through his meal, he noticed someone beside him.

"Young master, isn't it boring eating all by yourself? Why don't you let me accompany you?” A coquettish voice traveled into his ears.

When Xiang Shaoyun looked over, an enchanting young woman entered his view. She was gazing at him with a pair of eyes glistening with tenderness. The young woman was dressed seductively, showcasing her fair and tender skin and her bountiful bosom that caused one's blood to boil. Her waist was also slim, while her rear was perky. Everything about her seemed perfect.

It would seem Xiang Shaoyun had encountered an exquisite young woman. He was also a hot-blooded young man, and when he faced such a woman, he felt his blood boil.

Looking at her tender half-revealed bosom, he swallowed and said, "Th-that w-won't be proper, right?"

His action was a contradiction of his words, however, as he moved aside and made space for the woman to sit down. The men in their surroundings all focused on the woman, some seemingly on the verge of getting a nosebleed. This was a mature woman that not many men could reject. She sat down beside Xiang Shaoyun, and immediately, a pleasant smell entered his nose, almost causing him to lose himself to lust then and there.

"Young master, what is your name? You are so handsome, causing my heart to beat when I lay eyes on you," asked the woman tenderly. Her pair of eyes seemed to radiate endless charm capable of ending kingdoms.

Blankly, Xiang Shaoyun answered, "I am Xiang Shaoyun, a Dragon Phoenix Academy disciple. What is your name, if I may ask?"

"Ohhh, amazing! Young Master Xiang is a disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy? I heard that only the best of geniuses could enter the academy," exclaimed the woman with a look of infatuation.

She then wrapped her hands around Xiang Shaoyun's arm, rubbing her ample bosom against his arm. The splendid sensation further poked at Xiang Shaoyun's mind, dragging him into a spiral of lust.

"Haha, no, that's nothing special at all," said Xiang Shaoyun with a hearty laugh.

"Young Master Xiang is such a humble person," said the woman. She then raised his glass and said, "A toast to you from your servant, Jiaojiao."

She then downed the liquor in the glass.

"Miss, you look to be a great drinker! Fine, today, we shall drink to our hearts' content!" said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Young Master Xiang, are you trying to get me drunk?" asked the woman.

"What do you think?" A perverted look flashed in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes.

"Fine, I will agree since I find you very pleasing to my eyes for some reason. Today, we shall drink to our hearts' content!" said the woman bashfully.

At this point, the people around them couldn't watch on anymore. They wanted nothing more than to replace Xiang Shaoyun. Inwardly, they all cursed, What's so special about that pretty boy? His looks are all he has!

They were filled with envy. Xiang Shaoyun and the woman weren't able to drink much before someone finally took action.

"Beauty, what's the point of drinking with a pretty boy like him? Come, drink with me!" said a sturdy male with a massive beard on his face.

The man had a rugged look, and several malevolent scars could be seen on his arms. He was obviously someone who risked his life on a regular basis. He sat down opposite the woman, staring straight at her plump bosom while swallowing repeatedly.

"You're so ugly. I don't like you," said the woman as she meekly hid behind Xiang Shaoyun.

"Hmph. You should never judge a book by its cover. In bed, this pretty boy is definitely trash. How can he compare with me?" said the man with a snort. He then glared at Xiang Shaoyun. "Kid, scram! Do you want me to throw you out personally?"

"Hehe, what do I have to fear? This is the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Oh? Are you planning to stay here your whole life?" the man asked disdainfully before standing up and walking out of the restaurant.

He stood at the entrance, waiting. He even had the time to provoke and give Xiang Shaoyun his middle finger.

"Young Master Xiang, what should we do?" asked the woman, looking pitiful. "Th-that person looks so scary."

"Don't worry. Since he wants to wait, we'll let him wait. I'm in no rush anyway," said Xiang Shaoyun in a carefree manner. His shameless words gave the impression that he was really afraid of the man.

At this, the others in the restaurant were filled with disdain. A pretty boy is indeed only good for his looks and nothing else.

"Hehe, great! I'll drink with you! At most, both of us will stay here together," said the woman with a sweet smile.

"Yes, yes, staying at the restaurant would be great," a voice Xiang Shaoyun was rather familiar with suddenly sounded outside the restaurant.
