Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting Chapter 948 – Moving to Shrek

948 – Moving to Shrek

TL: BluVerse

“Moving to Shrek City? I have no objections. I completely agree!” Nan Cheng peeked out of the kitchen, her face full of surprise. “Son, is this really possible? It won’t cause you any trouble, will it?”

Lan Xuanyu quickly shook his head and said, “Of course, it won’t be any trouble. As long as you both want to go, I’ll take care of everything.”

“Honey, what about you? Will your job…” Nan Cheng looked at Lan Xiao.

Lan Xiao was now a senior colonel, having earned several promotions over the years while following the exploration team on various planetary missions.

Lan Xiao smiled slightly and said, “Ever since Xuanyu went to Shrek, I haven’t been home often either. These past years, I’ve really neglected you. For the sake of you and our son, work isn’t that important. I’ll apply for a transfer. I won’t go on explorations anymore; I’ll stay home with you to make up for it.”

“Really?” Nan Cheng’s eyes widened, her excitement impossible to conceal.

“Yes.” Lan Xiao nodded at her with a smile.

Nan Cheng blinked, “You’re so sweet, honey. Love you! I’ll go back to making you both something delicious.”

Lan Xiao blushed at her words, but inside, he felt an indescribable sense of contentment. After the worries of the past few days, he finally felt a sense of relaxation.

And so, it was decided that the family would move to Shrek Academy when Lan Xuanyu returned, relocating entirely to the academy.

Lan Xuanyu handled everything smoothly. He first contacted Dean Ying Luohong and submitted the request. Such a matter was naturally easy to arrange.

With the ident.i.ties of Young Master Le and Teacher Nana confirmed, Lan Xuanyu’s status at the academy undoubtedly rose further. Soon, Ying Luohong informed him that not only was the request for his family to move approved, but they were also given a residence within the academy itself, so they wouldn’t need to live in the city. This way, they would be closer to Lan Xuanyu, and the academy’s life energy was also more abundant.

Although they could only live in the outer courtyard, it was more than sufficient for Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng’s cultivation levels. The life energy of a place like Eternal Sky City would be too overwhelming for them.

As for work, that was even easier to resolve. When Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao requested a transfer to the home planet, the military approved it immediately, a.s.signing them to work at the War G.o.d Temple in Shrek City. The jobs were quite leisurely.

Lan Xuanyu initially thought he might need to contact Admiral Yu Muchen, as he still owed the admiral three favors. But as it turned out, there was no need for that; everything was handled directly. Of course, by transferring Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng to the War G.o.d Temple branch, the military’s intentions was clear—they were extending goodwill to Lan Xuanyu.

It was a transparent strategy, one that Lan Xuanyu couldn’t refuse.

The following period could be described as the most relaxed time for Lan Xuanyu since he entered Shrek Academy. He stayed away from outside affairs, with no one coming to disturb him, just resting at home with Bai Xiuxiu.

During this time, he contacted the academy to inquire about Young Master Le and Teacher Nana. The inner courtyard’s response was that Young Master Le had entered seclusion with the Silver Dragon Egg and had not emerged since.

Lan Xuanyu had great confidence in Tang Wulin. His Uncle Le had already broken through to an unprecedented level of one hundred and twenty, and since he said that Teacher Nana would be fine, then she would definitely be fine.

Previously, Lan Xuanyu had been extremely exhausted, so when he finally had the chance to relax, he spent his days enjoying a leisurely life, exploring Heaven Duo Planet with Bai Xiuxiu. Besides his daily training, he did nothing but enjoy these carefree days.

He also inquired about the status of his former cla.s.smates. Most of them had been admitted to advanced soul master academies for further study, while some had joined the military. Everyone had chosen different paths.

Time off always flies by quickly, as it does for everyone, but vacations must eventually come to an end, and the time to return to Shrek had arrived.

Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao had already packed their belongings. There wasn’t much to take, and whatever they needed to bring could easily be stored in Lan Xuanyu’s Ring of Fate. With spatial equipment, carrying things was no trouble at all.

For the return trip, Lan Xuanyu piloted the Thirty-Three Sky Wings wars.h.i.+p himself, so there was no need to take a civilian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

Although Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao had ridden on wars.h.i.+ps many times before, this was the first time they had flown on one piloted by their son. When they boarded the Thirty-Three Sky Wings wars.h.i.+p and saw all the advanced equipment and instruments, many of which they didn’t even recognize, they were even more impressed. After all, this was a wars.h.i.+p that could be piloted by just one person.

The wars.h.i.+p took off, heading back to Shrek.

The return journey was smooth, and to Lan Xuanyu’s surprise, Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao didn’t feel much attachment to leaving Heaven Duo Planet. The truth was, they had never really considered Heaven Duo Planet their home; their real home was always the home planet. Being able to return to the home planet to live had always been their dream, so this move was like a dream come true for them.

The Thirty-Three Sky Wings wars.h.i.+p landed smoothly at Shrek City’s s.p.a.ceflight center. This time, Lan Xuanyu didn’t store the wars.h.i.+p away but instead contacted Tang Sect for maintenance and upkeep.

The academy had already sent a vehicle to wait at the s.p.a.ceflight center. Even though Lan Xuanyu hadn’t officially joined the inner courtyard yet, he was already enjoying some of the privileges.

Back at the academy, the administrative staff arranged a place for Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao to stay. Lan Xuanyu was pleasantly surprised to find out that the academy had given them a small, standalone house by the sh.o.r.es of Sea G.o.d Lake. It wasn’t very large, just a single story, nestled among the dense vegetation by the lake. But just outside the windows was the vast, misty expanse of Sea G.o.d Lake, and under the thick life energy that permeated the area, the small cabin seemed to radiate with the light of life.

Living in such a place would be a blessing for anyone. Because of the richness of the life energy, Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao even felt a bit drowsy. The life energy was so abundant that it would take them some time to adjust.

After settling his parents in, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu didn’t have time to return to their dormitory. The administrative teacher had informed them that Dean Ying Luohong had instructed them to report to the Outer Court Dean’s office as soon as they arrived.

The two of them walked quickly and headed straight to the Outer Court office building. Unlike when they had left, they now felt relaxed and at ease, with their spirits and energy in the best possible state.

The sound of knocking echoed through the office, and Ying Luohong, who was seated at her desk, smiled and said, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu walked in from outside.

“h.e.l.lo, Princ.i.p.al.”

Although Ying Luohong was very familiar with them, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration when she saw them now.

Bai Xiuxiu’s bright eyes sparkled, her long dark blue hair flowing down her back. Her fair skin seemed to glow with a soft radiance, and her charming smile made her beautiful eyes appear even more lively.

Lan Xuanyu stood tall and dignified, with a faint smile on his face. His eyes were sharp yet deep and reserved. He had clearly grown more composed, exuding a quiet confidence.

There was no doubt that the final exam and the rescue of Nana had significantly impacted them. During their recent vacation, they had adjusted well and were now in their best condition.

“It looks like both of you are in great shape. Very good, very good. Have a seat,” Ying Luohong said with a pleased smile, gesturing toward the sofa.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sat down as instructed.

“I asked you to report immediately upon your return mainly because of the matter concerning the Inner Court,” Ying Luohong said, standing up from behind her desk and sitting down on the sofa across from them.

Although Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were confident that they would be admitted to the Inner Court, they couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous upon hearing Ying Luohong’s words. In fact, no Outer Court disciple could avoid feeling nervous at this moment.
