    Now that she was drunk, Yu Huang was even more unrestrained.


    She reached out and pinched Sheng Xiao’s waist. Then, she touched his perky and robust butt. She mumbled, “Why does this boyfriend feel so real?”


    Sheng Xiao could not bear it anymore. He finally pushed Yu Huang away cruelly. “Stop pretending. I know you’re not drunk.” If she was really drunk, she would call people to settle ounts instead of touching him.


    Now that her disguise had been exposed, Yu Huang felt a little embarrassed.


    She slowly moved her head away from Sheng Xiao and stood up straight. Her eyes were clear. She was not drunk at all.


    Yu Huang, who had returned to her normal state, was even more crafty. She crossed her arms and looked up at Sheng Xiao. “I want to know why Supreme Master Sheng, who should be in Divine Realm Academy, appeared in the Prosperous Capital at night.”


    Sheng Xiao pursed his lips. His expression was unnatural.


    Yu Huang looked up at the stars above her head and teased Sheng Xiao. “Could it be that the stars in the Prosperous Capital are better than those in the Divine Realm Academy, so you came here to admire the stars?”


    The moonlight shone on Yu Huang’s golden mask. It gave off a pale yellow light, like starlight. Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang and replied, “Yes, I’m here to admire the starlight.”


    Yu Huang fell silent.


    Seeing that she was no longer making a fuss, Sheng Xiao took out the gift he had prepared from his pocket and handed it to Yu Huang. “This is for your graduation.”


    It was a ring.


    Yu Huang was shocked. She did not take it. She asked Sheng Xiao, “You gave me a ring?” Although she liked him, she did not intend to ept Sheng Xiao’s proposal so early.


    Sheng Xiao knew that Yu Huang was overthinking. He exined, “It’s just an interspatial ring.”


    Yu Huang was embarrassed when she heard the exnation. She thought that Sheng Xiao had given her a proposal ring.


    After knowing that this thing was only an interspatial ring, Yu Huang epted it generously. An interspatial ring was very expensive, and her mentor, that scrooge, only had one. It was filled with all his treasures.


    Yu Huang had an interspatial bracelet, but the storage space of that bracelet was too small. It was not enough. She nned to buy an interspatial ring. Sheng Xiao’s gift was timely.


    Yu Huang put the ring on her left index finger and asked Sheng Xiao, “Is it expensive?”


    Sheng Xiao, who hadn’t been short of money since he was a child, said, “It’s not expensive.” The ring was jade-colored. It looked beautiful on Yu Huang’s finger, so Sheng Xiao looked at it a few more times.


    Yu Huang asked again, “Is this thing vulnerable to breaking?”


    “It won’t break. It’s supported by spiritual power.”


    “That’s good.” Yu Huang noticed that Sheng Xiao still had the school badge of Divine Realm Academy on his chest. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Did you reallye from Divine Realm Academy?”


    Sheng Xiao’s eyes flickered. He did not exin.


    Yu Huang knew that she had guessed correctly.


    “Don’t tell me that you came to the Prosperous Capital from the Divine Realm Academy through the space station to see me.” Yu Huang was observing Sheng Xiao’s expression and reaction when she asked the question.


    She saw Sheng Xiao blink twice and knew that she had guessed the truth.


    Yu Huang suddenly felt touched.


    She reached out to hug Sheng Xiao. She was afraid that he would reject her. She said, “I’m going to Rakshasa Empire after the results of the college entrance examination are out. So, don’t move. Let me hug you for a while.”


    “Rakshasa Empire?” Sheng Xiao forgot to push her away. He asked Yu Huang, “What are you going there for?”


    Yu Huang was afraid that Sheng Xiao would be worried about her after knowing her real motive for going to Rakshasa Empire, so she did not tell him the truth. “I’m going to do something. I’ll be gone for three months. Don’t worry, I won’t miss the opening ceremony of Divine Realm Academy.”


    Sheng Xiao smiled when he heard her words. “Are you so sure that you can enter Divine Realm Academy?”


    Yu Huang said self-righteously, “Of course. If the school doesn’t ept me, it will be breaking up a couple.”


    Sheng Xiao could not outargue her, so he shut up.


    In fact, Yu Huang was not sure if she could be epted into the Divine Realm Academy. However, she had tried her best on the college entrance examination. If the Divine Realm Academy did not ept her in the end, then she could only use her mentor’s connections to get in through the back door.


    “I should go back.” Sheng Xiao asked for leave. He had to leave after seeing Yu Huang. “I hope that we can meet again in Divine Realm Academy three monthster.”


    Yu Huang saluted Sheng Xiao. “Yes, sir!”


    Yu Huang sat on the stone railing on the bridge. She watched as Sheng Xiao got into the car and left. Then, she lowered her head and twirled the interspatial ring on her index finger. She whispered, “Coward.”


    She understood that Sheng Xiao must have rushed to see her after seeing the message.


    However, that guy was arrogant and refused to face his feelings for her directly, so he lied and said that he was here to give her a gift.


    Yu Huang kissed the interspatial ring and sighed. “Little Jade, you are our token of love.”


    Yu Huang jumped down from the railing and walked home.


    The next day, Yu Huang ran to the flower bird market and chose dozens of ugly nts. She tried to control her Psychic power to purify them.


    However, she tried for a week and failed every time.


    On this day, the package Yu Donghai had bought online arrived. It was a brand new kitchen knife.


    Yu Huang went to the outside of the district to get the delivery under the bright sun. She carried the package home. When she passed by a small flower bed, she realized that the neighbor’s olddy was nting pumpkins that were about to die.


    Yu Huang had long noticed that the pumpkin seedlings had formed small pumpkins. However, those pumpkins would not grow up. Every time they grew to the size of a baby’s fist, they would stop growing and gradually die.


    Yu Huang realized that this pumpkin was sick and needed purification.


    She stopped and ced her right hand on the small pumpkin while gently extending her psychic energy into the pumpkin.


    She closed her eyes and let her psychic energy wander slowly along the roots of the pumpkins while trying to figure out why they were sick.


    This process was clearly very simple, but Yu Huang spent more than ten minutes to sessfully find the cause of the illness. It turned out that there was a mutated worm the shape of a tree root hidden at the root of the pumpkin seedling. The worm was devouring the life force of the little pumpkin.


    This was probably a nt parasite that survived by sucking nt fruits.


    Yu Huang began to chant the Purifying Spirit Art silently. As she chanted, she injected more psychic power into the pumpkin. Her psychic power slowly surrounded the huge insect and killed it before purifying it.


    This was the simplest and most basic Purifying Spirit Art, but it exhausted Yu Huang’s energy. After the purification, Yu Huang was so exhausted that her forehead was covered in sweat and her fingers were trembling.


    However, Yu Huang was somewhat excited. This was the first time she had sessfully executed the Purifying Spirit Art after bing a Purifying Spirit Master!


    She looked at the newborn pumpkin seedling and felt satisfied and rxed. She became much more cheerful.


    Would every Purifying Spirit Master feel satisfied and happy when they sessfully purified a life?


    Just as this thought shed through her mind, Su Tingxue’s voice suddenly sounded in Yu Huang’s mind. “You’ve discovered it, right? In fact, when a Purifying Spirit Master is purifying others, he is also purifying himself.”


    It had been a long time since Su Tingxue appeared. If it wasn’t for the lingering soul consciousness in Yu Huang’s Spiritual Abode, Yu Huang would have thought that Su Tingxue had already vanished.


    Yu Huang sneered. “I thought you were going to pretend to be dead until forever. Why did you suddenly appear?”


    Su Tingxue’s voice sounded very weak. She said, “I can feel that I’m about to disappear. I’m trying to conserve as much energy as possible.”


    Yu Huang smiled at her. “You’ve been dead for six hundred years. Why are you still holding on?”


    Do what?


    Of course, she wanted to see that person die tragically with her own eyes!


    “Yu Huang.” Su Tingxue’s tone suddenly became serious and stern. “I might not live to see the day you be truly powerful. Don’t you want to know the real condition to be a level-10 Purifying Spirit Master?”


    Yu Huang was somewhat surprised. “You n to tell me?”


    Su Tingxue tempted her. “If you’re willing to acknowledge me as your mentor, I’ll tell you.”


    “Be your disciple?” Yu Huang rejected her immediately. “Forget it!”


    Seeing that Yu Huang rejected her suggestion firmly and quickly, Su Tingxue was angry and annoyed. “What’s wrong with acknowledging me as your mentor? I’m much better than that dabbler of yours.”


    “Perhaps you’re more powerful than him, but you won’t love me more than him.” Just because Yu Huang didn’t say anything didn’t mean that she didn’t know what was going on. “After Mentor found out that I had fallen into the Time Valley, he dared to risk his life to enter the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion to find me. Would you?”


    During the period of time when the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion was closed, the energy of the Time Valley would be even more chaotic. During this period, even those powerful Grand Master Beast Tamers did not dare to barge into the ancient pavilion.


    As a Purifying Spirit Master, Lin Jiansheng still charged into the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion without hesitation despite knowing that there was danger.


    Just based on this alone, that old man was worthy of Yu Huang calling him her mentor for the rest of her life.


    In her entire life, Yu Huang only recognized this one mentor.


    Su Tingxue fell silent after hearing Yu Huang’s words. “I didn’t expect you to be so loyal.”


    Yu Huang clicked her tongue.


    Su Tingxue continued, “Since you value friendship so much, why did you shoot your parents and kill 100,000 people in the base? I thought you were really heartless.”


    Yu Huang would asionally dream about her previous lifetime in the dead of the night. Su Tingxue lived in the Yu Huang’s Divine Abode, so she could naturally pry into Yu Huang’s dream.


    Su Tingxue’s question clearly angered Yu Huang, who immediately became agitated. “Shut up!”


    It seemed that the fact that she had shot her parents with her own hands had a huge impact on her.


    Su Tingxue was unwilling to shut up. She questioned Yu Huang again, “Have you never wavered after being misinterpreted and insulted by so many people? I really want to know what kind of faith you have that you would stay in that position for a hundred years and personally kill your infectedpatriots.”


    What kind of faith did she have back then?


    Yu Huang stared at the pumpkins in front of her who had regained their vitality and said softly, “For the future of humanity.”


    Every monitor at the base had to swear with their lives on the first day they took office—


    “I swear with my life that I will forever be loyal to the base and to humanity. I promise that I will treat all infected people equally and will never show mercy to the infected just because they are my family, friends, and lover. I swear that I will exterminate every infected person and protect all my fellow humans in the base. I believe that humanity will have a brighter future!”


    Even now, Yu Huang still clearly remembered all the contents of the oath.


    Only by believing that humanity still had a future could the supervisors firmly carry out their task.
