Strategy or otherwise, the Saruman Snake battle team accepted gladly. Everyone understood Princess Huiyin’s character. Besides, Aslan was not that sneaky. By right, the only one the Aslan people needed to watch out for was Wang Zheng. Imperial Glory’s odds were at least 50%.
Besides, it was good to relax both mentally and physically after a big battle. It was not a bad thing to take some time off at this time. Besides Mu Zhen, the others had all arrived. Poor Mu Zhen, that blockhead. He could not enter the city of the school.
Besides their members, Ai Xiaolu, Luo Er, and the rest had also come. There were many like Eisen who had worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the Saruman Snake battle team. Saruman Snake’s achievements today were thanks to everyone’s hard work and support. Of course, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu had come as well. They would come even if they had to be scalped in the process.
Since the Princess had invited them, everyone was happy. Zhang Shan would take a good bath and dress up, and even Achilles wore a formal suit.
This was the custom of the Moon, and also a courtesy. Aslan was such a presence that even opponents had to show some respect. It could be said that their kingly aura was solidified.


Wang Zheng had not thought so deeply. Huiyin had always been easygoing. Since everyone was mulling over the plan to the point where their brains were about to fry, a change of mood might serve them well. Besides, he knew that this matter did not concern Imperial Glory in the slightest.
The Saruman Snake battle team had not gathered together properly in a while now. They had almost forgotten the other side of life. While Wang Zheng was in Tita, the Saruman Snake battle team had been plagued with worry. And then, after his return, they had been caught up in the competition.

Is it really alright for us to be taking it so easy before the battle?
Takumi was exasperated. Yes, one should take a proper breather before the battle, but on the flip side, resting for too long weakened the spirit. But he would follow the majority.

Relax, relax. Even if the sky falls down, Wang Zheng will hold it up. We beat Asura. It’s almost blasphemy not to celebrate that. Besides, were you thinking of rejecting Her Highness Huiyin’s invitation?
Zhang Shan nudged Takumi and laughed.
Takumi was taken aback.
Of course I’m going. After I get back, I can brag for a few years, haha.


Exactly, exactly. It’s only us who are able to accept Princess Huiyin’s invitation,
Zhang Shan beamed.

Looks like you both really like Huiyin.
Luo Er smiled.
I’m quite partial to her songs. Too bad we Gemini Star people are not too good at singing.


Student Luo Er, I’ll sing a song for you in a bit.
Zhang Shan waggled his eyebrows crazily.

Zhang Shan, can it. Don’t scare others away.
Ai Xiaolu was getting familiar with them.
Really, why isn’t Snow here yet?


Snow is coming too?
Takumi asked.



The competition’s over, of course she’s invited. We’re all good friends. Isn’t that right, your leadership Sir,
Ai Xiaolu said.
Wang Zheng laughed.
Of course. The more the merrier.


Then I’ll call Vincent!
Takumi hastened to say.
He’s a diehard fan of Her Highness Huiyin.

The two Aslan princesses had too much influence. Luo Er and Ai Xiaolu were highly born themselves, but their charms had to be acknowledged.
Before too long, Snow Li and Vincent had arrived, and the mood rose. Although Lie Xin was their age, she was a little ahead in terms of emotional development. For the sake of the battle team, she would not leave herself out. She preferred to drink alone and watch the cheer. That calmed her more.
As for that kid Huiyin. No breasts to speak of, and no butt to speak of. Men were strange creatures at times. When you asked them to think with their lower head, they were suddenly intellectual.
Vincent was especially excited, hugging all of them. Since they had been teammates, there was no need to be formal.

Who knew we would be where we are today.
Vincent and Takumi were seated together, and Takumi poured him a drink.

Keke, and to think that you were the one who pulled me in back then. And now you’ve absconded first.
Takumi laughed.

There are always times in life where we have no choice. I’m genuinely happy for Saruman Snake. It’s stood up for all of us. Now our battle team looks up to Saruman Snake as a role model.




Oh? What did Dendi say?


If even Saruman Snake can rise from the dirt, then our Eagle can definitely spread our wings and soar.
Vincent mimicked Dendi, sending Takumi into a fit of laughter.
A motley crew like Saruman Snake had beaten the iconic Asura, bringing hope and opportunity to countless people.
Humans were strange. When they despaired, they were depressed. But once they saw hope, they could unleash uncommon power.
Huiyin had not arrived, but Zhang Shan already could not help rushing up to show off. Singing needed no Ability X. Like before, when he went off-key, he could find a crack to hide himself in.
Everyone was naturally in a good mood coming off their victory. Quickly, the happy atmosphere built, and Huiyin arrived before too long.
Huiyin was no stranger to them. Everyone knew that this little princess was good friends with Wang Zheng. Although things were a bit more sensitive in this period, they were not that bad.
Huiyin arrived, and with her, Annil and Lu Die. The little princess wore a lacy frock today, a beautiful butterfly hair clip perched on her head. It was minimal, but all the males present were struck by her arrival. Annil and Lu Die were also beauties. It looked like they had put special pains into their appearance today as well, but everyone only had eyes for Lin Huiyin. It looked like Huiyin had taken special care today as well.

Thank you, everybody, for accepting my invitation. My fighting power is equivalent to zero. That’s why I’m not your opponent today – we’re all friends!
Huiyin declared to laughter. In an instant, the awkwardness vanished.
Lu Die and Annil also relaxed. They were Lin Huiyin’s followers. Although they had not understood Huiyin’s decision, the princess had made her decision, so they would comply. It was just singing and drinking, wasn’t it? Aslan people were afraid of nothing!


Get em!

Then, let’s see who’s the better drinker. Student Lu, I clearly remember your shot which immediately put me to sleep. Such fate we have. Let’s drink three cups.
Zhang Shan immediately came over.
Lu Die smiled slightly.
A man must be chivalrous. One on two, that’s not too much of a request, is it?

Lu Die’s smile dazzled Zhang Shan. Who would have thought that the cool sniper of Imperial Glory actually had this side to her?
Zhang Shan beat his chest without hesitation.
We Earthlings are all real men. One cup for you, three cups for me. No discounts!


How generous of you!

Nearby, Lie Xin shook her head.
Trash.

After all, Zhang Shan could not compete. No matter if he was dead drunk.
Lu Die and Zhang Shan opened the field like that, and the rest became livelier as well.
Huiyin greeted everyone individually. In truth, everyone was still a little overwhelmed by her favor. Although they were peers, everyone knew the distance between them. It was said that Aslan’s two beauties had boundless charms, and perhaps some held on to their pride and were doubtful. But when face to face with Huiyin, it all vanished like smoke on the wind. Vincent was actually a little nervous, and a little incoherent with his words. Takumi’s face was scrunched up as well, and trying to calm himself as best he could.


Of course, a few of the girls were quite at ease. Compared to Aina’s frightening aura and charms, Huiyin was warmer and easier to get close to.
Of course, Wang Zheng would not agree with this evaluation. Only that outsiders had not seen the affectionate side of Aina.

Brother Wang Zheng, I haven’t congratulated you on your victory.
Huiyin came to Wang Zheng’s side with a warmth previously unseen.
Wang Zheng smiled and was about to pat Huiyin’s head, when he suddenly realized that Huiyin had already grown into a beautiful woman. She was only a head shorter than he was, but still as cute as ever. But her cuteness had mellowed into a young beauty. When he took a closer look, there was something beguiling about her.

Congratulations in your heart will be good enough. Against Imperial Glory, I won’t hold back,
Wang Zheng said.
Huiyin smiled.
Brother Wang Zheng, you just do what you need to do. You know that Huiyin will always be on your side.


Haha, the highest honor. I should dedicate a song for you.


Let’s sing a duet. You forgot that there’s a song where we sung together.
Huiyin smiled.

I’ll sound like someone chasing ducks to the rack. I’ll sully your eminence.
Wang Zheng chuckled.

Many people are still trying to find out who that person is, but I’m not telling. It’s our little secret.
Huiyin stuck out her tongue at him. Unbelievably cute.
This enchanting little sprite. Looking at her, it seemed like the world was at peace.

Keke, even the princess has arrived. As the most handsome in the Saruman Snake battle team, I, Zhang Shan, have come to cast my pearls before… Oi, Takumi, dmn, don’t take my spotlight.


Brothers, I support you! Go!
Eisen hollered. The few Earthworm Federation people had been lost upon arriving at Elite Academy X. Whether in terms of ability or federation influence, they were too weak, and easily outshined. But at the Saruman Snake battle team, they had found their own place and come this far. Perhaps they could never be as good as Wang Zheng or Zhang Shan, but the Saruman Snake battle team was like a big family. No one would disdain them here. They fought together, and Eisen’s greatest fortune was meeting these two Earthlings.

Right, let me dedicate ‘Love You Forever’ to my true love, Student Eisen!

Zhang Shan said passionately.
Eisen immediately stopped him.
Sod off, my preferences are strictly straight.

Zhang Shan did not sing badly. Even if not every note was right, he was not beyond hope. Effort made up for his shortcomings. Besides, Zhang Shan’s passion roused the crowd. The more he sang, the more the atmosphere rose. After a song, everyone applauded.

Y’all see Brother’s ability? Who’s willing to take the mic? Like I said, this is called pearls before swine,
Zhang Shan said proudly. Everyone laughed.

Zhang Shan, looks like I have to teach you a lesson.
Ai Xiaolu stood up.
Let Sister here show you what true talent is!
