The lifeless Iron Black Drake turned into countless tiny lights and returned to Wu Fei's spiritual core.
Seeing his beast defeated in an instant, Wu Fei complexion paled. He couldn't believe he lost!
Furthermore, he gave the Iron Black Drake most of his Spirit Energy!
Having his summon killed, there was no Spirit Energy left to salvage on the Iron Black Drake!
It caused Wu Fei to be depleted that he couldn't move a muscle. This would take a huge backlash in his cultivation as he would start gathering Spirit Energy back to square one!
Restoring his damaged beast would also cause a huge amount of Spirit Energy. It would delay Wu Fei's cultivation two-fold!
On the other side, the old teacher Mo was also bewildered by what happened!
Everything about the humanoid summon was so mysterious!
With countless eyes focused on them, teacher Mo was unable to help his Young Master Wu Fei!
Sighing, teacher Mo couldn't help but announced the winner.
"Victor! Blue Nest Palace Disciple Xiao Hu!"
There was no cheer at all! The students were dumbstruck!
Only a few started clapping.
"This isn't right! He cheated! Teacher Mo you saw it! Why did my Iron Black Drake suddenly die!? He must've used something against the rules!" Wu Fei who couldn't accept his loss complained!
Lin Mei (Sav) hastily assisted Xiao Hu to stand up. They were about to leave the stadium but was stopped by Wu Fei.
The crowd who thought the battle was overturned their attention back to the stadium.
"Yeah! Blue Nest Palace Disciple please enlighten us!"
"He's right! He must've cheated!"
Those students who couldn't believe what happened finally reacted.
On the other hand, the old teacher Mo was hesitant. Young Master Wu Fei! We don't have evidence!
However, the old teacher Mo was also curious to find out.
Believing that the other party used an underhanded method, he released a massive intimidating Master Spirit Energy in a form of thousand strings!
A skill that the old teacher Mo was proud of.
Soul Binding Technique!
"Blue Nest Palace Disciple, kindly enlighten this old servant!"
Teacher Mo didn't notice Lin Mei was already wary of him from the start!
This time, Lin Mei finally used her phantasmal weapon!
A wand materialized out of thin air and soon a burst of energy exploded on the arena!
…
…
Xiao Hu witnessed Lin Mei summoned a short exquisite wand. Then, he felt a strong hostile spirit energy coming towards them. He couldn't help but shiver!
At that split second, Lin Mei bravely reached out her palm!
Teacher Mo expected them to tremble in fear. The Soul-Binding Technique would allow them to answer according to his own will. If successful, anyone could become his puppets!
Such a wicked technique!
However, the old teacher witnessed something wrong!
Out of expectation, Lin Mei suddenly start absorbing the old teacher Spirit Energy into her palm!
"You… you… Impossible!!" The old man shouted.
Lin Mei felt an overflowing power of the Master Spirit Energy! She glared at the old teacher. Her eyes were filled with killing intent!
Without hesitation, Lin Mei returned a massive shockwave of energy back to the old teacher! She wanted to pulverize him with this pressure!
When she held her phantasmal weapon, a series of mythic spells run through her mind. One of those was spells was Energy Absorption! Furthermore, the enchantment on her wand boosted her ability power ten-fold!
This time, the old man couldn't believe the humanoid summon would fight back! It even absorbed his Soul Binding Technique!!
"Courting death!" He began to channel more spirit energy for a stronger technique.
However, at that moment, a figure descended from above!
"Teacher Mo, stop this in an instant!"
Then, the figure raised his palm and block Lin Mei's attack causing a loud boom!
Lin Mei frowned, the figure remained unscathed as if it was nothing at all!
"Principal!! Please forgive this servant! This servant couldn't control his emotion!" The old teacher Mo was scared silly! He began to kowtow in front of the old grumpy principal!
In the academy, no one would dare to be disrespectful at the old lively principal. Although no one witnessed his power, he was known to have an Ascended Spirit! If it was to be believed, then, the principal could instantly defeat teacher Mo as if stepping on an ant!
"Aye, take the young master of the Black Demon Nest Palace with you and go. This battle is already over. I don't want to see anyone wasting their time in this arena in the future!" The old grumpy yet powerful voice resounded on the arena as if on a microphone!
The students and teacher who cut their classes hurriedly left one after another!
Same goes for the old teacher Mo who carried the dumbstruck Wu Fei out of the arena.
This time, the Principal glanced at the three people on his side.
These three people were Lin Mei, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yun.
"Little Hu had a strong companion I see." The principal nodded whilst stroking his long white beard.
Out of the masses, he might be the only one who understand what truly happened!
"Thank you, gramps." Xiao Hu weakly replied.
When Lin Mei spread her field, the old principal felt a thin Spirit Energy ran passed him!
That time he enhanced his vision using his own Ascended Spirit Energy.
Then, he saw the unique invisible energy in a form of tiny dust!
That energy also covered the whole arena!
Moreover, the rock pillar that sprouted from the arena floor was covered by the same unique energy. The principal also witnessed Lin Mei slowly twisted her hand out of blue. At the same time, the energy that was closely attached to the Drake also twisted snapping the beast's neck. Witnessing Lin Mei's unknown spirit technique first hand, the principal was impressed!
In truth, Lin Mei could only attack her opponents' physical body when they were unguarded or weakened. If Lin Mei directly attacks her opponents' physical body, they would feel the force that was trying to move them. In this case, they would have a chance to resist. That was why Lin Mei tried to knock out the Iron Black Drake before breaking its neck!
On the other hand, Xiao Yun who was completely worried since the beginning finally smiled! She innocently ran and hugged the principal!
"Grandpa you came!"
Earlier, Xiao Yun almost jumped to the stadium to save her brother, however, when Lin Mei appeared, she was frozen on the spot.
"HAHA! Little Yun is sure young and lively! Of course, I came. This is my house!" The Principal joyed and gently caressed Xiao Yun's fluffy hair.
Xiao Hu was completely tired and could only force a smile.
"Master, are you alright?" Lin Mei who was supporting Xiao Hu worriedly asked.
"Un… I just need a little rest."
…
…
…
It was afternoon when the siblings finally returned to the Blue Lake Pavilion.
The young Xiao Hu already fell asleep on the way. He had no idea that Lin Mei carried him on her back!
Although Xiao Hu looked young. His body was more fully developed than when he was on earth.
Cultivating Spirit Energy helped Xiao Hu to remove the impurities from his body. It helped his muscles to shape in their perfect form as he grew over the years.
For the meantime, Lin Mei accompanied Xiao Yun in the courtyard.
"Little Yun can call me big sister Mei or Mei Mei!"
"Why?" Xiao Yun innocently asked.
"Because I'm big brother's wife."
Lin Mei's honestly spoke what's on her mind.
However, the young illiterate Xiao Yun had no way of understanding what she meant.
"Wife?" Xiao Yun titled her head.
"Umh… like Little Yun's mom and dad?"
Wondering on what the big sister said, Xiao Yun suddenly remembered her deceased mother. She watched her mother died out of a strange sickness. Xiao Yun couldn't help but lowered her head in sadness.
Lin Mei realized she made a mistake. Afraid that the conversation might end up on the wrong path, Lin Mei tried to change the topic.
She leaned down on Xiao Yun's height. Noticing Xiao Yun was about to cry, Lin Mei softly caressed her cute cheeks.
"It's okay, you'll know when you grow up. Big sister will be good to little Yun just like how big brother treats her." Lin Mei said in a gentle tone.
Feeling a womanly affection just like her mother's soft hands filled with warmth, Xiao Yun finally calm down.
Seeing Lin Mei closely, she gasps. "Big sister pretty!"
Knowing Xiao Yun mood lightened up, Lin Mei smiled brightly.
"Ehehe. I'm a little bit hungry, does little Yun knows the kitchen?"
"Un, there!" Xiao Yun pointed at the Blue Lake Pavilion kitchen.
Lin Mei always wanted to experience what eating feels like. She had been on ethereal all her life. Her sense of touch and smell was nonexistent until now. Normally, Lin Mei wanted to try the things she wasn't able to do when she was on earth.
However, looking around at the kitchen. She realized there were no main ingredients at all!
Since there was no fridge, Xiao Hu stored all the meat inside his storage ring. Furthermore, the Blue Nest Palace had been unoccupied for decades which was why the food stocks distributed by Sect didn't reach the Blue Nest Palace.
Lin Mei wouldn't give up just like that. It was almost evening, Xiao Yun also needed to eat.
"Little Yun, I'll be right back."
This time, Lin Mei quickly used her ability to levitate herself and dashed through the Blue Lake Pavilion.
'Perhaps there's the main food storage' Lin Mei thought as she searched around the Blue Nest Palace.
Traversing the main hallway, Lin Mei suddenly found the smell of food being cooked! She followed the direction and arrived at the Blue Nest Palace Hall Main Kitchen. Lin Mei noticed dozens of blue robe servants cleaning and cooking food!
"Respected lord! the leave the kitchen to us!" The servant bowed to a certain figure who wore a blue-robed with dragon design.
"Good! Keep it up."
Lin Mei quickly recognized the man. It was no other than Master Yi Sun!
Master Yi Sun who was gone the whole day was actually recruiting servants for his run-down Palace!
Furthermore, he wanted skillful eunuchs that's why he went out himself! Today, he successfully recruited a kitchen staff and a few chefs he bought within the jade city. However, he still needed a maintenance team and the houseworkers! Plus, the pavilions personal servants. Master Yi Sun still had a lot to do to keep his palace running.
"Ho, you are?" Having noticed the beautiful Lin Mei, Master Yi Sun asked.
Lin Mei who was already prepared clasped her hand forward and gracefully bowed.
"This servant greets respected lord"
The born talented Lin Mei adaptability and quick thinking were superb. She noticed how the servant earlier greeted Master Yi Sun and imitated him!
"And?" Master Yi Sun looked at Lin Mei from head to toe. With her unique 'high school' outfit, he had an idea that this was the rumored humanoid summon of his disciple.
Earlier, when Master Yi Sun returned to the sect, the guards were suddenly more respectful to him!
Even the disciples coming from the academy was now worshipping him trying to gain his good side!
Soon, Master Yi Sun finally found out that his newly appointed disciple had a humanoid summon! Furthermore, people believed it was gifted by him!
Master Yi Sun was stunned. 'What the!?'
He managed to keep calm in front of the academy student and went along with it.
'Just when did little Hu manage to tame this mysterious summon?' 'A test perhaps'
"This servant came from blue lake pavilion looking for food."
"I see—"
Lin Mei suddenly felt Master Yi Sun's killing intent! A sword came out of Master Yi Sun's palm and lunged forward to Lin Mei!
'Not good!' Lin Mei quickly made a step back to avoid the flying sword but it still followed her!
With its Legendary Spirit Energy, she knew she couldn't control the sword with her mind! There was a huge gap!
This time, Lin Mei managed to summon her enchanted wand and instantly cast a spell!
Redirection!
The flying sword that was about to stab Lin Mei's heart made a drift upwards piercing the ceiling!
Master Yi Sun felt he momentarily lose control of the Unbending Lake Sword!
"Enough." Master Yi Sun announced as the sword returned to his hand.
The kitchen staff was also amazed at the battle! Some were their first time seeing a real battle. They began to respect the beautiful lady who defended herself from the lord!
"Alright, continue working now! I'm getting hungry! And you, take the food to your master."
Master Yi Sun reminded the kitchen staff before he pointed at the round tray filled with food. He was about to ask a servant to take it to the Blue Lake Pavilion but the humanoid summon appeared.
Lin Mei slowly lifted a tray with her mind while being cautious to Master Yi Sun.
'Hmm, such a mysterious technique.' Master Yi Sun saw the tray moved to own its own. He couldn't help but mused.
As soon as the tray reached her side, she quickly bid farewell.
"This servant thanks respected lord."
After the girl left, Master Yi Sun complexion turned serious. Similar to its master, its spirit energy was just Golden Spirit Early Stage! However, to think that it could empower herself to Golden Spirit Late Stage and deflect his sword imbued by his Legendary Spirit Late Stage Energy. Master Yi Sun was alarmed! Little Hu would soar great heights with that summon on his side! Anyone would be filled with envy. However, for now, as a master, he could only get onto his disciple good side and nourished him well. Until then, Master Yi Sun suddenly made a malicious smile.

Blue Lake Pavilion
"Big Sister you came back!" Xiao Yun happily greeted Lin Mei.
"Un! Guess what! I brought food! ~" Lin Mei gracefully strolled toward Xiao Yun and placed the tray on the table.
There were plain boiled chicken and a lot of pickled vegetables.
Although the food she brought wasn't as tasty as Xiao Hu's cooking. Still, it could ease their hunger.
Furthermore, it was the moment Lin Mei experienced eating food for the first time! She was ecstatic.
"Mmmh!"
"Big sister, are you going to stay with big brother?" Xiao Yun was observing Lin Mei for a while. She hasn't found the food tasty yet Lin Mei was still happy with it. The woman in front of her was just as likable as she was. Xiao Yun remembered she said she was his big brother's wife and asked.
"Un!" Lin Mei nodded as she chewed the chicken meat.
"Are you really my big sister?" Xiao Yun was subconsciously getting closer to Lin Mei as she asked.
"Un!" Lin Mei once again agreed as she chewed the pickled veggie.
"Then!" Xiao Yun suddenly hugged the unbearably adorable Lin Mei.
"Please don't leave me…" Xiao Yun once again felt her mother's hug on Lin Mei's bosom. She felt so much comfort and didn't want to let go. Soon, tears flowed into her eyes as she sobbed. For a young girl who was left with no one aside from her brother. Xiao Yun was never at ease. She was scared that her brother might disappear one day. However, now that Lin Mei was there, Xiao Yun was able to feel a little assurance.
On the other hand, Lin Mei stopped eating and gently hugged Xiao Yun. "It's alright."
When the sobbing stopped, she realized Xiao Yun already fell asleep.
It was only then, she whispered,
"I won't."
