On the street, people were eagerly discussing the final match of the 27th round.
"The last round is today. Shrek Academy is going up against Skywater Academy. I heard Shrek Academy has won 27 consecutive matches, while Skywater Academy has lost three out of their 27 games."
"No way! Shrek actually pulled off a perfect streak in the preliminaries? That hasn't happened in years!"
"Yeah, they have three Spirit Kings, five Spirit Masters, and even their substitutes are close to level 40. A team like that is unheard of in the preliminaries. Looks like Shrek has a real shot at bringing the championship back to our empire."
"Don't be so sure. Did you forget about Spirit Hall Academy? But man, Shrek Academy is insanely strong. Won't those beauties from Skywater Academy get wrecked?"
"Right? Skywater Academy only admits female students, and they all have to be gorgeous. It hurts to even think about them getting beaten up."
The streets buzzed with excitement as everyone chatted about the upcoming match.
As Ye Feng walked along, a sudden gust of wind brought someone to his side, patting him on the shoulder. It was Feng Xiaotian, the guy who had a thing for Huo Wu.
"Brother Ye, today's the last round. You guys better go all out," Feng Xiaotian said.
Liu Erlong crossed her arms. "Since you're so eager to meet us in the finals, don't go losing before then."
"Oh?" Feng Xiaotian shot Ye Feng a look. As a man, he had to admit—Ye Feng managing to tame the fiery Liu Erlong was something to respect. With a hint of sarcasm, he said thoughtfully, "So, your goal is to take the championship?"
"Isn't that the goal of Godwind Academy?" Liu Erlong shot back.
"Not really. Who wants to go head-to-head with Spirit Hall? We're all just praying we don't run into them too early. Anyway, I gotta go." With that, Feng Xiaotian and his teammates walked off.
Liu Erlong watched him leave, frowning. "Why does he always come to talk to us before every match?"
"Didn't he mention before that we shouldn't lose too early? Otherwise, Huo Wu might marry someone else. From that, it's pretty obvious—Huo Wu must have promised him that if he defeats us, or me, she'd agree to marry him."
"Huh? Using marriage as a bet?" Liu Erlong stared at Ye Feng, dumbfounded.
"Yeah." Ye Feng nodded.
She suddenly narrowed her eyes at him. "Ye Feng, tell me the truth. Have you been messing around again?"
Ye Feng smirked. "What? You wanna teach me a lesson?"
Liu Erlong immediately waved her hands. "No, no. I was just asking... do you have feelings for Huo Wu?"
"I wouldn't say I like her. But I gotta admit, she's as fiery as a chili pepper—definitely unique. And considering she's Feng Xiaotian's dream girl... well, taking her would be one hell of a power move."
"Hah? So... you like stealing other guys' women?"
"Mm?"
Liu Erlong's expression darkened. "Ye Feng, are you seriously into married women?"
Ye Feng chuckled, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Men love to conquer. Especially when it comes to women. There's nothing better than dumplings, and nothing more fun than a sister-in-law. That's just the way it is."
Liu Erlong was left speechless.
"Erlong, are you upset?" Ye Feng asked.
"Why would I be?"
"Because I like married women. And since you're with me, you'll end up having a lot of sisters in the future."
Liu Erlong gave a soft chuckle. "Ye Feng, you're something else. When you asked me to serve you, I already knew what kind of man you were. My best friends always say that for men, a wife isn't as exciting as a concubine, a concubine isn't as exciting as a mistress, and a mistress isn't as exciting as someone they can't have. It's all about the thrill. If I told you to only have me for the rest of your life, would you listen?"
"No."
"Exactly. Since I already know that, I've come to terms with it. As long as you have me in your heart, I'll be satisfied. But I do have one condition."
"What condition?"
"I don't care if you mess around outside. But any woman you bring home must have my approval. If I think her character isn't good, you have to make it official. If you just keep her on the side, I won't interfere. Even if she's a prostitute—if she has a good heart, I'll let you make her your concubine." Liu Erlong's voice was serious, revealing her true thoughts.
Her mother had been a prostitute. Because of that, the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had refused to let her father, Yu Luomian, acknowledge her mother. That was why Liu Erlong had taken her mother's surname instead of her father's. Because of her past, she held no prejudice against prostitutes.
"Erlong, you're amazing. If I didn't have you, my life would be a never-ending night." Ye Feng gripped her hands tightly, genuinely touched.
Liu Erlong looked at him with a sly smile. "Ye Feng, do you wanna cheat?"
"Cheat? I'm not short on money."
She rolled her eyes. "Not that kind of cheat. I mean... fool around with another woman."
"Oh. That?"
"Yeah." Liu Erlong nodded.
Ye Feng gasped in fake shock. "Oh my god, Erlong, are you serious? You're actually telling me to cheat?"
"Of course. And I want you to do me a favor while you're at it." Liu Erlong's tone was dead serious, not joking in the slightest.
"A favor? What does cheating have to do with helping?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, confused. Cheating meant playing with women—how was that considered helping?
Liu Erlong sighed. "I have a close friend. She's a legal wife—the wife of a marquis. By right, she should be living a glorious life. But after more than ten years of marriage, she still hasn't been able to have a child. She and her husband tried everything, but nothing worked. Her husband's younger brother has four sons, and her husband even married eight concubines, but none of them had children either. The palace claims they're cursed, but she confided in me that she suspects the problem lies with her husband."
Ye Feng instantly understood. He smirked. "So... you want me to help her have a kid?"
