Chapter 36 Shrek's Back-to-School Season
Shrek City, at the entrance of Shrek Academy, was bustling with activity. Most of the people in the crowd today were students; it was the start of the school year.
However, today is the last day for registration, and there are still two hours left before the registration ends.
"Xiao, hurry up, we're going to be late for the report." Jiang Nannan said somewhat impatiently, pulling Ye Nanxiao toward Yu Chu's office.
"You naughty fox, you made me stay up so late last night, I was almost late." Although she was complaining in her heart, the smile on her pretty face was very bright, showing that Jiang Nannan was in a very good mood.
Ye Nanxiao was led forward by Jiang Nannan, looking relaxed and carefree, not caring at all about being late.
Shrek Academy was bustling with activity, filled with crowds. Every boy's face was beaming with the excitement of starting school, whether from seeing friends or the girl he liked.
Looking at the lively scene around him, Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but sigh, "This back-to-school season is different from what I imagined."
After sighing, Ye Nanxiao suddenly saw a girl running towards him, waving and greeting him as she ran. The girl had a very pretty smile on her face.
Her energetic ponytail swayed, and the smile on her pretty face drew the attention of passing boys. This girl was none other than Tang Ya.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to wave hello.
"Nanxiao, Nannan, long time no see!" Tang Ya ignored Ye Nanxiao who was greeting her and threw herself into Jiang Nannan's arms.
Jiang Nannan smiled and caught Tang Ya, leaving the fox standing aside as the two beautiful girls interacted.
Beibei, who arrived later, smiled as she looked at Ye Nanxiao's somewhat embarrassed expression and walked over to him.
Beibei greeted Ye Nanxiao, "Long time no see, Nanxiao, how have you been?"
Ye Nanxiao stared with dead fish eyes and said, "It seems alright."
Her eyes were fixed on Tang Ya, filled with deep resentment. "That's my Nan Nan, Tang Ya, go away!"
The new students at Shrek Academy have all enrolled, while the other grades are all facing upcoming promotion exams.
The reporting session will start in the morning and continue until the afternoon. If you miss the reporting time, it's up to your homeroom teacher.
Tang Ya stretched, then tightened her grip on Jiang Nannan's arm and leaned towards Ye Nanxiao, asking, "Nanxiao, did you find any talent for us?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, took Jiang Nannan's free small hand in his large hand, and replied, "Found him. He should be among the next freshmen."
Tang Ya looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was holding Jiang Nannan's hand tightly, rolled her eyes, and asked with a chuckle, "Is it a boy or a girl? I prefer Junior Sister."
Ye Nanxiao felt the small hand he was holding tremble slightly. Seeing Jiang Nannan turn to look at him, he quickly said, "No, no, no, it's a boy, a talented junior brother."
"Hey~ when are you going to recruit some junior sisters?" Tang Ya blinked her bright eyes at Ye Nanxiao, while Bei Bei, standing to the side, helplessly hugged Tang Ya back into her arms.
A passerby turned to his companion and asked, "Hey bro, are we going to eat later?"
The passerby's companion, his face ashen, replied, "We're not eating anymore, let's go cultivate!"
The group left Shrek Academy, intending to have lunch outside the academy before returning. Every year during the start of the school season, Shrek City holds events, and every restaurant in the city is packed. The four of them wandered around for a long time but couldn't find a restaurant with any seats available.
"There are so many people." Tang Ya rubbed her tummy and leaned her head on Bei Bei's shoulder, complaining.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly spotted a splash of fiery red in the crowd, then quickly turned around and pulled Jiang Nannan and Tang Yabeibei, saying, "Let's go, there are too many people up ahead, should we go back?"
"Hey, are we eating in the cafeteria again when school starts?" Tang Ya still wanted to explore Shrek City properly.
The fiery red figure saw Ye Nanxiao preparing to run away and flashed in front of him.
Feeling the intense heat hitting him, Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched slightly. He quickly put on a standard, harmless smile and greeted her warmly, "Long time no see, Sister Xiaotao. You have so much free time today."
Ma Xiaotao didn't expose Ye Nanxiao's lie, and laughed, "Yeah, you have so much free time. Are you guys shopping?"
"No, we're just looking for a place to eat," Jiang Nannan said with a smile.
"There are just too many people," Beibei said helplessly. The four of them had been looking around for a long time but hadn't found a restaurant.
"Haha, let Sister Xiaotao take you to a great place!" Ma Xiaotao patted her chest, full of confidence. "You'll definitely love it!"
The group walked through the vast food court and arrived at a small restaurant that looked like a residential house on the north side of the square. The restaurant was also packed with people. From the outside, the restaurant looked very ordinary, but once inside, they discovered that it was a hidden gem with exquisite furnishings and small wooden partitions between each table, giving each table of guests their own private space.
"Welcome!" A still-attractive woman came up from behind the counter to greet everyone.
Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and affectionately took the beautiful woman's hand, saying, "Sister Yilan."
A beautifully sculpted little girl popped out from behind Yilan and called out in a sweet, childish voice, "Sister Xiaotao is here again."
"What an adorable little girl!" everyone exclaimed, especially Ye Nanxiao, who stared at the little girl intently, muttering to himself, "A daughter is wonderful, having a daughter is wonderful."
"I reckon you'll be a doting father to your daughter from now on." With her shared vision, Xue Di naturally knew that Ye Nanxiao's gaze was almost always fixed on the little girl.
Xue Di uttered a new term that perfectly describes Ye Nanxiao: "doting father."
"Little Peach, come here and let your big sister give you a hug." Ma Xiaotao bent down and hugged the little girl, pinching Little Peach's chubby little face. The two girls standing next to Ye Nanxiao and Beibei abandoned their boyfriends and surrounded her.
Ye Nanxiao and Beibei exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. However, Beibei was also somewhat tempted. Looking at the little girl, she nudged Ye Nanxiao's shoulder and said, "I think a daughter is a little better than a son."
Ye Nanxiao turned and patted Bei Bei on the shoulder, looking intently into Bei Bei's eyes. His clear eyes conveyed only one meaning: good brother!
"Xiao Tao's private room has been reserved. Please come and sit down." Yi Lan smiled and led everyone to a small room on the second floor called Starry Night.
The chairs in the small room matched the ceiling decorations.
The ceiling was magically transformed, resembling the night sky outside, with countless stars dotting the deep expanse, their twinkling light lending the entire room a dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere.
"Starry Night, what a captivating name," Ye Nanxiao exclaimed. Ma Xiaotao glanced at Ye Nanxiao smugly, "This name was chosen by Sister Xiaotao, isn't it beautiful?"
"Is it the same as before, Xiaotao?" Yilan served everyone the menu.
"I'll do it the same as always." Ma Xiaotao reached out and took the menu, then handed it to Ye Nanxiao.

After taking the menu, Ye Nanxiao handed it to Beibei, then took Jiang Nannan's small hand and helped her count the lines on her delicate hand.
Beibei glanced at Ye Nanxiao with a hint of helplessness. Being the meticulous person she was, Beibei naturally knew the preferences and dietary restrictions of Ye Nanxiao and his wife, and quickly ordered the dishes.
After Beibei ordered the food, Yilan took Xiaotaozi downstairs.
Ma Xiaotao suddenly asked, "How's your cultivation going? Sister Xiaotao is level 63 now!"
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ma Xiaotao indifferently and said, "Thirty-seven."
Jiang Nannan leaned on Ye Nanxiao's shoulder and smiled, "I'm only thirty-four."
Beibei smiled and said, "As expected of Nanxiao, I'm thirty-five."
Ye Nanxiao stared wide-eyed at Bei Bei, thinking, "You were that fast?"
Then Ye Nanxiao realized that Bei Bei should be about to awaken her bloodline, after all, as Mu Lao's only successor, Bei Bei's bloodline concentration was not low.
Tang Ya lay on the table, saying with a hint of resentment, "I'm only thirty-three, I'm so slow."
Tang Ya is now a core disciple, and she has many more cultivation resources than before. In addition, most of the affairs of the Tang Sect are handled by Ye Nanxiao. Whether it is cultivation or handling the Tang Sect's plans, Bei Bei helps her, so her cultivation speed is naturally much faster.
Ma Xiaotao fiddled with her hair and said casually, "My cultivation hasn't been going well lately, so I came out to treat myself to some good food." She then raised an eyebrow at Ye Nanxiao.
"This woman again?" Ye Nanxiao glanced at Jiang Nannan, who was staring blankly at the starry sky on the ceiling. After confirming that nothing was wrong, he glared at Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao was not to be outdone, and looked at Ye Nanxiao provocatively.
As the dishes were served one after another, while everyone was enjoying Yilan's culinary skills, Ye Nanxiao took the opportunity to pay the bill. After saying goodbye to Beibei, he pretended not to see Ma Xiaotao's somewhat dissatisfied expression and went shopping with Jiang Nannan.
Then Ye Nanxiao was captured by Ma Xiaotao upon his return, on the grounds of cultivation. Jiang Nannan was used to this, but still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Nannan, Nanxiao is a rare boy. There may be other girls in the future. If there are, the important thing is that you must hold on to your position as the first wife." Recalling the ideas Jiang Jia instilled in her before leaving, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but blush. But, would Ye Nanxiao really find other women?
The girl held the boy's large hand tightly, feeling its warmth.
Poseidon Island, Ma Xiaotao's training room.
"Hey Xiaotao, shouldn't we get some rest before the first day is even over?" Ye Nanxiao leaned against the wall, looking a bit helpless, while Ma Xiaotao across from him was rubbing her hands together, eager to get started.
"Hmm? Junior Brother Nanxiao, why don't you welcome Sister Xiaotao anymore after all this time?" Ma Xiaotao said through gritted teeth.
Ma Xiaotao had thought about going to see Ye Nanxiao during her vacation, but Ye Nanxiao had already left with Jiang Nannan. In the past twenty years, Ma Xiaotao had nothing but cultivation and good food. She missed the days she spent cultivating with Ye Nanxiao. This was the first time she had missed someone so much. When she saw Ye Nanxiao again today, she didn't care who was with him and flashed in front of him.
"Um, no, Sister Xiaotao, aren't we going to cultivate? Come on, I'm ready." Ye Nanxiao said with a sheepish smile, though there was a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.
Ma Xiaotao tapped Ye Nanxiao on the head, crossed her arms, and said, "Recently, for some reason, my lustful desires have intensified, so I had no choice but to come to you."
Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly. He remembered that the evil fire had been suppressed smoothly last time, so why was it stronger?
"Release a wisp of evil fire." Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his whole body exuded an extremely cold aura, his eyes gradually turned ice blue, and the temperature of the entire cultivation room suddenly dropped.
Ma Xiaotao's fire was not yet at its true peak. The sudden drop in temperature made her shiver. As her martial soul was attached to her, the phoenix wings behind Ma Xiaotao unfolded. Accompanied by a loud phoenix cry, wisps of flame emerged from Ma Xiaotao's hands, with a wisp of black flame clearly visible among them.
The instant Ma Xiaotao unleashed the evil fire, Ye Nanxiao's hand became as clear as jade, emitting an icy blue glow as he slowly approached the evil fire.
Sensing Ye Nanxiao's approach, the evil fire grew stronger in an instant. For a moment, the extreme cold in Ye Nanxiao's hand could not suppress the evil fire, and mist slowly filled the air above the cultivation room.
"You've seen the situation. Are you confident you can help me?" Ma Xiaotao withdrew her flames, looking at Ye Nanxiao with a hint of expectation in her eyes. As a descendant of the original Shrek Seven Devils, Ma Xiaotao was unwilling to stand still.
Ye Nanxiao remained silent for a while, actually communicating with Xue Di in his spiritual sea.
Ye Nanxiao asked somewhat seriously, "Xue'er, without your help, how long do you think I can suppress this?"
"I think you might not last more than a quarter of an hour, after all, your soul power is still too low." Xue Di said to Ye Nanxiao, "When you can fully absorb my power, you can suppress this little phoenix with a flick of your hand."
"Really? Didn't you say that Sister Peach's flames were almost at the pinnacle of fire?"
"That's close. If it really becomes the ultimate fire, then she'll probably be the one chasing after you and beating you up."
"Are you playing me?"
Ye Nanxiao raised his head, met Ma Xiaotao's expectant eyes, and sighed softly, "I'll try my best."
"Alright, if you can't hold on, go find Elder Xuan." Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Nanxiao seriously; she knew the power of her evil fire.
Ma Xiaotao sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. Ye Nanxiao did the same, and the flames and frost that gradually rose from their bodies began to collide.
"Xue'er, give it your all. I'm hoping to get out of here today," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
"Alright, alright, it's just a little phoenix." Xue Di waved her hand impatiently, shooing Ye Nanxiao out, and picked up the comic book that had appeared in her hand, looking at it with delight.
Ye Nanxiao was fully immersed in cultivation, radiating his own chill. Frost had already spread to Ma Xiaotao's front, and the evil fire remained undisturbed.
"This is a bit strange." Ye Nanxiao opened his eyes and saw Ma Xiaotao's flushed face, looking like she was in great pain. He knew something was wrong and quickly flashed in front of Ma Xiaotao, cupping her face with his black jade hands, which were covered in a trace of cold air.
"She's driven mad by lust; this girl might have to rely on herself." Xue Di looked at the dark circles under Ma Xiaotao's eyes.
Ye Nanxiao was somewhat annoyed. He hadn't expected that Xie Huo would be smarter this time and target Ma Xiaotao first.
However, Ye Nanxiao was wrong this time.
Ma Xiaotao found herself unable to calm down and enter a meditative state. She secretly opened her eyes and looked at Ye Nanxiao sitting opposite her. His overly handsome face was covered in frost, which was Ye Nanxiao's sweat frozen into ice. Slowly examining Ye Nanxiao's face along the lines of the frost, Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt a surge of irritation.
