When the trio walked out of the Demon Spirit Realm, Li Mengnan was in a daze, looking as if she were overwhelmed by happiness.

You could tell from her demeanor that the Yan Organization had succeeded in acquiring their goods!

This time, not only was Du Yu acting as the matchmaker, but Lin Shiwei's beloved pet, Bai Lu, also played a role.

Under Bai Lu's playful deer calls, a tall yet slender young doe slowly stepped forward.

Those who understand, understand...

Li Mengnan treasured the newly acquired Dust Spirit Deer immensely and only when she got in the off-road vehicle did she allow herself to take it out and admire it closely.

The off-road vehicle was spacious, but the Celestial Peak Dust Spirit Deer still couldn't stand, so it had to curl up awkwardly on the floor, curiously observing its surroundings.

The Dust Spirit Deer needed to gradually adapt to everything in the human world.

And regarding the girl in front of her...

After all, the characteristics of the Dust Spirit Deer were apparent, whether there was a contract or not, she could clearly feel the girl's heartfelt affection!

Sincere, pure.

Of course, countless people in this world love Dust Spirit Deer, but the real question is how the Dust Spirit Deer perceives humans.

This Dust Spirit Deer didn't dislike Li Mengnan.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be enough for the Dust Spirit Deer to contract with the girl.

But with the help of Du Yu and Bai Lu, after hesitating several times, this Dust Spirit Deer was willing to see the world outside.

Hmm... to see it together with Bai Lu.

"You're truly beautiful," Li Mengnan murmured softly, her eyes sparkling with little stars.

"Nai~" The Dust Spirit Deer wasn't aloof and slightly leaned its snow-white antlers forward to nudge Li Mengnan's cheek.

Suddenly, flowers with an iridescent hue quietly bloomed, exuding a subtle fragrance, lingering in the off-road vehicle.

Anyone witnessing such a scene would feel happiness.

Lin Shiwei wore a smile as she drove onto the highway, occasionally glancing at the master and pet in the back through the rearview mirror.

Du Yu watched silently for a while, then leaned forward and touched the magical colorful flowers on the antlers: "Mengnan, you have to give her a fitting name.

Don't choose something like Wind Witch; it doesn't fit an Immortal Deer."

"Mm-hmm!" Li Mengnan nodded enthusiastically, "Let's brainstorm together."

Li Mengnan stroked the Dust Spirit Deer's snow-white fur, her fingertips tracing the pale white patterns, growing happier with each stroke.

Du Yu chuckled, "Send her back to the Acupoint Home; it's uncomfortable for her to be curled up."

Li Mengnan obediently withdrew the Beautiful Immortal Deer into her body, leaving the backseat empty.

"Hmm..." The girl felt a rush of Wind Demon Breath fill her, letting out a comfortable sigh.

It was a while before she opened her eyes, gripping the two front seats with each hand, leaning forward: "Thank you, Second Brother and Third Sister, today's a dream come true for me!"

Du Yu slightly tilted his head, "Let me see if you have a snot bubble."

"Get lost." Li Mengnan spat lightly, pushing Du Yu's face back with one hand.

Lin Shiwei: "We should often summon the Dust Spirit Deer, let them be together. I feel like your Dust Spirit Deer seems to fancy my Bai Lu."

"I feel the same." Excited, Li Mengnan immediately continued, "Should we give it a name in the same style as Bai Lu, a couple's name?"

"Of course, that's a great idea," Lin Shiwei said after pondering, "Cold Frost?"

"Sounds nice." Li Mengnan was quite pleased, turning to Du Yu, "Second Brother, what do you think?"

Du Yu nodded in agreement, "Bai Lu Cold Frost, definitely sounds like a couple's name."

Lin Shiwei smiled, glancing at Du Yu, "You come up with something too, don't always think of getting by like last time."

Du Yu turned his gaze out the window, what do you want me to say?

Reeds? Yiren?

Such a Dust Spirit Immortal Deer, paired with the hazy lover across the water, symbolizing this beautiful longing, couldn't be more fitting.

The names are indeed nice, but in your eyes, they wouldn't pair with Bai Lu.

"Second Brother, Second Brother." Li Mengnan leaned closer, "You gave Senior Brother Fu and his Pear Blossom Fox such a beautiful name, come up with one for my Dust Spirit Deer too."

Du Yu hesitated for a moment, then uttered, "Yiren."

"One person?" Li Mengnan blinked, "A person? But mine's a deer?"

Du Yu: "..."

The distance from Ancient Pine Tower to the provincial city Bohai is over 300 kilometers; driving would take about 3 to 4 hours.

At 1 PM, the vehicle finally drove into the East City Suburb of Bohai City.

Following the GPS, Lin Shiwei arrived at the designated school check-in location, the Bohai East City Third Demon Spirit Realm.

Before even reaching the parking lot, the three in the car were dumbstruck.

Because here tree walls soared high, forming a hemisphere, enveloping the entire realm.

Lush and impenetrable.

For other students, they might think the Demon Spirit Bookstore went all out, completely sealing off the exam venue.

But for the trio, they couldn't help being reminded of their ordeal in Shiyan City!

That Demon Spirit Realm, completely engulfed by cold fog.

In that disaster, the trio was trapped, struggling desperately to survive.

"Shiwei, eyes on the road." Du Yu suddenly said.

"Oh... oh." Lin Shiwei immediately came back to her senses, gripping the steering wheel tightly and slowly pulling over to the roadside.

A staff member with a badge on the chest strode toward the vehicle, knocking on the window, "Are you students participating in the provincial joint exam?"

"Yes, there are three of us, from the Ancient Pine Tower Demon Spirit Academy."

"Let me see your IDs."

The trio handed over their IDs, glancing thoughtfully at the tree wall outside the window.

Honestly, they already had a psychological shadow.

The world shrouded in cold fog was so oppressive that it left people in despair! No one would ever want to go through such a catastrophe again.

"Alright, you can go in now."

"Mm." Lin Shiwei took a deep breath and drove towards the entrance of the Demon Pet Center.

There were many buses in the parking lot, indicating that numerous academies had already organized their students' arrival.

Tomorrow is the actual registration date, and it's clear that demon spirit academies across the province are taking this joint exam very seriously.

A total of 13 universities participated in the joint exam, but if subdivided, the students come from over 60 institutions.

It's worth noting that Ancient Pine Tower City alone has 1 Demon Spirit Academy and 2 branch academies.

The two branches are located in cities and counties under Ancient Pine Tower, namely Ancient Pine Tower Demon Spirit Academy-Shiyan Branch, and Ancient Pine Tower Demon Spirit Academy-Sanlin Branch.

In name, they are branches, but both institutions are quite independent and aren't shy about vying for students when necessary...

However, within the city's jurisdiction, the three academies compete with each other. Now that they are outside the city, can't they work together?

Du Yu had great faith in the strength of the students from the Shiyan and Sanlin branches.

Because the bookstore allocated 100 slots to Ancient Pine Tower, and when these slots reach the two branches, they would be reduced by at least half, wouldn't they?

The fewer the slots, the fiercer the competition. Is there any doubt about the ability of the students representing the branches in the joint exam?

"Let's go." Lin Shiwei got out of the car, and after taking just two steps, felt the phone in her pocket vibrate.

She took out her phone, raised her eyebrows slightly, and answered the call: "Xiaoyi?"

Both Du Yu and Li Mengnan halted in their tracks. Master Qing?

"Mm, I just arrived. Did you see me?" Lin Shiwei looked to the right side of the Demon Pet Center building, where the hotel section was.

Du Yu also glanced over, his keen eyes spotting an open window and a girl waving her hand.

Lin Shiyi?

A flood of memories rushed to him, recalling that he hadn't seen this gentle girl since the rookie training camp ended.

"Lin Shiyi, huh." Li Mengnan looked at the familiar figure with a slightly odd expression, full of intrigue.

It seemed she remembered how Sea King Yan had subdued both Lin Shiyi and herself...

"Okay, I'll come to your room later." Lin Shiwei hung up the phone and led the two into the Demon Pet Center.

At that moment, many students in the lobby were chatting, but as Du Yu's group entered, they naturally drew attention.

Their attire was particularly uniform, all wearing pitch-black high-collared Black Rock Tree coats, and the two women's stunning looks caused the lobby to fall into a slight hush...

Du Yu felt a bit uncomfortable, regretting not wearing a hat. Should he summon Little Tai Sui and wear it as a hat?

Hmm... Doing that might just blow up the lobby!

The trio quickly checked in and swiftly left this place of trouble.

Only when inside the elevator did Du Yu let out a sigh of relief.

"Which floors are you all staying on?" Li Mengnan asked, as the accommodation was arranged by the bookstore, so room selection was not possible.

"11th floor."

"7th floor."

Lin Shiwei: "Shall we go out for a bite later?"

"Alright, I'll put my stuff down first and we'll contact by phone." Du Yu nodded, stepping out as the elevator door opened.

7023.

Du Yu remembered the room number, found it, and just as he swiped his card, he heard the sound of a door opening from his side.

Turning his head, Du Yu's face froze in surprise.

The young man who stepped out of the opening door was also staring blankly at Du Yu: "You are...?"

"Huh?" Du Yu frowned slightly, feeling like he had seen this handsome guy somewhere before.

"Yes! It's you!" The handsome guy suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and pointed at Du Yu, "It's you, you tricked me horribly!"

Du Yu finally remembered!

This guy seemed to be called An Ran?

Back when he had just graduated from novice training camp, this guy happened to be enrolling and even specifically asked about Elder Gong as a newbie teacher, right?

An Ran stepped forward aggressively: "Don't run!"

Feeling something was off, Du Yu quickly walked into his room: "I, um, need to go to the bathroom urgently!"

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut, followed almost immediately by the sound of a palm hitting it: "The world is vast and we'll meet again, won't we?

You told me the instructor Gong was nice? I just smiled at him, and he nearly skinned me alive!"

Hearing the voice full of resentment, Du Yu shrank his head in fright.

Things change so quickly~

Goodbye, now we've become enemies...

"Haha!" A hearty laugh came from inside the room, a tall young man looking at Du Yu, "Finally caught you!"

Oh ho, another familiar face?

Isn't this the young man who blocked the door during the Bottomless Pit assessment?

What was his name again?

The young man stepped forward boldly, extending a hand: "Ancient Pine Tower, Hu Haobin."

Du Yu shook hands amicably with him: "Du Yu."

"Haha!" Hu Haobin laughed and nodded, "Perfect, I'll just stick with you now!"

Outside, An Ran's voice could be heard: "Du Fish? Your name is Du Fish?"

Du Yu glanced at Hu Haobin: "Go on, little brother, your big brother here is being blocked at the door!"

Hu Haobin: "..."
