Since Ruolin had given the order to leave, Ding Shuang felt embarrassed to stay any longer and could only hesitantly walk out. Reaching the door, she glanced back at Ruolin, still somewhat unwilling to give up, and said, “Professor Ruolin, is it really impossible to discuss this any further?”

“No means no. You should leave,” Ruolin said, shaking her head.

Ding Shuang had no choice but to leave, closing the door behind her. Just as the door was about to close, Ruolin spoke up, “Wait a minute!”

Ding Shuang was secretly delighted. Was this going to work out? He originally intended to leave the room first, thinking that perhaps Instructor Ruolin would be unable to resist masturbating. He could then suddenly appear and take her down. But Ruolin called him back.

Ding Shuang immediately opened the door, only to find that Ruolin’s complexion was better than before. She was taken aback; what was going on?

Ruolin gradually suppressed the restlessness in her heart, but she could not completely control it. Her water-based cultivation technique could be completely suppressed if she could find a pool of water.

Ruolin asked, “Xiao Yan, um~ does the Xiao family have a deep pool? I’d like to cultivate there.”

Ding Shuang was taken aback, then a plan came to mind. She nodded and said, “There are some on the back mountain. I’ll take you there.”

Ding Shuang led Ruolin to the back mountain. Several times, Ding Shuang wanted to push Ruolin down, but he restrained himself. He didn’t know how much strength Ruolin possessed; the difference between them was too great, and perhaps a single blow could kill him. Ding Shuang dared not gamble.

Once the primordial desire is fully ignited, it cannot be stopped and will not extinguish itself until an hour later. The primordial desire has been burning for more than half an hour. Ding Shuang led her into a forest, where Ruolin could already hear the sound of water. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was a hot spring.

Ruolin asked anxiously, “I told you to take me to the deep pool, why did you bring me to the hot springs?”

Ding Shuang pretended not to notice Ruolin’s anxious look, and instead pulled Ruolin’s hand toward the hot spring, saying as they walked, “What’s so good about a deep pool? Come on, Instructor Ruolin, cultivating in a hot spring is the most comfortable. The water-based cultivators of the Xiao family all cultivate here. Xiao Yu also often cultivates here.”

Ding Shuang was right; hot springs were indeed a good place for water-based cultivators, but Ruolin wasn’t there for cultivation. The moment Ding Shuang pulled her, Ruolin almost couldn’t suppress the desire within her. To forcefully suppress the heat in her body, she was dragged forward a dozen steps by Ding Shuang, and the closer they got to the hot spring, the harder it was to control herself. Ruolin could only be dragged by Ding Shuang all the way to the edge of the hot spring.

In truth, Ruolin didn’t need to search for any deep pool; she only needed to endure for an hour, and her desire would dissipate on its own. But Ruolin didn’t know this! Instead, she fell into the trap Ding Shuang had hastily set for her. Ding Shuang gently patted Ruolin and said, “I’ve brought you to the place. Instructor Ruolin, you should start cultivating now.”

When Ding Shuang gently patted Ruolin, she suddenly felt her legs give way and fell into the hot spring. Ding Shuang, seeing Ruolin enter the spring, unaware that she had fallen due to leg weakness, assumed his plan had failed again. He could only wave to Ruolin in the spring and say, “Instructor Ruolin, please continue your cultivation. I’ll be leaving now.”

“Don’t go~” a murmur came from the hot spring. “Don’t go~ okay?”

Ding Shuang turned back; he had already taken a few steps. Reaching the hot spring, he saw Ruolin in the water. The hot spring water completely soaked Ruolin’s clothes, clinging alluringly to her delicate body. Ruolin’s looks and figure fulfilled all of Ding Shuang’s fantasies about mature women! He almost couldn’t resist pouncing on her, but seeing that Ruolin’s expression wasn’t entirely consumed by desire, he forcibly restrained himself.

Ding Shuang asked Ruolin, “Instructor Ruolin, is there anything else you need?”

“Please… um… please carry me out, okay?” Ruolin looked at Ding Shuang with a pleading expression.

“This isn’t appropriate, men and women shouldn’t touch each other,” Ding Shuang said, feigning embarrassment. “Besides, Instructor Ruolin, don’t you think you’re practically naked right now?”

Upon hearing this, Ruolin looked down and saw that she was completely soaked. Her wet clothes clung tightly to her delicate body, and in many places, they were transparent, even revealing the two small pink nipples on her chest. In that instant, Ruolin could no longer suppress the primal desire within her and erupted, half-dazed and half-awake, saying to Ding Shuang, “Get down quickly, hold me~ ah~”

Ding Shuang leaped into the hot spring, embracing Ruolin from behind, his arm intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her soft breasts. This caused Ruolin to gasp softly. Ding Shuang felt his plan had succeeded; how could Ruolin, a powerful water-type master, be unable to even climb out of a pool?

Ding Shuang pretended to push Ruolin onto the shore, supporting her buttocks with one hand. By sheer coincidence, his fingers slipped between Ruolin’s thighs, causing her to go limp and fall sideways into the hot spring. Ding Shuang feigned a hasty rescue, his hands seemingly naturally cupping Ruolin’s breasts.

After being teased by Ding Shuang several times, Ruolin finally broke down and began to moan softly. Ding Shuang kneaded Ruolin’s breasts while rubbing his already erect penis between her buttocks.

“Mmm~ So good~ Mmm~ So comfortable~ Mmm~”

“Professor Ruolin, would you like to be more comfortable?”

“Mmm~ I want to~ Mmm~ I want to feel more comfortable~”

Upon hearing Ruolin’s reply, Ding Shuang carried her to a shallow, near-shore area. He undressed Ruolin and removed her underwear. He had her stand in the water and lie on the bank, then began rubbing his glans against her labia and clitoris.

Ruolin lay on the shore, enjoying Ding Shuang’s services, her moans gradually growing louder.

“Ahhh~ That feels so good~ Even better than before~ Mmm~ Lin’er~ Ah~ Lin’er wants it to feel even better~ Ahhh~”

Seeing that the time was right, Ding Shuang gently inserted himself into Ruolin’s virgin vagina, and a splash of crimson spread out in the water.

Ding Shuang loved Ruolin’s moans during sex; she truly was a gentle and tender woman, even her moans were so soft. Ding Shuang felt as if she were melting into Ruolin’s gentle moans.

After a brief silence, Ding Shuang and Ruolin lay on the shore, both looking exhausted. Ding Shuang decided to avoid doing it in the water in the future; the resistance was too great and it was too strenuous. Ruolin wondered how she could have seduced her student. Had she become mentally disturbed from being a virgin for so long?

Seeing that Ding Shuang remained silent, Ruolin thought for a moment and spoke first, “Xiao Yan, I want to ask you for a favor. Please, please don’t tell anyone what happened tonight.”

Ding Shuang nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Instructor Ruolin, I will definitely not tell anyone about what happened tonight.”

Ruolin’s expression softened slightly as she asked, “Why did you take a year off?”

“For a promise,” Ding Shuang replied.

Seeing that Ding Shuang didn’t continue, Ruolin knew that Ding Shuang didn’t want to talk about this matter, so she stopped asking and agreed to Ding Shuang’s leave request, “I agree to your leave request, as long as you come to the academy within a year.”

Ding Shuang was slightly embarrassed and said, “Professor Ruolin, I’m sorry, I lied before. Actually, I need to take more than a year off; it will take at least two years.”

Ruolin smiled and said, “Two years it is then. I’ll try my best to hold out for you. The holiday will end whenever you return to the academy.”

In fact, Ruolin did not want Ding Shuang to be away for so long, but the shameless Ding Shuang used soul control to make Ruolin agree to his request for leave.

Ding Shuang continued to use soul control, saying, “Mentor Ruolin, there’s one more thing I need your help with. It’s like this…”

After listening to Ding Shuang’s request, Ruolin smiled gently and said, “This is very simple. Just set a date and tell me. Now let’s plan out the specifics of how to do it…”

After their conversation, the two left the back mountain and returned to their respective residences. What Ding Shuang didn’t know was that, through his abuse of soul control, he had completely taken control of Ruolin.

Seven days later, Canaan Academy’s enrollment in Wutan City concluded, and Ruolin led a group of students to return to Canaan. Ding Shuang also came to bid farewell to everyone. Apart from the Xiao family, the others only knew that this genius had actually requested a year-long leave from Instructor Ruolin.

After completing Ruolin’s mission, Ding Shuang accumulated enough for a 10-pull in the Platinum pool. Since the Platinum pool wasn’t empty, Ding Shuang drew ten rewards.

Ding Shuang bought a Grade E gold nail clipper, which was described as being made of pure gold. She thought to herself, “Damn it!” and melted it down for money with tears in her eyes.

The four D-grade rewards included three cultivation techniques: one wind, one water, and one metal, all of high-level Earth rank, corresponding to Xiao Mei, Xiao Yu, and Ya Fei respectively. Ding Shuang planned to save them to give to the three women when they parted. There was also a D-grade storage ring, though its space was somewhat limited.

Ding Shuang decided to save the C-level skill upgrade card for later use, as it could only upgrade the D-level Appraisal skill at the moment.

Two B-level skills, one of which is B-level cooking. Ding Shuang had previously thought all skills were three-character names, so drawing a two-character skill this time felt like a slap in the face from the system. (System: What’s it to me? It’s clearly the stupid author who couldn’t think of a three-character skill name!)

Another skill drove Ding Shuang a little crazy: B-rank Staff Control Technique. What is Staff Control Technique? It’s the ability to control staff-like objects remotely. What’s B-rank? It means you can control 50 staffs! What the hell is Staff Control Technique?! When Ding Shuang first acquired this skill, he casually picked up a staff to test its power, only to find that he couldn’t control it remotely, so he asked the system what was wrong.

“Host, what you’re holding is a stick, not a club, so you can’t control it.”

“Holy crap? What’s the difference? Why bother with such a detailed distinction?”

“Host, a staff is a cylindrical weapon of uniform thickness, while a rod is uneven in shape and often comes with attachments. Your lack of knowledge is your problem, please don’t blame the skill.”

“That vibrating rod is great too. Could I control 50 vibrating rods to kill enemies?”

“Host, you can control 50 vibrating rods, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can kill the enemy?”

Damn it! If you can’t speak properly, then shut the hell up!

“So, does that mean I can control 50 Koreans?”

“Host, that’s an insulting nickname, and people aren’t objects. Why don’t you control the spiked club? It’s quite powerful. Why are you always thinking about those strange things? Should we help you shut up your imagination?”

Ding Shuang was speechless after being criticized by the system, but it seemed that it really was because her imagination was too wild.

Ding Shuang won two Platinum A-level prizes in this lottery. One was a guaranteed prize: a “Never Get Drunk” experience card, which allows her to drink without getting drunk for three days. She doesn’t need it yet, so she’ll keep it for now. The other was an A-level skill, Driving Skill, which allows her to perfectly drive all vehicles in the world, including… well, let’s just say it includes various animals, but only those animals must be tamed; this skill doesn’t have a taming function.

The instructors and students of Canaan Academy gathered outside the city, and many people came to see them off. Ding Shuang called Xiao Xun’er and the other two girls aside and whispered, “Xun’er, Mei’er, and Sister Xiao Yu, you go to Canaan Academy and wait for me. I will come to find you after I complete the three-year agreement.”

The three women nodded, and Xiao Mei joked, “Cousin, don’t come alone, bring Nalan Yanran with you.”

Ding Shuang glared at Xiao Mei. That’s the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect! Me, taking her away? Will she even make it to Canaan Academy alive? Xiao Mei saw Ding Shuang glare at her, shrank back in fright, and playfully stuck out her tongue.

Ding Shuang ignored Xiao Mei and took out a storage ring, saying to Xiao Yu, “Sister Xiao Yu, you are the eldest of the three and you are more familiar with the academy. Please take good care of these two. There are two cultivation techniques in this storage ring, one wind attribute and one water attribute, both of which are high-level earth-rank techniques.”

Upon hearing Ding Shuang mention the level of the cultivation technique, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei gaped in disbelief. Xun’er, however, asked with a smile, “Who gave it to you?”

Ding Shuang knew that Xun’er had guessed that she had a powerful backer, so she nodded and said, “Yes. I know that your family is wealthy and you lack nothing, so I didn’t prepare anything for you.”

Xiao Xun’er shook her head and said, “Xun’er doesn’t want anything, as long as Brother Xiao Yan is safe and sound.”

Ding Shuang kissed Xun’er’s cheek and then said to Xiao Yu, “Instructor Ruolin is also of the water attribute. Find an opportunity to teach Instructor Ruolin water attribute techniques as well.” Xiao Yu looked at Ding Shuang with a strange expression when she heard her words.

Ding Shuang remained calm and composed, continuing, “Please ask Instructor Ruolin to take good care of you and the Xiao family at the academy.”

Xiao Yu was somewhat skeptical of Ding Shuang’s nonsense, but she couldn’t see anything unusual about him. Just then, a call to assemble and depart rang out. Ding Shuang hugged the three women one by one and parted ways with them.

Ding Shuang returned to Wutan City and went directly to the Mittel Auction House, where he met Ya Fei and handed her the advanced metal-attribute cultivation technique. Ya Fei, holding the technique Ding Shuang gave her, knew he was leaving and asked, “Have Xun’er and the others left?”

Ding Shuang nodded and replied, “Yes, I just saw them off. They went to Canaan Academy to wait for me.”

Yafei then asked, “When are you leaving?”

“I’ve come today to say goodbye, and I’m also preparing to depart today,” Ding Shuang replied.

“Have a safe journey and be careful.” Ya Fei took the initiative to hug Ding Shuang and buried Ding Shuang’s face in her chest.

Ding Shuang suffocated, the end of the series!
