Fei Huang’s public identity was the Dean of Dragon Martial Academy, but in secret she was the Grand Commander of the Hidden Dragon Guards, with cultivation at the Dominion Realm.
In the original novel, because of her immense strength and breathtaking beauty, she naturally became one of Chu Yun’s women.
Moreover, Fei Huang was a descendant of the Nine-Colored Blazing Heaven Phoenix and carried the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan.
Just like in other fantasy novels, Chu Yun repeatedly displayed his brilliance at Dragon Martial Academy, attracting Fei Huang’s attention. As a result, she took special care of him. Eventually, the two of them consummated their relationship.
In the early to middle stages of the plot, Fei Huang was a significant source of support for Chu Yun. Her own strength, ranked near the top within the Sacred Martial Immortal Empire, combined with her immense hidden power, allowed Chu Yun to frequently act arrogantly before the ministers and the various princes.
After Chu Yun ascended to the Upper Realm, Fei Huang was abandoned on this continent.
As for the women in Chu Yun’s harem, Zhou Li naturally would not treat her kindly.
“Dean Fei, without so much as a word of notice, you came privately to my Prince of Han’s Residence. For what purpose?” Zhou Li said coldly.
Fei Huang’s eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled faintly. “Your Highness is mistaken. I informed Yan’er beforehand. How could that be considered a private visit?”
“This residence is not hers to speak for!” Zhou Li folded his arms and looked at Fei Huang calmly.
Hearing this, Fei Huang glanced at Nangong Yan’er in confusion, while Nangong Yan’er looked at Zhou Li with grievance in her eyes.
Has he already stopped giving her any face at all?
Though she did not fully understand the situation, Fei Huang coughed lightly. “Ahem, I did not come here without reason.”
After helping Leng Ning and Xuan Wu up from the ground, Zhou Li asked, “For what matter?”
Fei Huang took note of Zhou Li’s action and teased, “It seems Your Highness gets along quite well with Ning’er and Wu’er.”
“If Dean Fei has nothing to say, then please leave. My Prince of Han’s Residence does not welcome you.”
Fei Huang raised her brows slightly. Why does this boy harbor such hostility toward me?
Seeing the tense scene, Nangong Yan’er hurried forward and tugged at Zhou Li’s sleeve. “Your Highness, what are you doing? The Dean does not seem to have offended you.”
Even Leng Ning and Xuan Wu stepped forward to advise him.
After all, Fei Huang was their direct superior. They knew very well what methods she possessed, and naturally did not wish for His Highness to strain relations like this.
“Dean Fei, I know your relationship with Ning’er and Wu’er. But ever since Father Emperor bestowed them upon me, they no longer have anything to do with you.”
“So I dislike anyone using them to get close to me,” Zhou Li explained.
Fei Huang nodded slightly and smiled. “Your Highness worries too much. I was merely asking out of concern.”
“After all, I would not want Ning’er and Wu’er to be bullied.”
Hearing this, Xuan Wu immediately ran behind Fei Huang and began massaging her shoulders, smiling apologetically. “Big Sister, don’t worry. His Highness treats us very well and truly cares for us.”
Members of the Hidden Dragon Guards always addressed their Grand Commander as Big Sister in front of others.
“So Big Sister came to the Prince of Han’s Residence just to see us?” Leng Ning stepped forward and asked.
Fei Huang affectionately patted Leng Ning’s head. “That would disappoint you, Ning’er. My main purpose in coming here was not you two.”
“Oh? Then what matter?” Xuan Wu asked.
“His Majesty notified me last night to come to the Prince of Han’s Residence today to arrange for the Prince of Han’s enrollment into Dragon Martial Academy.”
“And Yan’er, as one of the prodigies of Dragon Martial Academy, should not neglect her cultivation either. That is why I came personally,” Fei Huang said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li thought for a moment and then smiled. “If that’s the case, I agree. However, I have one condition. Leng Ning and Xuan Wu must enroll together with me.”
“And the two of them must reside in the same dormitory courtyard as me.”
Within Dragon Martial Academy, there were four types of dormitories.
The top-tier A-grade dormitories were for royal family members. They came with courtyards and spirit pools, and each A-grade dormitory had about seven rooms. In modern terms, they were essentially large villas.
The next tier, B-grade dormitories, housed noble offspring. Though not as grand as the A-grade, they were still fully equipped.
Below that were C-grade dormitories, for children of mid- to lower-ranking officials. Four people shared one room.
Finally, the lowest-grade dormitories were for commoners. Eight people shared a single room, and there was no cultivation chamber.
Nangong Yan’er looked at Zhou Li with displeasure.
Why does His Highness think of these two maids whenever there is any benefit…
After hearing Zhou Li’s request, Fei Huang smiled in satisfaction. “Agreed.”
“Very well. Then please return, Dean. Tomorrow I will bring Ning’er and Wu’er to Dragon Martial Academy.”
A trace of surprise flashed through Fei Huang’s eyes. Why does this boy still hold such hostility toward me?
I came all this way to see him, and he did not even offer me a cup of tea.
Thinking of this, Fei Huang felt slightly annoyed. She immediately transformed into a blazing phoenix and flew into the distance.
After Fei Huang left, Nangong Yan’er glared at Zhou Li angrily. “Your Highness, could you not be more courteous to Dean Fei? She is the Dean, and her strength is formidable.” This story is hosted at g.com.
Zhou Li did not even glance at her and walked straight into the residence.
This action caused Nangong Yan’er’s heart to ache.
After the three of them entered the room, Leng Ning and Xuan Wu exchanged glances, looking at Zhou Li with concern.
“Your Highness, when we go to the academy tomorrow, will there be trouble?” Xuan Wu asked cautiously.
Zhou Li smiled confidently. “What is there to fear? With me there, who can do anything to us? And once we reach the academy, I have important matters to handle.”
This was an excellent opportunity to suppress Chu Yun.
How could he possibly let it slip away?
That night, Zhou Li had Leng Ning and Xuan Wu prepare what was needed for enrollment.
He himself remained in his room, circulating his cultivation technique to consolidate his realm.
The next morning at early dawn, the three of them finished preparing and set out for Dragon Martial Academy.
Dragon Martial Academy was located atop Grand Sacred Mountain. Like a cultivation sect, a grand mountain gate stood at the entrance, and within the gate lay a secret realm.
Dragon Martial Academy was inside that secret realm.
Zhou Li and the other two arrived outside the mountain gate aboard a flying vessel.
Before them stood a majestic stone gate. Beside it was a towering stone stele resembling a mountain, upon which four bold golden characters were inscribed: Dragon Martial Academy.
“We’re here. Let’s go in!” Zhou Li said as he stepped off the flying vessel together with Leng Ning and Xuan Wu.
The two disciples guarding the gate immediately stepped forward and bowed. “This humble one greets the Prince of Han!”
Zhou Li nodded slightly, then led Leng Ning and Xuan Wu into the formation lines of the stone gate. A beam of white light descended from above, forcing them to squint.
When the three opened their eyes again, the scenery had completely changed.
Before them rose countless pavilions and towers atop clustered peaks, floating above a sea of clouds like celestial palaces. The scent of sandalwood lingered in the air, mixed with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
“Hah, so this is Dragon Martial Academy. Truly magnificent. It is no less than a first-rate sect,” Zhou Li remarked.
Just as the three of them were about to head toward the admissions office, a shout came from behind them.
“Your Highness!”
