The afternoon sun shines obliquely on every corner of the dormitory area, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet space.

However, in Duguyan's eyes, this tranquility was like the calm before the storm, which made her feel uneasy. She frowned slightly, and looked through the half-open window at the seemingly peaceful dormitory area, with an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.

Turning around, her eyes fell on Ye Lingling.

This teammate, who usually always has a smile on his face and a graceful temperament, seemed unusually calm at this moment.

She sat quietly by the bed, playing with a string of crystal clear jade beads in her hands, as if all the troubles in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

"Ever since we came here, I've always had a bad feeling in my heart." Dugu Yan's voice was low and heavy. She walked to Ye Lingling's side and sat down, frowning as she continued, "I always feel that something is wrong with the communication that Teacher Zhou Yi mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling raised her head slightly, and a hint of deep thought flashed in her clear eyes.

She put down the jade beads in her hand, gently patted the back of Dugu Yan's hand, and comforted her: "Yan'er, don't worry too much. Since we are already here, we can only face it calmly. Besides, we have been invited here in public, and Teacher Zhou Yi will not do anything bad to us."

Although Ye Lingling's words were gentle, they were filled with an unquestionable firmness.

Dugu Yan looked at her face that was as calm as water, and the uneasiness in her heart was slightly relieved.

However, she still couldn't completely let go of her doubts. She knew very well that this communication would not be as simple as it seemed.

The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, breaking the brief silence. Teacher Zhou Yi's voice rang out: "Students, are you ready? Our exchange is about to begin."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

They know that no matter what awaits them ahead, they must face it bravely.

So, the two of them took a deep breath, walked to the door with firm steps, and faced the unknown challenge.

The dormitory door slowly opened, and in addition to Zhou Yi, another familiar figure came into view, that was Qin Shou.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were not unfamiliar with his face.

After all, just now at the training ground of the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy, he and Xue Qinghe sat side by side. That calmness and composure had already left a deep impression on them.

However, Qin Shou at this moment seemed a little different from when he was in the training ground just now.

He stood quietly at the door, his eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see through people's hearts.

His eyes lingered between Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, and that gaze made the two of them feel a palpitation involuntarily.

In the warm afternoon sunshine, they felt as if they were bound by an invisible force. Every subtle movement and emotion of theirs was exposed under this gaze.

An inexplicable panic surged in Ye Lingling's heart. She subconsciously pursed her lips, trying to hide her uneasiness with a smile.

However, Qin Shou's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart. She felt her heartbeat accelerating, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Dugu Yan had a solemn look on her face. She clenched her fists tightly and tried to stay calm.

However, Qin Shou's gaze was like an insurmountable mountain, making her feel unable to breathe.

She couldn't help but think of the time when she faced her grandfather Dugu Bo who was bursting with his own aura. Although her grandfather Dugu Bo was powerful at that time, he had never given her such a sense of oppression.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, two girls who are usually calm and composed, are now like frightened deer, with the same fear and anxiety flashing in their eyes.

When their eyes met inadvertently, it seemed as if they saw their inner panic in each other's pupils.

Seeing this, Qin Shou's lips curled up into a faint smile. He gently loosened his hands around Zhou Yi's waist, then raised his leg and took a step forward to stand in front of the two of them.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan only felt a strong sense of oppression coming over them, making them unable to move.

Qin Shou came up to them and without any unnecessary words, he took them into his arms.

"Relax, let me see what's wrong with you." His voice was low and gentle, soothing like a spring breeze.

Under Qin Shou's comfort, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan involuntarily relaxed their tense nerves.

Just when they thought they could take a breath, a chill suddenly swept over them, like an icy knife cutting through their skin.

The two of them lowered their heads almost at the same time, and the scene before them made their eyes widen instantly - the clothes that were originally tightly wrapped around their bodies seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind, revealing their jade-white skin.

This sudden change made their hearts rise to their throats again, with fear and astonishment intertwined in their hearts.

They tried to break free from Qin Shou's strong embrace, but in front of the god-level Emerald Dragon King, their struggles seemed so insignificant.

That cold gaze seemed to be able to penetrate their souls, making them feel a despair they had never felt before.

The next second, Dugu Yan became the target of the Emerald Dragon King.

There was a flash of cold light, and it was the Emerald Dragon King's sharp claws, attacking directly towards Dugu Yan's vitals.

For a moment, the dragon-snake battle between the Bilin Snake and the Emerald Dragon King broke out again.

The Green Scaled Snake still flashed a faint green light in the sun, but the difference in strength was particularly obvious at this moment.

Although Dugu Yan tried her best, her Bilin Snake was just like an insignificant little snake in front of the Emerald Dragon King.

In every clash, the Bilin Snake was shaken terribly, and Dugu Yan also felt unprecedented pain in this violent shaking.

Her face was as pale as paper and cold sweat streamed down her forehead, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, unwilling to surrender to this powerful enemy.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not change this cruel reality.

Under the ruthless attack of the Emerald Dragon King, Dugu Yan's Green Scaled Snake gradually lost the ability to resist.

Finally, after a violent collision, the Bilin Snake fell limply to the ground, and Dugu Yan fainted directly from the huge impact.

Qin Shou couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he found that the reminder for the reward for offspring had not sounded yet.

However, Ye Lingling next to her didn't know why Qin Shou shook his head. She glanced at Dugu Yan who had fallen to the ground, and then looked at Qin Shou who had turned his gaze to her. She couldn't help but shiver.
