Chapter 52: Bring Liuliu Yue Back to Jade Wind State to Get Married?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liuliu Yue, wearing her home pajamas, talked while packing her bags, only glancing over at Su Huan every few seconds, which made her completely unaware of his strange behavior at that moment.
At that moment, listening to the commotion at the banquet, Su Huan’s body felt as stiff as if he had just experienced a great loss.
Sweat was uncontrollably dripping down, quickly soaking his shirt.
Although there was never anything romantic between the two, the misunderstandings from others were so ridiculous that it made her feel embarrassed, and now she was left speechless…
If Su Huan didn’t think Liuliu Yue had something important to say, why would he answer this video call at such a crucial moment?
To his surprise, it was really just a simple reminder face to face…
If they weren’t a couple, who would waste time making a video call for no reason!?
If we aren’t misunderstood, who could be?
However, just when Su Huan was about to hang up, Liuliu Yue, noticing something was off, suddenly became alert.
She leaned in a little closer, pressing her delicate, fair face against the screen.
"Su Huan, are you outside!?"
"Show me where you are!!!"
"……"
"……"
"Well, I’m not only outside, but I’m also at the celebration party of Tianfeng Academy, and my phone is still sharing the screen."
After a few seconds of silence, Su Huan said with a sense of despair.
Hearing this, after a moment of surprise, Liuliu Yue’s expression also froze.
"Oh, um, actually, I didn’t need anything important when I came to see you today, I just wanted to ask you something, but never mind, you can get back to what you were doing, um…"
"Ding——"
After struggling to find the right words for a long time, Liuliu Yue quickly hung up the phone.
After all, just looking at Su Huan’s pale face, like someone who had lost everything, made it clear that this was not a joke.
Soon, the video call ended.
Su Huan stood there, feeling a bit numb, for a while before stepping out with a mindset of "if I’ve broken it, I’ve broken it."
At that moment, the chief mentor on stage, along with Daiyue and the other women, all looked very strange.
"Why are you taking a video call at this time? It feels like you’re trying to show off your pretty wife…"
"I wasn’t showing off, I didn’t know my phone would be shared on screen!"
Su Huan said helplessly, holding his forehead.
The banquet area below was already in an uproar.
Almost all the students were whispering to each other.
Su Huan even heard someone betting on when he would bring Liuliu Yue back to Jade Wind State to get married.
Sigh, it seems this misunderstanding won’t be cleared up anytime soon…
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he read his speech with a stiff and mechanical expression, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.
Thinking of his past life, even when he was cursed by billions or faced the six emperors that ordinary beings could never resist, he never felt this desperate or wanted to die…
That annoying Liuliu Yue is really causing a lot of trouble!!!
They are not even a couple, why are they making such videos…?
Although Su Huan himself was in great agony.
But this sugary night is destined to make Su Huan and Liuliu Yue’s fans very happy.
A few hours later, the feast finally came to an end.
Su Huan slipped out as if he was running away.
Although many embarrassing events have happened recently, today’s situation is definitely the most embarrassing, and his strong desire to start over cannot be compared to the previous times.
"Captain!!"
Just then, Daiyue and Wang Murou walked out from the back corridor.
They were followed by the long-missed Feng Qinqin, who waved at Su Huan with a cheerful look.
"Su Huan, am I the first fan to know about your relationship with Liuliu Yue?"
"By the way, speaking of that, I have some private information about you two!!!"
"Secret information, what secret information!?"
Hearing this, Su Huan was momentarily taken aback.
Even he didn’t know that Liuliu Yue was his girlfriend; in this situation, could this woman have any normal information?
The next moment, as Feng Qinqin showed the contents of her phone, Su Huan nearly spat out his drink in her face.
This woman actually had her own tracking number.
Liuliu Yue had previously bought a lot of herbs to strengthen his kidneys because of a problem caused by holding in urine; he couldn’t understand how Feng Qinqin got this information.
"You haven’t made it public yet, have you?"
Once Su Huan realized what was happening, he asked with a serious expression.
Sensing the quickly approaching danger, Feng Qinqin nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.
"Of course, this kind of top-secret information is something I can only enjoy myself. How could I share it with anyone else? Besides, I only accidentally saw your name and the address of the Double Moon Sect when I picked up the package. I even thought it was sent by your little maid girlfriend…"
"Child, don’t jump to conclusions. This is just a misunderstanding…"
"I know, it’s a misunderstanding. I was just imagining in my mind, dreaming about how you would look after using these herbs and battling with Liuliu Yue, the saintess, with her beautiful legs, and how you would defeat her!!!"
Feng Qinqin’s words poured out like a stream, but before she could finish speaking, Wang Murou grabbed her ear.
After giving a stern punishment to this girl who loved to fantasize and ordering her to delete all records of the package tracking number, Wang Murou finally turned a little red and looked at Su Huan, asking:
"Captain, we are planning to team up to tackle the Burning Hand. Would you like to join us?"
The Burning Hand that Wang Murou mentioned was the Forbidden Area Fragment that the institute just bought for a fortune today.
This might be the only news during the evening banquet that could match the excited screams when Liuliu Yue appeared on screen.
Although it is just the beginning of a forbidden area and cannot form a complete strategy team, at least the practical experience of each student can be greatly improved, making it a joyous occasion for everyone.
Facing Wang Murou’s request, Su Huan instinctively wanted to refuse.
But then he thought again; he really did need to train in one area recently, so it might not be a bad idea.
"Alright, I have some free time."
"However, I won’t join in. I’ll just watch how you all play."
With Su Huan nodding in agreement, they quickly called over Liang Xiao and Huang Yu, and also brought along a few members of the 307 team, planning to tackle the Forbidden Area Fragment together.
Usually, the number of people for the Forbidden Area Fragment challenge was between 6 to 10, and the Tianfeng Academy team filled up the spots perfectly, so they registered using the equipment in the main training room.

[Map: Burning Hand (Forbidden Area Fragment)]
[Loading data…]
[Generating map…]
Soon, a hot and boiling environment filled with high temperatures appeared before everyone.
The scorched earth revealed cracked wounds; at first glance, it seemed as though they were standing in a lava canyon.
In every direction, towering walls of flames reached up to the clouds, making it feel like they were cradled in the palms of these giant walls.
This is the famous forbidden area of Phoenix Sand State, known as the Burning Hand.
Once the loading was complete, everyone looked around in shock at the scenery. Although Daiyue and the others had also experienced the Forbidden Area Fragment during the competition, that was a match mode, and the map was shrunk to fit the competition terrain.
But this time, the exploration mode felt completely immersive…
"It’s my first time experiencing the Forbidden Area Fragment, and it feels like I’ve come to hell—it’s so scary! I will definitely never participate in a forbidden area exploration again!!"
As the words fell, Feng Qinqin trembled and hid behind Wang Murou.
Useless thing…
Daiyue secretly cursed in frustration.
Then, she wiped her sweat and turned to Su Huan, asking:
"Captain, this is your first time tackling the Forbidden Area Fragment, right? Did you watch the tutorials or explanations before?"
"No, it’s not my first time. Just focus on your practice."
Su Huan shook his head with a blank expression.
Of course, it wasn’t his first time.
In his last life, not only had he faced the Forbidden Area, but Su Huan could no longer remember how many Forbidden Areas he had created or how many legendary Battle Pets he had defeated.
Although the Battle Pet Association did not make this news public, the forbidden area is actually a space formed by the spreading aura of legendary-level Battle Pets.
Every time a legendary Battle Pet dies, a forbidden area will definitely form.
At this moment, Su Huan could instantly judge that this Battle Pet’s power during its life was just ordinary among legends by simply feeling the aura inside the Burning Hand.
"Is this not your first time?"
"Has the captain played in other forbidden area fragments before?"
Hearing this, Daiyue was slightly taken aback.
However, she quickly snapped back to attention.
The captain’s wife is the Saintess Liuliu Yue of the Double Moon Sect. What forbidden area can’t she explore? Perhaps the Burning Hand has already bored him, no wonder he shows no interest in trying a forbidden area for the first time…
Soon, as the countdown ended and the rising heat was felt, everyone became tense and stopped chatting, summoning their water-type Battle Pets to cool down.
Liang Xiao’s tear spirit, Daiyue’s Blue Sea Shell, and Phantom Blue.
The three water-type Battle Pets sprayed water like showers; otherwise, in this high temperature, everyone would soon suffer and be unable to move.
Wang Murou wiped her sweat frantically while reading the online guide.
"Um, they said we need at least two water-type Battle Pets to cool down, and then we must go north for 40 kilometers. Along the way, we will randomly face seven waves of small monsters, all at the mature stage, not the complete stage."
"After 40 kilometers, we will enter the first large nest, where we will encounter more than ten mature-stage battle pets and one complete-stage Battle Pet. There are also seven nests after that, where the elite monsters are all at the complete stage, and only the final ultimate BOSS is at the ultimate stage. As long as we don’t disturb it, we will be fine."
"Moreover, the online information says this Forbidden Area Fragment has already been simplified. If it were the real Burning Hand, there would be several complete-stage Battle Pets among the early small monsters, and all seven elite monsters would be in the ultimate stage. The final guarding BOSS here is a wild royal-rank battle pet that has signed a protection agreement with Phoenix Sand State."
"The detailed guide for the rest has to be paid for…"
As Wang Murou finished reading the guide, even though they were in a scorching environment, the team members were sweating coldly.
If this simplified Forbidden Area Fragment is so tough, who is actually tackling the real forbidden area?
You should know that a royal-rank battle pet has the strength of a state-destroying level…
No wonder the minimum requirement to enter the forbidden area is to have an ultimate-stage Battle Pet Master lead the team…
At the same time, upon hearing this brief and careless guide, Su Huan couldn’t help but frown and immediately said:
"Since it’s your first time, just defeat the small monsters in front of you. Don’t think about provoking the elite monsters."
"Even though the strength of these elite monsters has been reduced to a complete stage, they still retain the form of the ultimate stage. They use methods and skills that you won’t fully understand and can seriously harm the Resonance Value of your Battle Pets, so don’t think about practicing on them."
"Oh, okay…"
Upon hearing Su Huan’s reminder, everyone nodded in understanding.
However, don’t be fooled by the captain’s seemingly carefree and nonchalant attitude.
He was surprisingly serious when it came to discussing the approach to the forbidden area…
Soon, the formation was ready. Leading with Huang Yu’s spiky shell and Heavy Mudstone, the nine team members began to carefully move north, while Su Huan stood still, yawning leisurely.
Feeling bored, he pulled up the ranking list.
[Burning Hand, Speed Rankings]
[1. Mohuang Court Team 3’s strategy group, took 2 hours and 07 minutes]
[2. Phoenix Heart Team 1’s strategy group, took 2 hours and 19 minutes]
[3. Mohuang Court Team 4’s strategy group, took 2 hours and 23 minutes]
[4. Phoenix Sand State’s Huang Fly Academy’s strategy group, took 3 hours and 05 minutes]
[5. Specializing in the Burning Hand map, took 6 hours and 41 minutes]
Su Huan glanced at the list; the top four were all officially tied to Phoenix Sand State, while the lower rankings were all from civilian strategy groups.
In the hundreds of years since the Burning Hand was formed, only about 30 teams have passed through, mostly led by ultimate-stage Battle Pet Masters, who used all their strength and clever ideas to succeed.
Just a fragment of a Forbidden Area is already so bothersome, so it’s easy to imagine that there are very few true experts who can conquer a real forbidden area.
Thinking of this.
Su Huan first glanced at the Tianfeng Academy’s team, who were struggling against the first wave of monsters, and then looked at the time of the top ranking in the speed competition.
"2 hours and 7 minutes, isn’t that a bit slow…?"
"I remember that breaking the record has a special reward, right?"
