For Bai Ye's request, Dong Daifeng agreed one hundred percent. Let alone holding a sports meet at the school, even if it meant changing the father of his children, he would probably nod without hesitation.
"Being able to become Brother Ye's student will likely be the most glorious thing for the children in this lifetime! I wonder which children will be so fortunate?"
Thinking of this, Principal Dong couldn't help but feel regretful. He shouldn't have been so impulsive back then. His child was born too early and was already nearing high school. Otherwise, he would have had the chance to become Bai Ye's student!
Bai Ye smiled faintly, not quite agreeing with Principal Dong's words. "Being my student is not a matter of luck. They will only face greater hardship and more crises than other children."
"The most honorable thing is to realize one's value in this chaotic era."
Principal Dong's heart stirred. His previous understanding of Bai Ye was from his livestreams—handsome, suave, and humorous. But he never expected Bai Ye's ideology, combined with his actions, to inspire such profound respect in him, someone who had been teaching for decades.
"Brother Ye, you truly make me admire you to the core!"
"Also, an announcement: children who perform exceptionally well will receive excellent rewards."
Excellent rewards? Principal Dong was shocked again. Anything Bai Ye considered good wouldn't be ordinary! For ordinary people like them, it would undoubtedly be a peerless treasure, perhaps even beyond the measure of money!
Even he was tempted. He almost couldn't resist asking what treasure it was, but years of experience reminded him that it wasn't a smart move!
"Oh! I'll be broadcasting live then, is that alright?"
"How could it not be alright? It's our honor!" Principal Dong's face beamed. With Bai Ye broadcasting live, Xingfu Primary School was bound to become globally renowned. And with an impeccable reputation that no one would dare to tarnish!
"That's all for now. Specific training matters can be discussed with Captain Lan and the others," Bai Ye said with a smile. "My combat style might not be suitable for young children. Theirs are more practical."
"Hahaha..." Thinking of Bai Ye's unscientific 'magic tricks', Principal Dong couldn't help but laugh. But as he was laughing, Bai Ye suddenly disappeared from his sight.
(⊙_⊙)
"Wait! Brother Ye, we haven't even settled on a date yet??? When are you free?"
"I will naturally be present on the day of the event."
...
At Lone Star Villa, the backyard became lively again after nightfall.
Da Peng was busy grilling meat and cooking, while also conceptualizing teaching plans. This kid was truly an all-around prodigy; after only half a month in the kitchen, his culinary skills were already nearing the level of a three-star chef.
Goudan and the other fellows were drooling nearby. During Bai Ye's absence, Da Peng had mostly been cooking for them. Their relationship now was more than just ordinary close friends.
Lydia, holding a fragrant roasted beef leg, was feeling dejected. After being singled out by Bai Ye for mathematics, she had started taking it seriously herself.
A small hand was silently calculating.
"One hour is 60 minutes, one minute is 60 seconds... The hour hand moved one segment, how many segments did the minute hand move? How many segments did the second hand move?"
"What's 495 times 3 approximately?"
"o(≧口≦)o So annoying..."
...
Beside Bai Ye, a young girl sat quietly. Her jade-like body, wrapped in tender branches and green leaves, exuded a sacred light, making the enticing scenery appear and disappear, leaving one yearning.
The girl was Princess Manjushaka.
"Aren't you eating?" Bai Ye scooped a pork trotter for her.
"We don't eat meat."
Princess Manjushaka shook her head vigorously. The elf race could truly be said to be untouched by worldly affairs. However, looking at the gluttonous group in front of her devouring their food, her slender, fair neck showed her throat moving occasionally.
Bai Ye ate heartily without restraint.
Princess Manjushaka's throat moved almost imperceptibly. After a while, she whispered, "Um~ I want to go back to the Magic Forest." Having worked as a laborer for half a month, her task was finally complete, and she had long wanted to return. However, Bai Ye's words had forced her to return to Wo Jiao Ranch, fearing he might suspect something.
"What? Aren't you comfortable living here with me?"
Bai Ye asked casually. But this calm tone made her heart tighten, increasing her anxiety. Was this guy going to discard her after using her?
"No, no. It's very good!" Although her stay was awkward and stifling, how could she dare to show it?
"Eat a little."
Bai Ye smiled gently, waved his hand, and conjured a table, chairs, and tableware for her. He reached out again and placed a medium-rare piece of beef and some sauce on her plate.
"I'm usually accustomed to being casual, I forgot you're a princess."
Princess Manjushaka looked at the exquisite tableware and tempting steak before her, swallowed slightly, wanting to move but not daring to, only managing a polite smile.
"In the past few days, there have been 9 new disaster-level magical plants and 21 B-class magical plants in the Magic Forest, with quite a few others as well. Yesterday, there was even a calamity-level vine, so it's been quite lively."
Princess Manjushaka, who was still struggling internally, felt her heart tighten and she secretly observed Bai Ye's expression.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ye suddenly turned his head and met her gaze directly, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
"Are you planning any major movements?"
"No, no, right?" Princess Manjushaka's mind reeled. This guy was just too smart; nothing could escape his gaze. She had sensed the anomaly in the forest, which was why she wanted to go back and check.
Did this guy sense some danger? Would he suddenly make a move on the Magic Forest?
In her panic, Princess Manjushaka picked up her knife and fork and unconsciously ate the steak Bai Ye had given her.
Hmm?
"It's delicious!!!"
"Did you make it?"
Bai Ye: ...
Are you blind? Weren't you right beside me the whole time?
"Since it's so delicious, stay here for a while longer!"
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Princess Manjushaka paused slightly, and the smile on her face became a little forced.
Just as the atmosphere became quiet, a painful howl suddenly rang out.
"Awooooh~"
Xiao Bai, who was next to Goudan, suddenly collapsed on the ground in pain. Everyone immediately looked over.
Da Peng froze for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! Goudan, you're going to be a dad!"
