CHAPTER 212: 212 - DON’T REGRET IT LATER.

Long Tianyu was already ready to stand up and welcome Qingyi with open arms.

That final battle had convinced him; he needed to have Qingyi in his battalion.

If he could nurture that young man well, he would be one of the foundations of the Dragon Battalion.

The possibility of Qingyi choosing another battalion didn’t even cross his mind, at least not until he heard the words that came out of the handsome young man’s face.

"I choose the snake battalion."

Tianyu slumped in his seat, looking around.

All the other six leaders had the exact same shock on their faces.

The snake battalion? What did he mean by the snake battalion?

Although they were all combat battalions, each fought in a completely different way and received members depending on that member’s affinity with the group.

The dragon battalion was a pure, raw and powerful combat battalion.

One that crushed enemies and solved the problem immediately.

The snake battalion, on the other hand, was mainly focused on concealment, poisoning and infiltration techniques, and was the most different of all the battalions.

Qingyi’s choice made no sense to anyone there.

Even Biyue was shocked.

Why on earth had he chosen her?

Especially after running away from her that day, it simply didn’t make sense.

"Are you sure about this?" The elder asked, sighing heavily as he received a positive nod from Qingyi.

He had already lived for over a thousand years and was really getting old.

The younger generation really didn’t know what they were doing with their lives any more.

Qingyi ignored all those looks of shock and contempt, focusing his gaze only on Biyue, analyzing every bit of her incomparable beauty.

He wanted her, immediately, without waiting even for a single moment.

Calming his mind, he waited for Tang Biyue’s response.

The beauty stood up, her eyes staring at Qingyi for a brief moment before she sighed.

"Is this your wish?" she questioned and after receiving Qingyi’s confirmation, she exhaled softly.

"Very well, but don’t regret it later." Biyue sat down again.

Bowing to her one last time, Qingyi turned around, returning to Qingxue’s side.

The next part of the event took the longest, waiting for each disciple to choose a battalion.

Around eighty percent of the disciples there managed to join a battalion and Qingyi was the only one below the fourth stage of the crystalline core realm to be chosen.

After the competition, everyone was taken to their dormitories.

Qingyi followed Tang Biyue along with fifty other recruits, his eyes focused on the sway of her hips and the ripples that spread across her plump, juicy ass with every step, the fabric of her clothes perfectly contouring her sensual curves.

She led them to the dormitories of her battalion before stopping, her cold eyes scanning the new members.

Almost all of them had talents related to assassination and espionage, whether with poison, concealment, sound or movement.

Qingyi was the only one there who had a talent for face-to-face combat.

"You all have a week to find a suitable squad leader and report to the administration office.

Those who aren’t under a squad leader will be randomly reassigned to one." Tang Biyue spoke coldly before waving her hands, releasing all the recruits.

All except Qingyi, who was being accompanied by Qingxue.

The silver-haired beauty was gripped by a deep discomfort, feeling out of place.

She really thought it would be better if she were part of the battalion rather than simply Qingyi’s partner.

"There are civilian residences for rent, since the lodgings are shared, I recommend that you take a civilian residence for you and your wife.

After that, come to me in my office, I’ll take you to redeem your reward in the orthodox alliance’s vault," Tang Biyue said.

Without even giving Qingyi time to react, she left.

Her body was still filled with strange sensations and she just wanted to get away from Qingyi as quickly as possible.

Seeing Biyue’s back disappear over the horizon, the handsome young man just sighed heavily before turning to Qingxue.

"Do you want to stay with the other girls?" Qingyi asked.

He had already explained Ruxue’s mind world to her and she had even entered it a few times, so it wouldn’t exactly be a big problem.

The silver-haired beauty thought for a brief moment before nodding.

For now, she just wanted a place to cultivate in peace.

Opening his status screen, Qingyi clicked to improve his cultivation.

A gentle pain ran through his dantian as his crystalline core was slowly cleansed of its impurities.

Qingxue’s eyes shone softly as she watched.

A breakthrough like that was absurd and would lead to serious damage for any cultivator who had the courage to try.

But for Qingyi, it was as natural as breathing.

Holding Qingxue’s hand, Qingyi made sure there was no one watching before entering the world of the mind with her.

There, he took a look at the girls’ progress.

Feiyan had already used up more than half of the materials he had bought for her, making a few dozen pills.

For now, he was only focusing on improving the girls’ spiritual roots to increase their cultivation speed, something that was working well.

Yunfei had already advanced to the Burning Blood realm, Elize and Yueli to the Iron Body realm while the other girls had reached the peak of the Golden Core realm.

That was extremely fast progress, and knowing that it wasn’t even at the peak of its speed naturally made Qingyi extremely happy.

If he could get Ruxue’s other fragment in the mortal heaven and further strengthen her world of mind, Qingyi had no doubt that they would be able to reach the realm of transcendence within a few years.

With an excited smile, he left Ruxue’s world of mind, looking around him.

He was in the east of the northern sector of the orthodox alliance, the region controlled by the snake battalion.

The houses there were strange, their wooden walls painted a sickly but strangely elegant green, as were the concrete walls that rose on the horizon.

At the center of it all was the battalion’s administrative office, a palace that bore one of the seven great towers that rose above the walls, forming a protective formation around the council of elders.

That was where Tang Biyue resided.
