Sally struggled for a moment, "At the academy entrance, please put me down quickly." Zong Silu still held her tightly with no intention of letting go and teased with a sly chuckle, "Didn't you say your legs were weak!" Old Zong looked at them with a smirky smile, showing no signs of impatience from the wait and seemed rather pleased to see their affectionate ties. "Just carry her in, no problem." Old Zong said to Zong Silu. Even though Sally had thick skin, she couldn't help but blush at these words, burying her face in Zong Silu's chest and complained with feigned annoyance, "It's all your fault!" Zong Silu was utterly satisfied, "Hmm, my fault." Afterward, he really did carry Sally into the academy, even into the exam room seat, which was a public declaration of his claim over her, practically throwing a handful of envy-inducing "dog food." Sally was his, Zong Silu's female, and no one else was allowed to covet her. And Sally wished she could flee the exam room classroom; the feeling of being observed like a panda in a zoo was embarrassingly awkward. Fortunately, Old Zong entered with the exam papers just in time to alleviate the awkwardness. "This is the third test, everyone, don't be nervous. As long as you've looked over the materials sent earlier, you should basically be able to pass. And even if you really can't, the teacher will be responsible for pulling you through." With these words, the whole classroom erupted in laughter. Sally also laughed aloud. Old Zong raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, "Alright, first row, come get your exam papers and pass them back." After receiving her exam paper, Sally took one and handed it to the student behind her. "Sister Sally, you looked so cool when Senior Silu carried you in just now!" Cui Ziyi whispered to Sally. "Eh? It's you, what a coincidence." Sally just noticed that the student lined up behind her was Cui Ziyi, the same who had queued for the talent test with her. "Hmm hmm, where's Bai Kaixin?" "He didn't pass the first round and is now in the lodge." "No talking," Old Zong reminded Sally with a chuckle. Sally immediately felt embarrassed and stuck out her tongue, then quickly whispered to Cui Ziyi, "Wish you luck, Cui. May you pass every exam and achieve great success." "Thank you, Sister Sally, same to you, same to you." A big smile spread across Cui Ziyi's face. Once all the students had their exam papers, Old Zong announced the start of the test. He then sat down in his chair and began to snooze for a bit. Many of the examinees had brought cheats and began to write feverishly... Sally hadn't prepared any cheat sheets, but she had System Little Beauty, who had scanned the materials in advance for her. But when she looked closely at the questions on the paper, she felt there was no need to cheat. All were multiple-choice questions! Just write 12345, and you're good to go. What's more, most of them were common knowledge questions. For example: Where do fish live (?) Options: 1, In water. 2, In soil. 3, In the wind. 4, In the fire. 5, In a pot. ... Completing all the questions with ease and delight, Sally was the first to submit her exam paper. Really, what was the point of all those materials sent out, just to intimidate, when hardly two questions on the whole paper were from them. Old Zong nodded with a grin, "Student Sally, very excellent." Sally truly felt sheepish! If she couldn't score full marks on this test, it would be an insult to her intelligence! Once she left the exam room classroom, the outside was bathed in brilliant sunlight, and a gentle breeze blew, it was truly nice weather. "Sally, right?" An elegant and amply voluptuous woman approached her with an accessible smile on her face. Sally hadn't met her before, but Zong Silu had mentioned that the Dean of the Divine Beast Academy was the Beast Emperor's sister and the only female among the academy's leadership. "Good to see you, Dean," Sally said, bowing. "You know me?" Zi Yuan looked somewhat surprised. Sally replied, "There shouldn't be any other females in the academy who have the Dean's demeanor and grace." Zi Yuan smiled as she sized her up, "Well spoken. Come on, I'll take you to see the dormitory." Remembering she was pregnant, Sally asked, "Dean, may I commute instead of residing in the academy?" Zi Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Commute?" Sally nodded, "I have an inn to manage as well." Zi Yuan considered this, then responded, "Students who are enrolled are supposed to stay in the school's housing. However, if you really wish to commute, it's not entirely impossible." Although she said 'it's not entirely impossible', the underlying message was, 'I'm not keen on making exceptions for you.' Sally understood her implication, "How about this: I could come back to the inn every other day to check in. Half-residency, half-commuting, how does that sound?" Secretly impressed by Sally's ability to handle Zong Silu, Zi Yuan thought of her quick wit, "Fine, you may stay at the academy on odd days and are permitted to commute on even days." "Thank you, Dean," Sally said, bowing again. "It's nothing. Let's go," Zi Yuan led the way. Sally followed behind her. Previously, there had been no dormitories for females at the Divine Beast Academy. The current female dormitory had been recently built. It stood across a large playground and a library, separating it from the male dormitory. Within the large playground, there were plenty of sports facilities. Zi Yuan casually showed Sally around before they headed to the library. The library was even larger than the playground, with densely packed shelves holding various books, especially many concerning talents and Secret Techniques. Seeing Sally wandering between the bookshelves with keen interest, Zi Yuan asked, "Do you like it here?" Sally smiled, "Learning makes one more attractive." Zi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly and nodded, "That's very well said." "You flatter me, Dean. I'm just speaking from observation. Zong Silu loves to study, often immersed in books, and his knowledge is profound as if there's nothing he doesn't know. That's very attractive to me." "Little Lu is a child with exceptional talent. I've watched him grow up, but it's a pity his talents are so great that it limits the choices he has," Zi Yuan sighed. Sally understood that his excessive talent meant there were no suitable females for him. "You'll need to be good to Little Lu," Zi Yuan said, walking towards the exit of the library. Sally's lips curved in a smile... What kind of goodness that entailed, she wondered. She could bear him offspring, one wasn't enough, several more if necessary. As for everything else, she had nothing to offer! The dormitory consisted of seven rooms, for seven female students. Being the last to arrive at the dormitory, Sally had no choice left but a small bedroom with poor lighting. Zi Yuan seemed somewhat discontented and immediately wanted to call someone to renovate the room. "Dean—" someone rushed over, panting, "There's been an emergency." Zi Yuan saw that the person was from the security department and her expression instantly became very serious, "Walk and talk." After moving a few steps, Zi Yuan halted and said to Sally, "Get comfortable first. I'll arrange for someone to take care of the dormitory." "No worries, Dean. Please attend to your matters first," Sally replied, bowing. Zi Yuan nodded and departed with her colleague. Sally looked around the empty dormitory once more, feeling the oppression of the gloomy room. The plain old bed, the desk, and chairs were also old, even bearing some age-old stains. This was clearly someone making trouble, giving her a hard time. But who could it be? Sally looked towards the dormitory entrance as footsteps approached.
