Chapter 152: Transform!

Yan Muer sniffed, her expression entirely serious.

Ye Li was completely dumbfounded watching this.

Yekun asked with a solemn expression, "It wasn't me who farted, right?"

Yan Muer nodded, "It should be Sister who did it. There's also a strong fishy smell, and neither of us ate fish."

Ye Li: "......"

You can even smell that out! And you're stating it so calmly, even the husband looks so earnest.

You two are simply...

"See? I told you it wasn't me. Lili, you actually farted under the blanket. If Muer hadn't been so observant, I probably would have been blamed."

Why does Yan Muer feel a bit strange?

Ye Li was laughing so hard in Yekun's arms that she was nearly in tears.

Yan Muer let out a huff and couldn't help saying, "Husband, look how weird Sister is being~"

"Indeed, so happy even after doing something bad."

"Husband, don't mind Sister, let's go to sleep."

"Muer is still the good one."

"Hahahahahahaha..." Ye Li was laughing so hard her sides hurt. Are you two trying to laugh me to death so you can inherit my...

Amidst Ye Li's charming laughter, Yekun slowly drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow's matters can wait until tomorrow.

Early in the morning, a streak of warm sunlight filtered into the room, accompanied by the cheerful chirping of birds outside the window.

Yekun opened his eyes and immediately looked at Lili on his right. Sure enough, his shoulder was already soaked with drool.

Why can't she ever break this habit of drooling in her sleep... Look at how quietly Muer sleeps, curled up right beside him like a little cat.

However, there is an important task to handle today, and it must be done in secret.

Yekun gently extricated his arms from beneath his two wives; they had gone somewhat numb from being used as pillows. Don't their necks ever get sore?

With a sigh, Yekun slipped out of bed, put on his robes, and quietly opened the door to leave.

Ye Li and Yan Muer opened their eyes simultaneously, glared at each other, then let out a soft huff, turned back-to-back, and went back to sleep.

This back-to-back posture was somewhat reminiscent of that time in the outhouse—you poofed, I poofed, such a joyous memory.

Before Yekun had taken many steps, he saw Dongci and Daci waiting for him.

But them!

Why have they both become bald?!

You two care so little for your hair, yet Brother Kun here wants to cherish his but cannot! Do you feel no shame facing those countless strands of youthful locks?

Dongci and Daci did it for their teacher, well... actually, some unspeakable things had happened last night.

"Your hair?" Yekun asked in a deep voice.

"As the teacher's students, our hair was simply too long."

They were actually showing off their hair in front of the teacher!

"So we decided to get rid of it!"

They were actually wasting hair right in front of Brother Kun!

Yekun's face grew darker and darker. Yet Dongci and Daci looked thoroughly bewildered; they had shaved their heads to match the teacher, so why wasn't the teacher happy?

"Teacher, this was prepared according to your instructions." Daci reached out with both hands, holding an exquisite, gleaming silver ring resting in his palm.

Yekun certainly knew what this was: a storage ring, an extremely rare and high-end item.

He had always wanted to acquire one for the sake of convenience.

"Everything is inside?"

"Teacher just needs to call out the command, 'Transform!', and the equipment will automatically equip itself onto your body." Dongci and Daci had put a tremendous amount of thought into this.

"Transform???" Yekun's expression was precisely this: (⊙_⊙)?

"Is there a problem, Teacher?"

"Can we change the phrase?"

"Certainly. Just tell me what you prefer, Teacher, and I'll handle it for you."

Yekun rubbed his chin, then slapped his palm and said in a deep voice, "Awaken the slumbering demon, let arrogant mercy illuminate the earth, as I arrive, ye shall perish, transform, silver man!"

The expressions of Dongci and Daci were instantly frozen into this: (๑°⌓°๑).

Seeing their reactions, Yekun calmly asked, "Is it no good?"

Dongci swallowed hard and said, "Teacher, it's not that it's no good, it's just a bit too long. It's best to keep it within three characters."

Yekun lightly covered his forehead and sighed helplessly, "Then let's just add 'ba ba' to it."

Dongci and Daci were once again struck dumb. Did the teacher not hear clearly just now? It's supposed to be three characters.

Transform-ba-ba.

That makes four characters already!

"Is there a problem?" Yekun asked.

Teacher, your complexion is so awful that even if there were a problem, we wouldn't dare ask.

"No problem at all."

"Good. I'm heading out to take care of some business now, make sure everything is properly set up by the time I return."

"Understood, Teacher."

Watching the teacher's retreating figure, Dongci and Daci were still utterly baffled. *Transform-ba-ba*—what a bizarre activation phrase.

Yekun didn't inform anyone else and slipped away quietly.

Walking into a narrow alley, Yekun vanished into a blur of motion. If anyone could track him, they would see Yekun leaping across the rooftops.

Within a few breaths, Yekun arrived at the West District, reappeared inside an alley, and strolled out as if nothing had happened.

Yekun didn't know much about the empty well in Pingkang Fang. What puzzled him, however, was why the academy director's trial ground would be located in Pingkang Fang? Or was Pingkang Fang not like this in the past?

Harboring these doubts, Yekun headed toward Pingkang Fang.

However, the entrances and exits of Pingkang Fang were currently packed with crowds.

The Governor! The Prefect! The Interim Military Commandant, and even Pei Qian and Guan Qing from Anjing Academy were all present!

Naturally, Ye Zhao, Ye Shaolong, and You Liangxuan were also among them.

Most people were simply here to watch the spectacle.

Yet when Yekun emerged into everyone's view, they couldn't help but feel a shred of admiration—this Yekun possessed extraordinary nerve!

"Brother Kun is awesome!"

"Go for it, Brother Kun!"

Amidst the crowd, Yuan Zhen and Feng Dian were shouting at the top of their lungs. This was the final hope of Taixi County... Brother Kun must hold his ground!

"Is that youth in white called Brother Kun? It actually rolls off the tongue quite nicely."

"Indeed, so young yet daring to challenge the director's trial. Truly admirable courage."

"Shall we join in and shout a couple of times to cheer the youngster on?"

"Let's do it."

"Go for it, Brother Kun!"

One had to hand it to Yuan Zhen and Feng Dian; they really knew how to stir the crowd. Gradually, those four words began to echo across the entire vicinity of Pingkang Fang.

*Go for it, Brother Kun!*

Even those standing further away, oblivious to the context, joined the lively chorus.

The four-syllable chant seemed ready to pierce the heavens, a truly stirring sound.

Even Yekun was touched. These strangers are genuinely kind.

Meanwhile, Ye Shaolong wore a look of utter contempt and let out a scoff.

Ye Zhao appeared nonchalant. *Just wait until you send this 'Brother Kun' off on his final journey shortly.*

Pei Qian and Guan Qing watched as Yekun walked forward at a steady pace, breathing evenly. He seemed like a fine young man capable of maintaining his composure in such a setting.

Yet little did everyone know, back in Taixi County, Brother Kun had already grown accustomed to receiving this exact kind of treatment.

"Yekun, have you thought this through?" Ji Wenshan asked in a deep voice. This was no trifling matter; with so many people present to oversee the proceedings today, faking it was utterly impossible!

Yekun cupped his fists and said, "Lord Governor, I have thought it through!"

"Splendid! Truly worthy of a scion of the Ye family, what magnificent daring!" Ye Zhao immediately clapped and cheered, his gaze filled with admiration, though deep within, hidden laughter lurked.
