The movie tickets Bai Chen had given to Ban Yu were for a movie titled “Lord of The Four Seas.”
It was a fantasy film set in a small country called “Tamu Kingdom.” The story revolved around Princess Xianfeng, the King’s only daughter, and Wen Shiqing, the General’s son, who were childhood sweethearts.
Later, the neighboring country launched a war against them, and the Tamu Kingdom was defeated. The General fled with his wife and children, while Princess Xianfeng was snatched by the King of the Sea Kingdom.
The King of the Sea Kingdom had coveted Princess Xianfeng’s beauty for a long time.
After taking her away and locking her up, he ordered a dragon to keep guard outside of her room. Princess Xianfeng missed her hometown and Wen Shiqing so much that she wept all day long.
Unknown to Wen Shiqing, his proud father had betrayed the Tamu Kingdom from the start of the war, and had chosen to flee instead of facing death. His cowardly behavior made Wen Shiqing hate him.
Later, by accident, he learned that his father was not from the Tamu Kingdom. He also learned even more shocking things, like the fact that he was not his father’s biological son, and was just a chess piece being used to fight for power.
Thus, Wen Shiqing left home in anger and embarked on the road to rescue Princess Xianfeng.
Needless to say, the male protagonist naturally went all the way; he procured magic weapons, defeated the dragon and found the princess, before finally becoming the Lord of The World.
But, it turned out that this protagonist was the King of the Sea Kingdom’s biological son.
Too cliche! Bad movie! Broken plot!
This movie left Ban Yu upset for the entire morning, and he remained that way until Feng Yang left for class…
The image on the ticket had clearly shown a big dragon and a phoenix, ah! It turned out that it had just been a gimmick!
The movie had nothing to do with a real phoenix at all!
The most unsatisfying thing for him was learning the fact—through online comments—that the dragon became the man’s mount in the end!
That hero isn’t even worthy of serving a cup of tea to this dragon! Hmph!
“Oh, Young Master, it’s just a movie. What are you thinking about so seriously?” Liu Jianghe was helping out in the supermarket today because Uncle Liu was accompanying the Old Master.
Today, a friend of the Old Master’s, whom he had not met for many years, was coming for a visit. Uncle Liu knew that person and so had gone to the airport early in the morning to welcome him.
Ban Yu said, “Morons! It’s just a piece of junk! Xiao Liu, don’t you think that the people who make these kinds of movies have a problem in their heads?”
“Uh, maybe.” In fact, the movie reviews were pretty good. Although the plot was not that great, the acting skills displayed by the actors and the special effects were enough to cover for the weak plot.
Xiao Liu thought for a moment. “Young Master, actually, there are so many films being played in the cinema theatre right now. If you don’t like this one, then you can choose another one, right? You can ask Young Madam what kind of movie he likes to watch, and then go watch it together. It’s not a big deal anyway.”
Well, you’re right, Ban Yu thought. He hadn’t watched a movie since his soul had begun to recover. He must go and watch a movie with Feng Yang.
Feng Yang’s self-study class in the evening would continue until almost ten o’clock. After that, if Ban Yu asked him to go watch a movie, then he might be very tired for school the following morning.
Although it was impossible for Feng Yang to get tired easily, Ban Yu still took it into consideration. His little phoenix was still a little divine bird that needed protection.
So he decided to wait until the weekend.
That would give him enough time to choose a good movie, book a private room, and then set up a romantic atmosphere, then he could watch a movie with just Feng Yang by his side!
Feng Yang had a lot of things to do recently.

The class monitor had found suitable material for Feng Yang to use for the notice boards. More content to write and less to draw was exactly what Feng Yang had wanted.
After lunch, Feng Yang had nothing to do but sit and read under the willow tree. Ban Yu wandered over and asked him if he had time to go to the cinema theatre on Saturday afternoon.
“Saturday? I can’t go on Saturday. I have to stay back to do the outdoor notice boards after class. It should be quite late by the time I finish them.”
“Don’t you just need to write them out? I’ll help you,” Ban Yu said, “There’s no rule that you have to write them alone, right?”
“That is not the case.”
Some students were quick at writing, while others were slow. It was not that only one person in each class would do them. In most cases, two or three people would work on them together, writing and drawing.
Feng Yang was not good at drawing, so Wang Wei was responsible for that part of the task.
Wang Wei was not very good at studying, but he was quite proficient in art, especially in drawing and painting. His grandfather was a Master of Chinese painting and his father was an art teacher.
Perhaps he had been interested in these kinds of things since childhood, or perhaps his talent was hereditary. In short, he was very good at this aspect.
It was said that most people who painted well could write well, but Wang Wei was an exception. He wasn’t good at writing, especially on the blackboard.
On Saturday afternoon, Feng Yang came out of the classroom with Wang Wei, holding the materials needed for the outdoor notice boards, and they were followed by Zhou Xuan and Guan Jinfei.
The class monitor had a fencing lesson, so he went back first and would join them later if possible.
Feng Yang and Wang Wei first worked out the general layout and content, and then divided the work.
“The left half of this side is basically just text. Feng Yang, you should write out this piece first, and I will draw that section of the painting first.”
Wang Wei said, “Let’s try to get it done before the class monitor is done with his fencing class, and then we can go to the Fire Pot together in the evening.”
“Fire Pot” was the name of a hotpot restaurant. They all liked to eat hotpot there, thus the group also named themselves after the restaurant’s name.
“No, I can’t join you all today,” Feng Yang said. “I have an appointment.”
“Ah? With who?”
“With me.” Ban Yu suddenly came over with a few bottles of mineral water. Of course, Feng Yang’s was still hot milk in a thermos cup.
“Tonight, Yangyang and I will watch a movie together.”
“Um, that…” Wang Wei turned his back to Ban Yu and asked Feng Yang with his eyes: Is he being crazy again?
Zhou Xuan and Guan Jinfei also had the same question.
They all knew that Ban Yu had been in an accident before and that had made his head a little bit…
Still, since the usual him always regarded Feng Yang as his fiancee, no one took it to heart. Under what circumstances had Feng Yang agreed to watch a movie with Ban Yu?
That time at the Rainbow Farm, Ban Yu had insisted that Aunt Guan’s white horse was his third brother. From thereon, his image as a foolish and crazy person had become deeply rooted in the hearts of these people.
Zhou Xuan and the others had seen it for themselves, so they believed Feng Yang’s words.
Although Ban Yu usually seemed to be very normal, but… But the thing was, the ‘amnesiac’ Ban Yu had been overly doting on Feng Yang since that day, so much so that it was abnormal.
Guan Jinfei cast a look at Feng Yang that said— “Do you need help?”
Feng Yang glanced at Ban Yu, who was standing at the side with a look of pride in his eyes.
He could only laugh at his expression, and said, “After we’re done with this, I’ll go with him. You can go with the class monitor to eat hotpot without me.”
Wang Wei sullenly said, “There are only four people even with the class monitor. It’s no fun if it’s just us.”
Feng Yang slightly hesitated. In fact, he quite liked to eat hotpot.
Although many people said that spicy hotpot wasn’t good for the body, because people might suffer from internal heat if they consumed it often, he didn’t have a problem with something like that.
He was in good health, which had become much better after eating fried cicadas for breakfast regularly.
Seeing that Feng Yang was not speaking, Ban Yu asked, “Yangyang, do you like to eat hotpot?”
“En, I like it. It’s lively.”
When Feng Yang still lived in Fengtai Mountain, he didn’t have any playmates.
Surrounded by only a group of patriarchs, who were not a good substitute for jumping monkeys, and a father who only cared about his second wife and second son—had left him virtually isolated.
The patriarchs’ children hadn’t dared to play with him because they didn’t want to annoy the “second prince” who was favored by the king.
And that “second prince” younger brother had not looked up to him at all.
Only Hua Cheng alone had always accompanied him, otherwise he would have never even opened his mouth to speak.
Maybe his personality had set into stone at that time.
For a long time, he had gotten used to being lonely and didn’t like to be disturbed. But after he came to the mortal world, he experienced different kinds of excitement and suddenly felt that this was better.
Hanging out with friends, talking and laughing together—everything done with utmost sincerity.
Ban Yu then made a decision. “Then, let’s go to the hotpot restaurant together before watching the movie. After that, I’ll invite all of you to a hot spring. How about it?”
Zhou Xuan: “I think it’s a good idea.”
Wang Wei: “I’m in! I haven’t seen a movie for a long time.”
Guan Jinfei: “Then, I’ll ask the class monitor if he can come. If so, let’s buy the tickets?”
Ban Yu: “I’ll book the tickets. I already bought them in advance for me and Yangyang. I will order the same for you all.”
Guan Jinfei nodded and called the class monitor.
Ban Yu asked Feng Yang, “Yangyang, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Feng Yang took up a piece of chalk and, while writing on the blackboard, he said, “I have no problem with it. You can decide on the movie.”
Feeling that Feng Yang wasn’t upset, Ban Yu also picked up a piece of chalk.
“What are you writing?”
Feng Yang had prepared the pages in advance, so he handed a few to Ban Yu, circled some text, and roughly told him what content to write and where.
He had seen Ban Yu’s handwriting. There was absolutely no problem with him writing these.
Ban Yu was not used to writing with chalk at first, but after a few strokes, he seemed to get the feeling and wrote better.
On the other side, Guan Jinfei had contacted the class monitor. He said that he could not finish his fencing class for another two hours, and he also needed to go home to put his things back and change clothes or something.
So the group temporarily arranged to meet at the hotpot restaurant at 6:30 in the evening.
“Brother Ban, what movie tickets did you buy?” asked Guan Jinfei. “I heard that Lord of The Four Seas seems to be popular right now.”
Ban Yu raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, “But I heard that the plot of that movie is particularly bad, so I made another reservation for Yangyang and me.”
Guan Jinfei: “That’s fine. We’ll just watch the same one as you.”
Otherwise, I won’t be able to watch a movie together! That too for free!
Ban Yu looked at Guan Jinfei, but he didn’t say anything.
It was said that working on a task along with many people will improve the quality of the task by leaps and bounds, not to mention that currently, there were two immortal beings working on these outdoor notice boards.
Ban Yu and Feng Yang gradually picked up their writing speed, and they didn’t seem to have sore hands even after writing for a long time.
The outdoor notice boards were finished in less than two hours.
Wang Wei looked left and right at the other class blackboards and exclaimed, “Damn! Who can compete with us?! This is great! Our class is the fastest and has the most good-looking one!”
Feng Yang: “Let’s pack everything up and go.”
Wang Wei was a member of the hotpot restaurant, and had reserved a private room in advance.
Originally, they had thought that it would take a long time to finish the notice boards, so they had decided to go to the restaurant directly from school. But it turned out, they had finished them ahead of the expected time.
Thus, like the class monitor, they also decided to go home first, to put away their things, take a bath, and change clothes, so they could go out freely without wearing school uniforms or carrying school bags.
Ban Yu had a car, but there were too many people.
There was no time to send them home one by one, so he let these boys take a taxi by themselves. He and Feng Yang also drove back to where they lived.
He already had clothes and other necessary items placed in a room in the Four Seas Dragon Palace Hot Spring, so he didn’t need to take extra clothes to change into.
He asked Feng Yang, “Yangyang, do you want to take this pair of underpants? You can use the swimming trunks over there.”
Feng Yang washed his face, looked at his figure in the mirror, and said nothing.
After not getting an answer from him for a long time, Ban Yu asked, “Baby, what’s wrong?”
Feng Yang pressed his right eyelid, which had been twitching endlessly since he had started to work on the notice boards this afternoon.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
Ban Yu simply took down the underpants hanging on the balcony and took the initiative to put them in the bag for Feng Yang.
At the same time, someone on Fengtai Mountain finally made the discovery that something was wrong.
When the four patriarchs of the Shenfeng Clan went to pay a routine visit to the King of Phoenix, they found that all the King’s family members had disappeared!
