As Release Therapy has been rolled out recently, many males have struggled to control themselves during its practice, leading to numerous incidents disturbing the public order.

This has kept the police department incredibly busy.

They had no choice but to meet with Admiral Hans of the S-Class Shelter. To address the situation, they formulated a detailed strategy and publicly re-announced the guidelines and restrictions for Release Therapy, preventing anyone from exploiting the situation.

The Fifth Research Institute was also notified to organize training courses to popularize Release Therapy for males at the grassroots level.

Furthermore, Her Majesty the Queen issued a directive to incorporate Release Therapy into textbooks, ensuring the correct principles would be taught from a young age.

This was the first official matter Her Majesty the Queen handled after returning to the Royal Palace.

With Her Majesty the Queen taking the lead, the entire Empire sprang into action.

Lu Xiao came out after changing her clothes, and Teacher Ai Li handed her a glass of water. "How was it? Were you nervous for your first day of teaching?"

That’s right. It was Lu Xiao’s turn to be the instructor for the Fifth Research Institute’s internal Release Therapy training course this week.

"It was fine. A little nervous, but mostly I was excited," Lu Xiao said, winking at Teacher Ai Li. "I’m heading to class now."

"Go on!" Teacher Ai Li waved to her, then turned to Teacher Sherry with a smile. "Xiao Xiao’s wedding is in about a week. Let’s not schedule her for any work aside from the training. We can all share the load a bit more."

"Of course," Teacher Sherry and the other two teachers agreed, readily accepting.

Lu Xiao was unaware of the arrangements Teacher Ai Li had made after she left. She was already pushing open the classroom door and stepping inside.

The trainees were all males from various regional administrative departments. The moment Lu Xiao walked in, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Lu Xiao’s reputation had spread far and wide over the past few months. Even those who had never met her had certainly heard of her.

Now that they were finally seeing her in the flesh, everyone was thrilled.

’I can’t believe she’s so young.’

"Hello, everyone. I’m Lu Xiao. I’ll be teaching your Release Therapy training course this week, and I hope we have a productive time together." Lu Xiao had prepared her lesson content beforehand. She opened her notebook and smiled. "I assume you’ve all reviewed the release guidelines and restrictions from the S-Class Shelter. With that in mind, today I’ll be discussing the initial concept of Release Therapy and its theoretical outcomes."

"Release Therapy was initially just a concept developed based on the state of our Empire. For males, prolonged suppression can cause pathological changes in their Spiritual Sea Domain. Simply put, a male’s Spirit Sea is directly linked to his emotional fluctuations. Releasing these emotions in a healthy manner is conducive to lowering the risk of Spirit Sea-related illnesses..."

Lu Xiao’s explanation was very detailed, and her voice was gentle. She wore a smile from start to finish, not once making the Male Beastmen below feel uncomfortable.

In fact, when the 45-minute lesson was over, they all felt that time had flown by. ’The first day’s class is over already?’

Everyone was left wanting more.

Lu Xiao smiled and took a sip of water. "That’s all for today’s lesson. For homework, please write a 300-word short report on your personal interpretation of Release Therapy and how it should be practiced. Turn it in tomorrow."

Faced with the homework Lu Xiao assigned, the men diligently took notes. Afterward, someone finally couldn’t hold back. "Ms. Lu Xiao, I’ve heard about you for a long time. Now that I’ve finally met you, could I get your autograph?"

As soon as the words were out, he held out his pen and notebook.

Lu Xiao hadn’t expected to be asked for an autograph and let out a surprised laugh. "Alright. Thank you for your support."

Without refusing, Lu Xiao took the notebook and wrote her name. When the others saw that she hadn’t said no, they all rushed to hand her their own.

Amused and exasperated, Lu Xiao finished signing for everyone. "Alright, it’s noon now. Everyone should hurry back for lunch. Remember to come to class tomorrow, and don’t be late."

"Don’t you worry, Teacher Lu Xiao, we definitely won’t be late!"

"That’s right! We’d miss anything before we’d miss Teacher Lu Xiao’s class!"

Seeing that Lu Xiao wasn’t as cold and unapproachable as other females, the men felt they could relax and talk more freely.

Lu Xiao walked them to the door before turning back to the office.

The moment she stepped inside, she heard Teacher Sherry remark, "My last class yesterday wasn’t nearly as lively as Lu Xiao’s first class today."

"And whose fault is that? You’re so stern and serious that no one dares to approach you," Teacher Ai Li said, pinching Teacher Sherry’s cheek. "But speaking of which, we really should learn from Xiao Xiao. At the very least, the classroom atmosphere would be better. Otherwise, even I feel it’s too stifling, which goes against the whole philosophy of Release Therapy. What do you all think?"

"I’d like to, but I really can’t force a smile. I can only try my best," Teacher Sherry said with a look of resignation.

Hearing their discussion, Lu Xiao said, "Don’t be anxious, Teacher Sherry. We’ve all just become instructors. It’s just a matter of slowly figuring out a teaching style that’s right for you."

"Darling, you’re so wonderfully understanding!" Teacher Sherry said with a smile, reaching out to give her a hug. "I’ve actually been watching replays of my lectures these past two days, and I’ve also watched some videos of other professional teachers. I realized that everyone is different, but the most important thing is to present the course material clearly."

Hearing this, Teacher Ai Li hummed softly. "Well, look at you, Teacher Sherry. I didn’t realize you were working so hard in private."

Teacher Sherry heard the teasing in Teacher Ai Li’s voice and her cheeks flushed. "I just don’t want to be the worst one! What’s wrong with putting in some secret effort!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was charmed by Teacher Sherry’s words.

Lu Xiao was actually a bit surprised by how seriously everyone was taking the development of the Release Therapy training courses.

Perhaps it was because of this dedication that once the systematic Release Therapy was officially implemented, it yielded excellent results throughout the Empire.

However, as Release Therapy continued to spread, many females discovered they could no longer suppress males as easily as before.

The males no longer held back, no longer endured in silence, and no longer bowed their heads. It was as if, with the popularization of Release Therapy, they had gained minds of their own.

The number of divorce cases initiated by males that the Government Affairs Hall had to process recently had increased. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Even though males who divorced were stripped of their assets and faced punishment, many still stood up and actively sought to dissolve their unhappy marriages.

The numbers were so high that it even became a trending topic—

"I happened to go to the Government Affairs Hall to run an errand today, and I saw a huge line at the divorce window!"

"Seriously, why are there so many divorces now? Isn’t anyone afraid of the punishment?"

"It’s better to divorce than to live a life of constant compromise. The punishment is only temporary. Didn’t Release Therapy teach us not to suppress ourselves and to act according to our hearts? I’m not going to lie to you all, ever since I got divorced, even though the physical punishment hasn’t fully healed, I’ve truly never felt so relaxed and free!"
