Chapter 37

Their outing lasted until evening. After Alicia returned to Blue Tyrant Academy with Lu Mingchuan and they went back to the house they shared, they found Mirror Flow sitting quietly at the dining table with several dishes laid out before her. Huang Quan emerged from the kitchen carrying the final dish.

She glanced at the two who had just returned, signaling for them to wash their hands and eat.

"Yay, I'm a little hungry after wandering around for so long." Alicia gave Huang Quan a wink, then happily ran toward the bathroom.

Watching this, Lu Mingchuan felt something indescribable rise in his heart. He understood that this feeling was called happiness. Smiling, he followed Alicia into the bathroom. By the time he came back out, the other three were already seated at the table waiting for him.

"Ah Chuan, you're so slow. I'm practically starving," Alicia said listlessly.

Lu Mingchuan quickly walked over and sat down. Once everyone was present, Alicia perked up and announced that it was time to eat.

That evening, Lu Mingchuan sat in his room, somewhat curious about who would be keeping him company today.

"Creak."

A jade-like hand pushed open the door, followed by an ivory-white leg stepping inside. The moment he saw that leg, he knew who it was tonight. Sure enough, Mirror Flow entered wearing pajamas, her white hair and red eyes striking, then closed the door behind her.

Seeing the blush on Mirror Flow's face, Lu Mingchuan sensed that something was off, though he could not say what. He soon found out, however, when something soft touched his lips, followed by a warm, soft body throwing itself into his arms.

That familiar domineering manner left Lu Mingchuan both enjoying himself and feeling somewhat stifled. Soon, though, he had no time to feel stifled, because Mirror Flow's assault grew fiercer and fiercer. He was already starting to feel the suffocation he had felt the first time he kissed Huang Quan.

Who knew how long passed before the satisfied Mirror Flow slowly raised her head. She licked the corner of her lips, then turned and climbed onto the bed, patting the space beside her to signal Lu Mingchuan to lie down.

"It's getting late. Let's rest soon."

Lu Mingchuan did not know what to say when he saw her like this. He could only lie down beside her helplessly. Immediately afterward, he felt Mirror Flow's soft body burrow into his embrace. He reached out and pulled her slightly cool body closer, and once it felt about right, he wished her good night and closed his eyes.

Feeling that Lu Mingchuan had stopped moving after holding her in his arms, a trace of disappointment appeared in Mirror Flow's eyes. "Heh, all desire and no courage."

She then wrapped an arm around Lu Mingchuan as well and closed her eyes.

Perhaps it was only an illusion, but as Mirror Flow held Lu Mingchuan, the irritating voices that would occasionally sound in her ears in the past had now completely vanished. In their place was a faint sense of peace spreading through her heart.

That peace made her feel intoxicated, and she slowly fell asleep in that intoxication.

While those two slept soundly, Alicia made her move. Hugging her pillow, she headed for Huang Quan's room. After pushing open the door and seeing Huang Quan's puzzled gaze, she habitually put on her pitiful little expression.

"Ah Quan, I'm scared to sleep alone, so can you sleep with me?"

Huang Quan was even more confused upon hearing that. But on second thought, she had also been unable to sleep after separating from Lu Mingchuan this time. This pink-haired girl was probably much the same. As the eldest sister, she ought to comfort the youngest.

With that thought, she nodded. The moment she did, Alicia pounced onto Huang Quan's bed and rolled around before pulling the still-dazed Huang Quan down beside her. "Mm-hmm, it really is more comfortable to sleep with a beautiful girl."

Huang Quan did not know what to say and could only nod silently. After thinking for a moment, she said, "All right, don't be afraid. I'm here."

At those words, Alicia nodded her pink-haired head vigorously, mischief flashing in her eyes. She immediately burrowed into Huang Quan's arms. Huang Quan patted her back, and Alicia found a comfortable position before closing her eyes.

The night passed without a word.

The next day, the moment Lu Mingchuan opened his eyes, something soft forcefully covered his lips. After a while, Mirror Flow explained, "That was a good morning kiss."

"Where did you learn that?" He was somewhat puzzled. The Mirror Flow he knew was crazy and aloof, but the current Mirror Flow was like some kind of lewd fiend. It felt like her cute side had surfaced, yet it also did not feel that way. It was truly strange.

The two lingered under the blankets for a while longer. Mirror Flow got up first and returned to her room to change. After she left, Lu Mingchuan began changing as well.

After getting dressed, Lu Mingchuan stepped out of his room and stretched. A door opened beside him, and when he turned his head, he saw Alicia in pajamas emerging from Huang Quan's room. She also noticed Lu Mingchuan stretching.

"Hehe." Alicia stuck out her tongue at him, then darted back into her room. Seeing this, he could only let out a heartfelt sigh.

"As expected of the Elysian Realm Lesbian. Truly terrifying!"

After sighing, he saw the fully dressed Huang Quan come out. Upon seeing Lu Mingchuan, she said that she was going to make breakfast, then turned and headed off to wash up without giving him a chance to respond. Faced with this, he could only accept this delicious soft life.

Meanwhile, Liu Erlong, who had been traveling at full speed, finally arrived at Suotuo City. In the original story, Tang San and his group had only taken two days to travel there. As a Soul Sage, Liu Erlong needed only one day when traveling at full speed.

After asking around repeatedly, she arrived at Shrek Academy and met Flender.

"Erlong." Flender still could not quite believe that Liu Erlong had come looking for him on her own initiative. But after hearing her explanation, he fell silent. He knew it—how could Liu Erlong possibly have come specifically to see him?

Still, he did know about that young man's claim that Yu Xiaogang would come to Shrek after some time. After telling Liu Erlong about it, he felt rather bitter as he watched her excited expression. His goddess was his brother's simp—who could understand that feeling?

But then he reconsidered. Was helping others find happiness not a kind of happiness in itself? When they got married in the future, he would have contributed too. At least he would not have no sense of involvement at all. Thinking this, his heart felt much more comforted.

He then found Liu Erlong the best place in the entire academy. Looking at the shabby little house before her, it was Liu Erlong's turn to fall silent. She simply could not imagine how Flender and Zhao Wuji, together with a whole group of high-level Soul Masters, had ended up in such dire straits.

She politely declined Flender's goodwill and planned to buy a house in Suotuo City herself. After all, she had barely spent any money over the years and could be considered quite wealthy. With that thought, she took out two thousand Gold Soul Coins and handed them to Flender.

"Boss Flender, take this money first and improve those children's meals. I don't want Xiao Gang to arrive and see students as skinny as bamboo poles."

He had no choice but to accept the money. After all, he really was poor.

There were rather few beautiful pictures of Huang Quan, so here's another one.
