Looking at the Points he had accumulated—already enough for ten draws—Lu Mingchuan considered it, then closed the system. He still had other things to do.

He found a passerby and asked where to register. After locating the teacher in charge of registration, he met the Principal through him.

The Principal was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but Level 42 Soul Power was far from ordinary in Nuoding City.

Upon meeting the Principal, Lu Mingchuan said, "Hello, Principal. I'm a newly enrolled student."

"I know you. The genius with Innate Full Soul Power. What do you need from me?"

"Nothing major. I just want to discuss a few conditions."

"What conditions?"

Lu Mingchuan then stated his terms. "I want to arrange my own schedule, and I want a dormitory room of my own at the academy."

"Fine!"

The Principal agreed without hesitation. After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Lu Mingchuan found an opportunity to leave behind quite a few Silver Soul Coins before departing.

Watching Lu Mingchuan and Huang Quan's retreating figures, the Principal let out a long breath.

"That woman's presence is so oppressive. What are people like them doing at a tiny place like Nuoding Academy?" He then laughed at himself. There was no way he could fathom the thoughts of people like that. He only needed to do his own job well.

Leaving the Principal to lament life, Lu Mingchuan was now holding his dorm key as he headed toward his room. As for why he had not moved out, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yu Xiaogang were all here.

If he moved out, he would have far fewer chances to farm Points. As for attending class, they were only teaching common knowledge at the moment. As an old bookworm, Lu Mingchuan had long memorized all of it by heart.

Moreover, ever since drawing Gaze of the Hunt, Lu Mingchuan felt that his mind had become much clearer. Even after six years, he could still recall the Immortal Herb Redemption Code.

On the way, Lu Mingchuan looked at Huang Quan beside him and suddenly said, "Thanks."

Huang Quan shook her head. "It was nothing. Just a small effort."

"But you still helped me."

Seeing that Huang Quan wanted to continue arguing with him, Lu Mingchuan hurriedly changed the subject.

"Before we knew it, it's already noon. By the way, what do you want for lunch today?"

"Anything is fine."

"Then shall we go try the food at the school cafeteria?"

"As you wish."

Seeing her response, Lu Mingchuan nodded and decided on dinner for the day. The two then arrived at their dormitory. Looking at the Small Western-style House-like dorm, Lu Mingchuan could not help but sigh. "Sure enough, strength gets you privileges anywhere."

Huang Quan did not respond. Lu Mingchuan opened the door and walked inside. It had two bedrooms and a living room, with a bathroom and kitchen fully equipped. There was not even any dust, so it was clearly cleaned regularly.

Lu Mingchuan nodded in satisfaction. His Soul Coins had been well spent. After Huang Quan helped him briefly unpack, they headed out to the cafeteria for a meal.

After asking for directions all the way to the cafeteria, Lu Mingchuan spotted an acquaintance the moment he arrived at the entrance—Tang San. Several people surrounded Tang San, including a pink figure. It was Xiao Wu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit from the original story.

So this is the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Rogue Rabbit? Heh, a Rogue Rabbit paired with a Buddha—truly the perfect match.

Lu Mingchuan had no interest in a woman like that. Wasn't his Huang Quan wonderful enough? Why find some unreasonable, barbaric troublemaker to disgust himself?

In the original story, that thing caused Tang San no small amount of trouble. She only improved somewhat in the middle and later stages, because everyone else had been written out. Only a great saint like Tang Buddha could tolerate her.

To Lu Mingchuan, this was another source of Points.

While Lu Mingchuan was thinking, Xiao Wu had already noticed him. After all, this was the first time she had seen someone in Nuoding Academy as handsome as the readers, so she could not help looking at him a few more times.

Tang San followed Xiao Wu's gaze and saw his target. The instant he saw Lu Mingchuan, Tang San clenched his fists tightly before loosening them again.

Tang San then hurriedly dragged Xiao Wu away with the group. Xiao Wu resisted slightly along the way, but Tang San did not release her until they had gone somewhere Lu Mingchuan could no longer be seen. He then explained his twisted version of events to the group.

"Don't worry. Since he's your enemy, Big Sister Xiao Wu will definitely avenge you."

Xiao Wu said this while patting her flat chest.

Lu Mingchuan watched Tang San's group leave, curled his lips in boredom, and led Huang Quan toward the second floor.

As they headed upstairs, Huang Quan's appearance caused a small commotion. However, no one came to harass her. Her intimidating appearance alone was enough to crush such thoughts.

Lu Mingchuan led Huang Quan to a relatively quiet spot and ordered some dishes. Then a mocking voice reached his ears. However, it was not mocking Lu Mingchuan, but Tang San's group.

"Isn't this Wang Sheng and his bunch of paupers?"

Tang San looked toward the voice and saw a group of older students standing on the staircase between the first and second floors, looking down at them from above.

One male student, handsome and around eleven or twelve years old, had undisguised contempt in his eyes as he wagged a finger at Wang Sheng. "Paupers will always be paupers. You probably won't ever be able to eat on the second floor."

As the leader of the Work-Study Students, Xiao Wu naturally stepped forward without hesitation. "Who do you think you are? What's so great about the second floor?"

One of the Work-Study Students beside her leaned close and whispered, "The second floor is where you order dishes individually. It's very expensive. We really can't afford it."

What followed was Xiao Wu wanting to go up to the second floor for revenge, only to be stopped by Tang San. Xiao Wu looked at him disdainfully. "You're that afraid of trouble?"

As Lu Mingchuan ate his meal, he felt his horizons broaden. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was getting worked up over an eleven- or twelve-year-old child. She had probably lived all those years on Scarlet King.

He then looked away and turned to Huang Quan beside him. Sensing his gaze, Huang Quan turned her head and looked at him in confusion. "What is it?"

"Nothing. I just saw something dirty, so I'm looking at something beautiful to cleanse my eyes."

Hearing that, Huang Quan merely nodded faintly, turned back, and continued eating. Lu Mingchuan was not surprised. As a Huang Quan fan, he naturally understood her personality, and her reaction was exactly as he had expected.

What Lu Mingchuan did not know was that the ears hidden beneath Huang Quan's hair had reddened slightly.
