At that moment, Blade held Shizun's Sword tightly in both hands. There was not a trace of expression on his face; he was as cold as an ice sculpture.

A flicker of understanding showed in his eyes. He finally understood how this suddenly appearing mission had been triggered.

Clearly, Xiao Wu's approach had activated it.

Blade felt somewhat resistant toward this mission. Tasks involving emotional manipulation were truly troublesome for him and did not fit his usual style.

He preferred straightforward battles over these roundabout psychological games.

Blade lifted his eyelids and cast Xiao Wu an indifferent glance. There was not a ripple in his gaze, and his voice was so cold it seemed to carry the chill of frost:

"Xiao Wu?"

His voice was utterly flat, as though he were describing something that had nothing to do with him:

"I don't know you. That's a good thing for you."

His words carried distance and warning, causing Xiao Wu's smile to freeze for a moment.

Blade was not finished. He continued:

"And."

He paused, staring straight at Xiao Wu as his tone turned even colder.

"You're in my way."

The words were like an arrow—direct and sharp—leaving Xiao Wu looking slightly stunned.

Blade's attitude conveyed one message with absolute clarity: he wanted nothing to do with this girl who had suddenly appeared. He only wished to continue on his way, and this pink figure had become an obstacle in his path.

Xiao Wu's big eyes blinked a few times. This time, she stared at Blade without blinking and carefully studied him!

Not staring was one thing!

But the moment she did, Xiao Wu—who had never seen Blade, one of the faces of Galaxy's Finest and a Stellaron Hunter—fell instantly for him. As she looked at Blade, her gaze could not help going blank!

As if she wanted to etch every part of him into her heart.

In her eyes, Blade had a face so handsome it ought to be illegal. He was so strikingly handsome that her heartbeat sped up, nearly bursting out of her newly developed chest.

Although Blade's attitude was icy cold, his unique aura drew Xiao Wu's full attention like a magnet.

She felt that Blade's handsomeness had surpassed all normal standards. He seemed like a perfect being she could never grow tired of looking at, no matter how long she stared.

Hooligan Rabbit Xiao Wu's heart immediately filled with lovestruck bubbles. Her thoughts drifted into the clouds, completely immersed in admiring Blade.

While Xiao Wu was lost in her fantasies,

Blade had already silently passed by her side with cold indifference, and she had not noticed at all.

By the time Xiao Wu came back to herself, she had not seen enough of him!

She pouted in dissatisfaction, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks, making her look both cute and innocent.

Though Blade was cold toward her, Xiao Wu was not upset in the slightest. Instead, as she watched his retreating back, the excitement in her heart only grew stronger.

"He's definitely top-tier handsome material!" Xiao Wu secretly praised in her heart. Her eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a rare treasure.

As a soul beast with Hundred Thousand Year Cultivation, Xiao Wu had to interact with humans and integrate into their lives if she truly wished to take human form.

But as a young girl in the bloom of youth, even if Xiao Wu did not say it aloud, she longed to be around boys who were both handsome and made her feel safe.

And as for love at first sight that lasts a lifetime, it seemed Xiao Wu had felt it after only one glance—no, she was practically certain that Blade possessed both qualities.

His appearance and temperament stirred her maidenly heart in every way, drawing her in beyond resistance.

At that moment, Xiao Wu's gaze remained fixed on Blade's back, and a strange feeling suddenly rose within her.

When Blade's handsome, beautiful face was no longer directly before her eyes, she actually sensed a familiarity on him, one shared among their kind.

Just like Da Ming and Er Ming!

The feeling came so suddenly that she could not help falling into a slight daze.

Still, Xiao Wu did not dwell on where that familiarity came from. She merely felt that perhaps this was fate's arrangement, something destined in the unseen.

A sweet smile curled her lips, carrying a girl's unique cunning and playfulness, as though she were a little fox plotting something.

Soon, she skipped lightly along like a cheerful little deer and playfully bounced to Blade's side.

Her voice was lively and nimble, carrying a hint of deliberately feigned innocence:

"Ah~ handsome guy! I don't mean anything by it. I just wanted to ask whether this is Dormitory Seven. I'm a new student too!"

Xiao Wu's words carried a deliberate sense of intimacy. She seemed to be trying to close the distance between herself and Blade, while also taking the opportunity to reveal her identity in hopes of catching his attention.

However, Blade seemed entirely unconcerned.

His gaze remained fixed on Tang San's back ahead. Tang San had already opened the dormitory door and was about to fight Wang Sheng.

Blade merely gave a cold nod, which counted as an answer to Xiao Wu's question.

Though his attitude remained indifferent, that tiny response made a bright smile bloom across Xiao Wu's face again.

To her, this was already a form of acceptance from Blade, enough to make her feel satisfied and excited.

At that moment, seeing that Blade had finally responded, Xiao Wu could not help feeling delighted.

She soon noticed that Blade was heading in the same direction as her, and she immediately understood that he was also a new student of Dormitory Seven!

The discovery made her even more excited, as if she had found an unexpected new friend!

Boldly, she stared directly at Blade's profile. That breathtakingly handsome outline made it almost impossible for her to look away.

Xiao Wu's eyes gleamed with admiration, as if she were appreciating a work of art.

After a long while, she lightly covered her mouth with one small hand and let out a soft laugh.

"Ahem, you're in Dormitory Seven too. We'll be roommates from now on, so we'll be seeing each other all the time. Let's get acquainted!"

"Let's be friends!"

"Later on,"

"we can look out for each other!"

Xiao Wu's voice carried playfulness and enthusiasm. Her words revealed a natural warmth that made people want to draw close.

She raised her chin slightly, looked at Blade with resolute eyes, and continued:

"Besides, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, tell me, Xiao Wu! I can get revenge for you!"

Xiao Wu's tone carried an unquestionable force. Though she was petite, in that moment she seemed immensely strong and dependable.

Xiao Wu's voice was full of sincerity. Her bright eyes remained fixed on Blade, as though silently promising that no matter what happened, she would stand by his side as his supporter and friend.

After all, he was so handsome. If she did not protect him, who would!?

Blade had no intention of responding. He simply continued walking in silence, his steps firm and powerful, as if he intended to crush every distraction beneath his feet.

Yet Xiao Wu was like a cheerful little bird, hopping around at his side and constantly making noise. Her big eyes also seemed equipped with radar, scanning Blade without pause!

Trying to draw his attention.

Blade felt a wave of helplessness. He let out a heavy breath, which condensed into white mist in the air, revealing his inner irritation.

As Blade, his life had always been centered around completing missions. Wherever his blade pointed were those who needed to pay their price.

He had no desire to become involved with someone as irrelevant as Xiao Wu, lest she bring unnecessary trouble.

At last, he stopped and turned to face Xiao Wu. Not a trace of emotion could be found in his cold eyes.

He slowly spoke, his voice carrying unmistakable distance and warning:

"Those remembered by me never meet a good end."

His voice was deep and powerful, like a wolf's howl in the North Wind, making one shudder.

"You will not be an exception."

Blade's words were like an icy judgment—direct and cruel, leaving no room for compromise.

As lovestruck Xiao Wu listened to Blade's uniquely magnetic voice, her heartbeat could not help quickening.

For a moment, she even forgot that he was trying to push her away.

Xiao Wu asked and answered herself internally, "What is he saying?"

Xiao Wu: "No idea. All I know is that he's really handsome, and his voice sounds really good. I didn't pay any attention to the content! After all, this boy seems like the sort I haven't seen even in a hundred thousand years!"

At that moment, Blade looked like a hidden treasure of a boy in her eyes. Though he appeared cold on the outside, that mysterious temperament only fascinated her more.

As a rabbit with Hundred Thousand Year Cultivation, Xiao Wu was full of confidence in herself.

She believed that with her lively and passionate personality, she would one day slowly win Blade's heart and make him fall at her feet!

She did not take Blade's deliberate distancing to heart. Instead, she became even more curious and wanted to explore the inner world of this iceberg of a boy.

She stared unblinkingly into Blade's beautiful eyes. They carried an indescribable charm, as though endless stories were hidden within them.

Yet his sharp gaze had remained fixed in one direction.

Xiao Wu could not help wondering what could possibly attract Blade's attention so completely that even a beautiful girl like her at his side could not make him look at her twice.

Xiao Wu felt somewhat disgruntled. She recalled that ever since entering the academy,

the students along the way had stared straight at her because of her charm, which left her both annoyed and a little proud.

But things were completely different with Blade, and that made her feel somewhat defeated.

"What's with that! I, Xiao Wu, am plenty charming too, okay!?"

She silently protested in her heart. Though they had only just met, she had already sensed Blade's uniqueness, and it had also stirred up her competitive spirit. She was unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

Soon, Xiao Wu reluctantly shifted her gaze away. Following Blade's line of sight, her attention was finally drawn to the scene before Dormitory Seven.

Two people were engaged in a fierce duel there, their movements smooth and exhilarating, filled with the beauty of strength and speed.

Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow slightly. She seemed to have developed a strong interest in this sudden battle as well.
