Sleeping Together?

By the time he made it back to the dorm, he had already been holding on by a thread of sheer willpower. His mind felt unbearably heavy, and he could fall asleep at any moment. How could he have any strength left to spare?

After trying to push a few times, he could not budge her at all.

Lu Leng gave up.

His eyelids were already fighting each other.

He had been able to hold on before, but the moment he lay down on the bed, his body instantly felt incomparably heavy, and that thread of willpower snapped.

I can't hold on anymore...

Then.

In less than a second.

He fell asleep.

The next day, it seemed Mimis knew Lu Leng and Hu Liena would be sleeping like the dead.

So, she did not come looking for them. Instead, she thoughtfully wrote them each a leave note.

By late morning, inside Dorm 023.

Hu Liena finally woke up, but she still did not want to open her eyes. She planned to doze a little longer, because she had slept exceptionally peacefully.

"Mm~"

She let out a lazy sound, then instinctively hugged the thing in her arms tighter while wrapping her long legs around it.

It was her habit. She could not sleep without something to hold.

But two seconds later, Hu Liena realized something was off. The thing she was hugging today was soft and plump, soft on the outside but hard within, and it even seemed to move.

Suspiciously, she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a patch of black.

She touched it. It was hair.

Mm, it must be her teddy bear's hair.

Then it was fine.

Go back to sleep.

Wait!

Hair?

Black? I remember my teddy bear being pink. Then this is...

Hu Liena opened her eyes again and leaned back slightly, then saw the face against her chest clearly.

Her eyes instantly widened, her beautiful eyes filled with terror and disbelief. It was Lu Leng! How was he in my bed?

We actually slept together!!? Countless thoughts raced through Hu Liena's mind, but she did not scream like they did in television dramas. Television dramas were all lies, just exaggerated nonsense.

She first thought for three seconds, recalling what had happened the previous night, then looked over her own body.

Neither of them had taken off their clothes. That reassured her greatly.

Next, she looked around and realized this was not her room, making her understand even more.

But even after learning the truth, she could not stay here any longer. It was fine while Lu Leng was still asleep, but if he woke up, how could she ever face anyone again? So, she pushed Lu Leng out of her arms, then slowly withdrew the leg wrapped around him. Her movements were gentle, afraid of waking him.

But at that very moment, Lu Leng woke up.

He opened his eyes.

The two immediately stared wide-eyed at each other.

The air instantly fell into utter silence.

A second later, Lu Leng closed his eyes and began snoring.

Seeing this, Hu Liena hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes, opened the door, and left.

Fortunately, there was no one outside either. Hu Liena finally relaxed completely and quickly returned to her own dorm.

She looked back at Dorm 023.

A smile tugged at her lips. What terrible acting.

At the same time, Lu Leng opened his eyes inside the room.

She didn't see through my acting, did she?

Nothing happened on the second day.

Training resumed on the third day. When the two met, they greeted each other as though neither knew anything.

Based on their progress, Mimis had them undergo half a day of Battle Emotion training before moving on to the next phase of the plan.

This made both of them breathe a sigh of relief, afraid that what happened the night before might happen again.

And so, amid fulfilling yet intense training, a semester quickly came to an end. Lu Leng's strength also successfully broke through to Level 25.

Lu Leng and Hu Liena bade Mimis farewell and returned to Spirit Hall.

But Bibi Dong had calculated the vacation schedule and sent Chrysanthemum Douluo to tell them that they were to continue training with Mimis during the break. They were not permitted to return to Spirit Hall unless one of them became first place on the academy's strength rankings.

Since Bibi Dong had issued this order, it seemed she also knew about the situation at Spirit Academy.

Clearly, she would not allow the position of Holy Son to fall into another family's hands, so she would not let Lu Leng and Hu Liena waste a single opportunity to cultivate.

When Lu Leng heard the news, he thought of Zi Qingyang and his prized disciple, Jin Zhengyang. His fists clenched tightly. Even without Bibi Dong's warning, he would never let them succeed.

This was not only for Mimis, but also for Bibi Dong, and even more so for himself.

What kind of transmigrator could not even become the Holy Son? What the hell would be the point of transmigrating?

"Teacher Mimis, how much time do we have left?" Lu Leng asked.

"Counting this vacation, less than nine months remain."

Nine months was somewhat urgent for Lu Leng.

Jin Zhengyang was not yet twenty, yet his strength had already reached the terrifying Level 48. With Lu Leng's current strength, fighting someone around Level 40 posed no problem at all, but against Level 48, he did not have enough confidence.

And if he wanted to defeat him, the only way was to raise his own strength to Level 30.

After reaching Level 30, he would not only gain another soul skill, but his strength would also undergo a qualitative leap.

Yet he was only Level 25 now.

Raising five levels in nine months was indeed no easy task.

Moreover, during those nine months, his opponent would not be standing still and waiting for them.

Although it was unlikely for Level 48 to break through to Level 50, what if it happened? Lu Leng wore a troubled expression, and Hu Liena's face looked much the same. She had now reached Level 32, which was already extremely fast progress, and this was the result of Mimis's extreme training.

She was not as freakish as Lu Leng. To defeat Jin Zhengyang, her Soul Power would need to reach at least Level 40 before she was qualified to challenge him.

"Teacher Mimis, can I break through to Level 30 within nine months?" Lu Leng asked.

"With your talent, training without interruption for nine months and gaining another four levels will not be a problem, which means Level 29. But the higher Soul Power rises, the harder it becomes to improve. Sometimes, even raising a single level is extremely difficult. Nine months is too short. Breaking through to Level 30 is a very risky prospect! Or rather, there is almost no hope!"

Mimis shook her head. No matter how talented Lu Leng was, time was what it was. There was nothing she could do.

Was there really no way? No, there was definitely a way.

Lu Leng searched through his memories.

Very quickly, he thought of something.

This thing had been extremely important even in the original story, and its effects could continue for tens of thousands of years into the future. If he could obtain it, Lu Leng would definitely be able to break through to Level 30 in a short time.

And there would be no side effects.

It was the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

I had originally planned to raid it in a few years. Looks like plans can't keep up with changes. At that thought, a cruel smile appeared on Lu Leng's lips. The more dangerous the time, the more he had to go. After all, being a transmigrator was all about the thrill.

Besides, what if his arrival had changed history and caused Tang San to obtain those Immortal Herbs ahead of time? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
