Xu Nan was at his wits' end.

Being handsome already invited jealousy. Now that this passive specialty had activated, he would probably run into trouble wherever he went. It was fine while the Foreign Language Club was full of female students, but what if he encountered some powerful female professional who forcibly abducted him?

Just as he was desperately searching for a solution, two figures—one tall and one short—boarded the bus.

His eyes lit up at first, then his face darkened.

The woman in front was tall and graceful, dressed in a white tracksuit. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she radiated youthful energy.

She was Zhang Yingluo, the senior Xu Nan had liked ever since joining the club.

And wasn't the bouncing girl behind her Qin Lele, that troublesome girl he had bumped into last night?

Xu Nan had not yet figured out what their relationship was.

Zhang Yingluo strode over imperiously, glanced at the other five girls, and asked,

"What's going on?"

A strange aura suddenly descended. Xu Nan was astonished to find that the girls who had been arguing moments ago all showed fear.

"Sit down. We'll be leaving soon."

The senior said it calmly.

The other five girls looked unwillingly at the seat beside Xu Nan.

Zhang Yingluo raised an eyebrow and sat down without another word.

The five girls looked devastated. They could only leave together and find seats elsewhere.

"Lele, go find a seat up front," the senior said.

Qin Lele grinned shyly. "Cousin, I want to sit on your lap."

Zhang Yingluo snapped, "Stop fooling around! If you don't behave, I'll kick you off the bus."

Qin Lele was displeased. "Then I want to sit on the handsome guy next to you's lap."

Zhang Yingluo's face darkened.

"Lele, be polite." She tried to keep her voice calm.

"It's fine. He confessed to me last night." Qin Lele pointed at Xu Nan, her eyes sparkling. "Although I rejected him, we're still really close!"

Zhang Yingluo froze and looked at Xu Nan in disbelief. "You're that pervert..."

Xu Nan awkwardly spread his hands. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding. I did meet this friend last night, but children shouldn't talk nonsense. The confession and all that was just a misunderstanding."

He had already figured it out. Qin Lele called Zhang Yingluo her cousin, so they clearly had a close relationship. He absolutely could not make another mistake.

Judging from Zhang Yingluo's tone, Qin Lele had told her about last night?

And the Winnie the Pooh incident... The moment Xu Nan thought of it, he wanted to die.

Qin Lele was unhappy. "Men really are fickle. I still kept that rose from last night!"

As she spoke, she somehow pulled out several petals that looked like wilted, ruined flowers.

Everyone in the bus turned to look.

The girls looked shocked. "So Xu Nan likes minors... We never had a chance."

The boys were indignant. "Just because he's handsome, he can do whatever he wants?"

Xu Nan looked numbly at Qin Lele and Zhang Yingluo. "If I said I was only practicing confessing at the time, would you believe me?"

The two of them shook their heads together.

Xu Nan covered his face and adopted an ostrich posture. "Then forget it."

He planned to keep his head down for the rest of this Foreign Language Club outing. He had originally thought he could find a way to get closer to Senior Zhang Yingluo, but who would have thought that Qin Lele, the girl he had casually confessed to, was actually Zhang Yingluo's cousin? There was no way to explain this now.

Qin Lele snorted and unhappily sat in the empty seat in front of them. The skinny boy beside her, whose face was censored, was instantly flattered.

A victorious smile curled across Zhang Yingluo's lips as she quietly dismissed her professional skill, Strong Deterrence.

The more she looked at Xu Nan, the more she felt that Qin Lele had been lying last night. How could such a handsome junior possibly confess to a little brat who still smelled of milk?

If anyone was going to be confessed to, it should be a mature woman like herself.

Looking at Xu Nan's pained expression, he had definitely been wronged.

He had to have been.

At that thought, Zhang Yingluo felt softhearted, sad, and even heartbroken. When Qin Lele restlessly glanced back in their direction, Zhang Yingluo shot her an especially fierce glare.

Qin Lele looked completely baffled.

Xu Nan, meanwhile, decided to carry out his ostrich plan to the end. Before he solved the problem of his overflowing charm, it was best not to interact with women.

However, many things were beyond his control.

The bus slowly started moving. The cabin temporarily fell quiet.

A faint fragrance drifted over. Xu Nan's body trembled as a gentle voice whispered by his ear,

"What's wrong, Xu Nan? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

As the Foreign Language Club's Vice President, Zhang Yingluo felt obligated to comfort this junior who had only recently joined the club.

Xu Nan suddenly looked up and saw the Senior Zhang Yingluo of his dreams gazing at him affectionately.

At that moment, he was suffering and happy at the same time!

The first time he had met her, the senior's attitude toward Xu Nan had been fairly normal—gentle, yet carrying a polite distance. But this time, she seemed as though she had taken drugs, her cheeks flushed bright red.

He knew this was entirely the effect of his specialty!

Xu Nan had no interest in using such methods to gain a woman's favor, or even love!

He wanted Senior Zhang Yingluo to fall in love with him through his own efforts and devotion!

I have to find a way to reject her. Looking at her now, she might pounce on me any second!

At that moment, Xu Nan's ideological awareness was elevated. At that moment, he stood together with all those harem anime protagonists who were impotent despite being surrounded by women.

"I'm fine..."

Just as he was about to say something that would lower the senior's favorability toward him, a dialog box suddenly popped up before his eyes—

Ron Sorcerer Secret Method Mission Activated Mission Name: Come On, Shura Field! Mission Description: Every Ron Sorcerer is known for being passionate and romantic. If you don't dare express your feelings to the women you like, what kind of sorcerer are you!? Before the tour bus reaches its destination, confess your love to three women on the bus at the same time and make them believe that you are sincere. Friendly reminder: after completing the mission, a major shura field disaster may occur. Mission Reward: 10 Shame Points; First Layer of Arcane Art - Lost Paradise

At that instant, Xu Nan's eyes went wide.

What the hell? Knowing full well that a major shura field disaster would happen, it still wanted him to take the risk?

Confess to three women at once?

No matter how handsome he was, he could not handle that! Xu Nan knew history should serve as a warning. Makoto, who had straddled N boats, probably had graveyard grass that could circle the globe several times by now!

Xu Nan instinctively wanted to refuse!

Ten Shame Points were indeed precious, but he did not want to take the risk. Yet when he saw the second reward, he could not look away.

It was actually Arcane Art - Lost Paradise!

Though it was only the first layer, it was already incredibly tempting.

The bloodline knowledge of Ron Sorcerers had once mentioned Lost Paradise. It was an exclusive plane jointly created by the strongest Ron Sorcerers.

Lost Paradise contained many treasures buried by Ron Sorcerers before their deaths. To a Ron Sorcerer, the words Lost Paradise meant endless treasure!

On Xu Nan's bloodline secret method list, the option to unlock Lost Paradise was gray. It could not even be bought with Shame Points.

This proved that he would most likely only gain a chance to enter and leave Lost Paradise by completing specific missions.

Ron Sorcerer equipment, Bloodline Fruit, knowledge, books... all of it tempted Xu Nan.

He hesitated.

If he refused this mission, would he get another chance next time?

Zhang Yingluo's slightly shy voice drifted over. "Xu Nan, where are you looking..."

It turned out that where Xu Nan's blank stare had landed on the mission panel was rather inappropriate.

Qin Lele muttered from the front row, "Shameless couple!"

"I was clearly here first..."

Xu Nan suddenly snapped out of it. He gritted his teeth, looked at the quiet bus and his seat, which had clearly become the eye of the storm, and decided to stop being an ostrich!

Let the storm come even harder!

Wasn't it just confessing? He had already done it twice last night. Three more times today—you can do it, Xu Nan!

That was how he encouraged himself.

He accepted the mission and took a deep breath.

Then Xu Nan tapped Qin Lele on the shoulder in front of him. "Lend me the rose."

Qin Lele gave an "oh" and handed the handful of rose petals to Xu Nan.

Holding the rose petals, Xu Nan gazed deeply at the flushed Zhang Yingluo under everyone's watchful eyes. "Senior... I really was practicing confessing last night."

"Because the person I truly wanted to confess to was you."

"The person I like is you!"

The bus erupted in wails. Several girls clutched their chests as though they could not breathe.

Zhang Yingluo's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Her rational mind told her she absolutely could not believe Xu Nan, even if he was incredibly handsome.

Yet her body moved closer of its own accord, and she accepted half the rose petals.

Xu Nan silently glanced at his character card. At that moment, not only was Radiant Presence shining brightly, but Negotiation Expert was also adding fuel to the fire.

Mission Completion: 1/3.

Zhang Yingluo had been won over by his Strategy Guide. She fell into sweet confusion, and her earlier dominance vanished completely.

Xu Nan sighed inwardly and shifted his gaze to the thirty-sixth junior Qin, who was pouting in the front row.

"...But actually, after practicing confessing last night, I realized... I seem to like you too, Lele..."

The moment he called her Lele, Xu Nan himself wanted to throw up. Yet everyone else looked as if this were perfectly natural!

Only the boys wore shocked expressions that seemed to say, "You can do that?"

Boss Xu Nan had actually confessed to the famous Foreign Language Club pair of beauties, Zhang Yingluo and Qin Lele, at the same time on the bus?

Was this for real?

The key was that Qin Lele had happily accepted Xu Nan's rose petals? And Zhang Yingluo seemed not to have processed what Xu Nan had said yet?

Wuwuwu!

The bus erupted in wails again, but this time, it was the boys.

"So being handsome really does mean you can do whatever you want."

Everyone did not forget to take pictures and post them to Moments, spreading the news far and wide.

Mission Completion: 2/3.

Xu Nan struck while the iron was hot. With his right hand, he quietly took out his phone, opened WeChat, and randomly tapped the profile picture of a girl from the Foreign Language Club.

"I lied to them. The person I truly like is you!"

Xu Nan typed one-handed at astonishing speed, precisely locked onto that girl's location, and cast Charm Person on her!

The girl who had looked ashen moments ago lowered her head to check WeChat, then suddenly let out a blissful scream!

An indescribable atmosphere filled the bus.

Mission Completion: 3/3.

Obtained 10 Shame Points!

Obtained the First Layer of Arcane Art - Lost Paradise

Xu Nan let out a long breath.

A stream of mysterious information flooded into his mind and was instantly absorbed, as though he had always known this secret method.

More importantly, he suddenly knew how to solve the problem of being too conspicuous due to his excessive charm.

He opened his character card and lightly tapped the Radiant Presence specialty. A secondary prompt immediately appeared.

Hide specialty effect?

Xu Nan chose to confirm.

The next second.

Zhang Yingluo suddenly seemed to awaken from a dream. Clutching half a handful of rose petals, she stared fiercely at Xu Nan.

"What did you just do?"

...!
