This Man Is Totally My Type

But how could Tang San agree?

Not only did he intend to stay, he also wanted to keep a close eye on that man—even teach him a lesson.

Although Xiao Wu refused to say anything, he was certain something must have happened.

That line, "How you choose is up to you," was like a thorn lodged in his heart, filling him with a sense of danger.

He softened his tone and earnestly promised Xiao Wu, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll protect you."

Xiao Wu merely forced a faint smile.

Protect me? If he really is a Titled Douluo, how could you possibly protect me?

On their way back, they saw Zhu Zhuqing again.

She was stopping another girl and saying something to her.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing was speaking with Ning Rongrong.

"Your name is Ning Rongrong, right? I have something to discuss with you."

Ning Rongrong had run away from home and wandered around aimlessly.

Today, she had happened to hear about an academy here that only accepted Monsters. On a whim, she came to see whether she qualified as one herself.

She had only just joined the line when a black-clad maiden with an incredibly stunning figure stopped her.

She pointed at herself in surprise. "You know me?"

Am I really that famous? People recognize me even in a backwater like this?

Zhu Zhuqing was a little nervous. She glanced at the Shrek Academy teacher nearby, who was handling admissions.

Only after seeing that he was not paying attention did she lower her voice. "Could you come with me for a moment? Just across the street, not far. I only need to say a few words."

Ning Rongrong found the girl utterly baffling. She had walked right up and called her by name. She was either an enemy or a friend.

She planted her hands on her hips and raised her voice. "Hmph, why should I go with you? If you have something to say, say it here!"

She did not lower her voice, drawing curious looks from several applicants nearby.

When they saw that the two were both strikingly beautiful maidens, those gazes immediately became more direct and fervent.

Even if they failed the assessment, getting to admire beauties up close would make the trip worthwhile.

With so many people staring at her, Zhu Zhuqing's face heated slightly.

She had not wanted to attract attention, but Ning Rongrong insisted on making a scene.

Now she was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Forget it. She would just grit her teeth and do it. It was better than turning back and seeing disappointment in her teacher's eyes.

"Miss Ning, my teacher wants to see you."

"Who is your teacher? Just because he wants to see me, I have to go?" Ning Rongrong's tone turned sharper, carrying seventy percent petulance and thirty percent wariness.

This was her usual way of protecting herself.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt that this girl was truly difficult to deal with. In her desperation, she even considered whether she should simply grab her and drag her over.

Just then, she looked up and caught sight of Lin Feng standing quietly at the entrance of the small courtyard across the street, watching her.

He still had that excessively handsome face, along with that damn charm that had nowhere to go.

She could not resist him herself, but what about Ning Rongrong?

As though she had seized her last straw, Zhu Zhuqing raised a hand and pointed across the street. "Look, that's my teacher. There, he's right over there. He wants to have a chat with you."

Ning Rongrong followed the direction of Zhu Zhuqing's finger, and her gaze was instantly glued in place.

Lin Feng's maxed-out charm of 99 was shining brilliantly at that moment, with spectacular results.

This man is totally my type!

The little person in Ning Rongrong's heart immediately began screaming. Fine, I admit it! I'm done pretending! I, Ning Rongrong, am a hopeless face fanatic!

"Ha—"

Her tone immediately became cheerful. "You should've said he was your teacher earlier! Come on, come on, let's go talk to him right now!"

She even seemed to be urging Zhu Zhuqing along instead.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned by the drastic change in her attitude.

That solved it?

Her teacher truly was her teacher. He could land a precise strike with his face alone.

Watching Ning Rongrong's attitude change in an instant, Zhu Zhuqing felt speechless.

Well, she had struggled for so long, yet it was not as effective as her teacher simply standing there.

However, neither of them noticed that the commotion had already caught the attention of Li Song, who was in charge of admissions.

He looked in the direction Zhu Zhuqing was pointing and saw not only that outrageously handsome young man, but also the brand-new plaque at a glance—Supreme Academy.

A man with excessive charm usually attracted women, while other men would only see him as an enemy.

So Li Song immediately took a dislike to Lin Feng.

"Hiss—"

Li Song sucked in a breath and rubbed his eyes. "When did an academy appear across the street?"

He clearly remembered that it had not been there yesterday.

If that was an academy, then this black-clad girl was not here to register...

"Damn it!"

He instantly realized what was happening. "They're here to poach our applicants!"

This was practically cutting off his source of income and obstructing him from meeting today's "revenue generation" target!

He had spent the entire morning hustling and had only collected a few hundred Gold Coins. His KPI was still nowhere near met. How could he let someone steal people away right in front of him?

Anger shot straight to his head. He slammed a hand onto the table with a muffled bang, seizing the initiative.

"Hmph! You two brats, stop right there!"

He shouted sternly, then slowly rose to his feet and approached the two girls with the pressure unique to a Soul Master. His gaze was mostly fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.

"You're from that academy across the street? You dare poach people right in front of me? Do you know where this is? Do you understand the rules?"

Zhu Zhuqing's heart tightened.

But when she caught sight of Lin Feng across the street, calm and unhurried as ever, she gathered her courage and forced herself to retort, "So what if I am? I'm taking my friend over to say a few words. Is that something you need to interfere with too?"

Ning Rongrong merely watched the show and had no intention of stepping in. Her eyes remained fixed on Lin Feng.

"Hmph! Poaching is poaching, yet you call her a friend? Do you think I'm deaf? I heard every word!" Li Song's voice deepened.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lin Feng across the street, who seemed completely unconcerned, and she was so angry inside that she wanted to stomp her foot.

Teacher, hurry up! I can't hold this mess together much longer. Sigh, I'm so tired!

After holding it in for a long time, she finally forced out, "What does it matter whether you heard it or not?"

With that, she went around Li Song, grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand, and tried to rush across the street.

Li Song was thoroughly enraged.

In front of so many people, two little girls had openly talked back to him and ignored him. Where was he supposed to put his dignity?

He got hard.

His fists got hard!

"Stop right there! Take one more step, and don't blame this Old Man for casting aside his dignity and bullying the young!"

However, Zhu Zhuqing turned a deaf ear. As long as she reached her teacher's side, she would be safe!

Li Song had not encountered juniors who were so disrespectful to their elders—and who dared provoke him to his face—in a very long time.

The dignity of a Spirit Emperor could not be violated. He had to teach them a lesson and restore his pride.

"Hmph! Stubborn beyond reason!"

He barked, instantly summoning his Martial Soul: the Dragon Pattern Staff!

Immediately afterward, one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black Soul Ring rose in succession beneath his feet. A powerful surge of Soul Power abruptly spread outward!

The strength of a six-ring Spirit Emperor was revealed without reservation, immediately causing a huge commotion.

"Wow! This old gentleman is actually a Spirit Emperor!"

"This academy may look shabby, but its teacher is actually an expert!"

"What a pity I didn't qualify. They won't even refund the Registration Fee..."

"That black-clad girl is in trouble. She actually dared anger a Spirit Emperor!"

Amid the shocked cries and discussions around them, Ning Rongrong showed no concern whatsoever. Her gaze remained stuck on Lin Feng, and the closer she looked at him, the more her heart raced and her face flushed.

She was officially a fan of this man!
