Entangled

Chen Ming clapped his hands, washed them with water elements, then adjusted the brim of his hat and looked around.

Seeing that no one was nearby, he immediately acted as if nothing had happened and retreated quickly, muttering to himself as he walked away.

"A bunch of brats who haven't even grown their hair out yet, so much drama. Instead of focusing on their studies, they only know how to stir up trouble."

As the image of the other party's jealous gaze toward him and their fawning behavior toward Dong Qianqiu flashed through Chen Ming's mind, he understood the root cause of the incident.

How else could one describe a beautiful woman as a source of disaster? In the Douluo universe, a place where children matured early, he knew they were precocious, but he hadn't expected them to be this mature.

After awakening their martial souls, shouldn't they be putting all their focus into cultivation? Only caring about romantic entanglements—they clearly had no future.

Just as he moved away from the Laji Sect and arrived at the academy playground, he suddenly felt a sensation, as if guided by intuition, and turned his head to the side.

He saw a silver-haired beauty, and beside her, a male teacher was performing what he considered a dashing hair-tossing gesture while inviting her:

"Teacher Nana, since this is your first time teaching at the academy, you must be unfamiliar with it, right? I can show you around the campus."

"No need, my daughter is still waiting for me over there."

Nana responded coldly, and just then, she noticed Chen Ming watching the show, so she immediately made a turn and walked straight toward him.

"Daughter?!"

The teacher stiffened for a moment, turned his head to look, and as a petite silver-haired figure came into view, he instantly turned to stone.

"Why is she coming over?!"

Chen Ming turned and ran. He had only been watching the show and eating melon, so how did he end up being the one in the spotlight?

There was no helping it; his genetic predisposition for gossip was truly impossible to shake. Chen Ming took a few quick steps, and Nana took a few quick steps as well.

Chen Ming started jogging, and Nana started jogging too. Chen Ming drank a Speed V Potion and sprinted, turning into a streak of silver light as he dashed toward the school gate, but Nana used a teleportation to scoop him up.

"Don't go."

"What do you want? I don't know you, and I need to go home to eat."

Silver light swirled around Chen Ming's body, and just as he was about to use space elements to escape, he was pressed back down by Nana.

"I feel like you are very familiar, just like another version of me. Are we related?"

Nana scrutinized him, feeling a deep sense of familiarity. Chen Ming switched his martial soul, the aura of the Silver Dragon King vanished, replaced by an aura of destruction, and he said faintly:

"You're mistaken, this is our first time meeting."

"We have met three times already."

Nana corrected him immediately upon hearing this. The two remained in a stalemate, and he had no choice but to soften his stance.

"Put me down, we really don't have any relationship, not even a little bit."

Chen Ming didn't want to have any further entanglement with her and just wanted to slip away. Seeing this, Nana had no choice but to put him down, then asked where his home was.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back."

"I can go back myself, and besides, I live on campus."

Chen Ming turned and walked away as he spoke, but Nana followed right behind him, forcing him to circle around the boys' dormitory.

"I'm telling you, sister, can you let me go? If you keep this up, I can't go back to the dorm! I won't have anywhere to sleep tonight."

Chen Ming looked at Nana, who was still following him, and finally couldn't hold back anymore. Nana responded nonchalantly:

"Isn't it normal for a teacher to care about a student returning to the dorm? Besides, if you have nowhere to sleep, then sleep with me. My teacher's dormitory is quite large; you can just go to sleep after you're tired of playing."

Chen Ming's pupils dilated. Why was this Silver Dragon acting so suspicious? If she were wearing glasses, he would really have to call the police.

"No thanks... I'll handle it myself."

He said this and immediately headed outside the school, planning to find a hotel to make do for the night. It was already evening, the teaching building was basically empty, and he couldn't find an opportunity to change back now.

Nana still followed behind him. Chen Ming soon arrived at a hotel, opened a single room, and lay on the bed. He activated his spiritual power to the max, but could find no trace of her.

"Did she leave?"

Chen Ming sat on the bed, unsure if she had left, but in the next second, the door suddenly opened and Nana walked in. His expression changed drastically, and he pointed at her, saying:

"How did you get in?!"

"I told them I was your sister and asked for another room key, so I got in."

She recounted her criminal process directly. Chen Ming covered his face; he was truly helpless now.

"What do you want? We really don't have any relationship."

Chen Ming lay on the bed as if resigning himself to his fate. Although he had guessed that there might be misunderstandings if he met Gu Yuena, he hadn't expected her to be like chewing gum, sticking to him constantly.

"I know, I just want to see you, I won't do anything else."

Nana said this as she walked over, then sat on the bed and reached out to place her hand on Chen Ming's chest. Chen Ming immediately sprang up and covered his chest, rebuking her.

"You pervert! You female hooligan!"

"I... I'm not..."

Nana was immediately flushed red by Chen Ming's accusation of being a female hooligan, and she realized the impropriety of her actions just now.

She had only wanted to feel the power of creation that they both shared from the same source; she really didn't have any other intentions.

Chen Ming wrapped himself in his quilt, looking at the other person with eyes that screamed trash, pervert, and scum.

"I... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry."

She knew it was her own fault and apologized immediately; if anyone else had done this to her, she would have slapped them into a bloody mist without hesitation.

Nana kept her head down, looking utterly embarrassed, as the feeling of being mistaken for a pervert was truly unpleasant.

"Stop following me. I need to rest now, get out!"

Chen Ming kicked Nana out of the room, then, catching her off guard, used his phone to check out, sent the room card back to the front desk using spatial elements, and leaped out the window.

The Ender Pearl landed like a purple meteor in the small woods of Tiantou Technology Academy in the distance.

With a flash of purple light, Chen Ming landed on a tree branch, his long silver hair transforming into short black hair.

"Finally shook her off. It looks like I'll have to switch forms less often from now on."

Chen Ming muttered to himself, then leaped through the trees a few times to return to the boys' dormitory.

"Holy crap, Old Chen, why are you back so late?"

"Yeah, and you climbed in through the window. Being all sneaky like that, what kind of shady business were you up to?"

"Back from a date?"

Seeing Chen Ming jump in from the balcony, his three roommates were immediately suspicious and began to speculate. Chen Ming took off his hat and said speechlessly:

"It's none of your business. I taught some blind fool a lesson today, take a look."

Chen Ming pulled out his phone and brought up the photo of Mei Qian in the trash can, lifting his leg, making a peace sign, and sticking out his tongue.

"Holy crap! My eyes!"

"Old Chen, I didn't realize you were into this kind of thing. Too bad we're not a match."

Feng Rulang wore a meaningful expression, smiling lecherously at Chen Ming. Feeling the weight of that smile, Chen Ming felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and immediately cursed:

"Get lost! Do you want me to beat you up, kid?!"
