Zhou Yi walked quickly to a deserted corner.

Looking at her original appearance in the mirror in her hand, she saw a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her fury grew even more intense.

"System, I know you can leave. I want to unbind."

Although she didn't know why Xuanyuan Sheng's first impression of her was so bad, she had completely realized by now that this bastard was just playing with her.

No one would harbor such great malice toward a stranger.

It was definitely this Perfect Teacher System that had done it on purpose.

It even sent that kid to the Soul Tool Department to do manual labor; in a few more days, she wouldn't even need to use a disguise.

[Do you choose to unbind? You must pay with the host's soul as the price.]

A sense of oppression from the depths of her spirit swept through her entire body.

Zhou Yi's heated brain instantly cooled down. "No, no, no, I was just joking."

The pressure receded, and Zhou Yi felt her back drenched in cold sweat.

Thinking that she hadn't even had any deeper contact with the mission target yet, she had already turned into this strange state.

If she had deeper contact, wouldn't it cost her her life?

Neither continuing to age nor dying outright was a punishment Zhou Yi wanted.

But why did this thing insist that she be Xuanyuan Sheng's teacher? Could it be that he was truly different?

Under the immense terror of life and death, Zhou Yi completely calmed down.

Blind Monk, I've discovered a blind spot.

A shrewd light flickered in her eyes as she turned and headed toward the Academic Affairs Office.

"Let me see exactly what kind of secrets you are hiding."

Shrek Plaza.

Xuanyuan Sheng had never imagined that there could be someone in the world so close to being a nightmare.

Xiao Xiao sat to his left, her thumb and index finger spread wide, resting on his left hand.

"Do you know? The distance from the middle finger to the shoulder is different for everyone's two hands. Look..."

Quite naturally, this little loli was defeated by her own physique; she simply couldn't manage the action of wrapping her arms around someone.

[You are truly the worst batch I have ever led.]

Even the Love System couldn't help but roast her. It had given Xiao Xiao a complete collection of romantic lines to study slowly, but as a result, this girl just said whatever she remembered the moment she met Xuanyuan Sheng.

Xuanyuan Sheng moved a step to the side without changing his expression.

He really couldn't stand Xiao Xiao's cheesy pickup lines. Wasn't she being very arrogant and aloof back in Class One just a moment ago?

How could there be such a contrast now?

Xiao Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit awkward. Under the day-and-night influence of her Love Mentor, she only knew one thing.

She was truly captivated by Xuanyuan Sheng's looks.

"Oh, don't be so cold. I'm just joking."

Xuanyuan Sheng waved his hand. "Aren't you going to go run with them? If Zhou Yi comes back in a moment and sees you slacking off, she'll be happy to expel you."

Xiao Xiao lifted her little head and said proudly, "Impossible. This young lady is a genius. Someone like Teacher Zhou who cherishes talent would never expel me."

Hearing the confidence in her words, Xuanyuan Sheng still acknowledged it.

A Twin Martial Souls alone was enough for Zhou Yi to value her.

[Limited-time mission!!!]

Xiao Xiao, sitting to the side, was startled by the Love System in her mind.

What limited-time mission? Why was it shouting so loudly?

"What's wrong? Could it be that you're afraid of that perverted old hag?" Xuanyuan Sheng teased.

Xiao Xiao gave him a huff.

"So what if I'm afraid? It's not like you could let me hide in your arms."

Xuanyuan Sheng curled his lips.

Hide? I'm the one who wants to hide in a big shot's arms right now.

As the master of the Holy Sword of Humanity, the Xuanyuan Sword, what was wrong with adding a little drama to his life to make Humanity's Luck more active?

He couldn't even create something for himself.

Everything was the fault of the Plane Spirit and that guy Huo Yuhao. One was the Heavenly Dao, the other was the Son of Luck of the Heavenly Dao; the two of them couldn't even put together one useful thing.

Xiao Xiao saw Xuanyuan Sheng fall into deep thought.

She called out to her Love Mentor.

"What kind of limited-time mission? You almost made me think you were going to explode."

[You can't do it.]

The rebellious spirit of the violent loli was instantly ignited.

This strange thing hadn't even shown her the mission before saying she couldn't do it; what kind of attitude was that?

A woman must never say she can't.

She was determined to make Xuanyuan Sheng look at her with admiration and be unable to keep his hands off her.

[Fine then.]

[Limited-time mission: The Favor of Humanity's Luck]

[Reward: You'll definitely like this thing, I'll keep it a secret for now.]

Where was the mission?

Xiao Xiao was completely bewildered.

What was this Humanity's Luck, and how was one supposed to receive the favor of Humanity's Luck?

At the same time, the system of Zhang Lexuan also popped up with this mission.

But for her, who only cared about her younger brother, it was naturally ignored.

Xiao Xiao, however, had a headache.

"Can't you just tell me how to obtain the favor of Humanity's Luck?"

[I am in charge of love; I know nothing about other things.]

The Love System said righteously.

Then why did you issue it?

But considering the Love System had a lot of little tips about love, Xiao Xiao forgave it quite magnanimously.

While deep in thought, Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered something.

"Love System, show me the information on Xiao Sheng."

At the beginning, the Love System had used Xuanyuan Sheng's basic information to lure her, and she had read it very carefully back then.

She vaguely remembered the description of Xiao Sheng's martial soul.

It was only four words: Holy Sword of Humanity.

After checking it again, Xiao Xiao nodded her little head in confirmation.

"You little rascal, who are you looking down on? Isn't it clear now?"

This limited-time mission revolved around Xuanyuan Sheng, and it was being all mysterious—she had finally caught it red-handed.

Xiao Xiao immediately stood up.

She said to Xuanyuan Sheng beside her, "Let's go to the small woods."

???

Xuanyuan Sheng had black lines all over his head; was this girl not even going to pretend anymore?

Seeing Xuanyuan Sheng's strange expression.

Xiao Xiao immediately covered her cheeks with both hands, turning bright red: "Xiao Sheng, you're being naughty."

"I'm being naughty?"

She immediately performed a change of face in front of Xuanyuan Sheng, her expression turning calm.

"I have something very important to tell you, Xiao Sheng."

"Anyway, with your personality, Xiao Sheng, you'd skip class if you had one, right?"

Hiss... this little loli really had a sharp eye for people.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's serious expression, Xuanyuan Sheng nodded in agreement. She seemed quite anxious; could it be that she had encountered something that required his help?

As for skipping class, Mu Jin had been greeted by Zhang Lexuan, so she probably wouldn't care about such a small matter.

The two walked directly through the teaching building.

Following a winding path, they soon arrived at the small woods Xiao Xiao had mentioned.

Though called a small woods, it was actually an open space surrounded by a group of trees.

But once they arrived, Xiao Xiao began to ponder how to proceed to gain the favor of Humanity's Luck. Could it be care coming from Xuanyuan Sheng?

However, if it were his care, it couldn't be a limited-time mission.

It must be something easily missed by her.

And since the Love System had told her she couldn't do it, it must be related to her body or something else.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao seemed to transform into a goddess of wisdom, gradually piecing together the limited information she had into a complete clue.

Pointing a finger at the sky, she said loudly:

"Take it out."
