As the homeroom teacher finished speaking, the students in the class all turned their curious gazes toward the door.
Zijun was among them.
After all, the teacher had just said that this mysterious student was a genius on the same level as him!
That sentence alone was enough to pique the interest of most of the students.
Tap, tap, tap!
Steady, light footsteps rang out from the quiet classroom doorway.
When they saw the newcomer, every male student in the class sucked in a breath!
Zijun was among them!
However, the expression on his face was different from the others' awestruck looks!
He looked utterly shocked!
Why did she come to the human world? Wasn't she supposed to rule the world in the original story?
I hope she isn't here for me, or else... I'm done for... sob...
Retracting his gaze, Zijun glanced sideways at Qian Renxue beside him.
She, too, had been stunned by the woman on the stage!
"Gu Yuena! Twelve years old! Top-tier Beast Martial Soul! Soul Power! Level 99 Title Douluo!"
As he spoke, the homeroom teacher introduced her with fervent excitement.
"Holy shit!" Xie Yue blurted out another curse out of habit!
He stared fixedly at Gu Yuena with an incredulous expression!
Hu Liena, seated in front of him, seemed to have lost her soul. She lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Yet her tightly clenched hands were enough to reveal her current emotions.
Unwillingness! Envy? Defeat?
Perhaps all of them.
After all, she had always been a strong-willed girl.
No matter what she did, she always wanted to do it perfectly!
Before Zijun and Qian Renxue arrived, she could be said to be the most talented genius Spirit Master in the entire academy.
She had originally thought that there were only one or two geniuses like Zijun and Qian Renxue in the world.
But reality was this cruel! Now, another genius whose talent far surpassed hers had appeared!
Sadly, from this day onward!
The pain in her life could be said to have multiplied several times over...
"Hello, everyone. My name is Gu Yuena. Please take care of me in the future."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena blinked her lovely curled lashes.
She swept her gaze across the entire classroom, as though searching for something.
Until she spotted Zijun in the last row, lying on his desk with his hands clasped over his head.
A sweet crescent-moon smile appeared on her lips.
"Student Gu Yuena, where would you like to sit? As the second legendary student, you have the privilege of choosing."
"Over there!" She raised a slender finger, soft as a tender shoot and fair as congealed cream.
Pointing at the seat beside Zijun, she smiled.
Following the direction of Gu Yuena's finger, the homeroom teacher became somewhat troubled.
What is wrong with geniuses these days? Do they all like clustering together?
My heavens! Miss, you really dared to choose that spot! Those are the seats of His Excellency Zijun and Her Highness Qian Renxue!
You may dare to say it, but I don't dare give it to you!
"Ahem, ahem! In that case, we'll add another seat beside them. After all, the two of you are the only legendary students in the class, so it would be good for you to exchange ideas."
As soon as the homeroom teacher finished speaking, Fu Deqi, who sat to Zijun's left,
very perceptively moved his desk beside Zijun's.
Realizing that Gu Yuena had come for Zijun, Qian Renxue dropped her earlier friendly smile.
She looked expressionlessly at Zijun beside her, gently nudging his elbow as she asked.
"Xiao Jun, I didn't expect you to know such a beautiful woman. When did you meet her?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's tender, bone-melting voice, Zijun swallowed.
He cautiously turned his head and secretly glanced at Qian Renxue's expression.
He immediately sat up straight and gave a solemn cough.
After organizing his thoughts in his mind, he declared firmly.
"I swear! I'm not familiar with her! If you insist on saying we know each other, then we fought once! But she lost."
Hearing Zijun's serious reply, Qian Renxue burst into laughter.
"Alright! I was only asking. Don't be nervous—I'm not going to eat you. I believe you."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as though he had just survived some terrifying ghost story.
But just as Zijun let out a sigh of relief, Gu Yuena's next action dragged him straight back into a hopeless predicament!
She walked down from the podium.
Without the slightest reservation, Gu Yuena sat beside Zijun and turned to look at him and Qian Renxue.
"What? After bullying me, you left without even giving me your name. Were you afraid I'd find you?"
"Ahem...!"
Zijun, who had been about to take a sip of water to calm himself, nearly choked to death after hearing Gu Yuena's suggestive words.
He raised a hand and repeatedly pounded his chest, striking it five whole times!
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!
Only then did he swallow the water in his throat!
After recovering, Zijun lowered his voice and retorted to Gu Yuena.
"What do you mean I bullied you? What do you mean I was afraid you'd find me? Student Gu Yuena! Please think before you speak!!"
Seeing Zijun's nervous expression, Gu Yuena could not help feeling puzzled.
She tilted her head and glanced at Qian Renxue, who sat to Zijun's left.
Qian Renxue looked down at the desktop expressionlessly, but the pen in her hand stabbed viciously into the desk and dragged across it!
She looked like a highly skilled doctor dissecting a corpse with a scalpel!
Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and smiled slyly.
"Oh~! What? Weren't you quite impressive with that posture when you were bullying me? Now you don't dare admit it?"
"You!" Zijun was so angry that he did not know how to retort.
Bang!
Unable to endure it any longer, Qian Renxue slapped the desk.
She turned toward Zijun, but in truth, she was looking past Zijun at Gu Yuena on his right.
"Your... Your Highness? Was there something wrong with what I said? Would you like to add something?"
On the podium, the homeroom teacher humbly asked for guidance.
"Your lesson is very good. There is nothing wrong with it. Please continue teaching and don't mind us."
Zijun lay on the desk and cautiously took over.
His eyes darted left and right as he secretly glanced at Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena.
Their gazes met as though a spark-filled bolt of lightning had appeared between them!
"Xiao Jun is my fiancé. Even if you are a Title Douluo, I will not yield in the slightest!"
Qian Renxue reminded her word by word with a "smile."
Seeing Qian Renxue's jealous expression, Gu Yuena responded like a cunning fox.
With endless charm, she countered.
"No matter. Once I attain a Divine Position, I'll have all the time in the world to compete with you. As for you... if you fail to break through level one hundred, you'll only have three hundred years left to live. By then, no matter how unwilling you are, he will belong only to me."
Hearing Gu Yuena provoke Qian Renxue, Zijun silently raised his hand and asked in surprise.
"What happened to your character setting? Gu Yuena is supposed to be cold and aloof. Are you really Gu Yuena?"
Looking at Zijun's confused face, Gu Yuena disdainfully reached out, pushed his head away, and replied perfunctorily.
"When women are talking, men should speak less! This is none of your business! And! I only came up with this name recently. What kind of personality I have is none of your concern!"
Turning away, Qian Renxue looked despondently at the desk, while Gu Yuena's words replayed endlessly in her mind.
That's right. If I cannot attain a Divine Position, how can I stay by Xiao Jun's side?
No matter how much Xiao Jun cares about me, misses me, and dotes on me...
After a hundred years... I will still vanish into the river of time...
In the future... can I really become the God of Angels?
