The Bold Saintess

Zhu Zhuqing did not expect to see this vixen again so soon, and she was even seducing her man in public!

A strong sense of crisis rose in her heart, and she could no longer afford to overthink things.

After more than a year of being together, the status of Mu Qian had long since risen to a point that could not be ignored, even surpassing her own.

"Zhuqing..." Mu Qian's gaze was firm; he brushed off Hu Liena's fingers and turned to take Zhu Zhuqing's small hand.

Seeing his calm expression, the knitted brows of Zhu Zhuqing instantly relaxed, and her heart grew a bit more resolute.

I must trust him...

Mu Qian took a step back, subconsciously creating a gap of one body length, and refocused his gaze on Hu Liena.

It had to be said that this girl was truly bold. If it were Zhu Zhuqing, she would never dare to make such an intimate gesture in front of so many people.

Daring to love and hate—there was nothing wrong with that, and it was also a trait of hers that Mu Qian admired.

To say that Mu Qian had absolutely no interest in Hu Liena would be a lie, but it wasn't as if he would be moved after meeting her only a few times.

By comparison, he still preferred a personality like Zhuqing's.

Who could say what would happen in the future? It was best to just let things take their natural course.

"Senior, let's continue." Mu Qian banished the chaotic thoughts from his mind and said calmly.

"Alright, alright, what a cute and handsome little brother."

Hu Liena was full of charm, and even her voice and tone carried a seductive quality that made people dizzy with infatuation.

Having said that, her nimble fingers brushed lightly over Mu Qian's collar once more.

The surrounding animals were dumbfounded, looking as if life had lost all meaning, yet they dared not say a word.

The gap in status between the two sides was like a chasm spanning their hearts, difficult to cross.

The corners of Mu Qian's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and just as he was about to say something.

He didn't expect Hu Liena to return to the main topic herself, "So... what about little brother's age?"

"Eleven years and four months. Senior, please, can you be normal? There are still many people waiting in line behind us," Mu Qian sighed lightly.

Zhu Zhuqing had long since shifted her gaze elsewhere; out of sight, out of mind. Watching only made her angry.

Fortunately, Mu Qian's performance put her heart at ease.

"Okay, okay, only eleven years old. Three years younger than me, that's not too bad..."

Mu Qian had just scolded her, and she was already drifting off-topic again.

Helpless, Mu Qian simply snatched the paper and pen from her hand and filled out the form himself.

Not only for himself, but he also filled out the information for Zhu Zhuqing, then shoved the whole stack into her hands.

Phew, Zhuqing was right, she really is a vixen, Mu Qian couldn't help but think.

Hu Liena had originally wanted to tease Mu Qian, but after seeing the information on the form in her hand, her eyes trembled, and she could no longer control the shock in her heart.

"Martial Soul, Yinglong."

"Soul Power Level, forty-two!"

Forty-two! That was even higher than her own level as a Saintess of Martial Soul Hall!

Moreover, the other party was only eleven years old!

As for the birthplace and other details Mu Qian had fabricated, Hu Liena had long since ignored them; only those two lines of information remained in her eyes.

Although she didn't know what the Yinglong Martial Soul was, dragon-type Martial Souls were inherently among the top-tier beast Martial Souls, even more powerful in terms of talent than her Demon Fox Martial Soul!

Although she knew Mu Qian was strong yesterday, she never expected him to reach such a monstrous level.

What kind of talent was required for a soul master to possess a cultivation level exceeding forty at the age of eleven?

Hu Liena couldn't imagine it. Her hand holding the form trembled slightly, and as she looked at Mu Qian, the brilliance in her beautiful eyes grew even more intense.

A man like Mu Qian held an irresistible temptation for her.

"Senior, can we register?" Seeing her dazed, Mu Qian couldn't help but wave his hand to remind her.

"Oh, oh, yes." Hu Liena's mind was a bit blank.

She had also glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's information; although not as monstrous as Mu Qian's, she was still a monster among her peers.

Mu Qian and Zhu Zhuqing were likely the most monstrous geniuses among this year's new students.

At the registration desk, whether it was the black-robed teacher, students from other grades, or even the parents and new students waiting to register, everyone looked somewhat dazed.

They didn't know what had just happened. In that instant, they could only see Hu Liena's lips moving, but they couldn't hear a single sound.

This was, of course, Mu Qian's doing, using his spiritual power to create a barrier that blocked out sound.

Previously, he intended to hide his strength from Martial Soul Hall because he hadn't decided on which side to take, so naturally, he didn't want to expose himself too early.

But times were different now. Since he had decided to join Martial Soul Hall, he naturally had to reveal his talent to obtain better guidance and resource allocation.

He didn't have the bad habit of playing the pig to eat the tiger; wasn't it better to suppress a generation of geniuses with his own powerful strength?

However, it was enough for the higher-ups of Martial Soul Hall to know. There was no need for those irrelevant passersby to understand his true strength.

Besides, Mu Qian still held his greatest trump card: his second martial soul, which had yet to be revealed.

However, this was already enough; his goal was merely to attract the attention of Martial Soul Hall.

Geniuses always possess privileges.

Led by Hu Liena, Mu Qian and Zhu Zhuqing walked hand in hand through the gates of Martial Soul Hall Academy.

Unlike the grand and solemn atmosphere Mu Qian had imagined, the environment inside the academy was beautiful and serene, with a rich variety of lush vegetation and green trees shading the wide main road, while the occasional melodious birdsong drifted from the woods.

In the distance lay a sizable man-made lake, and the breeze carrying moisture from the water brought a touch of coolness, dispelling the irritation from waiting in line earlier.

A hundred meters ahead, in a massive plaza, an Angel Statue carved from granite blocked the view of the horizon.

It was class time now, so there were few students about; most were in the teaching buildings further inside.

As Hu Liena explained information about the academy to the two of them, her body leaned toward Mu Qian intentionally or otherwise.

"Hmph, vixen, have you never seen a man before?"

The voice was cold and detached. With no one else around, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer control her emotions as she saw Hu Liena becoming increasingly brazen.

She was naturally a girl who kept to herself, usually unwilling to interact with strangers or have any involvement with them, unless... she truly couldn't help it.

Hu Liena was not angry, instead teasing with a laugh, "What's wrong, little sister? Are you jealous?"

It had to be said that in terms of age, this girl indeed held an advantage, carrying a mature allure that Zhu Zhuqing lacked.

Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold snort, "That's none of your business."

Mu Qian felt somewhat helpless; he really didn't know how to handle a situation like this.

If he wanted to stand up for Zhuqing, Hu Liena hadn't actually done anything excessive...

Of course, it wasn't excessive to him, but it was a different story for Zhu Zhuqing.

"An outstanding man never lacks pursuers; I am simply expressing my appreciation for Mu Qian."

"Sigh, at worst, we can just share him..." A faint look of sorrow appeared on Hu Liena's face, though Mu Qian could tell at a glance that she was faking it.
