Xiao Wu and Cao Yan's classroom was on the first floor. By the time they arrived, the class bell had already rung. Unfortunately, they were late on their very first day of school.
Fortunately, there was no sign of the teacher in the classroom, which made Xiao Wu secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After all, getting caught by the teacher for being late to their very first class would not be good.
They were wearing brand-new school uniforms. Xiao Wu entered the classroom holding Cao Yan's hand. Although she did not think there was anything inappropriate about it, they inevitably attracted the attention of many students, especially the boys.
When quite a few students looked at Cao Yan, their eyes held a mix of fervor and jealousy. There was no shortage of pretty girls in the class, but compared with Xiao Wu before them, they simply did not measure up.
There was no other reason. Among girls their age, little girls as pretty and adorable as Xiao Wu were always rare.
The more a girl was like that, the more likely she was to stir up a fierce protective instinct in the hearts of those precocious children. If Cao Yan had not been by her side protecting her, someone might already have rushed over to protect the goddess.
A hero saving a beauty—this was the kind of fantasy that only existed at their age.
However, some people still recognized Cao Yan.
Among these students were also those who could afford to eat on the second floor. Thus, they immediately recognized Cao Yan as the boy who had defeated Xiao Chenyu, and their eyes held a trace of surprise as they looked at him.
"Cao Yan, it looks like there are no seats left. What should we do?" Feeling the gazes around her, Xiao Wu blushed, her rosy cheeks looking especially adorable as she asked in a soft voice.
The classroom was large, but most of the students were seated in boy-girl pairs. Some of the boys even teased the girls beside them from time to time, brimming with youthful energy.
"How about we sit together?" Cao Yan's eyes shifted as his fingers gently brushed Xiao Wu's soft hand, and he chuckled to himself.
It seemed the children of Douluo Continent were quite mature mentally. They had learned how to flirt with girls at such a young age. Honestly, Cao Yan hated seeing them act like that and even looked down on them somewhat.
After all, six-year-old boys had not even fully grown yet. How could they satisfy anyone?
They were already going astray at such a young age. When they grew up, they definitely would not be good people and would never rise above others. That was what Cao Yan thought.
But he was different. He was a transmigrator, so being a little precocious was perfectly normal.
These children, on the other hand, were far too abnormal. Every one of them was rotten!
"But all the seats are taken. Where are we supposed to sit?" Xiao Wu pouted her rosy lips and spoke in a delicate voice.
"Don't worry. Come with me. I'm the boss." Cao Yan grinned and, in front of all the students, pulled Xiao Wu toward the back of the classroom. There was a short, sleazy-looking boy sitting alone there. One look told him the boy was single.
People like that were the easiest to talk to.
"Junior, we don't have anywhere to sit. Could you do us a favor?" Cao Yan said, doing his best to put on a friendly expression.
After all, he was negotiating with this little brother, not forcing him.
"But..." The short, sleazy-looking boy hesitated at first, but after noticing the looks from the students around him, he immediately gave in.
Although he did not recognize Cao Yan as the person who had defeated Xiao Chenyu, his instincts told him that the person before him was not someone to provoke.
"Fine. This seat isn't comfortable for me anyway. You can have it." The short, sleazy-looking boy smiled and gave up his seat.
"Xiao Wu, come sit beside me. We've got seats now." Cao Yan did not stand on ceremony and directly sat down in the back row.
The seats in the back of the classroom actually had their advantages. In his previous life, he had done plenty of sneaky things from seats like these. Even the teachers had been helpless against him.
Only those who had experienced it could understand the benefits of such a special seat. Its wonders were beyond words!
"How can you do that? You're so bad." Xiao Wu lightly bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, making her rosy little mouth look especially enticing.
Seeing Xiao Wu's adorable appearance, Cao Yan could not help staring blankly.
Especially Xiao Wu's rosy little mouth. If he took a bite, it should be sweet to suck on, right?
"Ahem, Xiao Wu, I was actually doing it for his own good. Look, isn't he much better off sitting in the front?" Cao Yan collected himself and said seriously, pointing in the short boy's direction as he explained.
At that moment, the short, sleazy-looking boy had already sat beside a young couple. He chatted and laughed with them, wearing a lecherous grin.
Such was the sorrow of being single!
He could only watch helplessly as others flirted and professed their love right in front of him. Other than envy, there was nothing he could do. How pitiful.
Xiao Wu noticed this as well and immediately understood. So Cao Yan had done it to help him fit into other people's circle. What a kind boy he was.
Having understood this, Xiao Wu finally relaxed and sat down beside Cao Yan.
"Cao Yan, this is the boundary. You're not allowed to cross it, understand?" Xiao Wu drew a line across the desk with her hand and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Sure. How could an honest person like me possibly cross the line? Don't worry, the boss won't take advantage of you." Cao Yan nodded and smiled.
They had already slept in the same bed. If a boundary like this actually worked, that would truly be strange.
Looking at the line reminded Cao Yan of the girl who had sat beside him in his previous life. Those fragments of memory made him feel somewhat wistful.
If I could have held her hand back then, perhaps the ending would have been different?
Sadly, once some people were met and missed, they were gone forever.
However, with Xiao Wu by his side in the days to come, the future would become even more wonderful.
Just then, a young female teacher walked in. She appeared to be one of the academy's instructors.
Yet what surprised Cao Yan most was not her gender, but her figure. With just one glance, he felt as if he had become captivated.
She wore Nuoding Academy's teacher uniform. Though it was slightly loose, it still outlined her graceful, curvaceous figure. Her delicate, shapely body invited wild thoughts, her hips were full and lifted, and her black stockings accentuated her slender, beautiful legs, adding a touch of allure that made her seem like an untouchable goddess.
The instant she entered the classroom, a fragrant breeze swept through the room, its scent filling the air and instantly perking up all the students.
Even Cao Yan was briefly stunned.
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes!
Like a beast that had spotted its prey!
"Cao Yan, where are you looking?" Xiao Wu's voice startled him, because her hand was pinching his arm.
Hiss!
"That hurts, Xiao Wu! What are you doing?" Cao Yan cried out, hurriedly pulling his arm free.
"You're not allowed to look. If boys look too much, they'll have dreams at night." Xiao Wu spoke seriously. In this regard, she had far more experience than Cao Yan.
Huh?
Xiao Wu was worried about him?
Having a wife like this was wonderful.
"Don't worry. I'm not that kind of person. You must have misunderstood." Cao Yan patted his chest and spoke with a straight face.
With a wife like Xiao Wu by his side, how could he possibly be interested in a woman like that? He merely had a taste for this sort of thing. Taking an occasional look was still fine.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time." Xiao Wu smiled adorably and did not pursue the matter further.
At this moment, the female teacher also noticed Cao Yan's gaze and gave him a slight smile. She knew Cao Yan. Not only that, Director Su had told her that this child was the boy who had beaten the Grandmaster like a dog. He had left a deep impression on her.
"Hello, everyone. I'm your course instructor. My name is Yue Jing. You may call me Teacher Yue Jing, or simply Teacher Yue. From now on, I'll be teaching you knowledge related to martial souls. You're welcome to come to my room and talk with me privately. The teacher's room will always be open to you." Yue Jing smiled as she looked at the children.
"From now on, you'll be classmates. You must help each other and improve together, understand?"
"Since this is our first class, let's introduce ourselves first. That short, sleazy-looking boy, you go first."
After Yue Jing finished speaking, she turned her smiling gaze toward the short, sleazy-looking boy.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Duan Tiande. I'm an orphan. I never had parents since I was little. I grew up eating meals from many families and wearing clothes given by many families. I hope I can become friends with everyone and have fun together." After introducing himself, the short, sleazy-looking boy lowered his head even more, seemingly somewhat inferior.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him sympathetically, and the laughter and snickering stopped at that moment.
"Duan Tiande, your teacher hopes you can leave the shadows behind you soon and live strongly." Teacher Yue Jing comforted him, feeling somewhat sympathetic.
"Thank you, Teacher. Actually, you look a lot like my mother." Duan Tiande said, warmth rising in his heart.
Yue Jing: "..."
"Alright, everyone, continue your introductions."
"Hello, everyone. My name is..."
"Hello, everyone. My name is Cao Yan. I am a descendant of the Cao Family. I believe you will remember this name in the future." When it was Cao Yan's turn, he gave a brief introduction before sitting back down.
"You should all learn from Cao Yan. He even defeated the Grandmaster. He's so remarkable despite being so young. You must work hard too." Yue Jing spoke earnestly, giving Cao Yan an approving look.
"That's right, I remember now. They said that trash Grandmaster tried to take a disciple, only to get beaten up by the other person instead. So it was true. That's amazing."
"I heard about it too. At first, I didn't believe it. I never thought the Grandmaster would be that kind of person. How shameless."
"Exactly. The Grandmaster is trash. Even a dog is better than him."
Upon hearing Yue Jing's words, everyone immediately began discussing it fervently, and the classroom became filled with lively chatter.
