Mu Chen sank his mind into the system space.
He was chatting with Ah Yin, hoping to fill her lonely heart a little.
Just then,
someone knocked on the door, and Xiao Wu's voice followed right after. "Teacher, we're back!"
Mu Chen said goodbye to Ah Yin and returned his mind to the outside world.
"Come in."
Xiao Wu pushed open the door and entered, with Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San right behind her.
"Teacher, I have something to tell you."
"It's sure to astonish you."
Xiao Wu sidled up to Mu Chen with a mysterious air and sat down as if she owned the place.
"What is it?"
Mu Chen was a little surprised.
"There's a student here named Dai Mubai. You probably know him. It turns out he's Zhuqing's fiancé!"
Xiao Wu said with exaggerated astonishment.
"Oh?"
Mu Chen was genuinely surprised.
Not by the relationship between the two, but by the fact that Xiao Wu had found out.
He lifted his eyes to Zhu Zhuqing.
Just then, Tang San poured him a cup of tea.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained calm as she said softly, "Teacher, I've already written a letter of repudiation, unilaterally breaking off my engagement to Dai Mubai."
Mu Chen had just taken the teacup when his hand shook, and a few drops of tea fell onto Xiao Wu's snowy-white, lovely legs.
"Teacher, hold it properly!"
"You spilled it all over my leg!"
Xiao Wu furrowed her brows, looking a little displeased.
The main thing was—
the tea was a little hot...
"Sorry. I'll make sure not to spill it on your leg next time." Mu Chen awkwardly set down the cup, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Xiao Wu's snowy-white leg.
"That's more like it..." Xiao Wu muttered.
Eyes wide with astonishment, Mu Chen asked, "Zhuqing, you broke off your engagement with Dai Mubai just like that—even using a letter of repudiation?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded calmly and smiled unconcernedly. "Whatever happens in the future, I won't regret the choice I made today. Even if the Star Luo Imperial Family and my clan hunt me down together, I won't regret it. At least my heart feels so much lighter now."
Mu Chen rose and walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, gazing at her with deep affection. "Whatever happens, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."
"Thank you, Teacher." Zhu Zhuqing was deeply moved. She stepped forward and leaned gently against Mu Chen.
Feeling her softness so close, Mu Chen patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder and comforted her.
"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and I will help you too. When the soldiers come, we'll meet them; when the water comes, we'll dam it. We'll face it together!" Tang San declared righteously.
Xiao Wu nodded solemnly as well.
"Thank you all."
Zhu Zhuqing looked gratefully at Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Oscar had barely run ten meters when Ning Rongrong had already used the Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps to race more than fifty meters ahead.
And she had only just started learning it.
"How is she running so fast?!"
Oscar was panting heavily.
He had barely finished one lap, while Ning Rongrong was already starting her fourth.
At that moment,
Flender, who was watching Ning Rongrong, was just as astonished. "Looks like I underestimated her! But isn't this too fast? Could it be some secret technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? As expected of an auxiliary sect—even their escape methods are this impressive!"
In less than an hour, Ning Rongrong had finished the whole course, and her understanding of the Kirin Heaven-Treading Steps had deepened a little.
"I'm exhausted!"
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath.
Just then, Oscar came panting past her, so tired he could hardly catch his breath.
"Huff!! Huff!! Huff!!"
Oscar stopped to rest for a moment. He glanced at Ning Rongrong, drenched in sweat, and couldn't help swallowing.
"What are you looking at?"
"I already belong to someone, so go cool your heels somewhere else!"
Ning Rongrong lifted her chin and gave a soft snort, then turned and walked away.
At her words, Oscar felt all the strength drain out of him. He collapsed, back to the ground and face to the sky.
Ning Rongrong returned to Mu Chen's room and threw herself onto him as soon as she entered.
"Teacher, I'm so hot~"
She stuck out her little tongue and went limp against Mu Chen like a puddle of mud.
"Go take a bath. You're all sticky, and now you've got me sticky too."
Mu Chen furrowed his brows and spoke helplessly.
"I'm already too tired to move. Could you help me take a bath?"
Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed hot, and as she panted softly, her breath brushed against Mu Chen's ear.
"Ahem!"
Mu Chen glanced at the bedroom shared by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. The two girls were meditating inside, preparing for their evening lesson.
He thought for a moment, then picked Ning Rongrong up.
"You little rascal. I really don't know what to do with you."
"Your Soul Power is the lowest, so I'll give you a little extra help and cultivate with you."
Mu Chen headed straight for the bathroom.
Ning Rongrong was clever indeed.
In an instant, she understood what Mu Chen really meant and smiled shyly. "Teacher, you're shameless—and you're good at coming up with excuses."
The Yin Yang Heart-Link Art!
Everyone hated demonic cultivators! Why? Wasn't it because they could cultivate quickly?
And for those with low levels, this Yin Yang Heart-Link Art was precisely a shortcut to rapid cultivation!
Evening.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing woke from meditation one after the other.
"Teacher, we're going to class!"
Xiao Wu called out.
She and Zhu Zhuqing stood outside Mu Chen's bedroom, listening to the sounds from inside, their cheeks faintly red.
"Okay!"
"Rongrong and I will join you as soon as we finish cultivating!"
Mu Chen held Ning Rongrong tightly and called toward the door.
"Hurry up!"
Xiao Wu bit her lip, then pulled Zhu Zhuqing away at a quick pace.
"This way of cultivating is just too bizarre!"
"Damn Ning Rongrong. What on earth did she do to claim the teacher right after becoming his disciple?!"
Xiao Wu was both embarrassed and annoyed.
"Maybe... Teacher and Rongrong really are just cultivating?" Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes fluttered, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
"Zhuqing, do you actually believe what you're saying?" Xiao Wu gave Zhu Zhuqing's shapely bottom a mischievous smack.
"You pervert! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Zhu Zhuqing's face turned scarlet, and she hurried away on her tall, shapely legs.
"Don't be mad!" Xiao Wu hurried after her with a giggle. Her long, straight legs were every bit as beautiful as Zhu Zhuqing's, if not more so.
A little later,
on the training field,
Flender watched the six people arrive one after another and asked with a frown, "Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, where's Ning Rongrong?"
Xiao Wu spread her hands, looking calm and composed. "She's cultivating with the teacher and can't get away."
"Fine, then..." Flender looked at Oscar and asked, "Xiao Ao, how are you recovering? Can you still attend tonight's class?"
Oscar's lazy streak kicked in again. He immediately waved his hand. "Dean, I haven't recovered yet!"
Flender said flatly, "Then go back. The rest of you, come with me. We're going to Suotuo City. Today's class is at the Soto Great Soul Arena."
Oscar breathed a sigh of relief.
Flender started leading the way.
Seeing this, the others followed.
Dai Mubai kept glancing back at Zhu Zhuqing. Thinking of what had happened during the day, anger surged in his heart.
