Let the Calamity King Give You a Punch!

Hearing this, Lan Yu didn't show much expression on his face. He said, "That's a grievance against me. Even though she is my classmate, Sister Yumian always comes first in my heart."

"Oh~~" Ding Yumian drew out the tone, "So you really are thinking about opening a harem. I didn't realize you had such grand ambitions."

Having said that, Ding Yumian stopped paying attention to Lan Yu, turned around, and walked along the park path.

Lan Yu hurriedly chased after her to smooth things over, but Ding Yumian held Momo in one arm and stroked its fur with the other, looking like she wasn't in a very good mood.

As soon as the semester ended, Lan Yu went to look for a new place to live.

Fortunately, he brought out the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and, relying on his silver tongue to say many sweet things, finally got Ding Yumian to relent.

Lan Yu considered himself no saint; he was just a bit foul-mouthed, greedy for money, and lustful by a tiny margin.

At this moment, he felt as if that state of vibrant vitality and all things competing for growth was still before his eyes.

He still had the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, all highly effective immortal herbs and medicinal plants, left in his possession.

Once the cooldown period passed, Lan Yu planned to return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to refine the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The former could greatly enhance spiritual power after use, while the latter could circulate energy through the four limbs, clear the eight extraordinary meridians, and forge an indestructible body.

It might even improve the defensive capabilities of his Light-element magic.

Arriving at the twelfth floor of Jinyuan Apartment, Lan Yu knocked on the door of the unit he intended to rent.

"You're the young man who called earlier, right?" The landlady appeared very enthusiastic, speaking with a warm face.

"It's me. I saw this place for rent online, so I came to take a look," Lan Yu said.

The landlady looked Lan Yu up and down and said, "Mm, come in first."

Lan Yu nodded. Just as he was about to enter, his peripheral vision caught two women stepping out of the elevator.

One of them was tall and wore a snow-white long dress with a landscape painting embroidered on the chest, looking like a white cloud.

The other was petite, appearing about the same height as Ding Yumian, though she was more well-endowed—certainly someone who would never let a child go hungry.

The two walked over and, besides seeing the landlady, spotted their old classmate.

"Lan Yu?! Why are you here?"

"Miss Ai, can you not be so boisterous?" Lan Yu rolled his eyes.

Mu Nujiao couldn't help but show a hint of surprise; she hadn't expected to see a high school classmate here.

"Are you here to rent a place too?" Ai Tutu asked.

"Do you think I'm here for dinner?"

The group followed the landlady inside. The apartment featured a duplex layout; the first-floor hall was carpeted, and the entryway led straight to a large suspended balcony equipped with a parasol, lounge chairs, and a small pond.

The hall was also fully furnished with a large sofa, an open Western-style kitchen, a small bar, and more.

"The rooms are all on the second floor. Do you need to see them?" the landlady asked.

"This is the one. I can sign the contract immediately," Lan Yu said, too lazy to look around.

The landlady's face beamed with a smile as she looked at Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, "What do you two beauties think?"

"I like it. Sister Mu, let's take this one," Ai Tutu said, also too lazy to keep running errands.

In truth, they had already looked at quite a few apartments, and basically none of them met their requirements.

Mainly, they both came from wealthy families, and what others called "luxury renovations" were nothing special to them.

This Jinyuan Apartment, however, clearly had a lot of money spent on its decor, and the duplex structure was quite to their liking.

"Since you're all satisfied, why not share the rent?" the landlady suggested. "This apartment is indeed very expensive. I put a lot of effort into the renovation, so the rent of tens of thousands a month is no joke."

"I assume you are all mages. After all, magic is a money-burning profession, so saving where you can..."

Mu Nujiao frowned slightly. To be honest, she really didn't want to share a place, especially with someone of the opposite sex.

"Sure! I've never shared an apartment before. I see a lot of students doing it in university; it sounds fun," Ai Tutu agreed, full of joy, acting like a simple-minded amoeba.

Lan Yu glanced at her. Combining his memories of the original work, fan fiction, and their current relationship as classmates, he concluded that this Ai Tutu could sit at the same table as Tang Yue.

The landlady laughed upon hearing this, "There are four rooms in total, two on the south side and two on the north, and they are separated. Since you all know each other, sharing the rent is very suitable."

"Little Tu..."

"Oh, Sister Mu, it doesn't matter! We've known Lan Yu for so long; don't you understand what kind of guy he is?" Ai Tutu said.

"Besides the first floor, the rooms on the second floor are independent. My grandfather is so mean; ever since I started school, he's controlled my allowance, cutting it from eighty thousand down to fifty thousand. Having someone else to split the costs is better."

"This..." Mu Nujiao hesitated.

If she didn't know Lan Yu, Mu Nujiao might have turned around and left. The whole Jinyuan Apartment was huge; she didn't necessarily have to rent this specific unit.

Mu Nujiao sighed. Honestly, she didn't even know what to say to Ai Tutu anymore.

Seeing that they seemed to have reached an agreement, the landlady smiled and went to prepare the contract.

There were more than just these young people looking for apartments today, and her time was very precious.

"Lan Yu, when my 'spare tires' arrive with the luggage later, you better help out," Ai Tutu ordered Lan Yu without the slightest bit of politeness.

Lan Yu rolled his eyes at her again. "Screw you. I haven't even moved my own luggage over yet, and you want me to help you? Are you daydreaming? Do you want me to ask the Calamity King to punch you?"

"What Calamity King? You're spouting nonsense again." Ai Tutu made a face. "Blehh, forget it if you won't help. I didn't need your help anyway, Miss."

"You're the best."

Lan Yu turned and headed back to the school to move his luggage.

His task today was heavy; he not only had to move his own things but Ding Yumian's as well.

It was fortunate he had informed Dean Xiao; otherwise, if a "Psychic Calamity Victim" of such magnitude were taken from the academy by him, a certain dean surnamed Fu would surely come after him with a blade.

Dragging two 26-inch suitcases, one black and one pink, Lan Yu finally arrived at Jinyuan Apartment.

Fortunately, there wasn't too much stuff, or two suitcases wouldn't have been enough to hold it all.

Ding Yumian was still holding Momo (Dark Demon Evil God Tiger) in her arms, with a lady's handbag slung across her shoulder.

"Meow-aow~"

"I'm telling you, Sister Yumian, Momo is already protesting to me. Can you stop sniffing it like a pervert?" Lan Yu couldn't help but say.

"No, I think Momo quite likes it when I do this. Don't you, Momo?"

As Ding Yumian spoke, she couldn't help but bury her face into its soft fur again.

"Meow-aow--"
