Dugu Yan: I am Qin Feng's woman! Yu Tianheng is stunned!

It was the peak hour for students to head to their classes.

Qin Feng's upright posture and extraordinary temperament drew many gazes along the way.

Especially after last night's transformation, the confident and flamboyant aura he exuded was impossible to ignore.

"Who is that? A new teacher at our academy?"

"It looks like Qin Feng, the one who was in the Heaven Dou Grade Fighting Team."

"Wow, he's so handsome. How did I not notice before?"

A few passing female students whispered to each other, their eyes filled with stars.

Qin Feng looked straight ahead, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The feeling of being the center of attention was truly not bad.

Just then, several familiar figures walked toward him.

They were members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Yu Tianheng walked at the front, followed by the Shi Brothers, Osler, and the others.

They clearly saw Qin Feng as well.

Yu Tianheng's footsteps faltered, his gaze instantly locking onto Qin Feng.

Although Qin Feng had not yet officially returned to the team, the fact that Dugu Yan had stayed out all night and eventually left from Qin Feng's dormitory—while kept quiet—had still leaked a bit into this circle.

Yu Tianheng had always had feelings for Dugu Yan; although she had never paid him any mind, he had long regarded her as his own.

Seeing Qin Feng's smug and satisfied expression, a nameless fire inexplicably surged in Yu Tianheng's heart.

"Qin Feng."

Yu Tianheng blocked Qin Feng's path with a cold face.

The surrounding students immediately stopped in excitement, ready to watch the show.

The young master of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family versus the mysterious genius Qin Feng.

This was definitely a massive scoop.

Qin Feng stopped and lazily raised his eyelids.

"Something up?"

The two simple words carried a sense of nonchalant contempt.

This attitude only made Yu Tianheng's fury soar.

"I heard Yanzi went to see you last night?"

Yu Tianheng suppressed his anger, his voice low. "What did she go there for?"

Qin Feng looked at this tragic supporting character from the original story and found it only amusing.

Is this the sorrow of a simp?

She isn't even yours, yet you act like you have the right to manage her.

Qin Feng did not answer directly, instead reaching out to brush non-existent dust off his sleeve before speaking slowly:

"What she went to see me for—does that have anything to do with you?"

"Yu Tianheng, are you her father? Or her man?"

"If you are neither, then move aside. A good dog doesn't block the path."

Whoosh—

The crowd erupted in an instant.

That was too bold!

To dare speak to the young master of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family like that?

Yu Tianheng's face turned livid instantly, his fists clenched tight, blue veins bulging on his arms as faint lightning flickered.

"You're courting death!"

As a favored son of heaven, when had he ever suffered such an insult?

"What? Want to throw hands?"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.

He had just broken through and his body was feeling restless; here was a punching bag delivering itself to his door.

"Then come and try."

"Let's see if your so-called number one beast martial soul can take a single punch from me."

Qin Feng took a step forward.

BOOM!

An incredibly domineering aura erupted from his body.

That was not a direct suppression of spirit power, but a pressure from a superior being, originating from the depths of the bloodline and soul.

Behind him, it felt as if an ancient beast was awakening.

Yu Tianheng's pupils constricted violently.

This aura...

How is this possible?!

He felt the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon martial soul within his own body trembling!

It was an instinctive fear when facing a natural predator.

Before Yu Tianheng could react, a sharp cry suddenly came from not far away.

"Yu Tianheng! What are you doing!"

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Dugu Yan walking over quickly, with Ye Lingling following behind, looking curious.

At this moment, Dugu Yan had changed into a dark green school uniform, her long hair tied high, making her look heroic and spirited.

However, her gait was slightly unnatural, lacking her usual decisiveness and possessing a touch of newfound tenderness.

She walked to Qin Feng's side and stood half a step behind him, naturally.

Anyone who knew the ropes could tell what this positioning meant at a glance.

It was the stance of a subordinate, or perhaps... reliance.

Dugu Yan stared coldly at Yu Tianheng, her emerald eyes filled with displeasure.

"Qin Feng is my... is my grandfather's honored guest!"

"You want to lay a hand on him? Did you ask me first?"

Watching Dugu Yan's protective posture, Yu Tianheng's heart went cold in an instant.

What broke him even more was discovering that today, Dugu Yan was stunningly beautiful.

That radiant appearance was like a flower nourished by dew.

As a man, how could he not understand what this meant?

"Yanzi, you..."

Yu Tianheng pointed at Dugu Yan, his finger trembling, "You and him..."

Dugu Yan couldn't be bothered to care about Yu Tianheng's internal state. She turned to look at Qin Feng, her originally icy face melting instantly to reveal a slightly shy, ingratiating smile.

"Qin Feng, don't mind these boring people."

"Grandfather asked me to check if you have time to go to the Sunset Forest again tonight?"

"He said... he still has some questions about pharmacology he'd like to ask you."

Asking about pharmacology was a lie; wanting to mooch a few more pills was the truth.

Of course, this was also Dugu Yan's own selfish motive.

She had tasted the sweetness.

That feeling of rapidly increasing one's strength was simply too addictive.

Qin Feng looked at the obedient Dugu Yan before him and reached out to pinch her smooth, tender cheek quite naturally.

"I'll see how I feel."

"But since you've asked, I'll give him some face."

Being pinched in public, Dugu Yan didn't get angry; instead, her cheeks flushed slightly as she gave a soft, "Mm."

This scene completely shattered the last shred of Yu Tianheng's illusions.

Crack.

It was as if the sound of something breaking echoed in the air.

It was the sound of a young man's heart shattering.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingling, standing to the side, kept her gaze fixed firmly on Qin Feng, her mind filled with Dugu Yan's words from last night about "liquid pills."

If she could really obtain that kind of miraculous pill from him...

Ye Lingling pursed her lips, and the seed in her heart began to quietly sprout.

Returning to his dormitory, Qin Feng closed the door behind him.

The image of Dugu Yan's shy yet bold demeanor was still lingering in his mind, but he had more important things to do now.

He hadn't finished today's diary entry yet.

Qin Feng sat on the edge of the bed and summoned the black notebook that only he could see.

The tip of his pen touched the paper, making a rustling sound.

[Finally have time to continue writing.]

[Cleared the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison from the bodies of Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.]

[I have to say, my technique was still a bit rusty for this first proper attempt at alchemy, but fortunately, the result was satisfactory.]

[That old man Dugu Bo may look sinister, but he truly dotes on his granddaughter; he was even willing to empty out his life's savings just to cure her.]

Meanwhile, on the other end of the Diary Copy.

The women, who were just preparing to rest, felt their hearts jolt as they read this line.
