Goddess Mu Xi, Ouyang Zixin, Tang Wulin's First Love Senior

(Mu Xi Image)

The sky gradually darkened.

Su Chen took Na'er to familiarize herself with the Su Mansion, and after finishing dinner, they returned to their rooms to rest.

Su Chen slept in the master bedroom, while Na'er slept in the guest room next door.

Soul Masters could get by with less sleep, but Su Chen was still young, so he maintained a normal routine.

In the middle of the night, as Su Chen slept soundly, he felt something soft and squishy tuck itself into his arms in his dazed state.

The sensation carried a familiar milky scent, accompanied by steady, tiny breaths that brushed against his chest.

"Na'er..."

Su Chen's voice was heavy with sleep, tinged with helplessness, "Why did you sneak over again..."

This scene had already played out several times.

Su Chen sighed, his body reacting faster than his brain.

He reached out his arm, intending to "peel off" the small body that was clinging to him like an octopus.

"Mmm..." Na'er was half-asleep, her voice thick and sticky as if she were holding a candy, "I just want to sleep with Brother..."

Su Chen woke up a bit more, looking at the fuzzy little head in his arms, feeling both amused and helpless.

Su Chen turned on his side, using the moonlight to gaze at Na'er's peaceful sleeping face.

Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow beneath her eyes, her little nose was pert, and her lips were slightly parted, sleeping without a hint of defense.

Those stunningly clear purple eyes, so striking during the day, were tightly shut now, making her look even more like an exquisite porcelain doll.

Holding such a fragrant, soft little person while sleeping was indeed quite comfortable, especially on this late autumn night when the blankets were warm and cozy.

Su Chen admitted to himself that this feeling wasn't bad.

But he also had his own secrets and privacy, and sometimes it wasn't very convenient.

"Alright, alright, from now on, I'll only sleep with you three days a week at most. You have to learn to be independent..." Su Chen said helplessly.

"Mm... mm..."

Na'er agreed in a daze, not knowing if she had even taken it in.

With Su Chen back at the Su Family, life naturally had to get back on track.

The first thing was going to school every day.

Su Chen had dropped out previously just to find Na'er.

After all, during this period, cultivation still relied on resources and one's own efforts.

The primary Soul Master Academy taught nothing but kindergarten-level courses; whether he attended or not didn't matter, and it certainly wasn't as important as his Na'er.

However, now that he was back, he still had to attend school.

Na'er was a special case; she hadn't awakened her Martial Soul yet and couldn't attend a Soul Master Academy.

After all, Na'er had her own way of growing, which Su Chen didn't understand at all, so he wouldn't interfere to avoid any accidents.

The Silver Dragon King was a First-Class God, after all, and had everything perfectly arranged; he, a mere brat, wouldn't meddle blindly.

Eastsea Academy had an intermediate and an advanced Soul Master Academy, but no primary Soul Master Academy.

Because there were too many students in primary Soul Master Academies, they had to be dispersed.

The academy Su Chen attended was called "Eastsea First School," the top-tier primary Soul Master Academy in Eastsea, where those who could enter were either wealthy or noble.

Here, talent didn't matter; only background did.

Just as he entered the classroom, Su Chen ran into a few close disciples from other families.

"Young Master Su, why are you back~"

"Young Master Su, long time no see. We thought you weren't going to hang out with us anymore~"

"Young Master Su, it's been a few months, you seem to have gotten stronger. What level is your Soul Power now?"

Several boys crowded around, chattering incessantly.

Because Su Chen was a transmigrator and possessed decent talent, he held quite a bit of prestige among his peers in the second-rate families.

He had gathered quite a few fair-weather friends around him, often messing around together.

"It was boring at home, so I came to experience life."

Su Chen said casually.

"Hehe, Young Master Su, I bet you're just here to watch the senior sisters perform~" one of the kids chuckled lewdly.

"What senior sisters?"

Su Chen was a bit bewildered, as he had simply been bored and wanted to experience the joy of attending school for a bit, while incidentally catching up with his old cronies—nothing more.

"Young Master Su, you really don't know?"

A young boy looked at him suspiciously.

"The third-year seniors are graduating, and there's a graduation party tonight. We get to see those talented senior sisters dancing, you know~"

Another young boy chimed in hurriedly.

"I see. Then I've returned at just the right time."

The corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

People on this continent matured early; by this age, they had already developed a longing for the opposite sex.

Of course, these little brats were still young, so it was merely a longing—they were all just fledglings.

Soon, evening arrived.

Su Chen and the other young masters naturally chose the best seats.

Music and singing filled the air, the host took the stage, and then various performances organized by the seniors began.

There were displays of martial soul skills, as well as standard singing and dancing; the entire party was incredibly lively.

"Look, Young Master Su, it's Senior Sister Mu Xi!"

A young boy nudged Su Chen, shouting in excitement.

"I didn't expect Senior Sister Mu Xi to participate in the graduation performance. This trip was worth it!"

"And Senior Sister Ouyang Zixin is there too, she's so beautiful~"

It wasn't just the boys around Su Chen; seeing the senior sisters dancing, all the male students in the academy were cheering.

After all, these seniors were usually seen as geniuses, so seeing them perform now—who wouldn't be excited?

"Mu Xi..."

Su Chen watched the dazzling young girl in the dance troupe ahead, whispering her name softly.

The girl had long golden hair and an exquisite, beautiful face, though her entire demeanor exuded a hint of coldness.

Clearly, her personality wasn't exactly suited for performing.

However, in the eyes of adults, students at the primary academy were still just children, so there was naturally no issue with them putting on various performances.

If Su Chen remembered correctly, Mu Xi was the only daughter of Mu Chen, the president of the Blacksmith Association.

Although Su Chen had considered her when he first obtained his system, he hadn't made any prior plans because of her high status; he hadn't expected to run into her here.

She was likely around ten years old, making her his senior.

Without hesitation, Su Chen took out his camera, zoomed in, aimed at Mu Xi, and pressed the shutter...

"Click—"

"Click—"

The sound of photos being taken was constant.

Of course, it wasn't just Su Chen; many boys had actually taken out their Soul Tool cameras, some taking photos and others recording videos.

Thus, Su Chen's act of taking pictures didn't seem out of place at all.

[Ding! Detected an S-rank target meeting the collection criteria!]

[Scanning... Scan complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting the S-rank goddess—Mu Xi!]

[Received collection reward: Talent—Metal Affinity]

[Metal Affinity: You possess a great affinity for metal; forging any metal will significantly increase your success rate.]

--

"Metal Affinity? I've become a forging genius just like that?"

Su Chen never expected to receive such a surprise the moment he returned to the academy.

He had originally intended to spend a fortune hiring several famous masters to teach him forging techniques.

Now it seemed unnecessary; he could just pull a few blacksmiths from his family and learn the basics.

Although Su Chen was wealthy, forging was extremely expensive, so he would save where he could.

"Young Master Su, so you like Mu Xi's type? I like Senior Sister Ouyang Zixin; she's gentle and virtuous. My dad says girls with that personality are better~"

A boy beside him saw Su Chen taking pictures of Mu Xi and chuckled, his eyes filled with the image of that young girl.

At the same time, he showed Su Chen the photo he had taken of Ouyang Zixin.

"Ouyang Zixin, huh..."

Seeing the girl in the photo, Su Chen recalled who she was.

It seemed Ouyang Zixin was Tang Wulin's first love in the original story.

Every young man has a senior sister in his heart.

Ouyang Zixin was that senior sister for Tang Wulin in his youth; after all, boys always tend to prefer girls who are more mature than themselves...

However, that budding affection eventually faded into nothingness.

The main reason was simply a lack of fate.

Had Ouyang Zixin been willing to accept Tang Wulin when he confessed, it would have been a completely different story...

But once Tang Wulin grew up, he and Ouyang Zixin were no longer people from the same world.

Su Chen took out his camera and snapped a photo of Ouyang Zixin.

[Ding! Detected an A-rank target meeting the collection criteria!]

[Scanning... Scan complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting the A-rank goddess--Ouyang Zixin!]

[Received collection reward: Soul Power Level +1]

Well, A-rank must be the minimum standard for the index collection, and the reward is mediocre, but daily photo check-ins should still be viable.

Su Chen thought to himself, though he wasn't overly disappointed.

As for their current favorability, both sides were at zero.

However, since they were both in Eastsea City, they were bound to run into each other eventually, and there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
