(System, can you set it so that whenever I'm about to be in mortal danger, the Primary Pathstrider Experience Card is used automatically at once?)
"Ding. Setting complete. The system will fully protect the host's safety. Please rest assured."
Only after his safety was guaranteed did Ye Yun slowly fall asleep.
By the time he opened his eyes again, day had already broken.
Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes and was just about to stretch comfortably when he felt as if a soft, heavy lump was pressing down on his chest, leaving him unable to move.
Puzzled, he lifted the blanket and looked down. His face darkened on the spot.
Xiao Wu was sprawled across him, her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him, her head buried against his chest as she smacked her lips and slept soundly.
She had even drooled all over the place, soaking the clothes over his chest completely through.
Ye Yun could not take it anymore. He raised his hand and rapped her on the head.
Thud!
"Ow!! Who?! Who dares ambush Sister Xiao Wu?!"
Xiao Wu instantly woke from the pain, abruptly lifting her head and rubbing her forehead.
But when the corner of her eye caught sight of the wet patch on Ye Yun's chest, then met Ye Yun's speechless and decidedly unfriendly face, she immediately realized what she had done last night.
Her cheeks flushed slightly. She gave an awkward, sheepish laugh, then quickly untangled herself and climbed off Ye Yun.
"Hehe, good morning, Brother Yun! Look how nice the weather is today. The sun's especially bright~"
Seeing this girl seriously forcing a change of subject, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly, raised his hand, and knocked her on the head again. Then he got up and climbed out of bed.
Just then, Xiao Wu's gaze suddenly fixed on the head of the bed. She cried out in surprise and pointed at the two things placed there.
"Brother Yun, look! There are buns here, and a letter!"
"Let me see."
Ye Yun picked up the letter beside the buns and opened it to read.
"Brother Yun, I've gone with the dean to obtain a spirit ring first. Breakfast is already bought, so don't worry.
"If that fraud asks about me, please help cover for me. I would be endlessly grateful.
"Tang San."
Mm. Tang San, this little follower, really is thoughtful enough. He even specially bought me breakfast before leaving.
Ye Yun reached out to eat a bun and fill his stomach, only for his hand to grasp empty air.
Hm?!! Where are the buns?!
Ye Yun whipped around, his eyes locking hard onto Xiao Wu, who had a bun clamped in her mouth and was trying to quietly tiptoe away.
"Damn it! Those were my buns! You polished them all off!!"
Xiao Wu's body stiffened. She mumbled around the bun as she chewed, her eyes darting left and right.
Since she had been caught red-handed, she did not bother arguing. She just chewed even faster.
"Hehe, I've got something urgent to do, so I'm leaving first!"
The moment she finished speaking, she turned and bolted out the door, afraid her head would get knocked again.
Spare the rod for three days and she'll tear the roof off. Today she dares steal my buns; tomorrow she'll dare steal my gold coins!
The more Ye Yun thought about it, the angrier he got. He pushed open the door and followed after her.
"Stop right there!!"
"Bleh, bleh, bleh~ Come catch me! If you catch me, I'll give you hehehe~"
As Xiao Wu sprinted wildly, she looked back at Ye Yun, stuck out her tongue, and made faces.
Just as she was about to rush into the teaching building, she suddenly saw that old and ugly fraud standing right at the entrance, blocking the only way through.
Xiao Wu's heart lurched. Frightened, she hurriedly slammed on the brakes, nearly slipping underfoot, and frantically tried to take a detour.
But in that brief instant of delay, a hand pressed down on her shoulder.
Xiao Wu shuddered all over and stiffly turned her head little by little, forcing a smile onto her face that looked worse than crying.
"Brother, you definitely won't hit me, right? I'm so cute, and so well-behaved... Ow!!"
Ye Yun casually blew on his fist, completely ignoring Xiao Wu's tearful, pitiful expression as she begged to be spared.
He had also noticed Yu Xiaogang up ahead. Disgust immediately welled up in him, and he felt it was just his bad luck to run into such an unlucky thing first thing in the morning.
And of course, that unlucky thing was coming this way.
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and stopped the two of them, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Wait. Where's Little San? He isn't with you? Where is he?"
Xiao Wu already found this ugly bastard unpleasant, and now that she saw his lofty, bossy manner, her temper flared on the spot.
"How would I know?! Stop bothering us!"
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly darkened, and he snapped sharply:
"How dare you! Do you have even the slightest bit of upbringing?! Don't you understand respecting your teachers and honoring the way?!"
Those words struck Xiao Wu's sore spot head-on.
What she hated most was other people bringing up parents and lecturing her.
Xiao Wu's eyes instantly reddened. She did not give Yu Xiaogang the chance to say even half a word more. Her figure suddenly sprang forward, her slender body rising straight into the air!
The Soft-Bone Rabbit martial soul emerged. Her long scorpion-tail braid whipped out in an instant, wrapping precisely and tightly around Yu Xiaogang's neck before yanking him viciously backward!
"First soul skill, Waist Bow!"
A yellow soul ring flashed. Xiao Wu brought both legs together, kicked out with all her strength, and slammed them hard into Yu Xiaogang's stomach!
Bang!
A muffled impact exploded out.
Yu Xiaogang was like a torn ball, kicked more than ten meters away before crashing heavily to the ground. The pain left him unable to catch his breath for a long while.
He braced himself against the ground and struggled to crawl up. After coughing several times in succession, his face turning blue and white, he gritted his teeth and growled:
"Cough, cough... Come out, Luo Sanpao! First soul skill, farting like thunder, Luo Sanpao that rends heaven and earth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a round, pig-like martial soul leapt in front of him in response. At the same time, its belly rapidly swelled, clearly on the verge of releasing its soul skill.
Yu Xiaogang had long since prepared for this. He quickly pulled a mask from his robes and put it over his face.
Ye Yun narrowed his eyes. Harmony Tuning quietly activated, and then he pulled Xiao Wu and ran into the distance.
An invisible mental ripple instantly enveloped Luo Sanpao. The pig-like martial soul, which had been ready to strike, instantly lost focus in its eyes, and layers of chaotic, camo-colored dizzy halos rose in their depths.
The next second, Luo Sanpao slipped completely out of Yu Xiaogang's control. It abruptly turned around, planted its four hooves on the ground, and charged straight toward its master! In midair, it raised its plump backside high, aiming it dead at Yu Xiaogang, who had just finished putting on his mask.
"Pffff----!!!"
A piercing, drawn-out boom suddenly exploded! Shit-yellow smoke immediately shrouded the surrounding area.
Everyone nearby scattered in all directions, afraid of catching even the slightest whiff.
Xiao Wu, who had already been dragged far away by Ye Yun ahead of time, stared at the sky full of foul, fishy smoke with lingering fear, her little face scrunched into a ball.
"Brother, thank goodness you reacted fast and pulled me away. If even a bit of that stuff touched me, I'd want to peel off a whole layer of skin!"
She smacked her lips in disgust, her face full of disbelief.
"How can such a disgusting soul skill exist in this world? It's actually farting! That's way too absurd!"
A flash of disgust also crossed Ye Yun's eyes, and he sneered inwardly.
A perfectly good martial soul, dragged down by this piece of trash. Tsk, tsk, tsk. He really is useless enough.
After a moment, the pungent smoke slowly dispersed.
Luo Sanpao had long since vanished from the field. All that remained was Yu Xiaogang, collapsed flat on his back, eyes rolled up, white foam constantly spilling from his mouth while his body twitched madly on the ground in waves.
In the eyes of the watching students, the scene was perfectly clear.
Everyone had already assumed that Yu Xiaogang's own martial soul had gone out of control and that he had been knocked unconscious on the spot by his own martial soul's fart attack.
For a time, low murmurs of discussion rose all around, filled with mockery and contempt.
"I'm dying here. His martial soul can actually go out of control and take himself down?"
"As expected of the legendary owner of a trash martial soul. He can't even control his own soul skill."
"That's way too useless. And he calls himself a master? What a joke!"
Everyone pointed and whispered, their comments rising and falling from all directions.
He could not even keep a mere trash martial soul under control, and instead ended up foaming at the mouth, twitching, and passing out. A person like that was simply trash among trash!
Ye Yun no longer paid him any attention and directly called Xiao Wu to go to class.
This time, Yu Xiaogang had been nailed to the pillar of shame. But this was only the beginning. There were still "good days" waiting for him later.
I really want to see what expression you'll have once Tang San comes back after obtaining his soul ring.
