The third day of competition began, and Area Seventeen was divided into five new teams.
With five victories in five matches, Ling Feng's trio sat firmly as the seeded team.
When their opponents saw the three of them, their faces changed drastically, and in the matches that followed, every single one of them chose to forfeit without exception.
This was also the instruction their teachers had given them before the matches.
Over the past two days, Ling Feng's performance had already been seen by everyone.
Aside from a very small number of teams, the others could not even force Ning Tian and Wu Feng to release their martial souls.
Of course, even the seeded teams from other areas might not necessarily be able to do that.
The teachers of the other classes, as if by prior agreement, told their students to forfeit decisively if they encountered Ling Feng's team, preserving their strength to deal with the other teams.
And so, on the third day, Ling Feng and the other two did not even have to take the stage before directly securing every victory.
Ten wins out of ten!
To celebrate, Ning Tian directly invited Ling Feng and Wu Feng to the Seven Treasure Restaurant for a meal.
Only a fool would pass up a free bargain.
Naturally, Ling Feng would not refuse something like this.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ling Feng bid farewell to the two of them and returned to the dormitory to continue cultivating.
Counting the days, a month had already passed since Ling Luocheng had gone out on her mission.
The two of them had spent quite a bit of time together. Especially during this period—apart from the very beginning, when Ling Feng still attended class—the two of them had practically been stuck together the whole time afterward.
Now that she had suddenly disappeared for a month, Ling Feng felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart.
"She should be back soon, right?"
Ling Feng reached out and felt around on the bed. The cool, smooth touch of the soft silk made him unable to help missing Ling Luocheng.
"I'm not cultivating today. Sleep!"
"I hope I can see Sister Luocheng when I wake up tomorrow!"
Ling Feng burrowed under the covers, covered his head, and fell into a deep sleep.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning.
While Ling Feng was still asleep, a graceful figure opened the dormitory door and walked in.
Immediately afterward, a series of clattering sounds came from the living room.
"Mmph... Who is it?"
In the past, Ling Feng would always use meditation in place of sleep, and with his Spirit Eyes on top of that, not the slightest stir outside could escape his perception.
Perhaps because something had been weighing on his mind, he had slept rather deeply the previous night, to the point that even when sounds came from outside, Ling Feng was still groggy and not fully awake.
"Hm? Wait, someone's here."
"Sister Luocheng!"
The moment he thought he might see Ling Luocheng, Ling Feng suddenly opened his eyes, hurriedly threw on his clothes, and rushed out.
"Sis, I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Feng had already charged into the living room.
However, when he saw who had come, he froze. Immediately after, his gaze locked firmly onto the girl before him.
The girl's golden hair hung down to her slender waist, and her slim, long legs drew the eye even more. The side of her face that was revealed still looked somewhat youthful, yet it had already begun to show a flawless, stunning beauty.
She was the perfect seed of a beauty.
What made Ling Feng's blood surge the most was the outfit she was wearing.
A black-and-white maid outfit perfectly displayed the graceful curves of her body.
On her full, rounded legs, she was also wearing a pair of creamy white stockings...
"Mmph, you're awake?"
Jiang Nannan turned her head and greeted Ling Feng with a smile, quietly observing his expression.
Seeing Ling Feng somewhat dazed, the smile on Jiang Nannan's face became even brighter.
"Didn't I promise before that I'd treat you to a meal?"
"There were tests coming up a while ago, and I had a lot of classes, so I didn't come."
"I finished everything yesterday, so I came over first thing this morning."
"I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
Ling Feng quickly withdrew his gaze and touched his nose somewhat unnaturally.
"Not really, but..."
"Why are you dressed like that?"
As he spoke, Ling Feng secretly stole another couple of glances.
Jiang Nannan was not the least bit embarrassed by Ling Feng's reaction. On the contrary, she was extremely pleased.
Hadn't she dressed like this precisely so Ling Feng would look?
If Ling Feng did not look, that was when she would be unhappy.
"What's wrong? Does it not look good?"
As she spoke, Jiang Nannan put down what she was doing, walked up to Ling Feng, and spun in front of him, stirring up a faint, sweet breeze.
"It looks good, sure, but..."
Ling Feng took a deep breath and, for a moment, did not know how to say it.
Jiang Nannan burst out laughing.
"Sister Luochen isn't here, and I saw you've been eating at the cafeteria all the time, so I came over to cook for you myself."
"I was wandering around outside a couple of days ago and saw a shop selling this kind of outfit. After asking around, I found out it's called a housekeeping uniform."
"I happened to be thinking of coming here, so I bought it."
As she spoke, Jiang Nannan deliberately straightened her skirt hem, causing Ling Feng to unconsciously catch sight of the absolute territory between her white stockings and short maid skirt.
"What kind of housekeeping uniform is this!"
"It's clearly a bombshell outfit!"
Naturally, Ling Feng could only mutter those words in his heart. He did not dare say them out loud.
Jiang Nannan returned to the living room and brought the freshly made breakfast to the dining table.
"Since you're already awake, hurry up and eat..."
Jiang Nannan had only spoken halfway when, as she looked at Ling Feng, her gaze subconsciously swept him up and down. Immediately afterward, her beautiful eyes showed surprise.
Seeing Jiang Nannan's reaction, Ling Feng finally realized it belatedly—
He had just woken up to begin with, and on top of that, he had seen such an excitingly beautiful sight, so...
"I'm going to wash up first!"
Ling Feng hurriedly turned around to cover the vital area, then ran toward the bathroom.
Jiang Nannan stood there in a daze. Only when the sound of running water came from the bathroom did she finally come back to her senses.
"It's actually that..."
Jiang Nannan stretched out both hands and gestured in front of herself. Who knew what flashed through her mind, but immediately afterward, her pretty face turned completely red.
Ling Feng calmed down in the bathroom for quite a while, splashing cold water over his face several times before finally sitting down at the dining table.
Jiang Nannan had already adjusted her mood. Sitting opposite Ling Feng, she propped her chin in both hands and looked at him with anticipation all over her face.
"Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Most of the blush on Jiang Nannan's face had faded, but a little still remained.
After all, this was also her first time wearing this kind of outfit in front of a boy. It was inevitable that she would feel a little shy.
Breakfast was very simple, about the same as the ordinary breakfast sold at the academy, but the taste was much better.
"It's good. The flavor's pretty nice!"
Ling Feng took a bite and praised her sincerely.
"Then I'll make it for you from now on too!"
After receiving Ling Feng's praise, Jiang Nannan immediately felt sweet inside.
"Oh right, Sister Nannan, how did you get in?"
Ling Feng took a bite of his sandwich and asked casually.
"Because I often trouble her with things, Sister Luochen gave me a key to the dorm."
"Most of the time, Sister Luochen cultivates in the dorm, so I just wait in the room."
"Sometimes, when she goes out on missions, I write a note and leave it here."
Jiang Nannan waved the key in her hand.
"So that's how it is."
Ling Feng lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, but his gaze caught sight of Jiang Nannan's foot as she stretched that long leg over.
"It tastes great!"
Ling Feng abruptly took another big bite of his sandwich and said.
