Just like that, Jiang Mu was directly chased out by Zhou Yi.

Had he been too blunt?

Even sensitivity shouldn't go this far.

He looked at the closed door, then at his own hand.

This was a rule-based power. It was far too strong.

Looking at the shut door again, he sighed once more, then turned and headed toward the classroom.

"This kind of little-woman demeanor makes it hard for me to be ruthless."

Jiang Mu muttered as he walked.

After thinking it over, Jiang Mu decided not to make a move for the time being. He would wait until the other party did something to him first.

[Chests x2]

Seeing how easily the chests had been obtained, Jiang Mu opened the blind boxes again.

"It'd be fine if I got another good clone secret art."

Rustle, rustle.

After the ritualistic sound of the draw, white and purple light flashed at the same time.

[White light. Too bad. Skipped directly.] [Purple light. Unknown remnant soul. (Obtained from a mysterious capable fellow. Who knows—there may be a surprise once it turns into a person.)]

"A remnant soul?"

"What, did it dig up Yao Lao?"

Jiang Mu muttered jokingly.

But that was unrealistic.

He had no idea what it was for. Could it fill in the missing remnant soul Wang Dong'er lacked?

No, that wasn't right. The system had explained that it could turn into a person, so it had to be an independent individual.

In the end, Jiang Mu failed to figure it out and could only return to the classroom first.

Tap, tap!

The moment he stepped into the classroom, the room, which had still been buzzing moments before, instantly fell silent.

"Phew, I thought it was the teacher."

Seeing that it was only Jiang Mu, everyone around him breathed sighs of relief and spoke in celebration.

"Oh, it's you."

"Hey, handsome, what did the teacher call you away for?"

Some of the bolder girls craned their necks and asked Jiang Mu questions from the doorway.

They were very curious about what the hot-tempered Zhou Yi had called Jiang Mu away to do.

"..."

Jiang Mu had just been about to answer when Wang Dong'er saw the scene and immediately became jealous.

"What are you asking for? The teacher will be here soon, so hurry up and get back to your seats!"

Jiang Mu turned and saw Wang Dong'er walking over. She directly grabbed his hand and pulled him toward where they had been sitting.

"Hehe."

After chuckling softly, Jiang Mu turned to observe everyone else's reactions.

Most people reacted normally. Hearing Wang Dong'er say that the teacher was about to arrive, they accepted the suggestion, lowered their heads, stopped talking, and pretended to wait quietly as usual.

One person was staring straight at them, flames practically shooting from his eyes. He could not hide his killing intent at all!

Creak, creak!

That person was Huo Yuhao. He was gritting his teeth. Though he had been seated in the front row earlier, he had now moved to the back row. Only one seat and an aisle separated him from Jiang Mu and Wang Dong'er!

"Interesting."

He had tried to take their seats while Jiang Mu was gone, only to be driven away by Wang Dong'er.

Creak, creak?

The sounds of two people sitting down rang out at the same time as they returned to their original seats.

Yet the feeling of being watched did not fade.

Jiang Mu frowned. It seemed he would have to seriously injure the other guy, or this reaction would feel very strange.

Without concealing it, he turned toward Wang Dong'er and spoke.

"Wang Dong."

Wang Dong'er turned her head toward Jiang Mu. "What is it?"

"Oh, right. Please pass something on to your sister. She has to come this afternoon for yesterday's agreement, or there won't be enough time."

Wang Dong'er froze upon hearing this. Who was her sister? Wasn't it herself? It had only been made up to deceive people.

Jiang Mu was actually still thinking about that examination.

"..."

She couldn't break an agreement she had already made. Wang Dong'er's face gradually reddened, and she rubbed her short pink-blue hair, hesitant and shy.

"What agreement?!" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked from beside them.

His tone was extremely agitated.

He knew Wang Dong'er had no sister. It was only her male disguise.

That so-called sister was merely how she looked after changing into women's clothing.

This situation made him agitated. Wang Dong'er's expression was very unnatural, unlike anything normal.

Could it really be like he imagined?

Huo Yuhao's imagination immediately ran wild.

A fantasy.

Nighttime.

Wang Dong'er changed back into her female form, her pink-blue hair cascading down her shoulders as she wore a thin, translucent nightgown.

Creak, creak~

She shyly lay down on the bed, waiting for Jiang Mu to pick her.

"Be gentler."

"..."

A passionate night!

The fantasy ended.

The scene before Huo Yuhao changed, returning to Wang Dong'er's current disguise. Her unnatural expression was magnified countless times in his eyes!

"Ah?"

Every reaction Wang Dong'er made seemed somehow seductive in his eyes.

His blood surged as Huo Yuhao felt as though his body was being sliced by a thousand blades and his bones corroded by countless poisons.

"Ha~"

His vision turned white in waves, his eyelids drooping as though he were about to faint!

"Damn it, my divine power still hasn't recovered!"

Huo Yuhao muttered. He had thought he could play the emotional card and use his martial soul to gain Zhou Yi's favor, thereby officially entering the Soul Guidance Department.

Yet reality was so painfully harsh!

But neither of them paid Huo Yuhao any attention.

"So? Can you pass it on, or do I need to go find her myself?"

"Hmph, got it." The shy Wang Dong'er puffed out her cheeks.

Only then did Jiang Mu withdraw his gaze. Wang Dong'er was currently in her male form—nothing to admire, nothing to admire.

Besides, he had something he absolutely needed to do. Turning his head, he looked in the direction filled with killing intent.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were red now, as if blood might spill from them at any moment.

"Hehe, Dong'er has to fulfill her agreement to examine my body. This is all because of you. Thanks to you attacking me."

The voice transmission had just entered Huo Yuhao's mind when he frowned. What did Jiang Mu mean, thanks to him attacking?

"If you hadn't attacked me, I wouldn't have known how to threaten her. Luckily, you made your move. I only used the Clear Sky Sect's reputation to threaten her a little, and I didn't expect her to really agree. Her little hands are so soft. You're just a guard, so stop dreaming of a toad eating swan meat."

Every word of mockery landed steadily in Huo Yuhao's mind.

It was exceptionally clear, and he could even see Jiang Mu's smug expression.

Creak!

"You!"

Huo Yuhao's face flushed red. He had just been about to say something when Wang Dong'er angrily demanded from beside him,

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I..."

Huo Yuhao swallowed his words. He could not reveal all of Wang Dong'er's embarrassing matters in front of everyone.

If he did, not only would Wang Dong'er lose face, but he, her future boyfriend, would lose face as well!

But he was unwilling to stay silent.

Looking at Jiang Mu's smug face, Jiang Mu even slowly pressed himself against Wang Dong'er's body.

"You... you... I want you dead!"

He could not endure it at all. The only person he could rely on was actually being occupied by someone else?

Wang Dong'er was still acting all delicate. Though she looked like a boy on the outside, her tone was soft and gentle.

His blood rushed straight to his head, but his current body could not withstand it at all.

Just like that, under everyone's watchful eyes,

Huo Yuhao stood up. Just as he was about to release a soul skill, his vision went black.

"Being young is nice. You fall asleep as soon as you hit the ground."

The onlookers beside them were all stunned.
