Lin Fan waved at Feng Baobao, then ran a few more steps forward.
Like a gust of wind, Feng Baobao caught up in an instant. She grabbed Lin Fan's arm from behind and said somewhat unhappily, "Why were you running? The robbery worked. Check whether that uncle tricked me or not."
Lin Fan was tugged so hard he nearly fell. He turned back to look at the adorably dazed Feng Baobao and gave an awkward smile.
Lin Fan did not dare provoke this airheaded Feng Baobao. She was different from Medusa Queen. Though Medusa Queen was domineering and tsundere, she knew what she wanted, so she obediently listened to him.
But Feng Baobao was a little silly and apparently would not become a maid just for rewards. Lin Fan still had to be careful. Thinking of Master Yu Xiaogang's miserable state just now, he was also afraid of getting smacked with a brick.
Lin Fan took the wallet from Feng Baobao, opened it, and found more than twenty Gold Soul Coins inside. He had struck it rich.
More than twenty Gold Soul Coins were no small sum. Their purchasing power was roughly equivalent to 200,000 in modern society. This was probably more than a year's salary for Master.
Lin Fan put away the wallet and gently held Feng Baobao's fair little hand. "Nicely done, Feng Baobao. Alright, I'll find you a place to stay. Tomorrow, I'll give you a new mission..."
Feng Baobao did not mind when Lin Fan held her hand. To her, Lin Fan was still just a child.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Baobao asked blankly, "You little brat, what else are we doing? When can I go back?"
Lin Fan smiled. "The Summoning Talisman lasts seven days. Just stay here for seven days, Feng Baobao. Don't be in such a hurry to go back. You'd only have other missions to carry out after returning anyway. The reward I give you definitely won't be small..."
"The reward won't be small? Fine, then I'll trust you..." Feng Baobao pursed her red lips adorably and left with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took Feng Baobao out of the academy, found a hotel nearby, and had her stay there first.
After arranging everything, Lin Fan said to Feng Baobao.
"Alright, Feng Baobao. Climb back into the academy to find me at noon tomorrow. I'm leaving first..."
"Oh, got it. I'll take a bath first. It's a little hot..."
Right in front of Lin Fan, Feng Baobao took off her shirt, revealing her lovely figure, then walked into the bathroom and began bathing.
Looking at her hazy silhouette, Lin Fan thought, I never expected Feng Baobao to have such a good figure too.
Of course, Lin Fan did not keep watching. He turned around and left. He did not want to die.
Feng Baobao's attributes had actually been enhanced. Combined with her naturally invincible, heaven-defying martial arts, powerful recovery ability, and immunity to poison and control effects—
Even Lin Fan could no longer calculate Feng Baobao's current combat power. She could probably fight a Soul Emperor without any problem. Her only weakness was that she had no skills at all. The Awei Eighteen Styles were practically useless, so she relied entirely on martial arts critical hits in battle.
After returning to the academy dormitory, Lin Fan had barely opened the door when he saw Tang San sitting inside and talking to Wang Sheng and the others.
"Xiao San, you're back..." Since Lin Fan wanted Tang San as his lackey, he naturally had to keep up appearances. He greeted Tang San.
Tang San nodded at Lin Fan. Lin Fan walked over and chatted with them for a while before learning that Wang Sheng and several other boys had been beaten today. This time, Xiao Chenyu had personally led a group of lackeys to beat them up, and he had demanded that Wang Sheng bring the silver-haired girl from their dormitory to meet them tomorrow afternoon.
Lin Fan glanced at Gu Yue Na'er and Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu seemed to still be savoring something as she sat on her bed, touching her lips.
Gu Yue Na'er was sitting beside her, looking at her somewhat foolishly.
Of course, Gu Yue Na'er was not afraid. She had returned to being obedient now and had almost forgotten what had happened before.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were clearly no longer as close as before. After Tang San returned, Xiao Wu merely gave him a casual greeting.
At this moment, Tang San was obviously somewhat unwilling to accept it. His eyes kept darting toward Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na'er.
What a sleazy old man. His true nature was finally showing.
After thinking for a while, Tang San seemed to want to show off his strength. He said angrily, "These people are too arrogant. They actually dare set their sights on Na Jie. Wang Sheng, let's send them a challenge today. Tomorrow, I'll deal with them..."
After saying that, Tang San deliberately glanced at Gu Yue Na'er.
Gu Yue Na'er heard him and looked over curiously. Then she looked at Lin Fan and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xiao Fan?"
Lin Fan smiled. "Nothing. This is a topic between us men. We'll help you deal with it."
"Oh!" Gu Yue Na'er nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Tang San also began to suspect that the current Gu Yue Na'er and the Gu Yue Na'er from downstairs in the dormitory were not the same person. He looked at Lin Fan in confusion and asked, "Fan Ge, does Na Jie sometimes turn into another person? That time in the cafeteria, she seemed a little strange too."
Lin Fan nodded. "That's right. Just try not to let her emotions get too agitated. I'm not her real older brother either, so I don't know what's going on."
Tang San nodded and curiously glanced at Gu Yue Na'er and Xiao Wu again.
Tang San's expression made Lin Fan increasingly annoyed. This guy seemed to have fallen for Gu Yue Na'er too. After all, Gu Yue Na'er and Xiao Wu were both cute, playful girls of the same type, but Gu Yue Na'er's silver hair, Ice Muscle Jade Bone, and face were even more alluring than Xiao Wu's.
What a sleazy bastard. Sure enough, he only liked little girls...
Lin Fan finally understood why Tang San secretly hugged Xiao Wu when they were young, deceived Xiao Wu's younger sister, remained devoted to Xiao Wu after growing up, and rejected girls like Hu Liena...
That did not mean Tang San was all that great. He simply liked little-girl types, and he had secretly ogled Zhu Zhuqing too.
Afterward, Tang San had one of the boys go out and deliver his challenge. By evening, Dorm Seven had also received Xiao Chenyu's challenge letter.
Xiao Chenyu's challenge letter was also very domineering, simple and direct.
Meet in the small woods behind the academy at two tomorrow afternoon. If you don't bring that silver-haired girl to me, none of you will be going back.
After reading the challenge letter, Tang San gave a disdainful smile. "Don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll handle them alone..."
Lin Fan secretly thought, This guy Tang San is pretty arrogant. He only got a Datura Snake Spirit Ring. Looks like I need Feng Baobao to give him a good beating tomorrow.
Master had already been beaten. How could Tang San be spared?
That night, relying on the experience points from checking in, Lin Fan reached level thirteen and gained another lottery chance.
Lin Fan immediately drew the lottery. He did not get any skill, but instead obtained a Strengthening Inner Core.
Lin Fan examined it. This Strengthening Inner Core could permanently increase physical strength. Every pill consumed would raise physical strength by one level.
"Seems pretty good..."
With nothing else to do, Lin Fan directly used the inner core. Soon, he felt bursts of cracking sounds coming from his bones.
The greatest effect of increased physical strength was that his body's defense rose several times over, and his strength improved somewhat as well.
Lin Fan was very satisfied. After obtaining the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword, his body had already been strengthened once. Now that he had taken the Strengthening Inner Core, even without using the Berserk skill, he should be able to crush Tang San.
As for other skills and abilities, Lin Fan was not in a hurry. He was only level thirteen now and could still check in every day to level up. There would be many more lottery chances waiting for him in the future.
After class ended the next morning, Li Qian, the female teacher in uniform, walked out of the classroom. However, she deliberately waited for Tang San to come out before saying, "You're Master's disciple, right? Go check on him quickly. He's hospitalized in the academy infirmary and probably won't recover for quite some time..."
"What? What happened to my teacher? Who did it?" Tang San suddenly clenched his fists and became somewhat furious.
Lin Fan, Gu Yue Na'er, and Xiao Wu also walked out of the classroom at this time.
Everyone was still a child. Gu Yue Na'er and Xiao Wu were two little girls. Gu Yue Na'er even carried a backpack, looking incredibly cute. She rather liked studying Soul Master knowledge.
Lin Fan also pretended to be shocked and hurriedly said, "What? Master was injured?"
Li Qian shook her head. "I don't know who did it either. You can ask him yourselves. He's in Infirmary Three. We teachers have already visited him."
"Alright, thank you, Teacher..." Lin Fan thanked Li Qian, secretly glancing at her curvy backside. This woman was actually quite attractive too.
After Li Qian left, Lin Fan hurriedly said to Tang San, "Let's go see Master quickly. We can deal with Xiao Chenyu this afternoon..."
"Dammit, who dared injure my teacher..." Tang San looked furious and quickly nodded.
Lin Fan secretly glanced at Xiao Wu again, squeezed her hand, and said to Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na'er, "You two don't need to come. Xiao Wu, keep an eye on Gu Yue Na'er..."
"Mm, alright, Fan Ge..." Xiao Wu nodded and took Gu Yue Na'er's hand. The two girls skipped away together.
After Lin Fan and Tang San went downstairs and passed the dormitory building, Lin Fan indeed saw Feng Baobao, her long hair flowing, already waiting for him below.
"Feng Baobao... Hehe, I'll let her wait a little longer. I'll have her beat Tang San later..."
Thinking this, Lin Fan did not call out to Feng Baobao. He quickly followed Tang San to the infirmary, pretending to visit the badly beaten Master.
