Lin Chen returned to Notting Academy and arrived outside Xiao Wu's dormitory door.
Knock, knock, knock!
He did not know whether Xiao Wu had run away, so he decided to knock and see.
"I'm coming!"
Xiao Wu's voice rang out from inside, and the door opened immediately afterward.
Lin Chen said in surprise, "You actually didn't run."
Xiao Wu replied matter-of-factly, "Since you gave me this chance, then either you were testing me, or you never intended to kill me."
Lin Chen: "..."
He had not expected this little rabbit to have wised up enough to figure out something so complicated.
He had underestimated her intelligence.
Lin Chen entered the room, while Xiao Wu casually closed the dormitory door behind him.
"Since you didn't run, stay by my side as a maid from now on. But I hope you understand what kind of status a maid has."
Lin Chen walked over to the bed and sat down, looking at Xiao Wu as she followed him in.
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Wu did not think much of it. As long as he did not kill her, it was fine.
Lin Chen nodded. "As for how to properly be a maid, you can ask the noble students at the academy."
"I don't want to see a servant bullying her master happen with you."
"Those are harsh words, but you need to keep them firmly in mind. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind gaining another 100,000-year Soul Ring and a 100,000-year Spirit Bone."
Seeing how serious he looked, Xiao Wu nodded solemnly as well. "I understand. I'll ask them and learn."
Seeing that she was fairly obedient, Lin Chen said nothing more.
With a flip of his right hand, an enormous chrysanthemum, resplendent in deep purple from stem to petal, appeared in his palm.
"This is the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a rare heavenly treasure. It can circulate qi through the limbs, unblock blood through the eight meridians, and forge a Golden Light Indestructible Body."
"Not only can it grant you an enormous amount of soul power, it can also improve your talent and potential."
Although Xiao Wu's Martial Soul was the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit, she belonged to the assault system, so the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum suited her quite well.
Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu's eyes widened.
She still did not know the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's precise effects, but it sounded incredibly impressive.
More importantly, Lin Chen was actually willing to give such a treasure to her.
This was simply...
He had helped conceal her soul beast aura and given her a heavenly treasure. Becoming his maid was clearly an absolute steal for her.
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Wu performed an awkward, improper salute before accepting the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum with both hands.
Lin Chen: "..."
"Learn proper etiquette from those noble students. Even this country bumpkin commoner can perform a better salute than you."
Xiao Wu's little face reddened. "I understand, Master."
Lin Chen said, "Eat the flower's pistil first, then consume the petals separately. Discard the stem and roots, then circulate your soul power to refine the medicinal potency."
"Mhm, mhm."
Xiao Wu nodded heavily, then consumed the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum under Lin Chen's watchful gaze, following his instructions.
Elsewhere.
Yu Xiaogang and Scarface slowly made their way to Nuoding City's pedestrian street, the busiest street in all of Nuoding City.
It was also the street with the greatest flow of people.
Watching the pedestrians come and go, even Scarface, who had been looking forward to this, could not help feeling a little nervous.
Yu Xiaogang was even worse.
Although it had not begun yet, his old face was already flushed blood-red, and he wished he could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
After today, Master would likely have no dignity left at all.
All he could do now was pray that no one recognized him. If that happened, he could at worst move to another city and live there.
But if he was recognized, the news would probably spread across the entire continent very quickly.
After all, he bore the title of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master's son. Anyone with ulterior motives would certainly do everything possible to spread word of what happened to him today.
Then he would become famous throughout the continent.
Of course, it would definitely not be good fame. It might even affect him even if he became the true number one theoretical master.
Heavens, please don't toy with me. Please don't let anyone recognize me.
Yu Xiaogang was still praying incessantly in his heart when Scarface, having finally summoned his courage, suddenly pulled him into his arms.
Then...
"Mm..."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flew wide open, and his entire body tensed as stiffly as a wooden stick.
Gasp!
The surrounding pedestrians all stopped involuntarily, staring at the two of them with shocked expressions.
Good lord.
They had heard plenty about people with unconventional preferences, but this was the first time they had seen someone so brazenly doing it in the middle of the street.
They had never even heard of such a thing.
Shouldn't people like that find somewhere secluded and do it secretly?
This was far too...
Yet before they could recover from their shock, Scarface had already moved on to the next step.
"Holy shit!"
"No way, in the middle of the street? This is that wild?"
Gasp!
No one left. Everyone around them waited for the passionate show to unfold.
Moreover, distant pedestrians noticed the commotion and gathered around as well. A dense wall of people gradually surrounded the two men.
"Damn, isn't that Master from Notting Academy?"
The voice that suddenly reached Yu Xiaogang's ears caused his body, which had only just begun to relax, to stiffen again.
Damn it, I've been recognized.
But it's fine. He only recognized my public identity, not the identity enhanced by my prestigious background.
Yu Xiaogang comforted himself inwardly.
"Master?"
"Isn't the Master you mean that joke who came up with the Ten Core Competencies, the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master?"
"Who else could it be?"
That exchange sent Yu Xiaogang's mood plunging straight to rock bottom. The thing he had feared most had finally happened.
The onlookers around them could not help drawing sharp breaths as well.
Good lord.
The dignified son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master—he could practically be called the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's young sect master—actually had this kind of preference.
Having such a preference would have been one thing, but he had even come to the street to seek excitement.
If word of this got out, where would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's dignity be?
From now on, any disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would probably have to walk with their head lowered whenever they went out, terrified of being recognized.
Tsk, tsk...
If Yu Yuanzhen found out, who knew whether he would beat him to death?
The surrounding murmurs and Yu Xiaogang's shattered state of mind did not affect Scarface's rhythm in the slightest.
Those gazes and the waves of discussion instead gave him an unprecedented thrill.
At last, the battle officially began.
Nearly dead inside, Yu Xiaogang responded with a numb expression. Yet all the distracting thoughts in his mind were soon drowned out by the sensation that enthralled him.
Since things had come to this, he might as well enjoy it first.
At first, the spectators had wanted to watch the spectacle, but the longer they watched, the more disgusted they felt. One after another, they began leaving.
And as they left, Yu Xiaogang's exploits gradually spread throughout Nuoding City.
