The New Cat Girl, the Jealous Fox

As the sun and moon turned, more than three years slipped quietly by.

Xu Peinian was no longer a little brat. He now looked little different from an adult man in his previous life.

Over the past three years, Xu Peinian had been unmatched in prominence at Spirit Hall Academy.

He broke through to Soul Elder at eight, had no rivals below Soul Ancestor at nine, and reached Soul Ancestor at eleven.

Afterward, Yan of the Golden Generation trio came to challenge him. Xu Peinian, newly advanced to Soul Ancestor, defeated Yan, who was close to becoming a Soul King.

Half a year later, no active student at Spirit Hall Academy could match him. Xu Peinian firmly held the throne as the number one member of the Golden Generation.

Even at Spirit Hall Academy, where geniuses gathered, Xu Peinian still stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Today was Spirit Hall Academy's recruitment day.

As the undisputed number one of the Golden Generation, Xu Peinian had been pulled over by the academy leaders to serve as its public face, displaying Spirit Hall Academy's strength and heritage to the new students.

Wherever Xu Peinian was, Hu Liena was sure to appear.

This was the consensus among the academy's students.

Over the past few years, Hu Liena had accompanied Xu Peinian everywhere. Although Xu Peinian insisted that they were merely an ordinary senior and junior, in the eyes of those who cared to notice, Hu Liena and Xu Peinian had long become a couple.

"A-Nian, are you tired? Do you want to lean on your sister and rest for a while?" Hu Liena, standing close beside Xu Peinian, asked thoughtfully.

Her seductive fox eyes were brimming with tenderness, and their reflections contained nothing but her A-Nian.

Xu Peinian had not expected Hu Liena to dare tease him in public. To keep this seductive fox from doing anything even more outrageous, he shifted slightly to the side, putting some distance between them.

Hu Liena was unwilling to accept that. Whenever Xu Peinian moved one step aside, she immediately moved one step closer.

In the end, she even grabbed his forearm, the resentment in her eyes seemingly enough to drown him completely.

Hah... Xu Peinian silently sighed and could only let her hold on to him.

Looking at this clingy fox spirit, Xu Peinian's heart grew unsettled as well.

He did not know whether Hu Liena had been sent by Bibi Dong or whether she had truly been drawn to him and approached him of her own accord.

If Bibi Dong had sent her, then her acting was simply too good.

Besides, the tenderness she had shown over these past three years truly did not seem like an act.

In the end, a ripple still stirred in his heart.

"Whoa!"

A wave of startled cries rose from the crowd waiting in line behind them.

Xu Peinian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl in leather standing before the registration desk, her figure explosively curvaceous.

Why did she look somewhat familiar?

"Hello, my name is Zhu Zhuqing. I am a level thirty-one agility-attack battle Soul Elder."

"Ah? Oh, all right. I'll register you here."

The female student in charge of registration finally snapped out of her shock. As she recorded Zhu Zhuqing's information, she could not help lowering her head to glance at her own chest.

What did she eat to grow that big? She probably could not even see her toes when she looked down while walking.

Even the female student was so shocked, let alone the male students around them.

Xu Peinian's eyes widened too, but he was not merely stunned by the girl's scorching figure. He was even more surprised that she had appeared here at this very moment.

"Senior, may I ask if you know someone named Xu Peinian?"

It was the longest sentence the cool and aloof girl had spoken aside from introducing herself.

"You know Demon King Xu... ah, no, Junior Xu?"

The female student at the registration desk realized Xu Peinian was standing not far away and immediately changed her words.

"Yes. May I ask where he is?"

A faint flush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks. It was the first time she had asked about a boy in public.

"There, he's standing over there."

The female student gestured in one direction with her chin, then lowered her voice to remind her.

"But I have to warn you, Junior Xu belongs to Senior Hu. You should be careful."

Zhu Zhuqing looked in the direction she indicated, and her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

She saw a vaguely familiar figure standing tall in the open space not far away.

Even amid the thronging crowd, she immediately locked onto him, the most dazzling person among them.

In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, everything around her was gray. Only the figure she had longed for shone as though bathed in countless lights, standing out strikingly from the crowd.

Her tight leather outfit outlined her fiery figure, and the swell of her chest trembled with every graceful catlike step, making onlookers' hearts race as they feared the leather might burst from the strain.

Xu Peinian looked at the cool and aloof girl who had stopped before him, and a complicated expression flashed through his eyes.

"Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Yes."

Just like several years ago, the girl was still cool and aloof, still unwilling to say much.

"You... really came."

Xu Peinian had not expected that the girl would truly come looking for him because of a casual response he had given six years ago.

Zhu Zhuqing pressed her rosy lips together, but her large, watery eyes stared fixedly at Xu Peinian.

"Are you planning to join Spirit Hall Academy? Didn't you consider any other academies?"

When he saw the girl nod slightly, Xu Peinian was deeply shaken.

Not only had Zhu Zhuqing not gone to Shrek Academy to find Dai Mubai, she had truly been lured here by him.

That meant the Shrek Seven Monsters could never appear again. From now on, there would only be the Shrek Six Monsters.

"A-Nian, who is this?"

An impossibly sweet and seductive female voice came from Xu Peinian's side, followed by a pair of arms wrapping around his.

Xu Peinian turned his head and saw Hu Liena tightly hugging his arm. Even the full curves beneath her collar had been squeezed out of shape.

Hu Liena was not looking at Xu Peinian now. Instead, she watched the "acquaintance" before them with a dangerous gaze.

She had not expected that despite guarding against it so carefully and following A-Nian without leaving his side every day, that seductive vixen from her previous life had still come knocking.

So this was how A-Nian had met Zhu Zhuqing today. But judging from their interaction, they must have known each other much earlier.

Damn it, I was reborn too late. I should have snatched A-Nian away the moment he was born and tied him to my side, never allowing him to leave me for even a single step!

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing notice the seductive woman standing beside Xu Peinian, a woman whose beauty did not pale in comparison to her own.

So she was the so-called Senior Hu.

Seeing the intimate way Senior Hu clung to Xu Peinian, along with the possessive, threatening look in her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze dimmed.

Even the joy she had felt upon seeing Xu Peinian was washed away completely.

Xu Peinian sensed that something was off about the atmosphere and hurriedly spoke.

"Senior Liena, this is Zhu Zhuqing. She is a friend of mine."

"Zhu Zhuqing, this is Hu Liena. She's a few years older than us, so you can call her Senior Liena."

As he spoke, Xu Peinian pulled his arm free from Hu Liena's hold.

He had not realized this seductive fox had such strength in her hands.

"Um, Senior Liena, Zhu Zhuqing just arrived at the academy and doesn't know anyone. I'll take her around and show her the place first."

Xu Peinian decided to separate the two girls for now. At worst, he could coax Hu Liena afterward. After all, she lived right next door to him.

"A-Nian, don't you want your sister anymore?"

Hu Liena pouted and looked at Xu Peinian pitifully, an utterly heart-melting sight.

After spending several years together, Xu Peinian naturally knew this was Hu Liena's usual tactic. She wanted him to soften his heart.

"Be good, Senior Liena. We'll have plenty of time to be together later. Let me show the new junior around the academy today."

However, his mind was made up. After offering her a few comforting words, he called Zhu Zhuqing over and left this troublesome place with her.
