First Meeting with the Angel Who Gave Herself Away

The next morning, as daylight had only begun to brighten and scattered rays of dawn filtered through the window lattice, Liu Erlong awoke from her dreams.

She wore only a simple gray dress. Her long dark hair was unbound and draped casually over her shoulders, while the loose, plain fabric did nothing to conceal her exquisite, voluptuous figure and its striking curves.

After rising and stretching, Liu Erlong followed her usual routine. She reached for the watering can by the door, intending to tend to the flowers and plants in the courtyard as she normally did, passing the leisurely morning hours.

But just as she raised her hand to move, her entire body froze again. It felt as though she had forgotten something, and the relaxed feeling throughout her body instantly vanished.

Looking toward the distant windows of the manor, she vaguely caught sight of a hazy human silhouette.

The figure was shrouded layer upon layer in invisible spiritual power, making its appearance and build impossible to discern. Yet it was enough for Liu Erlong to immediately remember something.

Liu Erlong hurriedly composed herself, put away the watering can in her hand, changed into casual clothes, and headed for the dean's office.

She had nearly forgotten that she had a superior now.

Inside the room, Xiao Wu had both hands braced against the window. Only after seeing Liu Erlong leave did she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

She felt embarrassed and flustered. Chen Ling's spiritual barrier concealed everything in the room, so no outsider could possibly see inside—but she could see outside!

If anyone saw what she looked like right now, she might as well die.

Xiao Wu shot Chen Ling a coquettish glare over her shoulder. Her snow-white rabbit tail swayed slightly, stirring a blush of pink.

Liu Erlong had barely sat down in the dean's office when a crisp knock sounded from outside.

"Come in," Liu Erlong said softly without even raising her head.

Yinshu pushed open the door and entered, a hint of surprise hidden in her eyes.

Their dean might not come to the office even once a year. All the academy's major and minor affairs had always been handled by Yinshu on her behalf.

Ordinarily, unless she encountered a problem that truly could not be resolved, she would never take the initiative to seek out Liu Erlong.

There was a reason for her visit today. She had first gone to the rear courtyard in search of Liu Erlong, but failed to find her, so she had made her way to the office instead.

"Dean, the academy has received a formal visiting card from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family." Yinshu suppressed her surprise, stepped forward respectfully, and handed over the neatly arranged card in her hand.

"The imperial family?" Liu Erlong had just raised her hand to accept it when the office door was knocked on again, and another Blue Tyrant Academy instructor hurried inside.

"Dean, there's also a visiting card from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

The two instructors exchanged glances, each seeing the same bewilderment in the other's eyes.

Since when had their dean become so incredible? Two top-tier powers were visiting at the same time, and they had even used the most formal visiting-card protocol. It was utterly baffling.

"This..."

Liu Erlong fell silent for a moment, took the two visiting cards between her fingers, and casually stored them in her Soul Tool.

"You two make the preparations. I'll go notify the dean." With that, Liu Erlong turned and left, leaving behind two even more baffled instructors.

The dean? Weren't you the dean?

After their brief daze, the two nearly came to the realization at once, immediately thinking of the two students who had enrolled yesterday.

The surname Dugu in particular was highly distinctive. Combined with the uproarious news that had spread from Heaven Dou Royal Academy yesterday, every clue instantly connected.

The two exchanged another glance. The confusion in their eyes was replaced by intense excitement, and even their heartbeats quickened.

The reason was simple. Aside from Spirit Hall Academy, no academy currently had a Titled Douluo stationed within it. If their guess was true, then didn't that mean Blue Tyrant Academy now had a Titled Douluo in residence?

Holding the two visiting cards, Liu Erlong hurried downstairs to where Chen Ling was staying, unease churning in her heart. She raised her hand and lightly knocked on the door.

Her feelings were complicated. Though Chen Ling had never restricted her freedom and had treated her fairly peacefully, in a sense, her current situation was no different from offering herself in repayment. She dared not make the slightest mistake in either word or action.

After the knock, no response came from inside for a long while. Liu Erlong did not dare disturb him rashly and could only stand obediently a short distance from the door, waiting quietly.

Her temper might be fiery, but that depended on whom she was facing.

In the bathroom, Chen Ling was lounging in the bathtub. Hearing the knock from the door, he patted Xiao Wu in front of him.

"Mm." Xiao Wu grumbled discontentedly. Only then did she rise, after smearing Chen Ling's face, then leave with a mischievous smile.

"What a temptress." Chen Ling shook his head helplessly.

As expected of the Rascal Rabbit, Xiao Wu learned maidly skills at astonishing speed.

Moreover, after absorbing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, her originally sweet and charming face had gained a touch of captivating, gentle allure. Her figure had also grown ever more slender and full, upgrading from a medium cup to a large one.

Chen Ling got up, and Xiao Wu considerately stepped forward to help him dress.

One had to admit, feudal decadence truly made it easy to lose oneself.

Another half hour passed before Chen Ling finally led a rosy-faced Xiao Wu out the door.

Seeing them, Liu Erlong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately steadied herself and bowed respectfully. "Your Excellency."

Once she had finished bowing, she hurried forward and respectfully presented the two visiting cards with both hands. Her eyes unconsciously swept over Xiao Wu at Chen Ling's side, and her cheeks quietly reddened at once.

Xiao Wu's face was flushed, and a soft mist lingered in her eyes. Liu Erlong already knew the answer to what had happened inside.

As an old virgin who had suppressed herself for far too long, Liu Erlong naturally had her suspicions upon seeing Xiao Wu like this. Most of what she knew about Chen Ling had come from Yu Xiaogang and Flender.

She naturally knew that he had taken away a girl named Xiao Wu from among Shrek's students. His purpose was obvious, and in Liu Erlong's eyes, this did indeed match what the two men had said.

Only, Xiao Wu was probably not being forced as they had claimed. She was completely willing. The affection in someone's eyes could be faked, but Liu Erlong had once gone through that stage herself. Naturally, she could see Xiao Wu's undisguised dependence on Chen Ling and her love for him.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the imperial family?" Chen Ling was somewhat surprised when he saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's visiting card.

It seemed Ning Fengzhi had a brain after all. Chen Ling had thought he would first have to endure some sort of show of strength. As for the imperial family's card, he was not surprised.

Another target had taken the bait. Chen Ling chuckled inwardly as he looked at the name Xue Qinghe at the signature.

She would be the trigger that allowed him to directly surpass the Limit Douluo realm and even become a god.

A little angel who offered herself up for free.

Of course, Chen Ling would not hide his lustful nature in the slightest. Who wouldn't want to see a holy, radiant angel fall into the mortal world?
