"Ding~ The system is binding~~ Binding successful!" "Ding~ The Wish-Point System is at your service!"

A system had arrived?

Could it be that dear Mother Earth's will had discovered one of her children was missing and had specially arranged this for him?

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host, on receiving a Beginner's Gift Pack." "Ding~ The system has unlocked [Attribute Panel], [Wish List], and [Points Shop]."

"Host, silently recite their names to open or close them."

A stream of information then flooded into Jun Lin's mind.

Jun Lin carefully absorbed it. A flash of understanding crossed his mind—this was the system transmitting information to him.

The information was not extensive, merely a simple introduction to the system's functions.

"This Wish-Point System is rather novel. It distributes points every day according to one's cultivation level."

"Then, by completing someone's Wish List, I can obtain rewards from that person or a certain location?"

Jun Lin discovered that this so-called Wish-Point System was very simple.

It had only a system panel, a Wish List, and a Points Shop.

There was no need to mention the system panel and Wish List!

The shop was easy enough to understand as well. It contained a dazzling array of items, from Soul Rings, Soul Bones, pills, and all kinds of tools, to Godhood.

Jun Lin did not rush to open the Beginner's Gift Pack. Instead, he looked at the little girl in blue, and a panel immediately appeared:

"System Introduction" "Name: Ah Yin" "Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor" "Cultivation: Level 12" "Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow" "Wish List: 1: As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformation Rebirth Spirit Beast, she hopes to cultivate safely until reaching maturity. 2: ... 3: ..."

"Blue Silver Emperor... Ah Yin..." Jun Lin muttered to himself.

"That's right, little friend. This is where you register and enroll."

Hearing Ah Yin's question, Director Su immediately answered.

"That's good. This is my Martial Soul certificate and proof that I'm a work-study student."

As she spoke, Ah Yin took out the documents from the bundle she was carrying and handed them to Director Su.

"Ah Yin must have obtained this Martial Soul certificate and work-study student placement from a village near Nuoding City, right?"

Nuoding City was not far from Blue Silver Forest, and Ah Yin, having already undergone Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformation Rebirth, would inevitably come to the human world.

"A work-study student? Little friend, let me see your Martial Soul certificate."

"Hiss! Another genius with Innate Full Soul Power?"

"Her Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass? Oh! Then it's nothing."

Director Su and the two young teachers beside him had initially stared wide-eyed in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

But once they saw that her Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, they understood. It was the same situation as Jun Lin's. Both had useless Martial Souls; otherwise, they would not have ended up at Nuoding Academy.

"Your name is Ah Yin, right? I'll register you now! You're a work-study student, so you'll stay in Dorm Seven... Oh, no, Dorm Seven is full. You can stay in Dorm One instead. It's a double room with better conditions, and Jun Lin happens to be staying in Dorm One too."

As he spoke, Director Su pointed at Jun Lin. According to academy rules, work-study students were originally all assigned to Dorm Seven.

Suddenly, Director Su seemed to think of something. He looked at Jun Lin, then, as if possessed, arranged for the two of them to live together.

"Hello, my name is Ah Yin. Yin as in Blue Silver Grass."

"Are you staying in Dorm One too?"

Ah Yin looked curiously at Jun Lin. Thinking about having to live with this little boy made her cheeks start to burn.

Jun Lin nodded at her words. "Hello, my name is Jun Lin."

"Ahem, I've registered you two."

"All right, Teacher Lin, get them two sets of school uniforms, then take them to Dorm One."

Director Su spoke to one of the young teachers beside him.

"Yes, Director."

The young man named Teacher Lin nodded, took two sets of school uniforms in Jun Lin and Ah Yin's sizes from a nearby cabinet, and handed them to the two of them.

"Follow me. I'll take you to Dorm One."

Jun Lin and Ah Yin then followed Teacher Lin toward Dorm One.

Watching the two leave the academic affairs office, the other young teacher spoke teasingly:

"Boss Su, you really are an old rascal. You even deliberately arranged for those two to live together. Do you really think we can't see what you're up to...?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost."

Faced with his underling's teasing, Director Su laughed and cursed, while sighing inwardly:

"Old classmate, there's not much I can do for your son. I just hope your little brat can seize this opportunity."

If Jun Lin had no connection to Director Su, or if Ah Yin's talent had not been good enough, Director Su naturally would not have meddled.

But since there was a connection, and Ah Yin's talent was good enough, Director Su naturally would lend a hand within his ability.

Before long, the three arrived at the entrance to Dorm One.

After bringing the two to Dorm One, Teacher Lin left.

"By the way, Ah Yin, did you bring bedding?"

At the entrance to Dorm One, Jun Lin looked at Ah Yin's thin bundle and asked.

"Ah! Doesn't the academy provide bedding?"

Ah Yin looked embarrassed, having never considered that.

"What are you thinking? Work-study students already enroll for free. Did you expect the academy to pay you on top of that?"

Jun Lin rolled his eyes. Catching Ah Yin's embarrassed expression, something stirred in his heart, and he said softly:

"My bedding is large enough. Later, we can push the beds together and make do with one set of bedding for now."

Ah Yin's face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

Jun Lin saw Ah Yin's hesitation and continued, "We're classmates. Helping each other is only natural. Besides, the weather is getting a little cold. I can't just let you freeze."

Ah Yin: "..."

"This is only a temporary measure, just to keep you from getting cold. Once you have bedding tomorrow, we'll sleep separately."

Ah Yin: "..."

After Jun Lin's shameless persuasion, Ah Yin finally nodded, extremely shyly.

Thus, the two began moving the beds and pushing them together. During the process, their hands occasionally brushed against each other, and every touch made Ah Yin's heart race.

At last, the beds were joined together. Jun Lin then took a new three-piece bedding set from his Storage Soul Tool.

A large pillow, a blue blanket, and a mattress pad, all covered in numerous patterns and brimming with a girlish style.

Of course, Jun Lin had not planned this in advance. Meeting Ah Yin at Nuoding Academy had been an unexpected delight. Though he was not some pervert obsessed with little girls, who could refuse having a soft, sweet-smelling girl in his arms at night?

They spread out the blanket and covered themselves with it. At first, Ah Yin was so nervous that her body was somewhat stiff, and she did not dare move around.

Jun Lin seemed to notice her nervousness as well. He tried his best to keep some distance, giving Ah Yin time to adjust.

As time passed, Ah Yin's nervousness gradually faded. She felt the warmth coming from Jun Lin's body, and an inexplicable sense of security rose in her heart.

Within that small space, they could clearly hear each other's breathing, and a strange atmosphere spread between them.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell across their faces. Ah Yin watched Jun Lin's peaceful sleeping face, and a different sort of feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
