Tang Wutong: Dad's Scent!

"Let's hurry, Yuhao. I hear our head teacher for Class One of the freshmen is not an easy person to deal with." After changing his clothes, Xiang Jun was the first to step out of the room, not forgetting to wave at Huo Yuhao.

"Ah? Oh, oh!" Huo Yuhao nodded instinctively. Remembering what he had just done, his cheeks burned uncontrollably.

Walking quietly down the path, Huo Yuhao cast his gaze at the figure ahead of him and couldn't help asking in confusion, "Senior, what exactly do you mean when you say our head teacher is not easy to deal with?"

"It means exactly what it sounds like, but we're going to have a good show to watch today!" Xiang Jun smiled mysteriously, leaving Huo Yuhao completely baffled.

A good show to watch?

What on earth did that mean?

Tang Wutong did not have Wang Dong's submissive and patient personality. If Zhou Yi still dared to use her so-called teaching method of a "one hundred percent promotion rate," she would probably have to take a few heavy-hitting blows from the Clear Sky Hammer...

Meanwhile, inside the Class One freshman classroom, a petite girl with sweet and cute features was resting her head on her desk in utter boredom, looking around listlessly.

"Seriously, there isn't even a single handsome guy in such a huge freshman class... How pathetic!"

As a seasoned appearance enthusiast, nothing was more agonizing than being surrounded by a lack of good-looking guys.

Tang Wutong had arrived at the classroom early, but upon failing to spot Xiang Jun's figure, she immediately put on that haughty expression of hers, acting as if everyone else beneath her notice.

"That girl is so pretty! And her eyes are actually powder-blue! I, Fei Yangyang, declare that from now on she is my dream goddess!"

"Oh, give it up. I saw her sitting and eating with a blue-haired handsome guy two days ago; she's probably taken already."

"No!!!"

Tang Wutong crossed her arms over her chest and sat quietly in her seat, acting as if she were oblivious to the discussions around her.

Hmph, a bunch of mere mortals, only Xiang Jun is barely worthy of catching this princess's eye! Tang Wutong sneered inwardly, her gaze toward the people around her full of arrogance.

At the same time, Xiang Jun's figure quietly appeared at the classroom door.

As Xiang Jun's figure was exposed to everyone's view, the previously noisy classroom instantly became incomparably quiet.

For no other reason, his tall and upright stature, combined with outstanding looks akin to a god descending to earth, directly captured everyone's attention.

Even Tang Wutong's eyes lit up. Even wearing a school uniform, it couldn't hide a face several times more handsome than her own old man's.

Unobtrusively shifting her petite body a few inches, Tang Wutong exposed the empty seat beside her.

Meanwhile, the little loli behind Tang Wutong already had her gaze firmly welded onto Xiang Jun.

So tall! So handsome! I bet he could pick me up...

A shameful thought emerged involuntarily in the little loli's mind, causing her normally sweet and cute face to instantly turn blushing red.

"Tch, what's the use of being handsome? In our Star Luo Empire, what people value above all else is strength..."

Not far from Xiang Jun, a cat-eared girl with exaggeratedly voluptuous pectoral muscles was muttering something softly, but her gaze never wavered from Xiang Jun's face.

This action made the blonde boy beside her feel as agonizingly uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Ignoring the petty antics of the crowd in the classroom, Xiang Jun led Huo Yuhao quietly toward the back of the room.

Because they arrived rather late, only two empty seats remained at the very back of the classroom: one next to Tang Wutong, and one next to the little loli behind her.

As for the seats at the front of the classroom, Xiang Jun hadn't even considered them.

After all, the closer one was to the podium, the further one was from a happy life.

Looking at Tang Wutong with her eyes full of warning, Huo Yuhao couldn't help recalling everything that had happened in the cafeteria that day, and his petite body began to shiver.

On that very day, Huo Yuhao felt as though he had seen his late mom...

"Hmph, you know what's good for you!" Seeing Huo Yuhao obediently walking toward the back, Tang Wutong let out a smug, dainty huff.

She remembered clearly that it was this scrawny fellow who had actually dared to eat braised Soft Bone Rabbit right in front of this princess!

Eating it was one thing, but he had even stared straight at her!

That expression was practically saying, Your mom is really delicious...

"What are you standing there for? Get in here already, it's not like this princess is going to eat you!"

Looking at the hesitant-looking Xiang Jun before her, Tang Wutong seemed to think of something. A teasing smile immediately bloomed across her pretty face as she bantered, "You... don't tell me you're scared?"

Me? Scared? You've got to be kidding!

I, Xiang, am super brave, thank you very much!

"Move your legs aside, then, or how am I supposed to get in?"

"Ah? Oh, oh!" Tang Wutong's face flushed as she obediently pulled her legs away.

Strange... what is wrong with me?

If anyone else had dared to scold her so sharply, they would have already earned a warning for a path to certain death.

Yet coming from Xiang Jun's mouth, Tang Wutong found that not only was she not angry, but a strange, inexplicable feeling had arisen in her heart.

Banishing the bizarre thoughts from her mind and watching the figure pass in front of her, Tang Wutong took a deep breath on pure impulse.

Sniff, sniff, sniff!

Wait, this is... Dad's scent?!

That familiar yet unfamiliar aura stunned Tang Wutong's expression, involuntarily bringing to mind her Sea God father...

Ignoring the strangely expressionless Tang Wutong, Xiang Jun sat by the window, a flicker of satisfaction flashing deep within his eyes.

Ah, the back row by the window—the homeland of kings!

"Hey, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Just as Xiang Jun was quietly appreciating the scenery outside the window, a crisp voice suddenly rang out. Turning his head, he saw Tang Wutong staring at him with a face full of anticipation.

"Say what? That you openly stole my food? Or that you attempted a midnight raid on the boys' dormitory?" Xiang Jun frowned, his tone helpless.

As soon as those words came out, even Huo Yuhao behind Xiang Jun nodded in deep agreement.

Just three nights ago, Tang Wutong had lost her mind and attempted to break into the boys' dorm by force...

After being intercepted by a righteous old man, the unrepentant Tang Wutong had actually gone to the backyard of the dorms and precisely locked onto room 108 among dozens of rooms...

At the mention of that night, Tang Wutong's face instantly turned burning red, and she lowered her head to mumble, "I... I... that night I just wanted to check on you..."

Seeing Tang Wutong's somewhat guilty look, a flash of wariness instantly rose in the depths of Xiang Jun's eyes.

You want to check on me? Don't tell me your dad wants to check on me!

"Silence!"

Just at that moment, the classroom door was shoved open roughly, followed instantly by an aged voice imbued with Soul Power that caused everyone inside the classroom to perk up sharply.

Gazing toward the podium, they saw an exceptionally stern-looking elderly woman appear out of nowhere in the center of the platform.

The head teacher of Freshman Class One—Zhou Yi!

Zhou Yi's gaze swept coldly over the crowd, lingering only briefly on Xiang Jun.
