The "New Teacher"

It was as though the person before his eyes was not Huo Gua at all, but rather a soft, well-behaved maid girl with a sweet temperament...

Just what would Huo Gua look like wearing a maid outfit?

Small, so it should be very cute...

Xiang Jun thought fiercely in his mind, unable to help fantasizing about what Huo Gua would look like dressed in a maid outfit.

Huo Yuhao, who was patiently waiting nearby, suddenly felt a wave of intense malice wash over him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

A full day had already passed since Zhou Yi was beaten to a pulp, and the students in Class One, Freshmen were excitedly discussing who the new head teacher would be.

Tang Wutong feigned a casual demeanor, secretly sizing up the figure beside her out of the corner of her eye.

Tch, he's actually quite good-looking, even more handsome than Dad...

For some reason, ever since yesterday's spar, Tang Wutong always subconsciously compared Xiang Jun with her God King dad.

Yet she was terrified to discover that her dad did not seem to be omnipotent, for at least at Xiang Jun's age, he would have been utterly thrashed...

Thinking of this, Tang Wutong nonchalantly shifted her seat to close the distance between herself and Xiang Jun just a bit more.

"If you get any closer, your whole body's basically going to be pressed against me. What on earth are you trying to do?" Sensing the little maneuvers of the pretty figure beside him, Xiang Jun said in a helpless tone.

Seeing that her little trick had been discovered, Tang Wutong's pretty face instantly flushed red.

It's not like it's my fault when your scent smells so good!

Yet she certainly could not tell Xiang Jun this reason, or else there was no telling if he would take her for some pervert with weird fetishes.

"I-I-I... I just wanted to be a bit closer to the window, don't you go overthinking things!" Despite saying that, Tang Wutong was clearly feeling a bit guilty and did not dare meet Xiang Jun's eyes.

Tch! Saying one thing while thinking another!

This Tang Wutong really is useless!

Xiang Jun's expression of I've already seen right through you, but I'm just not going to say it made Tang Wutong wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just as she was about to completely lose her composure, the sound of a door opening quietly rang out, easing the awkwardness in Tang Wutong's heart.

Hmph! This guy Xiang Jun is simply too detestable; he clearly knows the truth yet still wants to make a laughingstock out of this princess!

Turning her head to cast her gaze beside her, Tang Wutong wore such an immensely aggrieved expression that she looked just like a little pampered wife who had been ruthlessly abandoned, making Xiang Jun's scalp tingle slightly.

The sound instantly drew everyone's gaze, and the crowd looked toward the classroom door in unison, only to see a slender figure come into view.

"Wah, what a pretty big sister!"

"More than just pretty, this aura is simply stunning!"

"She looks like she should be an upperclassman from our academy, right?"

The moment the figure appeared, exclamations rose and fell within the classroom, and even Xiang Jun was no exception.

The newcomer possessed a head of smooth, warm-golden long hair, fair skin, and delicate, gentle facial features. In every glance and smile, she carried both the alluring charm of a mature, beautiful woman and a hint of girl-like purity.

A minimalist yellow robe outlined her perfectly proportioned figure to the utmost, a full yet not exaggerated physique that caused the female students in the class to feel a pang of envy.

Seeing Xiang Jun staring fixedly, Tang Wutong pouted in dissatisfaction and said with a sour tone, "Tch, what's so great about being big, they're practically too heavy to carry..."

Calmly retracting his gaze, Xiang Jun could not help teasing, "What, are you jealous?"

With that, he did not forget to glance down at Tang Wutong's barely budding chest.

"What are you talking about, what does this princess have to be jealous of!" Although she said that with her mouth, Tang Wutong still subconsciously hunched over.

Watching Tang Wutong's rare display of shyness, Xiang Jun's mischievous streak flared up, and he tilted slightly toward her.

"It's fine, small is cute too!"

Feeling the heat radiating near her ear, Tang Wutong felt her whole body go limp, her head even growing dizzy.

Wait, what did he mean by that?

Could he be trying to take the opportunity to confess to this princess?

Self-brainwashing is especially lethal.

Thanks to the Sea God Martial Soul, Tang Wutong always harbored a strange emotion toward Xiang Jun—not ordinary romantic affection, but rather the feeling of having been lonely for years only to suddenly find one's own kind.

That feeling had only grown stronger upon seeing the Seagod's Trident.

If anyone else had dared treat Tang Wutong with such flippancy, what would greet them might not be blushed earlobes, but rather a small hammer capable of curing insomnia...

Watching the two chatting and laughing ahead of him, Huo Yuhao behind Xiang Jun suddenly felt an empty void in his heart, and even the joy of breaking through in his cultivation last night vanished without a trace.

"Hello there, classmates~ My name is Han Ruoruo, and I am the head teacher of Class One, Freshmen, as well as everyone's senior sister, oh!"

A gentle voice interrupted the banter between Xiang Jun and Tang Wutong, while also drawing everyone's attention.

Han Ruoruo?

It was actually her!

Xiang Jun raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit surprised in his heart.

As the Inner Court's most senior student, Han Ruoruo was practically the epitome of gentleness and intelligence. To anyone, she presented the image of a sympathetic elder sister, making people naturally feel close to her.

If Yan Shaozhe had sent over another self-righteous head teacher like Zhou Yi, then he would have to seriously consider whether to leave Shrek Academy and announce taking his talent to the South Coast to join Star Luo National Academy...

And then capture not just one, not just two... but five, six, seven All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament trophies.

Although Han Ruoruo's appearance won over the favor of most of the male students in the class, the remaining female students harbored doubts about her competence.

After all, her appearance was far too young, looking at most like she was in her early twenties.

Noticing the scrutinizing gazes of the students, Han Ruoruo raised her delicate eyebrows, and a terrifying wave of Soul Power surged out of thin air, pressing down heavily on everyone's hearts.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!

A Soul Sage!

Especially those seven Spirit Rings representing her cultivation realm caused everyone's hearts to shake.

Han Ruoruo took in everyone's expressions, and seeing that she had achieved her desired expectation, she withdrew her Soul Power.

"Please take good care of me for the time being, everyone, though rather than a teacher, I actually prefer for everyone to call me Sister Ruoruo!"

With that, Han Ruoruo did not forget to playfully blink at the crowd, directly mesmerizing the male students below into a daze.

"Since today is the first day we are meeting, everyone can start by introducing yourselves, beginning with this classmate right here." Han Ruoruo clapped her hands and turned to nod approvingly at the boy in the very front.

The boy was clearly somewhat nervous, but upon seeing Han Ruoruo's encouraging gaze, he still mustered the courage to stand up: "My name is Shen Zhaozhao, my Martial Soul is the Ruyi Disk, a rank-19 Auxiliary-system Soul Master."
