Shui Qingyue: "Did you rob the royal treasury?"

After a long while, the two gradually separated.

Lin En gazed at the beauty in his arms, his breathing quickening, and whispered in her ear:

"How about coming to my place tonight?"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed, immediately broke free from his clutches, and said coquettishly:

"No way... Um... I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow!"

After saying that, she strained her long legs and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Lin En licked her lips, a hint of regret in her eyes.

"Forget it, let's take it slow. You can't rush these things. Just let nature take its course!"

Lin En looked away, thinking to himself.

He glanced at the approaching dusk, his face listless. "What to do now?" he asked.

Lin En for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"It's been so long since I've seen Dean Shui, I feel so lonely!"

Lin En felt a pang of sadness; so much time had passed, and he had never seen Shui Qingyue come to see him even once.

Fine, if she won't come looking for me, then I'll go looking for her myself!

Thinking of this, Lin En casually plucked a Blue Silver Grass from the garden, put his hands behind his head, and swayed away into the distance.

Inside the dean's office.

Shui Qingyue looked at the files on the table and frowned, feeling a headache coming on.

"Knock knock knock"

There was a sudden knock on the door. Shui Qingyue frowned slightly. "Who could it be so late?"

She stood up, went to the door, and opened it.

"Dean Shui, good evening!"

Lin En smiled brightly, then without any hesitation, squeezed past Shui Qingyue's voluptuous figure and walked straight inside.

Shui Qingyue's lips twitched, and she said irritably, "You really have no manners at all..."

"What do you want from me so late?"

Shui Qingyue closed the door, then drew the curtains by the window, turned around and said to Lin En.

Lin En sat on the sofa, suddenly crossed her arms over her chest, and said with a terrified expression:

"Dean Shui, you wouldn't be thinking of taking advantage of the darkness to do something indecent to me, would you?"

"I can scream..."

Shui Qingyue's face darkened, and she glared angrily at Lin En, "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Lin En looked at the closed door with feigned suspicion, then at the drawn curtains, just like a scene from a classic locked-room mystery.

Dean and student... Exciting!!!

"Isn't that obvious enough?"

"I never imagined the dean was this kind of person! Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I might have considered going with you!"

Lin En grinned, his gaze sweeping over the voluptuous figure as he spoke teasingly.

"Get lost!"

Shui Qingyue was so angry that her teeth itched. She lowered her head and covered her face, looking like she had a headache.

Damn it, why did I ever bring in a demon orb?

"Let's get down to business. What exactly do you want from me?"

Shui Qingyue composed herself, sat down opposite Lin En on the sofa, and spoke calmly.

She knew Lin En's personality; she was the type who wouldn't come unless she needed something.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Lin En shrugged innocently, then sprawled out on the sofa, saying lazily:

"I thought the dean would like my humor! Can't you just have a heart-to-heart talk with the dean about life? It can help relieve your loneliness!"

Shui Qingyue remained expressionless and coldly said:

"Do you think you're funny? If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for throwing you out!"

"Ahem... Just kidding, Dean Shui, this is for you!"

Lin En coughed twice, sat up straight, and with a serious expression placed a brocade box on the table and pushed it in front of her.

Upon seeing that it was another brocade box, Shui Qingyue paused for a moment, then said jokingly:

"I heard about what happened today. You gave each member of the Skywater Team a thousand-year-old spiritual herb. You're really generous."

"What I'm more curious about is, did you rob the royal treasury?"

Lin En smiled brightly, "Not that little..."

"Forget it, I don't need this. You should give it to someone else!"

Shui Qingyue shook her head. With her cultivation level, no amount of spiritual medicine would be of any use.

"Dean Shui, don't be so quick to refuse, let's open it and take a look?"

Lin En smiled slightly, his smile mysterious, and said, "This one is a little different from the ones I give to others..."

Shui Qingyue hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist her curiosity and opened the brocade box.

Inside the brocade box, there were no medicinal herbs, but instead, a piece of ice crystal jade bone that emitted a cold, eerie blue light.

"This is?"

Shui Qingyue placed her hands on the box and said with a surprised expression.

"A dragon bone containing the Ultimate Ice!"

"Although it's not Soul Bone, it's even more powerful than a typical Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. I think this dragon bone would be perfect for you!"

Lin En's lips curled up, her smile radiant.

However, upon seeing the dragon bone containing the Ultimate Ice, Shui Qingyue stared at him without moving her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"You really robbed the royal treasury?"

"How could that be? With my abilities, how could I possibly do that?" Lin En waved his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Then where did you get this thing?"

Shui Qingyue pointed to the dragon bones on the table and asked calmly.

Lin En leaned close to her mysteriously and whispered in her ear:

"I robbed a Titled Douluo was away on campaign of his private stash, and his stash was really valuable!"

"Titled Douluo?!"

Shui Qingyue's eyes widened, her forehead covered in black lines.

"You've got some nerve! You dare touch something belonging to Titled Douluo? Aren't you afraid he'll come knocking on your door demanding an explanation?"

Lin En looked completely innocent. "I didn't know beforehand, Dean, you absolutely have to protect me!"

He grabbed Shui Qingyue's long, white legs and gently rubbed his face against her calves.

Shui Qingyue wore a dark blue cheongsam, her long, white legs exposed to the air, while Lin En embraced her.

Seemingly aggrieved, but actually enjoying it!

"What if that Titled Douluo has some kind of pica? If he were to do something to me, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Get up! I never said I wouldn't protect you!

Shui Qingyue sighed softly. It seemed she had been too happy too soon, thinking this was Lin En's own good fortune.

It seems there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Thank you, Dean Shui. I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to our college, working tirelessly until my dying breath..."

Lin En was deeply moved, and tears almost welled up in her eyes!

Inner monologue: (Damn it, I forgot to bring some onions)

"If that Titled Douluo comes looking for me, I'll figure out how to deal with him. You should take this back!"

Shui Qingyue calmly pushed the dragon bone back.

"Dean, please accept it. If you really don't like it, just throw it in the trash. It's useless to me!"

Lin En waved his hand dismissively.

He thought to himself, "It seems it's time to have Dugu Bo make a cameo appearance as an NPC; being an honorary guest elder of the Skywater Academy would be a good idea!"
