I Never Thought You Were This Kind of Person

That night, cool, clear moonlight spilled over the vast, boundless Dark Forest. Its silvery radiance lent the forest a measure of peace and tranquility.

Crude tents stood scattered across the soft grass. Worn out after a day of exertion, the students either talked quietly or meditated in silence. Han Shuo hid furtively behind a towering tree, chanting a spell.

A flash of light appeared in midair, and Little Skeleton abruptly materialized with the Bone Blade in hand. At Han Shuo's direction, he darted silently toward Clark's tent.

Clark's tent stood some distance from the students'. Although he seemed humble and courteous on the surface, his warmth and sincerity were reserved for Fanny. There was a faint, lofty disdain in the way he looked at the other students, and he had set his tent well apart from everyone else.

Little Skeleton was now agile, his pitch-black bones blending into the darkness. He moved without the slightest sound and reached Clark's tent within a few dozen seconds. At a command from Han Shuo, Little Skeleton suddenly rushed inside.

A muffled cry of pain rang out, and Clark's tent collapsed with a crash. Little Skeleton shot out and fled swiftly to the southwest.

After that cry of pain, Clark burst out of the tent, disheveled and furious. Holding his longsword, he glanced around, roared in anger, and raced after Little Skeleton, muttering curses all the while.

It worked! Han Shuo laughed inwardly.

Darting swiftly through the secluded shadows beneath the trees, Han Shuo followed close behind Clark with a low, wicked chuckle, heading in the direction Clark was running.

To the southwest lay a broad pool surrounded by strangely twisted trees. Under the bright moonlight, its clear waters gleamed silver.

Splashing mingled with bursts of feminine laughter, constantly rising from the pool and bringing a little life to its stillness.

"Lisa, have you started developing? Your breasts seem to have begun changing lately."

"Hehe, Teacher Fanny, let me tell you something. Swimming can actually make your breasts bigger. I only discovered that secret after trying it myself."

"Really?" Fanny exclaimed, then broke into a laugh. "No wonder! I was wondering why you suddenly became so fond of swimming lately. So that's why. Hehe, we'll have to swim a little longer today."

"Teacher Fanny, your breasts are already so full and firm. Do you still care about that?"

"Hehe, of course. No woman wouldn't care about something like that."

"Oh, I see. Hehe, besides swimming, drinking milk and massaging them while bathing can also make your breasts fuller and firmer. I know from experience! I've been doing all that lately, and I really have noticed a change in my breasts. You could try it too, Teacher Fanny."

"Oh, Lisa, you seem to know quite a lot now. Still, your breasts really have changed lately. It looks as though those methods of yours really do work."

"Of course they do! Hehe, you can't go wrong listening to me," Lisa told Fanny with a smug little laugh.

Just then, the thud of footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance. Fanny and Lisa exchanged a glance, and Fanny frowned, asking softly, "What's that sound?"

Crouched in the water with only her head showing, Lisa looked just as puzzled. She shook her head. "I don't know. I found this place while gathering firewood today. No one else should know about it."

Somewhat startled, Fanny and Lisa were about to leave when the footsteps drew closer and closer. Then Clark suddenly appeared at the edge of the pool, drenched in sweat, looking this way and that as he searched the surroundings.

When Clark spotted Fanny and Lisa in the pool, all three cried out at once. Furious and flustered, Lisa hurriedly hid her body beneath the water and pointed at Clark in a panic. "Damn you! You're supposed to be a noble knight, yet you do something like this-peeping on us! You're disgusting!"

"No, it isn't what you think! I was chasing a monster, and that's how I ended up here," Clark hurriedly protested in great distress.

"Leave at once! Clark, you've disappointed me terribly. I never thought you were this kind of person!" Fanny snapped coldly, her lovely face frosty with anger.

"Teacher Fanny, I really didn't come here to peep. Please, let me explain." Sweat covered Clark's forehead. He had never expected to find Fanny and Lisa swimming here either. Feeling that something was amiss, he kept trying to explain.

"Leave! Now!" Fanny and Lisa cried out, rebuking him together as he tried to explain.

With a helpless, bitter smile, Clark sighed and bowed slightly to the two women from where he stood. "I'm sorry, both of you. I'll leave right away. I hope you won't think so badly of me. I truly didn't mean to."

With that, Clark left looking miserable and dejected, issuing a stream of complaints and sighing over his terrible luck.

After Clark left, Han Shuo's furtive figure emerged from the shade. He raised his middle finger at Clark in the distance and whispered with a wicked grin, "Trying to steal my woman? Go to hell, noble knight!"

"So even a noble knight has such disgusting tastes," Lisa said with a contemptuous snort, still seething.

"Men are all the same. Noble knights are like this, and so are lowly errand boys. Some simply know how to hide it, while others don't," Fanny said with a soft snort of her own.

"An errand boy? Teacher Fanny, you don't mean Brian, do you?" Lisa froze, then seemed to think of something and gave Fanny a strange look.

"Uh... no, no. I was just making an observation, that's all. Hehe, don't let your imagination run wild, Lisa." Realizing she had let something slip, Fanny was startled by Lisa's question and hastily tried to cover it with an awkward laugh.

Even after hearing her explanation, however, Lisa still looked doubtful. She eyed Fanny strangely and muttered, "Could she really mean Brian?"

Hidden in the shade, Han Shuo was leering at the two women. Their words left him feeling bitter, but before he could dwell on it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he froze like a fool.

Fanny was gradually walking toward the edge of the pool, slowly revealing the naked body hidden beneath its waters. Bright moonlight fell over her flawless figure. Glistening droplets on her fair skin looked like tumbling jewels in the moonlight, sliding gently over her satin-smooth body.

Her upper body, revealed beneath the moonlight, was so beautiful that it dazzled Han Shuo. Her breasts were full and firm, their rosy tips a mesmerizing red. Her smooth belly was taut, without a trace of excess fat, and her slender arms were as tender and pale as snow-white lotus roots. Her wet, pale-purple hair lay in disarray across her smooth shoulders, filling her with a soul-stealing beauty.

From her lower belly down, her body remained submerged, but the clear, moonlit water still allowed Han Shuo to see her lovely, pale legs.

This was the first time Han Shuo had ever seen a naked woman with his own eyes, and she was an exceptionally beautiful one at that. With water trickling over her beneath the moonlight, Fanny's ethereal beauty and perfect figure left him completely transfixed. For a time, he sank into a half-stunned daze.

A strange sound suddenly reached Han Shuo's ears. As he stared foolishly at the beauty emerging from the water, it jolted him awake, and he began looking around.

A panicked scream instantly burst from Lisa's mouth. Still in the deeper part of the pool, she pointed behind her in terror and shrieked, "T-Teacher Fanny! A Deepwater Venom Python!"

Fanny froze, then turned her head and saw a massive python swimming rapidly toward them from the far side of the pool. It was five or six meters long, green all over, with spikes along its back. A savage, merciless light gleamed in its dark-green eyes, and dark-green mist spewed from its fang-filled jaws as it swiftly approached Lisa.

"Swim, Lisa! Hurry, swim!" Fanny's expression changed abruptly, and she screamed in panic.

But Lisa seemed scared out of her wits. She had been swimming quickly through the pool, yet after the Deepwater Venom Python appeared, she actually slowed considerably, despite thrashing wildly with both arms and legs.

"Teacher Fanny... please, save me!" Lisa sobbed, screaming in terror and flailing her limbs as she tried to swim to shore faster. Unfortunately, the Deepwater Venom Python was drawing closer and closer.

"Damn it, where has Clark gone now?!" Fanny cursed, heedless of her composure, and turned her perfect figure back toward Lisa.

By now, Han Shuo had fully snapped out of his daze. Watching the Deepwater Venom Python draw steadily closer to the two women, he hesitated briefly, then finally dashed out of the shadows and shouted, "What's going on? Huh, a Deepwater Venom Python! I'll help you!"

The Deepwater Venom Python was a rank-three magical beast. Not only did its body possess tremendous offensive power, but it could also spit poisonous mist. Now that it was in the water, both its speed and the danger it posed were greatly increased.

The entire group had needed every ounce of strength to kill a single rank-four Frost Flying Eagle. This rank-three Deepwater Venom Python would certainly be even harder to handle. Even Han Shuo had no confidence whatsoever, but he could not stand by and watch Fanny get eaten. He could only charge out and risk his life.

"Damn it, here goes!" Han Shuo drew a dagger, his body moving like lightning. In a flash through the darkness, he shot straight toward the pool.
