In the following days, Ke Ke and Bai Xiuxiu got along very well, although most of the time Bai Xiuxiu was intently watching Ke Ke's experiments.
She rarely disturbed her, but if she encountered something she didn't understand, she would still ask Ke Ke for help, and Ke Ke would explain these points to her without reservation.
"So these are Soul Tool, and they even have different levels. The higher the level, the higher the damage." Bai Xiuxiu pondered carefully, finally sighing and muttering, "No wonder humans are becoming more and more powerful."
After all, Soul Beast only know how to devour each other to increase their cultivation years; they have never thought of creating or inventing these things.
Bai Xiuxiu even learned from their conversation that humanity is actually not very satisfied with the current Soul Tool.
Their thirst for knowledge, as deep as an abyss, also required the development of vast resources on the continent to propel the advancement of these Soul Tool.
Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, the living space for all Soul Beast will shrink significantly.
When class ended, Bai Xiuxiu got up and left the classroom.
She originally wanted to talk to Cao Yu, but the senior student named Ju Zi pulled Cao Yu away early on.
"It seems that even if I become human, it's still so difficult to make friends with him." Bai Xiuxiu chuckled self-deprecatingly, recalling the scene of their first meeting in Linhai.
When I saw him run away in fright, it was quite funny.
Back in his dorm, Cao Yu was naturally not idle either; he felt that Bai Xiuxiu a bit strange today.
After all, the way she looked at him was as if she were seeing an old friend.
"But I've never seen her before." Cao Yu thought about it carefully and was quite certain of this.
He then stopped thinking about it and put the question out of his mind.
It's lunchtime now, but this time Ice Empress ordered several vegetarian dishes, while only one meager meat dish.
Cao Yu strolled over casually and joked, "Hey, you ordered so little food, are you on a diet?"
"Mind your own business." Ice Empress rolled her eyes at him, then looked at her own figure. She believed that as long as she kept at it, she would definitely be able to lose weight.
In truth, only Cao Yu truly understood that Ice Empress hadn't gained much weight; on the contrary, he was just the right amount.
She has gained a more mature and sophisticated charm.
"Do you want some?" This time she asked, but she didn't push the food towards her.
Cao Yu knew this was just her being polite. He took a few symbolic bites before offering his opinion, "You're really willing to sacrifice so much for weight loss! What a waste of so many delicious foods!"
At that moment, he suddenly made a decision: in order to strengthen Ice Empress's will to lose weight, he would eat lunch and dinner in his dormitory from now on.
And they specifically choose to pack up meat dishes to take home.
I'll make her drool, hehe!
"What are you laughing at?" Ice Empress had a feeling that he was up to no good, after all, his nominal master was often acting like a jerk.
Even that Immoral Dog had a bad reputation for him.
I remember what that Immoral Dog once said to her, "I always feel like my owner is even more scoundrel than me, but I hope it's just my imagination."
Looking into Ice Empress's eyes, Cao Yu couldn't hide his amusement, but he still forced a shake of his head. "Nothing to laugh about. Take your time eating. I wish you success in your weight loss journey. Go Ice Empress, I'm rooting for you!"
Ice Empress crossed her long, fair legs, wearing shorts, her pinkish-white feet looking rather alluring. She continued eating the food in front of her, deciding to ignore Cao Yu and focus on filling her stomach first.
Embarrassed, Cao Yu looked away and began to plan his next move.
The afternoon classes went fairly smoothly, and Xuan Ziwen didn't assign any other tasks to everyone. However, the Bai Xiuxiu often came to him to ask him questions.
"Senior Cao Yu, do you think this is right?"
"That's right, but the carving knife needs to be slightly to the left before lifting it upwards, otherwise the trajectory will deviate, and the magic circle's effect won't be good."
But he could only teach in a serious manner, since Ju Zi was watching him closely. How could he dare to teach her hand-in-hand? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
" Zi Mu, I've never understood why Xiuxiu only asks those three questions?"
"I can understand her looking for Ju Zi and Ke Ke, but she's also looking for Cao Yu, but she hasn't been looking for the two of us. What does that mean?"
Zi Mu glanced at him speechlessly and said, "I suggest you look in the mirror. Maybe you're too dark and scared her."
After a moment of silence, he quietly took out a mirror from his pocket and looked at himself. Only the wall and his teeth were white.
Wang Shaojie said in a deep voice, "Fine, I can barely accept your reason, but what about you? You're not black, so how do you explain that?"
"It's okay, it doesn't matter whether she comes or not. You know who I like."
"But Ju Zi doesn't like you. Obviously, she prefers that bastard surnamed Cao, doesn't she?"
"Get out!" Zi Mu shouted angrily and then ignored him.
Wang Shaojie could only mutter to himself, "Ugh, so boring. Xiuxiu, why aren't you asking me any questions yet?"
However, a whole day passed, Bai Xiuxiu still hadn't come to ask him a single question. At this point, he gave up hope. After all, he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket, could he?
Moreover, he was a nobleman of the Sun Moon Empire, with a whole forest waiting for him in the future. How could he let the confusion in front of him stop him in his tracks?
That evening, Cao Yu still went to Ju Zi's dormitory. Lying on the bed, the two looked at each other.
"I have a feeling that Xiuxiu, the junior, has a good impression of you?" Ju Zi looked at him sideways, this was the conclusion she had drawn from her observations today.
On this day, Bai Xiuxiu asked more than a dozen questions, but Cao Yu answered most of them.
She even suspected that she and Ke Ke were Bai Xiuxiu deliberately used to make up the numbers.
Cao Yu firmly stated, "Impossible, you're just imagining things."
"An illusion? After all, it's not impossible for someone with such a beautiful face like you to have such an illusion, is it?"
"Stop talking, it's getting dark, let's go to sleep."
He covered her eyes with his hand and then gently kissed her.
"Um!"
Before long, the Ju Zi began to respond.
In the core basement of the Mingde Hall, a golden iron giant stands in the center of the platform.
Even students who are allowed into the Mingde Hall don't usually come to this place.
After all, only high-ranking soul instructors from the Mingde Hall are qualified to enter.
Hall Master Jing Hongchen looked at the giant before him, while everyone else watched his back.
Then he slowly said, "How is the first experiment going?"
Dean of Students Lin Jiayi stepped forward and said, "We've only completed half of it; the remaining materials are needed in far too large quantities."
"Sigh... I'll try to get them to provide the missing materials. You guys also need to speed up the project, otherwise the royal family will start pressuring us again."
"Understood, Master."
