Xiao Fan jumped for joy!
Today had brought a huge improvement!
In the days ahead, all he had to do was sleep soundly and wait for the system to finish cultivating the other two martial arts automatically.
But he couldn't wait to try out the power of the Demon Man Scripture!
Xiao Fan cleared his throat and said, "Xianhuo, you want to get into the Super God Class too, right?"
"Of course." Lin Xianhuo lifted her head proudly.
But Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "With your current combat strength, it'll probably be hard. How about I give you special training starting tomorrow?"
"Hmph!" Lin Xianhuo was a little indignant, but she couldn't beat Xiao Fan, so in the end she could only give a soft huff and nod. "All right."
Xiao Fan grinned. Tomorrow, he'd use Xianhuo to try out his new martial art!
He couldn't wait!
Suddenly, he asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time.
"Xianhuo, you cultivate a god-grade martial art and have a god-grade talent. Your weapon should be a divine artifact too, so why... haven't I felt that overwhelming suppressive power?"
"I mean, I haven't felt that you're all that strong!"
Lin Xianhuo rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking, Fanfan? Just because I have a god-grade martial art doesn't mean I've learned it!"
"With my Fire God Heaven-Chaos Saber, I haven't even reached the proficient level with the third move yet!"
"And that martial art has thirteen moves in total!"
Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. "Can't learn it? Or... can't master it?"
Lin Xianhuo curled her lip. "There aren't any special restrictions. It's simply because I haven't worked hard enough. But I'll work very hard this semester and try to master the third move!"
Xiao Fan sighed. "What a waste of heaven's gifts!"
Beside them, Shao Yan covered her mouth and chuckled. "Xiao Fan's always thinking how nice it would be if he had all the best things you've been given."
Lin Xianhuo pouted, unwilling to pay either of them any attention!
Late that night, with two women and one man together, the women didn't start fighting as Xiao Fan had imagined, much less blow up the house.
The three drank and chatted, and everything felt so warm and cozy.
They all deliberately avoided the subject of their feelings for one another, though.
During his phone call with He Yao, Xiao Fan had made it clear that both women liked him.
But neither woman had explained herself, and Xiao Fan hadn't brought it up again.
Xiao Fan thought this wasn't the time to dwell on such things. Xianhuo was wonderful, and so was Shao Yan!
But Little Dingdong was still waiting for him in the Super God Class!
He absolutely couldn't afford to slack off!
Xiao Fan still hadn't gotten his hands on the martial arts from the city lord's residence, the school's scripture pavilion, or the Liu Family.
Besides, Xiao Fan planned to go on another shopping spree tomorrow. He hadn't bought many of the first-, second-, or even third-tier martial arts before, because they weren't very useful. Now that he had this fusion mechanism, he'd see if he could make another round of improvements!
And the best thing about the fusion mechanism was that he could directly fuse those low-tier martial arts into the Demon Man Scripture or All-Round Enhancement, incorporating their effects directly!
Once he reached the required number, they would naturally advance!
The feeling of turning complexity into simplicity made Xiao Fan feel utterly refreshed!
They didn't have to go to school tomorrow, and everyone grew more intoxicated as they drank that night.
With the alcohol giving her courage, Shao Yan began to show off her moves!
"Oh, it's so hot..." Shao Yan shifted her body, then took off the white shirt she was wearing on the outside, revealing her fair, rosy skin.
Martial artists' skin was remarkably clear and luminous. One glance was enough to make Xiao Fan's heart race.
Then Shao Yan suddenly pressed a hand to her forehead and murmured, "I'm a little dizzy."
With that, she swayed and leaned against Xiao Fan's shoulder, her soft cheek rubbing against his neck like an affectionate kitten.
Her long, straight black hair gave off a fragrance, and the woman with the scorching figure was now firing on all cylinders!
Beside them, Lin Xianhuo sat with her legs crossed, guzzling beer and gazing at the stars with a deliberately solemn air.
Only after she'd finished half a bottle did she sense that something was off. She whipped her head around, and her pupils abruptly contracted!
"Big cow! You have no martial virtue!"
Furious, Lin Xianhuo stepped forward to grab Shao Yan by the hair. Shao Yan clung to Xiao Fan, looking aggrieved as she whined, "Fanfan, protect me~"
"You're really good at this!" Lin Xianhuo's eyes widened. She wanted to strike, but didn't know where to begin.
"Xiao Fan, get away from her!"
Lin Xianhuo pouted, her face full of resentment.
But Xiao Fan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm not touching her. She's the one holding me. Look, she's hanging off me like a pendant. What can I do?"
"Heh, helpless? You look like you're enjoying yourself!" Lin Xianhuo angrily turned to leave. "Don't even think about sleeping with me tonight!"
Xiao Fan shrugged. He didn't care whether she slept with him or not!
Lin Xianhuo stomped away, but when she saw that Xiao Fan hadn't even turned around to ask her to stay, rage surged into her heart, and she paced back and forth in the living room!
No, no!
I absolutely can't let that shameless big cow Shao Yan have her way!
Suddenly, Lin Xianhuo looked toward the clean, white bathroom. Her eyebrows rose, and she smiled knowingly!
On the balcony, Xiao Fan looked at Shao Yan leaning against his shoulder and sighed. "Honestly, do you really think we're right for each other?"
Shao Yan abruptly raised her head, a complicated look in her eyes. "Fanfan, do you mean... you like Lin Xianhuo?"
"Your ability to understand things truly astounds me." Xiao Fan was speechless.
"Then do you think I'm too old?"
"No."
"Then why? Could it be that you really are gay?"
"Fuck, I'm not!" Xiao Fan hurriedly denied it.
"Then what's wrong with me?" Shao Yan pouted and looked at Xiao Fan innocently.
Xiao Fan looked back at her. After a long moment, he chuckled and said, "Nothing, really. Everything about you is good."
"You're perfect, suited to being someone's wife."
Hearing this, Shao Yan's pupils trembled, and a rosy flush spread across her cheeks. She felt her body grow unbearably hot, and she stammered, "Are you confessing to me?"
"Confessing!?"
"What confession!?"
A voice filled to the brim with anger came from the bedroom.
Xiao Fan hurriedly turned, his eyes suddenly widening. Lin Xianhuo had come out soaking wet, wrapped in a bathrobe, her long, snow-white legs completely exposed below it.
She strode over and frowned. "What were you just saying about a confession?"
Xiao Fan shook his head. "No, nothing. Get dressed first."
"Aren't I dressed?" Lin Xianhuo showed off her bathrobe, then sat down beside Xiao Fan as naturally as could be and laid her long legs across his lap!
Xiao Fan felt as though his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
He was only eighteen. How could he withstand this kind of stimulation? Two stunning women were clinging to him, one on either side, radiating endless temptation!
Xiao Fan took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Do you really want to do this?"
Both women froze.
"All right, then." Xiao Fan grinned, grabbed a woman in each hand, and headed toward the bedroom!
At once, both women's faces filled with alarm!
"No!"
"Not yet!"
"Xiao Fan, let go of me!"
"If I lose my virginity now, my dad will kill me when I get home!!"
"..."
Xiao Fan curled his lip, tossed the two women onto the bed, and snorted. "You two can sleep by yourselves tonight!"
"I'm warning you, don't play with fire around me again!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid one day I really won't be able to hold back, and I'll have my way with both of you at once!"
"You want both of us at once!?" Lin Xianhuo said indignantly.
Shao Yan curled her lip. "I can't accept doing it together."
"Then take turns!" Xiao Fan grinned.
"That won't work either!" Both women jerked their heads up to refuse, crossing their arms in an X.
"Then what the hell are you yelling about!" Xiao Fan turned and left the bedroom, locking the door behind him. He snorted. "I don't want to wake up in the morning and find the door gone!"
