Going to the Academy
The morning sun slanted across the luxurious bed.
Dongfang Yueming was in a strange state of being half asleep and half awake.
Just as he was about to fully open his eyes, he suddenly heard a faint, extremely soft, strange sound in his ear.
The air was thick with the unique fragrance of a mature woman, a sweet and cloying scent like ripe peaches, so intense it was almost suffocating.
Dongfang Yueming's long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Ah!"
Shen Yuyan, who was lying beside him, sat up abruptly like a startled rabbit!
Because her movements were too hasty and chaotic, her black coat slipped off her fair shoulders, revealing a large expanse of her tight-fitting, crimson-black, openwork ice silk bodysuit.
"Moon... Yueming... you're awake..."
Shen Yuyan pressed her hand to her chest, breathing heavily. Her mature and beautiful face was flushed red, almost dripping with water. Her watery peach blossom eyes flickered uncertainly, and she dared not meet Dongfang Yueming's gaze at all.
Dongfang Yueming raised his head slightly, his gaze falling on the beautiful woman's mature and delicate face.
A glistening sheen of moisture was noticeably visible at the corner of her full, delicate red lips!
"Aunt Yuyan..."
A playful smile curved Dongfang Yueming's lips. He casually raised his right hand, his slender fingers gently tracing the corner of her mature, delicate lips, and whispered teasingly in her ear:
"So early in the morning... were you sneaking a bite to eat?"
"No... no! You've mistaken me!!"
Shen Yuyan bristled as if on fire, her delicate face turning bright red all the way to her ears!
She frantically covered her lips with her slender hand, her delicate body trembling violently with extreme shame, stammering out a flimsy excuse:
"I just noticed a speck of dust on your face... and wanted to blow it off... that's all! You naughty boy... don't get any ideas!!"
Looking at the beautiful mature woman before him, who was usually dignified and aloof but was now so shy that she wished she could disappear into the ground, Dongfang Yueming smiled without saying a word.
His hand slid down to embrace her soft, unrestrained waist, pressing heavily on her plump, black-stockinged buttocks before releasing her.
"Alright, we still need to go to the academy today, go prepare breakfast."
"Uh-huh!"
As if granted a pardon, Shen Yuyan didn't bother to pick up her coat from the floor. Instead, she grabbed the hem of her semi-transparent ice silk bodysuit, her bare, snow-white feet wrapped in black stockings, and fled the bedroom in a somewhat disheveled state.
Half an hour later.
The cozy restaurant was filled with fragrant high-grade star beast meat steaks and spirit fruit and fresh milk.
Shen Yuyan washed up in the bathroom three times before coming out to dine with Dongfang Yueming, her face still slightly flushed.
The two chatted about their day's schedule at the First Academy while eating breakfast, creating an ambiguous yet warm atmosphere.
After breakfast, Shen Yuyan returned to the master bedroom to change her clothes.
When she stepped out of the bedroom again, Dongfang Yueming's eyes lit up slightly.
To project an image of dignity and authority as a top-tier instructor at the First Martial Dao Academy, Shen Yuyan donned an extremely formal instructor's uniform.
She wore a fitted, pure white silk blouse, the amazing fullness of her chest stretching it taut, the top two buttons seemingly on the verge of popping off; her lower body was covered by a dark green high-waisted fitted pencil skirt, perfectly concealing her round, plump, and astonishing hip line.
On her long, shapely legs, she had changed into a brand new pair of semi-transparent black stockings with a glossy sheen, and black patent leather high heels. She exuded a dignified and noble yet extremely alluring mature and mature motherly charm.
"Does it look good?" Shen Yuyan asked, her face flushed, as she adjusted her collar somewhat awkwardly.
"It looks great, it suits you perfectly." Dongfang Yueming stood up and smiled as he put his arm around her waist.
"Let's go to the academy."
Shen Yuyan gave a soft "hmm" and obediently nestled beside him.
The two walked out of the manor side by side, boarded the hovercar, and sped towards the [First Martial Dao Academy], the most central building in Fallen Star Base City!
Inside the train carriage.
"Yueming, when we get to the Star Chart Chamber of Commerce near the academy, your aunt will buy you a [Bronze One-Star] attack-type Star Skill."
Shen Yuyan paused, then added softly, "Although I can't afford a high-level silver star skill, I can certainly afford a bronze star skill worth several hundred thousand star coins if I grit my teeth. With a bronze star skill, you'll have one more trump card in the Rising Star Competition three days from now."
In this world, a bronze star skill is already considered a luxurious configuration for a martial artist who has just entered the Star Vortex Realm.
However, upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming merely smiled faintly and shook his head:
"Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need to buy the Bronze Star Skill."
"I've already chosen my target; all I need is the most basic one—[Black Iron One-Star Shadow Wolf Step]."
"What?! Black Iron One-Star ' Shadow Wolf Step '?!"
Shen Yuyan's beautiful eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise, her whole body in a panic:
"Yueming! Are you insane?! ' Shadow Wolf Step ' is just the lowest-grade, most common Star Skill. Besides increasing base speed by a tiny bit, it has absolutely no offensive power! You're now a top-tier talent, S-rank or higher! How can you use such a low-level Star Skill to tarnish your Star Slot?!"
At this point, Shen Yuyan seemed to suddenly remember something, her beautiful eyes reddened, and a surge of intense sorrow and heartache rose in her heart.
In her opinion, the reason why Dongfang Yueming chose the cheapest black iron star skill was clearly because he knew that she had already spent most of her savings on buying Star Soul Chart, and he was deliberately saving her money!
"Silly child... I absolutely cannot let you compromise yourself on Star Technique!"
Shen Yuyan's eyes welled up with tears, and she excitedly grasped Dongfang Yueming's hand.
Feeling the warmth of the beautiful woman's hands and her heartfelt concern, Dongfang Yueming felt a warmth in his heart.
He grasped Shen Yuyan's soft, boneless hand in return, pulling it forward so that his large palm naturally landed on her rounded thigh clad in black stockings. He gently stroked the cool, silky feel of the stockings and smiled:
"Aunt Yuyan, you're overthinking it. I chose ' Shadow Wolf Step ' not to save money, but because I have my own plans."
"This..."
Shen Yuyan blushed slightly, but she still hesitated when she heard the boy's words.
But when she thought of the miracle the boy had created an S-class Star Soul from a bunch of F-class scrap drawings, Shen Yuyan's doubts vanished instantly.
[Yueming... he must possess unique skills that I can't match!]
"Good..."
Shen Yuyan nodded obediently, letting the young man's large hands take advantage of her beautiful black-stockinged legs, feeling extremely shy.
As Dongfang Yueming gazed at the scenery outside the window, a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
In this world, Star Skills are obtained by slaying Star Beasts and obtaining the [Star Beads] that drop from their bodies!
By absorbing star beads, you can acquire star skills!
The reason why Dongfang Yueming targeted "Shadow Wolf Step" is very simple - the star beast [Shadow Swift Wolf] that produces this star skill is the most widely distributed and largest star beast group in the suburbs outside the Fallen Star Base City!
A single Black Iron One-Star Shadow Wolf Star Bead, worth no more than 10,000 Star Coins, is worth no more than 10,000 Star Coins on the market.
As long as he has enough, he can continuously purchase star beads of the same attribute, and even go out of the city to hunt wolf packs in the future!
With the system's unreasonable smelting ability, dozens or even hundreds of "Shadow Wolf Step" techniques were frantically fused together...
"Arrive."
The hovercar slowly landed in front of the [Fallen Star City First Star Chart Exchange].
Dongfang Yueming unbuckled his seatbelt and smiled, "Just wait for me in the car, I'll be right back."
"That won't do!"
Shen Yuyan refused without even thinking.
She lifted the hem of her silk dress, hurriedly got out of the car in her black high heels, reached out her slender hand and tightly grasped Dongfang Yueming's arm, pressing her ample bosom against the young man's arm, her expression wary as she glanced around:
"Those beasts from the Qin Family could make a move at any moment!"
