Xu Xingyu was sandwiched between three girls and didn't know what to do.

He wanted to force his way out of their encirclement, but the three girls were all close to Xu Xingyu.

Thus, Xu Xingyu could only passively endure pressure no one his age should have had to bear. Trapped in this new Asura field, he prayed that once he grew stronger, he would be able to keep his girls in line. Otherwise, he would have to face an Asura field every day, and that was no way to live!

That was right. The three girls surrounding Xu Xingyu were Wang Dong'er, Xu Yanxue, and Jiang Nannan.

One was Xu Xingyu's lover and fiancée, one was his sworn younger sister in public and his lover in secret, and the last was his trusted secretary.

At that thought, Xu Xingyu couldn't help recalling the silver-haired figure still waiting for him at the Spirit Contract Pagoda. He sighed, thinking that he seemed to have become a scumbag.

Attracting so many outstanding girls without even realizing it could be said to be the greatest blessing of Xu Xingyu's life, but he was not an indecisive person.

Since he was in love, he was in love. He, Xu Xingyu, would not reject someone he held in his heart just to maintain a so-called image of devotion, nor would he remain in an ambiguous relationship with someone he had no interest in and enjoy her kisses and embraces.

Whether the former or the latter, both were worse than scumbags. Yes, he meant a certain Huo and a certain San!

Xu Xingyu was the typical "I want them all" kind of person. Perhaps that wouldn't do his reputation much good, but at least he was honest and not a hypocrite.

So, for the sake of his future happiness, he had to find a way to ease relations among the girls. After all, they were his most important wings!

As for why Xu Xingyu had fallen into this Asura field, it was because he and Wang Dong'er had originally agreed to meet on the food street today and enjoy a good meal together.

But when he finished his classes at the Soul Tool Department, Xu Yanxue asked if he had time to go shopping with her. Since he already had plans, Xu Xingyu intended to refuse her.

Then Wang Dong'er called on her Soul Tool Communicator to ask whether Xu Xingyu's classes were over. She told him exactly where to find her on the food street and said that she wouldn't be dressed as a boy this time.

As Wang Dong'er explained all this, Xu Yanxue listened in with a smile on her face. The moment Wang Dong'er finished, she said, "Okay, Dong'er. Brother Xingyu and I will find you at XXX Road on the food street."

Then, without waiting for Wang Dong'er to react, she abruptly ended the call and said in a sickly sweet voice, "All right, Brother Xingyu, let's go! We can't keep Dong'er waiting too long."

Looking at Xu Yanxue's expression, which was plainly smiling yet eerily like the depths of winter, Xu Xingyu knew he had no right to say no. He could only let her come along.

As for Wang Dong'er, the moment she heard Xu Yanxue's voice, she knew her plan to visit the food street alone with Xu Xingyu had gone up in smoke.

Since you, Xu Yanxue, insist on shamelessly tagging along, don't blame me, Wang Dong'er, for calling in reinforcements!

Wang Dong'er quickly called Jiang Nannan's Soul Tool Communicator and explained the situation.

When Jiang Nannan heard that she would be going out with Xu Xingyu, she didn't even stop to put on makeup. She headed straight to Wang Dong'er's location to wait for him.

That was how Xu Xingyu had ended up caught in this three-way Asura field. But to the onlookers, he simply didn't know how lucky he was.

Xu Xingyu knew they couldn't keep standing there at an impasse, so he could only brace himself and cough. "Um, girls, we've been standing here for a while. How about we find somewhere to sit down first?"

"Sure, Brother Xingyu! I did plenty of research before I came. There's a nice teahouse nearby where we can rest."

With that, Wang Dong'er hugged one of Xu Xingyu's arms and tried to lead him away. But just then, a small hand grabbed his other, free arm.

The owner of that small hand was Xu Yanxue.

"Dong'er, I don't think we should drink tea in this heat. An iced drink would be much more refreshing. I'll take Brother Xingyu to the iced drink shop nearby."

"No, no, iced drinks are unhealthy. Tea is better."

"Iced drinks!"

"Tea!"

Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue were like two ferocious beasts as they argued back and forth over whether tea or iced drinks were better.

In fact, anyone who knew them would have known they weren't really arguing over which drink was better, but over whom Xu Xingyu should go with.

Just as Xu Xingyu felt that the two of them were about to pull him in half, Jiang Nannan suddenly said, "Um, it's your first time on Shrek's food street, so how about I show you around first? Would that be all right?"

After hearing Jiang Nannan's suggestion, the two girls also noticed that quite a few people had gathered to watch. They dropped their argument and followed her suggestion.

But they didn't release Xu Xingyu's arms. Each held on to one as they walked with him.

Xu Xingyu could only give Jiang Nannan an apologetic look. He was grateful to her for helping him escape the Asura field, but he couldn't thank her in person right now.

He could only contact her after their outing today and see how best to make it up to her.

Just then, Jiang Nannan's voice suddenly rang out. "If you really want to make it up to me, could you go on a date with me after the freshmen assessment? You're always with Xu Xueyan and Wang Dong'er, after all, so spare a little time for me this once."

Hearing that, Xu Xingyu could only smile and say, "Sure. See you after the freshmen assessment."

But the moment the words left his mouth, Xu Xingyu realized something was wrong. Jiang Nannan hadn't spoken at all, so how had she conveyed her thoughts to him?

Jiang Nannan seemed to sense the question in Xu Xingyu's mind, but she merely smiled and offered no explanation.

That made Xu Xingyu involuntarily begin to ponder how Jiang Nannan had managed to do such a thing.

Could it be Spiritual Telepathy? But such a technique was impossible without sufficiently powerful spiritual cultivation, and the last time he measured Jiang Nannan's spiritual cultivation, she had only just reached the Spirit Sea Realm.

The early-stage Spirit Sea Realm alone was nowhere near enough to use Spiritual Telepathy, let alone use it without Xu Xingyu noticing, which was even harder.

What opportunity did Jiang Nannan encounter over the past few years to make her spiritual power so strong?

Sensing her carefully now, he found that Jiang Nannan's Soul Power cultivation was not low either. She had already reached level forty-five. As long as she cultivated steadily, even if she did not become a Soul King by the end of the year, she would certainly be infinitely close.

Xu Xingyu was surprised by this, but he also thought it was fairly reasonable. The current Jiang Nannan was different from the one in the original story. Not only had her Supreme Yin Jade Body escaped destruction by the Mysterious Underworld Sect's ritual, but her physique had also been fully awakened after she fused with an Immortal Moon Rabbit Soul Spirit.

So it was still acceptable that her Soul Power cultivation speed was several times faster than in the original story.

The main question was why her spiritual power had grown so much stronger over the past few years. Although the Supreme Yin Jade Body could accelerate Soul Power cultivation, it did not do the same for spiritual power.

But just as Xu Xingyu was about to ask Jiang Nannan to verify his guess, an angry feminine voice cried out, "Tang Ya, don't go too far!"
