You'd Better Stay True to Your Original Intent

With a bang, Feng Rumeng's bones jolted inside her body.

She went numb.

Through her haze, he saw the room filled with refracted, multicolored light.

Long Xingye was asleep when something fell from above and struck him, drawing a muffled grunt.

He raised his massive dragon head, displeased. "What fucking bastard dared ambush me while I was looking for a wife..."

His cursing stopped short. Long Xingye stared at the figure sprawled spread-eagled on top of him, his lazy purple eyes widening. "A woman fell from the sky—no, a female?"

He glanced up at the white barrier overhead. It hadn't been damaged, so how had she gotten in?

This was the season when beastmen went into a frenzied heat. As a dragon, he was no exception. He'd even been having an erotic dream and had almost gotten to the XXOO.

Who knew the orca female emperor on the fifth floor would interrupt him? He had beaten her for three days and nights before venting his anger. He'd finally calmed down and was just about to resume his dream...

Could that old dragon couple have found their consciences and remembered that their son, acquired on the cheap, had reached the blooming age of one hundred and come of age this year? Had they casually tossed him a female to relieve himself?

He nudged Feng Rumeng with his dragon head. "All her bones are shattered. How am I supposed to play with her?"

His dragon nostrils snorted two streams of white vapor. "At this size, she wouldn't even be enough for me to snack on."

In her daze, Feng Rumeng felt the texture of scales and thought it was Ling. Her eyes, hidden beneath her black hair, fluttered half-open, no longer able to focus. Her body temperature plummeted, and her bloodied lips murmured with difficulty, "Ling, I'm hot."

Long Xingye sniffed. "Since you smell so sweet and fragrant, I'll grant you a quick death and swallow you in one bite."

He was about to go downstairs when his purple slit pupils caught sight of the two silver bracelets on her wrist. "This craftsmanship, this style? Fuck, and these clothes—what a coincidence?"

He took human form and caught Feng Rumeng, brushing aside her long hair to reveal her devastatingly beautiful face, her pupils already unfocused.

Long Xingye's dragon brain crashed. "A face this exquisite-could she be the world's most beautiful woman?!"

He curled a finger, and a golden Beast Crystal floated over and landed on her bloodied lips.

Long Xingye studied her for a long while. Her face looked so familiar, and that slender neck too. Where had he seen her before...

He gazed at her, entranced, for a long time before suddenly coming to his senses. She was the woman who had appeared in his spiritual domain that day...

The dragon crystal on Feng Rumeng's lips remained unchanged. She couldn't absorb the tenth-rank golden Beast Crystal.

"I only wanted to give you the best. I forgot you aren't a beast-world female and don't have a rank. You need a mate's help to absorb Beast Crystals."

Long Xingye lowered his purple eyes and pondered for a long while. Then he beckoned over a pink crystal, held it in his mouth until it turned into liquid energy, and passed it to Feng Rumeng. Once she had swallowed it, he breathed purple dragon Qi into her as well.

Her cherry lips were so soft. He smiled faintly and laid her on a soft beast hide. "I've already given you my first kiss, so one more place stirring with desire won't make a difference."

"Lucky you. Who told me to be so kindhearted? I'll just have to take the loss." As he spoke, his long purple robe vanished, and dragon Qi spilled out and coiled around them...

Feng Rumeng's lashes trembled, and her fingers instinctively clutched the beast hide.

After an unknown length of time, Feng Rumeng's consciousness gradually cleared. When she saw the person before her, she struggled. "You... get off me."

Long Xingye pinned her hands down. "Don't move. If you don't want the dragon Qi to burst you apart, let me properly guide your Spiritual Qi."

Bang. Feng Rumeng threw her head back against Long Xingye's forehead.

Long Xingye's voice was hoarse. "What's with the tantrum? I'm saving you. You should feel lucky to have your Qi blend with my dragon Qi. Plenty of female beasts here want it, but I won't give it to them."

Feeling the surging dragon Qi, Feng Rumeng bit her lip and turned her face away. "Hurry up and finish."

Daylight in the cave brightened and dimmed, then brightened again. He fed her one Beast Crystal after another. "Are you ever going to finish?"

He affectionately nuzzled the tip of her nose. "Not yet."

Afterward, Feng Rumeng slept for five days straight without waking. Long Xingye was filled with regret. If only he'd shown some restraint and hadn't been so greedy while doing it...

"What are you so smug about?" A shrill female voice exploded in her ear.

In her dream, Feng Rumeng's brows knitted slightly. This was a scene from when she'd just started her first year at university.

She'd been at school for only half a day when her beauty made her the new campus belle. The former campus belle, jealous of her, had blocked her path on the way back to the classroom.

"I've got a hundred thousand here. Transfer to another school," the former campus belle, Gao Yue, said, shooting her a sideways glance.

Feng Rumeng kept walking, absorbed in her music.

"Stop right there!" Gao Yue's lackey grabbed Feng Rumeng's shoulder.

Feng Rumeng turned and dodged her, then took off her earphones. "What is it?"

The lackey planted her hands on her hips. "You'd better know what's good for you, or you'll have hell to pay."

Feng Rumeng lowered her eyes to glance at her, then looked at the four people behind her. "Are you fucking sick in the head?"

The lackey hadn't expected Feng Rumeng to dare speak to her like that. Who didn't know she ran with Gao Yue? "You're the one who's fucking sick! Do you know who I am?"

Feng Rumeng shot her a glance. "Why should I care who you are?"

"You're just a newcomer. What makes you so arrogant?" A yellow-haired lackey stepped forward.

Feng Rumeng put her earphones back on, said, "How boring," and walked away.

The group refused to let her go. They surrounded her and even started hitting her. In the distance, some students heard the commotion and looked over.

Feng Rumeng caught the yellow-haired girl's incoming fist and used the momentum to throw her over her shoulder.

Seeing this, the others rushed in to gang up on her. Bang, bang, bang. In an instant, they were all lying on the ground, groaning.

Gao Yue folded her arms and smiled disdainfully. "We'll see about that."

On the fourth floor of the teaching building ahead, several male students stood in the corridor, all handsome and dressed in custom-made clothes.

"Brother Feng, your girlfriend just got the worst of it," said Li Tao, whose silver hair was styled in a wolf cut.

"Brother Feng, is this new girl your type?" Zhang Wei asked, rubbing his hands together. He wore a pale blue casual outfit.

Standing in the center, Wang Feng tucked his hands into his pockets and sneered. "I'm best at snapping flowers off their lofty peaks."

To his right, Cui Jingyu wore a wicked grin. "Brother Feng, want to bet on who gets her first?"

Cui Haitao leaned against a pillar with his arms folded. "Are we betting or not?"

Wang Feng looked back at him, a lazy smile curving his lips. "One million."

Cui Haitao raised an eyebrow. "Deal."

The others chimed in. "We're in too."

During a break between classes, Feng Rumeng went to get some water.

Cui Haitao took the initiative to greet her, extending a long arm. "Hello, junior. Let's get acquainted. My name is Cui Haitao."

Feng Rumeng glanced up at him and picked up her cup. "Hello."

Cui Haitao withdrew his hand. "Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me tonight?"

"Sorry, senior, I'm on a diet lately." With that, Feng Rumeng turned and left.

Li Tao walked over and watched Feng Rumeng's retreating figure. "Brother Tao, want me to cheer you on?"

Cui Haitao said nothing, his thin lips curving slightly.

The others took turns making their moves, striking up conversations between classes, in the cafeteria, and anywhere at school where they could create an opportunity.

Feng Rumeng responded politely to each of them, but didn't say a word more than necessary. Gao Yue was green with jealousy when she saw it.

It wasn't that Feng Rumeng considered herself above everyone else. She knew one thing: the last thing rich people lacked was beautiful women around them.

The young masters had all grown up steeped in money. Wherever they stood, plenty of people threw themselves at them, yet this Feng Rumeng had given them the cold shoulder.

"Remember today," Wang Feng said with a smile. "You'd better stay true to your original intent...

"I like gnawing on hard bones. The more you act like this, the more interested I get."
