"Oh, you mean that? That's my saliva," the young man said calmly, making Wang Dong pause, as if he was saying he had eaten an extra egg that morning.
"Sa… Sa-sa-saliva?!" The child was so shocked that he couldn't speak properly.
"You're too disgusting!" The girl deftly took off the white silk on her feet, threw it on the ground, and rubbed her tender feet with the bedsheet.
The somewhat aggrieved girl raised her head, her dreamy eyes glaring fiercely at An Zhen. "I didn't bully you before, so why did you put saliva-stained white silk on my feet?"
An Zhen was silent.
The little loli quickly stepped forward and whispered an explanation into Wang Dong'er's ear.
"Pervert!"
"An Zhen, you big pervert!" the blushing girl shouted.
"Think about it from another perspective."
Teachers taught us to learn to look at problems from different angles. An Zhen, a good student, often put this into practice.
"You are the queen, and I am your servant."
Wang Dong: ?
Stepping on An Zhen and making him lick her feet like a puppy…
A bright light flashed in her pink-blue dreamy eyes; it seemed like a very good feeling.
Watching Wang Dong'er's mood improve, even a smug smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and An Zhen Gege's calm expression, Huo Yutong felt that Wang Dong seemed to have been tricked by An Zhen Gege.
After comforting the young miss and setting up three NPC puppets for cultivation, An Zhen began to change the scene.
Beach, sea, sun, beach chairs, parasols, school swimsuits…
"No, this won't do!"
Wang Dong's small head shook like a rattle. Although, logically, this wasn't her real body, letting her wear something like that in front of An Zhen was impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Then the previous sportswear. I'll change it to a non-absorbent material."
"That works."
An Zhen didn't insist.
After all, they had only known each other for a few days.
Perhaps due to some special circumstances, their relationship was extraordinary in some aspects, but both girls were proper, innocent maidens.
"Even though it's fake."
Lying on the beach chair, An Zhen picked up a manga that Wang Dong had bought.
By the sea, a beautiful girl with pink-blue long hair and a blue-haired loli happily jumped into the water. Her fair, beautiful legs gently stirred the surface of the water, and her cute little rabbits bounced and swayed with the girl's movements. Her long hair gathered into a single strand under the effect of water and gravity. Her agile posture was like a swimming dragon. A pair of fair, jade-like arms embraced the little cute one, and the girls played and frolicked.
It was truly beautiful.
…
Time passed.
The day before school started was also spent youthfully.
"So sleepy."
Wang Dong'er yawned, contentedly putting down the manga book. Inadvertently, a hint of snowy white was revealed at the collar of her long dress. She gently patted her somewhat numb fair legs.
"I stayed up all night and finally finished the book."
Like a lazy big cat, the girl lay on the bed, her perky buttocks raised, and her pink-blue dreamy hair spread out casually.
"An Zhen, remember to bring me breakfast." A sleepy voice sounded.
"No."
The young man, who had put down another novel, rested his head on the blue-haired little cute one's lap, gently rubbing against it.
"Yu Tong~"
The pitiful girl crawled over, deliberately bumping An Zhen's head, and playfully lay on Huo Yutong's other leg, "Bring breakfast."
"Me too, put it on Wang Dong's tab," An Zhen said lazily.
"You're really shameless."
"Likewise," An Zhen politely replied.
Wang Dong'er rolled her beautiful eyes and turned her head away.
She couldn't win against this guy.
"Alright, alright, don't argue."
Touching one head with each hand, the blue-haired loli gently soothed the two. Although they were both very mature in some matters, they were very childish in others.
"Oh, right."
The loli suddenly remembered something. "An Zhen Gege, are you also in New Class 1?"
Wang Dong opened her eyes a slit.
"No."
"We're a bit luckier; we're in New Class 9."
"Although Yu Tong, you've eaten a lot of medicated meals these past few days, those things take time to show their effects. Your spirit power has broken through to level thirteen, but the improvement to your physical quality isn't significant."
Refreshing his state, the energetic An Zhen stood up. "Your Class 1 teacher, Zhou Yi, is very strict with ordinary students, almost tormenting them, unless they are students she values."
"If there are any physical activities, Wang Dong, please help Yu Tong more."
"Of course." The exquisite girl proudly patted her chest. "Leave it to me."
"Mm, Young Miss Wang is very reliable."
"Hmph hmph."
An Zhen vaguely seemed to see a tail wagging behind Wang Dong.
Getting up, he checked the levels and statuses of the three.
An Zhen walked towards the teaching building.
"Weapon Spirit Department Teaching Office."
Confirming it was the correct place, An Zhen gently knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
Inside the understated, classical office, a middle-aged man with dark green hair and a short beard looked at An Zhen. "Student An Zhen, is there something you need?"
The Director of the Shrek Weapon Spirit Department, an eight-ring Spirit Douluo, Du Weilun.
An Zhen wasn't surprised that Du Weilun knew him. Aside from other things, defeating Xu Sanshi and the Gourmet Douluo patronizing his endorsed milk tea stall, it would be strange if he didn't know him.
"Director Du, hello. My Spirit is quite special, and the traditional class model isn't quite suitable for me, so I wanted to explain and apply for my idea."
"Oh?"
He knew that this little fellow in front of him had completely crushed Xu Sanshi in a very strange way. Although he heard that he was also seriously injured afterward, he was a freshman. Moreover, Elder Xuan had specifically mentioned him, and he was suspected of entering the Sea God Pavilion's sight.
But besides knowing that his Spirit was the World, everything else about it was very mysterious.
"My Spirit Ability allows me to understand the outside World while maintaining meditation cultivation, which doesn't delay my studies, but it looks like I'm sleeping in class," the young man said somewhat shyly.
So you came to the office early in the morning just to apply for the privilege of sleeping in class?
If it were anyone else, Director Du would have picked him up and thrown him out. But this one was someone Elder Xuan had specifically asked to pay close attention to.
"Do you have any way to prove it?"
"I can't bring anyone else for now; I have to wait until I have the third spirit ring."
Du Weilun: ?
Does this mean he can already know the ability of his third spirit ring in advance?
Feeling somewhat confused and uncomprehending, Du Weilun took out a book from outside An Zhen's field of vision.
"Although sleeping in class is a bit outrageous, based on the teaching philosophy of putting students first, if you truly have this ability, I can approve it." Pushing up his glasses, Du Weilun said seriously, "How about this? I have a book in my arms. If you can tell me its name and the content of the first page, I'll believe you."
After all, Spirits are indeed strange and varied, and some special abilities are understandable.
"Okay."
An Zhen closed his eyes.
One minute later.
"Director, the book in your arms is a manga titled 'Overbearing Young Master Falls in Love with Commoner Girl.' It has Xu Sanshi's name on it. The first page is an exquisite illustration with handwritten words, which is a love letter written by Senior Xu Sanshi to Senior Jiang Nannan. Also, Director, you have two gold coins in your pocket."
An Zhen blinked, looking expectantly at the Director of Instruction.
"A very impressive ability."
Du Weilun now understood some of the reasons why this kid could make Elder Xuan speak up and pay special attention. With his cultivation as an eight-ring Spirit Douluo, he hadn't felt a single trace of mental force probing just now.
"Then about me sleeping in class… ah, no, cultivating."
"You may. I approve it. You're in New Class 9, right? I'll tell Teacher Mu Jin when she arrives later."
"Thank you, Director. Oh, right." An Zhen turned his head to look at the open window. "Someone outside the window is looking for you."
An Zhen closed the door and left.
Du Weilun paused. Someone outside the window?
The next moment, an elegant middle-aged man appeared in the office.
"Dean."
Du Weilun said respectfully.
"What a good seedling!"
Yan Shaozhe's fervent gaze seemed to penetrate the wall, looking at the departing figure.
And he was an orphan.
…
New Class 9.
When An Zhen arrived, there were only one or two people in the classroom. He found a seat in the back row by the window and sat down.
After a while, he accepted the breakfast Huo Yutong had brought.
"Classmate, is anyone sitting next to you?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded.
"No."
A small bag was placed on the table next to An Zhen. An Zhen turned his head to look at his deskmate.
She was a tall girl with delicate features. Although not as beautiful as Wang Dong, she was a girl no less attractive than Tang Ya. Her short golden hair looked very neat, and her bright, watery eyes were lively and intelligent. She smiled kindly at An Zhen.
"Hello, my name is Ning Tian, Student An Zhen. I've heard much about you." The golden-haired girl extended a fair, jade-like hand.
"Hello."
They shook hands, then released.
"Young Master!" A red figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
"Feng Mei!" The golden-haired girl softly reprimanded.
The originally furious girl's aura instantly weakened. The former hungry wolf turned into a well-behaved puppy. "Young Master."
"Alright, find a seat and sit down. Class is about to start," the girl said in a somewhat commanding, forceful tone.
Short red hair, like burning dragon flames, and her eyes were the same. Her features were exquisite, and her skin was as fair as jade, no less than Ning Tian beside her. Her excellent figure far surpassed the unripe Wang Dong. The four words 'big chest, no brain' seemed to be perfectly embodied in her. (Manga version image)
To be honest, compared to Ning Tian, An Zhen was more interested in this Wu Feng. He couldn't help it; in the original novel, she was the one fiercely pursuing him in the early stages, but later she became the one being pursued (Ning Tian was turned into a man in Qiankun Asks Love Valley).
What a reversal of the situation!
"Tap, tap, tap…"
Footsteps sounded, and a short, curly-haired woman holding a lesson plan walked into the classroom. She stood on the podium and scanned the students below. After confirming the correct number of students, she spoke, "Class will now begin."
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Mu Jin. You can call me Teacher Mu or Teacher Mu Jin. I will be your homeroom teacher until the class division assessment begins three months from now. I hope we can get along well during this period. If anyone has any difficulties with cultivation or daily life, you can come to me."
Mu Jin's voice paused, and the gentleness on her face turned serious. "First, I want to clearly tell you your goal for the next three months, which is the freshman assessment. Each of you is a small genius carefully selected from the Three Great Empires."
Many students' faces showed a hint of arrogance. Each of them was a top student in their original junior schools, a genius among their peers.
"But there is no shortage of geniuses here. To give you a practical example, the upcoming freshman assessment will eliminate two-thirds of you freshmen."
Although they had all understood this beforehand, hearing this terrifying number, most of the students present were stunned.
"Do your best to pass the freshman assessment and stay. Only such students can be called elites."
