The students were so shocked they were at a loss for words, their minds almost malfunctioning.
The Bizarre Snake had been incredibly strong; empowered by ancient spells, it had achieved quasi-Dawn Star power, making it almost invincible aside from the two true Dawn Stars stationed in Yaoguang City. Yet, even so, the King’s Cub had killed it in a single move.
How could it be so ruthless!
"This..." The middle-aged man’s pupils contracted. He was struck silent, a burning sha creeping up his cheeks. Previously, he’d thought this kid, Chu Yi, was arrogant and needed so setbacks to temper his character. Instead, the kid had casually killed his opponent. Even though the King’s Cub was only at the War General level, it had instantly slaughtered a quasi-King level Bizarre Snake...
Understood. He was like those prodigies from the Imperial Capital—monsters who couldn’t be understood or bound by common sense. Truly a prodigy.
"Chu Yi is a good kid—confident and steady. Sir, don’t you agree?" the old dean squinted, offering a way to save face, and said with a smile.
"Hmm." The middle-aged man composed himself and spoke calmly, his evaluation of Chu Yi rising to a new level.
In Yaoguang City... no, among the nearby cities, he would definitely rank in the top ten in the first round of the Starfire Sequence selection! The reason it was only the top ten was because the other top Masters had all reached the Gold tier and possessed quasi-Dawn Star combat power. As fellow prodigies, they possessed trump cards comparable to the King’s Cub; only a true battle would determine who was stronger.
With a great WHOOSH, fireworks exploded, their brilliant colors blooming and drifting like butterflies, showering down iridescent powder and transforming a corner of the ravaged academy into a haven of purity.
"Senior is amazing! I haven’t seen him for just a few days, and he’s already nurtured a King’s Cub..."
A girl in a white dress, the picture of purity, tilted back her fair, delicate neck. She gazed at the handso young man with his kingly air, her beautiful eyes shining with adoration, and she couldn’t help but lick her lips.
His looks, strength, potential, personality... all perfectly matched her fantasy of a partner. Within her Enchanting Demon bloodline, an impulse surged: to bear Chu Yi’s children, to birth future kings who would rule the Royal Court. Oh, that little bat isn’t to be feared. However, her sister has also taken an interest in Senior lately, though she won’t guess that Senior is the King of Black Robes himself. And then there’s the Moon Princess... Chen Xi mused, wondering when she should mobilize the Enchanting Demon Army to attack the Moon Princess’s fiefdom.
With this thought, a charming smile touched her lips, and she walked towards Chu Yi.
The King’s Technique consus too much, Chu Yi thought. The Souls I amassed in the Moon Princess’s Royal City are almost depleted. He sensed the Chaotic Burial Mound; the tens of thousands of ghosts that once sward it were nearly drained from continuous use. Of course, the biggest drain had been the five days of relentless cultivation with the Moon Princess. The Soul replenishnt during that ti had turned Chu Yi into a virtual perpetual motion machine.
The Flower of Desire was slumbering.
Jiu Ying was also asleep. A crimson gown clung to her magnificent figure as she lay sideways on a hammock. Above her neck, nine exquisite, beautiful faces were stacked together—a sight both bizarre and horrifying, yet possessing a strange, stunning allure. She murmured softly in her sleep, and occasionally, wisps of thread-like lines would ensnare passing ghosts, pulling them in to be devoured in a single bite.
Now this is a true daughter! Chu Yi thought. That Jiang Qiuyun can only be called a goddaughter at best; she doesn’t even listen to her father and just goes through the motions after so much effort to get her to cooperate. It’s simply outrageous!
"YIP~" Bika, having unleashed a nuclear-level strike, felt its aura weaken. It transford into a small, six-tailed fox cub and nestled onto Chu Yi’s shoulder to sleep.
Chu Yi smiled soothingly and fed it Spirit Cores to help refine its bloodline, making its kingly lineage even purer.
"Senior!"
At that mont, a junior sister, renowned as much for her stunning figure as for her innocent charm, bright eyes, and pearly teeth, moved with the delicate grace of a lotus, yet with surprising speed. She directly took Chu Yi’s arm, pressing herself against him so her ample bosom enveloped it.
"Caught you, Senior! You can’t run away!" she bit her lip, revealing pearly teeth, and said with feigned fierceness. "I paid for this, Senior! You have to take responsibility!"
Her resentful tone imdiately made the sharp-eared students perk up, their faces alight with gossip. There’s definitely sothing scandalous going on here! If the Six-Tailed Fla Emperor didn’t explain, they were ready to start rumors. So who had witnessed them before imdiately linked Chen Xi, the newly acclaid ’campus flower’ of the first years, with Chu Yi, the ’campus grass,’ having seen their ambiguous interactions firsthand.
So male students were heartbroken. Their budding crushes were extinguished before they even began; she already had her sights set on soone.
"That shaless girl!" so female students seethed with envy and resentnt towards Chen Xi for making a move on Chu Yi before they, her seniors, could. Doesn’t she understand the importance of respecting her elders and deferring to seniors? So inconsiderate!
However, Chu Yi paid no mind to their gazes. He paused for a mont before saying, "Junior Sister, I have a girlfriend. I think it’s best if we just keep our relationship platonic..."
He had just successfully confessed to Lias, and she had warned him in the car that if he dared to flirt around, there would be no ice cream for him. Going without ice cream in this scorching sumr would be torture for Chu Yi.
At his words, Chen Xi’s delicate body stiffened for a mont before she slowly released his arm. She clasped her hands behind her back, leaned forward, her face—a perfect blend of innocence and allure—drawing close to his, a faint, sweet fragrance wafting from her.
"I... I understand... I’m sorry," she stamred. Her clear eyes seed to etch Chu Yi’s image into them. A flicker, like a ripple, disturbed their surface before the light within them dimd. "Even though Senior took sothing precious from ... to avoid any misunderstandings with your girlfriend, I... I’ll keep my distance."
Her crestfallen deanor startled the onlookers, fanning the flas of their gossip. There’s definitely a story here! The Six-Tailed Fla Emperor had a fling and then dumped the campus flower! What a juicy scandal!
The old dean started, a sudden worry creasing his brow. This kid isn’t actually fooling around, is he? He began to fret about Chu Yi’s personal conduct. He’s handso, powerful, and has a King’s Cub; it’s only natural that many beautiful girls would be attracted to him. But with so many people watching, couldn’t he be a bit more discreet about his private life? Where was an old man like him supposed to hide his face!
"Well, it’s not that you have to keep your distance entirely," Chu Yi coughed lightly. "We can just be normal friends." He glanced fleetingly at the pair of slender, delicate long legs visible beneath her skirt, his gaze quickly darting away.
Chen Xi’s beautiful eyes reddened. "Does Senior think there’s sothing wrong with ? Actually, I... I could be the other woman. Would that be okay?"
Saying this, her fingers clenched. They were fair and exquisite, so tender it seed water could be squeezed from them. She said nervously, "If Senior would just et secretly sotis... I... I’d be content..."
"After all," she insisted, "I paid... yes, I paid! Senior, you have an obligation to spend ti with ."
Chu Yi stared, dumbfounded, at this seemingly pure junior sister. Is my charm really that potent? he wondered. She’s not even trying to hide her feelings for . Ah, this is...
Chu Yi had a strong feeling that even if he returned the money, this junior sister would just find another way to latch onto him.
