Chapter 142: [Beauty's Seduction]

Joanna also noticed Luo Chen’s recent performance and said to Ellie, “Hey, that brat Luo Chen seemed to be using spiritual perception in combat just now, didn’t he?”

Ellie nodded. “It seems so.”

“Then there’s no doubt about it. Is that kid trying to get himself killed?” Joanna couldn’t help but scold, “It was one thing to go crazy during the low-weight movement technique competition where there was no threat at all, but now we’re facing fierce beasts and a battle of life and death. If he gets hit by a tearing attack, he’s going to suffer!”

Ellie pondered for a moment, “However, Joanna, haven’t you noticed that student Luo Chen’s spiritual perception seems much sharper than during the movement technique competition? His judgments are also very swift and accurate! The high-speed movements of the two wind wolves he killed were judged instantly. It seems he is very confident. Why do you think his spiritual power has improved so drastically?”

Joanna pouted and said, “How would I know? That brat and that stallion are both freaks!”

Luo Chen ignored the girls’ opinions because he was busy reaping the fruits of victory, slicing open the wolf carcasses one by one to search for crystal cores. Zhuo Yuqing also came over to help, and our campus beauty was now quite enjoying the process of harvesting loot.

All sixteen wind wolf carcasses were inspected. Their luck was pretty good, as a crystal core actually dropped. However, wind wolves did not have any valuable materials on them, so the crystal core was the only harvest.

Luo Chen pinched the crystal core and smiled. “This is only the first battle, and a crystal core already dropped. Awesome. Each of us can get close to three silver coins!”

According to the team’s prior agreement, the proceeds from hunted prey were distributed equally.

The boy-crazy girl piped up, “Hey, isn’t this crystal core worth more than two gold coins? Luo Chen, don’t try to fool us! I still want to earn some pocket money to buy skincare products.”

“Alright, stop doubting him.” Zhuo Yuqing stepped forward to speak for Luo Chen. “The captain and I have been hunting for a long time, and I even went to the market with him to sell wind wolf crystal cores. I know the market price quite well. Lulu, do you still doubt me?”

The boy-crazy girl quickly said, “No, Yuqing, of course I believe you!”

Luo Chen chimed in, “Haha, student Lulu, your skin is already so fair and tender, what use do you have for skincare products? It’s practically a waste of money.”

Having received this flattery, the boy-crazy girl narcissistically replied, “What you said is true. I, Lulu, am naturally blessed with beauty that is hard to abandon. Well, you do have some taste after all. Fine, I’ll leave the crystal core entirely in your hands to handle!”

That evening, the group encountered more than thirty waves of fierce beast surges. Almost every wave had a double-digit number of beasts, rarely encountering stragglers. This closely matched the rumored characteristic of beast tides traveling in groups. There were over four hundred fierce beasts and beast spirits in total, ranging from level one or two up to level five or six, until dawn arrived and a new team came to relieve them. The team members were all exhausted. After returning to the base camp, they each entered their tents to rest.

Early morning was the golden hour for internal cultivation. Despite being extremely tired, Luo Chen still completed his breathing exercise as usual before falling asleep.

The effect of a full sleep was very good. After just over four hours, Luo Chen woke up, while his tentmate Shi Feng was still fast asleep. Luo Chen didn’t wake him up; he merely took out the crystal core stove that Shi Feng had brought from the dormitory.

During this practical mission, most trainees simply satisfied their hunger with dry rations, but our stallion brother refused to mistreat himself, so he had prepared this crystal core stove.

Among the beasts hunted last night, quite a few were edible and tasted pretty good. Luo Chen had brought back a good portion of them, and now it was just the right time to enjoy a hearty meal.

Although Luo Chen’s cooking skills weren’t as good as Shi Feng’s, thanks to the stallion’s seasonings, the pot of meat still boiled with a fragrant aroma. Soon, catching the scent, Shi Feng scrambled up eagerly, his index finger twitching. “Beast, is there food ready?”

Luo Chen smiled. “You brat woke up just in time.”

“Haha, great! I didn’t have a midnight snack last night, and I always feel unaccustomed to it!”

Once they started eating, Luo Chen suddenly asked, “Right, Birdman. Is your spiritual pet Heavenly Horse a spiritual body?”

“A spiritual body?”

“I mean an energy body. It should be different from ordinary household pets like puppies and kitties, right?”

“Yeah. All spiritual pets are like that.”

Luo Chen thought for a moment and silently chanted, “Fatty Bird, come out.”

It appeared right beside them. When Shi Feng saw this strange pet, he instantly spat out everything in his mouth. “Beast, don’t summon this blockhead goose out! You’re going to laugh me to death, wa哈哈哈—”

started getting angry. *You’re the blockhead goose! Your entire family is blockhead geese!*

Luo Chen put down his utensils. “Eat by yourself, I’m going outside to get some fresh air.” With that, he walked out of the tent without looking back.

Shi Feng was somewhat stunned. *Damn, the beast is angry? Although it was wrong to mock his spiritual pet, there’s no need to be so petty, right?*

*Forget it, if he’s not going to eat, I’ll enjoy it myself!*

Just as Shi Feng was about to continue, the tent curtain was pulled open. The stallion brother still thought Luo Chen had returned, but when he raised his head, he discovered that the person entering was actually a girl.

Sara, Zhuo Yuqing’s roommate. Sara walked straight to Shi Feng’s side with a face full of smiles. No matter how Shi Feng looked at it, her smile seemed extremely flirtatious and seductive.

Shi Feng asked somewhat doubtfully, “Student Sara, you—”

“Shh, student Shi Feng,” Sara placed a slender finger lightly against Shi Feng’s lips. With shifting gazes and a very alluring voice, she said, “Let me speak…”

At this, Shi Feng felt his soul almost leave his body. *What is this woman doing? Is she trying to seduce me?*

Although Sara hadn’t reached the level of a campus beauty, she was still considered above average at Blue Emperor Academy and quite pleasing to the eye, especially the beauty mark beneath her lips, which looked very charming.

Sara walked behind Shi Feng, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her entire body against him. “Student Shi Feng, do you know that actually, when I first enrolled and saw you for the very first time, I fell deeply in love with you! But I’ve been holding myself back. I told myself I shouldn’t love you, and that just being able to see you was enough for me. Yet, every single minute and second I can’t see you is so agonizing—”

“Student Sara, you don’t need to blame yourself, it’s understandable. Many girls can’t help themselves the first time they see me,” Shi Feng gave a dry cough and put on a serious front. “After all, a dashing man like me, no matter where I hide, is like a firefly in the dark night, pearl milk tea on a bar menu, a duck among a flock of chickens—so distinct, so outstanding. My melancholic gaze and wispy stubble are all so—”

“Oh yeah, student Shi Feng, don’t say anymore. I can’t take it anymore!” Sara turned back to face Shi Feng, hooked her arms around his neck, and said, “Love me properly! I don’t dare hope for eternity, I only ask to possess you for a single night. The twenty minutes that are about to take place in this tent—”

Shi Feng immediately and solemnly corrected her, “No, it’s two hours.”

*Twenty minutes is too embarrassing, it wouldn’t even be enough to warm up this stallion!*

“Right, two hours! I will never forget it!” As soon as Sara finished speaking, she leaned her vermilion lips forward. Shi Feng was almost overjoyed; he truly never expected a beauty to throw herself into his arms so proactively and with such fiery passion. If he refused, how could he face her?

*Oh beast, stay out for some fresh air a bit longer and don’t come back too soon! Two hours should be about right. Even if you come back, you should know better than to interrupt when you hear noises, right? Sorry, I’m taking exclusive occupation of this tent first,嘿嘿 (hehe)!*

Shi Feng cupped Sara’s face and kissed her back. However, as they kissed, he suddenly heard someone say, “Birdman, what are you doing?”

Turning his head to look, it was Luo Chen. Shi Feng was greatly surprised. “Eh, beast, when did you get back? Can’t you see I’m busy? Go back outside and cool off for a while longer!”

Luo Chen wore a bizarre expression, pointing at what was in Shi Feng’s hand. “What is this brat doing?”

“Of course being affectionate with student Sara!” Shi Feng suddenly felt something was wrong. Why couldn’t he feel student Sara’s body anymore?

Shi Feng looked at his own hands with doubt, then upward—a head! The stallion brother’s soul scattered in terror, and he dropped the head in his hand almost immediately. Fortunately, this head wasn’t Sara’s, but rather a fierce beast’s head—the one Luo Chen had brought back.

“Where’s student Sara? How did this happen?”

“What Sara? When would Sara ever come to our dorm?”

“I clearly saw you go out just now, and student Sara came in right after you. Furthermore, she said she admired me very much and wanted to warm my bed—”

“Bullshit! Is there something wrong with your brain, kid?!” Luo Chen scolded. “I never went out at all, I’ve been right here the whole time! And Sara never entered the tent either. As for you, you suddenly went crazy just now, dug that fierce beast’s head out of the garbage bag, and started gnawing on it while babbling nonsense I couldn’t understand. You grossed me out to death!”

*What I kissed just now wasn’t Sara, but this beast’s head?* Shi Feng wiped his mouth and indeed found it covered in blood with a couple of hairs stuck to it. His stomach churned violently, and he completely lost his appetite. “Blech, blech, blech, blech—”

“Poor kid, so thirsty and starved that your spring fever gave you hallucinations!” Luo Chen sighed sympathetically. “If you really can’t take it, just use your Five Sisters. It’s green and eco-friendly, hahaha—”

Shi Feng sheepishly retorted, “Go away! I am different from your Five Sisters. When has this stallion ever sunk to such a level? I am firmly against it, I’ll never use it, what a waste!”

Meanwhile, was secretly giggling inside. *Let you call me a blockhead goose again!* Shi Feng’s embarrassing mishap was naturally a trick played by it. Having regressed into the appearance of a fatty bird, it was still very weak, but because Shi Feng and Luo Chen were as close as brothers and dropped their guard around each other, the illusion was able to succeed. If the stallion had been on guard, current wouldn’t have been able to do anything to him.

Yet the stallion brother didn’t suspect it, feeling deeply puzzled in his heart. *It makes no sense. Am I really that terrifyingly thirsty and starved? If this goes on, it won’t do. They say that if your intimate life isn’t harmonious, a person’s psychology will become distorted—just like that little innocent Luo Chen, whose very pet is a blockhead goose!*

Shi Feng shuddered. *I don’t want a distorted psychology! I don’t want a blockhead goose!*

*Gods, please bestow a babe upon me!*
