17 Your Consumption is All Free 

Seeing the girl he liked hugging another boy and shyly saying the word “like”, Lan Ke’s mind exploded with a bang, and his reason instantly disappeared, leaving only one thought:

Kill Yan Zhen!

He suddenly erupted with the aura of a 9-star Mystic Scholar, condensing Qi in his palm and forcefully slapping towards Yan Zhen’s face.

Yan Zhen, who had thoroughly read the script, naturally knew that Lan Ke would be enraged and launch a sneak attack, so he was prepared.

He activated the Imperial Blaze Art, mobilizing the extreme flame mystic power fused with Gold and Silver Fire from the fire seed of the technique, and punched out.

Fist against palm, ice mystic power against fire mystic power, producing a strong explosion.

Bang!

The two separated as soon as they touched. Lan Ke retreated three steps, while Yan Zhen also staggered and bumped into the wall behind him.

Just in terms of mystic power, 5-star Mystic Scholar Yan Zhen could only be evenly matched with 9-star Mystic Scholar Lan Ke. To determine the outcome, he had to use mystic techniques.

Feeling a burning pain in his palm, Lan Ke felt extremely humiliated. He didn’t expect Yan Zhen to react so quickly. Even in a hasty confrontation, he fought him to a draw.

How could a 5-star Mystic Scholar have such strong mystic power? He was a 9-star, and a top one at that. Even when facing a Mystic Master, he had the strength to fight. How could a mere 5-star Mystic Scholar be able to tie with him? He should have been completely crushed by him!

“Cousin, are you alright?”

Yan Meng’er hurriedly stepped forward to check on Yan Zhen’s condition. The latter shook his head, indicating that she didn’t need to worry.

“Lan Ke!” Yan Ruyu shouted coquettishly and protected Yan Zhen behind her. “You actually dare to openly violate the academy rules. As an advanced class student, you made a move against an intermediate class student. I’m going to report you to the law enforcement instructor!”

Mi Xue’er also disdainfully said, “A powerhouse on the Nine Stars List launching a sneak attack on a new student, truly shameless!”

Hearing the two girls’ words, Lan Ke’s reason quickly returned, and his expression slightly changed.

He looked around and found that the surrounding students were also casting strange gazes at him.

The academy clearly stipulated that only lower-level students could challenge higher-level students, but higher-level students couldn’t bully lower-level students.

Although Lan Ke wouldn’t face too severe punishment for openly violating the academy rules with his identity, it was still a loss of face. Moreover, he had also fought to a draw, making it even more embarrassing.

Lan Ke could already imagine the various ridicule from other opponents on the Nine Stars List.

He didn’t say anything else, glared fiercely at Yan Zhen, then turned and left, not even caring about his lackeys.

Yan Zhen didn’t stop him either. This part of the plot ended here. To deal with Lan Ke, he still had to wait until later.

Because of Lan Ke’s disruption, the four of them had no mood to eat anymore.

Yan Ruyu was worried that Lan Ke would still cause trouble for Yan Zhen, so she suggested going to find Instructor Yu Xuan to handle this matter.

In Instructor Yu Xuan’s independent office.

The reincarnated Instructor Yu Xuan wasn’t worried at all that Yan Zhen would really have an accident. Before long, Lan Ke would no longer be Yan Zhen’s match. The one who should be in trouble should be Lan Ke.

But she still agreed, saying that she would let Lan Ke’s instructor restrain the other party, so they didn’t need to worry.

“Thank you, Instructor Yu Xuan.”

“You’re welcome. You’re my disciple, so this is what I should do.”

Instructor Yu Xuan seemed to have forgotten about the ambiguity last night, showing her usual gentle smile.

Yan Zhen thought that he might as well take this opportunity to get closer to her to avoid affecting the subsequent plot.

In the afternoon, it was the mystic technique class, and the instructor in charge was none other than Instructor Yu Xuan.

She taught a palm technique called “Void-Breaking Seal”, which could externalize mystic power a short distance to achieve the effect of injuring people from afar.

Mystic power externalization was the mark of a Mystic Master. If one had the means to break through the void with mystic power before becoming a Mystic Master, their combat power would be significantly enhanced.

Of course, this couldn’t be compared to true mystic power externalization at all, because the Void-Breaking Seal consumed a lot of mystic power, had a very short flight distance, and the power was also reduced. It was only suitable for unexpected sneak attacks.

Instructor Yu Xuan demonstrated while explaining the key points, then let the students practice on wooden stakes while she observed and guided them from the side.

As a reincarnator, Mi Xue’er had long mastered this mystic technique, so she was just going through the motions, her mind completely on Yan Zhen next to her.

Yan Ruyu felt as if she had already learned the Void-Breaking Seal before, quickly grasping it to a good degree. From half a meter away, she slapped the wooden stake, leaving a faint palm print.

As for Yan Zhen, he was similar to Yan Ruyu, learning it very smoothly. The palm print he left was even more obvious than Yan Ruyu’s because his mystic power itself was very domineering.

Instructor Yu Xuan secretly paid attention to Yan Zhen. Seeing him smoothly learn the Void-Breaking Seal like in the previous life, she smiled slightly.

This meant that Yan Zhen had listened to her lecture attentively.

After the mystic technique class, it was free time.

The two girls invited Yan Zhen to go shopping together.

Yan Zhen knew what they were after, but he didn’t mind and readily agreed because he also wanted to buy some yellow paper and vermilion.

Just like at noon, the three of them first went to the junior class to find Yan Meng’er, then left the academy together and went to the street, or more precisely, to the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce in Silver Moon City.

The Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce had branches in the ten major cities of the Gallo Kingdom. The one in Silver Moon City was even larger in scale than the one in Martial Tang City.

Yan Zhen, according to the script, said that he was going to buy some yellow paper and vermilion and wouldn’t walk with them to avoid being used as a porter by them.

However, Mi Xue’er smiled and said, “Since we came out together, let’s walk together. We’ll go with you to buy yellow paper and vermilion first, and then we’ll buy our things after.”

Uh. Yan Zhen was at a loss for words because the script wasn’t written this way. Mi Xue’er should have said to him, “Then see you later, Little Brother Yan Zhen~”, not showing a little devil expression like now, looking like she was determined to make him carry bags.

“Won’t this be too much of a waste of time?”

“No. Walking and walking with friends is the joy of shopping~ Let’s go, let’s go.”

Saying that, Mi Xue’er actually boldly hugged Yan Zhen’s arm and pulled him forward, as if they were a newly confirmed shy couple.

Looking at their intimate backs, Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er glanced at each other, both becoming suspicious.

–Is Xue’er (Sister) getting more and more enthusiastic towards Yan Zhen (Cousin)?

With doubts in mind, the sisters hurriedly caught up with the two in front and came to the area selling talisman drawing tools.

“Yan Zhen, are you going to learn to draw talismans?”

“No, just buying them to practice calligraphy and cultivate the mind.”

“…Who are you trying to fool? Who uses yellow paper and vermilion to practice calligraphy!”

“Yeah, I’m fooling ghosts.”

After being stunned for a moment, Yan Ruyu reacted and said angrily, “Are you saying I’m a ghost?”

Yan Zhen politely curled the corner of his mouth.

“Hello, Butt Ghost.”

Hearing Yan Zhen joking about her butt again, Yan Ruyu was so angry that she couldn’t take it anymore. Yan Meng’er hurriedly comforted her, but Mi Xue’er became vigilant.

–How come it feels like Ruyu’s relationship with Little Brother Yan Zhen is much closer compared to the previous life?

She suddenly remembered.

In the morning during class, Yan Ruyu specifically went around to the other side to sit next to Yan Zhen. In the previous life, Yan Ruyu sat next to her and didn’t dare to get so close to Yan Zhen.

Could it be that the Ruyu of this life had changed her temperament?

Yan Zhen’s thoughts weren’t as complicated as the three girls’. After buying enough yellow paper and vermilion, he went to the counter to pay.

However, the cashier lady stared at him for a while, then politely asked, “May I ask if you are Young Master Yan Zhen from Martial Tang City?”

Yan Zhen was stunned. “It’s me. What’s the matter?”

The lady became even more respectful. “You are a supreme-level VIP of our chamber of commerce. Except for certain specific goods, all other consumption is completely free. You only need to have the invoice made out.”

Ah, this… again? Yan Zhen didn’t understand. The Chamber of Commerce in Martial Tang City gave him free stuff, but it was still free in Silver Moon City?

16 Like, Like~

During the noon break, Yan Zhen was unsurprisingly called to a corner by the big brothers of the class. Several 5-star and 6-star Mystic Scholars surrounded him, wanting to give him a warning.

Yan Zhen could have easily dealt with them on the spot. However, after Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er noticed that he had been called away, they came looking for him, stopped the other party, and took him away.

That’s how it was in the script, so Yan Zhen didn’t resist and followed Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er to the junior class to pick up Yan Meng’er. The four of them then went to the cafeteria together.

After getting their food, the four of them found an empty table and sat down. Yan Meng’er still stuck close to Yan Zhen. Yan Ruyu hesitated slightly, then also sat next to Yan Zhen’s other side. Mi Xue’er, who couldn’t snatch a good spot, could only sit opposite Yan Zhen.

At least she could see him eating when she looked up.

While eating, Yan Zhen listened in all directions and observed everything. Soon, he spotted the target person.

[Ding! Key plot begins]

[Current plot progress – Chapter 60: Lan Ke]

[Performance requirement: Actively pretend to be cousin’s boyfriend, angering the fickle bad boy pursuing cousin]

[Completion: 0%]

This requirement… he definitely had no problem. He was just afraid that Yan Ruyu wouldn’t cooperate.

Yan Zhen was on high alert. He saw the young lord of Silver Moon City who liked Yan Ruyu walking over with two people and stopping beside them.

“Ruyu, after being apart for nearly two months, I finally see you again.”

The three girls all stopped eating and looked up at the person who came.

“Lan Ke?” Yan Ruyu spoke. She subconsciously glanced at Yan Zhen, not too happy. “Do you have something to do?”

Lan Ke was suave and said with a smile, “I just wanted to see you, so I came.”

The two reincarnators, Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er, silently complained that this person was really thirsty.

If such sweet talk was said to a girlfriend, the girlfriend might be moved, but Yan Ruyu was not Lan Ke’s girlfriend and didn’t like him. Hearing it only made her feel disgusted.

Yan Ruyu didn’t flare up. After all, the other party’s cultivation and identity were there. She just said indifferently, “I’m eating with my friends. If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb us.”

“There’s one more thing to ask you.” Lan Ke was unhurried. He pointed at Yan Zhen who was still eating. “I heard he’s your cousin?”

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly. “So what if he is?”

“If he is, then it’s fine.”

Lan Ke got a satisfactory answer and smiled, planning to gloss over it. But then he heard Yan Zhen say indifferently, “What if I’m not?”

The smile was still hanging on the corner of Lan Ke’s mouth, but his voice turned slightly cold. “Then there would be a big problem.”

“Then I’m really not.” Yan Zhen put down his chopsticks and looked at Lan Ke leisurely. “Now what problems do you have?”

The attitude as if deliberately picking a fight made Lan Ke’s expression sink.

“Ruyu, this cousin of yours is a bit impolite.”

Yan Ruyu was worried that Yan Zhen would clash with Lan Ke and was about to tell Yan Zhen to behave. But then she heard Lan Ke say that Yan Zhen was not, and instantly became unhappy.

“Because you’re disturbing our meal! If there’s nothing else, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

“Ruyu, you know I don’t mean to offend. It’s just that yesterday, this cousin of yours beat up Bu Luo, injuring him quite badly. I didn’t make an issue of it with him for your sake. Now he has such an arrogant attitude, frankly speaking, it’s very bad and easily causes trouble.”

Lan Ke spoke in the tone of an elder, as if he was really saying these things for Yan Zhen’s sake.

Yan Zhen secretly thought that the villains in carefree novels were indeed quite good at pretending. Don’t be impatient, he would break his defense soon.

“It’s none of your f*cking business. Could it be that you’re fantasizing about being my cousin-in-law, deliberately saying words of an elder teaching a junior, to satisfy your own delusions? Wow, that’s too thirsty. Even a blind person can see that Elder Sister Ruyu doesn’t like you, yet you’re still trying to get close to her here.”

Yan Zhen exposed Lan Ke’s thoughts with one sentence, making the latter’s face alternate between red and white.

Yan Ruyu also silently spat. What cousin-in-law, just spouting nonsense!

“What, did I hit the nail on the head, leaving you speechless?” Yan Zhen continued to attack. “Young people don’t study properly, always thinking about romance. The key is, you can pursue romance, but you don’t allow others to approach the person you like. What a childish mentality.”

It could be seen that Lan Ke was already angry from embarrassment. His hand hidden in his sleeve had already clenched into a fist.

In the end, Lan Ke was also just a young man in his twenties. How could he argue with the keyboard warrior Yan Zhen?

“Your name is Yan Zhen, right? Do you know what you’re saying?”

“Are you angry? Then I’ll say something that will make you even angrier. The one Elder Sister Ruyu likes is me.”

These words shocked the four people present. Not only Lan Ke, but the other onlookers in the cafeteria were also very surprised. The most shocked was Yan Ruyu herself. She was almost trembling like a sieve.

How, how did he know? Could it be Meng’er? Did Meng’er betray me?

Suddenly, Yan Zhen opened his arms and wrapped them around Yan Meng’er and Yan Ruyu’s slender waists, one on the left and one on the right, like a dissolute young master entering a brothel, embracing beauties on both sides.

“Our Yan family has a clan rule. After the daughters of cousins reach a certain age, they prioritize serving the clan leader or young clan leader of the same generation. I am the young clan leader of this generation. They are not only my elder and younger female cousins but also my future concubines. So you guys shouldn’t have any thoughts about Elder Sister Ruyu or Sister Meng’er anymore. It’s destined to be fruitless.”

Lan Ke was stunned, and the students watching the commotion were also stunned. There are still clans with such rules?

Only the three girls understood that Yan Zhen deliberately said this. The content of the clan rule was not like that at all.

Yan Meng’er secretly bloomed with joy in her heart. After being reborn, she had been looking forward to this moment.

Cousin Yan Zhen took the initiative to hug her! Although it was only to act for Lan Ke to see, it was indeed him who took the initiative to hug her.

She immediately cooperated with the act, leaning on Yan Zhen’s shoulder like a little bird, and even said coquettishly, “Cousin, so many people are watching. I’m shy~”

Yan Zhen was speechless. You’re shy my a\*s. Usually, you’re always guiding us in the direction of incest. Do you really think others can’t see it!

Unlike the cousin who pretended to be shy, Yan Ruyu, who was hugged by Yan Zhen in public, was truly extremely embarrassed. She almost subconsciously pushed him away, but also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately, it wasn’t exposed.

Thinking that she could take the opportunity to make Lan Ke give up, coupled with Yan Meng’er’s hint, Yan Ruyu plucked up her courage and also hugged Yan Zhen’s waist.

“…”

Seeing Yan Zhen hugging Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er, Mi Xue’er was envious of this pair of sister flowers. Lan Ke, on the other hand, was jealous to the point of almost distorting. He couldn’t accept the fact before his eyes and said coldly through gritted teeth, “Ruyu can’t possibly like you. You’re coercing them with the clan rules! Are you even a man?”

Yan Zhen acted as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world, with an exaggerated and pretentious manner. “Sister Meng’er, Elder Sister Ruyu, you don’t like me?”

Hearing this, Yan Meng’er immediately kissed Yan Zhen’s cheek and said coquettishly, “Of course I like you. Meng’er likes Cousin Yan Zhen the most~”

Yan Zhen’s expression slightly stiffened, thinking that the incestuous cousin was taking advantage of him. In the script, she didn’t kiss him in public.

However, what Yan Ruyu did next made him even more shocked. He saw his elder cousin actually also kissing his other cheek, then lowering her head and muttering in a small voice, “Like, like.”

–Oh my god, the sun has risen from the west?

Not only Yan Zhen, but Mi Xue’er was also dumbfounded.

–Is this really Ruyu?

Yan Meng’er: (＞＜)☆

Yan Ruyu: /(//o/ω/o//)/

15 Official Start of School

Despite being in a world of a carefree novel without a female lead, such a fanservice event occurred, making Yan Zhen feel a deep sense of unease.

This kind of excessively coincidental fanservice scene would only appear in harem carefree novels, which contradicted the tone of the story he was playing.

He hoped it wouldn’t have too much impact on the subsequent plot development, otherwise he would have to find a way to fix it!

“And I feel a bit sorry for Instructor Yu Xuan. Should I do something to compensate her?”

Lying on the bed, Yan Zhen pondered with quite a bit of distress.

In the script, nothing ambiguous happened between him and Instructor Yu Xuan, they were just close teacher and student.

Instructor Yu Xuan was a gentle and good instructor. Although she didn’t really guide him as a disciple (because he had his beautiful master guiding him), she tried her best to fight for cultivation resources for him and opened many doors of convenience for him, exercising various privileges. It could be said that she was the person who treated him the best in the Mystic Academy.

Yan Zhen didn’t want to create a distance between them because of this incident.

“How should I compensate? She’s a mature beauty, sending things that deceive little girls is completely useless and would even cause misunderstandings.”

It was March, the weather was gradually getting hotter. Lying on the bedding, Yan Zhen showed signs of sweating.

He was just thinking of finding a fan to cool off when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

–That’s right, sweating!

Because of her cultivation technique, Instructor Yu Xuan was quite afraid of heat and sweated very easily. As soon as summer came, she would hide indoors, too lazy to go out. When she had to go out, she would apply cooling and sweat-absorbing fragrant powder and carry a cold mystic tool to relieve the heat.

Both the sweat-absorbing fragrant powder and the cold mystic tool were mostly first-grade.

It just so happened that Yan Zhen’s cultivation gift pack still had a self-selected first-grade mystic pill and a self-selected first-grade mystic tool. He couldn’t use them for the time being, so he could give them to Instructor Yu Xuan as an apology gift. It wasn’t expensive and could eliminate the possible distance that might arise between them. Wasn’t that great?

Both items were things Instructor Yu Xuan loved to use and were not precious. She had no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen slowly put his mind at ease, closed his eyes, and entered dreamland.

He didn’t know that Mi Xue’er, Yan Ruyu, and Yan Meng’er, the three girls, had a girls’ night and pretended to chat about him inadvertently until late at night; he also didn’t know that after returning to her room, Instructor Yu Xuan couldn’t help but practice her finger techniques while thinking about his “lively dragon”, practicing until she was exhausted before stopping.

The next morning, Yan Zhen woke up, changed his clothes, and went to the courtyard to do morning exercises, only to see that Instructor Yu Xuan was even earlier than him, airing the bed sheets.

“Instructor, good morning.”

Hearing Yan Zhen’s voice, Instructor Yu Xuan was startled and said in a somewhat flustered manner, “Morning, Yan Zhen, I… well… because I was too busy, I haven’t changed the bed sheets for a long time, so I washed them.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it. Wasn’t this like protesting too much? Yan Zhen was so perceptive, wouldn’t he notice?

Yan Zhen only felt puzzled. Didn’t the school just start? Was the instructor also very busy during the break?

But he didn’t say anything, only nodded.

“Then I’ll start my morning exercises.”

“Morning exercise is a very good habit. Persisting will greatly benefit you.”

After saying that in a formulaic manner, Instructor Yu Xuan quickly returned to the main house.

Yan Zhen naturally saw her discomfort and thought that last night’s “bathroom mishap” had indeed caused her to create a distance from him. He had to hurry and eliminate this impact.

…

After breakfast, the five of them walked to the Mystic Academy, attracting attention from many directions along the way.

Mi Xue’er, Yan Ruyu, and Instructor Yu Xuan often walked together. Many people would specially time their school commute to see them more.

However, today was different. There was an additional little beauty in a pink dress and an especially eye-catching handsome guy!

“Who is that guy? He can actually walk together with our academy’s three golden flowers and a little beauty? Too lucky, damn, I’m so jealous!”

“I heard he’s the cousin of that campus belle Yan Ruyu. I think he must have used his cousin’s relationship to become familiar with Mi Xue’er and Instructor Yu Xuan.”

“Wuwu, Instructor Yu Xuan is my goddess. I also want to go to school with Instructor Yu Xuan.”

Yan Zhen had excellent hearing and couldn’t help but feel speechless hearing the surrounding students’ complaints.

After entering the academy gate, the five of them split into three directions.

Yan Meng’er was assigned to the junior class, which was not in the same teaching building as the intermediate class where Yan Zhen, Yan Ruyu, and Mi Xue’er were. Instructor Yu Xuan went to the office building next to the teaching building.

Yan Zhen followed Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er to the intermediate class 1. It was a stepped classroom with no assigned seats.

At this time, there weren’t many people in the classroom yet. Yan Zhen chose a seat near the back and looked at the blackboard in the distance, feeling like he was back in university in his previous life.

Yan Ruyu and Mi Xue’er looked around, then sat on either side of Yan Zhen, very close to him, as if the two girls were completely unguarded against him.

In an instant, the gazes of most of the male students in the class turned sharp, their X-ray-like vision all focused on Yan Zhen.

The corner of Yan Zhen’s mouth twitched slightly.

Why would the protagonist in a carefree novel without a female lead still be involved with so many beautiful female characters? The answer was simple: to attract hatred.

Just yesterday, he had offended the City Lord’s Mansion and the first and second families because of Yan Ruyu as soon as he arrived in Silver Moon City.

Now all the male students in the class were also jealous of the two campus belles’ intimacy with him. Without looking at the script, he could imagine that during the noon break, someone would find him to have a talk, or even force a spar.

Of course, this was exactly what he wanted. After all, the system told him to show off more and slap more faces to restore the protagonist’s image that had collapsed a bit.

“Little Brother Yan Zhen, are we putting a lot of pressure on you?”

“I can still handle it.”

“So handsome. Then I’ll rely on your protection, bro~”

“…”

–Are you saying this to me in a whisper to add more fuel to the fire?

Yan Zhen glanced at Mi Xue’er resentfully, while the latter covered her mouth and chuckled.

Yan Ruyu wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she still opened her mouth. “If someone causes trouble for you, just let Instructor Yu Xuan handle it. Don’t hide it and not say anything. This place is not like Martial Tang(1)* City. Those guys won’t consider your identity when they make a move.”

Yan Zhen turned his head and looked at his cousin’s profile. “Elder Sister Ruyu, you’re concerned about me?”

“Who, who’s concerned! It’s just a piece of advice, to save you from causing trouble, hmph~”

Without her younger cousin’s company, Yan Ruyu became flustered as soon as Yan Zhen looked at her.

Hearing this, Mi Xue’er couldn’t help but secretly sigh. Her best friend was truly a standard tsundere. How could she have been blind back then and thought that she could capture Little Brother Yan Zhen? Typical of being useless even when given a chance. Looks like she had to do it herself!

Yan Zhen knew Yan Ruyu had this temperament well and didn’t mind.

The bell rang, and Instructor Yu Xuan walked into the classroom with a ruler and a teaching plan, stood on the podium, and began the first class meeting of the school year.

As a student who had just joined the intermediate class 1 this year, Yan Zhen was asked to introduce himself to everyone. So he recited the lines from the script in a cocky manner, “Young Lord of Martial Tang City, Yan Zhen, sixteen years old, 5-star Mystic Scholar, soon to be 6-star. Whoever wants to challenge me, I’ll take you on!”

Yan Ruyu: “…”

Mi Xue’er: (。。)

Instructor Yu Xuan: (⊙\_⊙)?

Other classmates: (╬￣皿￣)=○

Martial Tang(1)* = Wudang City = Wutang City

14 My Little Brother is Invincible in the World

Seeing Mi Xue’er approaching, Yan Zhen and Instructor Yu Xuan were about to break out in cold sweat.

“Instructor, use water to push her away,” Yan Zhen suggested in a small voice. Familiar with the script, he naturally knew that Instructor Yu Xuan cultivated a water-based technique.

“…”

Only then did Instructor Yu Xuan react. She quickly circulated her mystic power, stirring up the pool water to form small waves, forcibly pushing Mi Xue’er back.

“Hey, hey, hey, Instructor Yu Xuan, don’t push me!”

“You’re not allowed to come over.” Instructor Yu Xuan said indifferently, not even looking at Mi Xue’er, and scooped up pool water to wash her skin on her own.

Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er both covered their mouths and giggled, with a hint of schadenfreude.

“Look at you, being disliked by the instructor. Can’t you behave yourself?”

“Sister Xue’er, it’s best not to anger the instructor.”

Mi Xue’er’s face was splashed with hot water. She shook her head like a small animal, shaking off the water droplets on her face. Her eyes were extremely resentful as she looked at Instructor Yu Xuan. Hearing the two girls’ mockery, she became angry from embarrassment and also splashed water at them.

One hand splashing each person.

Yan Ruyu didn’t indulge her at all and immediately retaliated. Yan Meng’er appeared smiling on the surface, but she was actually not one to be taken advantage of. She also returned the favor.

The three girls splashed water at each other, making a ruckus, their laughter ringing like bells.

In the past, Instructor Yu Xuan would have scolded them by now, but now she hoped they would make more noise and not turn their attention to this side.

Taking a temporary breather, Instructor Yu Xuan’s tense delicate body slowly relaxed. Suddenly, she felt a burning hot object pressing against her below, occasionally moving. Her face first showed confusion, then realized what it was. It instantly turned completely red, both shy and angry.

“Yan Zhen!”

She reached out and slapped Yan Zhen’s leg under the water, gesturing for him not to mess around, and at the same time, she sat a little forward.

Yan Zhen had an innocent expression.

Instructor Yu Xuan sat on his legs with her bare buttocks, their skin touching. How could his little brother, who claimed to be invincible in the world, remain unmoved?

He was a teenage boy in his puberty!

But since the current situation was his fault, Yan Zhen didn’t say anything and tried to think of some disgusting things to reduce his physiological urges.

For example, the giant elephant’s butt, the black goat of the forest…

Ugh~

Just as it started to take effect, he saw Instructor Yu Xuan’s hand reaching back, grabbing it.

Yan Zhen inhaled a sharp breath.

“Instructor?”

“Don’t move.”

As a mature adult, Instructor Yu Xuan obviously knew that a virile young man couldn’t control his desires. Worried that he would get too excited and thrust it in, she took preemptive measures.

Yan Zhen’s thoughts gradually became blurry. In his mind, the image of his beautiful and charming math teacher from his previous life patiently teaching him how to solve problems appeared.

“Teacher, where should I start with this problem?”

The slightly cold math teacher said indifferently, “First, derive this.”

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen slowly relaxed his body and entered a state of no thoughts, no worries – the sage mode.

Instructor Yu Xuan also withdrew her hand. Although her expression didn’t change much, her heartbeat had already soared to the limit.

What had she done? It was simply too shameless! She actually did that in front of a student—

Would Yan Zhen think she was a promiscuous woman?

“Instructor, Instructor!”

Hearing Mi Xue’er’s call, Instructor Yu Xuan came back to her senses and found that the three little girls had already stopped making a ruckus and were looking at her.

She tried to remain calm and said in her usual tone, “I’m listening. What do you want to say?”

Mi Xue’er straightened her back and said seriously, “Reporting to the instructor, I wanted to say, don’t shrink in the corner. Come over and bond with us. We’ll give you a shoulder massage and leg rub, okay? We guarantee to serve you comfortably.”

Yan Ruyu walked a little closer. “Instructor, are you still angry? Next time, I won’t let Xue’er barge in. Please forgive us.”

Yan Meng’er showed anticipation in her eyes. “Instructor Yu Xuan…”

Instructor Yu Xuan’s head was already big. She wasn’t angry, she just couldn’t leave!

“I appreciate your kind intentions. However, I want to soak quietly for a while. You don’t need to mind me.”

The three girls looked at each other, thinking that Instructor Yu Xuan wasn’t quite right today.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t imagine that their respected instructor was currently sitting on Yan Zhen’s legs. Although her expression was no different, her heart was extremely nervous.

Losing the mood to play, the three girls saw that Instructor Yu Xuan seemed to be in a low mood and were sensible enough not to disturb her.

“We’ll go out first. Let’s have a girls’ night before going to bed. Instructor, do you want to join?”

“I’ll see later.”

“Then we’ll be going. Instructor, don’t soak for too long either.”

The three girls left one after another.

Click, the door to the shower room was opened and closed again. Instructor Yu Xuan still didn’t dare to let her guard down until the three girls had changed their clothes and walked out of the changing room. Only then did she let out a big sigh of relief.

She quickly got up from Yan Zhen’s legs and distanced herself from him, saying, “Alright, Yan Zhen, you should leave too.”

Yan Zhen scratched his head. “Instructor, why don’t you leave first? My, my legs are cramping.”

Instructor Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had been sitting on his legs for so long that he definitely couldn’t walk.

“Sorry, am I… very heavy?”

“Huh?”

What kind of logic was this?

“No, Instructor, I didn’t mean to say you’re heavy. I just… I, I’ll leave first then.”

Yan Zhen couldn’t explain anymore and simply chose to run away.

He supported his body with both hands on the pool edge and forcibly stood up.

However, his feet were still cramping. The muscles in his legs seemed to have solidified into twists, and the sharp pain made it very difficult for him to stand.

Just as he was about to lift his leg and step out of the bathtub, Yan Zhen felt that one leg couldn’t exert any strength. His body tilted and he fell backward.

Splash.

Water splashed everywhere, and waves of water rippled, hitting Instructor Yu Xuan behind him.

“Yan Zhen, are you alright?” Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart tightened. Not caring about being naked or the propriety between men and women, she quickly swam forward and supported Yan Zhen from behind.

At this time, with his legs in severe pain, Yan Zhen didn’t have the mood to feel the instructor’s softness. He only showed an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Instructor, I’ll go out right away.”

“Wait, let me clear your meridians first.” Instructor Yu Xuan’s eyes were full of worry. She carried Yan Zhen to sit on the pool edge, then squatted in front of him. She circulated water mystic power and wrapped it around her hands, massaging his calves.

Water and wood attribute mystic powers both had certain effects on healing injuries. Instructor Yu Xuan had also learned healing techniques. The water mystic power seeped into Yan Zhen’s legs bit by bit, and the pain that felt like twisted muscles quickly eased.

Feeling Instructor Yu Xuan’s small hands pressing and kneading on his legs, the cooling sensation brought by the water mystic power forming a sharp contrast with the warmth of the surrounding pool water, Yan Zhen only felt exceptionally comfortable.

“Feeling better?”

Instructor Yu Xuan raised her head. Coincidentally, the evil dragon was also raising its head.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and then she angrily threw down Yan Zhen’s big pig trotters, turning around.

“If you’re okay, hurry up and leave.”

Yan Zhen was also very embarrassed, but he was sitting on the pool edge while Instructor Yu Xuan was squatting in the pool. The angle was too good, almost seeing everything. So it opened for the second time.

He felt that his rationality was on the verge of disappearing. If he didn’t leave, facing such a tender and juicy beautiful instructor, he didn’t know what would happen.

Run, run~

“Then I’ll be going. See you later, Instructor.”

13 Instructor, We’re Coming In

The two of them spoke at the same time, then fell silent simultaneously.

After a brief contemplation, Yan Zhen understood the cause and effect.

He had fallen asleep and drowned in the bathtub, getting pulled into the crystal space. Instructor Yu Xuan thought he had finished washing, so she went to wash next. Then he happened to wake up and came out of the crystal space, running into her.

This mess was his fault.

The female lead was taking a bath, and the male lead accidentally barged into the bathroom, catching a glimpse of the female lead’s spring scenery.

This was a common fanservice scene in harem novels.

But this wasn’t a harem novel, but a carefree novel without a female lead! There was no such plot in the script at all. It was the consequence of his operation error.

–He had deviated from the script again!

“…”

Instructor Yu Xuan was extremely embarrassed. Although she liked Yan Zhen, it didn’t mean she could accept being seen naked by him.

At this time, she was half-squatting in the water, her legs tightly closed, her arms desperately covering her breasts. But they were too big to be fully covered, instead squeezing out a tantalizing shape, even more seductive.

She looked at Yan Zhen, not quite understanding why he was still in the bathtub. Shouldn’t he have finished washing and returned to his room? There was no sound at all when she came in earlier. Could it be–

“Yan Zhen, don’t tell me you were deliberately hiding in the water, waiting for us to come in?”

She bit her lip, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Holy crap, I’m being wronged! Yan Zhen hurriedly explained, “I wasn’t, I didn’t. This was an accident! I was a bit drunk, so I slept for a while, not expecting…”

Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart relaxed. She naturally believed his explanation, and it made sense too.

Fortunately, Yan Zhen wasn’t that kind of lowly scum. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to do.

Because if he forcefully took her, she might not resist too violently.

“Then can you go out first? If they see us like this, there will be misunderstandings.”

“I’ll leave right away!”

Yan Zhen felt greatly relieved and turned to walk out of the bathtub.

Seeing him so decisive, Instructor Yu Xuan inexplicably felt a trace of reluctance and resentment.

Although it was embarrassing, such a rare opportunity to be alone with him.

Moreover, was her body that unattractive that he didn’t even spare an extra glance?

She subconsciously called out, “Wait, Yan Zhen!”

Yan Zhen’s footsteps paused. Without turning his head, his face facing away from Instructor Yu Xuan was filled with nervousness.

–She wouldn’t beat me up to vent her anger, right?

“What’s the matter, Instructor?”

“No, nothing.” Instructor Yu Xuan’s courage instantly dissipated. She changed her words, “Be careful when you go out. Don’t let them see you, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.”

Yan Zhen nodded like a pecking chicken. “I will, I will… Then I’m leaving?”

Instructor Yu Xuan made an “mm” sound.

Just at this moment, the door to the changing room was pushed open with a bang, followed by Mi Xue’er’s rambunctious voice, “Instructor Yu Xuan, we’re coming to wash with you~~~”

Holy shit!

Yan Zhen, who was about to step out of the shower room, hurriedly retracted his leg and looked out through the door crack, only to see Mi Xue’er leading Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er in.

“Xue’er, this isn’t very good, right? The instructor will be angry.”

“It’s fine. The instructor isn’t that petty. Besides, I just want everyone to soak in the bath together, that’s why I had the bathtub made a bit bigger.”

“That’s right, Elder Sister. We’re all girls, you can’t still be shy, right?”

“Meng’er’s words resonate with me deeply. Hurry up and take off your clothes!”

Seeing the three girls starting to undress, Yan Zhen gently closed the door and quickly retreated to the edge of the bathtub, turning to Instructor Yu Xuan, gesturing for her to say something.

Instructor Yu Xuan was also scared. Only after receiving Yan Zhen’s eye signal did she react, loudly saying, “Xue’er, you’re not allowed to come in, otherwise I’ll be angry!”

Outside the door, Yan Ruyu showed a worried expression and advised, “Let’s not go in. If we anger Instructor Yu Xuan, there won’t be anything good for us.”

But Mi Xue’er was unwilling to give up like this. She liked to stick close to people she was familiar with. Since childhood, she loved to cling to her mother and aunts. The many female relatives of the Mi family had a very good relationship with her.

“It’s not the first time. You’re still saying that. I won’t agree, Instructor Yu Xuan! Unless you’re doing embarrassing things inside.”

Instructor Yu Xuan was really going to be angered to death by this Mi Xue’er, always coming up with ideas and daring to say anything.

She glanced at Yan Zhen’s reaction and saw him looking at his nose, nose looking at his mouth, mouth looking at his heart, only feeling her face heating up.

“Anyway, you’re not allowed to come in. Otherwise, the training volume will double after school starts!”

“I believe Instructor Yu Xuan won’t abuse public power for personal gain.”

Mi Xue’er chuckled, already stripped naked, wrapping her body with a white towel, her hair also coiled up.

Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er also wrapped their delicate bodies with towels. However, Yan Ruyu let down her ponytail, gathering it to one side, while Yan Meng’er casually made a bun.

“Alright, let’s go in together– Instructor, we’re coming in~”

Inside the shower room, Yan Zhen and Instructor Yu Xuan were both extremely anxious, but the shower room was empty, with no place to hide at all.

Click, the door was opened. Instructor Yu Xuan no longer cared about any sense of shame. She grabbed Yan Zhen’s wrist and pulled him back into the pool, letting him hide in the corner, only his head exposed to breathe. Then she sat on his legs, using her own body as a cover.

Bath salts had been added to the pool water, presenting a bluish-green color, making it difficult to see clearly underwater. As long as they didn’t get too close, it would be hard to discover that there was another person behind her.

After doing all this, just in time, Mi Xue’er opened the door and walked in together with Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er.

“Silly girl, you’re not even listening to what I say anymore, huh?” Instructor Yu Xuan pretended to be angry. “You two as well, how could you follow Xue’er to make trouble.”

Mi Xue’er wasn’t afraid at all. “Oh, Instructor Yu Xuan, today is Sister Meng’er’s first day moving in. We’re all soaking in the bath together to connect with each other. Isn’t it great?”

Yan Meng’er smiled sweetly. “Instructor, can I go in and soak with you?”

Yan Ruyu also shyly scratched her cheek, then looked at Instructor Yu Xuan expectantly, the meaning self-evident.

Instructor Yu Xuan secretly sighed and said helplessly, “Come in, all of you. But be well-behaved and don’t make trouble.”

Mi Xue’er readily agreed, but boldly tore off her towel, lightly leaped, and jumped into the pool, splashing a circle of water.

Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er were much more elegant. After untying their towels, they quickly stepped into the bathtub and sat down.

Feeling the relaxation brought by the hot water and bath salts, the three girls exhaled in unison.

“How does it feel, Sister Meng’er?”

“It’s very comfortable~”

“Right? When I’m free, I like to soak in the bath. But the one who soaks most diligently is still Instructor Yu Xuan. It’s precisely because of this bathroom that she agreed to live here– right, Instructor?”

The gazes of the three girls all looked at her. Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty, afraid that they would notice something amiss. She subconsciously shifted her jade buttocks.

“Mmph!”

An excessively soft, smooth, and bouncy sensation came from his legs, causing Yan Zhen behind her to let out a muffled grunt, nearly scaring Instructor Yu Xuan.

–Don’t make a sound.

She secretly transmitted her voice.

With Mystic Master cultivation, mystic power could be released externally. High-star Mystic Masters could wrap their voice in mystic power and secretly transmit it to others’ ears.

“Instructor?”

Instructor Yu Xuan pretended to be indifferent. “I shouldn’t have lived here. I’m always irritated by you.”

“Don’t say that, Instructor. I know I was wrong. Isn’t that enough?”

Mi Xue’er pouted aggrievedly and swam towards her.

12 Beautiful Master Sneaking Snacks

The hot water spraying from the faucet poured down on Instructor Yu Xuan’s body, producing thick white steam that vaguely covered her nearly fully ripe, enchanting figure, creating a hazy beauty.

Her princess braid hairstyle was untied and re-coiled, tied behind her head with a towel, revealing her swan-like elegant neck and crystal-clear jade-like ears.

The scalding water flowed all over her body. Her already moist and glossy skin was soaked, revealing a healthy and sexy pink, making it appear even more tender and smooth.

She slightly raised her delicate chin, her face showing a hint of intoxication. Her hands roamed from her shoulders and arms to her waist, then to her breasts and back.

After a simple rinse, Instructor Yu Xuan turned off the running faucet and stepped into the nearby bathtub, sitting down. The water level just submerged her chest, hiding most of her spring scenery.

Leaning against the stone pillow made of volcanic rock, she lightly exhaled, her expression gradually relaxing.

Instructor Yu Xuan cultivated water-attribute mystic power and had a more water-friendly physique, so she greatly enjoyed soaking in baths.

Immersing her body in water, feeling the coolness or warmth of the water, her mood would settle down.

It had always been like this, with the only exception being now.

“…”

Thinking that she was soaking in the water that Yan Zhen had just soaked in, Instructor Yu Xuan couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild, her body heating up in waves.

It was as if Yan Zhen hadn’t left and was sitting beside her, intimately bathing together like a couple.

“Instructor, you’re so beautiful~”

The pure-hearted young man was attracted by her fully ripe jade body, unable to restrain himself for a moment, and embraced her in his arms.

But she, considering her face as an instructor and the reservation of a young lady, shyly shook her head and said, “Yan Zhen, we can’t~”

But the young man was passionate. How could he listen? He forcefully kissed her, greedily taking and possessing her, turning her into his.

As the shameful images flashed in her mind, Instructor Yu Xuan hurriedly shook her head, shaking off the unrealistic delusions.

“I really… obviously I shouldn’t, sigh~”

In her previous life, she had watched him get married and let go. Why did she become infatuated again after being reborn?

–Because she felt she had a chance now.

“I, I didn’t think that way at all!”

She immediately denied it, as if to convince herself, strengthening her tone. After saying that, she weakly lowered her head.

“In the end, why was I reborn? Is it to make up for this regret? I actually haven’t let go in my heart at all?”

What should she do…

The gentle and mature beautiful instructor was now as troubled as a green young girl who had just fallen in love.

Suddenly, she touched a hard object in the water. She grabbed it and took it out to look, only to find that it was a colorful, semi-transparent small crystal.

“What is this? It’s so beautiful. There’s a string too. Could it be a pendant?”

…

Yan Zhen’s sleep was actually not deep. The main reason was that he sank as soon as he fell asleep. The pain of drowning stimulated his consciousness. Then, a different kind of pleasure was also awakening his senses, so Yan Zhen woke up.

His nose smelled the unique faint fragrance of his beautiful master’s body, and his head also felt the soft and bouncy sensation he was very familiar with.

It was his beautiful master’s lap pillow!

Opening his eyes to look, it was indeed so. The extremely oppressive peaks blocked his vision, preventing him from seeing his beautiful master’s face.

However, he saw his beautiful master’s hand placed at the corner of her mouth, a small tender tongue lightly sliding over her fingers and between them.

Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment, then reacted. His beautiful master was actually licking her fingers!

He was so surprised that his eyes widened.

Yan Zhen had never thought that his beautiful master would make such a movement. Her little tongue roamed back and forth between her five fingers, like a kitten washing its paws, a bit silly and cute, completely different from her usual otherworldly temperament.

It was cute indeed, but why did his beautiful master do this? Could it be… she was secretly eating some snacks?

Thinking this way, Yan Zhen found his beautiful master even more adorable. He accidentally laughed out loud.

Chen Xi heard the sound and put down her hand with lightning speed, her cheeks dyed with a faint blush.

She slightly bent over and lowered her head to look, just in time to meet Yan Zhen’s gaze.

Yan Zhen blinked and obediently said, “Greetings, Master.”

Chen Xi put on a stern face, her pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at him, coldly saying, “You, you saw?”

Yan Zhen immediately shook his head like a drum. With his beautiful master’s temperament, she definitely didn’t want people to discover her childlike side.

“I just woke up and didn’t see anything!”

Chen Xi felt slightly relieved, but still confirmed, “Really?”

Yan Zhen nodded vigorously and pretended to ask, “What was Master doing just now?”

Chen Xi coughed and returned to her usual indifference, saying, “Nothing much. Just checking my palm lines out of boredom.”

Yan Zhen nodded thoughtfully and sat up. The robe covering his body slid down, revealing his bare upper body, feeling chilly.

Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment. Only after taking a closer look did he realize that he wasn’t wearing clothes. At the same time, he also remembered that he was just soaking in the bath and seemed to have fallen asleep.

He hurriedly picked up the robe to wrap around his lower body, his face flushed, and asked, “Master, how did I come in?”

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Xi’s mouth curved up, and she briefly explained.

“Fell asleep while soaking in the bath and drowned?”

After hearing it, Yan Zhen became even more embarrassed. Drowning while taking a bath, how could that be? The protagonist’s coolness had all been dropped by him. My god, would the character setting collapse?

[Ding! System’s warm reminder: The character setting has collapsed a little. Please re-establish it through showing off and slapping faces.]

Holy crap!

Yan Zhen’s heart trembled.

If something went wrong, then all his acting these days would be in vain. It wasn’t a key plot point, so he didn’t know if he could restart.

“Sorry, Master, for disturbing you. I’ll go back now.”

Yan Zhen hurriedly got up. Without waiting for Chen Xi to answer, he activated the Star Shifting Fire Seal and fled.

Seeing him leave, Chen Xi also felt relieved. She raised her right hand that still had traces remaining and felt guilty.

She almost got exposed.

If he found out, she couldn’t continue being his master anymore.

…

In the bathtub, Instructor Yu Xuan carefully examined the colorful crystal, quickly thinking that it might have fallen off when Yan Zhen was soaking in the bath.

“I’ll take it and return it to him. His room is in the side house.”

Thinking of going to Yan Zhen’s room, Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart heated up. She didn’t plan to continue soaking either.

As soon as she stood up, suddenly, the colorful crystal in her hand shone brightly, so bright that she could hardly open her eyes.

“What?”

The light quickly dissipated, and Yan Zhen returned to the bathtub, seeing Instructor Yu Xuan in front of him, naked, hair coiled up, and still holding his pendant. He was instantly stunned.

Instructor Yu Xuan’s eyes also regained vision. Seeing Yan Zhen in front of her, bare-chested, dumbfounded, and her holding his pendant, she was equally stunned.

Their eyes met, and the scene seemed to freeze.

“Ahh!!!”

“Wahh!!!”

Two screams sounded at the same time, overlapping and echoing in the empty bathroom.

The two of them simultaneously covered their chests and sank into the water, their movements almost identical. Then they spoke in unison:

“Yan Zhen, you–”

“Instructor, you–”

The two paused, seeming to want to let the other speak first, but seeing the other’s pause, they continued:

“–Why haven’t you left yet?”

“–Why are you here?”

11 Drowning in the Bathtub

Both Mi Xue’er and Instructor Yu Xuan were reincarnators with excellent temperament control. Only a trace of unusual color flashed across their faces before they pretended nothing had happened and withdrew their chopsticks.

Yan Zhen, who was focused on eating, didn’t notice anything. He just said a word of thanks and then stuffed the pork elbow and diced chicken into his mouth one after another, munching on them. Then he gulped down a mouthful of sweet wine. With wine and meat, he was feeling great.

Yan Meng’er, who had witnessed this scene, became vigilant.

Instructor Yu Xuan was an elder, so she wouldn’t consider her for now, but Sister Xue’er seemed a bit suspicious.

Although Mi Xue’er had always been an enthusiastic and lively person, she had always been very sensible. To avoid misunderstandings, she wouldn’t be so intimate with the opposite sex.

Even though Yan Zhen had the relationship of Yan Ruyu and her, Mi Xue’er’s attitude was still a bit too enthusiastic.

Yan Meng’er remembered that in the previous life, Sister Xue’er had been strategizing for her elder cousin, teaching her how to capture Cousin Yan Zhen’s heart. She had never had intimate contact with Cousin Yan Zhen, but had maintained an appropriate distance very well.

But now it seemed different.

Yan Meng’er made a mental note.

She planned to break through to a new relationship with Cousin Yan Zhen together with her elder cousin before he graduated. Now it seemed that the plan needed to be accelerated, otherwise they might face more competitors.

Yan Meng’er glanced at her elder cousin and found that her expression was normal, not finding anything inappropriate at all.

The girl was instantly speechless. Her elder cousin was really too careless, not having any sense of vigilance at all. She would have to remind her later to prevent future troubles.

After all, when a best friend makes a move, it makes you uncomfortable.

Unlike her, this cousin, besides feeling distressed for her brother, would also feel distressed for her elder cousin.

However, she didn’t know that there was a voice constantly reminding Yan Ruyu in her mind:

Her good best friend Mi Xue’er also had secret feelings for Yan Zhen, but for her sake, she had buried her own feelings and fully assisted her. This time, she had to be happy together with her best friend.

Yan Ruyu couldn’t understand these words, only feeling it was strange. Moreover, she didn’t quite believe that Mi Xue’er also liked Yan Zhen, because Mi Xue’er had said that she liked older and more mature boys. Yan Zhen obviously didn’t meet the criteria.

After the small episode, the atmosphere became lively again. The four women ate and chatted, occasionally taking turns feeding Yan Zhen who was only focused on eating.

Each time they fed him, the four women had their own thoughts.

After eating their fill, the four women were slightly tipsy, their cheeks flushed, their eyes moist, looking even more charming than usual.

Yan Zhen felt a bit dizzy. Although the sweet wine wasn’t high in alcohol content, he had been drinking while eating meat. He ate a lot of meat and also drank a lot of wine. Coupled with his poor alcohol tolerance, he was already quite drunk.

The four women swiftly cleared the dining table and told Yan Zhen to go to the bathroom to take a bath.

Yan Zhen blinked dazedly a few times, his speech a bit slurred. “Is there a bathroom here?”

In this world, very few families built bathrooms. Usually, it was a shower stall + bathtub setup.

The mansion opposite didn’t have one. In the script, it was written that when he bathed, he soaked in a tub.

Mi Xue’er smiled charmingly. “I specially had someone build it. Not only did they dig a bathtub inside, but there’s also a mystic tool faucet for showering. First use the faucet to clean your body, then you can go soak in the bathtub. You can add bath salts to the bathtub, which can relieve fatigue very well. Go try it out.”

It sounded very modern.

Following Mi Xue’er’s instructions, Yan Zhen staggered to the bathroom and looked around with drowsy drunken eyes, nodding repeatedly.

Then he took off his clothes on the spot, tossing them around like a child, and walked naked under the faucet, turning on the equipment.

The faucet spewed out hot water, pouring down on his head. The warm sensation was very comfortable, but it also made his head even more muddled.

After showering for a while, Yan Zhen turned off the faucet and plunged into the bathtub filled with hot spring water. He leaned on a stone pillow made of volcanic rock and let out a contented sigh.

–Feels good~

–Don’t need to think about anything, just be a salted fish

–Gazing at the stars.jpg

Without realizing it, Yan Zhen fell asleep.

His body tilted and he fell into the bathtub.

Gurgle gurgle, vaguely, he was drowning.

Survival instinct made Yan Zhen about to wake up. However, the “Star Shifting Fire Seal” on his palm suddenly lit up, and his entire body was pulled into the crystal space, leaving only the iridescent crystal pendant suspended in the bathtub.

The uncomfortable feeling disappeared, replaced by a soft and fluffy “pillow”. Yan Zhen instantly fell into an even deeper sleep.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment. She had originally thought that her disciple had encountered some crisis, causing the Star Shifting Fire Seal to automatically activate and bring him in to take refuge. She didn’t expect that he had actually gotten drunk and drowned in the bathtub.

–What a silly disciple.

Seeing him lying comfortably on her lap with his bare upper body, his fair sleeping face revealing a hint of innocence, Chen Xi felt her heart melting bit by bit.

–So cute.

Chen Xi adjusted Yan Zhen’s position to make him more comfortable, but it caused the restless fellow to reveal his ferocious side.

Her cheeks heated up, her heart pounding faster. A primal desire also began to surge in her full bosom, causing her gaze to stay there, unmoving.

–This is too spirited.

After a brief consideration, Chen Xi still stretched out her hand and firmly grasped it.

The black sleeve fell, covering the embarrassing scene.

Chen Xi caressed his restlessness while gazing at Yan Zhen’s sleeping face. Unable to hold back, she lowered her head and softly kissed him.

In his sleep, Yan Zhen seemed to be particularly enjoying it. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his nasal cavity occasionally emitted low hums like sleep talk, teasing Chen Xi’s emotions.

After the four women cleaned up the dining room, they sat on chairs to rest for a while.

“It’s been so long, Little Brother Yan Zhen should have finished washing and returned to his room. Let’s also take turns to wash.” Mi Xue’er stretched out a big lazy stretch, her delicate body straining against her dress, her curves fully exposed. “Instructor worked the hardest in the kitchen, so let the instructor go first.”

Instructor Yu Xuan had originally wanted to politely yield to the newly arrived Yan Meng’er, but then she thought that Yan Zhen had just used the bathroom. Her heart heated up and she didn’t refuse.

“Then I’ll go first.”

Mi Xue’er suddenly said, “Instructor, can I wash together with you?”

Instructor Yu Xuan gave her a side-eye and ruthlessly replied with two words.

“No.”

Arriving at the bathroom, Instructor Yu Xuan saw men’s clothing scattered in the changing room, obviously all belonging to Yan Zhen.

“How did he take them off everywhere? He’s not a child anymore.”

She bent down and picked up the clothes from the floor one by one. When she picked up the last piece, which was the pair of boxer briefs, her movement paused and her expression became strange.

–No, no, no, what am I thinking? It’s just a pair of underwear.

She swiftly picked it up and put all the clothes into the laundry basket.

The door to the shower room was open, and there was no trace of Yan Zhen inside. Obviously, he had already finished washing and returned to his room.

–The water in the bathtub that he just soaked in…

Thinking of this, Instructor Yu Xuan’s cheeks started to heat up again. She slowly took off her dress, folded it neatly, then spread out a towel to cover her graceful naked body and walked in with elegant steps.
