The girl in the yellow dress was slightly flushed, and her shyness showed through in her words, “I-I’m Meng Xiaohe, gre-greetings. Also a fellow new student……”
Qi Guan Rui was extremely irritated internally, yet he still kept a smile on the surface, “Miss Meng, greetings.”
He didn’t deny the assumption of being a new student.
Or else……was he supposed to just let her go and see Zi Ju Shu Bai?
The girl in the yellow dress lowered her head slightly, exposing a section of snow white-neck. The angle was alluring, yet also pure, “Since, since we’re classmates, for the hunt that is to come soon, I wonder if……we could, uh, aid each other……”
She was a very shy girl, so to be able to go this far with her invite, she’d already spent a lot of energy on it.
Qi Guan Rui didn’t show any signs of appreciating the girl’s obvious affections, he only looked at Meng Xiaohe with the thought of making her leave quickly.
As for the girl’s flowing feelings……what were those?
So, he continued to speak with a smile, “As for Miss Meng’s kindness, I appreciate the thought. But I still need to think about it first, so……”
Meng Xiaohe was a bit disappointed.
But she also knew that she was quite blunt, with the reservations she had as a petite girl, she decided to give up for the time being.
“Is that so……then, then I shall bid my goodbye.”
Qi Guan Rui continued to smile.
Meng Xiaohe stood for a little longer, then finally left reluctantly.
All of the above was seen by Gu Bai.
Qi Guan Rui watched Meng Xiaohe leave, turned, and was ready to walk back inside.
Then, he saw the corner of a white clothing.
That was……Zi Ju Shu Bai.
Why did he suddenly feel a bit strange?
Gu Bai was currently clenching his teeth, it was only when the light in front of him was blocked, that he finally realized his peeking-target had found him 囧.
“……Xiao Shan.”
Qi Guan Rui smiled very brightly, “Gege, let’s go back inside.”
Gu Bai glanced downwards.
You brat, could you be any more accurate at grabbing my hand?! Don’t make it so natural!
Don’t think I’d let you off the hook just because you’re acting obedient now!
Once the two entered, the female servant who was already “invisible” in the corner left and closed the door without a single sound.
Look at how well-trained she was!
Qi Guan Rui smiled kindly, “Gege, let me wipe your hair for you.”
He finished, then got a dry towel, lightly placing it on the head full of waterfall-like long black hair.
There were silky sensations from the tips of his finger, giving him a slight feeling of itchiness.
It seemed to have already started itching from his heart though.
Gu Bai squinted his eyes, enjoying it very much.
Gu Xiao Shan’s skills have gotten better and better, it sure feels like I’m gonna be ground up from the strokes.
……No, wait!
Didn’t he still have an unasked question?!
Gu Bai’s body that had gone a little bit soft straightened up instantly, “Xiao Shan, who was that just now?”
Qi Guan Rui’s fingers didn’t stop, he quirked a brow, “Heard her name was Meng Xiaohe……why, does Gege know her?”
If he knew her, then, he should go implant a gu after all.
Since the last accident with Wei Wu, he’d put up some guards against this Qing Tian Academy. He also wouldn’t let out snake gu to possess people in the academy so easily
In case someone realized and exposed his existence.
Gu Bai didn’t catch onto Qi Guan Rui’s tone at all, his full attention was focused on that girl’s name.
Meng Xiaohe.
Fuck, what kind of character was he?!
This has already been said before, in the stallion pig feet[1] (psycho protagonist)’s beautiful harem, those in the top ranking were without a doubt, the one empress, two concubines, four fairies, and the eight great beauties. It had already been unlucky enough when they’d met that freaking Yun Menglian from before, and now they were meeting one of the four fairies, Meng Xiaohe.
That’s right, the Pure Water Fairy, Meng Xiaohe.
Just like Yun Menglian who was a white lotus, Meng Xiaohe’s name literally showed that she was “a lotus bud showing a lil’ sharp point” type.
But how could our author, who vowed to write a great stallion, only be satisfied with the pure, shyness displays?
There must also be a blackening!
In reality, Meng Xiaohe had……a double personality.
She was almost like Lupin[2] who would turn into a wolf every full moon. Every time, on the first day of each month, where Meng Xiaohe couldn’t see the moon, she would automatically transform into a type of seduction monster——specially set for luring man in to suck all their essences out, then in the end, she would also also dug the other’s heart to suppress the chaotic blood flow.
That’s right, just just like the psycho protagonist’s Sky Devouring Python Blood. Meng Xiaohe’s awakened form was from the blood of a species of Moon Worshipping Fox[3].
The ones who inherited that specie of blood all had double personalities, and their personalities were usually all drastically different……this also counted as a contrast cuteness for the author so ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Since ancient times, the Moon Worshiping Fox clan had always been attached to the Sky Devouring Python clan, so once they saw an inheritance of the Sky Devouring Python Bloodline, they would fall in love at first sight without fail.
But of course, aside from the protagonist being Meng Xiaohe’s subpersonality’s true love, Moon Worshiping Foxes loved all the beautiful men in the world, but all those beautiful men would definitely become cannon fodder.
In that instant, Gu Bai felt like he had been hit by the greatest evil intention from the universe.
Why did he always meet the most ferocious chicks from the protagonist’s harem?!
Sure, gotta kneel for that one……
At that time, Qi Guan Rui had already finished wiping his hair dry for him, he walked to his front, “Gege, what’s wrong?”
By now, with just one look, he could already see that Zi Ju Shu Bai was falling into some kind of mood again.
Gu Bai came back to his senses, his eyes sparkled lightly as they looked at Qi Guan Rui.
His feelings were currently very complicated.
Gu Xiao Shan, this kid, was always quite good looking, but no matter how good he looked, in Meng Xiaohe’s heart, he couldn’t even be compared to a toe of the psycho protagonist. If he fell into this stupid adolescent love, then that would definitely be life-threatening, okay?!
But how could he say it in a way that didn’t harm his pure, little heart……
Qi Guan Rui was very helpless.
He thought he was already great at reading other people, but why was Zi Ju Shu Bai always so hard to figure out…?
“……Gege?”
Gu Bai sighed.
Qi Guan Rui’s eyes suddenly widened.
That, that, that was a real sigh! Even though his face was still stoic, the sigh was super obvious!
Gu Bai spoke, “Xiao Shan, you’re still young.”
Qi Guan Rui: “?”
Gu Bai raised his hand, rubbing Qi Guan Rui’s head, “When taking actions, think thrice before proceeding.”
Change a chick to love, hun! Or else Ge can only go pick up a corpse with a huge hole in its chest after the first day of whatever month!
Qi Guan Rui didn’t understand, but he was already very used to this kind of confusion.
So, he smiled warmly, “I heard Miss Meng mentioning some sort of hunting event, does Gege know about it?”
How could Gu Bai not know about something he wrote himself.
The hunt was something that basically every satisfactory novel on this website had, it was just a big group of people who ran hoo la la into a barren mountain or some sacred ground place. You kill me, I kill you, everyone also had to kill some beasts, monsters, mythical creatures, all types of strange villains and such. And in the end, you turn in anything like neidan, head, finger, ear, body parts, or any other stuff that could prove your kill counts.
Without a doubt, the goal was to make others eat their own words and set up the protagonists’ heroic figure for them, or they would act as pigs while eating tigers. Basically, there were varieties of satisfying content from the monster-fighting route where the protagonist would end up with a bunch of goodies in the end. The protagonist could either become overpowered, be surrounded by endless pretty girls, become rich from making a sound, or get a huge increase in fashion points. Basically, the authors just wrote all the satisfying details without much thought and the readers were all enticed in different ways.
So, of course, Gu Bai also wrote such contents.
Plus, because it was a satisfying stallion novel, he didn’t just give the psycho protagonist a gold finger or gold leg, but an imposing gold body. So, the psycho protagonist received not only most of the goodies mentioned above, he slept with a couple of chicks while also moving up places in a few beautiful chick’s hearts.
But……
Gu Bai looked at Qi Guan Rui, feeling even more conflicted than ever, “She invited you?”
In the process of waiting for the answer, he really wished he could just grab Qi Guan Rui’s collar to shake him violently and say, ‘Tell me! Quick! She was emotionless, she was cold, she was being unreasonable! Did she invite you? Just kwickly tell me!’
Qi Guan Rui nodded his head instinctively, “Yes.”
Gu Bai: “……”
You definitely can’t go, boi! Or else I’ll have to light a candle for you, hun!
Qi Guan Rui quickly smiled, “But I refused it.”
Good work, boi!
Gu Bai said: “You will go with me tomorrow.”
Qi Guan Rui spoke affectionately, “I’ll do whatever Gege says.”
Gu Bai let out a breath.
That chick was truly too ferocious, just because the death toll of the hunt was uncountable, subconsciously, in order to satisfy her sub-personality, she would invite some guys who were obviously interested in her to hunt together. The times were usually set around the three days before and after the first day of a month, there were always one or two deaths, she was basically a death-chick!
Aside from the protagonist who transformed into a great python the instant that the chick’s sub-personality came out, suppressing her to kneel with just the form’s intimidation, no one else had ever escaped her.
But the chick’s aura and face were all too alluring, it was still enough to make many innocent boys fly into the fire like a moth……
Gu Xiao Shan was obviously invited as the target of her feast this time, there would definitely only be one result if he went.
As the elder brother, Gu Bai felt that he needed to up his protection.
So, for Gu Bai, who originally planned on going hunting soon, he thought that there wasn’t anything better than keeping Gu Xiao Shan by his side at all times.
Five days later, it was the tenth day of the month, very far from the two most likely periods that the chick would enter the mountain.
Gu Bai was very pleased, even though the chick’s subpersonality’s strength was only on the same playing field as him when she first entered the academy, he should still try to avoid connections as much as possible. So that it wouldn’t disturb the plotline, right?
For Gu Bai, who’d been long coveting the Manual Tower, how could he be satisfied with the rule that new Wu Jun students could only read the first floor manuals?
So, it was very much necessary for him to advance his level of reading manuals.
Hunting was without a doubt, one of the best methods.
One needed to know that this world had many types of beasts and creatures. Aside from the small percentage that could be tamed, all the others were basically against martial practitioners. There was a great curvy mountain range on the outside of Hao Yang City, different ferocious beasts hid there.
Those beasts reproduced very quickly, if they didn’t eliminate them on a regular basis and let them rest in peace for a while, they would become overpopulated, threatening the destruction of Hao Yang City. So, the students of Qing Tian Academy were without a doubt, the best helpers one could get to kill them.
Under normal circumstances, each year, students who were at Wu Jun level had to kill at least three beasts, also of Wu Jun level. Which were three Ancient Beasts, and every time one killed two more than required, they could move up a floor in the Manual Tower until they reached the tenth or even up to the fifteenth floor, then it would close off.
Gu Bai had already finished reading everything on the first floor in the first month of being there, so of course, he couldn’t wait to get onto the second floor.
Seriously……there was nothing as important as a person’s own true strength.
After finally deciding, Gu Bai prepared some necessary items, refused the female servants’ company, then went to the mountain range outside of the city with Qi Guan Rui.
