Chapter 70: Don’t Tell Him!

"Brother Jiang, why are you here yourself? Where’s Brother Mo?" A woman’s voice suddenly rose from behind.

Jiang Zihan was startled by that voice and instinctively skipped to the side before turning his head toward that direction. When he realized it was Shen Qingyi, he immediately let out a long breath before muttering, "It’s just Qingyi... Good thing it’s not Shiyan..."

Shen Qingyi was a bit confused by his words until she lowered her head and noticed the piece of fried chicken that Jiang Zihan held in his hand. Then she looked toward his other hand, which he was holding a whole bag of fried chicken.

She was stunned for a moment before whispering, "Brother Jiang... you’re secretly eating fried chicken again. If Brother Mo finds out, he’ll be super angry about it."

Hearing her words, Jiang Zihan hurriedly stuffed that piece of fried chicken into his mouth before he quickly walked in front of her and forced a smile on his face. "Qingyi, I know that you’re a very nice person. Can you not tell Shiyan that you saw me today...?" he asked tentatively.

Shen Qingyi let out a sigh. "Brother Jiang, this is the fifth time you’ve eaten fried chicken this week. Brother Mo had just told us yesterday to keep an eye on you so that you won’t eat so much of this unhealthy food."

"But—"

Jiang Zihan tried to persuade Shen Qingyi, but before he had the chance to do so, a man’s voice came from behind. "Zihan, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Zihan immediately froze in place. Shen Qingyi immediately stepped back and whispered the words ’good luck’ in his ear before she quickly walked away.

Wait! Don’t go! Don’t leave me alone facing Shiyan!

However, Shen Qingyi wasn’t able to hear his inner thoughts and walked away even faster. He had no other way but to turn around stiffly and meet Mo Shiyan’s eyes.

Mo Shiyan raised an eyebrow, wanting to know what he planned to say. Jiang Zihan opened his mouth, wanting to explain, then closed it again. I really don’t know how I can explain my actions!

The little "Jiang Zihan" in Mo Shiyan’s mind turned around in circles thoughtfully as sweat rolled down his forehead and dropped to the floor.

At the end, Mo Shiyan let out a sigh and walked forward. Seeing this, Jiang Zihan instinctively wanted to step back, but somehow forced himself to stand in place.

"Just this once. Don’t let it happen again," Mo Shiyan replied, his voice sounding a bit helpless.

"Then the fried chicken...?"

"Once every week... no more than that," Mo Shiyan replied.

A bright smile immediately appeared on Jiang Zihan’s face. He jumped up and down because of how happy he was feeling. Then his smile froze when he noticed that the people walking back were staring at him curiously, so he immediately stopped and turned his head to the side, the tips of his ears painted red from embarrassment.

Even so, Mo Shiyan was still able to see how happy Jiang Zihan was when the little "Jiang Zihan" in his mind had been jumping up and down in celebration. That caused a light smile to appear on his face, though Jiang Zihan did not notice.

It had been almost a month since they attended the auction. Time flies by faster than they had expected, and in just a blink of an eye, the Freshmen Showcase Tournament is coming up. In the previous month, Jiang Zihan had followed the same routine of shuttling back and forth between training with his teammates and attending classes.

He had also spent some time trying to identify why the sword had resonated with the space within his body. However, ever since the day of the auction, there had not been any reactions at all, which even made him think that it might just be his illusion. But the good news is that he was able to successfully awaken the sword’s Domain.

[Domain Name: Eternal Ice

Domain Effects: All enemies within the Domain have their movement speed reduced by 50%, while the caster’s movement speed is increased by 50%.

Enemies within the Domain would be continuously affected by the decrease in temperature, causing them to slowly use up their magical energy. As time continues, it would require more magical energy to protect the enemies from the continuous decrease in temperature. This effect would not affect the caster.]

The first time Jiang Zihan awakened the Domain, he had been so surprised about its effect, as he did not expect it to be such a useful skill. However, being able to activate the Domain smoothly had been much more difficult than he thought, so except for the training within the training fields and his time attending class, he had nearly spent the rest of his time exploring this Domain and could finally control it loosely.

"Let’s go over there then. I want a cup of black sugar milk tea!"

Sensing Mo Shiyan’s indulgence, Jiang Zihan immediately took advantage of the situation and grabbed Mo Shiyan by the wrist to pull him over to the milk tea shop.

Sensing how happy Jiang Zihan was right now, he was stunned for a moment before letting him pull him over.

Jiang Zihan was having so much fun that he nearly forgot the time. When they got back to the dorm from shopping, it had already passed midnight. Mo Shiyan placed the bags he had been holding on the table before walking toward the kitchen to prepare for their dinner... if it could still be called dinner.

Jiang Zihan originally wanted to lay down on the sofa and take a break, but seeing that Mo Shiyan was working in the kitchen, he felt a little guilty about leaving him to do everything. He quickly followed him into the kitchen and asked, "Shiyan, is there anything I could do?"

Mo Shiyan just planned to say ’no’. But seeing the expression on Jiang Zihan’s face, he ended up pointing to the sink and asking, "Can you wash the vegetables then?"
