Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Nonsense!” Sheng Xiao picked up a Moondew Fruit and stuffed it into Yu Huang’s mouth.

Gold Ingot smiled and praised, “That’s a good idea. I’ll tell the dean what you think next time we meet.”

“Thank you, Professor.”

Sheng Xiao remained silent. He did not like the topic.

Seeing Sheng Xiao sulking, Gold Ingot said, “The Cong Lang Mystic Realm appears once every 15 years. The hundred universities take up one thousand slots. The three major universities take one hundred each.”

Gold Ingot pointed at Yu Huang and said, “If you can enter the top 100 of the expert rankings by October next year, you will be able to obtain a spot to enter the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.”

Yu Huang licked her lips and suddenly had a new goal. “Don’t worry, Professor, I will definitely succeed!”

“Right, I forgot to congratulate you. You’re now ranked 497th on the Expert Rankings.” Gold Ingot grinned as he looked at Yu Huang, and then he said, “Congratulations! You’ve become the first student in the history of our Divine Realm Academy to enter the Expert Rankings as a new student.”

Yu Huang’s face heated up from the praise. “Professor, we can’t be proud. We can show off when I get first place.”

Gold Ingot smirked at Sheng Xiao and said, “She wants to kick you out of first place. She’s young, but she’s quite arrogant.”

Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang with a burning gaze. “Do you really want to be ranked first?”

“Yeah.”

Sheng Xiao suddenly smiled. “I’ll wait for that day.”

Gold Ingot left after sitting for a while. Before he left, he told Yu Huang, “I forgot to tell you that you have to pay 10 points for a day in the sanatorium.”

Yu Huang’s expression instantly darkened when she heard this.

She asked Sheng Xiao, “I have to be deducted points when I’m in the hospital?” Yu Huang found it unbelievable. She lifted the blanket and was about to leave. “No, I can’t waste my points here.”

Before Yu Huang could lift the blanket, she saw Sheng Xiao reaching out his hand.

He held a point card in his slender fingers.

It was his point card.

Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao and asked him with a nonchalant smile, “What are you doing? Are you planning to keep me?”

Sheng Xiao remained silent.

He stuffed the point card into Yu Huang’s arms and took out his personal bank card from his interspatial ring as well as dozens of other random things.

Sheng Xiao placed them on the floor beside the bed.

Yu Huang sat on the bed and looked at the items. She recognized that they were all high-grade spirit weapons. If they were brought to an auction house, the customers would go crazy.

Yu Huang looked confused. She raised her head and asked Sheng Xiao, “Are you showing off how rich you are to me?” Did he think that she was poor and could not even afford a low-grade spiritual weapon?

Sheng Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the pile of treasures on the ground. He said, “These are the most valuable things I have collected over the past twenty years. Points cards, bank cards, and various spiritual weapons.”

Yu Huang waved her hand and said angrily, “Alright, alright. I know you’re very rich. Stop showing off.”

“Tm not showing off,” said Sheng Xiao.

Yu Huang was so angry that she almost laughed. “You’re displaying all your treasures. Aren’t you showing off to me? What are you doing?”

Sheng Xiao’s ears turned red. His lips quivered a few times before he said awkwardly, “I want to give them all to you.”

Yu Huang was stunned.

Sheng Xiao packed all those things and stored them in a small space ring. He stuffed the ring into Yu Huang’’s hand and looked down into her eyes while telling her, “In the past, I treated them as treasures, but now, I’ve met a treasure I want to cherish even more.”

“Yu Huang, I want to give all my treasures to you.” Sheng Xiao’s face turned even redder after he said that. Even his neck turned red. The mole beside his Adam’s apple became even darker. It gave him a different kind of allure.

Yu Huang was speechless.

She let out a deep breath.

Fuck!

After living for more than 200 years, someone finally dared to confess to her!

After living for more than two hundred years, her skin should be thicker than a tree bark. But, she felt shy after receiving Sheng Xiao’s confession.

Perhaps even the oldest woman would become a naive child when she was in love.

Yu Huang lowered her head to look at the ring in her palm. She felt that this ring was especially hot to the touch.

“You…” Sheng Xiao clenched his pants nervously.” Are you not willing to be my girlfriend? ”

Yu Huang suddenly returned the ring to Sheng Xiao. “Keep this ring.”

Sheng Xiao’s eyes flickered. He was shocked.

Had he been… rejected?

This was the first time he had fallen head over heels for a girl. It took him several days to muster up the courage to confess

However, Yu Huang rejected him!

Sheng Xiao was sad. His brown eyes gradually darkened. The skin on his forehead felt hot. Suddenly, two dragon hors appeared.

He had lost control of his spiritual power!

Yu Huang stared at the pair of dragon horns on Sheng Xiao’s forehead. She held back her laughter and said, “If we get any treasures in the future, we will store them inside. When our child is born, we will play with them like toys.”

Child?

Sheng Xiao was stunned. Then, a layer of black dragon scales covered his exposed skin. He lost control of his spiritual power even more!

Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “Il go out for a while!” He held the ring and ran out in a panic. She did not know what he was doing.

Sheng Xiao was in high spirits. He had nowhere to use his spiritual power. He ran straight to the Mission Hall and snatched three A-rank mission cards. Then, he rushed to carry out the mission.

Sheng Xiao stayed in the forest at the back of the mountain for the whole night. The strong demonic beasts were also tortured by him.

The next morning, Sheng Xiao went to charge the point card with the three tasks and eared 150 points in one go.

Thus, during breakfast, everyone was discussing this matter—

“Theard that Senior Sheng completed the three most difficult A-rank missions last night!”

“Senior Sheng is awesome!”

“Twas also on a mission at the back of the mountain last night. I saw Senior Sheng fighting with that level 6 demon beast with my own eyes. Good lord, that was simply earth-shattering.”

“Why wasn’t Senior Sheng sleeping in the middle of the night? Why was he on a mission? Did something happen to him?”

What kind of trauma did he suffer?

‘There was a sudden silence in the canteen.

“Perhaps, Senior Sheng is happy to see Xuanyuan Jing being struck by lightning?” The person who spoke was very soft, but because the canteen was too quiet, his words were still heard by many people.

“That’s… possible.”

Xuanyuan Jing was Yu Huang’s ex-fiancé and was Senior Sheng’s love rival. It was normal for Senior Sheng to be so happy that he couldn’t sleep.

The more they analyzed, the more convinced they were.

Yin Rong sat by the window and ate her breakfast. When she heard the content of their discussion, she couldn’t help but take out a pen and quickly write on a notebook.

No one knew that Yin Rong was taking notes.

She was going to write down all the gossip between Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang. When the school break came, they would return her phone and computer to her. She would write the recorded content into a novel and upload it to the Beast Tamer website.

Yin Rong was the boss of the Beast Tamer website’s novel section. She had tens of thousands of fans. If she didn’t produce food soon, the users on the forum would be lonely.

Yin Rong finished her recording and sent the tray to the recycling area. Then, she walked toward the entrance of the canteen. She saw Sheng Xiao walking toward her from the counter.

Yin Rong stopped and respectfully called out, “Senior Sheng.”

Sheng Xiao was in a good mood. Not only did he nod at her, he even stopped and said, “Morning.”

Yin Rong was flattered.

Seeing that Sheng Xiao was not leaving, Yin Rong racked her brains and said, “I heard that Senior Sheng completed three difficult Class A missions alone last night. Congratulations, Senior Sheng.”

Sheng Xiao smiled at her and said, “I couldn’t help it. The hospital fees are expensive. You can’t afford to stay in the hospital if you don’t earn some points.” Then, he strode into the canteen.

‘When Yin Rong heard this, her eyes instantly lit up.

Sheng Xiao was not sick. Naturally, he did not need to be hospitalized. Who would need to be hospitalized? It would be Yu Huang!

While Yu Huang was hospitalized, Senior Sheng Xiao was busy doing missions overnight to earn points. It meant that they were really together and that they used each other’s points!

Yin Rong was extremely excited as she quickly opened the cap and wrote a few more words on her notebook before leaving in satisfaction.

After knowing that she needed points to stay in the hospital, Yu Huang only stayed in the hospital for four days before preparing to be discharged.

Yu Huang’s body had not fully recovered, so it was not suitable for her to walk. However, there was no elevator in the student dormitory, and her dormitory was on the sixth floor.

Yu Huang was considering if she should change dormitories with the girl on the first floor for a while. Sheng Xiao knew what she was worried about. He said, “Come and stay with me. I can take care of you.”

Yu Huang shook her head and rejected him on the spot. “I’m just a girl. How can I stay ina male dormitory?”

Sheng Xiao told her, “I don’t live in the dormitory anymore. I live in the staff dormitory now. There’s an elevator there and the environment is peaceful. It’s more suitable for you to recuperate.”

Three years ago, Feng Si’s brother Feng Zhen sneaked into Sheng Xiao’s dormitory to steal his snacks because he was too hungry. Sheng Xiao realized that there was no privacy in the dormitory and changed it not long after.

Yu Huang had always thought that the staff dormitory was only for staff members. When she found out that Sheng Xiao was staying there too, she could not help but feel puzzled. “Why can you stay in the staff dormitory?”

Sheng Xiao explained, “The staff dormitory has been recruiting students for rent. It only costs 1000 points a year.”

One thousand points was equivalent to one hundred beginner-level missions, fifty primary-level missions, thirty intermediate-level missions, and twenty A-level missions! And Sheng Xiao said that he only needed one thousand points!

He was indeed rich!

“How many points do you have?” Yu Huang was curious about Sheng Xiao’s assets.

Sheng Xiao thought about it and shook his head. “I don’t remember. Anyway, even if I stay in the most expensive dormitory and eat the most expensive dishes, I won’t be able to spend it all in two years.”

Yu Huang fell silent.

Was he even human?

While others had to work hard to earn points for survival, Sheng Xiao had not only stayed in the staff dormitory, but also saved a large sum of money in his card.

The comparison was infuriating!
