Chapter 497 - 232 Departure to Demon City to Participate in the National League!_1
This Gu guy is indeed problematic.
Perched upon a dense Sky-reaching Forest Giant, Su Yan was observing from a vantage point thousands of meters away, clearly making out the content on Gu Feng’s phone screen.
Ever since his family had suddenly disappeared, he had maintained a certain level of vigilance towards everyone he encountered. Whether it was Jiu Li, who had lived with him for many days, or Qin Yao, who had lived with him for fewer days, he had doubted whether they harbored unspeakable secrets or had approached him on purpose. As for Gu Feng, a man who made his first appearance confronting Old Shu’s shell, Su Yan had been suspicious of him from the start. And the scene before him now further confirmed that there was something very wrong with this person named Gu Feng.
The only pity was that he didn’t know who exactly the friend marked as ’Miss’ in his Feixin was. Jiu Li? Qin Yao? An Shihua? Xu Xinyi? Or was it one of his three sisters who had suddenly disappeared, or that mysterious mother?
For a moment, these potential suspects flashed through Su Yan’s mind. Since he had transmigrated to this Evolution World known as The Playful Mountains and Rivers Classics, these were the women he had come into contact with the most.
...
Time flew, days and months like shuttles.
In the blink of an eye, the date reached June 10th. By then, the anomaly Jingdou had experienced had temporarily subsided. The entire city had once again returned to its usual prosperous and thriving state.
In the Jing University Principal’s office, the principal sat at his desk, smiling as he asked the few students before him, "In a few days, we’ll have the national university student league. As contestants, how well have you all prepared? Are you confident?"
Facing the Jing University Principal’s inquiry, the students in front of the desk remained silent. Su Zicheng, Qiu Ziluo, and Liu Xiaoman had nothing to say; they just tilted their heads slightly to look at Su Yan beside them. They knew they had lost the right to answer. If this were before the university’s internal selection competition, they could have confidently guaranteed they would fight for first or secure second place. But after Su Yan thrashed them in the internal selection, they had begun to doubt their evolutionary paths and had lost some of their competitive edge.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Yan reluctantly answered, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to achieve a decent result."
"Su Yan, I have high hopes for you," the Jing University Principal said with a satisfied smile.
In the few minutes that followed, seeing that the students weren’t inclined to talk, the Jing University Principal lost the desire for idle chat. He quickly dismissed them, telling them to go back and rest well.
After they had walked some distance, the Jing University Principal said with some worry, "This year’s national university student league is in Demon City; it’s an away game. I just don’t know if Su Yan, as a freshman, can withstand the pressure of Demon City’s home-field advantage. I hope he can perform as usual."
The pressure of competing away from home is immense, and many students are easily affected, especially those from Jing University. As old rivals of Demon University, they are undoubtedly the group under the most pressure. Therefore, the Jing University Principal was somewhat concerned.
...
After leaving the principal’s office, Su Yan took out his phone to check the time. It was only half-past ten in the morning, with over an hour before he needed to head back for lunch. So, with nothing better to do, he decided to take a stroll to Jing University’s library and see if there were any good books he could study.
However, on his way to the library, Qin Yao called him back to the dorm. She said she had made some pre-lunch dessert and asked him to hurry back to try it.
A girlfriend’s request is not to be refused.
Soon, Su Yan returned to the dorm with a reluctant expression, where he saw Qin Yao, dressed loosely, busy with something in the kitchen. Probably making a cake or something similar, he thought.
"Need any help?" Su Yan asked, leaning against the kitchen doorway and smiling at Qin Yao’s enticing figure from behind.
Still busy, Qin Yao answered in a sweet voice, "No need, just go sit outside and wait to eat."
"Alright, thanks for your hard work then," Su Yan said, looking quite content.
Watching Qin Yao’s graceful figure, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.
Having a rich little girlfriend like her is truly a score, even a jackpot. She’s really capable. Skilled in all kinds of housework and an expert at making various desserts. She’s just too lovable.
It’s just that she’s wearing less and less clothing, and her style seems to be getting quite sultry, Su Yan mused to himself. During the days they had been living together, he had noticed Qin Yao’s attire becoming increasingly casual—not in terms of style, but in how loosely she wore her clothes. Often, she would only wear a top, yet call it a dress.
Su Yan knew Qin Yao was using her revealing attire to strongly hint at things. Unfortunately, I’m still a pseudo-gentleman with pretty good restraint. I just ignore the revealing attire, refusing any meaningless temptations. Women, once they’ve had a taste, they just can’t stop, Su Yan sighed inwardly, then walked over to the living room sofa and sat down.
The national university student league is tomorrow. Since I still have some time, I should surf the internet for a bit and relax. As for information about my opponents... To be honest, there’s no need to gather any. If a Mythical creature like me can’t dominate and win the championship, I might as well find a hole and bury myself.
