Chapter 946 - 946 The Luo King Wants to Rob the Cradle
Why does Luo Xiangling have such enormous popularity at the War God Academy.
That is because the ancient supreme figures of the academy are either white-haired old men, or lofty, mysterious, and aloof existences.
Only this Lord Luo is rumored to possess the appearance of a celestial maiden, breathtakingly beautiful, and unlike the other quasi-immortals who inspire awe and dread.
Even more importantly, this Lord Luo has never had a cultivation partner and has always been alone.
For all these reasons, Luo Xiangling's popularity at the War God Academy has reached an absolute peak.
She could simply be described as a goddess-like existence.
Whatever heavenly maidens or imperial daughters the academy had all looked immature and dim in comparison to Luo Xiangling.
After all, who wouldn't want to say, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore"?
Not to mention that this Luo Xiangling was an "older auntie" who was beautiful to the extreme.
Looks, power, strength, and status — she had it all.
How could anyone not adore a divine elder sister like her?
Once the news spread, the entire War God Academy was in an uproar.
Then more news came out.
Luo Xiangling had actually wanted to take Jun Xiaoyao as her disciple.
But Jun Xiaoyao had refused.
This left countless male disciples of the academy utterly speechless.
"This Chaos Body is genuinely something else — he even turned down a personal invitation from Lord Luo."
"Heh, his head must be broken. If it were me, I'd be begging on my knees for Lord Luo to take me in."
"Exactly, he really doesn't know how to seize an opportunity."
Many male disciples talked about it with envy.
But the next piece of news left those male disciples completely stunned, unable to mock anymore.
"What, that Chaos Body is actually living together with Lord Luo!?"
This news sent shockwaves through both the inner and outer courts of the entire War God Academy.
A single man and a single woman, sharing the same residence.
Although the two had a vast gap in status and strength.
But many people were well aware of Jun Xiaoyao's bearing and charm.
Not to mention that it was Luo Xiangling who had recommended Jun Xiaoyao to become a quasi-war god.
That made it all very intriguing.
"Could it be that Lord Luo… wants to rob the cradle?"
"Nonsense, what kind of transcendent existence is Lord Luo? Even if the Chaos Body is unrivaled among the younger generation, he probably doesn't carry much weight in her eyes, right?"
"Let's hope so, otherwise my heart will shatter."
"What heart? The Chaos Body has no chance, and you have even less."
When news broke that the two were living together, a whole crowd of people were heartbroken.
The men were heartbroken because of Luo Xiangling.
The women were heartbroken, naturally, because of Jun Xiaoyao.
That white-robed figure sweeping all before him at the mountain gate had long since captured the hearts of countless women.
Giving them someone to dream about on lonely nights.
Inside an exquisite and magnificent pavilion within the War God Academy.
"What, Sensei is living with Lord Luo!?"
Tushan Chunchun was far from calm — extremely far from calm.
The nine fluffy fox tails behind her swished back and forth in agitation.
Upon hearing that Jun Xiaoyao and Lord Luo were living in the same place, Tushan Chunchun felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety and irritation.
"Miss Chunchun, Sensei is not that kind of casual person. He is probably just cultivating there."
Fei Qingxue, who was also present, spoke up.
After Tushan Chunchun's true identity was revealed, the way she was addressed had changed as well.
"Right, Sensei is definitely not that kind of ordinary person. I heard that Lord Luo is very beautiful — how beautiful exactly?" Tushan Chunchun crossed her arms and pouted.
"Fifth Sister, I heard that young master is with Lord Luo — hasn't he come back yet?"
Tushan Wanwan arrived at the door.
She was also a little anxious.
They had previously agreed to spar with Jun Xiaoyao, but for a while now there had been no sign of him.
Hearing this, Tushan Chunchun felt even more sullen.
Then, as if a thought struck her, her big eyes lit up.
"Right, let's just go tell Elder Mu directly and have Sensei come out to see us."
With that thought, Tushan Chunchun rushed out impatiently.
Watching this, Tushan Wanwan shook her head slightly.
"The spouse-seeking event isn't far off. What is this girl going to do when the time comes."
……
Deep within the War God Academy.
In a purple bamboo grove, a small bridge over a flowing stream, a quiet dwelling.
During this time, Jun Xiaoyao had been cultivating and meditating.
Or engaging in deep exchanges with Luo Xiangling.
Honestly, the experience of a quasi-immortal was invaluable.
Many great figures gave lectures that only quasi-war gods were qualified to attend.
However, Jun Xiaoyao and Luo Xiangling were not in a typical master-disciple relationship.
Jun Xiaoyao had forged his own path and possessed a Dao that was uniquely his own.
His breadth of vision and understanding of the Dao equally benefited Luo Xiangling greatly.
Gradually, Luo Xiangling no longer interacted with Jun Xiaoyao from the stance of a senior or a great figure.
Instead, the two conversed more like equals, a man and a woman on the same level.
"Xiaoyao, some of your insights truly give me a feeling of sudden enlightenment."
After another exchange, Luo Xiangling's bright eyes shone, the corners of her lips curling slightly, a faint joy in her expression.
For some reason, being around Jun Xiaoyao felt easy, harmonious, and comfortable.
It was a feeling she had never experienced before.
"Senior Xiangling's words have equally been an awakening for Xiaoyao." Jun Xiaoyao smiled as well.
Just then, Luo Xiangling's brow shifted slightly, and she said calmly, "Someone is coming outside."
Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod and stepped outside.
The one who appeared was Elder Mu.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao come out, Elder Mu's eyes lit up.
Compared to before, Jun Xiaoyao's bearing had become even more celestial, and there was a sense of refinement about him, even more transcendent.
"It seems that during this time, conversing with Lord Luo has greatly benefited you, my friend." Elder Mu said warmly.
"I've gained something, yes. May I ask what brings Elder Mu here?"
"It is the princess of the Tushan Imperial Clan, who wishes for you to come over." Elder Mu said.
Ordinarily, Elder Mu would not bother with requests from regular academy disciples.
But since it was the Tushan Imperial Clan, some courtesy was warranted.
"Understood." Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod.
He had been living so leisurely here lately that he had nearly forgotten about that little white-haired loli.
Jun Xiaoyao returned inside and explained the matter.
"If you have something to attend to, then go." Luo Xiangling said lightly.
"Xiaoyao takes his leave." Jun Xiaoyao cupped his hands slightly, turned, and walked out of the courtyard.
Yet the corners of his lips curved into a faint smile.
It worked out perfectly — he also needed to step away from Luo Xiangling for a bit.
Among the thirty-six stratagems, there is one called: let go in order to capture.
It was actually quite simple — first let the girl grow accustomed to your presence.
Subtly, make her used to you being there.
Then suddenly leave, causing a hollow feeling in her heart, as if something has been lost.
The longer you are gone, the more her mind will wander?
This move had never failed.
"Leave her be for now — distance makes the heart grow fonder." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Let Luo Xiangling sit with it for a while.
A little absence play wasn't bad at all.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao made his way to the pavilion where Tushan Chunchun and the others were.
"Sensei!"
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao appear, Tushan Chunchun's face broke into an expression of pure delight.
Like a swallow returning to its nest, she rushed to Jun Xiaoyao's side.
"Sensei, what have you been up to all this time?" Tushan Chunchun asked, blinking her big eyes.
"Ahem, my stomach hasn't been great lately, so I've been eating a bit of soft rice." Jun Xiaoyao gave a dry cough and said.
