In the early morning, Tongtong, who was still half-awake, rolled over on her bed… it was time to get up. Although she didn’t know what time it was, it was probably around 6 o’clock- comparable to the time when she would’ve ordinarily gone to school. Well, it’s always better to be early than late on her first day of class.

From her closet, she took out a green robe and put it on and set the clothes Little Ding had given her when she first arrived in the back of the closet. After washing her face, Tongtong tied her hair back, revealing a bright and full forehead. As she gazed at her reflection in the water, she knew her face had no special features, but put all together, the combination was still rather attractive! The key point is youthful vitality, looking like an energized person!

Yes, first impressions have added 10 points! Let’s go, Tongtong!

After encouraging herself, she pushed open the garden door and vigorously walked out the door. A few steps later, she felt embarrassed on the spot… A very serious problem arose: Who would tell her how to go to the school grounds?

In the end, this foolish girl spent an hour traversing mountains and rivers, entering all sorts of palaces and gardens, until she found a courtyard full of people looking like her.

Tongtong knit her eyebrows as she stared at the characters on the door and murmured uncertainly, “Entrance to Lecture Hall?”

Of course, this must be the place where the teacher lectures their students! Finally, I found the location!

Tongtong was sweating like a traveller in the desert gone without water for a few days, so when she saw the “oasis”, her eyes shined brightly. She pushed open the closed door- but the faint voices coming from inside the door suddenly stopped as the door opened. Those inside turned around and were shocked.

A group of green-clothed disciples knelt on cushions arranged in a circle and craned their necks to see who had interrupted their conversation. Their expressions varied from surprise to anger.

A separate group of indifferent people flicked their sleeves and turned back. The movement attracted Tongtong’s attention. Tongtong forgot about the consequences of her next action. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at the black-clothed disciples and asked, stuttering, “You, how are you here?”

The one she was pointing at was yesterday’s saviour, Su Yan– of course, she didn’t know about “meeting again”.

Lightly looking back at her, Su Yan didn’t say anything. Instead, Liu Mei, a female disciple closest to her, stood up and barked: “How bold, a small Qi-Refining disciple dares come to the lecture halls to eavesdrop? You still aren’t leaving! Don’t blame me for not being welcome!”

Confused, Tongtong tilted her head and did not understand her meaning– eavesdropping? She just stopped by and wanted to ask a question…

Because Tongtong was a beginner who didn’t even understand cultivation, how could she have known that the lecture hall was actually a high-level hall where only Foundation-Establishment level disciples and above could enter?

The incomprehensible Tongtong decided to play dumb, ignored the rude female disciple, and smiled at Su Yan flatteringly.

“Um, Su- Senior Brother Su, may I ask, where are the school grounds? I- I got lost…”

After speaking, she felt a little embarrassed, but in order to observe Su Yan’s response, she forced herself to meet the man’s eyes and release as much of a “sincere”, “cute”, and “helpless” emotion from her eyes. I hope to receive your sympathy!

However, Su Yan looked at her calmly, his deep, thoughtful eyes flickered, his thick and long eyelashes dipping down for a moment.

Oh… what beautiful eyes… just looking at them, Tongtong’s original intent was forgotten.

Suddenly, from inside those obsidian-like eyes, something smiled so fast it was difficult to find- but Tongtong saw, and was sure that she had not seen wrong. She looked into those eyes with all her attention- no mistakes!

Their gazes met, one indifferent and the other dumb. To outsiders, it looked like communication using the eyes, especially to the jealous female disciple sitting next to Su Yan. She thought Tongtong was trying to seduce her senior brother in front of her and was frustrated.

She glared at Tongtong and was about to yell at her, but suddenly felt cold all over. When she looked back, Su Yan’s cold eyes locked on hers and seemed to warn her. She choked on her words, and only bowed her head in modesty to hide the bad intention in her eyes.

Su Yan raised his eyes, majestically sweeping over the other disciples, who also bowed their heads in fear and didn’t dare raise their voices.

After withdrawing his gaze, he looked at Tongtong leaning against the door frame, strands of hair sticking to her flushed face in a messy way, delicate lips coloured, dust and dead leaves snagged on the corner of her clothing. Really, like an abandoned puppy looking for others by itself, Su Yan felt something move in his heart.

Tongtong still stared at her after all the time had passed. Su Yan’s eyes felt helpless, the corner of his mouth rose a little.

“Ji Ya,” she lightly called, but then turned her gaze, almost as if she hadn’t said anything.

“Ao~”

A vermillion red beast rushed out, roaring cheerfully, and bit Tongtong’s sleeve as it started to drag her away.

“Eh? Oh, thanks so much! Bye-bye!”

This Su Yan looks so frigid upon first impressions, but really is a good person inside!

Tongtong, who left with Ji Ya, narrowed her eyes in happiness but did not see the expressions of the green-clothed disciple behind her.

After Tongtong’s figure disappeared, Su Yan waved his hand to close the door slowly. The dull voice inside everyone’s heart became clear as if a hammer had struck it into their hearts.

All the green-clothed disciples understood; Brother Su Yan was warning them!

“Let’s continue then,” Jing Yan instructed, “A person is strong, although he seems to be doing something, he is actually doing nothing; but when he seems to be doing nothing, he is really doing something.”

In the meanwhile, Tongtong was being dragged along the road. In her mind was imprinted those beautiful eyes, so without thinking, she gently put her arm around the neck of Ji Ya, patted its head twice, and said; “Little Ji Ya, Little Ji Ya, your master is really the most beautiful and compassionate person, the best beauty!”

However, the golden eyes of Ji Ya suddenly looked at her, and the teeth biting her sleeve suddenly bared, showing sharp teeth that could rip her at the next moment.

But Tongtong, who was in danger but didn’t know, regarded this action as a question, and smoothed her hair. Then, she looked up at the sky, looking a bit remorseful, and said, “What do you think, your master is such a handsome boy! Excluding his cold temperament, his sparse words, and a little less masculine… He still meets the standard of a beautiful boy! However, I still rather like tall and handsome boys! Those types are safer!” She smiled dumbly and suddenly then wiped it off her face. Tongtong asked seriously, “In the world of cultivation, do you really have to throw all your heart into it to achieve success.”

Ji Ya was stunned by her very serious face, blinked innocently, and nodded subconsciously.

Tongtong patted his two paws and joyfully stated, “Yeah, I also thought that way too! So no matter what anyone values or likes, they should say it later!”

From afar, one could see a wide field with groups of three or five disciples standing in it. Tongtong guessed this was the school grounds.

After gently prying Ji Ya’s teeth from her sleeve, Tongtong grinned at it. She touched the top of its head and rubbed the previously organized hair, and patted it down.

“Little Ji Ya, thank you! Also, don’t forget to help me thank your master! Bye~”

Before she left though, Tongtong turned back around and smiled with evil charm in her eyes.

“I almost forgot, Xiao Ji Ya, your teeth are very white and well maintained. Not bad!” After, she walked to the campus, full of satisfaction.

That certain beast snorted, his golden eyes emitted a murderous aura, almost human-like.

— Dare to touch my neck! Disturb this master’s original hairstyle! Not even my master dares treat me like this! Stupid humans! Next time, this lord will definitely eat you!

Ji Ya pawed at the ground, then his eyes flashed golden before he disappeared from the spot he was in and appeared next to a grove a thousand kilometres away. He growled low, and flashed his cold, sharp teeth: “Ao~”

“Ji- Lord Ji Ya! This one, this one knows his wrongdoings! Please don’t eat me!” A panic-stricken green-robed man crawled from the trees begging for mercy.

Ji Ya’s golden eyes squinted as if in a smile and looked at the man as if to open the doors of Hell for him.

“AHH–” Pathetic screaming ensued, startling a few birds.

Soon, the grove returned to its original peace and quiet, only a pool of blood left behind. After a while, the bloodstains began to be absorbed by the flora, until there was no trace left. Only, the flowers seemed to contain an unusual charm.

This author has something to say:

After thinking about another chapter, I decided there would really be no tomorrow!

In other words, do you like Jiang-Jun(This is a name of something author wrote) more, or this one?

It’s been so long since I touched Jiang-Jun that I forgot where I left off… Orz

This translator has something to say:

I had a dream last night… that when I posted this page up onto this website, almost every paragraph had at least three translator notes… (⚆ᗝ⚆)

By the way, apparently there is a machine-translated version of this story! I had no idea, so I hope to produce even better quality than that website! 😀

Also, Ji Ya straight up just killed my man… I thought he was a homie but… (๏д๏)
