The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

Luo Ning's breath was cool and pleasant.

She pressed Lu Yuan against the freshly painted wall, her icy white eyes, revealing a ruthless intent, scanning Lu Yuan's entire body from top to bottom.

After discovering that he was not injured, I felt a little relieved.

But the body's reaction is quite the opposite.

She hugged Lu Yuan even tighter, her long, slender hands resting on his shoulders, as if she wanted to make him sink into her bottomless abyss.

"Professor Luo, I can't breathe..."

Luo Ning suppressed the intense turmoil in her heart, relaxed slightly, but did not let go.

Instead, she simply and slowly felt the warmth that Lu Yuan brought her.

This warmth was her only hope in the extreme cold and darkness, a thousand times better than a campfire.

If it weren't for the desire to regain that warmth, she would have already 'died' when she condensed the law.

Silent in the icy abyss, I can no longer feel my own existence.

She will become the merciless law itself; she is actually... very afraid of this ending.

Terrified, she fought desperately, desperately trying to become a normal person. For this reason, she almost never guarded the line, but instead locked herself in the bustling academy.

But no matter how enthusiastic it was here, it was useless to her. The students she had taken in didn't want to see her again after meeting her a few times.

The closer she got to the laws, the more she resisted everything in the outside world.

The cold of the night completely enveloped her.

Until… a guy stood in front of her, saying something about not wanting her to die…

Lu Yuan was almost out of breath again. "Professor Luo, are you... a little off today? Is something... happened?"

The grip tightened around her body.

Luo Ning said softly, "Let me hold you a little longer, okay?"

"Ugh... mold... mold mosquito body..."

Lu Yuan struggled to speak, but his gratitude towards Professor Luo made him agree instinctively.

After a long, long time, Luo Ning softly said, "Do you know you almost died this time?"

"Um……"

Even if he were to use his divine fusion to perform a second consecutive traversal after reaching the limit of his star candle, he wouldn't be absolutely certain of escaping from the four alien kings.

Unless, as the Throne of the Sword suggests, he is left to burn himself to buy time.

"Will you dare to do it again next time?"

"I won't dare to do it again."

Lu Yuan didn't argue back.

"Then you have to stay by my side from now on, otherwise it will be very dangerous, understand?"

Lu Yuan paused, "This won't do, Professor Luo."

"Why?" Luo Ningbing stared intently with her icy white eyes.

"I will always protect you. You don't need to worry about anything. Just stay by my side. Whatever you want, I will give it to you, Lu Yuan."

"..."

What's wrong with Professor Luo?

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then confessed, "Professor Luo, I have some very distant goals to achieve, which I promised to do, and I cannot..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was already enveloped by a soft touch.

Those icy white eyes, without anyone noticing, had already melted away most of their color.

"No matter how far away it is, I will walk with you, as long as... you don't leave me."

Lu Yuan felt his heart pounding wildly.

The next second, he shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat.

His ear was pressed close to icy breath, and a chilling voice rang in his ears.

"But I'm still very angry. You didn't agree directly... Disobedient students should be severely punished."

hiss!

Lu Yuan gasped, tears welling in his eyes as he looked at the icy-white woman who was giving him a stern verbal reprimand.

Outside the door, Yuan Yue was still puzzled.

What are they doing? Why haven't they come out yet after so long?

She frowned.

She then heard faint verbal reprimands coming from inside, which made her pause and her eyes gradually become glazed over.

My mind went blank, unable to function.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before.

She was overloaded.

At that moment, her custom-made machine rang, interrupting her unresponsiveness.

But when she saw the communication request, she panicked even more.

Kurenai-sama?!

No, no, no, no! Absolutely not!

Yuan Yue blushed completely, and the specially made machine almost fell to the ground several times.

Lady Honglian had instructed her to keep a close eye on Lu Yuan, but... how could she possibly do it now that things had turned out like this?

What to do...

Yuan Yue stood there, bewildered.

Only one thought occupied his mind: How could Luo Ning... teach Lu Yuan such a lesson?!

Yes, how could she punish Lu Yuan like that? It's all her fault!!!

Yuan Yue gritted her teeth in anger, her hand crackling with explosive fire as she prepared to drag Luo Ning out.

But as soon as she reached the door and stretched out her hand, she was startled by a loud bang.

Seeing the door shake violently, she felt her heart pounding like it was about to jump out of her chest, faster than ever before.

No, no, we can't go in yet.

What if Coco scolds Lu Yuan badly if she does this?

What should we do about Lady Kurenai's orders?

But... she really couldn't bring herself to go in...

Yuan Yue reached out her hand and then pulled it back, remaining hesitant and conflicted.

They don't even know how time passed.

She just stood there outside the door, unable to do anything.

A few hours later.

Luo Ning could no longer teach him a lesson. She had dragged Lu Yuan into a deep, icy abyss, a place full of constraints where Lu Yuan could hardly move an inch.

But his will was unyielding, and he rampaged wildly through the icy abyss, melting away the solid ice.

He knew he was right and was determined to teach Professor Luo a lesson, so he punished him by making him stand in the corner to reflect on his mistakes.

Professor Luo was quite adorable when he was facing the wall.

Anyway, Lu Yuan was almost driven crazy by how cute she was.

One day later.

The first rays of dawn shone down from the sky, spreading across Lu Yuan through a gap in the curtains.

He rubbed his eyes. How come he was asleep too?

He shook his head and looked at the icy white woman who was holding him tightly beside him. At this moment, her breathing was steady and her cold aura had softened considerably.

but.

It's so early in the morning, why are you still sleeping?

Is this okay?

This is not good.

After some "deliberation," Lu Yuan decided to wake up Instructor Luo.

He wanted to see the lovely Professor Luo!

With this thought in mind, Luo Ning was quickly woken up.

She gritted her teeth, her icy white eyes filled with shame and anger—an expression never before seen on Luo Ning.

"Outrageous, utterly rebellious!"
