Just as Lü Shenxiao was already impatient and preparing to begin his second awakening.

A deliberately heavy footstep interrupted his thoughts.

"Shenxiao".

The voice was sweet and delicate, with a slightly sticky and affected quality.

Lü Shenxiao raised his head.

In my line of sight, a man and a woman are walking side by side.

The girl was wearing a school uniform skirt that had been shortened, and her makeup was exquisite. She was none other than his childhood sweetheart, Fu Qianqian.

The boy had his hair slicked back, his school uniform jacket was open, and he held his chin so high that he almost looked down at people through his nostrils.

This is Xing Lei from the next class, one of the so-called "three geniuses" of Bincheng No. 6 Middle School.

However, compared to the formidable figures of Lü Shenxiao and Ming Yuexi, Xing Lei's reputation as a genius seems more like a figurehead.

Lü Shenxiao achieved perfect scores in all subjects, reaching the pinnacle of academia.

Mingyue Xi received mostly full marks.

Xing Lei, on the other hand, consistently scored in the nineties and has remained the undisputed "perennial third place" for the past three years.

At this moment, Fu Qianqian was holding Xing Lei's arm tightly, their fingers intertwined, as if afraid that others would not know about their relationship.

Lu Shenxiao raised an eyebrow, a perfectly polite smile playing on his lips.

"Is something the matter?" he asked.

Fu Qianqian did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Xing Lei beside her, her eyes narrowed as if she was seeking some kind of confidence.

Then, she turned her head, looked at Lü Shenxiao, and sighed.

"Shenxiao, I know you suffered a great blow today."

Fu Qianqian's tone carried a hint of pity from someone in a superior position, "Ordinary cavalry...it's indeed quite disheartening. But, one has to face reality, right?"

Lu Shenxiao didn't say anything, but simply shifted to a more comfortable position against the tree and watched her performance with great interest.

He was already itching to complain.

Which eye of yours saw me in despair? I was thinking about how to achieve a second awakening, okay?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fu Qianqian assumed that he had been hit where it hurt, and her tone became even more self-righteous.

"In the past, you had good grades and strong physical fitness, and you always... always liked to train with me."

She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully, then bit her lip. "Actually, I've always been troubled by this."

Lu Shenxiao almost burst out laughing.

Troubled?

Who is it that waits for people downstairs at his house every morning at six o'clock sharp, carrying soy milk and fried dough sticks?

Who is it that cries and begs him to go easy on them every time they can't fight back in melee combat?

Now it's become "I like having you with me"?

This ability to distort the truth is at least that of a high-ranking official at some app!

"Now, I have awakened the 'Sword Dancer' destiny." Fu Qianqian raised her chin, a hint of pride flashing across her face.

Sword Dancer is a special unit. Although it is the lowest-level special unit, it is enough for her to transcend social classes and escape the realm of ordinary people.

"Moreover, I have already accepted Xing Lei's advances."

Fu Qianqian shook their tightly clasped hands.

"Xing Lei's past life was none other than the renowned General Xing Daorong of Lingling! Those with the destiny of a general are few and far between in the entire city of Bin."

Upon hearing this, Xing Lei raised his chin even higher, as if he had become an invincible war god.

"So?" Lu Shenxiao's smile remained flawless.

"So, I hope you... won't bother me anymore in the future."

Fu Qianqian took a deep breath, as if she had made a momentous decision. "I don't want Xing Lei to misunderstand. We... are no longer from the same world."

Absolutely.

Lü Shenxiao applauded inwardly.

This ability to turn the tables is textbook-perfect.

However, how could someone like him get angry over such low-class green tea remarks?

He just found it a little funny.

after all……

He never cared about this so-called "childhood sweetheart"!

"I see."

Lu Shenxiao nodded, his tone so sincere that no one could find fault with him, "I wish you happiness. Xing Daorong and the sword dancer are a match made in heaven."

Xing Lei clearly didn't catch the sarcasm in Lü Shenxiao's words.

He released Fu Qianqian's hand, took a step forward, and looked down at Lü Shenxiao.

"Lu Shenxiao, you're smart to know what's good for you."

Xing Lei sneered, his tone filled with the pleasure of releasing three years' worth of pent-up resentment.

"You used to bully me just because of brute force, didn't you? Times have changed! In the game of national destiny, your past life's fate is everything!"

He stretched out a finger and poked Lü Shenxiao's shoulder.

"Ordinary cavalry? Ha! Once we're in the dungeon, you won't even be worthy to carry my shoes. For Qianqian's sake, you'd better stay away from her from now on, or don't blame me for disregarding our classmate relationship!"

Lu Shenxiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the finger poking his shoulder.

He was considering whether to use the simplest wrestling technique to throw this idiot to the ground.

Although Xing Lei awakened the destiny of a famous general from his past life, his strength was only so-so since he hadn't yet experienced any game instances.

With Lü Shenxiao's superhuman physique and combat skills, dealing with him shouldn't be a problem.

Just then, a gentle breeze carrying a faint fragrance drifted by.

"Get your dirty hands off me!"

A crisp shout rang in the ears of the three.

Xing Lei was startled and instinctively withdrew his hand.

Turning around, I saw Mingyuexi walking quickly towards me.

Her usually gentle and graceful peach blossom eyes were now as cold as ice as she stared at Xing Lei and Fu Qianqian.

"Ming...Mingyuexi?" Xing Lei's arrogance instantly diminished.

This is a top-tier expert who has awakened Diao Chan's destiny and possesses a bond with ghosts and gods!

With just a word from her, even top-tier guilds like Wei, Shu, and Wu would be vying for her.

He is the reincarnation of "Xing Daorong," a ceiling for ordinary people; they have no prestige in front of him.

Fu Qianqian was also a little apprehensive, but she still forced a smile: "Yuexi, what brings you here? We were just talking to Shenxiao..."

"Shut up."

Mingyuexi interrupted her without any politeness.

She walked straight to Lü Shenxiao's side, turned around, stood in front of Lü Shenxiao, and faced Fu Qianqian directly.

"Fu Qianqian, have you no shame?"

"Who used to be the one relentlessly pestering Shenxiao every day?"

"When Shenxiao and I were training in the gravity chamber, who insisted on squeezing in? They couldn't even withstand one unit of gravity, and Shenxiao had to carry them to the infirmary!"

Mingyuexi grew angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.

"Now that you've awakened a sword dancer, you think you're all high and mighty? And Shenxiao is clinging to you? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you even deserve it? You slut!"

Xing Lei opened his mouth, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Fu Qianqian's face turned deathly pale, her eyes instantly reddened, and her lips trembled.

Even Lü Shenxiao, who had been watching the show the whole time, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Is this still the same Mingyuexi who speaks softly and never gets angry?

This fighting power is absolutely off the charts!

"Yuexi...you...how could you say that to me..." Fu Qianqian finally managed to utter a sentence with a sob in her voice, tears welling up in her eyes.

"What did I say about you? What I said wasn't the truth?"

Mingyuexi sneered and turned her gaze to Xing Lei.

"And you, Xing Lei. Just because you awakened Xing Daorong, you think you're invincible? Is your general's destiny so great? Compared to those famous generals, you're nothing but trash! Take your sword dancer and get lost, don't get in my way!"

Xing Lei's face turned pale and then red, his fists clenched tightly, but he didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed Fu Qianqian, who was still sobbing.

"Let's go!"

The two turned around dejectedly and fled from the woods as if they were escaping.

Watching the two figures stumble and fall, Ming Yuexi let out a long sigh of relief.

However, in the very next moment...

Mingyuexi suddenly froze.

She turned her head and looked at Lü Shenxiao behind her with a somewhat blank expression.

"I...I just...swore at someone?"

Her voice carried a hint of disbelief, and even a touch of fear.

She usually doesn't even say a harsh word, what's wrong with her today?

Why did she feel an uncontrollable surge of anger when she saw Lü Shenxiao being mocked by those two people?

The feeling was like... that something I cherished most had been offended by two ignorant ants.

This anger came out of nowhere!

"Um..." Mingyuexi took a deep breath, and the heaving of her chest finally calmed down a bit.

She raised her head, met Lü Shenxiao's gaze, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then quickly looked away.

"Was I... a little too fierce just now?" she muttered to herself, as if asking Lü Shenxiao, or perhaps talking to herself.

Lu Shenxiao raised an eyebrow.

The way you were acting just now made it seem like you were going to scatter those two people's ashes.

If I didn't know you had awakened Diao Chan, I would have thought you had awakened Sun Shangxiang!

However, on the surface, Lü Shenxiao maintained that flawless smile.

"good."

Lu Shenxiao shrugged. "At least she's much more interesting than that rigid, proper young lady from before."

Mingyue glared at him, and the awkward atmosphere that had been there dissipated considerably after he interrupted her.

She reached out and patted her cheeks, seemingly trying to clear her head.

"I guess..."

Mingyuexi cleared her throat, trying to regain her usual gentle tone.

"Perhaps it's because he suddenly awakened his destiny as a general, causing his power to surge and making his mind somewhat unstable."

As she spoke, she nodded earnestly, as if trying to convince herself.

"You see, just like those ordinary people who win the lottery jackpot, after becoming rich overnight, they always engage in some 'revenge spending' behavior. Could this be considered... a release of retaliatory emotions?"

The more Mingyuexi spoke, the more sense she found in her words, and her tense shoulders relaxed.

"Yes, that's definitely it. Just be a little more careful about controlling your emotions in the future."

She let out a long breath, having completely completed her self-conquest.

Lu Shenxiao almost burst out laughing when he saw her talking nonsense with such a straight face.

What the hell is this retaliatory emotional outburst?

That excuse you came up with wouldn't even fool a child, okay?

However, Lü Shenxiao did not expose her.

"Alright, whatever you say goes." Lü Shenxiao shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Mingyuexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't investigate further.

She tidied her wind-blown hair, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Let's get down to business." She took a step forward, closing the distance between them.

A pleasant fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over, and Lü Shenxiao subconsciously sniffed.

"The beginner dungeons for the game 'National Fortune' are now open." Mingyuexi's tone carried a hint of determination. "The first dungeon is 'The Yellow Turban Rebellion'."

She paused, seemingly observing Lü Shenxiao's reaction.

"Although Shenxiao, you only awakened the destiny of an ordinary cavalryman, I believe that with your combat skills, you are definitely no weaker than someone like Xing Lei."

Mingyue raised her chin, and her captivating peach blossom eyes sparkled with starlight.

"And I am now an unparalleled support."

"So team up with me, Shenxiao."

"Let's team up and clear the 'Yellow Turban Rebellion' dungeon and get our first dungeon win of the year!"
