After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

"It's about to start, Nianxi. If we don't team up soon, we'll have to keep standing at attention. The sun is so strong this afternoon, it's easy to get sunburned!"

"Yes, we all happen to know each other, wouldn't it be better to get everyone together?"

"Although the first place winner can skip training, we're not aiming for any ranking; we'll just be killing time."

"Wenhui is about the same height as you, Nianxi, why don't you give it a try?"

Shen Nianxi felt a little overwhelmed by the buzzing sounds around her.

Huang Yiming... knew he was the kind of person who would never owe favors, so he deliberately gathered a group of people who just couldn't make an even number. He said he would voluntarily step down to give him a spot so he could avoid military training.

In reality, he wanted to incur this favor so that he could use it as an excuse to cause trouble later.

boring.

Shen Nianxi sighed as the competition was fast approaching and Zhang Chen was still nowhere to be seen.

In the morning, rather than saying that she was giving Zhang Chen a chance to team up with her, it would be more accurate to say that she couldn't find anyone else who wasn't opposed to teaming up with her.

She was exhausted. Her physical condition, which had just begun her cultivation, wasn't much better, especially since she hadn't slept for three days.

Shen Nianxi couldn't detach herself from reality to cultivate like an ordinary Taoist priest; the daily life of the secular world was also an important way to cultivate.

Being excessively detached from reality will lead to instability in one's spiritual resolve.

Therefore, she had to balance her official duties with completing her studies.

She had originally thought that the three-legged race in the afternoon was just a running competition, and that it wouldn't be difficult for her to just carry Zhang Chen and win first place. That way, she could skip training and have some free time to rest.

"Nianxi, hurry up." A girl named Wenhui came over with a rope. "We secretly changed to a wider rope so it won't be too tight when tied around your legs."

"..."

Shen Nianxi shook her head, unable to express her frustration and annoyance. Perhaps this girl really wanted to befriend her.

Although the purpose was not entirely pure...

"I'm going to military training, what about you guys...?"

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, a fat rat darted past Shen Nianxi's feet, startling everyone around her, especially the girls, who all screamed and clutched it.

"A rat! It's huge!"

Even many boys shouted out, and Huang Yiming, who was usually the most pretentious, jumped into the arms of the boy next to him, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Nianxi was stunned. She remembered that it was the rat demon from Zhang Chen's house. What was it doing here?

"Sorry I'm late." Just as Shen Nianxi thought of Zhang Chen's name, she was patted on the shoulder.

"There were mice in the house, which took a little longer."

Shen Nianxi turned around and saw Zhang Chen covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he smelled of blood—his right wrist was bandaged.

Are you injured?

"Uh, I got my hand scratched by a piece of tile while catching a mouse. It just happened to sever an artery, and I've been bleeding profusely," Zhang Chen explained. "You've seen my old house, it's terribly dilapidated."

"...Is it all taken care of? Can you run now? If not, then forget it." Shen Nianxi blushed inexplicably as she smelled his scent.

The smell of blood made her involuntarily swallow.

She wanted to slap herself awake, how could she be like a monster, having such desires for boys with strong yang energy?

However... I've never seen Zhang Chen with such vigorous yang energy in anyone else.

But despite its vigorous growth, it didn't exceed the limits of ordinary people.

Furthermore, Zhang Chen's yang energy... possesses a purity untouched by any dust, a quality only found in the purest virgins.

In other words... Zhang Chen hadn't even tried to comfort himself, which she found hard to believe.

Even she couldn't do it, after all, she was first and foremost a human, with emotions and desires, and only later became a minor immortal cultivating.

Hmm...is that really the case? Or does Zhang Chen have other ways to vent his frustrations?

If there's another chance to hypnotize him next time, ask him how he did it.

In her senior year of high school, she hadn't yet developed the ability to observe yang energy, so she didn't even dare to shake hands with Zhang Chen.

At that time, she always felt that with such a beautiful angel like herself sitting next to Zhang Chen, he would definitely be unable to resist her when he got home.

Especially with the immense pressure of senior year in high school, she would come at least once or twice a week...

That's somewhat judging others by one's own standards.

"It's alright, just a small wound, it's stopped bleeding." Zhang Chen took out a wad of bandages from his pocket. "I happen to have some left over, just enough to wrap my leg."

"Um...actually, you didn't have to force yourself to come here." Shen Nianxi was a little embarrassed, as if she was the one forcing Zhang Chen.

"So, even if someone gets injured, they can be exempted from training?"

"It's okay. If we get first place, we can skip training for the next few days. Wouldn't that be even better? Let's take a gamble."

"The key question is whether you can even run..." Shen Nianxi pursed her lips, unsure if carrying Zhang Chen on her back and running would be considered a foul.

Ideas are one thing, but if she actually ran like that in public, she would lose all face.

"Practice makes perfect."

"Oh well."

Shen Nianxi didn't hesitate and took the bandages to tie around their legs.

The moment her calves touched, her body trembled.

The smell was stronger, and Zhang Chen felt very hot.

As she bent down to bandage herself, she noticed that Huang Yiming and his group were looking at Zhang Chen with unfriendly eyes.

It wasn't just Huang Yiming, uh... why are there a few other guys wearing black hoodies with their hands in their pockets? Is this some kind of weird club?

That's true, Zhang Chen's photo online... is quite hateful.

She doesn't recall the literary society ever admitting boys, right? Why did Li Yinuo admit Zhang Chen?

If the possibility of using yang energy to replenish yin has been ruled out, then what is the purpose?

As she pondered, she heard several more curses, calling him a pervert and a creep...

"Don't let it affect you." Shen Nianxi quickly stood up and said to Zhang Chen, "Let them think what they want about you, just be yourself."

The young woman, like a life mentor, frowned slightly and made concessions for Zhang Chen:

"If liking me can keep you motivated, then keep liking me, but be prepared for an imperfect ending..."

"?"

I don't like it that much, baby.

"Zhang Chen, if I ever make something of myself, I'll give you a hand."

Shen Nianxi comforted her, "But I still suggest that you just treat me as someone you're pursuing. Try to find a good girl in college, and don't look for someone too different from yourself."

"..."

"How big is considered a big difference?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Things that can be settled with money aren't really that big," Shen Nianxi sighed. "The other side of this world is terrifying."

Zhang Chen looked at her profile.

The girl had deep dimples, but rarely smiled. Even her captivating eyes remained largely unchanged, their gaze both resolute and tinged with an inexplicable sense of detachment...

At what should have been the most vibrant age, she seemed to be carrying too much on her shoulders.

It wasn't unreasonable for Tu Shan Han Su to ask him to help Shen Nianxi.

"Hey, hey," Zhang Chen reminded them, "Everyone else has already rushed several meters ahead."

"Huh? When did it start?"

"When you just told me to keep liking you."

"Uh... then hurry up..."

Shen Nianxi was both embarrassed and anxious, and in the instant she took her first step, she forgot to consider that Zhang Chen was an ordinary person...

She was about to stop, afraid that Zhang Chen would fall because of her...

"Let's keep this pace," Zhang Chen said, matching her stride and cadence. "Or should we go faster?"

Shen Nianxi was slightly taken aback. "Can you keep up?"

"After being deskmates for three years, we should have some understanding, right?"

"A tacit understanding..." Shen Nianxi murmured, unable to help but look down and observe the two of them with their legs pressed together.

Her body moved in sync with Zhang Chen's naturally, for some reason.

It was as if...the two of them were doing something naughty, and when Zhang Chen patted her butt, she would change her position on her own.

That's strange... Is it because of her constitution? Does she naturally have this assimilative effect on people with strong yang energy?

Shen Nianxi looked up, no longer paying attention to where she was going, and instead carefully observed her classmate.

She recalled what happened three years ago.

At that time, she and Zhang Chen had only been deskmates for a short time...

During a math class, she got her period, but she hadn't prepared sanitary napkins, and her skirt was stained with blood.

Zhang Chen, who was her deskmate, happened to witness this scene.

Because of her unique physical condition, her menstrual cycle was very painful and unpredictable, so she could only whisper to Zhang Chen, "Could you go downstairs and buy me some sanitary napkins?"

However, Zhang Chen looked puzzled and asked her, "How can I buy it for you while I'm in class? You're overthinking it."

She was very disappointed, and just as she was about to use a tissue to cushion her pain and try to get through it...

As a result, she heard a "thud" and saw Zhang Chen suddenly punch himself hard in the nose, causing it to bleed. He then stood up and reported to the teacher:

"Teacher, my nose is bleeding. I want to go get it treated and buy some tissues."

The whole class was laughing at him.

But in the end, Zhang Chen not only bought her sanitary napkins, but also a bag of cheap brown sugar and ginger covered in mud.

Having seen so much mass-produced gentleness, she found this kind of clumsy sincerity particularly profound.

"Zhang Chen?"

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm...maybe I should learn from you."

"Then run faster. I don't want military training. Besides, those two Jiahaos behind me keep giving me the middle finger. Damn it, they're all brainless fans of Li Yinuo. It's extremely insulting."

Shen Nianxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Didn't you used to be like this too?"

"No, that was unintentional, unlike those deliberate Jiahaos."

We sped up the pace a bit more.

The two had a smooth journey, unlike anyone else.

As she crossed the finish line first, Shen Nianxi bent over, holding her thighs and panting.

She's doing it again.

Make up your mind; you can't put it off any longer.

No matter the cost, we must find the dog demon's weakness; for both moral and rational reasons, we must protect the rabbit demon.

It's all part of the spiritual practice; what's a little hardship?

Even a minor Buddha like Tang Sanzang had to overcome eighty-one tribulations, while the philandering Taoist priest had to overcome countless thousands of tribulations.

She must become someone the philanderer cannot control before he returns.

Becoming a furnace or something... never.
