He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

She had no idea that on the other side of the light screen...

Her mother was rubbing her head, which was sore from being hit with a feather duster.

She looked at Zhu Suqing, who had regained her youthful appearance, with a wronged expression.

"Oh dear! You little rascal! You can't even get a simple task done!"

Zhu Suqing, holding a feather duster, scolded him irritably.

"I'd like to ask you to act as a matchmaker and bring your daughter and my newly adopted grandson together."

He was hung up before he could even say two words! What kind of head of the family are you?!

"Mom! I was wrong! Please stop hitting me!"

The beautiful woman, now devoid of any semblance of authority as head of the household, covered her head and cowered in the room.

"You know how stubborn Qingqing is..."

Besides, who exactly is this "precious grandson" you're talking about?

I've never even met her, how can I tell Qingqing...?

"Hmph! He's the best young man in the world anyway! He's more than good enough for your Qingqing!"

Zhu Suqing put away the duster, sat down angrily, and

"Forget it, let children and grandchildren have their own lives. I'm not going to interfere anymore! Let them do what they want!"

If Zhu Qingqing knew that her "deceased" grandmother was not only alive,

He was still hoping to match her up with the "bastard" who had bullied her that night.

I don't know what to think.

Just as distraught as Zhu Qingqing was Lu Chen, who had returned to his room.

He plopped down on the bed, ran his hands through his hair, and felt his mind was a complete mess.

Zhu Qingqing's face held a cool yet stubborn expression.

Xuan Yuanwu's domineering yet occasionally vulnerable demeanor...

Alternating images flashed through my mind.

"What do we do now?"

He muttered to himself, filled with bewilderment.

Blame it?

Is it because the dragon's flesh has too much yang energy?

Is it my own fault for not having enough self-control?

Or is it just that inexplicable coincidence?

He recalled the meaningful smiles and words of the head nurse and the other nurses at dinner, and now it dawned on him.

They clearly knew about the "side effects" of dragon meat.

They might even have had the intention of helping him achieve his goal!

"You're deliberately trying to make me happy, aren't you...?"

Lu Chen smiled bitterly.

His hand unconsciously reached for his chest, touching the warm, smooth phoenix yin-yang jade pendant.

Considering the respectful attitude that Aunt Yao and Elder Feng had shown him before,

And the vicious "threat" Xuanyuan Wu gave him when she presented him with the jade pendant.

It's not hard to guess that this jade pendant has extraordinary significance.

Who knows, I might have already been "reserved" by that female tyrant.

Now, it's all messed up; I've made the "mistake" first.

"Why……"

Lu Chen let out a long sigh, his heart in turmoil.

Tell Xuanyuan Wu?

With her fiery temper,

If they find out, will they just come and chop me up?

Or perhaps the bamboo is green...

Not going to tell?

Keeping it from her?

This is not in his character at all.

The truth will eventually come out; if she finds out later, the consequences could be even more serious.

After agonizing for thirty minutes, Lu Chen finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"So be it! What's done is done, so accept the consequences!"

He decided to take the initiative to confess to Xuan Yuanwu and express his attitude.

As for punishment... we'll talk about that later.

He sat cross-legged, concentrated, and communicated with the only contact number stored in the jade pendant.

"Ring ring~"

A pleasant notification sound rang out in the quiet room.

About ten seconds later, the communication was connected.

"Wait! I'm busy!"

Xuan Yuanwu's voice was short and sharp; the call was abruptly cut off as soon as she finished speaking.

At the same time, clear roars, the sounds of clashing weapons, and the booming of energy explosions could be heard in the background!

"She...is she fighting?"

Lu Chen's expression turned strange.

Judging from the noise, the battle seems to be quite intense.

Where did that female tyrannosaurus go to fight?

He could only hold the jade pendant, waiting anxiously.

This wait lasted for a full hour.

Finally, the jade pendant in his hand lit up again, signaling a communication request.

Lu Chen quickly answered the call.

"Little brother, it's been a few days, have you missed me?"

A teasing sound came from the jade pendant.

His tone was completely different from his previous short and sharp one.

"Ahem!"

Lu Chen choked on his water, coughing repeatedly, at the sudden "gentle" voice.

"Hey, female tyrannosaurus, can you please be normal for once?! This sudden change in style is just too terrifying!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the communication.

Lu Chen clearly heard a "click" sound.

It sounded like some kind of hard object being crushed.

"Speak your mind, or shut up!"

Xuan Yuanwu's voice instantly returned to the domineering tone that Lu Chen was familiar with, as if the previous sentence was just an illusion.

This time, it was Lu Chen's turn to be hesitant and unsure how to start the conversation.

He held the jade pendant, his palms sweating slightly.

"It's this..."

Lu Chen stammered, looking extremely guilty.

I'm also a little afraid of the storms that might come next.

"I'll give you three seconds..."

Xuan Yuanwu's voice turned cold, carrying a sense of oppression.

"three……"

"two……"

Lu Chen's heart pounded wildly, just before the countdown reached "one".

With a determined heart and closed eyes, he blurted out, "I'm not a virgin anymore!"

There was an instant, deathly silence on the other end of the communication line.

All that could be heard was Lu Chen's own heavy breathing.

Immediately afterwards, an even more violent sound came from the other end of the communication!

It felt like some kind of metal was being slammed against a wall.

It looked like tables and chairs had been overturned.

Interspersed with Xuan Yuanwu's roar and the sound of something being torn apart.

Clearly, Xuanyuan Wu was venting her boundless rage on the other side!

After a while, the noise subsided slightly.

Xuan Yuanwu's icy voice rang out:

"Who is the other party?"

Her voice was calm, eerily calm.

"If it's some vixen, or some shady character,"

"I'm going back right now and wiping you both out..."

She paused, her voice revealing a resolute tone:

"I'd rather die alone than tolerate this!"

Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine and quickly explained:

"Ahem, she's not a vixen... her name is Zhu Qingqing."

They are members of the military's "Breakthrough" squad.

Our teammates on this mission…

"Who?!"

Xuan Yuanwu's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief.

"Zhu Qingqing? The Zhu Qingqing from the military?"

She thought she had misheard!

Green bamboo?

Isn't she that little fangirl she picked up when she was training in the military?

She has great talent, a cool but persistent personality, and I've always admired her.

How come... you've gotten involved with Lu Chen?

"It's...it's her."

Lu Chen braced himself and confirmed.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the communication line, and then Xuan Yuanwu's voice rang out again.

This time, however, it carried a strange tone:

"Okay... I understand."

"Have Zhu Qingqing come over tomorrow; I want to have a good talk with her!"

"That's it, I'm hanging up!"

Xuan Yuanwu hung up immediately, giving Lu Chen no chance to speak.

"this......."

Lu Chen was bewildered. Did the other party agree or refuse?

Judging from the female tyrannosaurus's tone, she clearly knows Zhu Qingqing.

Lu Chen lay in bed, tossing and turning, wondering how he would 'die' tomorrow!

"Why......."
