If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Pei Yuening paused for a moment, her hand holding the quill pen still.

He couldn't exactly say, "Well, that's Luo Ren..."

Wouldn't Ryan faint on the spot?

And Ollie... well, never mind.

So Pei Yuening changed his words and phrased it differently.

“Not at school,” he said honestly, “but you all know each other.”

Ryan, chin in hand, eyes sparkling with gossip, exclaimed, "Really!"

He knew that Pei Yuening might not want to talk about it for the time being, so he didn't press the matter.

"Is he good to you?"

Ryan felt this was more important.

Pei Yuening's lips unconsciously curled up, and the tips of her ears turned red: "Very good."

"Wow..." Ryan said, "What kind of person is he? Tell us about him."

The quill pen beside him continued to gleam. After a moment's thought, Pei Yuening gently put it down.

"Well, we haven't actually spent a very long time together, but I can clearly feel that he's different from the others."

Lin Huaijin raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

"Well... when I stood next to him, anyone else would have said something like 'You're not good enough for me,' since I don't have any magic."

"But he never gives me that kind of trouble."

"The first time they invited me home, it was very formal. They even made me sit in the seat of my future wife at the dinner table, and the servants and housekeepers in the house also treated me with great respect."

As Pei Yuening spoke, her smile grew sweeter and sweeter.

"He really doesn't talk much. The amount he said to me that day was less than what Juanjuan and the others talked about during the meal..."

Ryan tried to imagine for a moment, then asked, "So, does he usually try to make you happy?"

Pei Yuening didn't understand: "Huh? In what aspect?"

"For example..." Ryan glanced at Ollie, then winked at Pei Yuening, "...like loving you?"

Ollie's face flushed red instantly.

He was so smitten by Ryan's gaze that he quickly grabbed Lin Huaijin, who was eating melon seeds next to him, and fled back to his seat.

Lin Huaijin: "..."

"Did I say I wouldn't listen?"

Pei Yuening laughed out loud as she watched their retreating figures, then carefully said to Ryan, "I really don't know how to do this."

"He never said anything romantic, like 'I love you,' I feel like saying it would kill him."

Ryan: "Wouldn't that be incredibly dry?"

"No," Pei Yuening paused, "because he will appear when he is supposed to, giving you a sense of security, and every gesture he makes expresses love."

"So that's how it is..." Ryan couldn't help but exclaim, "He really is a very nice person."

Pei Yuening picked up the crystal quill pen again.

The moment the fingertip touched it, a faint light suddenly shone.

"...Yes, he's a very good person."

The bell rang.

Ryan sat back down, still wanting more, and Pei Yuening smiled and said goodbye to him.

When he looked down again, the quill pen was no longer working.

The baby in his arms was so sleepy that its head was nodding. Pei Yuening stroked it and waited quietly for the teacher to arrive.

Unexpectedly, the class monitor was the first to enter the classroom.

"You'll have 20 minutes of self-study time before class."

The class monitor's gaze drifted towards Pei Yuening, but after meeting eyes with Juanjuan in his arms, he immediately looked away.

"Ahem... Teacher He is still in the dean's office, she'll be here shortly."

Pei Yuening: "..."

He picked up Juanjuan and kissed its cheek: "Juanjuan, you can go back now."

"Huh?" Juanjuan asked doubtfully, "Aren't you alright alone, Master? What if that idiot... ugh, whoever comes again?"

Pei Yuening shook her head: "It's okay, Ryan and the others are here."

Moreover, the fact that he has the Demon King protecting him will probably become common knowledge very soon.

Juanjuan peeked out her little head, looked around, and nodded obediently: "Okay, I'm off."

"Okay, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye!"

Pei Yuening looked back.

really.

As soon as Juanjuan left, everyone except Ryan and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Halfway through the class, He Shuming pushed open the door and came in.

She stood in front of the podium, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.

"The outcome of Joshua's case is in," He Shuming said coldly, frowning. "Dean Qi personally gave the order—expulsion."

The classroom was quiet for a moment, then a murmur of discussion arose from the back row.

He Shuming did not stop it.

"The imperial edict clearly stipulates that no one may use their family background to bully others while in school."

"Joshua made verbal threats, spread rumors, and physically crossed boundaries against his classmates. These three violations are considered serious offenses, therefore he was expelled immediately and his case was publicized to the entire school as a typical example."

She paused for a moment: "The dean said that any violation of school rules will be dealt with in the strictest way, and there will be no bias because the violator is someone's son."

"This is the Holy Academy."

Finally, she opened her lesson plan: "That's all, class is in session."

Pei Yuening looked up at the podium and said softly, "Thank you, Teacher He."

He Shuming nodded: "Mm."

……

At the end of the corridor outside the principal's office, Joshua was striding out.

His face was ashen, and he was followed by two guards from his household, who kept a careful distance from him.

The carriage was parked right there when we walked to the school gate.

The guard opened the car door for him, and Joshua bent down and climbed in.

The carriage drove away from the school gate and gradually entered the bustling city.

People on the street have already recognized him.

"Isn't that the Speaker of the Council's car?"

"I heard they were expelled from the Holy Academy... Look at their bulletin board outside..."

Joshua sat in the car, listening to the gossip around him, his teeth clenching tighter and tighter.

Finally, he slammed his fist heavily against the carriage wall.

"Law!!"

Damn Pei Yuening... that little bitch actually dared to do this to him!

So what if there's an ancient dragon? Don't underestimate a young man's potential.

If someone as useless as him can have a dragon familiar, then I would definitely have a greater opportunity.

Joshua narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Just wait and see!

The mockery outside continued.

"Oh dear... How embarrassing! If it were me, I would definitely..."

"Of course, keep your voice down..."

Joshua, having lost his temper, yelled at the driver, "Get out of here!"

The coachman was startled and immediately raised his whip: "Yes, yes! Young master..."

After a hurried journey, the carriage finally left the main street and turned into a quiet, tree-lined avenue.

The trees on both sides gradually became denser, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. No one was talking about it anymore.

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and leaned against the car window.

But at that moment, the coachman suddenly pulled the horse back sharply—

Due to inertia, Joshua slammed his head against the carriage.

"what!"

He covered his forehead, and a large bump quickly formed.

"Damn it..." he gritted his teeth, about to unleash a torrent of curses, "You son of a bitch—"

Before he could finish speaking, the guards outside had already drawn their swords: "Who goes there!"

Their response was a very short, sharp whooshing sound.

After a few muffled groans, the world fell silent.

Joshua sat bolt upright: "What's going on outside?"

There was no response from outside the curtain; only the guards' intermittent groans squeezed in through the gaps in the curtain.

Joshua abruptly lifted the car curtain, his pupils shrinking sharply—

Several guards lay sprawled on the ground, blood trickling from their mouths, their faces bruised and swollen.

Swords were scattered all over the ground, and the coachman slumped in his seat, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from fright.

There was no one there at all.

"Who?!" Joshua looked up abruptly. "Come out!"

Before the words were even finished, the entire carriage was suddenly overturned by a tremendous force!

Joshua let out a gasp that caught in his throat, and he tumbled out of the carriage.

"Ugh!"

He was delicate and fragile, and this fall made him even more dizzy and lightheaded.

He tried to stand up by bracing himself against the ground, but then a gust of wind carrying powerful magical energy rushed towards him.

The sand and dust stung my eyes, blurring my vision instantly.

He was forced to his knees by the wind, his knees hitting the gravel, causing him to scream in pain.

He couldn't see anything, but he felt someone approaching from behind, moving so fast that there was almost no sound, and then came a barrage of heavy blows!

Joshua tried to open his eyes to see clearly, but every time he caught a glimpse of an outline, more sand would get into his eyes.

He was beaten and cried out in pain. Just as he managed to protect one spot, more fists landed on the other spot where he was unable to defend.

"Ughhhh!"

Then he was knocked unconscious.

The sandstorm dissipated in the next second.

The tree-lined avenue was quiet again.

Several unconscious guards, a coachman who had fainted from fright, an overturned carriage, and Joshua lying motionless on the ground lay on the ground.

The perpetrator has left without leaving any trace.
