Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 181 Your Lady Queen

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

The snow on the ground has begun to melt, and the temperature has dropped even lower than yesterday.

Luo Qingfeng left the library and headed to the training ground.

There were many more people on the road, in twos and threes, all discussing the new disciples' competition that was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Some people were talking about several well-known new disciples in the North Academy; others were angrily recounting the various forms of oppression and domineering behavior that had occurred in the South Academy in the past.

"I've heard that Junior Brother Lin has exceptional talent; he's a cultivation genius. He's already at the ninth level of the Open Heaven Realm, and he's even awakened two innate divine abilities..."

"This time, bringing glory to our Northern Academy will probably depend on him. Oh, by the way, I heard there's also a female disciple, also at the ninth level of the Open Heaven Realm. She's been cultivating outside and only recently entered the academy..."

"In the various competitions and trials over the past few years, our Northern Academy has always been outmatched by the Southern Academy. Every time the disciples from the Southern Academy meet our disciples from the Northern Academy, they mock us in various ways, which is really frustrating. I hope that the new disciples can show some spirit this time and put their arrogance to shame."

"Sigh, it'll probably be a bit difficult. I heard that among the new disciples on the other side this time, there are a few geniuses..."

With Luo Qingfeng's current hearing, he could hear all these conversations clearly.

He muttered to himself, "It seems there are quite a few formidable opponents this time."

As the competition draws closer, those previously hidden powerful disciples are beginning to emerge one by one, and it's estimated that there are quite a few from the Southern Academy as well.

It seems that getting into the top three won't be so easy now.

However, he must fight for it.

When he arrived at the training ground, Liang Feng and the others happened to be walking along a side path. They greeted him warmly, but their expressions were not relaxed.

After all, the competition is starting the day after tomorrow, and as disciples participating in this competition, they are naturally a little nervous.

"Senior Brother Luo, let's go in and cultivate first."

After exchanging a few hurried pleasantries, the group each chose a suitable training ground and began their cultivation.

Some went into the courtyard, while others went into the stone chamber.

Some who practiced special techniques went to the training ground on the other side.

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and felt that his fist technique should be good enough. He figured that even if he practiced for two more days, he probably wouldn't improve much.

Let's continue absorbing the power of the stars in the stone chamber.

The first line of data is still 10 points short. Although the progress can be increased quickly by slaying monsters, absorbing the power of stars can also increase it.

Even if it's a little less, as long as we make progress, that's fine.

He chose an empty stone chamber and was about to enter when a familiar voice suddenly came from the path beside him: "Senior Brother Luo!"

Zhang Cuicui, dressed in a bright green dress, ran over from the side path and said in a clear voice, "I have some news for you. Our North Academy has gained another disciple at the ninth level of the Opening Heaven Realm. She is a female disciple named Huo Man. Including Senior Brother Lin, our North Academy now has two disciples at the ninth level of the Opening Heaven Realm."

Luo Qingfeng sighed, "It seems the competition is getting fiercer."

Zhang Cuicui encouraged him, "But Senior Brother Luo, don't be discouraged. With your strength, you can still compete for a top ten spot."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Thank you."

Zhang Cuicui smiled, seemingly wanting to say something more, but seeing that he seemed eager to go cultivate, she didn't disturb him further: "Then Senior Brother Luo, go cultivate quickly, I'm going too."

"Um."

Luo Qingfeng waved and entered a stone chamber.

Zhang Cuicui stood outside for a while longer before turning around and leaving, entering a small courtyard.

On this day, all the new disciples participating in the competition were diligently cultivating in their respective training grounds.

In the evening, Luo Qingfeng finished his practice and checked his current data.

[Progress: 91]

[The Nine Stars Realm of Creation, Progress: Twelve]

Okay, both lines of data only increased slightly.

Although I had expected it, I was still a little disappointed.

It seems impossible to break through to the tenth level of the Heavenly Opening Realm before the competition.

After leaving the training ground, we went to the library first.

On the sixth floor, in front of the bookshelves, Bai Ruofei, dressed in a plain white dress and with her long, black hair flowing freely, was arranging books.

His towering chest almost touched the bookshelf.

It looks even more tempting from the side.

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to look any longer. After informing her that he wouldn't be coming back tonight, he prepared to leave.

He actually wanted to ask her if she liked the gifts and if she had tried them, but he didn't dare ask, afraid of being beaten to death.

Just as she was about to leave, Bai Ruofei suddenly spoke up: "Are all those things for me?"

Luo Qingfeng stopped, lowered his head, and said somewhat nervously, "Yes."

Bai Ruofei turned around, looking at him coldly: "Apart from the wooden hairpin, these are all vulgar things. How could you give them away like that?"

Luo Qingfeng raised his head and argued, "How can you call what I wear vulgar? Aren't those just ordinary things?"

Bai Ruofei said expressionlessly, "You're a man, how could you buy those things?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't want to argue with her anymore. He glanced at her and could only say, "If Senior doesn't like it, then..."

"I threw them all away."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ruofei said calmly.

Luo Qingfeng frowned.

Those things were extremely expensive to him; he had risked his life to earn those mysterious gold pieces.

However, he had some doubts about whether the woman was lying.

He decided to test the waters: "Did you throw them away? Then could you tell me where you threw them? I'll go and pick them up and give them to someone else, since those things cost me a lot of money."

Bai Ruofei ignored him, took a book from the bookshelf, went to the window, and sat down at the table.

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: He was lying after all!

He did not linger and prepared to leave.

Just as they reached the top of the stairs, Bai Ruofei suddenly spoke again, "What is this?"

Luo Qingfeng turned his head to look, and his face immediately froze.

It was a silver crystal chain, dazzling and extremely beautiful under the setting sun.

However, it wasn't a bracelet, but an anklet.

He felt a little ashamed when he bought the anklet last night, but he couldn't resist the saleswoman's persuasive sales pitch and encouragement, so he secretly bought it in the end.

And I bought two of them.

The other one was still hidden in his storage ring, which he planned to take back tonight and give to Sister Nightingale so he could try it on for her himself.

"A bracelet."

He explained with a calm expression.

"The female stall owner said that this bracelet is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also keep out dust. It is both beautiful and useful. I saw that you have fair skin and you are not wearing anything on your wrist, so I felt that something was missing and bought it for you."

He made up such a story that even he himself began to believe it.

Bai Ruofei looked at him calmly, her cool face and snow-white skin appearing even more beautiful and moving in the sunset.

She was quiet for a moment, then said, "Then you put it on me."

Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Um... it's very easy to wear, Senior can put it on with one hand."

Lying is one thing, but he wouldn't dare to actually put an anklet on the woman's wrist himself.

"You put it on."

Bai Ruofei narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a command.

Luo Qingfeng looked troubled: "Senior, men and women should not touch each other. I cannot..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ruofei said calmly, "Alright, I'll go to the task list later and make sure you make a name for yourself in the entire Demon Suppression Academy before the new disciple competition."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

Silence fell over the room.

After a brief standoff, Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to walk over, pick up the anklet from the table, and look at her fair and delicate wrist.

At this moment, Bai Ruofei suddenly said again, "Think carefully before you put it on. If you wear it wrong, hmph..."

Luo Qingfeng's outstretched hand trembled instantly.

This woman can read minds, so she probably already knew. Besides, this anklet and bracelet are indeed somewhat different, and she must have seen this kind of thing in the cultivator market before.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingfeng dared not hide it any longer. After stammering for a while, he told the truth: "Senior, this is actually... an anklet..."

He quickly and shamelessly explained, "Well, I didn't see clearly just now... I didn't see clearly last night either, so... I bought the wrong thing..."

Bai Ruofei looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing more.

Luo Qingfeng stood there awkwardly.

Silence fell in the room once again.

After a long while, Luo Qingfeng saw that the sun had already set outside, so he had no choice but to apologize again and say, "If you don't like it, senior, then I will take it."

Bai Ruofei stared at him for a while, then suddenly said calmly, "Put it on for me."

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback, thinking he had misheard, and looked up at her.

On Bai Ruofei's cool and beautiful face, no emotion could be seen. However, her slender feet, clad in snow-white silk stockings, gently emerged from under the table, while her cool yet charming eyes stared at him without moving, as if with a hint of mockery.

"Splash! Splash!"

Luo Qingfeng looked down at the pair of small, white-socked feet peeking out from under the skirt, and his heart suddenly started pounding uncontrollably.

The art of charm?

No, there's no need to use any charm techniques at all.

"Senior, I..."

He wanted to refuse, but the proud and alluring woman leaned back in her chair, raised one slender, beautiful foot clad in a snow-white stocking, and extended it in front of him, saying calmly, "Put it on."

His tone was cold, yet it was full of an unyielding command.

As her beautiful foot lifted, the soft gauze skirt that had been covering it slipped gently upwards, revealing a small section of her slender calves encased in white stockings. Combined with her alluring figure and her pure yet charming, watery eyes, she exuded a seductive beauty that made one's blood boil.

Luo Qingfeng dared not linger any longer, immediately placed the anklet in his hand on the table, and turned to run away.

Witch, stop... Ah!

But just as he took a few steps away, a silk scarf suddenly flew out from behind him, instantly wrapped around his neck, and dragged him back.

"Put it on."

The aloof and proud woman, now like a queen, looked down at him and gave orders.

Her slender, beautiful foot, clad in a white sock, was almost pressed against his face.
