In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"Finally, I've put it away."

As Mai spoke, she looked down at her clothes and noticed that they were stained with sweat and some dirt. She immediately frowned.

"I don't want Xia Mu to dislike me looking like this. I should take a shower..."

She glanced towards the kitchen, where a man was chopping vegetables with a "thump, thump, thump" sound. Mai hesitated slightly, but still took out new clothes from the cabinet and walked towards the shower room.

A short while later, Xia Mu, who was in the kitchen, scratched his head: "Huh, where's the spatula? Looks like I'll have to ask Mai..."

As he was speaking, he was about to turn around when he suddenly felt a delicate sensation behind him.

Immediately afterwards, two fair arms wrapped around her waist, and Mai's voice sounded from behind: "Xia Mu..."

Chapter 95 Mai's Feelings

Let's go back three minutes.

In the shower room.

The sound of rushing water reached her ears. Gazing at herself in the mirror, Mai's mind raced with memories—

It was a sunny afternoon, and I was busy at my desk as usual, preparing for the next class.

Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from ahead: "Hello, are you Mai-sensei?"

Upon hearing the voice, Mai subconsciously looked up, and what she saw reflected in her eyes was a handsome face.

Bathed in light, his face shimmered with an unusual radiance, a scene so dreamlike and unforgettable that it was deeply imprinted in her heart.

"I'm Xia Mu, a newly arrived psychology teacher. Please take good care of me."

"You... hello..."

From that moment on, a white-haired man entered Mai's heart, and she began to pay attention to Natsuki. A seed called affection began to sprout in her heart.

She discovered that this man's popularity seemed to exceed her expectations; not only students, but even many teachers at the academy harbored feelings for Xia Mu.

At least in the past, Mai had been asked by her colleagues more than once to deliver love letters to Natsuki, who shared an office with her, but Mai always refused for various reasons.

Without realizing it, she didn't know why she felt so disgusted by other people expressing their love for Xia Mu, or even seeing the mountain of love letters piled up on someone's desk. She couldn't help but want to take Xia Mu's place and throw all the love letters away!

Later, when she personally encountered ghosts, the feeling of despair was like drowning, causing her to sink uncontrollably into the darkness.

What Mai didn't expect was that Natsuki—that seemingly ordinary teacher—one day displayed amazing power in front of her. She also seemed to realize that the image of a certain man had long been deeply engraved in her heart.

After realizing her true feelings, Mai found that her previously dull school life was becoming subtly more interesting every day.

She looked forward to coming to the academy every day and seeing Natsuki's smiling face as she greeted her, which made her feel full of energy for the day's work.

She also fantasized that when she encountered danger again, a man would appear in time to pull her back from the terrible abyss to reality.

She even imagined a future day when she and Xia Mu would be walking home, with a cute little girl in between, skipping and jumping and calling out "Daddy and Mommy".

Thinking of this, Mai couldn't help but cover her face, feeling an unprecedented sense of shame spreading from the bottom of her heart.

Mai, if you continue to be so timid, the man you like might be snatched away by another woman!

Thinking of this, a murderous glint appeared in Mai's eyes. Ignoring her physical weakness, she turned off the shower and turned around, her back exuding a resolute aura!

……

Back to the present.

The delicate touch on his back suddenly stirred up waves in Xia Mu's heart, which had been calmed down.

In particular, her murmurs, tinged with a hint of longing, were like gunpowder, completely igniting the man's passion.

"Xiamu..."

He turned around, and the scene before him seemed to have occurred in some memory before, but compared to the last time, the visual impact was greatly enhanced.

"Xia Mu...do you think...I'm beautiful?"

Mai turned her head slightly, her shy expression further enhancing her alluring beauty. Even Natsuki couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Why is there no response?

Is it that my charm is not enough?

"Xia Mu... answer me quickly... am I beautiful?"

When questioned a second time, Xia Mu did not hesitate any longer. Amidst the beauty's exclamation, he picked her up by the waist and carried her straight to the bed.

Before long, a series of evocative sounds filled the small room.

So engrossed in his surroundings, Xia Mu didn't notice that at that moment, a faint golden holy light was seeping from the surface of the cross necklace.

Then, the holy light entered Mai's body and slowly began to transform her body.

Normally, with Xia Mu's current strength, an ordinary person would obviously not be able to sustain such prolonged exercise, which has always been his concern.

But at this moment, the holy light transformed the other person's body in a special way to the point that it could withstand Xia Mu's power. It even planted some seeds of the future within Mai's body, waiting for the moment to quietly sprout.

Finally, as the final moment arrived, a bright light flashed in Mai's pupils, and the clear cross stigmata mark appeared!

pat!

Mai could no longer support herself; her arms went limp, and she collapsed onto the soft bed.

She was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat streamed down her skin, giving it an even more vibrant rosy hue.

tired……

An indescribable sense of exhaustion spread throughout Mai's body, followed by an unprecedented sense of satisfaction that completely overwhelmed her mind and body.

In Mai's eyes, the cross stigmata slowly faded, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

"That's...wonderful..."

……

"Cool!"

Having just finished running twenty laps and doing five hundred push-ups and five hundred sit-ups, Xia Mu couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

Since his physical fitness improved, he has grown to love the feeling of intense exercise more and more. In particular, after each workout, he can clearly feel his body slowly improving in a subtle way!

Furthermore, this increase in strength did not cause any side effects like hair loss; otherwise, Xia Mu would not have been so persistent in his training.

Then, he patted Peter, who was already exhausted, and said, "Teacher Peter, have you rested enough? It's time to go back!"

After the incident at the Tokyo Gymnasium, Peter was "kicked" into the hospital by an "unknown force" and lay there obediently for several days.

Unexpectedly, just as Natsuki was about to take Sayuri to the hospital to visit him, he reappeared in front of him full of energy, even threatening to "outdo" Natsuki in the competition!

As expected, the "match" had barely begun when Peter was completely outmatched. It wasn't until Xia Mu urged him on that he finally got up, still gritting his teeth as he muttered:

"That damn Natsuki! It's one thing to be handsome, but his athletic ability is also amazing. I'm so envious..."

In his original plan, he wanted to use Sayuri's victory to establish a perfect coaching image for his students.

As a result, a mysterious event occurred, forcing the competition to be interrupted. Poor Peter returned to his previous state of frustration, which made him quite upset.

"Peter, when will I be able to become a peerless physical education teacher like you, Xia Mu? Sigh..."

Seeing Peter's dejected expression, Xia Mu wanted to say that you need to have good looks to make a living like this, but instead of directly criticizing him, she comforted him:

"With Peter's professional abilities, becoming the coach of other clubs in the academy, such as the soccer club or the basketball club, should be a piece of cake, right?"

Peter glanced at him, a look of disdain on his face.

"Tch, I don't want those childish clubs! They're all just a bunch of immature little boys, nothing compared to the radiance of beautiful young women!"

"Speaking of which, how's the women's volleyball team doing, Coach Xia Mu? If you're planning to give up, I wouldn't mind taking over the coaching position for you!"

Seeing the other person raise their eyebrows, Xia Mu's lips twitched slightly: "Teacher Peter, you'd better pray for yourself!"

After saying that, she ignored Peter behind her and walked straight ahead. The decisiveness in her turn drew infatuated looks from the girls exercising around her.

"Teacher Xia Mu is so handsome..."

"Hey! Xia Mu! Don't go yet, wait for me..."

However, thanks to Peter's reminder, Xia Mu realized that he had rarely gone to see the women's volleyball team since the last incident with the bound spirit.

Although Xia Mu's initial promise was that he would only assume the role of honorary coach, he thought that he should probably find some time to go and check on their situation...

With that in mind, the two of them walked to the office.

Just then, the school bell rang, and a female teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses stood up from her seat with her textbook. Her tight-fitting clothes did not conceal her charm; on the contrary, they accentuated her slender curves.

Judging from Peter's completely stunned expression, her "allure" attribute had unknowingly reached its maximum level!

When Mai saw Natsuki, her face remained expressionless. However, as they brushed past each other, she gently raised her hand and touched Natsuki's arm, a captivating smile appearing on her lips.

"Ms. Natsuki, if you have time, could you please take some time to help Mai with her psychological issues? Hehehe..."

Before Xia Mu could respond, she had already turned and left leisurely, leaving only her bell-like laughter echoing in Xia Mu's ears.

Just then, Peter snapped out of his daze. He looked at Natsuki, pointed in the direction Mai had gone, and said in an incredulous tone, "Natsuki-sensei, Mai-sensei, hasn't she become even more beautiful?"

"Is there?"

Xia Mu responded casually, walked to his desk, picked up his psychology textbook, and prepared to go to class.

As she passed Peter, she overheard him muttering, "Speaking of which, Mai-sensei doesn't seem to have a boyfriend, does she? Maybe I should try pursuing her—"

Xia Mu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and a devilish whisper rang in Peter's ear: "Teacher Peter, how dare you?!"

Startled, Peter immediately stood up straight: "I was wrong, Ms. Natsuki, please forgive me!"

Only after Xia Mu left did Peter pat his chest, a look of relief appearing on his face: "Phew, I almost thought I was going to die just now..."

Chapter 96 Changes in the Volleyball Team

Finally, after a day of "heavy" teaching tasks, Xia Mu walked out of the classroom. The soft chirping of birds around him made him smile slightly.

"See you tomorrow, Teacher Xia Mu!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
