Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

His good friend Jin Xi also achieved good grades.

Even Gu Yue's overall physical fitness is a level above his and Jin Xi's.

Are they human? Are they human? Are they human?

Zhang Yangzi was internally screaming.

Ironically, the three of them—no, plus Wang Jinxi's Ancient Dragon King—are actually not human. In other words, an eagle has infiltrated a dragon feast; how could it not be so devastated that it becomes withdrawn?

"Test complete." Wu Changkong organized all the test data, put it into a folder, and closed it completely with a flick of his finger.

She raised her eyes to look at the crowd, and her clear, cold voice slowly rang out:

"Today's test focuses on basic physical abilities. Results don't represent everything. Martial Soul characteristics and combat skills are equally important for Soul Masters. Some students shouldn't be discouraged. Dismissed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong turned around and prepared to leave.

After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly turned back to Tang Wulin and said, "Tang Wulin, come with me."

Tang Wulin immediately followed.

Xie Xie followed along eagerly.

Zhang Yangzi stood there, feeling only the chill of the wind.

Who should I select? Who should I select?!

By the time Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin finished their discussion, it was already dark.

Just as Tang Wulin left, Wu Changkong's dormitory door was gently pushed open a crack.

Xie Xie's fluffy head peeked in through the crack, his dark green eyes sparkling, and it looked as if an invisible dog tail was wagging happily behind him as he looked into the room with anticipation.

"Teacher Wu, are you hungry?"

Xie Xie stared intently at Wu Changkong with his dark green eyes.

Wu Changkong had already changed out of her cool and aloof outfit and into a misty blue duck-patterned pajama set, the loose fabric covering her tall and slender figure.

It has lost some of the cold and stern atmosphere of the classroom, and gained a lot of relaxed, homey vibes.

Her usual cold and aloof demeanor was softened by a languidness, all her sharpness gone, making her appear somewhat...

Clever?

Wu Changkong raised his eyes slightly and stared at Xie Xie, who was looking expectantly, for a few seconds.

She didn't say much, slowly got up and walked to the refrigerator, reaching out to open the door. The refrigerator was packed full of all kinds of fresh ingredients, a neat and orderly mix of meat and vegetables.

"What would you like to eat?" Wu Changkong asked in a flat tone.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's eyes lit up instantly. He pushed open the door and immediately threw himself onto the soft sofa.

Wow!

Xie Xie lazily rolled over on the sofa, shielding his eyes from the glaring light above him, and counted on his fingers:

"I want stir-fried beef tenderloin! And one more... garlic omelet!"

Ever since he first got his ointment applied at Wu Changkong's place and had a free meal, he has hardly ever gone to the cafeteria for dinner.

Because the dance teacher's cooking is absolutely delicious!!

Not only that, Wu Changkong is also adept at making snacks and pastries, making him a walking encyclopedia!

After trying it the first time, Xie Xie could never quit.

Every day after school, he would rush to Wu Changkong's dormitory. Applying ointment was just an excuse; the real purpose was to get a free meal. Occasionally, when Wu Changkong didn't want to cook, he would shamelessly stay in the dormitory and refuse to leave.

In the end, Wu Changkong had no choice but to add another task to his already monotonous daily life.

Attending classes, practicing meditation, and grocery shopping.

Wu Changkong didn't want to buy so many groceries, mainly because Xie Xie was sometimes picky about food and also a man of action.

If he wants to eat fish, there's none left in the refrigerator.

He put down the bowl, slipped on his shoes, grabbed her, and rushed to the market. Ten minutes later, he returned carrying a large fish and stared at her longingly.

Wu Changkong: ...

She couldn't possibly let Xie Xie go hungry and then throw him out, could she?

Long Hengxu: Shouldn't we?!

In the end, it evolved into what it is now.

Wu Changkong glanced indifferently at the person sprawled out on the sofa, his tone calm but brooking no argument: "Just eating meat isn't enough, we need a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, so add a vegetable dish."

Upon hearing the word "vegetarian dishes," Xie Xie's brightened face instantly fell.

He looked up at her pitifully, "Teacher Wu, could you... not eat?"

He understands the reasons, but he just doesn't like to eat it! Just thinking about those bland vegetable leaves makes his mouth feel tasteless.

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, but said nothing, just staring quietly at Xie Xie.

Xie Xie felt uneasy under her gaze and gave in, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Teacher Wu. Please don't look at me like that, it's creepy!"

Seeing that Xie Xie had agreed, Wu Changkong deftly began selecting vegetables with a flick of his fingers.

Her pale fingers picked up the water spinach that Xie Xie had barely managed to eat last time, and then added a few pieces of minced garlic, a few eggs, and some chili peppers.

Finally, she took out a piece of frozen fresh meat from the bottom of the refrigerator, turned around and went straight into the kitchen.

As Xie Xie watched Wu Changkong's retreating figure, he suddenly felt an urge to call out "Mom!"

Chapter 52 Xie Xie: Mom!

The soft light in the kitchen fell on Wu Changkong, giving him a subtle, homey look.

She still had those cool and aloof features, her expression indifferent, but her movements were very meticulous. Her fair fingers deftly picked the water spinach, the leaves were lush and green, and she arranged them neatly.

Turn on the fire, pour in the oil, and the oil temperature rises.

Wu Changkong gently controlled the heat with his soul power, and the minced garlic burst into a rich aroma the moment it hit the pan.

Water spinach is stir-fried in the pan for only a few seconds until it turns bright green and glossy. When it's done, even the edge of the plate is clean, making for a refreshing plate of garlic water spinach.

Turning around, she took a porcelain bowl, cracked an egg, added water, mixed it well, and filtered out the foam.

The movements were so slow and almost silent, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Xie Xie was still lying on the sofa, hugging a pillow. The cozy atmosphere of the room made him feel completely relaxed.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of garlic and eggs, and the soft clatter of kitchen utensils filled the air. Warm light shone on me, making me feel so comfortable that I felt drowsy.

As he watched, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, his head tilted to the side, and he quietly fell asleep, clutching his pillow.

The usually lively and boisterous boy was now sleeping soundly, completely unguarded. His long eyelashes drooped, his cheeks were soft, and even his breathing became shallow and steady, like an exhausted little animal.

When Wu Changkong brought out the last plate of stir-fried soul beast tenderloin, he immediately spotted the sleeping figure on the sofa.

She gently placed the dishes on the table one by one. The aroma of the three dishes wafted around them, and the steam rose gently, making the small room feel warm and cozy.

She walked slowly to the sofa, looked down at Xie Xie who was sleeping soundly, watched him silently for a few seconds, then leaned down slightly, stretched out her slender fingertips, and very lightly touched the tip of his nose.

"Thank you, Xie."

Her voice was lower and softer than usual, with a hint of coolness.

The boy grunted, groggily snuggling against the soft pillow, still not fully awake, and mumbled, "I'll sleep for another five minutes, soon..."

Wu Changkong raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

She called out again patiently, her tone still calm, but with a hint of barely perceptible indulgence:

"Get up, it's time to eat."

This sound finally pulled Xie Xie out of his drowsiness. His eyelashes trembled, and he was not fully awake yet.

Seeing this, Wu Changkong reached out and gently lifted him by the back of his collar, placing him steadily on a dining chair next to the dining table.

Xie Xie was gently lifted by the back of his collar and placed on the dining chair. He was still sleepy, his head was nodding, and sleep bubbles were still bubbling around.

A faint smile flickered across Wu Changkong's cool eyes, but he quickly regained his usual composure.

She turned around and went back to the kitchen to get two sets of plain white porcelain bowls and chopsticks. With her fingertips, she placed one pair in front of Xie Xie and then pushed the bowl of rice next to him.

The steam from the food rose gently, carrying the rich aroma of meat, the refreshing fragrance of vegetables, and the smooth aroma of eggs.

That alluring aroma was like a fine needle, "snap" puncturing Xie Xie's drowsy bubble.

Xie Xie woke up instantly, shook his head, and his dark green eyes lit up. When he saw the three tempting dishes in front of him, he immediately swallowed hard.

Before Wu Changkong could speak, he picked up his chopsticks first, placed a large piece of tender pork tenderloin into her bowl, and then excitedly put meat into his own bowl.

Xie Xie couldn't wait to stuff the tenderloin into his mouth. The fresh and tender meat flavor spread instantly on his tongue. It was chewy and flavorful. He ate it until his eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile, and he looked very satisfied.

After chewing a couple of bites, Xie Xie remembered what Wu Changkong had said about a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.

He hesitated for a moment, but still obediently picked up a piece of water spinach. The refreshing taste relieved the greasiness of the meat, and it tasted much better than he had imagined.

Wu Changkong ate his meal quietly, his movements light and elegant, occasionally glancing up at the boy who was wolfing down his food.

In less than fifteen minutes, Xie Xie had swept the plates off the table.

"belch!"

He let out a satisfied burp, slumped lazily in his chair, gently rubbing his stomach with a contented expression.

Wu Changkong slowly put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue and carefully wiped the corner of his lips. He looked up at Xie Xie and said in a calm tone, "Xie Xie, do you still remember the footwork I used in the practical training that day?"

"I remember!" Xie Xie said lazily.

Wu Changkong raised his eyebrows, looked at Xie Xie opposite him, and slowly asked, "Want to learn?"

Xie Xie instantly perked up and sat up straight. "Of course I want to!"

"This footwork is incredibly profound, but it doesn't belong to me alone; it belongs to an extremely powerful organization."

Wu Changkong said calmly, "If you want to learn, you must first join this organization."

"That's it? No problem!" Xie Xie agreed without hesitation.

Wu Changkong was slightly surprised, raising an eyebrow slightly: "You don't even know what kind of organization this is or what its rules are, yet you agree to join?"

Xie Xie waved his hand dismissively, "Would Teacher Wu harm me? I'll definitely listen to whatever Teacher Wu says."

Isn't it just the Tang Clan?

The leader of the Min Gong Hall will not only be my teacher in the future, but I will also be the next leader of the Min Gong Hall!

Wu Changkong was not surprised at all by Xie Xie's answer.

A slight smile played on her lips. "Okay, I'll be your introducer. Leave this to me."

"Dele!"

"This humble one thanks Teacher Wu Changkong for her unparalleled beauty, her ability to shame the moon and flowers, her charm that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky... (hundreds of words omitted here)!"

"..."

After lingering in Wu Changkong's dormitory for a while, Xie Xie went back to his room to sleep.

It's getting late, and I have class tomorrow.

The next day, after finishing his classes, Xie Xie had just returned to his dormitory after having a free meal at Wu Changkong's place when Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi blocked him at the door.

"Why aren't you two resting? What are you doing at my door?" Xie Xie was startled by the two doormen.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jinxi, who was usually taciturn, spoke first, "Tang Wulin and I have something we want to talk to you about."

Tang Wulin nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xie Xie, it's related to you too."

"Huh?" Xie Xie was puzzled, but he still opened the door with his key. "Then come in first, don't stand there like a door god."

After entering the room and sitting down, Wang Jinxi fell silent, unsure of how to begin.

Xie Xie knew that Wang Jinxi was always taciturn, so he turned to Tang Wulin and asked, "Tell me, Lao Tang, what's wrong?"

"It's like this..."
