A month passed quickly. Time always seemed to slip by when life was filled with constant cultivation, teaching, and more than a little mischief.
On a quiet morning, Yuan Longxuan awoke from a deep sleep. Today marked the final day of enrollment for Tianshui Academy this year.
But before he could think about that, he became aware of the soft weight pressed against his chest. In his arms lay a beautiful girl in maid attire, her catlike ears twitching faintly, her cheeks flushed pink as she dozed in exhaustion. This was Zhu Zhuyun, his playful "cat-maid," who had been keeping him company since yesterday afternoon.
Judging by her peaceful, tired expression, she had been thoroughly satisfied.
Yuan Longxuan smiled knowingly. He prided himself on good time management, even when it came to his women. He made sure each of them had their share of his attention. His schedule was almost like a calendar of affection:
Monday – accompany Bibi Dong at the Spirit Hall.
Tuesday – spend time at Moon Pavilion with Yuehua.
Wednesday – venture into Star Dou Forest with Ah Wu and Ah Yin.
Thursday – visit Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu.
Friday – with no classes scheduled, he devoted his time to Zhu Zhuyun, indulging her until she was weak in the knees.
Despite Zhu Zhuyun still addressing herself as his servant, Yuan Longxuan no longer saw her that way. In his eyes, she was already his woman. The maid identity was just a playful act between them.
He chuckled to himself. Out of seven days, he still had two left unclaimed. Did that mean he was being too reserved? After all, some other so-called "protagonists" in this world had girlfriends by the dozen before even turning ten years old. Meanwhile, he was already twenty-one and only had… one, two, three… seven partners.
"…Hmph. That feels a bit lacking."
Leaning close, he whispered softly in Zhu Zhuyun's ear, "This is a reward for being my little maid these past few days—take it."
He placed a ferocious beast-level Nether White Tiger torso bone into her arms.
Zhu Zhuyun stirred faintly, her lips parting in a weak sound. "Mm…" She was too tired to say much more. After all, they had been together for an entire day and night. Her body and spirit demanded rest.
Yuan Longxuan tucked the soul bone into her hands, summoned an Ultimate Douluo-level puppet as a bodyguard, and stationed it within her shadow to keep her safe.
After dressing neatly, he stepped out of the room with a light stride. Zhu Zhuyun shared a dormitory with her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing, and it would have been awkward to continue such indulgence in front of her. Of course, Zhu Zhuqing already knew what was going on—he hadn't exactly hidden it. In fact, he had openly carried Zhu Zhuyun away in her presence once.
But Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. Knowing was one thing; confronting it was another. Yuan Longxuan simply shrugged.
Girls are precious, lolis even more so, and seductive women? Worth everything.
That was his creed. He loved mature women, adored cute lolis, and appreciated the beauty of youthful maidens. To put it plainly....he was an unashamed connoisseur of women.
And sooner or later, even the most innocent girl would mature into the type he favored most.
Outside, the academy gates were bustling with noise.
Today was the last day of enrollment, and many families had brought their daughters in hopes of them joining Tianshui.
At the entrance, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, the two vice-captains of the academy's team, were busy helping with registration.
Inside the courtyard, Liu Erlong, Dean Han Ruyan, and Xiao Wu sat together, chatting as they kept an eye on the proceedings.
"Brother Yuan!"
The voice rang out just as Yuan Longxuan approached the gate. Shui Yue'er, who had been standing behind her elder sister, spotted him instantly.
With a delighted cry, she sprinted forward and leapt into his arms.
Thump!
She hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.
"Brother Yuan, the yoga technique you taught me....I still don't fully understand it. Could you go over it with me again?"
Her big eyes shone with expectation as she rubbed her cheek affectionately against his arm.
Before he could answer, Han Ruyan walked over, her beautiful face showing a hint of sternness. She grabbed Shui Yue'er by the collar and pulled her back.
"Yue'er," she said firmly, "if you don't understand something about the yoga technique, you can come ask your Dean. There's no need to trouble Instructor Yuan."
Shui Yue'er pouted as she was deposited back beside Shui Bing'er, clearly unhappy.
The other team members covered their mouths, stifling their laughter at the scene.
The System's familiar voice chimed in Yuan Longxuan's mind:
[Shui Yue'er Favorability: 95%]
[Shui Bing'er Favorability: 92%]
[Xue Wu Favorability: 94%]
[Shen Liuyu Favorability: 93%]
[Yu Hairou Favorability: 95%]
[Han Ruyan Favorability: 95%]
Yuan Longxuan's mood lifted as he read the values. High favorability all around....proof that his charm was working wonders.
As for Zhu Zhuqing and Wu Ling, they were still young and difficult to handle. He would wait patiently.
After all, he had earned these affections honestly, little by little over two years.
They said three women made a play, but he was surrounded by six. Whatever small dramas unfolded among them, he was in no hurry. Time was on his side.
At that moment, Wu Ling, a lively little girl, came running up. "Master Yuan, I want a hug too!"
"Of course. Little Wu Ling is the sweetest," Yuan Longxuan said with a gentle smile.
