Jiang Yunzhou turned his head at the sound and saw Liu Erlong covered in the 'trophies' he had left behind.
There were hickeys and bruises, like red flowers paired with green leaves!
He clicked his tongue twice, looking at Liu Erlong with a half-smile, momentarily hesitant to remove them.
These were full of achievements!
However, she was the dean after all, and even though he was reluctant, if he didn't treat her, she probably wouldn't be able to go out and face people.
"Alright, I'll give you a shot right now!"
He raised his hand and waved, and a green light enveloped her. In a short while, Liu Erlong had recovered completely.
"Phew~~"
"That's much better..."
Liu Erlong exhaled. She felt much more comfortable now; her backache and sore waist were completely gone, though she was still a bit mentally fatigued.
Hmm, she still needed sleep to recover.
Without the 'decorations' Jiang Yunzhou had left, she looked much more refreshed now.
Compared to yesterday's Liu Erlong, there was a hint of mature charm in her eyes and brows now.
Jiang Yunzhou was filled with emotion; this was the transformation between a woman and a girl.
When two people love each other, this should be a natural progression.
He had originally intended to go to Tang Yuehua to gauge her attitude, but it hadn't worked out!
He figured there were too many people in that place, so he hadn't dared to take the next step.
Later, because of this, he unexpectedly ran into Xue Qinghe at the Academy and even had a bit of an unpleasant incident.
That's why he met Liu Erlong at night, intending to have a heart-to-heart and a drink to relieve boredom.
He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.
Jiang Yunzhou tidied up and slipped into the kitchen, busying himself. Before long, a pot of lean meat porridge was bubbling, emitting an enticing aroma.
He gently woke Liu Erlong, who was still lingering in bed.
"Sister, why don't you get up and eat something before you go back to sleep."
Liu Erlong was forcibly 'booted up,' and her stomach was indeed a bit hungry. She gave Jiang Yunzhou a slightly resentful look.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating! Hmph... you brute, you don't understand the pain of the flesh!"
Seeing her so cautious, Jiang Yunzhou secretly chuckled.
Even if there were injuries, his healing Spirit Ability was very powerful. She should have recovered by now, right? Did she really need to be so careful?
But he dared not actually ask.
"Hmm, this porridge tastes good. I didn't expect you to have this skill!" Her taste buds were awakened, and she ate an extra bowl.
Jiang Yunzhou wasn't idle either, sitting beside her and eating with her.
The pot of porridge was quickly finished by the two of them, as he was truly hungry too.
Liu Erlong had regained some strength, and seeing his smug look, she felt a bit defiant!
She sat directly on his lap again, blinked, and said, "Are you full? Do you want to eat a little more?"
Jiang Yunzhou looked out the window.
Goodness, the sun was already high in the sky. If his three disciples couldn't find him, they would probably start overthinking again.
"How about we continue tonight? My disciples will worry if they don't see me."
Liu Erlong's smile vanished, and she narrowed her eyes: "This old woman... ahem, alright, I'll wait for you, Sister."
Although she was rejected, Liu Erlong couldn't have been happier. She had only wanted to test if he had a limit.
This performance clearly showed that she had the upper hand!
Seeing him still looking energetic, Liu Erlong was genuinely afraid of being counterproductive... After cleaning up, Jiang Yunzhou said:
"Sister, I'm leaving first. You rest up well and wait for me, okay?"
"Go, go, go, hurry up and leave!"
Liu Erlong's old face flushed, and she directly pushed him out the door. With a 'bang,' the door closed.
After confirming that Jiang Yunzhou had gone far, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter, covering her hot face and muttering softly:
"He's really a handful."
"No, no, I need to go out and lie low... for five days?"
She stretched her limbs and added, "Never mind, I'll leave here first..."
She quickly changed her clothes, cleaned up the battlefield, and slipped out of the small house without looking back.
Supreme Academy
Jiang Yunzhou, feeling light and happy, strolled back to the Academy.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving, he saw Zhu Zhuqing, the Fifth, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu fighting intensely in the Academy, with only Ning Rongrong on the side giving pointers.
He stopped and watched for a while, and indeed, in just one night, their progress was visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Yunzhou slowly approached, and the five also noticed his presence.
"Fighting well, keep it up." Seeing this, Jiang Yunzhou quickly gave instructions and headed towards the small courtyard.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others didn't think much after hearing him and continued their battle.
Ning Rongrong, having nothing to do, jogged forward, hugged his arm, and blinked her eyes as she asked, "Teacher, I didn't see you leave? How did you come back from outside?"
After she finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow slightly, leaned closer to sniff, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.
"Teacher, why do you still smell of a woman?"
Jiang Yunzhou froze. What was going on?
Did all women have dog noses? How could they all smell someone else's scent on him?
He quickly covered her mouth and lowered his voice: "Don't shout, Teacher just went climbing a few mountains to exercise!"
His appearance made Ning Rongrong even more certain, and her expression grew increasingly sour.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and then her nose tingled, and her eyes reddened slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunzhou quickly pulled her aside until they were out of sight of the other four.
"What are you trying to do? Hold it in!"
Ning Rongrong quickly sniffed, but her voice was still choked: "Teacher, did... did you go out and have a secret affair?"
"So you didn't leave early, but rather didn't come back all night, right?"
She had figured it out; she just hadn't thought in that direction before.
Now, combining Jiang Yunzhou's reaction and all the details on him, wasn't it obvious?
Jiang Yunzhou was stunned. How could she have guessed it right on the first try?
"Uh, well... actually, I just climbed mountains all night. Don't overthink it."
Ning Rongrong thought to herself: Do you take me for a fool? I've read countless storybooks, bah, what a clumsy excuse.
Sigh, something got into her eye, she couldn't hold it back.
Tears came instantly, pattering down: "Wuwu, Teacher, I was here first..."
At this moment, Jiang Yunzhou had a splitting headache.
"Oh, don't cry yet. If you attract them all, will you be happy?"
Ning Rongrong tried hard to hold back her tears, pouting and glaring at him resentfully.
She clearly looked extremely wronged.
"Teacher, you're biased!"
Jiang Yunzhou glared at her and said, "What's this about being biased or not? Tell me, how old are you now? What are you thinking about all day?"
Ning Rongrong was clearly unconvinced. She said with a hurt expression:
"Teacher, I'm just too sad, do you know? You are my entire World now. If you make me sad, it's like the whole World makes me sad."
"And I'm afraid that if you find someone you like, you won't like us anymore."
This was the first time Jiang Yunzhou had seen Ning Rongrong like this.
"Don't be sad. Teacher won't stop liking you all."
"Alright, hurry back and cultivate."
