Just then, the sound of keys opening the door echoed from the entrance. Lin Chen smiled faintly, retracted his arm, turned around, and sat down on the sofa.
Bibi Dong took the opportunity to immediately return to her room and close the door. Her delicate body leaned against the door, and she took a deep breath.
After a while, the calmed-down Bibi Dong recalled the previous scene. Her two slender legs trembled slightly, and she instinctively felt a strange change in her body. Bibi Dong, her face full of horror, murmured to herself, "No... how could I... He is Xue'er and Nana's husband!"
...
Ever since that day, Bibi Dong intentionally avoided Lin Chen. Only when Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were present would she interact with Lin Chen as if nothing had happened. Once they were alone, Bibi Dong would lock herself in her bedroom. What Bibi Dong was fortunate about was that Qian Renxue and Hu Liena had not noticed anything unusual between them!
Two days later, Lin Chen helped Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu move. Perhaps because the two girls rented a place early, Lin Chen did not encounter any annoying 'love rivals' as in the original work!
Lin Chen also enjoyed the dinner personally prepared by Mu Nujiao. Ai Tutu really did not lie.
Mu Nujiao's cooking was indeed good. Although it couldn't compare to a top chef, Mu Nujiao's cooking was definitely more than enough to open a small restaurant.
From this day on, Lin Chen also began his cohabitation life, effortlessly traveling between the two places, never tiring of it.
With a goal, Qian Renxue and Hu Liena cultivated even harder, often fighting on the battlefield together. Although they were always utterly defeated each time, they fought with increasing bravery.
The two girls' bravery delighted Lin Chen, but it tormented Bibi Dong. Whenever this happened, her body and mind were doubly tortured.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the new semester began. New students streamed into Mingzhu Academy. Lin Chen took Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao to register.
The three walked side by side on the campus of Mingzhu Academy, the handsome man and beautiful women forming a unique sight.
Mu Nujiao, dressed in her school uniform, had a unique charm. Her tall figure, fair and slender long legs, and stunning beauty, every move and smile, were captivating.
Ai Tutu's appearance was slightly inferior to Mu Nujiao's, but she excelled in her 'assets'. Her large 'headlights' seemed to sparkle, attracting many gazes, and from time to time, whistles could be heard!
Compared to the bold behavior of the boys, the girls were much more reserved, merely watching the handsome Lin Chen from afar, with a hint of hatred in their eyes when they looked at Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.
The brand new university campus life was something to look forward to. Ai Tutu was extremely excited, chattering non-stop along the way!
"Lin Chen, your strength isn't that great, is it? We've walked for so long, and it seems no one recognizes you?" Ai Tutu teased with a smile.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Ai Tutu and said nonchalantly, "This is called being low-key, okay!"
"Pfft," Ai Tutu chuckled.
Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes at Ai Tutu, then looked at Lin Chen and asked curiously, "Lin Chen, what's your current strength?"
More than a year ago, Lin Chen was just a high school student like her, but Lin Chen had already become a hunter, effortlessly venturing into danger.
Mu Nujiao already had a slight good impression of Lin Chen. Lin Chen, both in his demeanor and appearance, met her requirements for a partner. So, out of curiosity, Mu Nujiao used her family's connections to investigate Lin Chen.
The result shocked her. She clearly remembered that the family's senior members sternly told her not to investigate Lin Chen further. After understanding Mu Nujiao's relationship with Lin Chen, that senior member, contrary to his usual behavior, excitedly instructed her to definitely maintain a good relationship with Lin Chen.
As a scion of an aristocratic family, how could Mu Nujiao not understand the seriousness of the matter?
Regardless of Lin Chen's talent, he had a backer that even the Mu family could not afford to offend.
Marriages of aristocratic families were often not decided by themselves, usually through alliances.
Clearly, at that moment, Mu Nujiao had already realized that she had become a potential tool for family marriage alliances, which was undoubtedly tragic.
However, what was fortunate was that this person was Lin Chen. Not only did she not feel any aversion, but she secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Lin Chen answered casually, "Just so-so!"
It wasn't that Lin Chen didn't want to say, it was just that Lin Chen was afraid of disheartening them!
Besides, normally at this age, most people were still lingering in the Intermediate-level. Even if he told them his true cultivation, they might not believe him.
Instead of explaining, it was better to let them discover it themselves. Why waste his breath!
Ai Tutu said with a displeased look, "What does 'just so-so' mean? Elementary-level, Intermediate-level, or Advanced-level?"
Before Lin Chen could answer, Mu Nujiao said, "It's okay if you don't want to say, but can we have a match another day?"
Lin Chen carefully sized up Mu Nujiao and saw her lips slightly curved upwards, very confident. Lin Chen smiled, "Okay, I'll have a match with you another day, but since it's a match, there should be some stakes, right?"
As soon as he spoke, a hint of excitement appeared on Ai Tutu's face.
Mu Nujiao pondered. She originally wanted to test Lin Chen's strength through a match since he was unwilling to reveal it. She didn't think she was Lin Chen's opponent, after all, more than a year ago, Lin Chen had already become a hunter. She still had that much self-awareness.
After a moment of thought, Mu Nujiao said, "You name it. As long as it's not excessive, I can agree!"
Lin Chen slowly leaned into Mu Nujiao's ear and whispered a few words.
Mu Nujiao's fair face immediately turned crimson. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Chen. After a long while, she nodded and said, "Okay, I agree!"
Ai Tutu, standing beside them, said angrily, "You two are too much, whispering secrets!"
Lin Chen chuckled and ignored Ai Tutu. Ai Tutu could only pester Mu Nujiao, asking questions non-stop.
Unknowingly, Lin Chen had finished registering the two girls and given them some instructions. He then went to the main campus.
Upon arriving at the main campus, Lin Chen headed straight for the Dean Xiao's office.
"Lin Chen, why are you here?"
Dean Xiao was a little surprised to see Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said with a chuckle, "Dean, didn't you ask me to enter the main campus!"
"That's right, I did ask you to enter the main campus. Why aren't you reporting and coming to me instead?" Dean Xiao asked, puzzled.
Lin Chen said, "Dean, isn't the Summoning Courtyard's resources too scarce? I want to transfer to the Fire Courtyard, and by the way, I want to challenge the Fire Courtyard's ranking."
Hearing this, Dean Xiao's old face twitched, and he cursed with a smile, "Get lost! You still have the nerve to challenge the ranking? Why don't I just give you the first place in the Fire Courtyard!"
"That works too, Dean!" Lin Chen chuckled and said.
