46: Chapter 46 Brother, you smell so good!

Since the die was cast, the teachers from the other three major universities had nothing more to say and could only lament their own bad luck.

In truth, they hadn't expected to find any good seedlings in a remote place like Youfeng City, but seeing their competitor snatch away three Geniuses at once made it impossible for them to remain calm.

After struggling to extract himself from the wave of reporters surrounding them, Qian Mo waved goodbye to his friends.

On the way home.

[Ding! This mission has ended. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a total of 10,000 Flex Points, which can be exchanged for one mythical grade gacha draw or two legendary grade gacha draws.]

The System's notification sound rang out at the perfect time.

"Huh? I remember it only added up to 1,020 points before. Where did the rest come from?"

[Ding! The internet is a wonderful thing.]

Upon hearing the System's words, Qian Mo immediately realized that people at the scene must have posted the video of his Awakening online, leading to this unexpected result.

"I choose to exchange for the mythical grade gacha draw."

He already had one legendary grade draw from his interrogation at the Security Bureau; now that he had a mythical grade one as well, he could enjoy both.

"System, let's do the draw. Start with the legendary grade one."

The familiar gacha wheel appeared once again.

Unlike before, the wheel looked much more professional this time. Although it still contained abstract items like "Mysterious Black Stockings," they at least didn't take up much space.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'mysterious mask'.]

"Great, it's from the 'Mysterious' series again..."

Qian Mo shook his head helplessly, trying to console himself.

"Well, I was lucky last time, so it doesn't matter if my luck is a bit worse this time..."

[Ding! The 'mysterious mask' allows the host to change their appearance in the eyes of others at will. It cannot be seen through by Espers or Monsters less than three levels higher than the host, and it can block one fatal attack for the host.]

"Whoa! That's actually amazing!"

Qian Mo thought he had pulled a total dud, but it turned out he had been too hasty to judge.

"System, continue by using the mythical grade gacha draw."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a mythical grade item—star marrow, which can be used to Cultivate the Star Body.]

The mythical grade draw didn't involve a wheel; after a flash of red light, he could feel a bottle of viscous golden liquid appear in the System space.

Success brings high spirits. Coupled with the fact that he could take Xing Yaoyan away from Youfeng City in a month to the safe environment of Longxiang Ability University, he would no longer have to live in fear like he did here.

Under a red light.

Qian Mo's mind suddenly stirred, and he reached into his pocket to pull out a card. He clearly remembered that he hadn't brought anything but his phone when he left the house.

He saw writing on the card:

Qian Mo, right? Thanks for today.

Below the words was a drawn smiley face.

"Was it that person disguised as a staff member today... What's this, a provocation?"

Qian Mo flipped the card over; there was another sentence on the back.

I envy you, kid. You're eating well.

"Bizarre..."

...

In the house Qian Mo rented.

Xing Yaoyan looked at the 99+ messages from Hu Wang on her phone, her heart pounding like a drum.

She remembered that she hadn't told Hu Wang she had the ability to leave on her own, making him worry for nothing.

Of course, what made her most nervous was that the old fox Hu Wang had actually told Qian Mo about their business. Given Qian Mo's personality, he definitely wouldn't want her to be harmed in the slightest. What would he do to her when he got back...

Xing Yaoyan buried her entire wolf form under the quilt, squirming around in her nest as she thought about how to survive this crisis.

She sank her consciousness into her Spiritual Sea. Seeing Little Chaos floating there, she immediately drifted over, wanting to vent her anxiety.

But then she saw Little Chaos with its eyes tightly shut, looking completely burnt out.

She silently withdrew, not reflecting at all on which black-hearted boss had squeezed it into such a state.

"Click~"

The sound of the front door being pushed open.

"Ugh!"

Xing Yaoyan quickly lay down and stayed still, pretending she was already asleep.

What she didn't notice was that her white tail, sticking out from under the quilt, was wagging uneasily from side to side.

For a long time, everything was silent. It was as if the sound of the door opening had just been her imagination.

After a slight tremor of the quilt, a white wolf's head poked out from inside.

"Xiao Yan, you're not being good~ You're even pretending to sleep."

The familiar voice came from above her head.

"Qian Mo! Are you a ghost?!"

Xing Yaoyan was startled. Aside from her homeroom teacher in her past life, what normal person walked without making a sound...

She turned her head and saw the youth with a stern face, looking quite angry.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Xing Yaoyan immediately wilted, her tail drooping in a submissive posture.

"You should know why I'm angry..."

Qian Mo's voice betrayed no emotion.

"How should I punish you? Naughty little wolf..."

"Ying!"

Realizing she had unconsciously let out such a cute sound, Xing Yaoyan immediately covered her mouth with her paws, then grumbled defiantly in a small voice:

"As if you're worthy of punishing me..."

But before she could finish, she felt herself instantly pulled into a warm embrace, followed by a fragrance that was intoxicating to a wolf.

"Do you know how worried I was? You are my family—my only family now. I don't want anything to happen to you..."

Qian Mo's voice trembled slightly.

He was no longer the emotionless killing machine of his past life. After merging with the memories and feelings of this world's Qian Mo, his emotions could fluctuate like any other youth.

Although he couldn't yet truly understand the source of these emotional fluctuations, he knew he wanted to protect this Little White Wolf and his family. He had felt this way ever since she agreed to become his family.

A wet coolness came from his neck, as if Xiao Yan was licking him.

Qian Mo couldn't help but feel a bit of secret joy: Does she feel the same way I do?

But before long, he realized something was wrong. The moisture on his neck increased, even soaking his collar.

This didn't seem like a gesture of affection; instead, it was like... licking a delicious piece of candy!

Qian Mo hurriedly pushed Xing Yaoyan away, only to see his white wolf with dazed eyes, her mouth still repeating the licking motion as she muttered:

"Hehe... Brother, you smell so good... *slurp*... So tasty..."
