236: Chen Xuan understands me!

“Alright, alright, I know, this isn't your fault, Stepmother!”

Chen Xuan gently hugged Dragon YuYan, comforting her well.

But emotions, once they came, were hard to leave. The more he comforted her, the more Dragon YuYan became agitated, clinging tightly to Chen Xuan to release her emotions.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly.

“Yu Gang, oh Yu Gang, you really don't cherish beautiful women like this, so don't blame me!”

He extended his arms, and with a slight effort, he lifted Dragon YuYan in a princess carry.

Her crying stopped abruptly, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Chen Xuan's neck.

She was startled by this action and instantly became somewhat clear-headed.

“Xuan, Chen Xuan, what are you doing? Quick, quickly put Stepmother down!”

Chen Xuan saw her sober up, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

‘Forget it, it's only the first day, no rush.’

“Then are you still crying?”

“No, not crying anymore! You be good, quickly… No, why are you going to my room?!”

Dragon YuYan thrashed wildly in his arms, but Chen Xuan, seeing her sober, didn't dare to make her behave. He could only remain silent and carry her back to her room.

After settling Dragon YuYan, Chen Xuan walked to the doorway:

“Seeing you so sad just now, my own heart also became sad, so I don't want you, Stepmother, to continue being sad. I was presumptuous just now.”

“No, it's fine. It's Stepmother who made a fool of herself in front of you. Look, your clothes are all wet from my tears. Take them off and give them to me, I'll wash them for you!” Dragon YuYan said with a flushed face.

“Uh, that's not necessary, I can force the water out with Spiritual Qi.”

“Why are you being so polite with me!” Dragon YuYan didn't listen. With a wave of her small hand, Chen Xuan's clothes flew towards her.

“What happened today… don't tell anyone, understand?”

“Mm, nothing happened today, I didn't see anything!” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Dragon YuYan's face instantly turned red.

Isn't this burying one's head in the sand!

Seeing this, Chen Xuan burst out laughing. He looked at Dragon YuYan's shy appearance, feeling a little smug.

“Stepmother, you're so cute!”

As if by a ghost's hand, Chen Xuan blurted out this sentence.

Dragon YuYan's face became even redder upon hearing this. She glared at Chen Xuan playfully.

“You only know how to tease Stepmother!”

Chen Xuan laughed heartily, then turned and left.

Watching Chen Xuan leave, Dragon YuYan's intelligence took over.

“What have I done…! I, I clearly went there just now wanting to see him shy and then tease him, so why did I end up being the one making a fool of myself?!”

“But he understands me so well, understands all my difficulties… He even carried me into the room just now, this is no longer something ordinary master and disciple should do, right?!”

“Chen Xuan… is truly poisonous! I should try to interact with him less from now on, otherwise… I'm really afraid I'll do something irreversible!”

After saying that, she slowly got up and walked to a mirror.

Even though the person in the mirror had cried for a long time, she still looked very cold and aloof, neither delicate nor gentle and virtuous.

It could be said that she had nothing to do with the word 'cute'.

“Chen Xuan said I'm cute, am I really… cute?”

After muttering this to herself, she couldn't help but look at the bed, where Chen Xuan's scent-infused clothes still lay. Her cheeks reddened again.

“Sigh, this little… fellow, is really a headache!”

Saying that, she folded Chen Xuan's clothes and placed them on her bedside, like a precious treasure.

On Chen Xuan's side.

After returning to his room, he began to ponder his next plan.

Although he had successfully made Dragon YuYan develop a considerable liking for him just now, it would still require more time and opportunities to completely capture her heart.

Moreover, Dragon YuYan was a smart woman, and she had a deep affection for Yu Gang, so she wouldn't be easily captured by him.

So they needed some time to settle. Chen Xuan decided to put this matter aside for now and focus on Cultivating.

During this period, he had also accumulated a lot of experience that needed to be properly digested.

Thus, in the following days, Chen Xuan, besides contributing Peach Blossom, diligently Cultivated.

For the first few days, Dragon YuYan didn't dare to see him at all, constantly avoiding something, until a few days later, the two finally met officially, but not alone, as Yu Gang was also present.

“Chen Xuan, Cultivating must be hard. Come, have a Spiritual Fruit!”

“Is it a Peach? Or a grape?” Chen Xuan smiled slightly and stopped meditating.

Actually, he wasn't Cultivating at all, just consolidating his own Realm. True Cultivating would have to be the main course with Qing Wu and the other protagonists.

Hmm… Dragon YuYan was an appetizer, Zhu Zhu was already in his mouth, ready to be eaten at any time.

“Neither! This is a unique Spiritual Fruit from my Dragon family. Eating it can strengthen your body! You are a doctor, so your physical quality must not be good. Just eat more of my Spiritual Fruit.” Dragon YuYan glared at Chen Xuan playfully.

“Oh, is that so! As long as it's Stepmother's Spiritual Fruit, I'll eat every bit of it!”

Yu Gang frowned at the sight.

He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was. Perhaps it was because this body-strengthening Spiritual Fruit was given to Chen Xuan, and he felt pained about it himself.

“The Headmaster will arrive tomorrow. You should get ready. Once you reach the Academy, you'll have to prepare for the Academy Grand Competition. There might be members injured then, and that's where you'll be needed.”

“Teacher, don't worry, I will do my best!”

“Hmm, but Tang Sirui and the others were personally trained by me, so the chances of them getting injured are not high. You probably won't be needed much, but just in case, that's why I'm bringing you along.”

Yu Gang suddenly contradicted himself with this statement.

It wasn't that he looked down on Chen Xuan, but deep down, he always felt a bit of aversion towards him, and he couldn't explain why.

Just now, when he saw Chen Xuan's confident look, he instinctively wanted to discourage him, which even made Dragon YuYan frown.

Soon, the next day arrived. Zhou Kai, the Headmaster of Monster Academy, rushed over, and the Zhang family members also came out to greet him.

“Headmaster Zhou's presence truly brings glory to my Zhang family, hahaha!” Zhang Wei said with a laugh as he greeted him.

“Old Zhang, you're being too formal. We've known each other for so many years! No need, no need!” Zhou Kai also laughed heartily, as if their previous conflicts no longer existed.

After an exchange of pleasantries, Zhou Kai's gaze swept over and saw Chen Xuan standing behind Zhang Wei.

“This must be Chen Xuan, right? As expected, he's a talented and extraordinary-looking young man, hahaha!”

Chen Xuan stepped forward proactively, cupped his fists, and bowed: “Hello, Headmaster. I am Teacher's new student, Chen Xuan. Please take care of me in the future!”

Zhou Kai sized up Chen Xuan with interest: “Hmm, you're very good. You look like a promising talent!”

“Of course! After all, he came from my Zhang family, so he definitely has boundless prospects!” Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Zhou Kai didn't speak, but instead looked at Zhang Wei indifferently.

The moment he opened his mouth, he knew what kind of nonsense he was going to spew.
