"Yo... isn't that Chen Ling, the Academy's heartthrob from Xiao A Class?"
"Quick, go take a look, go take a look..."
The White Ram people wandering nearby immediately crowded around when they saw Chen Ling.
Chen Ling had inexplicably become a popular figure at some point.
Various legends about him circulated throughout the Academy.
Legend has it that in the dead of night, he would quietly appear and give you a big slap by your bed, knocking you unconscious with one big slap, the kind you couldn't wake up from.
If your face mysteriously hurt when you woke up the next day, you had most likely suffered his cruel hand.
Of course, this was all a joke; this rumor was also first spread by the freshmen this year.
Only they had experienced Chen Ling's big slap and feared it from the bottom of their hearts.
More normal rumors included some saying he was a relative of Qi Tianming, and others saying he had a secret affair with Yan Ran.
Some also said he was a big shot from the Du Yin Association...
With so many different stories, it actually reflected everyone's curiosity about Chen Ling from the side.
Curiosity about his identity, strength, and background connections.
So they all crowded around.
Not just girls, but also boys, like the big-bearded Lin Ming, the guy who always wanted to figure out just how capable Chen Ling was...
Seeing this, Chu Jian, Mi Yao, and Yan Ran no longer observed from the shadows and walked over openly.
They might not have known that even in the shadows, they were exposed to Chen Ling's perception.
Suddenly, this fortune teller's stall was immediately surrounded by many people.
Anyone in the fortune-telling business would have some skill in reading people's expressions.
He could tell at a glance that the people around were all here for Chen Ling.
He felt a little surprised in his heart:
What's this person's background? He actually has such strong appeal?
He suddenly felt a bit timid.
However, this was also a great opportunity for him; these were all potential customers!
If they could all become his customers, he wouldn't need to open for a week!
Sui Li'er, who was slow to react, turned her head and saw everyone crowding around. She instinctively wanted to hug Chen Ling's arm.
But Chen Ling was currently squatting in front of her... she couldn't exactly lie on top of him.
So her little hands, with nowhere to rest, gently intertwined in front of her. She felt a little scared in her heart, but it didn't trigger the system's point deduction.
She stood very obediently behind Chen Ling and didn't disturb him.
"How is it?"
Chen Ling looked at him with a smile:
"Inside here are one hundred thousand curse coins. If you get it right, it's all yours."
"Ho-how much?"
The fortune teller's eyes widened as he looked at the thick stack of curse coins in Chen Ling's hand.
He had only felt there were many before, but he didn't expect there to be this many.
How could someone who lived by scrounging have ever seen so much money? This money was enough for him to live for a long time!
Since that's the case, I'll get serious!
"No problem!"
He immediately agreed to Chen Ling:
"What does the benefactor wish to have calculated?"
Chen Ling sneered:
"What can you calculate?"
"I can calculate marriage, fortune, recent luck, and also curse stars!"
!!!
Chen Ling didn't care, but Mi Yao, Chu Jian, and Yan Ran on the side narrowed their eyes.
The previous things were nonsense, but the curse star, why did he dare to say that?
Could it be that he really has the ability to calculate curse stars!?
Then what is Chen Ling's curse star!?
"What if you can't calculate it accurately?"
Chen Ling looked at the fortune teller in front of him with a smile.
The fortune teller had a strange feeling that if he couldn't calculate it accurately, he would be killed by the person in front of him.
He was instantly terrified! The hairs on his body stood on end.
"If, if I don't calculate it correctly, I won't charge."
Chen Ling smiled:
"That won't do. If you don't calculate it correctly, I'll strip you naked and hang you on the street."
"Oh-ho!?"
The people around were even more excited upon hearing this and immediately started jeering:
"Calculate for him! Calculate for him."
The fortune teller's face immediately turned ugly.
He could sense that Chen Ling was absolutely serious, and these people in front of him were clearly enjoying the spectacle.
If he really couldn't calculate it, then he would be finished...
He immediately wanted to slip away:
"Tsk tsk, never mind, benefactor, you have no fate with me. I always value fate when telling fortunes. If there's no fate, I won't calculate it no matter how much money there is."
"Tch~"
Immediately, jeers came from around.
"What's that? So useless. Is this really fortune telling? Did he chicken out?"
And just then, a bullet comment suddenly appeared above the fortune teller's head:
[This guy seems pretty rich. I'll go find those Dark Curse Masters later and capture him. I should get a good share of the money, hehe...]
After Chen Ling saw his inner thoughts, he was amused.
Alright...
He no longer made things difficult for him, sneered, and mocked:
"Doesn't want money, truly foolish."
Then he left with Sui Li'er.
"Alright, disperse, disperse... boring."
Seeing this, everyone also gradually dispersed.
"Hehe~"
Sui Li'er was very happy all the way, and Chen Ling was also happy.
Everywhere, everywhere were Dark Curse Masters!
He hadn't expected before coming that there were dozens of Dark Curse Masters hidden in this Flame Blue Town!
This was truly wonderful.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to capture them now, because Sui Li'er and Luo Yuxiu were sleeping together tonight.
He had nothing to do, so it was a good time to find something to do.
When the night was quiet, it would be hunting time!
With so many Dark Curse Masters around, Chen Ling could already see a good life waving at him.
Life could finally be easy!
Furthermore...
It was also time for his relationship with Sui Li'er to take a step forward.
He had to find a way to make her confess.
"Hehehe..."
As he thought about it, he chuckled to himself.
Sui Li'er looked over in confusion when she saw this.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Cough..."
Chen Ling coughed and said indifferently:
"Won't tell you."
"Boo? Tch~ I don't want to know anyway~"
Sui Li'er pouted, her face full of:
Tell me, tell me~
Of course, Chen Ling couldn't tell her. He immediately changed the subject and took her to eat.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ling saw another Dark Curse Master and casually glanced over.
A white-haired girl, quite good-looking, with a pair of elf ears that were quite eye-catching. At first glance, she was a Sagittarius.
This was the type that looked good, and having a pair of elf ears was just icing on the cake.
But she was a bit thin, clearly malnourished.
She sat in her seat, quietly eating the food in front of her. The food was simple, just a few pieces of cheap bread and a cup of water.
Chen Ling felt that the energy on this Dark Curse Master was different from the energy on other Dark Curse Masters; it was strangely indescribable.
He immediately scanned her:
[Target: Xuan Ming
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Realm: Beginner Grand Spell Master! (Dark Curse Master)
curse star: fire-element country & Sagittarius & 999
Curse: Parents died tragically]
Chen Ling: ???
What the f*ck?
Did I run into the protagonist?
Bah, I'm the protagonist.
This Xuan Ming has a curse star number of 999 and a protagonist template. She looks extraordinary.
Moreover, the strange energy on her made Chen Ling feel that this person was definitely not simple.
Luo Yuxiu was currently looking at the menu and ordering with Sui Li'er.
After ordering, Sui Sui raised her head and looked at Chen Ling, wanting to ask him what he wanted to eat.
But she found that Chen Ling wasn't looking at her, but was staring blankly at another spot.
She instinctively followed his gaze.
And found a white-haired loli!
!!!
Sui Li'er looked at Chen Ling again, wanting to confirm if he was looking at that white-haired girl.
Indeed, he was looking at her, and he was even staring at her!
Sui Sui immediately felt a fatal blow in her heart.
God... is looking at another little girl...
The impact of this white-haired loli on her was even greater than Yan Ran!
Because they were both lolis...
Chen Ling kept staring at her like that, it felt like he was smitten.
[Stop looking! Sui Sui is jealous! Points -1 billion!]
Chen Ling: ???
Coming back to his senses, he saw Sui Li'er's wronged expression.
A wave of confusion swept through his heart:
Why is she jealous again...
Seeing that he finally remembered her and looked back, Sui Li'er couldn't help but let out a soft whimper.
At the same time, a bullet comment appeared above her head:
Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the reading progress to be lost. Please save your "Bookshelf" and "Reading Record" in time (screenshot recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
[As expected, he's tired of me.]
[As expected, other girls are prettier...]
[Wuwu...]
[Ding~ Sui Sui is sad, points -1 billion~]
Chen Ling smiled and reached out to stroke her head:
"Why are you pouting so high?"
"Hmph~"
Sui Sui snorted softly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
[Hehe~ Since you took the initiative to pat my head~ I'll forgive you~]
"What do you want to eat, Chen Ling~"
Chen Ling shook his head:
"Not eating."
"Oh~"
After the three of them finished eating, Luo Yuxiu voluntarily went to pay the bill.
As a fan, paying for her idol was a dream she had always had.
Since she was willing to pay, Chen Ling naturally let her.
The three of them strolled around for a while, and the streets became less crowded as people started heading back.
Chen Ling then followed Sui Li'er back to the girls' dormitory.
However, Chen Ling stopped at the entrance. When Sui Li'er noticed him stop, she instinctively turned back and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Oh..."
She also suddenly remembered that this was the girls' dormitory, and Chen Ling couldn't stay with her tonight.
[Sui Sui is sad, points -1 million~]
She bit her lip lightly, looking at Chen Ling with some reluctance.
Luo Yuxiu just smiled and stood by, not speaking.
Seeing this, Chen Ling felt a wave of smugness in his heart:
As expected, you can't leave me, can you~
Just then, Sui Li'er opened her mouth as if to say something, but Luo Yuxiu was standing next to her, so she felt a little embarrassed.
Several bullet comments appeared above her head:
[No hug...]
[Not tonight either?]
[Don't you want a hug...]
Seeing this, Luo Yuxiu said very understandingly:
"Cough, I'll go in first and wait for you, Sui Sui~"
Sui Sui nodded gently:
"Okay~"
After she left, Sui Li'er looked at Chen Ling with her beautiful eyes, looking pitiful.
[Can I have a hug...]
Her face slightly red, she mustered up her courage and wanted to say it.
But just as she opened her mouth, she was pulled into Chen Ling's embrace.
[Ding~ Sui Sui feels happy, points +1 billion~]
Just then, someone inside gently opened the door. Seeing Sui Li'er and Chen Ling at the entrance, her mouth opened as if to speak, but she immediately closed it again.
Luo Yuxiu had already entered the room, but she looked back and saw the two embracing. She immediately darted to the door and took a picture with a 'click'.
In the dim corridor, Sui Li'er stood at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, and the light from the room shone on the tightly embracing pair.
It looked so atmospheric~
Then she changed angles and also recorded the expressions of the girls inside the dormitory.
Some were surprised, some were envious, some were heartbroken, and some had a silly smile.
Of course, they were all wearing clothes. With so many people around, everyone was too embarrassed to sleep naked.
Sui Li'er was buried in Chen Ling's embrace, fully enjoying it, so she naturally didn't notice.
And although Chen Ling was facing them, he didn't look up.
He just lowered his head, a shallow smile on his face.
That seemingly present, yet absent smile struck the hearts of many girls again.
Everyone tacitly didn't make a sound to disturb the two of them, just watching quietly, seeing how long they would hug.
"I'll miss you..."
Sui Li'er suddenly spoke, her voice very low, but everyone heard it.
Everyone: Oh...
They instantly understood something.
So you two usually sleep together!?
Luo Yuxiu's face also turned red upon hearing this, thinking:
Wow~ So open-minded...
Just then, Yan Ran's voice sounded.
"Chen Ling, what are you doing? Boys are prohibited from coming to the girls' dormitory."
"Ah?"
Sui Li'er was startled by her sudden voice and quickly left Chen Ling's embrace.
She looked at the approaching Yan Ran with a red face.
Yan Ran had guessed that Chen Ling might be at the girls' dormitory with Sui Li'er when she called roll and found him absent.
As expected!
"Ins-Instructor Yan Ran..."
Sui Li'er's face instantly turned crimson.
[Ding~ Sui Sui is shy! Points +1 billion!]
[Did, did she hear what I just said?]
She quickly left Chen Ling's embrace and took a step back, feeling like she had been caught dating early by a teacher.
She said seriously:
"Che-Chen Ling, you should go back now, I'm going to sleep, goo-goodnight!"
Chen Ling smiled when he saw this:
"Goodnight."
"Mm..."
Sui Li'er turned around and looked at Chen Ling with reluctance again before freezing in place.
Over twenty pairs of eyes in the room were all staring at her.
Everyone's expressions were incredibly varied~
Sui Li'er: ???
[When... when did the door open!?]
[What I just said... they all heard it!?
[Chen Ling, help!]
[Ding~ Sui Sui is shy, points +10 billion!]
[I, I, I want to go home!]
Sui Li'er immediately wanted to run away, but when she turned around, she found that Chen Ling had disappeared.
Standing behind her was Yan Ran.
"Huh? Chen Ling..."
Sui Li'er mumbled.
Yan Ran couldn't help but smile when she saw Sui Li'er's adorable, completely red face:
"Don't worry, Sui Sui, I'll help you keep an eye on your little boyfriend."
!?
[Ding~ Sui Sui's emotions are abnormal, points +10 billion!]
"He, he, he... he."
[He's not my boyfriend yet!]
Seeing how easily she got shy, Yan Ran stopped teasing her and chuckled softly:
"I'm going back."
"Oh~"
Sui Li'er nodded. After Yan Ran left, she returned to the dormitory with a red face.
She was happy and shy at the same time.
Because everyone who saw her and Chen Ling would think they were a couple.
Although it was a misunderstanding, it was enough to make her happy for a while.
But everyone's gaze made her feel really embarrassed.
She quickly walked to her bed, but just as she was about to get on, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no..."
Sui Li'er murmured softly.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Yuxiu asked softly.
"My... my pajamas are at Chen Ling's place..."
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Sui Sui, Chen Ling asked me to give you this."
Sui Li'er turned her head and saw Yan Ran pulling her small suitcase.
Sui Li'er's heart lit up when she saw this, and she quickly ran over.
"Hehe~ Thank you, Instructor Yan Ran~"
"You're welcome, goodnight."
But as the door closed, the Instructor Yan Ran outside the door suddenly changed shape, turning back into Chen Ling.
He chuckled softly and murmured:
"Idiot."
His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Afterward, Sui Li'er pulled the suitcase to her bed, gently opened it, and started looking for her pajamas.
A girl on the bed next to her glanced over curiously.
She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Wow! A rich girl..."
"Hmm?"
Sui Li'er looked at that classmate in confusion and asked softly:
"What?"
That girl looked at Sui Li'er in shock:
"Those few clothes in your suitcase, they must be worth millions, right?"
"Oh, I also remembered the one you're wearing... Although it doesn't have a logo, I saw it online. I wondered why it looked so familiar. One piece is probably over 200,000?"
Everyone: ???
What the f*ck?
A little rich girl!?
Sui Li'er looked bewildered:
"It's not that expensive..."
God said these were very cheap...
These words sounded in everyone's ears like she was saying:
"Oh, it's not very expensive, just a little money..."
