Chapter 14 - So, What Do You Think of Me, the Great Demon King?

"As long as you acknowledge it, that's good."

Lan Tianyu nodded slightly.

Suddenly, without even turning around—

His arm shot backward as if it had eyes, casually grabbing Jin Bao San by the collar.

Like lifting a frightened quail, he dragged him out from behind himself and tossed him aside.

"Considering Jin Bao San's performance just now, I've decided to appoint him as the sports committee member."

"From now on, whenever there are any activities, I'll notify him, and he'll pass the message along to all of you."

Lan Tianyu spoke calmly, yet his tone left no room for argument.

The moment Jin Bao San heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Teacher Lan! You truly have the eyes of a hero—wise and brilliant!"

"I, Jin Bao San, swear to serve you loyally! I'll go through fire and water for you—"

While passionately declaring his loyalty, he secretly glanced at Sha Jie and the others from the corner of his eye.

Seeing their frustrated yet helpless expressions—gritting their teeth but unable to speak out—

His heart felt as sweet as if he had just swallowed honey.

With Teacher Lan backing him up, he could walk sideways in Ultimate Class from now on!

[Jin Bao San's favorability toward the host: Medium. Collection efficiency +100%!]

Hearing the system notification, Lan Tianyu smiled with satisfaction.

Promoting Jin Bao San had achieved exactly the effect he wanted.

Then, with a slight shift of thought, he began calculating today's gains.

Those with recorded favorability included:

Qian Laiye (200%)

Jin Bao San (100%)

Tian Xin (50%)

Wang Dadong (50%)

Wang Arthur (50%)

Together, these people provided a 450% bonus.

Adding the 200% bonus from his nephew Lan Si Luo, the total bonus reached 650%.

All combined, the efficiency had increased more than threefold.

Originally, it would take an entire month to fill the luck meter once.

Now it would only take just over nine days.

The improvement was enormous.

Even if he had spent tens of millions earlier, this deal was absolutely worth it.

However, achieving results like this again in the future would probably be difficult.

After all, there were only so many protagonists.

"I'll need to find more ways to expand my sources…"

As Lan Tianyu pondered this, Tian Xin's gentle voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Alright, Teacher Lan has finished introducing himself."

"You should hurry and clean up the classroom. I still have to teach you English shortly."

Before anyone could respond—

Tian Xin grabbed Lan Tianyu's hand and clearly intended to pull him out of the classroom.

Lan Tianyu didn't resist, allowing her to drag him into the hallway.

After they walked some distance, his good mood led him to tease her lightly.

"Teacher Tian, we're already pretty far from the classroom."

"You're still holding onto my hand. Are you reluctant to let go?"

"Ah?!"

Tian Xin reacted as if she had been burned.

She immediately withdrew her hand, her fair face instantly flushing red.

Half embarrassed and half annoyed, she glared at him and whispered reproachfully,

"You jerk! All you do is tease me!"

"Didn't you see the way those students were looking at you?"

"They looked like they were staring at a demon king who just crawled out of hell!"

"If I hadn't pulled you away, they might have been scared to death!"

"A demon king?"

Leaning casually against the hallway railing, Lan Tianyu crossed his arms and bent slightly closer, a playful smile in his eyes.

"Then what do you think of me, this demon king?"

Tian Xin's heart skipped a beat under his gaze.

She instinctively looked away.

Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes as she spoke in a voice softer than a mosquito's buzz, carrying a trace of shy embarrassment she hadn't even noticed herself.

"You're… not bad, I guess."

"You are a little handsome…"

She paused, gathering the courage to glance up at him.

Then she quickly lowered her head again and added with a hint of grievance,

"But you're too bad! You're obviously so strong, yet you kept hiding it. You made me worry for nothing all this time."

At last, she voiced the thoughts she had been holding inside.

Though it sounded more like a quiet complaint.

"I didn't hide anything. You just never asked."

"If you had asked, I would have told you the truth."

Lan Tianyu spread his hands with an innocent expression.

Yet the amusement in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

He realized that teasing the long-legged beauty teacher was surprisingly entertaining.

Although she was around twenty-five or twenty-six—

There was still a delicate, shy charm about her.

Tian Xin thought about it carefully.

And realized that… he actually had a point.

But sometimes—

Women simply didn't care about logic.

"Ugh! You could've just told me directly!"

Tian Xin stomped her foot in frustration.

Her black high heels clicked rhythmically against the floor.

The crisp "tap-tap" sound echoed like a beat against the heart.

That small feminine gesture caused a faint ripple to spread across the otherwise calm lake of Lan Tianyu's heart.

"You're just being unreasonable…"

Lan Tianyu quickly steadied his mind and looked away from her lively, slightly angry face.

"No I'm not!"

Tian Xin's gaze drifted nervously, clearly lacking confidence. Her voice softened.

"I… I'm just stating the facts."

Lan Tianyu smiled faintly and didn't expose her little thoughts.

While chatting, the two soon arrived at the office area.

Since Tian Xin still had a class to teach, they had to part ways.

Lan Tianyu teleported back to the original principal's office.

After opening the door, he discovered the room was empty.

"I glanced at the schedule earlier. There aren't any P.E. classes today."

"In that case, I can slack off and cultivate for the whole day."

Lan Tianyu moved slightly and teleported to the sofa.

He sat cross-legged, palms facing upward.

His family's internal cultivation technique began circulating quietly.

In an instant, he entered a state where self and world were forgotten, completely immersed in cultivation.

Time flew by.

When Lan Tianyu opened his eyes again, the sunset outside had already dyed the sky orange-red.

The first thing he did upon waking was glance at the system panel in his mind.

[Host: Lan Tianyu]

[Combat Power Index: 20415]

After one morning and one afternoon—

His combat power index had increased by 13 points, and his luck had risen by 4%.

Everything was steadily moving in the right direction.

Lan Tianyu stood up and stretched his body.

Soft cracking sounds echoed from his joints
