48: Chapter 48 Help me beat him up

Who exactly was Ling Wanhe?

In the entire Great Xia Martial Academy, she was the universally recognized goddess-level figure!

Not only was she gifted with extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength, but her noble status as the favored daughter of the Star Spirit Clan, combined with the friendly relations between the Star Spirit Clan and many powerful races like the humans, gave her unparalleled popularity and prestige within the academy.

Her admirers were spread across the three major academies, as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.

Among them, there were even top-tier Prodigys who had long since stepped into the Flying Heaven Realm.

However, everyone also knew.

This goddess of the ling clan had a cold personality; she was always polite yet distant in her dealings with others, and she had never been seen showing any special treatment toward any male.

But what about now?

She was actually taking the initiative to walk toward a boy?

In an instant, countless gazes followed Ling Wanhe's slender figure, focusing squarely on her destination.

When they saw clearly that Ling Wanhe's target was actually that white-clad youth who had just dominated the arena and stolen all the spotlight...

The hearts of countless young men shattered on the spot.

Watching the stunning figure slowly approaching, Jiang Mingyue's brow chilled for some unknown reason, and she subconsciously wanted to step forward to shield Ning Yuan behind her.

However, a warm, large hand gently pressed down on her shoulder and pulled her back.

Ning Yuan's voice, carrying a hint of a smile, rang in her ear.

“Alright, alright, Second Brother, stop being so cocky. Can't you see? She's coming for me.”

Jiang Mingyue's body stiffened slightly, and she was so annoyed her teeth itched.

An inexplicable feeling of displeasure rose in her heart.

She didn't know why she had subconsciously made that move just now.

Perhaps she simply didn't want that Ling Wanhe person getting close to this obnoxious guy.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Ling Wanhe finally stopped in front of Ning Yuan.

“Hello, Student Ning Yuan.”

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains, refreshing to the soul.

Ning Yuan merely raised an eyebrow and responded flatly, “Is something the matter?”

Although he was still thinking about that inexplicable mission issued by the system,

There was absolutely no way he would lower himself to be a 'simp' because of it.

A real man should have no women in his heart; with a drawn blade, he naturally becomes a god!

Ling Wanhe paused slightly upon hearing this.

For a brief moment, she even began to wonder if her charm had diminished.

From childhood until now, this was the first time a male of the same age had treated her with such a cold attitude.

However, the curiosity in her heart grew even stronger.

She broke into a smile, and the charm that bloomed in that instant was enough to make a hundred flowers pale in comparison.

“It's nothing special. I just wanted to ask, can I add you on Heavenly Communication?”

As soon as these words were spoken,

The entire venue instantly fell into a deathly silence!

The sounds of countless hearts breaking rose one after another!

Lu Sheng and Zhou Qi, who had just stepped onto the arena and were preparing to show off their skills, stared with wide eyes, their breathing becoming rapid!

“Holy... Holy crap! Boss is awesome!”

“That son of a bitch! Boss is such a dog! He even told us he didn't know Goddess Ling at all! That's way too sneaky!”

The two of them wailed in grief within their hearts.

Countless male students who admired Ling Wanhe felt as if their hearts had been brutally stabbed, the pain piercing through them!

That was Goddess Ling, who seemed untainted by the mortal world!

She was actually taking the initiative to ask a boy for his Heavenly Communication contact info?

If it weren't for the fact that Ning Yuan's performance in the arena just now had been too monstrous and world-shaking,

The jealous glares from those around him alone would have been enough to tear him to pieces!

Ning Yuan himself was also slightly stunned.

He hadn't expected that while he was worrying about how to complete the mission, the other party would actually deliver herself to his door?

Was this happiness coming a bit too suddenly?

He subconsciously touched his handsome face and muttered to himself:

“Could it be... truly because I'm just too handsome?”

Behind him, Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but facepalm upon hearing his words.

This guy's level of narcissism was simply terrifying!

Ning Yuan shrugged, looked at Ling Wanhe in front of him, and said helplessly:

“Student Ling, you've really put me in a tough spot.”

Ling Wanhe was somewhat puzzled by his words.

Ning Yuan gestured for her to look around.

From all directions, gazes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment were staring fixedly at him like sharp swords.

Ling Wanhe then realized that her actions just now might have been a bit abrupt.

An apologetic look appeared on her face.

She really hadn't thought that much about it.

She was just worried that once the Transcendent Academy's matches began, the scene would become chaotic, and if Ning Yuan left early, she would miss the chance to establish a connection with him.

After confirming that Ning Yuan's constitution had an extremely high compatibility with Astral Power—perhaps even surpassing her own—she was eager to have more exchanges with him.

Ling Wanhe looked around the area, and her gaze instantly turned cold.

The gazes that were originally full of jealousy and hostility immediately retracted sheepishly upon meeting her icy eyes.

Ling Wanhe then looked back at Ning Yuan and said solemnly:

“Rest assured, no one will trouble you because of this.”

Though her voice was cold, it contained an unquestionable power.

This was both a promise and a warning.

She, Ling Wanhe, was no puppet or mere decoration!

If anyone dared to trouble Ning Yuan over something like this, they were essentially restricting her social rights!

She would definitely let that person know the meaning of the wrath of the Star Spirit Clan's favored daughter!

Seeing this, Ning Yuan gave her a thumbs up.

“Student Ling is domineering!”

Then, he changed the subject and said with a grin, “I can add you on Heavenly Communication. But, I have one small condition.”

Ling Wanhe gave a light laugh.

“Go ahead.”

Ning Yuan raised his hand and pointed casually toward the Transcendent Academy's camp in the distance.

“There, that Three-Eyed Kid. The way he looked at me just now was the most unpleasant; it made me feel a bit scared.”

“How about this: when the Transcendent Academy's matches start, help me give him a severe beating. If you agree, I'll give you my Heavenly Communication.”

He spoke with a chuckle, looking very much like a street punk instigating a good student to do something bad.

Everyone present was dumbfounded by what they heard!

And Chai Youpeng, who had been paying close attention to the situation, turned livid with rage, his eyes practically spitting fire!

But then, he let out a confident, cold laugh.

Was this a joke?

He, Chai Youpeng, and Wanhe were close friends and childhood playmates!

Would she deal with him for the sake of a guy she just met?

You're dreaming of—

Just as the thought arose,

His gaze instantly froze!

He was completely stunned!

The girl's crisp and pleasant yet emotionless voice rang out clearly.

“Fine.”

“I'll help you give him a beating.”

It was as if everyone could faintly hear the sound of a certain Three-Eyed Kid's heart shattering into a floor full of glass shards.

In an instant,

The way everyone looked at Ning Yuan completely changed.

Only an endless stream of admiration and awe remained.

Only two words were left in their hearts.

Awesome!
