49: Chapter 49 Want to Eat Meat
When the gap between a person and yourself becomes so vast it reaches a level of despair...
Then, even the most basic feelings of jealousy can no longer be stirred up.
What remains is only looking up in awe and worship.
At this moment, the vast majority of male students present shared this exact mindset.
As they watched Ning Yuan use such a casual, even somewhat playful method to instigate Ling Wanhe into willingly beating up Chai Youpeng, they were completely stunned.
This kind of god-tier operation directly subverted their entire worldview!
In an instant, countless hearts were screaming frantically.
Brother! I beg you! Open a class! We'll listen on our knees!
"Student Ning, then we'll talk later."
Ling Wanhe beamed a smile, gestured to her Heavenly Communication bracelet toward Ning Yuan, and prepared to turn and leave.
But before leaving, her gaze seemed to linger for a fleeting moment on Jiang Mingyue behind Ning Yuan.
In her eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible surprise.
Jiang Mingyue merely met her gaze with a cold expression, showing no reaction whatsoever.
In their past lives, although both were Saint-level existences and had some interactions, they weren't particularly familiar with each other.
Meeting again in this life was, to her, no different from meeting a stranger.
Ning Yuan, meanwhile, was all smiles as he watched Ling Wanhe's departing figure, in a quite excellent mood.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but mock him, "Look at your pathetic self. It's just a woman; is it worth being this happy?"
Ning Yuan clicked his tongue twice and retorted, "Number Two, this is blatant jealousy. Remember, jealousy makes people crazy."
Jiang Mingyue was instantly choked with rage and could only give him a massive eye-roll.
However, a strange feeling did indeed rise within her heart.
That last look Ling Wanhe gave her just now felt somewhat subtle.
Could it be... she could actually see through the disguise applied by her supreme treasure?
"Impossible!"
The thought flashed by and was immediately dismissed by her.
This supreme treasure was a fortuitous encounter from her past life that she had obtained early; its grade was incredibly high. Let alone the Transcendent Realm, even if a Martial Saint came in person, they wouldn't see through it if they were careless—unless they used a Divine Ability to peer through!
Ning Yuan's mood was indeed very good right now.
But this wasn't because of Ling Wanhe.
It was because of the system notification that had just sounded in his mind.
The mission was completed again!
And it was so effortless, so simple!
"Sigh, my damn charm has nowhere to be contained! Two words: invincible!"
He thought to himself gleefully.
[Congratulations Host! You finally plucked up the courage to stand bravely before the goddess you once could only look up to! Please remember, as long as you work hard, everything is possible! Standing side-by-side with her in the future is only a matter of time!]
[Congratulations, mission completed!]
[Reward obtained: indestructible star soul x 1!]
Ning Yuan once again ignored the system's previous retarded speech, but when he saw the reward this time, his eyes instantly lit up!
"indestructible star soul! brother tongzi is awesome!"
His heart was filled with pleasant surprise.
"This thing is a whole level higher than the Immortal Star Essence my mom prepared for me! Moreover, according to the records in the Star Immortality Technique, the two seem to be able to merge for use, and the effect will be doubled! So comfortable!"
He let out a long breath of relief.
Truly comfortable!
However, before he could be happy for long, the system's voice rang out again.
[Adding the goddess's Heavenly Communication is merely the first step of a ten-thousand-mile march. To truly conquer a woman's heart, you must make her admire you!]
[New follow-up mission: Please rely on your own efforts and charm to make Ling Wanhe develop feelings of admiration for you!]
[The system knows that for a trash Host, this is definitely a gargantuan challenge! But women are the greatest motivation for men to move forward! Believe in yourself, Host; you can definitely overcome numerous difficulties and forge ahead! Even if it takes a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years to complete this mission, it will be worth it! Finally, a small hint for the Host: the final reward for this mission contains a huge surprise!]
After listening, Ning Yuan fell silent.
"@#￥%%!!!"
Are you really not a romance system?
But truth be told...
This mission was indeed the most challenging one among all the missions he had received since his rebirth.
"Make Ling Wanhe admire me? This is truly a technical job."
Ning Yuan felt his head ache slightly.
If you asked him to send Ling Wanhe flying with one punch, he was very good at that.
But to make her develop feelings of admiration for him?
This... he really didn't know how to do!
He subconsciously turned to look at Jiang Mingyue beside him and asked humbly, "Number Two, how do you actually make a woman admire you?"
Jiang Mingyue, who was lost in thought, was stunned: "Huh?"
Immediately, she looked at Ning Yuan with an extremely disdainful gaze.
"A toad lusting after swan meat!"
Ning Yuan's gaze instantly became dangerous.
"How are you talking to the Boss? Are you looking for a beating by mocking your Boss like that?"
Jiang Mingyue gave a light huff but still offered a rare explanation.
"A woman's mind is something a straight man like you wouldn't understand. Admiration doesn't necessarily require you to have absolute, overwhelming strength. Sometimes, it might just be at a critical moment, an inadvertent second, where you do something that happens to touch her heart. If things click, then the feeling... well, it just comes."
She inexplicably thought, what kind of man would make her admire him?
Tsk, impossible!
There wasn't one in her past life, and there definitely wouldn't be one in this life!
Ning Yuan listened, scratching his head in frustration, feeling his head grow twice as big.
"Sigh! Women really are troublesome creatures!"
He decided not to think about it for the time being.
The car will find its way to the mountain, and the boat will naturally straighten at the bridge.
Take it slow.
Anyway, this mission had no time limit and didn't affect him completing other missions.
At this moment, on Sacred Martial Mountain, this small interlude had come to an end.
The qualification competition for the Transcendent Academy officially began!
Ning Yuan put away his cynical attitude and began to watch seriously.
Although his foundation had now reached an unimaginably abnormal level...
He also knew that this group of top geniuses from the Transcendent Academy were none of them simple!
The best among them had basically reached the level of Heaven-rank Martial Artists or sixth-order alien races!
In the upcoming Ancient Ruin, these people would be his true opponents!
Perhaps other top-100 students from the Qi and Blood Academy only thought about following behind after entering the ruins, being satisfied with some scraps and leftover soup.
The real protagonists were still those seniors from the Transcendent Academy.
But regarding this, Ning Yuan only wanted to say...
Impossible!
He wanted to eat the meat!
