Join the ServerAs the class began, Ye Xingchen found this lesson exceedingly difficult.
Although Su Liyue was already lying down to rest, the intermittent abdominal cramps transmitted to him were excruciating, making it nearly impossible to focus on the lecture.
He regretted not taking leave as well.
Alchemy instructor Tang Wanrou was at the lectern, explaining the essentials of advanced alchemy.
As the first lesson for the newly enrolled alchemy students, today’s content was completely different from the previous three years of elementary and intermediate courses.
“Attention, everyone,” Tang Wanrou emphasized, tapping the lectern.
“The greatest difference between alchemy, as a supplementary cultural subject, and practical combat courses lies in the importance of theoretical foundations. The ratio of any potion or equipment must be based on a thorough understanding of material properties. Otherwise… what you obtain may not be a finished potion, but a spectacular fireworks show.”
Listening to Alchemy Instructor Tang Wanrou, the students diligently took notes. After all, with such an elegant and charming instructor teaching the class, it was hard not to be exceptionally focused.
“Ye Xingchen!” Tang Wanrou suddenly slammed her wand heavily on the lectern.
“I’ve noticed you since class started! Your expression alternates between crying and gritting your teeth. Do you have any objections to my teaching?”
Ye Xingchen, already tormented by Su Liyue’s menstrual cramps, saw that he was being misunderstood by the instructor. He hurriedly stood up to explain, but the abdominal pain immediately made him blurt out:
“Sorry, Instructor… I… I’m just having some menstrual cramps… I’m not feeling well…”
With a crack, Tang Wanrou felt as if her intelligence was being insulted.
“What bullshit are you spouting! How can a male student have menstrual cramps?! If you’re going to make up an excuse, at least use some brains!”
The entire class burst into laughter.
“Haha, what did he say?”
“Guys have that too?”
Some of the younger girls blushed and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Two male students even looked confused and asked: “What are menstrual cramps? Why have we never had them?”
Ye Xingchen immediately realized his mistake. He was about to apologize when another wave of cramps hit him, causing him to bend over and clutch his stomach in pain.
Ice frost quickly spread across Tang Wanrou’s desk. She looked at Ye Xingchen’s pained, twisted expression—which inexplicably held a hint of fragility—and suddenly remembered the gossip circulating in the teacher group chat this morning about a male student boldly charging into the girls’ dormitory…
Her eyelid twitching, Tang Wanrou suppressed her anger and said: “If you want to play sick, go do it in the infirmary! Don’t disturb the other students here!”
She casually threw a healing spell at him. “If I see you acting out menstrual cramps again, I’ll make you experience a real period!! One week of detention every month!”
However, while healing spells were effective for wounds, they had absolutely no effect on menstrual cramps—especially for Ye Xingchen, who was suffering them through Su Liyue’s body.
He quickly got up, took his leave of the instructor, and exited the classroom.
Of course, he had no intention of going to the infirmary. As for Su Liyue? Going there seemed useless—he couldn’t very well tell his own body to just endure it, could he? After all, he couldn’t punish that troublesome uterus. Other than enduring, he truly had no other choice.
Even though he was a transcendent, saint-level powerhouse, he rarely felt such profound helplessness.
Another wave of cramps hit. Leaning against the wall and bending over, Ye Xingchen suddenly gained some understanding of why the Yaochi Saintess sometimes had a bad temper. Though given her cultivation level, a fairy like her probably didn’t menstruate.
But when Su Liyue’s body pain struck again, he couldn’t help but sigh—being a girl was truly not easy.
He felt a newfound respect for all women. How did they manage to endure this monthly tribulation with smiles?
Speaking of which, Li Yunxin had said earlier that she would come find him after class. Though he didn’t know what it was about, rather than waiting idly in the corridor, he might as well go to the rooftop of the teaching building to wait.
