Chapter 158: A Desperate Gambit

Ye Xingchen, being a cultivator himself, keenly detected the ripple of malicious aura emanating from Xiao Yun. However, he chose not to react—after all, sometimes it’s best to observe and wait before escalating matters.

Besides, he had to admit that healing magic in this world was remarkably convenient. Just a day ago, Xiao Yun had been beaten by Li Yunxin into a pathetic, fish-like state, lying limp in a fountain. Now, he was already back attending classes.

In the world of cultivators, such severe injuries would require at least a few days of bed rest. It truly made one marvel at the wonders of magic.

Yet, clowns like him—completely lacking in ability but utterly clueless about restraint—were simply pitiable fools.

Compared to that Xiao family brat who couldn’t even discern his place, the person beside him now, Liu Yuxuan, was an even greater headache for Ye Xingchen. Liu was basically a simp straight out of Earth.

If he pursued Li Yunxin like this, Ye Xingchen had no idea how to help him win her over.

“Miss Yunxin, I’m willing to be your mount! Will you be my girlfriend?”

Hearing Liu Yuxuan’s nonsense, Li Yunxin’s brows twitched violently. Not only was her soul originally male, but seeing Liu act like this reminded her of her past life as a corporate s*ave.

At least back then, she had some dignity! Where did this shameless simp learn such behavior?

She shot a glare at Ye Xingchen—could it be that this fellow Earthling had corrupted him? Teaching him things like persistence, servitude, and those poisonous鸡汤 (chicken soup for the soul)?

“Big Star…” she turned to Ye Xingchen with a chilling tone, her folding fan pressing against his throat. “You’d better explain yourself. Did you teach him these cheesy lines?”

Seeing the blame shift to him, Ye Xingchen immediately put on an innocent look: “Heavens! I taught him to maintain dignity…” (As for those eighteen moves of seduction, that was purely an accident.)

Before he could finish, Liu Yuxuan dropped to one knee in a proposal pose: “Lord Yunxin! Please allow me to become your exclusive bed warmer… ah, no! Hand warmer!”

“Enough!” Li Yunxin finally snapped, pressing Liu Yuxuan onto the desk and rubbing him back and forth like an eraser.

Even Chixiao, a native of this other world, was taken aback by Liu’s shamelessness. He glanced at Ye Xingchen, unable to connect the latter with his roommate.

Same bottom of the class—yet one was close with the number one school beauty, while the other was a pestering sucker.

Seeing that Liu Yuxuan was determined to continue this shameless behavior, Li Yunxin’s eyes suddenly lit up with an idea.

She recalled her previous life as a corporate s*ave: what was her greatest wish? To win the favor of her dream goddess, of course. Otherwise, where would the material for her nightly… manual labor come from? Since this sticky candy couldn’t be shaken off, why not…

Li Yunxin suddenly grabbed Liu Yuxuan by the ear and whispered, “Xiao Xuanzi, do you like me?”

Liu’s heart pounded wildly at these words, but he also worried: her sudden change in attitude—was she planning something harsh? Like humiliating him in public?

“Since that’s the case, do you want my worn stockings? White or black, your choice~”

Worn stockings of his goddess?! That was practically a holy relic!

Liu nodded eagerly, wishing he could have a pair right now to treasure.

Li Yunxin suddenly revealed a sly smile, leaning close to Liu’s ear and lowering her voice: “But… there’s a condition.”

Trembling with excitement, Liu’s ears perked up: “W-What condition? Just say it, Miss Yunxin!”

“Simple~” Li Yunxin suddenly raised her voice so the whole class could hear. She dragged out her tone, watching Liu’s expression as if he was about to suffocate. “If you can rank in the top ten in the competition, I’ll give you… my worn… stockings. Your choice of style~”

The classroom erupted in laughter. Everyone knew Liu Yuxuan was as much a bottom-feeder as Ye Xingchen. Whether in practical or theoretical classes, there was no way he could break into the top ten.

Top ten? Starting from third grade practicals, he would face seniors from all upper grades. Even with Brother Xingchen’s support, how could it be easy?

His expression dropped from heaven to hell, like a castrated rooster.

“What? Not satisfied? Then… how about adding a pair of panties?” Li Yunxin tilted her cute head.

Worn stockings plus panties?!

Chixiao, as a native of this other world, was completely lost by Li Yunxin’s bizarre actions.

Ye Xingchen, being a fellow transmigrator, naturally understood. He silently wiped a bead of sweat for Liu—his hometown girl’s tactic of retreating in order to advance was brilliant.

She gave Liu hope, set an impossible condition, and publicly humiliated him all at once.

“I… I…” Liu Yuxuan’s face turned red. With so many people watching, if he gave up, he’d lose all chance. But if he succeeded, Li Yunxin surely wouldn’t renege in front of everyone, right?

Amid the laughter, he suddenly clenched his fists: “I will make it into the top ten! Just wait and see, Miss Yunxin!”

The declaration only made the laughter louder. Clearly, none of the classmates believed it. If everyone were a genius like Su Liyue, wouldn’t they have already broken into the top ten? Waiting for this clown, Liu Yuxuan?

Li Yunxin nodded in satisfaction, returning to her seat without a word. Only Ye Xingchen noticed the sly smile of a successful plan on her lips.

Finally, she could have some peace. Given Liu Yuxuan’s strength, he would never make the top ten. Even if he miraculously did, she could just dig out her 200-pound roommate’s collection of worn stockings—from fishnets to lace-up black and white—guaranteeing a surprise that would make him question life. And as for the panties she mentioned… well, that was also an option.
