Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

It was pretty regular for someone to set their eyes on a beautiful girl. Moreover, such a pursuer definitely wouldn't be the only one. When he was with Cheng Lingsu in the cab back then, he had seen a few boys pester her, but Cheng Lingran had dealt with them appropriately. Since she also had a treasure like the inner core on her, there wouldn't be any danger to her, so Jiang Xiu wasn't worried about that.

"Brothers! Bless me with some valor so I can exchange the 500 glances from my previous life for a fleeting encounter in this life."

Jiang Xiu got up to go over, but the brutes beside him were already a step ahead of him. Their expressions were the same as those heroes who left in the desolate, chilly winds to gain glory, never to come back.

What's funnier was that these three brutes even fought over each other for this single fleeting encounter, but they were instead stupefied when they saw that Cheng Lingran was surrounded by girls left and right, so there was no leeway for them to have that fleeting encounter.

They could only watch in a daze as Cheng Lingran, and her classmates walked past them.

Being able to look at the goddess in such a close range could also be considered an encounter. Truthfully, they had never got so close to such a pretty goddess over their entire life. Their gazes were fixed on her, right until she walked far away.

But in the next instant, their eyes became wide open.

"Fudge! What's that guy doing?"

They saw Jiang Xiu directly walk over towards Cheng Lingran.

"Oh my God! He's going for a direct encounter!"

"Amazing!"

These brutes never thought Jiang Xiu was actually so brave.

"Eh, how come you're here?" Cheng Lingran noticed Jiang Xiu coming over. Jiang Xiu had joined the university for over a month yet this was their first meeting on-campus. She revealed a warm smile on her face.

"To see the campus diva!"

"You must be craving for a beating, right?" Cheng Lingran actually didn't like the title of campus diva. Let alone, the second-ranked campus diva. She sent him an angry glance, "You've come at the right time. See? One, two and three. Go bring three meals."

Jiang Xiu became gloomy. Of course, you'd make me your delivery boy.

Those brutes were stupefied.

Brother Xiu, you're terrific! You're chatting with the campus diva and even made her smile at you. Goddamn it! What's the relationship between you two? You hid so deeply.

"Ranran, who is he?"

The two classmates beside her were very curious.

"A fresher of the Archaeology Dept., Jiang Xiu." Cheng Lingran knew very well what kind of people her companions were. They were toppers of Imperial University, elites of influential families. They rejected outsiders very much, and unless one was on the same level as them, they'd be pushed aside. That's why Cheng Lingran didn't say much. "Let's give the duty of getting lunch to him today."

The two sisters treated Jiang Xiu entirely different. Cheng Lingsu wanted Jiang Xiu to act as if he didn't know her for the 3 years of high school and Cheng Lingran was anxious Jiang Xiu would be outcasted by others and thus protected him. This too wasn't something unimaginable. After all, Cheng Lingsu had abandoned him in his previous life while Cheng Lingran sacrificed her life to make it up to Jiang Xiu.

"Okay!"

The two girls sized up Jiang Xiu. His looks were pretty good, but there weren't any peculiar aspects. These so-called peculiar aspects referred to the fact that his clothes were quite common, which meant he wasn't a wealthy young master. They were surprised at how favorably Cheng Lingran treated him.

"This is Fang Yi, and this is Bai Fei…"

Fan Yi was a tall girl with somewhat tanned skin while Bai Fei was a fair oval-faced maiden.

"I'll trouble you today then."

Jiang Xiu waved his hands. It was just bringing food, that's all. He walked over towards the dining hall. Many people lined up during lunchtime. The brutes had already rushed over towards him. "Fudge! Jiang Xiu, you know the goddess?"

"Are you going to have lunch together?"

"What's your relationship with her?"

Each one of them almost drowned him with a question.

"Go grab three sets if you want to know."

"Okay!"

The party went over to the dining hall. Zhou Jin didn't have any thoughts of picking up the goddess, he only wishes to get a partner. Two girls were accompanying the goddess, and he wasn't picky. Thereupon, he made a serious face and said to Jiang Xiu, "I don't reject a May-December relationship."

Zhang Yiwen agreed, "Me too!"

One couldn't deny that they craved for it too.

Zheng Lun immediately poured a bucket of cold water on them, "Don't even think about it. Cheng Lingran is studying Finance, and the girls beside her have quite the background. Birds of a feather flock together. That group isn't something we can enter."

"Just be satisfied that you were able to grab food for them once."

Cheng Lingsu and her best friends had already taken seats. As she saw Jiang Xiu come over with the food, she raised her slender, lily-white hand to wave at him. "Little Xiu, over here…"

Those brutes took a seat at the neighboring table. They only dared to look from afar and didn't dare go near. They had an enviously look on their face when they saw Jiang Xiu sit beside Cheng Lingran. They could only sigh endlessly.

Bai Fei asked, "Jiang Xiu, you've entered the uni for over a month, how come you didn't find Ranran to have lunch together?" This question was pretty odd and seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"I was busy!"

Fang Yi stated, "You aren't Ranran's temporary shield, right?"

Jiang Xiu placed the tomatoes from his plate into Cheng Lingran's. She liked to eat this bittersweet thing a lot. As her husband in the previous life, he knew very well about what she loved. He then looked at Fang Yi, "Shield? What for?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense." Cheng Lingran added in.

Fang Yi continued, "I'm not saying nonsense. Who doesn't know that Long Tingwei has set his eyes on you? It's possible for you to look for a person to act like your boyfriend."

Cheng Lingran was dazed. She hadn't thought about this problem much and got reminded of it by Fang Yi.

"What? Someone's trying to woo you?"

Cheng Lingran waved her hands in a rush. She seemed a little nervous. It was unclear whether she was faking a nervous expression or whether she was indeed a little nervous. In short, this behavior was to make it clear to Fang Yi and Bai Fei that she cared about Jiang Xiu a lot. "No. Don't I already have you? I wouldn't dare to associate with anyone else."

Jiang Xiu didn't expect to learn of such a surprising thing today. It seemed like someone was really harassing Cheng Lingran.

Cheng Lingran took a bite into the tomatoes which Jiang Xiu had passed into her plate without any misgivings. It was difficult to judge the relationship between people as there was always a distance between them. This was evident when two people sat beside each other. The closer they sit, the better their relationship. 50 cm was a safe distance for regular interaction, and 30 cm meant they had a good relationship, but right now, Cheng Lingran and Jiang Xiu were so close that their shoulders even brushed past each other occasionally.

Only close people did that.

"Could he really be her boyfriend?"

Fang Yi and Bai Fei looked at each other, thinking that if that was indeed the case, Long Tingwei would go crazy.

Just as they were chatting, a commotion rose up in the dining hall. Everyone looked towards the source and saw a girl enter the dining hall. She wore crimson clothes and had tied her long hair. Her skin was fair and brows dark as well as curvy at the edges. Her pretty eyes were ice-cold, similar to a spring which had frozen an eternity ago. She had a celestial nose paired with tiny crimson lips. From the shape of her face, it was clear that she was born beautiful, but there was no gentleness on her face nor the zeal of youth, only a desolate, indifferent look.

Her crimson clothes were quite hot and sexy but paired together with her fair skin and the desolate, indifferent look, it instead gave an unusual chill to others.

"Long Yingqing!"

"The No.1 diva of the campus!"

"How come she's here?"

According to the rumors, among the four campus divas, only Cheng Lingran ate in the dining hall. The other three had never appeared in the dining hall. Jiang Xiu's side also looked towards Long Yingqing and saw her come over towards them.

She came right in front of Cheng Lingran!

Long Yingqing ran her gaze over Cheng Lingran's face then said, "You think you're qualified to be a campus diva with just your looks?"

Cheng Lingran smiled, "I have never thought that was the case."

"Nowadays, some people like to seek fame. What beauty and campus diva? It's all to get a wealthy husband. To say it frankly, it's selling themselves."

She purposely emphasized the word 'selling' to imply something.

Cheng Lingran's expression turned ugly.

"I feel quite conflicted towards the voting because there's always some or the other green tea bitch who manages to slip in…"

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xiu raised the bowl of hot Nori Tamago Soup and splashed it across her face. As Long Yingqing's attention was entirely on Cheng Lingran, she was unable to guard in time, resulting in the soup getting all over her face.

Everyone was stupefied.

Whoa!

All of them cried out in surprise.

"Oh my God!"

"He splashed the soup across Long Yingqing's face…" Jiang Xiu's dormmates were stunned as well.

Fudge! Deity Xiu, you've really done it.

You've really laid your hands on the hot frying pan.
