The roar, that guy!

  It was almost like a lion's roar.

  Not only was it full of energy, but even the dust on the ceiling of the Martial Academy dormitory was shaken loose by the roar.

  Su Bai, who had just registered with the Dormitory Auntie, naturally recognized it as her voice.

  Martial Academy is indeed extraordinary; even a mere Dormitory Auntie possesses such strength!

  As for who was looking for him, Su Bai didn't need to guess; he already knew.

  After entering the Martial Academy, aside from the three new roommates he met, Lin Yanran was his only friend.

  Putting down what he was doing, Su Bai went straight downstairs.

  Fan Chao'an watched Su Bai's departing figure and whispered from the window, "Do you think the goddess downstairs is here to see Su Bai?"

  Han Jiagang touched the luxury watch on his wrist, clearly skeptical, and shook his head with a smile.

  "Impossible! Even if I made a move, I might not be able to win over a goddess of that caliber. Su Bai? Not a chance!"

  "I don't think it's possible either. Although Su Bai is quite good-looking, compared to the goddess, it's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat..."

  As they spoke, Room 303 suddenly fell silent.

  They all stared in disbelief as Su Bai casually stood in front of the goddess downstairs!

  The other boys in the dormitory also noticed and immediately howled in despair.

  "Oh no! Someone beat us to it!"

  "Who the hell is that guy?"

  Ignoring the various shouts, whistles, and catcalls from the boys upstairs, Lin Yanran remained unfazed.

  In her eyes, the other boys were just a bunch of shallow and boring male gorillas, utterly annoying.

  Only when she was with Su Bai did she feel truly happy.

  Her crescent-moon eyes watched as Su Bai got closer.

  Seeing this, the three in Room 303 were utterly shocked.

  Tao Jiajun pointed at Su Bai with a trembling finger, "No way, she's really here for Su Bai? I can't believe it!"

  Han Jiagang was dumbfounded, "This can't be real."

  Under the dormitory lights, Lin Yanran's crescent eyes looked Su Bai up and down, who was now dressed in the Martial Academy's training uniform.

  "Su Bai, you look quite imposing in that training uniform!"

  As she spoke, Lin Yanran walked up to Su Bai and gently smoothed out some minor wrinkles on his clothes.

  Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

  She looked just like a little wife.

  "Now you look even more handsome!"

  "By the way, the new recruit training starts the day after tomorrow, and I've prepared some cultivation resources for you."

  "Don't say no, this isn't the time to be stubborn."

  "Otherwise, I'll be upset."

  Because Lin Yanran's father helped Su Bai get into the Martial Academy, no one knew that Su Bai had already awakened his powers, not even Lin Yanran.

  She still thought Su Bai's current level wasn't high, considering she knew about his family's financial situation, which wasn't affluent enough to provide him with abundant cultivation resources.

  In reality, Lin Yanran was overthinking it.

  Su Bai didn't hesitate at all, accepting the white jade bottle and putting it directly into his pocket without even looking.

  "Alright, I won't be polite then. If anything happens at school, remember to come to me."

  Seeing Su Bai accept her gift without any hesitation and showing such concern for her, Lin Yanran felt warm inside and responded sweetly.

  "Okay!"

  Looking at the girl in front of him, Su Bai habitually patted Lin Yanran's head. Lin Yanran didn't avoid it, remaining as docile as a kitten, letting Su Bai rub her proud little head.

  The two chatted and laughed, appearing incredibly close, which shattered the hearts of countless boys in the dormitory building.

  "How dare he touch my goddess's head! Get your filthy paws off her!"

  "Who the hell is this guy?"

  "What's his deal? Where did he come from? I better not see him again, or I'll beat him every time I do!"

  Unfortunately, all they could do was watch helplessly as their goddess interacted intimately with Su Bai.

  Apart from their impotent roars of anger, there was nothing they could do, as fighting was prohibited among Martial Academy students.

  A lingering stench of jealousy filled the entire boys' dormitory.

  Su Bai and Lin Yanran ignored the crowd, having grown accustomed to envious looks since high school. Coming to the Martial Academy was just a change of scenery.

  The two chatted for a long time before Lin Yanran reluctantly waved goodbye.

  "See you tomorrow!"

  The entire dormitory watched Lin Yanran's departing figure from their windows.

  ...

  When Su Bai returned to his dorm room, he found his three roommates staring at him like hungry wolves.

  The dorm leader, acting like a wild horse, jumped directly in front of Su Bai from the window sill.

  "Brother Su, Brother Su, you and that goddess just now..."

  The dorm leader, who had been acting all high and mighty earlier, was now calling him Brother Su.

  "Goddess? What goddess?"

  Su Bai was puzzled for three seconds before realizing they were referring to Lin Yanran. Perhaps because he was so used to seeing her every day, he didn't view Lin Yanran as a goddess.

  "High school classmate, why?"

  "Ahem, well, Brother Su, since all four of us are here today, it's fate."

  "I'll treat everyone to a nice meal in a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria tonight. If possible, could you invite the goddess to join us?"

  The other two roommates chimed in, fearing Su Bai would refuse.

  Lin Yanran's beauty was just too outstanding!

  At that moment, Su Bai was still thinking about extracting some turtle blood to sell to the dorm leader, so he naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with him.

  As for introducing Lin Yanran to them?

  Not a chance!

  "She's already eaten, and I have something to do later. Hmm... how about this, I'll come by after eight."

  Seeing that Su Bai agreed to come but the goddess wouldn't, Han Jiagang had to settle for second best and nodded.

  "Alright, Brother Su, make sure you're on time!"

  Su Bai nodded and left the dormitory, noting that it was already around seven, leaving him an hour before the dorm gathering.

  He could do something else.

  After wandering around the Martial Academy, he finally found a secluded spot and summoned Little Tortoise from the taming space.

  Drawing the prepared dagger, he immediately stabbed at Little Tortoise's forepaw.

  After advancing to the mid-tier, Little Tortoise's defense had skyrocketed to thirty-eight points, and the dagger couldn't even pierce its skin.

  "Roar roar roar~"

  The pained Little Tortoise let out a pitiful cry, thinking its owner had released it to feed it, only to find out he wanted to draw its blood again!

  The bloody lesson from last time was still fresh in its memory, so Little Tortoise retracted its head and limbs into its shell.

  Seeing Little Tortoise's reaction, Su Bai rolled his eyes. This little guy had gotten smarter.

  Trying to forcefully extract turtle blood would only provoke Little Tortoise's resistance.

  Moreover, he couldn't even cut through its skin now. If he could persuade it to willingly give blood, it would be much easier.

  It seemed he needed to employ a softer approach.

  Su Bai put on a gentle smile and coaxed softly:

  "Little Eight, do you remember the Blood Qi Powder you had last time? Wasn't it delicious?"

  Hearing Su Bai's words, Little Tortoise's eyes lit up, and drool almost dripped from its mouth.

  But fearing harm from its owner, it still didn't extend its head.

  Seeing Little Tortoise's lack of response, Su Bai continued with a fatherly smile, gently persuading:

  "Would you like another bottle?"

  "Roar~" (Yes!)

  In the end, Little Tortoise couldn't resist the temptation of the Blood Qi Powder and cautiously peeked out its head, ready to retract it if Su Bai made any sudden moves, giving him no chance!

  "Do you know how valuable your turtle blood is? It can be exchanged for Blood Qi Powder at the pharmacy. If you're willing to give some essence blood, I can exchange it for Blood Qi Powder. I'm helping you, not hurting you, understand?"

  Little Tortoise continued to scrutinize Su Bai with a skeptical look, as if saying, "I didn't study much, don't try to fool me."

  Seeing Little Tortoise's expression, Su Bai was exasperated.

  After much persuasion, almost painting a rosy future for Little Tortoise, he finally convinced Little Eight.

  Su Bai let out a sigh of relief and took out the prepared white jade bottle, signaling Little Tortoise to start.

  Determined to get the Blood Qi Powder, Little Tortoise bit down on its forepaw, creating a wound from which blood flowed.

  Su Bai quickly brought the white jade bottle to collect the turtle blood.

  Thirty thousand.

  Sixty thousand.

  ...

  Two hundred and ten thousand.

  Each drop of turtle blood was conservatively valued at thirty thousand. By the time the seventh drop fell into the jade bottle, Little Tortoise's wound had already healed.

  Seven drops were enough for now; any more, and Little Tortoise might not handle it.

  After all, the wool comes from the sheep, and he couldn't shear it too harshly.

  Seeing Little Eight's pitiful expression, Su Bai affectionately patted its head.

  "Don't worry, I promised you Blood Qi Powder, and I'll definitely get it for you."
