Chapter 192: Just Be My Girlfriend Already!

As she spoke, Xiao Wu lifted her right leg, effortlessly displaying her flexibility as she placed her long, slender leg on Yun Feng's shoulder.

Yun Feng raised his hands, one gently gripping her ankle while the other massaged her calf.

His soul power radiated warmth, penetrating deep into her muscles. Xiao Wu immediately closed her eyes, a comfortable flush rising to her cheeks.

While kneading her leg, Yun Feng casually said,

"If we have to keep traveling like this tomorrow, why don't I just carry you? I barely feel anything when I fly."

Xiao Wu giggled.

"No need, I can handle it. Besides, this way, I have an excuse to make you massage my legs. It feels so good! Yun Feng, why are your hands always so warm?"

Yun Feng simply smiled and continued his movements, lightly pressing against her foot.

"How does this feel?"

"Mmm, really nice. My feet don't feel sore anymore."

Even through her white stockings, the heat from Yun Feng's palms seeped into her skin, making her feel as though she were soaking in a warm spring.

Her gaze became hazy with relaxation.

"Alright, switch legs."

Xiao Wu stared at Yun Feng for a moment, her expression freezing slightly.

"Yun Feng… wouldn't it be nice if we could always be like this? If you ever get a girlfriend, will you still have time for me?"

That was the classic green tea question!

Yun Feng smirked.

"Xiao Wu, when did you become so insecure?"

"If you're worried about that, just be my girlfriend already! Problem solved!"

When it came to romance, Yun Feng had mastered the art. He wasn't overly eager, nor did he reject anyone—but he always took responsibility.

As expected, after hearing those words, Xiao Wu burst into laughter.

"Then… when we grow up, I'll marry you, okay? That way, we can always be together."

A cunning glint flashed in Yun Feng's eyes.

"Alright, but you're so beautiful—just don't back out later!"

Xiao Wu looked at him, suddenly unsure of who was taking advantage of whom.

Pouting, she huffed,

"I'm serious."

Yun Feng nodded.

"I know. I'm serious too, Xiao Wu."

As he spoke, he leaned in closer.

A slight shyness crossed Xiao Wu's face. Just as their faces were about to touch, she suddenly pulled back her leg, stepping behind Yun Feng.

Her hands landed on his shoulders, giving him a light massage.

Although her technique was unpolished, the warmth of her touch made Yun Feng feel an unexpected sense of comfort.

More than that, the quiet tenderness in her actions stirred something deep in his heart.

"Alright, you should go rest. We have another long day ahead tomorrow."

It wasn't that Yun Feng didn't want to keep her here.

But after just finishing a round with Ah Yin, he couldn't exactly eat Xiao Wu so soon.

Better to save that for later and start a new game with his big sister instead!

"Okay."

Xiao Wu nodded softly and left for her room.

Her heartbeat quickened, but a trace of hesitation flickered in her eyes.

The next morning, the group resumed their journey.

By now, they had left Barak Kingdom and entered the borders of Silvis Kingdom.

Thankfully, Flender didn't push them to exhaustion today.

He simply maintained a steady pace, leading the group northeast.

By the evening, they reached Silvis City, the capital of Silvis Kingdom.

Surprisingly, Flender chose to stop here instead of a smaller town.

Even more shocking was the fact that he booked them into an upscale hotel!

The sun had just set when they arrived.

Yu Xiaogang immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Flender, have you gone soft?"

Not only did their usually stingy Headmaster check them into a luxurious hotel, but he also booked five rooms—giving everyone ample space.

Even dinner was exceptionally lavish.

Both Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji exchanged puzzled glances.

This was not the Flender they knew.

Had their famously frugal Headmaster suddenly become generous?

During dinner, the mystery was finally revealed.

Flender smiled warmly, lifting his wine glass.

"Two days of hard travel—everyone has worked hard. Tonight, let's enjoy a good meal. But, little monsters, you're only allowed one glass of wine each."

With that, he downed his drink and enthusiastically urged everyone to eat.

Oscar leaned toward Dai Mubai and whispered,

"I don't trust that smile. I'd rather see our Headmaster serious—his grins always feel scheming."

Dai Mubai chuckled.

"Wait and see. If he's spending this much money, something's definitely up."

And sure enough…

Once the wine had been poured and the food enjoyed, Flender finally wiped his mouth and spoke.

"You all haven't had real combat in two months. Coincidentally, there's a Soul Arena here in Silvis City. Why don't you go warm up tonight?"

"No need to join every battle—just the team match will do. We don't want to affect tomorrow's travel."

Dai Mubai smirked.

"Headmaster, does that mean whatever rewards we earn are ours this time?"

Flender replied with righteous indignation,

"The academy may be closing, but as your Headmaster, do you think I'd take advantage of my students?"

"All earnings from tonight's fight are yours to keep. Or… do you doubt my intentions, Mubai?"

Dai Mubai was momentarily stunned.

He had assumed Flender wanted them to fight so he could collect the winnings.

At their current level, a team battle would earn each of them at least 100 gold soul coins—quite a fortune when added up.

But now Flender was saying he didn't want a cut?

Had he really changed?

Across the table, Ma Hongjun signaled Dai Mubai with a hand gesture.

Dai Mubai's eyes widened in realization.

Ma Hongjun's gesture had only two syllables:

"Gambling."

Of course!

At their current level, almost no team in a place like this could beat them.

Flender had probably already bet on their victory!

By placing a heavy wager on their team, he could make a huge profit.

That was the real reason for this generous evening!

"Alright, let's go."

Flender cheerfully paid for their meal and, after confirming the Soul Arena's location, led them toward it.

Silvis Grand Soul Arena was even more impressive than the one in Soto City.

As the capital of a kingdom, Silvis naturally had a higher-class arena.

Wearing their familiar masks, the Shrek students prepared to fight once again.

But when Flender tried to register them for a team battle…

He was completely stunned.
