Chapter 30: Ling Luochen
Chapter 30: Ling Luochen
Under the moonlight, the cold woman's blossoming smile stunned the surrounding male students.
Even Chen Feng paused, captivated, before quickly regaining composure.
Ling Luochen greeted him warmly, clearly there for him.
The male students shot Chen Feng envious glances. Jealousy? The gap was too vast for that—just a sigh that being handsome and strong had its perks.
Female students speculated about the "senior" woman's relationship with Chen Feng, lamenting their tough competition—not just with peers but with upperclassmen too.
Chen Feng smiled. "Senior Ling."
He stepped toward Ling Luochen.
Her smile faded, replaced by a hint of annoyance. "Don't call me Senior Ling. I told you to find me when you're free, but you've done nothing for so long."
Chen Feng recalled their last meeting was just a week ago. Was that long? "I've been in seclusion, training my self-created Spirit skills. I only emerged yesterday. But, Senior Sister, you're not in your inner courtyard uniform today?"
Ling Luochen rolled her eyes, thinking, I changed just for you, or I wouldn't bother. She said casually, "The inner courtyard uniform's too conspicuous, so I wore a skirt. What, doesn't it look good?"
Chen Feng glanced at her, eyes brightening. Her long white skirt swayed in the evening breeze, elegant and aloof, perfectly outlining her slender figure. The corset accentuated her balanced proportions—not as overwhelming as Ma Xiaotao's, but delicately graspable. Her slim waist, exposed collarbone, and lace-trimmed skirt revealed white, delicate calves, sparking desire in the dim light.
Noticing his gaze, Ling Luochen's face flushed. She shot him a playful look. "Done staring? Is it good?"
"The skirt's beautiful, and Senior Sister Ling is even more so," Chen Feng replied.
Her face lit up, though she hummed proudly, "Good taste."
They began chatting.
Ling Luochen's initial frustration at Chen Feng's absence faded when he mentioned training self-created Spirit skills. As a dedicated Spirit Master, she was intrigued.
Shrek's inner courtyard taught powerful, secret Spirit skills, exclusive to disciples under confidentiality agreements. But these were mere combinations or explosive techniques, offering modest strength boosts.
Chen Feng's self-created Spirit skill shocked her.
As curious outer courtyard students gathered, Ling Fuochen grabbed Chen Feng's hand and bolted. "Come on!"
"Senior Ling!"
"Enough seclusion, Chen Feng. Listen to your Senior Sister. You need balance. No training tonight—I'm taking you to explore Shrek City and relax."
Her heart raced as she held his hand, her thoughts a mystery…

*Shrek's East City Gate*
Huo Yuhao, strapped for cash, followed Tang Ya's plan to earn money by selling grilled fish.
"Yuhao, let's set up at Shrek's East Gate. It's lively there," Tang Ya said.
Outside the gate, vendors and Shrek students lined the avenue, selling various goods, mostly food, with hawkers' calls echoing.
Near the gate, Tang Ye produced grilling tools: a metal oven, iron rack, seasonings, cleaned herring, and a small table.
"Okay, Yuhao, show your skills. Save two fish for me. One fish is five copper coins," Tang Ya said before darting off, the eager foodie.
Huo Yuhao checked the seasonings, marinated the herring, and started grilling, humming happily. His time at Shrek was his happiest yet.
Previously, Wang Dong had beaten him badly, but Tang Ya intervened, revealing her Tang Sect leadership and Huo Yuhao's discipleship. Wang Dong, though still dismissive, stopped the attacks.
Beibei had cleared Huo Yuhao's blocked meridians, easing his cultivation despite their narrowness.
Today, Teacher Zhou Yi's praise elated him. She'd replaced Wang Dong as class monitor with Huo Yuhao, whose smug memory of Wang Dong's sour face thrilled him.
With his Spirit Eyes' keen vision, Huo Yuhao timed the grilling perfectly. Golden herring glistened with oil, their rich aroma bursting forth.
The scent drew a third-year Shrek student in a purple uniform, who bought one and devoured it, stunned by its flavor.
Seeing his enthusiasm, other students realized Huo Yuhao's fish were exceptional, snapping up his first batch of three.
As his stall boomed, a stunning figure emerged from Shrek's gate, drawing every eye.
