Chapter 78: Good Stuff

???

One hour later, Ye Xuan returned to the academy. Just as he entered, he ran into Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang said, “Ye Xuan, you came at the right time. The dean wants to see you. He called you earlier, but you didn’t answer. Just go straight to his office.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan said, “Something’s up? I’ll go over right away.”

Since Ye Xuan didn’t bring his phone with him while showering, he didn’t see Lin Xu’s missed call.

Soon, Ye Xuan arrived at the office. Lin Xu glanced at him and said, “What’s that smell on you? Are you wearing perfume now? Acting all girly!”

Helplessly, Ye Xuan said, “Alright, there’s a reason for it. Just tell me, what’s the matter?”

Lin Xu picked up a newspaper and handed it to Ye Xuan. It was the Jiangcheng Daily, the largest local newspaper in Jiangcheng.

There were two news stories on it. One was about a family of three who had a car accident while returning from an outing. The car crashed through the bridge railing and sank into the water. The family of three, Su, Chen, and Chen’s son, drowned.

The other news was about an advertising billboard in Jiangcheng that had fallen due to long-term disrepair. It hit a passerby named Zhao, who died on the spot.

After reading for a while, Ye Xuan said, “Dean Lin, you guys work efficiently.”

Lin Xu immediately said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could we do such things? These were accidents, alright?”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Fine, accidents it is. But why did you tell me? Why didn’t you just tell Mengli directly?”

Lin Xu furrowed his brows and said, “That won’t do. This matter, it’s better if you tell her. After all, you and Mengli are close, and you’ll be family in the future. With you there, it can also serve as some comfort for her.”

Ye Xuan could only say, “Alright, but let me make it clear. I won’t take the blame for you. At most, I’ll say a few good words on your behalf.”

Lin Xu smiled and said, “That’s all I need. By the way, come to the cafeteria earlier this afternoon. I’ll have something good arranged for you!”

Ye Xuan asked curiously, “What good thing?”

Lin Xu smiled mysteriously and said, “You’ll find out then.”

More than ten minutes later, Su Mengli arrived at Ye Xuan’s dormitory. Previously, the members of the Student Council’s Student Life Department had been severely dealt with and no longer dared to check on the dorms…

Ye Xuan took out the newspaper and said, “Mengli, take a look at this.”

Su Mengli took the newspaper and read it for a while, then asked, “Did something happen to them?”

Ye Xuan nodded, “Yeah, you have a lot of weight in the Awakening Academy. Currently, there are less than five SSS-class Awakeners in the whole country. Your growth is crucial. For the sake of the overall situation, the academy has decided to eliminate potential problems for you.”

Su Mengli sighed, “They raised and nurtured me after all…”

“They each took two million from me, so you don’t owe them anything,” Ye Xuan said.

Su Mengli smiled, “That’s right, I don’t owe them anything. From now on, I only have you. You won’t leave me, right?”

Ye Xuan firmly said, “Of course not. Whether in life or death, I will protect you and never leave.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mengli was deeply moved. Then, she hugged Ye Xuan, and the two of them cuddled intimately.

In the room, the ambiguous atmosphere was heating up. Ye Xuan wanted to try again what he couldn’t accomplish last time.

However, they hadn’t been hugging for long when Su Mengli made a bitter face and said, “Ye Xuan, can you go take a shower? I want to endure it, but the smell of your pigsty mixed with that perfume is too strange. I can’t stand it, ugh…”

As she spoke, Su Mengli started to retch. At this moment, she still seemed a bit naive, not as calm and composed as the future Empress…

Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli pitifully and said, “I’ll go wash up. You won’t dislike me, right?”

Su Mengli immediately said, “Of course not. Just wash up properly. Listen to me, go wash!”

Ye Xuan had no choice but to go to the bathhouse again. This time, he decided that he wouldn’t stop until he scrubbed off a layer of skin!

After washing up, Ye Xuan arrived at the cafeteria early and saw Lin Xu. He asked, “Dean Lin, you said you have a surprise for me. What is it?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu clapped his hands and said, “Zhang, bring out your masterpiece!”

Then, Chef Zhang from the cafeteria walked over with a huge steamer.

Afterward, the steamer was opened, revealing two meatballs the size of basketballs lying quietly inside.

Chef Zhang had used advanced techniques to carve beautiful patterns on the meatballs, and various seasonings were embedded in the patterns, giving off a fragrant smell.

Ye Xuan looked at the two meatballs and his expression changed. “Are these from the Pig King?”

Lin Xu proudly said, “How is it? Do you like them? Let me tell you, that Pig King is extraordinary. Before its transformation, it was already the king of breeding pigs in Magic City. It never missed a shot. In just over ten years of its pig life, it has thousands of descendants. After the transformation, its talent is even more extraordinary! Have you heard of ‘using form to supplement form’? These two meatballs, after eating them, will definitely ensure your manly vigor. At the same time, they’ll make you as fertile as a breeding pig. Whoever you shoot at will get pregnant. What do you think?”

Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, “Dean Lin, you should be the one to eat it. I’m not interested!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu said seriously, “You’re not interested? Then I’ll eat it! I’m not joking with you!”

Lin Xu said as he directly cut off a large piece of meat with a knife and ate it with a fork. While eating, he said, “The meat is very chewy, and Chef Zhang’s skill is top-notch. It’s really good…”

Ye Xuan suddenly said, “You enjoy your meal first. By the way, there should be hot springs in Magic City, right? Dean Lin, recommend me a place. I plan to soak for a few days.”

“Soak in hot springs? Why do you want to soak in hot springs?” Lin Xu asked.

Ye Xuan simply said, “You don’t need to worry about that. In any case, I need to soak properly.”

Lin Xu thought for a moment and took out a card from his pocket. He said, “Go to this health spa hot spring. It’s owned by my friend, and you don’t have to pay. Just soak as much as you want.”

Ye Xuan took the black gold card from Lin Xu and said, “Thanks, Dean Lin.”

Lin Xu smiled and said, “It’s a special offer, one hundred spiritual stones.”

Ye Xuan sighed, “Dean Lin, you’ve changed. How can you be so greedy for a student’s spiritual stones? Besides, I just helped you out today!”

Lin Xu had no choice but to say, “Alright, alright, I’ll give it to you for free. You’re stingy, not even giving me a hundred stones when you casually threw out five hundred for your wife’s birthday.”

Ye Xuan said confidently, “You said it yourself, she’s my wife, not yours.”

After saying that, Ye Xuan left with Lin Xu’s black gold card.
