Chapter 79: The Only Light

In the following two days, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli practiced normally during the day. At night, they didn’t even return to their dormitory. They spent the whole night together, trying to get rid of the smell on their bodies.

Two days later, Ye Xuan went straight to Su Mengli and asked, “Mengli, do I still smell?”

Su Mengli squeezed herself into Ye Xuan’s arms and sniffed him with her delicate little nose.

After a moment, Su Mengli said, “Okay, the smell is completely gone.”

Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and planted a kiss on Su Mengli’s cheek. Su Mengli blushed and looked adorable.

Just then, they heard a commotion not far away. Several male and female students were arguing. Ye Xuan said, “Let’s go and see what’s going on.”

They approached and listened for a while, and basically understood what was happening. It started with a quarrel between Zhao Lei and Yun Mengyao.

In his words, Zhao Lei felt that in the Awakening Academy, girls were inferior to boys. If they were to fight, they would rely on boys, and girls were at most assistants and decorations.

Yun Mengyao immediately argued with Zhao Lei. Soon, other boys and girls joined in, turning it into a competition between boys and girls.

Yun Mengyao said, “You think we girls are inferior to you boys? Talking is useless. If you have the ability, show it with your actions. The only SSS-class Awakened in the academy is a girl!”

Zhao Lei, on the other hand, was not convinced. “Su Mengli may be SSS-class, but in the previous two missions, whether it was the battle against the serpent or the decisive battle against the pigs, who played the biggest role? Wasn’t it Ye Xuan?”

At this moment, Yun Mengyao saw Su Mengli approaching and immediately said, “Mengli, you came at the right time. These guys look down on us girls, saying that we are just their accessories. As the only SSS-class Awakened, tell them, are you just an accessory?”

Upon hearing this, Su Mengli glanced at Ye Xuan and said seriously, “Where there are flowers, there are leaves. If it’s Ye Xuan, I’m willing to be his sidekick.”

Zhao Lei smirked triumphantly. “Did you hear that? Su Mengli said it herself. She’s willing to be his sidekick. In the era of Awakened, we boys are the protagonists!”

Upon hearing Zhao Lei’s words, Ye Xuan couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “What nonsense are you talking? Who has the right to make her a sidekick, even I don’t have the qualifications! She is the daughter of destiny, shining brightly. In this era, she is the only protagonist I need to stand by.”

Su Mengli looked at Ye Xuan affectionately and said, “I don’t know if I can shine brightly, but you are the only light in my heart. You always have been. You’ve brought color to my world.”

Ye Xuan didn’t expect Su Mengli, the future cold and aloof Empress, to be so good at sweet talk. He couldn’t help but embrace her, feeling her heartbeat and warmth.

A few meters away, the group of people who were arguing about gender equality suddenly felt full and satisfied in their stomachs. The topic they were arguing about suddenly became tasteless.

Several boys and girls who had been arguing with flushed faces sighed, “Forget it, it’s not interesting…”

Next, the group gradually dispersed, and Ye Xuan held Su Mengli’s hand, ready to return to the dormitory.

Just as they reached the entrance of the dormitory, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Mengli, accompany me to the supermarket.”

“What’s wrong? Do you need to buy something?” Su Mengli asked.

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Let’s change the bedding and buy an air freshener to get rid of any lingering smells.”

Su Mengli agreed, “Okay!”

An hour later, the couple arrived at the supermarket. Su Mengli helped Ye Xuan choose bed sheets and blankets, just like a couple living together, creating a warm atmosphere.

Before long, they finished shopping. Ye Xuan handed all his money to Su Mengli to keep, so she naturally paid at the counter.

After paying, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli pushed the shopping cart and walked past the electronic anti-theft door, ready to leave.

However, just as they passed through the electronic anti-theft door, the alarm went off, piercingly loud.

The supermarket security guards quickly ran over and stared sternly at Ye Xuan and Su Mengli.

One of the security guards said, “I didn’t expect such young people to be stealing. What did you steal? Hand it over!”

Su Mengli’s expression changed slightly, and Ye Xuan angrily retorted, “What nonsense are you spouting? Who stole your things?”

The security guard had a smug look on his face. “If you didn’t steal anything, why would the alarm go off? If you want to prove that you didn’t steal anything, we’ll have to search you!”

At this moment, the security guard was extremely excited. Su Mengli’s figure, appearance, and temperament were all top-notch.

In his entire life, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl. If he could search her, take advantage of her, he would be willing to die a few years earlier!

Ye Xuan originally wanted to reason with them, but when he heard this, he couldn’t bear it anymore. Search his girlfriend? Go eat shit!

Ye Xuan took a step forward, grabbed the security guard who wanted to search them by the neck, and exerted a little force. The security guard was lifted off the ground, struggling and kicking, but it was useless. His face turned redder and he looked like a dying chicken.

Another security guard was taken aback and shouted, “Help! Someone is stealing and assaulting people! Call for help!”

Not only these two security guards, but other security guards in the supermarket also rushed over when they heard the commotion. Many customers also joined in, creating a chaotic scene.

At this moment, Su Mengli said, “Ye Xuan, let him go.”

Even though Su Mengli was angry, as an Awakened, she couldn’t kill someone in public. Even if she wanted to take action, she had to do it secretly afterwards.

Ye Xuan listened to Su Mengli’s words and released the security guard’s neck. The security guard fell to the ground, gasping for breath and coughing incessantly, looking extremely miserable.

The supermarket manager had also arrived by now and immediately asked, “What’s going on?”

The security guard who had been choked complained, “Manager, this couple not only stole something but also attacked me. I was almost strangled to death. You have to seek justice for me!”

The supermarket manager looked at Ye Xuan and Su Mengli and asked, “What’s the matter?”
