Chapter 725: Chapter 725

Huorong Qing had to completely wrap herself up due to her circumstances.

Her hair and eyes were too eye-catching. If she didn’t cover herself up, many people would flock towards her. Over the years, the only person Huorong Qing could get along with was Li Mengyao.

They were both, for the most part, raised together, and were very close.

"Mengyao isn’t usually ; perhaps she was frightened this time."

"It’s okay, our master does possess a strong ability and talent." The sisters didn’t know what else to say.

They didn’t socialize much, so their conversations quickly became awkward. Fortunately, they were kept busy by the constant stream of demons needing to be hunted, making their interactions fairly enjoyable.

Up ahead, Du You was being quite harassed by Li Mengyao. He almost made mistakes executing his spells several times, but it didn’t matter. Even if he messes it up, the spell’s effect wouldn’t be reduced significantly; after all, they were all wide-ranging and highly potent spells.

"Du You, I heard you’ve already obtained the unicorn. Summon it and let us see. The unicorn is very powerful, especially against demons. It’s a natural predator."

Du You rolled his eyes: "Not yet, when the time comes, I’ll summon it."

Truth be told, he wasn’t keen on summoning the unicorn. It was too fearful, and summoning it under these circumstances would be embarrassing. It’s better to discipline it when there’s no one else around.

"How about your two birds? Their summoning skills and spellcasters don’t match at all. But they seem able to continually level up. How did you manage that? Won’t that affect your own advancement?"

Li Mengyao spoke non-stop and sounded nothing like the reserved goddess she usually was. Although Du You had minimal contact with her, he had heard rumors about her being quiet and gentle.

Either those rumors had been exaggerated, or she was putting on a front.

In this strange atmosphere, they kept advancing until the sun was about to set, then they contemplated resting.

"What a nuisance," Du You sighed inwardly. Normally, he’d find a secure place and summon his beasts to guard him while he rested—the only problem being the noise they created.

But now, he dared not summon all his beasts. If people saw so many summoned beasts, even if he denied any wrongdoing, they wouldn’t believe It.

What surprised Du You was when they found a spot under a large rock, Huorong Qing courageously stepped forward. She quickly set up an array around them, forming a barrier.

Outside sounds didn’t penetrate, and passing demons wouldn’t detect their existence unless they walked into the array. Those who did, would only find Du You’s beast that wasn’t harmless.

"I’m glad we have your summoned beast to protect us, so we don’t have to use our stored summoning scroll to survive the night. There are demons everywhere. No wonder few people are willing to come here." Li Mengyao had heard about this world but it was her first time in it. If not for the school summoning them, she wouldn’t have wanted to come.

"Alright, let’s rest," said Du You who had been roped into conversation by Li Mengyao all day. His head was buzzing.

Du You had his own tent and looked gloomy. Because of these people, he was not able to spend a fun evening with the sisters Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, not at all inclined to eavesdropping.

He opened his space, started cleaning up the Light balls that had dropped. His resentment grew deeper, indeed, the burst rate had decreased drastically. Plus, having these two around, the burst rate isn’t even a third of what it used to be.

In another tent, the sisters Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were quietly whispering.

"Why wouldn’t you let me speak up? That woman is nothing special, and quite annoying."

Lin Yucha seriously said: "Don’t forget our status. Even though master treats us well, we are still slaves. No matter who the master’s wife or concubine is in the future, their status will be higher than ours."

"Oh, do you think master likes that woman? He seems irritated to me."

A gap separates men from women, especially for beautiful women. If the master truly likes her, offending her now would have severe consequences." They also had to consider their future.

Li Mengyao’s appearance and figure were not much different from the sisters’, but her narcissus-like temperament, something the two sisters couldn’t match, was a result of their different upbringings.

If Du You knew about this, he’ll probably have an unfavorable opinion, thinking what narcissus? By the way she was bothering him, trumpet flower would be a more accurate description.

"I still think Xi Qianxue, the cold woman, is better, at least she gets along with us."

"You’re right, if possible, we should also pull over Xi Qianxue. Then we wouldn’t have to fear other women." Lin Yucha seemed to have thought of something, her eyes sparkled.

Not far away, Huorong Qing looked strangely at Li Mengyao. Chapters fırst released on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Why are you looking at me with such a weird expression? What’s wrong?"

"You’re the strange one. You’re not usually . As I recall, you don’t know Du You very well. Why, do you have your sights on him?"

Li Mengyao candidly nodded: "I do have mild feelings for him, but saying I’ve set my sights on him is too soon. Don’t you think so? He is a good person except for his poor household. In terms of character, ability, and potential, he stands out among all those so-called talents. Given time, he would soar to great heights."

"So? Is this why you’re being proactive?"

"Hmph, I wouldn’t stoop so low. I’m just really curious about him. Don’t you think Du You has many secrets? It’s rather irresistible."

"Just make sure you’re aware and don’t get caught up in it. It won’t end well when that happens."

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Even If I do get caught up, it might not be a bad thing. If he can reach the fifth rank before graduation, I believe even my family can’t object."

Reaching the fifth tier before graduation? This is not an easy feat. In the history of Capital University, only two people have achieved this before graduation. Could Du You be the third?

" If it does happen, I’m sure you’ll pass your family’s test rather easily, but from what I’m seeing, his character doesn’t seem like one that would stick to you because of your family."
