Chapter 39: Xu Xin’s Visit

The destruction of the tomb-raiding gang relieved the governor of Gusu City of his burden. Happy, having obtained the Little Elixir, continued his training. At the outskirts of Black Wind Fort, he spent an afternoon and a night advancing the “Flower Knight Sword Technique” and “Five Elements Chain Axe” to the ninth level, his internal energy reaching nearly 35 points (40 points for entering the martial world).
The next morning, early in the day, Happy woke up at Bai Lang’s urging…
“What’s wrong?”
Still half-asleep and yawning sleepily, Happy sat up from bed but immediately saw the culprit quickly returning to the computer, staring intently at the screen alongside Chen Fan and Qi Ci, gritting their teeth in frustration:
“Entering the martial world! Damn it… just one day late… let him get ahead of us.”
“That bastard Yu Cha.”
“His internal energy is also 38 already. Tsk, with yesterday’s updates, he’s probably already entered the martial world too.” The three exchanged angry and envious remarks as Chen Fan controlled the mouse to scroll down and check the stats of the top-ranked figures in the Nanhua martial world rankings.
At this point, Happy suddenly understood.
Just like in his past life, the news that Yu Cha was the first to enter the martial world spread throughout Nanhua. The Lonely Three Wolves, stimulated by this, woke themselves up in excitement.
But…
“…It’s really fast.”
Happy was somewhat impressed, though not surprised. Although these people had entered the martial world earlier, their experience in various aspects was surely inferior to his. Yet they still managed to stay at the top, ahead of him—their strength was indeed remarkable.
“Happy, how are things at Murong Mansion?”
“Not bad. I should be able to enter the martial world in a couple of days.”
The three turned to look at Happy meaningfully before returning their gaze to the computer without saying anything. “Next time, use a joke we can accept.”
“You’re getting more and more dishonest… you’ve even learned to lie,” Bai Lang said, shaking his head sighingly as he continued to move the mouse.
It wasn’t surprising they didn’t believe him. Happy had only started taking missions after working at Murong Mansion for a week, and his actual training time wasn’t long—how could he possibly have surpassed them?
The three naturally assumed Happy was joking.
“…”
Sitting on the bed edge in silence for a moment, Happy realized just how ineffective his honesty was. With a helpless sigh, he gave up explaining, jumped down from the upper bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he came back, he found the Lonely Three Wolves still firmly at their posts, intensely monitoring the data, their eyes burning with a fighting spirit akin to a small universe. Curious, they asked, “What’s special about today? No classes?”

Kai Xin glanced at the time—ten minutes to eight; he was about to be late. All three of them looked up simultaneously, staring at Kai Xin with resentful expressions. “Come on, it’s the weekend today!” “We’re not like you; we don’t waste so much time every day.” “I’m wrong, I’m guilty—let me disappear.” Unable to withstand their relentless criticism, Kai Xin smiled as he put on his jacket and headed out. “Bring me some vermicelli.” “Three yuan for some steamed buns, please.” “A cup of soy milk and fried dough sticks…” The three of them quickly ordered their meals from the “delivery guy.” ……Kai Xin admitted his mistake and took care of his breakfast on his own. He carried the vermicelli and soy milk, with steamed buns and fried dough sticks hanging from his fingers, and struggled to make his way through the crowded crowd before briskly heading toward the dormitory building. But halfway there, someone called out to him: “Chen Kaixin.” The voice sounded familiar, and the noise around him seemed to fade suddenly. He turned carefully and saw Xu Xinting standing right in front of him. She was wearing a white dress over a delicate yellow jacket, paired with casual jeans. Her cheeks were slightly rosy, and her hands were intertwined. Her innocent appearance was tinged with shyness and nervousness—probably because she realized her urgent call had attracted unnecessary attention from many people… “Xu Xin?” Although he had some immunity to beautiful women, Kai Xin was still stunned by Xu Xin’s stunning appearance. He took a deep breath and stopped in his tracks. “Do you have time now? I have something to ask you.” Xu Xin’s face turned red. It was the first time she had spoken to a boy in front of so many people, and her face burned with embarrassment. “If it takes a long time, well…” Kai Xin raised his hands with a wry smile. “I have tasks to attend to. How about I come down later? Or, maybe you can come to my dorm?” What?! Trying to lure a young girl into a boys’ dorm in broad daylight? You’re really shameless!! The boys around them could hardly believe their eyes! Yet Xu Xin’s reaction shattered all the boys’ hearts—her eyes lit up as if she was pleasantly surprised. “Is it convenient at your boys’ dorm?” “It’s fine; they’re all up already.” Kai Xin said this in confusion. He already regretted suggesting she come to his dorm, but he didn’t expect her to agree without hesitation. What’s going on here?! His mind was a mess, but he still extended an invitation to Xu Xin in time.

“Sure, actually I’ve been wanting to see the ‘Nanhua Jianghu Ranking’ you guys made for a while now.”
Kai Xin immediately understood: So that’s how it is.
Xu Xin was also a computer science student, and since the Nanhua Jianghu Ranking had become popular on the campus of Nanhua University, it wasn’t surprising that she would volunteer to come and take a look.
However, though she agreed readily, the moment she stepped into the boys’ dormitory building, she became nervous. She followed closely behind Kai Xin, her face red, head lowered, not daring to look around—adorably like a peach.
When they returned to the dormitory, Kai Xin had checked ahead to make sure the “Lonely Three Wolves” hadn’t left any prohibited items like stinky socks or underwear around, nor were they watching Japanese art films, so she felt confident enough to lead Xu Xin inside.
The moment the fragrant breeze entered the dormitory, the “Lonely Three Wolves,” who were chewing food at the table, were first stunned, then completely frozen—Qici had a few vermicelli strands stuck in his mouth… Soy milk slowly dripped onto Chen Fan’s pants… Bai Lang let out a scream, “Ah!!!” as he rushed to the bathroom, scalded by the meat filling in the dumplings, and didn’t come out for a long time.
Why such a strong reaction?
Xu Xin had no idea how devastating the campus beauty could be to otaku guys; she blinked, confused.
“Ignore them.”
Seeing these guys act so poorly, Kai Xin felt extremely embarrassed. She coughed and, as if possessed, pulled the blushing guest to sit at the empty computer desk.
This action not only made Kai Xin and Xu Xin, who had just come to their senses, blush and quickly pull away, but also startled the onlooker Qici. In his panic, he swallowed the vermicelli too quickly, which went down his trachea. Clutching his mouth, his face turning red, he rushed to the bathroom secondly, coughing violently!
Chen Fan was even more extreme—he only woke up after half of the soy milk he was holding spilled. In a flurry, he gave Kai Xin a thumbs up while gritting his teeth in pain and rushing to the bathroom.
“What’s wrong with them?”
Watching them all rush to the bathroom, the redness on Xu Xin’s face faded slightly as she tried to ease the awkwardness caused by their close contact.
“Hmm…”
After regaining his composure, Kai Xin explained calmly, “It’s nothing. They’re used to eating in the bathroom.”
