Chapter 55: The Sudden Appearance of the "Yao Tribe"

  "This is the new student Long Ao Tian, everyone welcome the new student to join." Dongfang Xue clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention over and said.

  Everyone applauded together to welcome the new classmate, and several boys blew a few loud whistles.

  My gaze swept again, noticing that many students' faces were filled with genuine smiles, clearly delighted to have an additional companion. Even though I had been cultivating for nearly a thousand years and my heart was already as hard as iron, I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart, feeling somewhat moved.

  "What about Xiaonan?" Dongfang Xue looked around and asked in surprise.

  "The class monitor went out to buy something and should be back soon." a boy sitting in the corner replied.

  Dongfang Snow nodded and turned to me, saying: "Xiao Nan is the class leader of this class, which means she's the leader of this group of people. Later, you help me keep an eye on her."

  At this time, I noticed a sly look flashing across Dongfang Xue's eyes.

  Before I could grasp the meaning of her last sentence, the door was pushed open with a bang and a lively voice sounded from behind: "Hey, you guys aren't coming to help me carry things? Want me to die from exhaustion? Ah, Teacher Dongfang is here too."

  I turned around and exchanged a glance with the girl behind me who was holding a pile of snacks, and I couldn't help but stare.

  She was a girl about one hundred and sixty-five centimeters tall, with a small melon face, pink and white skin with a hint of tender redness, giving people a healthy and lively feeling. Her eyes were very big, the black pupils were full of spirit, and she stared at me curiously.

  "Xiao Nan, come here. This is our class's new student Long Ao Tian, he's very honest, you'll need to take care of him more often later." Dongfang Xue waved at the girl and introduced me to her, then turned back to me and said: "This is the class monitor Xiao Nan I was telling you about earlier."

  "Wait a minute, Teacher Dongfang. Let me put these things down." Xiaonan hopped and jumped to the side, and with a rustling sound, she dumped the snacks from her arms onto the table.

  Taking advantage of this opportunity, I leaned in close to Dongfang Xue, lowered my voice to a line and directly sent it into her ear, asking: "Is this what you just said, let me take another look?"

  When I first saw Xiaonan, my heart skipped a beat, but it wasn't because of her beauty: although Xiaonan was pretty, she was still an immature young girl and couldn't compare to Xueer's beauty. Moreover, I'm not the kind of person who would be shocked by good looks anyway.

  It was because of seeing a small black spot on the center of Xiaonan's eyebrows, which is a sign that an evil spirit or ghost has possessed her.

  "Of course, I'm referring to this...” Dongfang Xuebai gave me a sideways glance and transmitted her voice directly into my ear using the same method: “She's a student in our class, so naturally I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. However, I didn't want to let her know that I have this ability, lest I invite trouble. Luckily you're here, so this matter is naturally handed over to you. You wouldn't just sit by and watch such a lively and lovely young girl perish like this, would you? Alright, I'll introduce you to them now. I don't have time for this anymore, I'm leaving first, and I'm handing this over to you!” After finishing speaking, she patted my shoulder and made a sly smile that seemed triumphant, but looked adorable in the eyes of others.

  "Hey......hey......" I hadn't even had time to speak, when Dongfang Xue quickly opened the classroom door and ran out. Alas, I could only hang my head in despair, resigned to this miserable fate.

  "Are you Long Ao Tian?"

  I lifted my head and saw Xiaonan standing in front of me, extending her right hand, smiling at me.

  Xiao Nan didn't wait for me to speak and continued: "I am the class monitor Wang Nan of this class, welcome to our class."

  "Thank you!" I also stretched out my right hand, tightly grasping the right hand that Xiao Nan had extended, making up my mind that in response to her warm welcome, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

  As I entered the university for the first time, I finally perfectly took the first step of integrating into the university.

  I have been at Longteng College for more than a week and I am also familiar with my classmates.

  My natural talent is now no longer as it was when I first arrived, occasionally making jokes. During this time, I also asked Qinglong, and Qinglong told me that Xueer and others were introducing special training to the vice principal, telling me not to worry. Although I miss Xueer very much, for the sake of the overall situation, I didn't say anything more.

  For more than a week, I have been trying to convince Xiaonan that she was possessed by a monster or a demon, but unfortunately, Xiaonan is a typical person living in a scientific society and does not believe that the world has ghosts and monsters. As a result, after busying myself for more than a week, I still failed to persuade her to cooperate with me.

  But I didn't give up, thinking of the consequences of dragging it out, and had to follow Xiao Nan every day, constantly indoctrinating her with things about monsters and cultivators, but the latter obviously took it as a fantasy story.

  And I certainly wouldn't know that this action of mine would shatter the hearts of countless young boys and girls in the class.

  Xiao Nan is lively and lovely, with a beautiful appearance, always the class belle in the hearts of the male students; as for me, I'm also considered a handsome guy, long-term cultivation of the Wu Wei Heart Method has given me an ethereal and mysterious aura, which is simply devastating to those flower-like girls who have just left their parents' care and are used to romantic words.

  And now I follow Xiao Nan every day, knowing the truth like Dongfang Xue won't have any other ideas, as for those classmates who don't know anything, they all think I'm pursuing Xiao Nan.

  They felt that their own strength was inferior to mine and Xiaonan's, so they could only retreat to the side and secretly feel sad. Some extremists even bought straw men and bronze nails to curse us. Of course, it's not clear whether this is really effective, but even if it were, with my heavenly immortal cultivation, it would be like a mosquito biting an elephant - completely ineffective.

  "Xiao Nan, listen to me, she's really been possessed by a demon. If we don't treat her soon, her yang energy will be slowly sucked away, and she'll gradually become weak. Then she'll be bedridden and unable to get up, with only death waiting for her on the bed."

  "I wouldn't believe you anyway, these things don't even exist." Xiaonan glared at me with a bad attitude and continued: "Ao Tian classmate, you really are boring. You spend all day not studying seriously, always thinking about non-existent things, and now you've even set your sights on me."

  She glared at me fiercely, and the beautiful class leader Xiaonan turned around and left with a huff. I guess it's still because of my usual likable nature that she didn't do anything more, otherwise, being bothered like this for a whole week would have earned me a slap from her temperamental self.

  I helplessly shrugged my shoulders and turned to leave the classroom. The same experience for a week made me realize that if I were to catch up with her now and try to persuade Xiaoxuan, my own outcome would probably not be good. I didn't want to add two bright red palm prints to my pale face. Nor did I want Xue'er to hear any rumors.

  University life is busy and wonderful, a day's time passes quickly in laughter. Now it's already midnight, and at this moment I'm walking alone on the road, planning to return to that villa I bought earlier. It's impossible for me to go to Xue Er's home now. Xue Er isn't even there, what am I going there for?

  I just attended a birthday party of a classmate, and the several hours of revelry have left even me, a seasoned practitioner of meditation, somewhat exhausted. Now I just want to hurry back to my villa and get some good rest.

  The midnight street was empty, with only the distant streetlights casting a faint yellow glow in all directions. The dim alleys seemed to be haunted by ghosts, and my footsteps echoed softly in the streets, gradually disappearing at the end of the alley.

  "Come out, you monster from the demon world! What are you doing here?" I stopped in my tracks at a street corner and said to a small alley beside me.

  The darkness in the alley fluctuated, as if a stone had been suddenly thrown into the calm water surface. The seemingly empty void could clearly see ripples rippling out in circles.

  A cluster of pitch-black substance suddenly stretched out from the center of the fluctuation, which was a cluster of black matter, like a cluster of green smoke, and also like a cluster of green thick fog.

  And I stood quietly, coldly staring at that green substance, secretly activating the Wu Wei Heart Method to reinforce the defensive shield against the evil energy.

  A green substance wriggled before me, gradually transforming into a woman-like figure, as if a woman suddenly appeared in front of me, completely wrapped in a green cloak, with even her eyes not visible.

  "Unexpectedly, in this mortal world, I can still see a cultivator with such power." The surface of the green substance rippled with a wave of astonishment, as if she had seen something unbelievable. Her voice was like several hundred iron blocks scraping against each other, making people frown and cover their ears. Apparently, she also took me for a cultivator.

  But even I couldn't stand the unpleasant sound, furrowed my brow, and casually added a noise-cancelling shield for myself before asking: "What's going on in the demon realm? Why have even people from the demon realm come to the mortal realm?"

  It makes sense for me to ask this, I once heard the great goddess Nüwa say that since she and the great god Pangu jointly created the demon world, people from the demon world are generally not allowed to come to the mortal world. The mortal world has not had much contact with the demon world before, so why did someone from the demon world appear here this time?

  The green, humanoid substance wriggled again and said in a harsh voice: "It's clear that your cultivation has reached the Heavenly Immortal level. Since you're someone who has escaped the cycle of reincarnation, I won't hide it from you. A demon from the Demon Realm took advantage of our carelessness and ran to the mortal world. I was sent to capture it and bring it back."

  I raised an eyebrow, surprised and asked: "Isn't the passage between the demon realm and the mortal realm guarded by demon soldiers? How could he still escape, is this demon so powerful that it can defeat the demon soldiers?"

  Perhaps it was because I asked him to a sore spot, the green substance's voice seemed to have a hint of shyness: "It was our main computer that malfunctioned, and the ID card of that monster had been marked with an exit permit, so the demon soldiers guarding the passage let him through."
