Zhao Keying: Did you help me change my clothes last night, and... wipe my body down?

He Xie lay on the bed, looking at the message Zhao Keying had suddenly sent on WeChat, and felt a slight ache in his groin.

Have you changed your clothes?

It's been changed.

Did you wipe yourself down?

I wiped it off.

However, he didn't think too much about it at the time. He just felt that Zhao Keying must have been very dirty after spending a whole day in the pharmacology room. It was really too sloppy for her to lie in bed and sleep without taking a shower.

So, he took it upon himself to change Zhao Keying into a set of pajamas and, to be a good Samaritan, wiped her body down.

Looking back now, the idea that men and women should not touch each other is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Zhao Keying isn't Lin Chuchu; these actions are a bit too intimate.

"Shake~" x2.

Seeing that He Xie had not responded for a long time, Zhao Keying quickly sent two more messages.

Zhao Keying: Speak!

Zhao Keying: You must have seen my message!

He Xie thought for a moment and replied: Actually, it's nothing. I just saw that you spent the whole day in the pharmacology room and then went straight to bed without taking a shower. I thought it was a bit sloppy, so I couldn't help but change you into a set of pajamas and clean you up.

He Xie: No need to thank me, it's nothing.

He Xie: After all, we're like family. We grew up sleeping in the same bed, so there's no need to be polite.

Yeah, Brother Xie is cunning.

He preemptively sent these words to Zhao Keying, preventing her from making things difficult for him.

If she makes a move, it means she has impure intentions.

We've won so much!

After sending those messages, Zhao Keying remained silent for several minutes.

He Xie waited for a while, then grew a little anxious.

In the end, he had no choice but to take the initiative and provide Zhao Keying with an additional explanation.

He Xie: Oh right, I forgot to mention, I turned off the lights and closed my eyes last night before changing your clothes, and when I wiped your body, I used telekinesis to hold the towel and wiped you down, without any physical contact whatsoever.

Zhao Keying: Really?

He Xie: Really, I'm not lying to you.

Zhao Keying: Hehe.

The chat was brief and ended here.

Did you close your eyes and turn off the lights?

Was the entire process conducted remotely with zero physical contact?

Not to mention Zhao Keying, even He Xie himself wouldn't believe it if he heard it.

But what can we do?

Since we've already done it, we might as well all pretend nothing happened.

"The fault lies not with me, but with the old lecherous power sealed within me. I am innocent."

He Xie got the benefit but acted innocent, forcibly shifting all the blame onto his "manly nature," which can be said to be a complete victory.

......

In the kitchen.

Looking at the chat history between Zhao Keying and He Xie in the WeChat chat box, she felt a surge of resentment.

Having lived under the same roof for so many years, she knew He Xie's personality very well.

After all, she had secretly read He Xie's diary hidden under the mattress quite a few times over the years.

The content is utterly offensive!

He's a complete pervert!

They even closed their eyes and turned off the lights, with zero physical contact throughout the entire process?

Who are you kidding!

However, since He Xie wouldn't admit it, there was nothing she could do.

Because it was too embarrassing, she couldn't bring herself to confront him directly.

"Sister Keying?"

Seeing Zhao Keying leaning against the wall, staring at her phone with an itchy expression, Lin Chuchu couldn't help but ask her a question with some confusion.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Keying quickly put away her phone, looking somewhat guilty, and said, "Ahem, it's nothing, I was just checking the class group messages."

After saying that, she put her phone in her pocket and walked to the cutting board to continue cutting cucumbers.

As she chopped the cucumber, she smiled gently like a kind older sister and asked, "Chuchu, do you prefer stir-fried cucumber or cucumber salad?"

Lin Chuchu: "Which one does He Xie like to eat?"

Zhao Keying: "Cucumber salad."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuchu smiled sweetly and said, "Then I also like to eat cold cucumber salad."

"Oh my, you've already started catering to your boyfriend's tastes so quickly?" Zhao Keying was envious, but could only smile and tease him, "He Xie is truly blessed to be with you."

Lin Chuchu was quite embarrassed by the praise, and waved her hand with a smile, saying, "No, no, He Xie is so outstanding, it's my blessing to be with him."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she asked curiously, "By the way, Keying, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend right now?"

Zhao Keying: "No."

Lin Chuchu: "Sister Keying, you're so pretty, you must have a lot of guys chasing after you. Why don't you date one?"

Zhao Keying gave a helpless bitter smile: "I'm too busy, I don't have time to talk."

Lin Chuchu nodded in belief.

Then, very quickly, she asked again with the curiosity of a child, "So, Sister Keying, do you have someone you like right now?"

Zhao Keying was stumped by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Do you have someone you like?

Yes, but it also seems like it doesn't.

When the word "like" is mentioned, the first image that comes to mind is He Xie.

But she didn't know, or rather, couldn't quite distinguish, whether her feelings for He Xie were romantic love or familial affection.

Perhaps... both?

Seeing that Zhao Keying was a little stunned, Lin Chuchu immediately smiled like an aunt and asked, "Sister Keying, who is the person you like?"

Lin Chuchu was curious about who had such charm that she would lose herself in thought whenever someone she liked was mentioned, and who could make Zhao Keying, who was also a campus goddess, react this way.

Who is the person I like?

Zhao Keying could only smile wryly at this question and chose not to answer it.

Because she didn't want to lie to Lin Chuchu, and even more so, she didn't want to lie to herself.

......

Inside the room.

After ending his chat with Zhao Keying, He Xie browsed the tasks on the school's official website.

......

Task: The number of demonic plants in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is out of control and needs to be cleared.

Difficulty: C

Details: Available after accepting the mission.

Reward: 300 credits

Recommendation: Only those with a biological level of mutation or higher can accept this.

......

Task: A large number of wild animals are roaming the Honglin area on the eastern outskirts of Boluo County, and their numbers are extremely high. They urgently need to be cleared.

Difficulty: d

Reward: 100 credits

Recommendation: Only those with a high-level or higher creature rank can accept this task.

......

Mission: A giant sea monster is hunting fishermen in Qingshui Village, Nancheng Bay.

Difficulty: a

Rewards: 800 points, exotic flowers and fruits, miraculous elixirs, and limbs of ancient alien races.

Recommendation: Only accept missions with a creature level of rare or higher.

......

He Xie looked at more than twenty missions in a row. Most of them were level D, a few were level C, there were no level B missions, but there was one level A mission.

The highest-ranking A-level mission is recommended for students with a biological level that is in the rare category.

In that case, He Xie can accept all twenty-odd tasks.

And that's exactly what he did next.

He accepted all the tasks listed on the official website without missing a single one.

[Friendly reminder: Accepting school-level tasks requires a 10% deposit of points. Points will be forfeited if the task is not completed within the time limit; conversely, points will be fully refunded upon completion.]

[Do you wish to continue accepting the mission?]

He Xie didn't hesitate and clicked "Yes" directly.

The next second, he accepted all the tasks for the day on the official website, and they instantly disappeared from the website and were displayed on his students' personal information page.

At the same time, his 500 credits were depleted, leaving him with only 20 credits.

"Hmm, multiplayer missions?"

He Xie was checking his upcoming tasks on his phone, trying to figure out how to plan his time, when he noticed that the A-level task was a multiplayer task.

It turns out that there were other people besides him who had taken on this task.

There were four people in total, and he was the last one.

"Are they all returning students from the all-around class?"

He Xie opened the teammates list and glanced at the basic student information of the three teammates.

Zheng Haibei, All-Round Class, Postgraduate.

Gu Wanyan, All-Round Class, Postgraduate.

Zhang Ruohe, All-Round Class, Postgraduate.

"Tsk tsk, they're all tough guys."

Looking at the basic information of these three teammates, He Xie couldn't help but sigh.

He was already looking forward to going on missions with these three teammates, wanting to see what the graduate students at the Mountain and Sea Evolution University were like.

......

Outside the school, in a swamp in Shanhai City.

Two men and a woman were ganging up on a giant python with two horns on its head, fighting fiercely in the muddy water.

In terms of strength, the three of them combined are no match for the giant python.

However, the three of them had the advantage of excellent teamwork, which made up for this lack of strength.

"Get out of the way! My poison mist is ready!"

Suddenly, the girl with a single ponytail shouted at the two boys who were fighting the giant python at close range.

Upon hearing this, the two boys immediately became enraged and quickly retreated, keeping their distance from the giant python.

The giant python tried to catch up but couldn't, and became so angry that it slapped the muddy water around it in a fit of rage.

Then he shifted his target and suddenly attacked the girl who was standing still in front of him.

The girl wasn't flustered at all, because this was exactly the moment she had been waiting for.

When the giant python charged to within five meters of her, she opened her mouth and took a deep breath, puffing out her cheeks like a toad.

"uproar--"

The giant python leaped out of the water, its massive body sweeping violently towards the girl.

The girl seized the opportunity and sprayed out the poisonous mist she was holding in her mouth.

These poisonous mists seemed to possess sentience; as soon as they were released, they immediately enveloped the entire body of the giant python.

The next second, a loud "whoosh" sounded.

The giant python, which had just emerged from the water, suddenly tumbled back down, splashing a large amount of water.

Seeing that the giant python was temporarily paralyzed, the girl immediately drew her long sword from her waist and plunged it into the snake's head.

Seeing this, the other two boys quickly came over to finish them off.

Targeting vital points, each move is fatal.

Before long, the giant python was beaten to death in the swamp, then torn apart by five horses and put into a dimensional bag.

"Phew~"

A boy with a buzz cut let out a deep breath, then smiled broadly and said, "This haul is pretty good; we should be able to make a good amount of money."

The boy next to him with the middle-part hairstyle also laughed and said, "Yeah, we'll be going to the battlefield of ten thousand races at the beginning of next year. We need to earn more money to buy exotic flowers and fruits or transplant ancient alien races to improve our strength. I don't want to become cannon fodder as soon as I go up there."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl across from him, who was covered in mud, and asked with a smile, "Wanyan, what are you planning to do with this money?"

"I'll save it for now. I plan to transplant the Phoenix True Blood at the end of the year," Gu Wanyan replied casually while scrolling through her phone.

Hearing Gu Wanyan say this, Zheng Haibei, the boy with the buzz cut, was immediately filled with envy.

Tsk tsk, no wonder he's a super second-generation rich kid from Kyoto, he's really rich and powerful.

It should be noted that Phoenix True Blood is even rarer than Qilin Blood, making it a priceless treasure.

Those that can be obtained are all from powerful and influential families.

"Huh? What the heck?"

Suddenly, Gu Wanyan looked at her phone with a surprised expression and asked in confusion.

Zhang Ruohe, who had his hair parted in the middle, asked, "Wanyan, what's wrong?"

Gu Wanyan frowned and said, "Someone has joined the A-level mission we took on a few days ago."

Zhang Ruohe: "Isn't this a good thing? We've been waiting for this last teammate for ages!"

Gu Wanyan: "You guys should take a look at the student information of this newly added teammate."

Upon hearing this, the two boys immediately took out their phones to check.

Then, very quickly, both of them exclaimed in surprise.

Zheng Haibei: "Holy crap! Am I seeing things? Or is there a system error? A newbie has been added to this A-level mission?"

Zhang Ruohe: "What's going on? This broken mission system has been running for so many years, how come it still hasn't fixed all the bugs?"

"Uh...it doesn't seem to be a system bug." Gu Wanyan put her phone in front of the two of them and said incredulously, "This junior brother named He Xie has added me as a friend on WeChat."

Upon hearing this, the two boys quickly opened WeChat to take a look.

Wow, they added me on WeChat too!

What does this tell us?

This shows that the freshman really did take on this task himself!

It's not a system error!

......

Inside the room.

After sending friend requests to his three teammates, He Xie put his phone into his system inventory and prepared to go out and complete the tasks nearby, starting with those tasks that were close by.

I left the room and went outside to the kitchen.

He Xie leaned against the door, looking at Lin Chuchu and Zhao Keying inside, and asked, "How much longer until the food is ready? I need to go out for a bit."

"It's ready. Go get a bowl and you can eat."

Zhao Keying spoke with her back to him, her pretty face slightly flushed. She was a little hesitant to face He Xie because she felt embarrassed.

Lin Chuchu took off her apron, washed her hands in the sink, and then stopped in front of He Xie, asking with some confusion, "Aren't you supposed to be taking classes with the Beast Taming Academy this afternoon? Where are you going later?"

"Do tasks to earn credits."

He Xie pointed the task information bar on his phone towards Lin Chuchu, showing it to her.

Upon seeing the task information on her phone, Lin Chuchu's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "My God, you've taken on so many tasks at once, can you handle it?"

He Xie teased her, "I could handle what you did last night, so a mere task is nothing to me, right?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Chuchu angrily slapped He Xie. Just thinking about what she had done on He Xie's bed last night made her extremely ashamed, and her pretty face looked like a ripe apple.

Zhao Keying, who was inside, couldn't stand it anymore. She picked up two plates of food, turned around, and came out. As she passed in front of He Xie, she said to him, "Hurry up and get your bowls to serve the rice. Stop standing there dawdling."

"Sheng, Sheng, let's go to Sheng now!"

He Xie smiled broadly and immediately went to get a bowl to serve rice.

Half an hour later.

The three of them sat on the sofa chatting after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Lin Chuchu lingered around Zhao Keying, treating her like her best friend, and kept trying to strike up a conversation with her.

Zhao Keying's hobbies differed somewhat from hers, and she wasn't particularly interested in her topics.

But out of politeness and respect, I still chatted with her with a smile.

As they chatted, Lin Chuchu suddenly looked at her boyfriend beside her, blinked her pretty eyes, and asked, "He Xie, I'd like to stay in the apartment for the next few days and sleep with Keying. What do you think?"

He Xie: "I don't have any problems, but your sister Keying doesn't live here every day, so you should ask her for her opinion."

After hearing this, Lin Chuchu turned to Zhao Keying beside her and asked obediently like a younger sister, "Keying, would you like to stay in the apartment and sleep with me for the next few days?"

As the future Mrs. He, she wanted to build good relationships with He Xie's family in advance.

That way, when she gets married and moves in, she won't need to spend time adapting and can seamlessly integrate into her new family.

Zhao Keying felt somewhat embarrassed.

But Lin Chuchu's expectant expression was too irresistible to her, and besides, she was never one to refuse anyone, so she had no choice but to agree: "Since your boyfriend has agreed, I can only agree too."

"Sister Keying is the best!"

Lin Chuchu happily gave Zhao Keying a hug.

He Xie smiled as he watched, thinking that the two got along quite well, and hoped that Aunt Liu would get along the same way.

After sitting for a while...

He Xie quickly got up and left the apartment to go out and complete his mission.

As he walked, he looked at the task information on his phone, considering which task to complete first.

"Huh? Did I accept this mission?"

As he looked around, he suddenly came across a very unfamiliar task and felt a little confused.

Task: There are too many mutated demonic plants in the Demonic Plant Forest. Please clear the forest, ensuring that there is at most one mutated demonic plant within a five-mile radius.

Note: Except for the prohibition of hunting demonic plants below the mutated level.

Difficulty: C

Details: Available after accepting the mission.

Reward: 300 credits

Recommendation: Only those with a biological level of mutation or higher can accept this.

He Xie looked at the task and tried to recall it.

Hmm, I have no recollection of it.

He found this very strange.

Didn't I hunt down almost all the mutated demonic plants in the Demon Plant Forest during the freshman entrance exam a few days ago?

How come there are so many mutated demonic plants inside?

Are you sure you didn't overdo it?

Forget it, why bother agonizing over it?

Just go for it!

After thinking it over, He Xie put away his phone and headed straight for the Demon Plant Forest.

......

Mountain and Sea Evolution University.

Inside a dean's office.

A middle-aged man is talking on his phone with a woman who has a sexy voice.

The man said, "The task has been added to He Xie's task list. The surveillance shows that he is heading towards the Demon Plant Forest. You can handle the rest yourself."

Woman: "Dean Liu, your tone is very distant. I don't like it."

Man: "I'm hanging up."

The call was disconnected as soon as I finished speaking, and I could hear a series of "dududu" sounds coming from the other end.

The man put down his phone, clenched his fists, and said with a grim expression, "You bitch, I'll make you wish you were dead sooner or later!"

......

P.S.: I'm setting up the bowls, please vote with monthly tickets and recommendations!
