After sensing that the person behind her had stopped poking her, Ling Yunxi continued listening to the lecture.

...

"Clang clang clang... clang clang clang..."

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson," the beast master said from the stage.

After the class ended, Ling Yunxi got up and scanned the Beast Academy, but did not find Xuan Yize.

The school was mostly filled with males, many of whom were much taller than her. After she could no longer see anyone else, Ling Yunxi went up to the stage to check again.

"Where did he go?" Ling Yunxi murmured as she looked around.

At this moment, Mo Yanche, who was sitting at the back, came out. Thinking she was looking for him, a hint of disdain flashed in his silver eyes, and he quickly left.

"Warning: Mo Yanche's dislike value has increased by 1, and his current total favorability value is -98."

Ling Yunxi was completely bewildered; she hadn't done anything to him, had she?

Just then, Xiao Yeyu passed by her seat, and she immediately called out to him, "Xiao Yeyu."

Xiao Yeyu glanced at her but ignored her and continued walking.

Ling Yunxi caught up with him, "Do you know where Xuan Yize is? Didn't he come to class this afternoon?"

"How should I know?" Xiao Yeyu said coldly, and quickened his pace to leave.

After leaving the school, he reverted to his original form.

"Don't all the males share the same dorm room?"

Watching his departing figure spread his wings and fly into the sky, Ling Yunxi slapped her forehead, "He really isn't."

After Ling Yunxi walked out the door, she looked at the time and realized it was around three or four in the afternoon.

The sun hasn't set yet, so it's not too late.

The classes at the Beast Academy aren't very long, both in the morning and afternoon.

She planned to go out and look for herbs to treat scars while it was still early.

My memories of this beast world are not comprehensive; I only remember that there are many kinds of plants in the wolf clan's back mountain.

I'm planning to go there and take a look.

There are many herbs that can treat scars; see which one you can find.

Ling Yunxi hadn't gone far when she started sweating.

As she stepped into the woods behind the mountain, a cool sensation instantly washed over her from under several tall trees.

In an instant, she felt much more comfortable.

Next, we prepared to search for herbs.

She hadn't walked far when she saw round-leaved grass under the shade of a tree. She squatted down and picked them. "Great, these are the ones."

"It can heal scars, and it can also be eaten as a wild vegetable or used to make tea, making it especially suitable for this kind of weather."

After finishing picking, seeing that it was still early, she walked further in to see what else could be picked.

"Host, you need to step up your game!"

The system's voice rang in her mind, almost startling Ling Yunxi in the quiet forest.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she picked wild vegetables.

"Xuan Yize's wedding is set for 5 days from now. If it doesn't happen, the main storyline quests related to him may all be affected."

Ling Yunxi frowned upon hearing the system's words.

Five days later...

It just so happens to be a holiday.

Coincidentally, the Beast Academy also takes a break every five days, but each break is usually for three days.

No wonder it was set for five days later, giving him just one day to get back, get married the next day, and then come back to study the third day.

After seeing some herbs for treating sprains and bruises not far away, she picked a few handfuls and put them all into a leather bag.

Those who couldn't let go found grass and wove it into ropes to tie them up.

He carried a bulging animal skin bag in one hand and a bundle of herbs in the other as he went back.

When I get tired of carrying it, I put it on my shoulder.

They have absolutely no image to speak of.

She couldn't care less about all that; after all, she didn't have much of an image in this beast world anyway.

Just as she was about to set off, she suddenly heard a "hissing" sound nearby.

Ling Yunxi frowned. Based on her years of experience in the wild, this was most likely...

She took a deep breath and turned around gently.

It really was a snake!

And it was very big, so big that she had to look up to see what it looked like.

It was backlit, making it difficult for her to see clearly.

“Sen… Sen,” she stammered, “a python?”

Then slowly back away.

Upon hearing her words, a hint of doubt flashed in Qi Liyuan's golden eyes.

"No, no." Ling Yunxi stepped back a certain distance and, after seeing the patterns on his back, denied it.

"A python!" she exclaimed softly.

I prayed in my heart that it had eaten its fill.

A well-fed python not only moves more slowly, but also loses interest in everything.

But looking at the snake in front of me, its patterns seemed flat and its body did not appear bulging.

She backed away while secretly gripping the bag in her hand.

Then he turned around and ran away frantically without looking back.

"ah--!"

"Help!"

She ran while shouting hoarsely.

Her already obese body made running even more difficult.

He quickly became drenched in sweat, which streamed into his eyes and blurred his vision.

She blinked quickly and wiped her eyes hastily as she ran.

Watching Ling Yunxi flee in panic, Qi Liyuan transformed into human form.

The enormous snake body of a moment ago has now transformed into a handsome figure.

He frowned slightly, his fingertips stroking his chin.

That fat slut, doesn't she always try her best to get close to him when she sees him?

Just last night, I was supposed to go bathe in the river with him.

What's going on today?

Recalling his appearance just now, he snorted coldly.

It turns out she was afraid of him like this.

After descending the slope, Ling Yunxi quickly reached the bottom of the mountain from the back and returned to the area with many orcs.

Ling Yunxi stopped when she could no longer see the giant python behind her.

She was still in a panic, panting heavily, her face flushed, and sweat dripping onto the ground like raindrops.

The other orcs looked at her with disdain when they saw her like this.

"I wonder what they've been up to all day," one of the orcs said.

“Who knows, maybe she’s trying to please some male again,” another orc said.

“I just saw Qi Liyuan go in that direction, maybe I went to see him.”

"Judging from her expression, she probably made a fool of herself."

"..."

The two females whispered sarcastic remarks upon seeing Ling Yunxi's appearance.

Ling Yunxi listened to their conversation, and although she didn't understand it very well, she still heard the three familiar names of Qi Liyuan in her mind.

So that person was him?

Qi Liyuan?

By this time, she was so weak that she sat down on a rock to the side.

"The female master."

Ling Yunxi looked up and saw Xiao Mingyan walking quickly towards her.

Seeing Ling Yunxi's familiar appearance, Xiao Mingyan wasn't particularly surprised.

After all, she has always been like this.

He crouched down in front of her, looked up at her, and asked in a clear, gentle voice, "Where has the Mistress gone?"

"get out of class has ended. Mingyan waited for the female master to return, but she never came back. So he thought of going to the Beast Academy to find you, but the guard at the door said that you had already left the Beast Academy."

"I searched all the places the female master usually likes to go, but I still couldn't find her. Luckily, I met her here."
