Chapter 72 How dare the Samoyed provoke the Xia Tai Sui at that moment…
When the party started, Xia Die was a little late because she was preparing a gift for you.
"Besides bouquets of forget-me-nots, what other flowers might she like...?"
The purple-haired, elf-eared girl squatted precariously beside the flowerbed, trying to find the most suitable flower among the vibrant blooms that best complemented the color of her eyes.
“There’s no need to rush.” Polycia came to her side and said with a soft smile, “Whatever you give her, I believe she will like it.”
“…Cia!”
Xia Die quickly lowered her head, her face blushing even more brightly than the bouquet of flowers in her arms, almost as if it were steaming.
"Please, please don't say that..."
Polycia was delighted to see her usually quiet sister so shy, and her smile widened.
The flower shop windows were wide open, letting in the noise of the street and a fresh, moist breeze that made the flowers inside sway gently.
Xia Die had never felt so at ease. Her beloved family was beside her, soft petals were beneath her hands, and she was thinking of him, whom she was about to see. When her pale fingers touched these little lives, instead of the black aura she remembered or the immediate withering, they bloomed even more luxuriantly, affectionately nuzzling her fingertips.
Sophia's voice came from the doorway, "Okay, I'll deliver the ordered bouquet tomorrow...!"
The busy florist wiped his sweat, walked in, and gave them a big smile:
"Xia Die, Qian Ya, I remember you have a gathering today, right? Then hurry up and go. Don't worry about the shop, I'll take care of everything."
Xia Die was a little worried, "But Grandma..."
Sofia's smile deepened. She walked around behind them and pushed the two sisters, who always thought too much about others, out of the store.
"Don't worry! Grandma's health has been getting better and better lately, and she can recognize me now. It's all thanks to Dr. Feng Jin!" she said. "Please thank her for me."
Before Xia Die could react, she was pushed out of the door by her force, and the glass door slammed shut behind her with a "click".
She looked down at the beautifully wrapped bouquet of forget-me-nots in her arms, which also contained a few unknown, small golden flowers, and couldn't help but smile.
“Let’s go, sister.” Polycia took her arm. “Don’t keep everyone waiting.”

"Truth or Dare! Ah, I drew the 'enemy' card—you'll have to accept the punishment."
As if facing a formidable enemy, Wan Di couldn't help but swallow hard.
The royal banquet hall, though slightly noisy, was spacious and clean, and was now filled with people from different forces in the universe—former Golden Descendants, nameless guests, company representatives, and several invited geniuses, some reserved and some composed.
Right now, Wan Di is sitting with you all around the bathtub, playing a little game from outer space.
"Truth or Dare?" Tirispius asked with a smile, her red hair cascading over her shoulders.
"I choose... the dare."
When the wine glass was turned to him, Bai E across from him revealed a mischievous expression. Wan Di could tell at a glance that he had no good intentions, so he simply did not choose to tell the truth to avoid Bai E asking some strange questions that were difficult to answer.
The warrior on the edge never fears a challenge! Whether it's doing a one-handed push-up or anything else, he's ready—
“Alright,” Bai Er said naturally. “Then, Medmus, go to Teacher Kexia now and imitate his signature move—magic trick. Remember to do it with expression and perfect technique.”
Wan Di: ...
Despite all our precautions, we still couldn't escape this kid's trick.
Wan Di suddenly blurted out "HKS," Aglaia smiled, Tirispius raised an eyebrow as if watching a show, March 7 excitedly covered her mouth, pulling out her camera and clamoring to record this unparalleled sight, while you helplessly facepalmed.
Wan Di stiffly turned his head and saw that near the table not far away, Xia was talking to Dr. Zhenli. Both of them had deep thoughts on their faces, and from time to time they showed a sudden realization. It seemed that this was an intellectual battle.
Without a doubt, for Wan Di to make such a provocative move at this moment was practically suicide. Wan Di had no doubt that Teacher Xia's seemingly frail body could chase him down for blocks at that moment.
"Are we going to go this far?"
You muttered to yourself, then reached out to pinch Bai E, but he chuckled softly, revealing a gentle expression completely different from his previous wicked intentions. He then grabbed your wrist and squeezed his fingers between your palms.
He wanted to say something, but before he could fully enjoy the warmth of your palm, he was stared at by a burning gaze.
A chill ran down my spine.
You gave a puzzled "Hmm?", wondering what was wrong with him all of a sudden.
Bai E turned his head stiffly. Dan Heng was standing not far away, seemingly casually shaking the honey wine, but in reality, he was watching Bai E's restless hands closely.
The meaning behind that look was clear—it's one thing on a train, but in a public place, don't get handsy.
……All right.
March 7th next to you also noticed something and couldn't help but burst out laughing, her shoulders trembling.
Bai E deflated, and with a final, lingering touch, rubbed your finger with his fingertip, like a big dog that hadn't gotten its bone. His shoulders slumped slightly, he muttered a few dissatisfied words, and then released your hand.
You're being strange. "Are you afraid of Dan Heng?"
"...It's not that I'm afraid of him."
In terms of combat strength, Bai E really doesn't need to be afraid of anyone, but Dan Heng holds a very important place in your heart... a place that is important in a way that combines respect, trust and reliance, and he doesn't want to put you in a difficult position.
Moreover, Danheng was the most composed person on the train, apart from the two elders. Everyone would unconsciously listen to him. Although Bai'e had only been there for a few days, he had already deeply felt the terrifying aura emanating from him. Several times in the middle of the night, he would hug your waist and complain that you treated him like a robber.
...However, it is he who has you now, not Danheng.
Bai Er comforted himself: at least now you are in his arms, he can hold you and kiss you at will, tease you until you are breathless and begging for mercy, your beautiful eyes filled with tears—a posture that only he can see.
"...I choose to drink honey wine."
After struggling several times, Wan Di said stiffly.
“But Little Enemy has already used honey to avoid problems three times before,” Tirispius reminded her. “According to the rules, you can’t avoid it this time.”
Damn it. Bastard. HKS!
He glared at Bai E, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Bai E shrugged indifferently, completely unafraid of him.
Admittedly, this challenge was unacceptable to Wan Di, but betraying his promise and breaking the rules of the game violated his principles even more. He couldn't do something like going back on his word halfway through; what kind of warrior would he be, what kind of man would he be?
Wan Di remained silent for several seconds, going through a fierce internal struggle, before finally stiffly standing up and walking stiffly to Natsumi and Dr. Truth.
"……What's up?"
At that moment, Xia was discussing a philosophical question with Professor Ladio. Before this, he had never met anyone whose thinking was so in sync with his—although there were some minor differences in their views, those were insignificant; being able to keep up with his thoughts was already extremely rare and precious.
He looked up and saw the student from Xuanfeng, who had previously been known for his academic achievements in literature, history, and philosophy, standing in the same spot, approaching them with a strange expression.
Ladio also raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Wan Di's face before glancing at your gloating expression, a hint of understanding in his eyes.
"Demon, demon..."
At that moment, Xia Xin had a bad feeling.
“Wait—” he tried to stop him.
But it was too late.
Wan Di closed his eyes, as if an honest man had been forced to go all out.
He pressed one eye and spoke very quickly, "Teacher Xia, I'm so sorry about that... magic trick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
The water in the bathtub was still flowing, and the draft was still blowing, but everyone around had fallen completely silent, leaving only the rapid flashing of the camera lens on March 7th and her uncontrollable screams:
"Oh—oh oh oh! I said it!" March 7th wished he could transform into a war correspondent. "Wan Di is doomed now... Never mind, let's film this historic moment first!"
Xia's expression went blank for a moment.
"..."
Wan Di isn't usually this mischievous; this definitely wasn't his own idea. So who else could come up with this wicked scheme and be happy to see Wan Di get his comeuppance...?
At that moment, Xia's clever mind quickly came up with the answer.
Before Bai E could even gloat, he saw Xia Yin's sinister gaze pass over Wan Di and land directly on him.
“…Bai E.” The name of his former student rolled through his mouth, and a murderous aura gradually spread. “Was it you who suggested this?”
"...Huh? Hey, wait a minute, Professor Anaxagoras, let's talk this out, don't pull out your gun...!"

When Xia Die and Bolysia arrived, this was the chaotic scene they saw.
Feng Jin and Xi Lian were enjoying a peaceful time. The two girls, both with pink hair, were grooming Little Ika together, while the chubby little white horse flapped its wings and made a "dudu" sound of enjoyment.
Cerudela, Heather, and Sand Toppa were talking about some investment matters in Onphalos. Occasionally, Caesar and Sword Banner would glance at their companions in the arena, revealing smiles that were either helpless or gentle.
Several geniuses from the "Genius Club" circled around Onfaros's bookshelf, marveling at the knowledge and absorbing it with great eagerness.
And beside the bathtub—
Bai E was being chased all over the place by Na Ke Xia, his hands raised above his head, apologizing repeatedly:
"I promise I won't do that again, teacher—"
Poor Bai E, no one came forward to rescue him.
You knew in your heart that Xia was just trying to scare the naughty student, so you relaxed and stepped into the bath with your companions, leaning against the wall to chat, occasionally amused by the jokes about March 7th.
Chaos...and also joy.
Xia Die wasn't very good at handling this kind of situation. Almost instantly, she tightened her grip on the bouquet and became nervous.
Meanwhile, Polycia's hand remained on her arm, giving her strength.
"elder sister."
You turn your head and notice the two sisters.
Then he smiled and waved, "Come on, Xiaodie, Qianya! We've been waiting for you!"
