These scumbags shouldn't ruin my luck.
"Alright, but you'd better take good care of Xiao Xi. You know, everyone in the school likes her. If anything happens to her, not only will I not forgive you, but I won't forgive anyone else either." Bai Susu giggled.
"Teacher Bai, I can take care of myself." Ji Xiaoxi blushed; she didn't want to cause trouble for Zu An.
"Xiao Xi is so considerate. Here, take this. If you encounter any danger, turn it on, and if I see you nearby, I'll come to your rescue." Bai Susu said as she handed Ji Xiaoxi something that looked like a signal flare.
"Thank you, Teacher Bai." This time, Ji Xiaoxi didn't refuse.
After Bai Susu left, many other people came to persuade Ji Xiaoxi, and many of them brought medicine, hidden weapons, and self-defense items.
Seeing this, Zuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Xi, I didn't expect you to be so popular at school. You're practically the school's darling!"
"Ugh~ You're calling me a pet?" Ji Xiaoxi pouted, clearly somewhat displeased.
"This is a compliment to your cuteness." Looking at her huffing and puffing, Zu'an found her exceptionally adorable and subconsciously wanted to pat her head. However, remembering the terrible state of his hand last time, which was swollen like a steamed bun, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
That guy Ji Dengtu, he's so lustful that he thinks all other men are so despicable, but he really protects his daughter from every angle.
Hearing his explanation, Ji Xiaoxi's worry turned to joy: "Well, I don't need that much either, so I'll share some with you."
As he spoke, he stuffed some of the medicine bottles, hidden weapons, and other items that others had just given him into Zu'an's hands.
Zuan immediately received a large number of anger points. He turned around and saw many male students glaring at him angrily.
He had initially intended to decline, but upon seeing this, he immediately accepted the items: "Haha, thank you, Xiao Xi."
The backend received even more anger points.
Zuan shook his head. As a teacher, he was just giving you a lesson, letting you know that "being a simp has no future."
"Ahem, Brother Zu is indeed the center of attention wherever he goes." Xie Xiu walked over with a smile, feeling extremely impressed. Given this guy's ability to attract ridicule, how has he managed to survive until now?
"Please call me Teacher Zu." Zu An cleared his throat and straightened his back.
Xie Xiu: "..."
This guy doesn't play by the rules, how am I supposed to respond?
However, Zu'an immediately added, "But considering our friendship, let's not stand on ceremony. From now on, just call me Zu."
“Uh, okay, Azu,” Xie Xiu almost forgot his purpose because of him. “The secret realm only opens once every few decades. Even if something really happens, people outside will not be able to find any clues. So it has always been a good place for murder and robbery. You have to be careful these ten days.”
"Haha, you're a good friend, I'm definitely making you one," Zuan said, changing the subject. "By the way, was that beautiful woman next to you at the last clan competition your sister? Why didn't she come into the secret realm this time? When are you going to introduce me to her?"
Xie Xiu was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself, "Do you want to be friends with me because I have a kind heart, or because I have a beautiful older sister?"
"My sister isn't interested in these secret realms..." Xie Xiu chuckled, made a few perfunctory remarks, and then fled in a panic. It seems that dealing with men is indeed not as easy as dealing with women.
Once only the two of them were left, Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but mutter, "Azu, you're so mean."
Zuan was taken aback: "What's wrong with me?"
“You…you…” Ji Xiaoxi glanced at Zu An’s lower abdomen, her eyes darting away, “yet you still like beautiful women so much.”
“What do kids know? I’m just being prepared. Once I’m cured in this secret realm, I can seamlessly transition,” Zuan replied. “Only mediocre people take things one step at a time. A wise man like me would definitely plan everything in advance.”
Ji Xiaoxi blinked. She couldn't see anything else, but she admired his optimism, since finding the Vanishing Lotus was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Of course, she was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to say anything that would discourage him.
"Which way do we go next?"
"Let's head west, all the way west!"
...
The two walked westward for a short while and were chatting happily when Zu An suddenly heard a sharp gust of wind coming from the side. He quickly pulled Ji Xiaoxi aside and, at the same time, lightly touched the ground with his toes and left the spot.
Only then did the two realize that there were several long, yellowish-brown thorns left where they had just stood. If they had been pierced, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
"What's going on?"
Zuan noticed a huge rat baring its teeth at them not far away. It did look like a rat, but it was way too damn big!
It looks like a warthog!
However, his attention was drawn to the tingling and itching in his hands, and he said with a frustrated expression, "Xiao Xi, the antidote~"

Thanks to the new alliance leader, Three-Colored Forest. I really want to say something like "add more chapters" right now, but I also want to be high-profile. Unfortunately, my strength doesn't allow it.
I'll owe you for now, and I'll add more chapters once I've saved up enough...
