Chapter 142
"This person is so cruel," Rong Rong muttered to herself. "Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I would have been caught."
She didn't want to be exposed and captured before she had absorbed enough of the male lead's yang energy.
Although she had completed her first mission after last night's events, she didn't intend to stop yet. She needed to gain the ability to maintain a physical form for an extended period before leaving.
Just suck up to the male lead more often; it's a great tonic, so why not take advantage of it?
As long as it doesn't endanger her life or affect the male lead's luck, it shouldn't matter if she takes a few more breaths!
Rong Rong convinced herself and even gave Lu Yichen a small apology.
Yan Chuyao nearly overturned the entire room, and the damage extended to the entire third floor and even the entire villa, but he couldn't find a single person.
This made him start to wonder if he was hallucinating.
He decided to wait until Lu Yichen returned before getting to the bottom of things.
On the other side, Lu Yichen sat in the classroom and, for the first time ever, began to daydream.
He was unaware that the professor on the stage had glanced at him several times, and that, in addition to the few girls who usually stole glances at him, many boys in the class also looked at him from time to time.
Meanwhile, people were also sending messages privately, discussing his unusual behavior.
[Could the campus heartthrob of Lu University have really encountered a ghost? He looks so distracted.]
How terrifying! Do ghosts really exist in this world?
The story of Yan Chuyao and Lu Yichen's dormitory encountering a ghost during their nighttime exploration of the Nanfu residence is known throughout the entire school, and it's even been widely circulated online.
Students at Ocean University have discussed this countless times, and their enthusiasm for it remains undiminished.
The people of Huaguo are inherently curious and love to join in the fun. Everyone wants to know if the story of Nanfu is true or false, and what the ghost looks like.
They were even more curious to know if Lu Yichen and the others would be affected in any way.
[Just kidding, I don't think the school heartthrob is seeing ghosts; he seems more like he's smitten and thinking about women!]
[How could that be? Everyone knows that Lu University's campus heartthrob is as hard as iron! The most beautiful girls from our school and the neighboring school have been chasing him for four years! Lu University's campus heartthrob hasn't even given them a second glance. He's having a crush? I'd rather the sun rise in the west!]
Trust me! Absolutely!
Soon, the conversation veered off-topic, shifting from Lu Yichen's ghost encounter to who Lu Yichen might have fallen for.
[Guess why he's wearing a stand-up collar shirt in this heat? There's no event, and it's not his usual style.]
[Didn't you guys notice his expression was off? It was like, it was like...]
The man didn't say what it was, but someone else immediately said it for him.
[Like I've been out all night, completely drained!]
Hiss! This immediately brought the students who were still diving to the surface to the surface.
Don't say it! The more you talk about it, the more it seems true!
What should I do? I can't go back!
Who on earth is so amazing? They've got our school heartthrob completely smitten!
[This humble woman is utterly defeated! Everyone, please investigate quickly! I want to see which goddess it is!]
The last sentence was posted by the class beauty, who is also the beauty of their department.
She used to chase after Lu Yichen a lot, but it was only in the last year that she suddenly realized her mistake and gave up on this unattainable beauty.
But despite giving up, the class beauty still felt regretful and resentful, and was especially eager to know who could win over the school heartthrob.
Now that the campus heartthrob has a girlfriend, shouldn't she be paying close attention to her?
Soon, gossip about Lu Da's campus heartthrob allegedly having a girlfriend appeared on the campus forum, along with photos of him looking weak and depleted.
Lu Yichen never visits the campus forum, so he had no idea that he had become famous online again. As soon as his classes ended today, he hurriedly left the campus.
This was unprecedented. The academic superstar and school heartthrob, whose mind was always focused on studying and who would spend all his time in the library after class, was the first to rush out of the classroom that day, which seemed to further confirm the rumors that he had fallen in love.
Lu Yichen went to get his hair done and buy clothes.
This morning he suddenly lost confidence in his appearance. He hadn't changed his hairstyle in over a decade, and it was time to get it fixed.
Lu Yichen went to the shop his mother frequented and even hired his mother's personal top stylist to do his hair.
Unbeknownst to him, his mother received a message from him just minutes after he arrived at the store, informing her that he had come to get his hair styled.
Has her son suddenly become enlightened? Mother Lu ran outside to look at the sun, and sure enough, the sun was in the east!
Although Lu's mother was extremely anxious to know what was going on with her son, she held back. She always adhered to the principle of not easily interfering in her son's life, except for the matter of the amulet.
Thinking of this, Lu's mother suddenly slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten that the amulet needed to be replaced?
This matter couldn't be delayed, so Lu's mother called Lu Yichen without saying a word.
Thus, a heavy blow sent Lu Yichen, who had been happy all morning, back to hell in an instant.
"Mom, what did you say? I have a pure Yin constitution, a great tonic in the eyes of ghosts and monsters?" Lu Yichen almost broke his voice.
He followed his mother's instructions and hid in a corner to answer the phone. He guessed that what his mother was talking about was not simple, but he did not expect it to be so complicated, as it was related to ghosts and gods!
In the past, his first reaction would have been to question, but now his first reaction is to feel uncomfortable.
So, the goddess approached him not because she was interested in him, but simply because he was a powerful tonic that could improve one's cultivation.
In an instant, Lu Yichen's cool and stylish hair fell flat, and he went from looking like a peacock to being soaked to the bone.
"That's right. You were little before, so Mom didn't tell you. Now that you're an adult, it's time for you to know the truth." Lu's mother's earnest words came through the phone.
"Be careful not to provoke any evil spirits. Also, the old amulet is no longer effective, so Mom had a master make you a new one. I'll send it over to you in a bit."
After that, Lu's mother went on and on, but Lu Yichen didn't listen to a word she said. He felt like he was in a dead end, and his heart was aching terribly.
So this is what it feels like for those who confessed their feelings to him and were ignored?
Lu Yichen's schedule remained unchanged afterward; he still bought the clothes he was supposed to buy, but his initial excitement had vanished.
A new amulet was delivered to him, but he immediately threw it into the trash can.
It wasn't until evening, after Lu Yichen returned to the villa and parked his car, that he finally came to his senses.
Treat him like a magic pill, who cares why the goddess sought him out? The important thing is just to find him!
It's better than going to Yan Chuyao, isn't it?
"Heh." Lu Yichen chuckled. "The pathetic wretch is still Yan Chuyao!"
Lu Yichen transformed into a proud peacock once again. He stood up, looked in the rearview mirror, and only after confirming that he looked handsome did he open the door and get out of the car.
