After class, the beastmen left one by one.
Since it was still early, Ling Yunxi planned to study a little longer before going back.
She guessed that the reason her seeds could bloom in just one morning was because her powers had improved after she soaked in the icy pool last time.
But the plant clearly looked malnourished.
Either your special ability isn't strong enough, or the runes you drew aren't up to standard.
Or, both.
It could also be due to artificial ripening, which violates the natural growth patterns of plants.
She wanted to continue exploring its mysteries...
As time went by, before we knew it, the setting sun shone in from outside.
Ling Yunxi stretched and prepared to pack her things to go back.
As she closed the door, a familiar voice suddenly appeared behind her.
"Ling Yunxi".
The male voice is deep and resonant.
Ling Yunxi paused in closing the door, her brow furrowing.
The sound was exactly the same as the morning I collected dew.
Ling Yunxi turned around awkwardly.
A male with silver-gray hair, deep-set eyes, and dressed in a restrained sacrificial robe came into view.
As the sun set, the crimson sunset cast its glow upon his silver hair, making him appear less gloomy than before.
Faced with the male who almost became her beast husband, Ling Yunxi currently only wants to treat him like a stranger.
"Is there...something wrong?"
Pu Shangji didn't answer her, but instead moved closer and asked, "You don't recognize runes?"
Ling Yunxi frowned: "I don't know them all yet, what's wrong?"
Pu Shangji's silver-gray eyes flashed, and he casually took her animal skin bag.
A calm, deep voice spoke: "Starting tomorrow, go to the Enlightenment School after school."
After turning around, she tilted her head slightly and said, "I'll teach you."
Ling Yunxi didn't expect him to come and say this to her.
She stepped forward, reached out to take back her animal skin bag, and refused, saying, "No need."
Pu Shangji's gaze darkened, but he did not loosen his grip on her somewhat heavy animal skin bag.
"What are you pretending for?"
Ling Yunxi thought he was talking about her, so she took a deep breath and rolled her eyes: "So not going means you're pretending?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Pu Shangji's silver-gray eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He didn't understand what she was saying, and looked down at her movements.
"If you keep trying to grab it, are you going to hug me too?"
No, please.
Ling Yunxi immediately released her grip on the animal skin bag.
Pu Shangji's lips curled up slightly, and he gave a satisfied hum, glancing at the contents of her animal skin bag.
"You like this?"
Ling Yunxi did not respond immediately, realizing that she might have misunderstood him, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
Seeing that she did not respond, Pu Shangji simply strode away, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Ling Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise.
Take me back?
Wouldn't that lead to misunderstandings?
Ling Yunxi ran after him, saying, "No need to trouble yourself."
Pu Shangji didn't walk very fast, clearly waiting for her to catch up.
"It's getting dark, it's not safe for a female like you to go home alone."
After Ling Yunxi caught up with him, she turned her head to look at him as they walked, saying, "My home isn't far, we'll be there soon."
"Far."
"Really, you don't need to..."
Bathed in the setting sun, under the big tree at the entrance of the Animal Academy.
The two chatted back and forth, their long shadows moving with their steps.
Just as they reached the door, Xiao Mingyan returned.
Seeing that Ling Yunxi was not in the house, he was about to go out to look for her when he came across the two of them walking side by side.
Xiao Mingyan's icy gaze darkened.
When Ling Yunxi saw him, he quickly regained his usual gentle demeanor.
With a slight smile, she said, "The mistress is back."
As he stepped forward to greet him, he subtly and stealthily snatched the animal skin bag from Pu Shangji's hand.
“Mm,” Ling Yunxi replied.
Just as he was about to take the animal skin bag from Pu Shangji's hand, he discovered that it was already in Xiao Mingyan's hands.
The thing in her hand was snatched away by her beast husband, and Pu Shangji raised an eyebrow slightly.
Turning to Ling Yunxi beside him, he said, "Yunxi, I'll see you off here for today. Don't forget about tomorrow."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Mingyan.
"I'll head back now."
"Okay," Ling Yunxi replied.
Realizing what was happening, she was about to say something.
At this point, Pu Shangji had already disappeared without a trace.
"The female master."
Xiao Mingyan's voice rang in my ears.
Worried that Xiao Mingyan might misunderstand, Ling Yunxi was about to explain.
"I……"
The next second, Xiao Mingyan picked her up in one swift motion.
Ling Yunxi instinctively grabbed his arm and caught a glimpse of the silence in his eyes.
She stopped talking.
When Xiao Mingyan picked up Ling Yunxi, his brows furrowed slightly.
The female in his arms was like cotton; the force he used just now was the same as when he held her last time.
He almost couldn't adapt.
"Master, it's getting lighter and lighter..."
Ling Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly.
This took her a lot of effort.
It has to be light.
I just want to be thin.
She wasn't thin; she was even out of breath when she walked.
Seeing the female in his arms lost in thought, Xiao Mingyan added, "However, no matter how light or heavy the female is, Mingyan can carry her."
Ling Yunxi snapped out of her daze and looked at his profile.
What exactly does he think of her?
It's good that she's not abusing him now; the original owner of this body abused him before, and he never resisted in the slightest.
He seems to be...
She reacted the same way to both of them.
She really couldn't understand this man.
"Mingyan, why didn't you fight back when I treated you like that before?"
