Pu Shangji was sitting upright in front of a huge wooden sculpture.
It was covered with densely packed runes.
She recognized some of them, but the vast majority were people she had never seen before.
It seems she still hasn't learned enough.
That's not the point.
Instead, the floor inside the room was so clean that it was as if she would be guilty of wearing shoes inside.
The dust brought in ruined the originally clean and spotless environment inside.
The wooden planks on the ground were clean and shiny, and she left footprints wherever she went.
Her sudden entrance seemed somewhat abrupt.
Pu Shangji was dressed in a gray-blue sacrificial robe, his back to her, and his eyes were closed.
It looked like a prayer, or perhaps a martial arts practice.
What do you want from me?
He didn't open his eyes, and asked directly.
"I've thought about it, and this thing is far too valuable..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pu Shangji interrupted.
"I told you, if you don't want it, just throw it away."
No, is there any explanation for this?
Is it better to give it to someone else or keep it for yourself?
Ling Yunxi didn't understand.
"That's exclusively for you."
Pu Shangji seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and said it directly.
"What's the meaning?"
Ling Yunxi asked, puzzled.
"That's a treasure passed down from our ancestors, a protective item that the male gives to the female before leaving home. Simply put, it means only you can use it."
"Then I definitely can't use it."
Without a second thought, Ling Yunxi handed the item back to him.
"I'm saving this for your future female."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something and suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Ling Yunxi's words stung him once again.
Suddenly, his supernatural abilities fluctuated slightly.
He steadied his breathing.
Pu Shangji slowly opened his eyes.
He didn't respond to her.
He stood up abruptly and silently approached her.
Ling Yunxi unconsciously stepped back, her brows furrowing.
What's going on??
It's not appropriate for a lone man and woman to be so close.
Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist.
Ling Yunxi's eyes widened as she tried to break free, only to find that his strength was astonishing.
What do you want to do?
She almost scolded him.
Pu Shangji's deep pupils seemed to be searching for something through her eyes.
Mysterious, otherworldly, a divine consciousness different from this world.
But the female was entangled with him by fate.
He discovered this astonishing phenomenon during an ancient priestly ritual.
The opportunity to discover her came during a cycle of life and death.
Sure enough, it was her!
Pu Shangji narrowed his eyes slightly, the memories in his mind coming to an end.
He then noticed that his wrist, which he was gripping tightly, was slightly swollen and red.
He suddenly let go.
"Feel sorry."
He wanted to pick it up again to examine it.
Ling Yunxi hid behind him before he could.
Pu Shangji frowned slightly.
After a moment of silence, he changed the subject and turned to look at the wooden carving he had been facing.
How many of these do you recognize?
Ling Yunxi followed his gaze and looked over.
She used the runes she had learned in the past few days to translate them. Some were coherent, but she couldn't understand the meaning of the unfamiliar parts.
She shook her head: "Not many."
"From now on, come here every day after school, and I'll teach you."
Ling Yunxi really wanted to learn.
"Thank you, but no need."
She spoke.
Once you accept too much, it becomes difficult to extricate yourself from the situation.
She did not want to be bound by anyone.
After saying that, she put the bag on the table next to her and turned to leave.
“Wait,” Pu Shangji called out to her.
Ling Yunxi stopped in her tracks.
"Is there anything else?"
"Since you don't want that thing, you can keep this. It's nothing valuable."
"Um?"
Something warm was stuffed into Ling Yunxi's hand.
"These are newly developed dishes from the Enlightenment Academy. Take them home and eat them."
That's what he developed.
"There's plenty more, don't worry about not having enough."
As if anticipating what she was going to say, Pu Shangji spoke up in advance.
Looking at the piece of food wrapped in leaves in her hand, Ling Yunxi felt it would be impolite to refuse again.
"Alright, then I'll head back now."
Watching Ling Yunxi's retreating figure, Pu Shangji picked up the things she had put back, seemingly deep in thought.
Animal Academy.
She went to find Pu Shangji as soon as get out of class was over, and now her hungry stomach was protesting.
Ling Yunxi couldn't wait to return to her seat and open the box.
The aroma of meat is irresistible.
It was a fried meat patty, crispy on the outside, no longer sizzling, but glistening with an enticing sheen.
With a gentle bite, the crispy texture is followed by the slow, juicy release of flavorful meat juices.
The aroma of meat mingles with the fragrance of spices.
She widened her eyes, then gently shook her head and chewed with satisfaction.
……tasty!
She suddenly had an inspiration while participating in the preparation of a meal for the Peacock tribe.
After finishing her meal, she tidied up and then continued to flip through her animal language translation book.
Soon, the orcs began to enter.
When Chi Yanling entered, she noticed that Ling Yunxi was looking down intently at something.
He had a sudden urge to go over and see what she was looking at.
She's been like this for the past few days, completely unconcerned about whether the medicine she gave him has any effect.
The light on the book suddenly dimmed.
Ling Yunxi assumed it was because the beastmen had come in and didn't pay much attention.
She moved the book aside and continued studying.
Suddenly, the light on the other side was also blocked.
She frowned slightly, but just then, a familiar warmth of feathers wafted from her head.
