Before the system could even finish its sentence, Su Nan directly muted it, frowning as he focused intently on studying the True Dragon Body Refinement Technique.
You’ve got to forge iron while it’s hot — and relying solely on flirty cheat codes wasn’t his style.
Even knowing it would be difficult, Su Nan began cultivating the first tier of the True Dragon Technique — starting from the Dragon Shadow stage.
The first step of the True Dragon Body Refinement Technique was to cultivate Qi.
Inhale Qi into the body, connect with heaven and earth, merge with the natural forces — only then could true mastery begin!
Drawing Qi into the body was the hardest part.
To even start cultivating, one had to know how to absorb spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy existed between heaven and earth, drifting throughout nature.
All things could absorb it, but how effectively it could be used depended on one’s talent.
Some were born gifted, able to sense the flow of energy clearly.
Others were less fortunate, unable to perceive it easily.
But after being refined by the Pure Yang energy, Su Nan’s body now belonged to the former — highly gifted.
Not long after he began circulating the technique, Su Nan could feel a tingling sensation crawling through every pore of his body, like something slithering in.
It was agonizing.
But according to the True Dragon Technique, this marked the beginning — drawing Qi into the body.
Only after enduring this pain could one truly begin training.
Su Nan clenched his jaw and endured the itching and discomfort, forcing himself to continue pulling in the Qi.
Soon, the pain turned into numbness, and his body began to adapt.
The speed of absorption also increased significantly.
As the Qi entered his body, it started to swirl internally.
Following the method described, Su Nan guided the Qi throughout his body, into his limbs and meridians.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
When he finally completed one full circulation of the first tier, his body was drenched in sweat.
Su Nan exhaled deeply, then stood and threw a punch — a faint dragon-shaped shadow flickered into view!
Seeing this, Su Nan was overjoyed.
In just half a day, he had taken the first step and successfully circulated the first tier of the technique, even manifesting a Dragon Shadow!
But thinking back on the process — every second had felt like an hour.
His body now looked scorched red, like it had been through a furnace.
Sweat soaked the floor beneath him, pooling into a small stream.
The True Dragon Tempering Technique was undoubtedly powerful, but its difficulty was beyond imagination.
Most people would require medicinal baths and step-by-step guidance.
For Su Nan to do this purely through his own willpower and blood energy—
That was practically unheard of.
After everything was done, Su Nan caught a whiff of the sour, rank stench coming off his body.
He grimaced and rushed into the bathroom.
After a long bath, Su Nan looked at the darkening sky and suddenly remembered—
Mu Chuxian had invited him to dinner tonight.
Just thinking about that unpredictable senior made Su Nan’s head ache.
He really didn’t feel like going.
Maybe… he should just ghost her?
But right at that moment, the doorbell rang.
Su Nan opened the door—only to find Mu Chuxian standing there.
Dazzling eyes, red lips, pearly teeth—she looked at him with a smitten gaze.
Being stared at so affectionately by such a stunning beauty, even Su Nan found it hard to stay composed.
What made it worse—she was blocking his door.
A crowd had gathered, curious to see who the academy’s goddess had come to invite personally!
“Junior Su.”
Mu Chuxian’s voice was soft and teasing.
“You weren’t thinking of standing me up, were you?”
The word “stand-up” drifted into Su Nan’s ears, making him shiver slightly.
Immediately, the crowd glared daggers at him: ‘Standing up a girl like that? Are you insane?!’
So what if you’re good-looking?!
Under that sharp collective gaze, Su Nan forced a smile and turned to Mu Chuxian:
“Of course not. I was just getting ready.”
“Oh? Really?”
Mu Chuxian giggled lightly and, without waiting for an invitation, waltzed into his room.
Under the envious stares of the crowd, she gently closed the door with a smile, and then…
She leaned lazily against the doorframe, her long black-stockinged legs casually crossed, openly on display before Su Nan.
Running a finger across her thigh, she smiled nonchalantly:
“It’s soft. Don’t you want to touch it, Junior Su?”
Now, Su Nan was a righteous man who didn’t lose his composure easily…
But he was also a perfectly normal young man.
Full of yang energy.
Most importantly—
He was a very honest person.
“Well, since you offered… I won’t be polite.”
With that, Su Nan reached toward her stocking-clad leg.
Mu Chuxian’s smile froze.
He actually touched it?!
Flustered, she instinctively stepped back and muttered,
“I-I was just joking, Junior. Don’t take it seriously!”
Su Nan just chuckled and said…
“Oh? I thought you were scared.”
Without caring what she thought, he turned to grab his jacket.
Mu Chuxian’s brows twitched.
Her pride had been wounded.
‘Hmph! You think I won’t dare?’
This little challenge… it’ll be me who suffers in the end!

Tianlan Academy – Student Cafeteria
Calling it a cafeteria didn’t do it justice — the place was luxurious, more opulent than some five-star hotels.
As one of the Four Great Academies of humanity, Tianlan spared no expense on facilities.
Especially the cafeteria — vital for nourishing students’ bodies.
“See? That’s the noodles section.”
“This is the boxed meals area.”
“And over there, you can order à la carte.”
Mu Chuxian explained everything like a tour guide.
Su Nan, hearing those names, looked a little deflated.
Despite the luxury, it was still… a cafeteria.
“Since your senior is treating you tonight.”
Mu Chuxian turned to him with a smile, “shouldn’t you treat me to something good?”
Su Nan shrugged nonchalantly.
‘With over ten thousand points, I can treat you ten times over.’
‘Junior Su here… is filthy rich!’
(By the way, in Tianlan Academy, points are even more valuable than money.)
But just then—
“Oh hoho~!”
“Mu Chuxian, Mu Chuxian! You’ve really got the nerve to say that?”
“Making such a handsome junior treat you—don’t you feel anything in your conscience?”
Before the words even faded—
Su Nan was overwhelmed by a powerful presence.
The sight before him: snowy softness trembling, an open collar unable to contain majestic fullness…
And then — a head of flowing golden hair came into view.
An exotic, drop-dead-gorgeous onee-san slowly approached.
