Mu Qing’s clothes had two long claw marks on them, with a few bloody scratches visible on her snow-white skin.
Sweat glistened on her forehead.
Tu Suya was gasping for breath, her face pale and covered in bruises.
Luo Feixuan looked even worse — pale as a sheet, barely able to stand upright.
Seeing this, Su Nan quickly stepped forward with concern:
“Are you all okay?”
“S-Senior…”
The moment she saw him, the adorably dazed Luo Feixuan staggered forward, her soft chest bouncing with every shaky step as if she were about to fall.
Su Nan instinctively reached out to support her —
But she suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on his forearm!
Su Nan’s eyes flickered —
He silently pulled back the bitten arm and supported her with the other, then turned to the other two and asked:
“You two aren’t hurt, right?”
“We’re fine.”
Both answered at once, though the way they looked at Luo Feixuan now was… complicated.
“Su Nan, who knew you were so capable?”
Tu Suya glanced at him and flashed a playful wink.
Su Nan only smiled faintly, saying nothing in return.
But that calm demeanor made Tu Suya’s heart stir with curiosity.
He wasn’t the reaction she expected.
“The trial is over. You passed,”
Yang Ningbing said, glancing over the group before announcing,
“Class dismissed.”
With that, she left the classroom without waiting for a response.
The four looked at each other, unsure, and finally exited the classroom together.
As they stepped out, they immediately saw Director Xi Qinyu walking toward them.
“Su Nan! Just the person I was looking for.”
She approached briskly.
“Hello, Director,”
All four greeted her politely.
“You haven’t checked into your dorm yet. Come with me.”
Xi Qinyu nodded gently to the three girls, then led Su Nan away from the teaching area.
The girls exchanged glances, smiles forming on their faces as they watched him go, then strolled off together.
***
An hour later.
Su Nan stood in the residential area of Tianlan Academy, staring at the private villa that had just been assigned to him.
He was a little overwhelmed.
Tianlan Academy had a strict hierarchy.
Whether you were a new or senior student, your living conditions were based on your cultivation talent and rank.
Ordinary students shared dorms — usually four to a room, and the more talented got two-person rooms.
The best were granted single suites.
But Su Nan…
He got an entire villa!
Such luxury was beyond anything he’d expected.
“Surprised?”
Xi Qinyu smiled softly, standing beside him.
That smile… like spring melting the ice, like a breeze across a frozen lake.
If any other student had seen this scene, they might’ve dropped their jaws on the spot.
“No need to be surprised,” she added.
“With your talent, you fully deserve it.”
“Come.”
She personally led him to the villa’s entrance, handed him the key, and turned to leave.
On the nearby path, several freshmen passed by.
When they saw Su Nan being assigned a top-tier private villa, their eyes were full of awe and envy.
“Damn, talk about a gap between people. Su Nan just got here and already has this treatment. Look at us!”
“Stop being salty. Su Nan ranked first in both assessments. In the second, he even defeated an A-rank Zombie King head-on. His strength is on another level.”
“Forget it, let’s go. All we can do is admire from afar…”
As they walked off, many silently swore to train harder — taking Su Nan as their new goal.
***
Su Nan opened the villa door and stepped inside.
The space was enormous — three floors, extravagantly furnished, fully equipped with every amenity. He didn’t need to prepare anything.
There were even nine bedrooms.
He wandered through the place and finally chose a room on the third floor to be his own.
Pulling back the thick linen curtains, he noticed a faint movement in the neighboring villa.
But when he looked again, all the windows were completely covered by heavy drapes.
No light escaped.
“What a strange neighbor…”
Su Nan muttered, then opened the window to let in the fresh air.
***
Evening, on the path through the dorm area…
The three beauties from Yang Ningbing’s class walked side by side.
Three uniquely charming girls together — cold, sweet, and seductive — instantly attracted the attention of countless passersby.
Though they weren’t as famous as Mu Chuxian, the trio still caused quite the stir.
Soon, a bold male student mustered his courage and stepped up with a grin:
“Hey girls, where are you headed?”
“I know this area really well. Want me to show you around?”
“We’re going to see Su Nan.”
Luo Feixuan replied sweetly.
The boy’s smile froze instantly, and he stopped in his tracks.
Su Nan?
The one who just got assigned a villa, the top-ranked new student, the guy famous for his unreal looks?
Just thinking of all those achievements made the student shrink back.
What could he do?
He wasn’t as handsome, and he definitely wasn’t as strong.
Going up against Su Nan was just asking for humiliation.
In the end, he could only watch with envy and bitterness as the three girls walked off toward Su Nan’s villa.
***
At that moment, Su Nan was lying on the soft living room sofa, watching TV.
The doorbell rang.
He got up to open the door — and saw the three beautiful classmates standing there.
“What? Not going to invite us in?”
Tu Suya smiled as she glanced at him, then stepped past him straight into the villa.
Behind her, the ever-adorable Luo Feixuan stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and stepped in as well.
Mu Qing entered last —
Her cheeks flushed, a bit shy, nothing like her usual aloof self.
After all, this was her first time entering a boy’s room.
“Whoa, Senior! Your place is huge!”
Luo Feixuan gasped as she looked around, then jumped onto the sofa, her chest bouncing dramatically.
Tu Suya glanced around, then sat down and said:
“Teacher asked us to create a group chat to make communication easier.”
“Oh.”
Su Nan nodded casually, handed her his phone, and said,
“Go ahead.”
“You even have a private kitchen!”
Luo Feixuan had just spotted the large open kitchen.
She immediately jumped up and ran over in excitement.
Mu Qing sat quietly on the side, a gentle smile on her face.
She occasionally snuck glances at Su Nan — her cheeks growing redder each time.
“Wow, it has everything!”
Luo Feixuan opened the fridge, then looked at Su Nan with sparkling eyes:
“Senior, do you know how to cook? None of us have eaten yet!”
