Chapter 102: A Three-Person Date
Fortunately, after more than a minute, Barbara turned back into a cat.
"Meow~"
Little White also seemed to notice its own change, rubbed against Lu Xun, and then continued sleeping.
Lu Xun let out a breath of relief.
If it lasted any longer, he might not be able to hold out.
That night, Lu Xun didn't sleep well.
With the arousal from Barbara having nowhere to go, Lu Xun tossed and turned, only falling into a deep sleep as dawn approached.
"Lu Xun, the Secret Realm Examination is about to start; I plan to go into closed-door training for a few days, so let's meet up this coming weekend."
The next evening, Chu Youqing called Lu Xun.
She missed him a little and wanted to go on a date with him.
"All right, I'll wait for you at the school gate."
"No need, I'll wait for you."
Lu Xun naturally did not refuse.
Saturday,
Early in the morning, Lu Xun got up early.
After washing up, he put Little White into his pocket and went out.
The campus was bustling.
As the Secret Realm Examination drew nearer, the number of students still training dwindled.
The students came out to engage in activities.
The arena became the busiest spot.
Besides the arena, in some open areas, one could also see students engaging in friendly exchanges.
"Westerners?"
Lu Xun saw a few Western students in the distance.
This must be the magic visiting team from the West.
He did not go over to join the fun.
Today he had to go on a date with Chu Youqing.
"Wow, Murong Wan."
"I heard she broke through to the Third Realm."
"What? Is it true? She also broke through to the Third Realm?"
"Our Northern Dipper University has produced two geniuses in a row this year—has the ancestral grave started smoking?!"
As they walked, cries of surprise rose from not far away.
Lu Xun turned his head and saw Murong Wan several dozen meters away.
After breaking through to the Third Realm, Murong Wan's whole person glowed, her looks and demeanor rising to a higher level.
Walking around campus, her heads-turning rate is off the charts.
Somehow the news of her breaking through to the Third Realm got out, causing many students to gasp in amazement.
At that moment, Murong Wan also saw Lu Xun.
Lu Xun gave her a slight smile, stopped, and waited for her.
Seeing this, Murong Wan, who had been walking on the other side of the green belt, changed direction and walked toward Lu Xun.
This time, upon breaking through to the Third Realm, she awakened a full four Eye Aperture Divine Abilities and also gained a Double Pupil; Lu Xun's Secret Aperture Pill contributed greatly.
Otherwise, even with ample preparation and her Exquisite Treasure Body being heaven-defying, Murong Wan felt she could at most awaken two Eye Aperture Divine Abilities.
As for a Double Pupil, she couldn't even dream of it.
So, Murong Wan prepared to personally thank Lu Xun.
The two met up.
"Good morning."
"Morning."
Both of their moods were pretty good.
"This time, breaking through to the Third Realm, thanks largely to the Secret Aperture Pill you gave me, Lu Xun, thank you."
After exchanging greetings, Murong Wan thanked him solemnly.
"No need, it was just a trivial matter."
Lu Xun waved his hands repeatedly.
For him, it really was a trivial matter.
"That Secret Aperture Pill, isn't it very precious?"
Murong Wan asked tentatively.
The reason she asked this was because, after awakening the Double Pupil, she had startled Fu Yue.
You should know, this time Murong Wan actually awakened a full four Martial Dao Divine Abilities, plus a Double Pupil.
Merely awakening a Double Pupil would not have surprised Fu Yue too much.
After all, Murong Wan possesses the Exquisite Treasure Body, an innate physique that is who knows how many times more formidable than those geniuses who merely opened a Heaven Earth Meridian.
One Double Pupil plus four Martial Dao Divine Abilities is already somewhat astonishing.
When Fu Yue asked, she only then learned that Murong Wan had previously taken a Secret Aperture Pill.
This made Fu Yue a little curious—what kind of Secret Aperture Pill has such an effect.
Even a Heaven-tier Secret Aperture Pill could not have such an effect.
Could it be the Saint-tier medicinal pill recently rumored about?
After the previous auction, Fu Yue learned from others that her younger sister Fu Xue had spent a lot of money at the auction to buy Lu Xun a Saint-tier Secret Aperture Pill.
Fu Yue couldn't help suspecting whether Lu Xun had given the Saint-tier Secret Aperture Pill to Murong Wan.
She didn't say it outright, merely asking indirectly.
Murong Wan is very clever.
Based on Fu Yue's reaction, she guessed that the Secret Aperture Pill Lu Xun gave must be extraordinarily precious.
"It's just so-so; actually it's not worth much, as long as it's useful to you."
Lu Xun didn't describe the Secret Aperture Pill as too precious.
To avoid increasing Murong Wan's psychological pressure.
"I heard you broke through to the Third Realm?"
To prevent Murong Wan from continuing to dwell on this topic, Lu Xun took the initiative to chat with her.
"Mm."
"Impressive, truly worthy of being my older sister Wan."
Lu Xun expressed his approval.
Murong Wan's words became few again, and she didn't really respond.
"By the way, are you also participating in this secret realm trial?"
Lu Xun brought up a topic.
Murong Wan's situation is somewhat special; strictly speaking, she cannot be considered a student of Beidou University.
"Will."
As expected, Murong Wan will also participate in the secret realm trial.
"Then we can form a team."
That is Lu Xun's purpose.
"Form a team!"
The secret realm of the trial is vast inside.
It also contains many dangers.
Although Murong Wan has broken through to the Third Realm, her own combat ability is not weak, yet Lu Xun still worries a bit.
He worries not only about her, but even more about Chu Youqing.
Students from different schools cannot team up; they can only enter the secret realm first and then try to find Chu Youqing.
"I'm afraid not; the teacher told me to participate in the second-year group's trial."
"Ah?"
Lu Xun was stunned.
"The teacher said I'm too old, plus I've broken through to the Third Realm, so participating in the first-year group would be unsuitable; other schools would have objections."
Murong Wan explained.
"Alright."
This secret realm trial is a joint examination; likely for this reason, Fu Yue had Murong Wan join the second-year group.
With her strength, even participating in the second-year group, she might possibly win the championship.
That's fine too.
If she wins the championship, she can obtain two Heavenly Dao talismans.
This led Lu Xun to decide to go buy some spirit talismans and the like for Murong Wan.
In these days, he can also refine more fourth-grade battle pills.
As the two chatted, they arrived at the school gate.
"Lu Xun, auntie."
Outside the school gate, Chu Youqing saw the two and happily waved.
Seeing Chu Youqing, Lu Xun suddenly recalled a crucial question.
Murong Wan left early this morning; where was she going?
Could it be... that Chu Youqing also called her?
"Youqing."
Murong Wan walked over and linked arms with Chu Youqing, resembling a pair of sister flowers.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xun could no longer fail to understand.
Chu Youqing must have called Murong Wan.
He felt a bit overwhelmed.
Now it's completely confirmed.
Chu Youqing's little head is simply missing a screw.
What are you doing bringing your own aunt on a date with your boyfriend?
If your aunt were merely an aunt, it would be fine.
Have you forgotten what happened between your boyfriend and your aunt?
"Lu Xun, let's go."
Chu Youqing waved at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun had no choice but to walk over.
Murong Wan paused.
She likewise came to her senses.
Chu Youqing today not only called her, but also called Lu Xun.
This date turned into three people.
