Chapter 34: Free-loading off Jiang Nannan

"Is that so..." The corner of Bai Zhou's mouth twitched; so his acting was that bad...

"I didn't investigate you on purpose, it's just that I felt it was necessary to thank you in person..."

Jiang Nannan bit her red lips and said softly: "You saved me and my mother when I was at my most desperate. I promised you that I, Jiang Nannan, owe you a life. If you have any needs, I will do anything..."

"Really, you'll do anything?" Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow, intentionally walked forward, leaned into Jiang Nannan's ear, and took a light breath of her clean fragrance.

Jiang Nannan's delicate body trembled violently, and her face turned red and hot at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she didn't retreat, nor did she escape. Instead, she bit her red lips hard and finally gritted her teeth: "If you need... I... will not refuse..."

Jiang Nannan gently closed her eyes, seemingly waiting for Bai Zhou's judgment.

This was her own choice, and it was also she who had taken the initiative to come to him; no matter the result, she would accept it.

Because she had a trace of inexplicable favor toward Bai Zhou, and no matter what, it was much better than being taken advantage of by that disgusting guy Xu Sanshi.

"Alright, then please let me, Senior Sister..."

Bai Zhou spoke gloomily and slowly stated his condition.

Jiang Nannan closed her eyes, her whole body tense, clearly extremely nervous.

Finally, Bai Zhou's condition reached her ears.

"Then please let me touch your rabbit ears~"

Bai Zhou said with a smile.

Jiang Nannan:??? "Wha... what did you say..."

Jiang Nannan thought she had misheard, opened her eyes wide, and asked in disbelief.

"Actually, I really hadn't thought about what I wanted you to do, but I was afraid you'd have reservations in your heart, so I just casually brought up a condition."

"I heard you have a rabbit martial soul, Senior Sister, and I'm a bit curious..."

Bai Zhou looked at Jiang Nannan with eager eyes and rubbed his hands together, clearly feeling a bit itchy.

Bai Zhou actually wasn't lying; he didn't like threatening others, and he was indeed a bit itchy, curious about the feel of Jiang Nannan's rabbit ears... It just so happened that Jiang Nannan had delivered herself to his door.

"You..."

A few minutes later.

Jiang Nannan, face flushed, lowered her head and hurried away.

Fortunately, this was a small path and there was no one around, otherwise, she definitely would have died of social embarrassment.

"This little bad guy must have done it on purpose..." Jiang Nannan gritted her teeth secretly; she could see it now, she had been played by Bai Zhou this time.

But because the other party's favor was too great, it wasn't something that could be repaid so easily, so she had definitely been free-loaded off this time...

But Jiang Nannan was also a bit helpless, because she had delivered herself to his door...

Who could have guessed that she had sincerely wanted to repay the other party, made up her mind to agree to any condition, and in exchange, she had been plucked by the rabbit ears for a few minutes...

Just thinking about it made her feel a bit ashamed.

However, after today's events, Jiang Nannan also completely saw it now: although that Bai Zhou was a little bad guy, he was also a person with principles.

At the very least, the other party would definitely not use this condition to threaten her or do anything extremely excessive to her.

As for touching her rabbit ears... although it was a bit perverted, in her view, it was just a strange little hobby of Bai Zhou's, not something that made her feel disgusted; she just wasn't used to it...

With this thought, a huge stone seemed to fall from Jiang Nannan's heart, and the inexplicable pressure that had been weighing on her instantly vanished; her whole mood inexplicably improved a lot. At the same time, her favor toward Bai Zhou was also rising rapidly.

This little Junior Brother Bai Zhou, aside from being a bit mischievous, was good in every other way.

Bai Zhou arrived at the Soul Tool Department, his mood pleasant.

It had to be said, Jiang Nannan's rabbit ears were truly great to touch, and they seemed to be very sensitive...

Bai Zhou inexplicably thought of Jiang Nannan's subconscious action of clamping her legs together when he touched her rabbit ears.

It seemed the rabbit ears were a switch; as long as you pressed them lightly, you could trigger Jiang Nannan's strange attributes.

"No, I have to find a chance to try again next time..." Bai Zhou stroked his chin, feeling itchy again; he really, really wanted to take Jiang Nannan to a small dark room and touch them to his heart's content all at once.

Restraining his strange emotions slightly, Bai Zhou continued to throw himself into the training of making soul tools, tirelessly, as if he couldn't feel fatigue.

Cultivation was truly boring for Bai Zhou, but researching soul tools was very interesting.

Bai Zhou was already a Level 1 Soul Tool Master and could engrave Level 1 core formations, but Bai Zhou's thoughts weren't on this; he wasn't following the rules and making things according to conventional blueprints, but was improving and re-creating them.

Because he discovered that Shrek Academy's soul tool technology was still too backward, especially for low-level soul tools; the core formations were extremely redundant, just like garbage code. Although they could run, they consumed a huge amount of computing power, and the reaction was slow.

They didn't know how to innovate and improve.

Most of the technology came from the Sun Moon Empire, which was one of the reasons why Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department couldn't develop.

Bai Zhou acknowledged the strength of Soul Tool Masters like Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu, but they were high-level Soul Tool Masters who racked their brains to create and wanted to reach higher realms, so naturally, they wouldn't study the core formations of low-level soul tools like Level 1 or 2.

This led to it being extremely difficult for low-level Soul Tool Masters to learn; only extremely talented people could barely make progress, such as Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, and others.

As for other Soul Tool Masters, they were basically garbage; it could be said there were no successors.

What Bai Zhou learned from the "Soul Tool Master Cultivation Guide" was the most solid foundation; only by laying a solid foundation would the future ceiling be higher.

So at this moment, Bai Zhou wasn't in a hurry to raise his Soul Tool Master level, but was simplifying various core formations to create a brand-new system.

"This little guy, he's making progress really fast..."

Behind Bai Zhou, Xian Lin'er, wearing a lab coat, slowly appeared like a ghost. Looking at Bai Zhou's serious face, a rare look of gratification appeared on her face.

"Teacher, you're here."

Bai Zhou had just finished engraving a formation, turned his head, saw Xian Lin'er, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

Xian Lin'er was wearing a snow-white lab coat today, revealing only a pair of calves wrapped in ultra-thin flesh-colored silk stockings, straight and rounded, paired with a pair of thin high heels...

Tsk, it felt like it was about to come out...

Bai Zhou glanced at it quickly and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, lest he be beaten to a pulp; after all, Xian Lin'er wasn't someone he could tease right now...

"Mm, have you encountered any problems? Why haven't you come to find Teacher to discuss them?" Xian Lin'er walked over and asked with a smile.

Bai Zhou's small movements were naturally seen by her, but she didn't care at all.

After all, to her, Bai Zhou was like someone in puberty, full of curiosity, and it was very normal for him to have curiosity about women.

"Mm, Teacher, I feel that many Level 1 core formation blueprints have room for improvement..."

Bai Zhou didn't keep his findings to himself and briefly explained his recent research results.

Xian Lin'er was a bit dismissive at first, but when Bai Zhou showed her his improved core formation, she was completely stunned.
