Chapter 362: Jiang Chuxuan

Two beautiful women with utterly different demeanors simultaneously threw themselves into the arms of the same young man.

Instantly, those around them were left gaping in shock.

When the young man's gaze swept across them, the overwhelming pressure he emitted made their hearts jolt.

They quickly averted their eyes and hurried away.

This young man was naturally Xu Jingming, come to pick them up.

Only after a long while did the two women, having had their fill of hugging, reluctantly let go, their cheeks slightly flushed.

Song Qiuyun couldn't help pouting, "You told us we were going to the Demon Caves, but instead we ended up in Sakura Country."

If we hadn't seen it on the news after leaving the Wilderness Zone today, we still wouldn't have known."

Song Qiuyun was naturally sultry, and with this pout, she looked not the least angry—only more alluring than ever.

Beside her, the white-haired girl Jiang Chuxuan said nothing, but her expression clearly showed she strongly agreed with Song Qiuyun's words.

"I was just afraid you'd worry."

Xu Jingming smiled as he wrapped his arms around their slender waists, "Come on, let's get in the car—I'll tell you everything on the way."

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan had gone to the Yangcheng Wilderness Zone, farther from Magic City than the Demon Caves.

They hadn't driven—they'd taken high-speed trains back and forth.

So Xu Jingming had simply brought Jiang Chuxuan's ice-blue sports car over.

After activating the car's autonomous driving mode, Xu Jingming relaxed in the back seat and recounted the entire sequence of events to the two women.

As before with Vice Principal Ling Shuang, he omitted key details during his telling.

Even so,

Xu Jingming's feat of slaying a sixth-rank psychic from the Tianyu Dao Hall within the ruins space drew repeated gasps of awe from the two women.

But when they learned Xu Jingming had advanced to Upper Fourth Rank and had already submitted his early graduation application,

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both fell silent at once.

Altogether, only three months had passed since they'd officially become a couple.

For lovers in the throes of passion, this time was not long—indeed, it was very short.

Moreover, most of that time, Xu Jingming had been busy training and cultivating.

Recently, he'd been away for a full two months.

Yet now that he'd just returned, he was about to leave again.

And this time, he'd graduate directly from Magic University and not return.

For these two women, this was undeniably hard to accept.

"Don't worry—I'll definitely come back to see you whenever I get the chance."

Seeing their eyes slightly reddened, on the verge of tears, Xu Jingming quickly comforted them.

The Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy's Elite Training Camp is near Cave #4, and Cave #4 lies in Ningnan City, Guizhou Province.

It's over two thousand kilometers from Magic City.

Even by military jet, a round trip would take at least ten hours.

He couldn't say when he'd return to Magic City next, but he'd try his best to find opportunities.

"It's fine—follow your own plan, Jingming. We'll keep training hard here at Magic University."

Song Qiuyun replied, taking a deep breath and calming her emotions slightly.

She was not a woman who lacked perspective.

Xu Jingming was going to the Elite Training Camp to receive advanced training, not on a spring outing.

How could he casually leave whenever he wanted?

"Qiuyun's right—you don't need to worry about us."

"Besides, don't we still have the virtual immersion pods?"

"Through the network, we can still achieve the same lifelike effect as face-to-face meetings."

Jiang Chuxuan softly echoed the same sentiment.

Seeing this, Xu Jingming felt a warm surge in his chest and gently pulled them both into his arms.

"By the way, Jingming, where are we headed next?"

"Back to campus. Why?"

"Campus isn't convenient—how about my villa in the city?"

"Fine."

"......"

The sports car swiftly turned and headed toward its new destination.

Both Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan owned multiple properties in Magic City, including several villas.

The three ultimately went to one of Jiang Chuxuan's villas in Jing'an District, slightly quieter in setting.

"Why didn't you go to the Yuan Shui Wilderness Zone instead of Yangcheng? And Jiang Chu Xuan, aren't you focused on becoming a potion master? Why did you go along too?"

After dinner, Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and asked with a smile.

Compared to Yuan Shui Wilderness Zone, Yangcheng was more dangerous.

But one carried an Eighth-Rank protective talisman, the other a Sixth-Rank one.

Safety wasn't an issue—only the distance from Magic City was too great.

"Yangcheng has a rare herb I need to brew my pills, so I asked Qiuyun to come with me."

"Besides, I've filmed too many videos of potion-making for fans—occasionally returning to my old style isn't bad."

Besides, after filming so many pill-refining videos for the fans all this time, going back to the old style for one episode every now and then isn't bad either."

Jiang Chuxuan, now changed into a casual outfit, leaned back on the sofa with her long legs casually crossed, showing off their slender lines.

A head of long white hair spilled down behind her, smooth and silky.

"This time I not only picked the rare flowers and exotic herbs Sister Chuxuan wanted, my strength has also improved."

Song Qiuyun, who was at the side, said proudly.

"Oh, not bad—you've already reached the upper rank of the second stage."

Only now did Xu Jingming notice that compared to before, Song Qiuyun's aura had grown considerably stronger.

One had to know,

when Song Qiuyun entered Magic University, she was only at the peak of the first stage.

Advancing an entire major stage in just one year was already quite impressive.

"Of course, although I can't compare with you freak, I'm a genius too." Song Qiuyun said with a giggle.

"It's been a while since we sparred—want to give it a try?"

Xu Jingming, after glancing at his phone, suggested with a smile.

It was only eight in the evening now; there was still plenty of time.

"Sure." Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu didn't refuse, their pretty faces beaming with smiles as they answered.

"No good, no good—we still can't beat you."

Ten minutes later—

the two women in the training room, utterly exhausted, chose to concede.

"Fighting them used to count as a warm-up at best, but now it doesn't even qualify as a warm-up."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Actually, Song Qiuyun's rate of advancement was already fast enough, far surpassing most of her peers.

But in front of him, a cheater, it still wasn't enough...
