Chapter 330: Be Careful, Xiao Gucheng
That evening, Lingyun and Nangong Nayue appeared simultaneously at the entrance of the Ocean Grave.
Lingyun was wearing a high-end suit, a faint smile on his face, giving off an extremely approachable feeling. Nangong Nayue had also changed out of her gothic lolita outfit and was wearing an evening gown. Although her height was something people might tease, the temperament she carried was enough to make one overlook that fact.
"Teacher Lingyun, Teacher... Na Yue, why are you two here?" Just as Lingyun was looking up and down at this massive cruise ship, a voice rang out beside his ear.
"Yo, isn't this student Xiao Gucheng and the new transfer student? Why have you two appeared in this place as well?" Lingyun greeted them with a smile. "As a student, wandering around outside in the middle of the night is very dangerous, you know!"
"Well, I received an invitation from the owner of this cruise ship to come here and attend the evening banquet," Xiao Gucheng explained, scratching the back of his head.
"Is that so? Then you had better be careful, Xiao Gucheng. As far as I know, the owner of this cruise ship is a gay man. For a little handsome guy like you, be careful not to get targeted by him!" Lingyun reminded him with a grin.
Hearing Lingyun's words, a chill couldn't help but rise in Xiao Gucheng's heart, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Um, Teacher Lingyun, you aren't just joking to scare the senior, are you?" Himeragi Yukina, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
"That's right, that must be it! Teacher, you're just trying to scare me! Besides, if the other party really is gay, no matter how you look at it, Teacher Lingyun, you would be in more danger than me!" Xiao Gucheng said from the side with a stiff expression.
"I am not joking at all. As a teacher, my sources of information are quite a bit better than yours! As for that snake-charmer wanting to set his sights on me, he had better be prepared to become snake soup!" Lingyun said to Xiao Gucheng with an expression that said he wasn't kidding. "Do you know? By Vatler's side, there is a maid corps that is not small in number at all. But that guy has absolutely no interest in women; he treats them directly as guests. Moreover, the personal bodyguards by his side are all famous beautiful boys among the vampires of the War King Domain!"
"Um, Teacher, you must be joking. How could an ordinary, average student like me be any kind of beautiful boy?" Xiao Gucheng said with a look of collapse. "And how could I compare to those beautiful boys of the nobility?"
"You shouldn't look down on yourself, student Xiao Gucheng. In this world, vampires are synonymous with elegance and charm, especially high-level vampires—which one of them isn't a handsome man or a beautiful woman? If you, student Gucheng, are the Fourth Progenitor, if you could rein in that decadent aura of yours and pay a little attention to your appearance, it wouldn't be a problem to charm a bunch of underclassmen." Lingyun smiled and patted Xiao Gucheng on the shoulder. "Keep it up, student Xiao Gucheng, I have high hopes for you!"
"Um, um, Teacher Lingyun, can you... can you please stop teasing me..." Feeling the killing intent slowly rising behind him, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He believed that if he let Lingyun continue, he would definitely die a very, very miserable death.
Behind Xiao Gucheng, Himeragi Yukina's body was already completely shrouded in darkness. Her hand gripping the guitar case was trembling incessantly, as if she might go on a rampage at any moment.
"I'm not teasing you. Isn't there an underclassman behind you who is charmed by you?" Lingyun said with a smile.
"Behind me, an underclassman?" Xiao Gucheng's body paused slightly, then he turned his head to look. Behind him, there was only Himeragi Yukina.
Seeing that everyone had turned their gaze toward her and recalling Lingyun's words just now, two red clouds uncontrollably rose on Himeragi Yukina's face. Her head dropped instantly; the look of someone about to go on a rampage was nowhere to be found.
Watching Himeragi Yukina's shy appearance, Xiao Gucheng's breath hitched, and then an inexplicable impulse surged violently from within his body, his eyes turning blood-red in an instant. Fortunately, after mastering the Golden of the Lion, he already had a certain level of control over his power, and after a bout of effort, he finally managed to suppress his vampire impulses.
By the time Xiao Gucheng came to his senses, he discovered that Lingyun and the other person had already disappeared.
"Teacher Lingyun is really something, how could he make that kind of joke in front of me!" Xiao Gucheng complained a bit, while looking at Himeragi Yukina, who was still in a state of bashfulness, and scratched his head with a headache.
"Lingyun, the relationship between those two?" In another place, Nangong Nayue frowned and said to Lingyun.
"That's right, it's just as you think. I have to say, the Lion King Organization really played a good hand. With Himeragi Yukina there, Xiao Gucheng at least won't end up on the opposite side of the Lion King Organization, and they might even be able to gain quite a few benefits from Xiao Gucheng." Looking at the two in the distance, Lingyun chuckled a few times and said, "It truly lives up to the name of the Lion King Marriage Agency!"
"The Lion King Organization is an old-established organization that has been fighting the Demon Race for so long; it's not strange for them to have this kind of ability." Nangong Nayue narrowed her eyes. "However, what do you mean by that 'Lion King Marriage Agency'?"
Lingyun smiled faintly, and a circle of invisible Divine Sense swept toward the surroundings, instantly grinding some things that were gathering toward them in the shadows into dust.
"The Lion King Organization: 20 years of professionally delivering wives, 20 years of professionally marrying off daughters. Delivering girls, maintenance, and support—a one-stop service. If this isn't a marriage agency, what is?" After completely destroying some annoying little things, Lingyun's mood seemed to improve, and he explained to Nangong Nayue with a smile.
"Besides, there are so many personnel in the Lion King Organization who are skilled at surveillance; why did they specifically send Himeragi Yukina, a rookie among rookies? How is this any different from sending a little white rabbit into the mouth of a big bad wolf? If this isn't clearly delivering a girl, then what is? Moreover, in Huaxia, there is a saying: a hero cannot pass the trial of a beauty!"
Nangong Nayue wanted to say something, but remembering the actions of the Lion King Organization over this period of time, she suddenly felt that what Lingyun said didn't seem unreasonable.
"Forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us; we had better not worry about it. However, if the Lion King Organization really dares to harbor any crooked thoughts toward my student, I don't mind letting them witness what the anger of a teacher is like." Nangong Nayue looked into the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
"So this is the Ocean Grave; it really is luxurious enough." Lingyun and Nangong Nayue stepped onto this luxurious cruise ship.
"This name is very fitting—a grave on the ocean. I just don't know if we can bury that perverted vampire in this place." A glimmer of unfathomable light flashed in Lingyun's eyes.
"We don't yet know this guy's true intentions; we had better wait and see how things develop," Nangong Nayue quickly stopped him.
"Rest assured, I won't make the first move. But if that snake-charmer makes a move against me, then he can't blame me!" Lingyun said calmly.
