You should clarify your question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, you like men, right? And you have desires, right? This might be rude, but you seem... lacking in emotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I simply keep myself calm. Of course, I will answer your question. I am a normal, healthy woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like I worried too much... But I do want a genuine relationship with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you thought this would be an emotionless relationship where you would just have a doll as a partner? Indeed, how my emotions develop will depend on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how do you feel right now, after seeing me? I mean my appearance. Do you like it? Any relationship needs to start with mutual attraction. Personally, I really like your appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think I will answer that. But you should be confident in your looks. Even Lily is captivated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take that as you being satisfied with my appearance. As for my personality...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can rest assured. I won’t interfere if you do evil, but I won’t help either. I will only assist you in good matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine. It’s really nice to hear that from you. Now I feel more confident being your partner. By the way, I haven’t finished exploring the academy yet. Would you accompany me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\" Alexandra nodded lightly and put her veil back on, covering her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor quickly stood when he saw that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he extended his hand toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman paused for a moment before accepting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be described as incredibly soft. Even softer than soft—like her flesh was made of cotton and her bones of rubber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, it was warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pink eyes looked into Victor’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly felt something, yet hid it perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily froze with her mouth slightly open when she saw them holding hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Victor’s appearance, she couldn’t help but admit that this man truly suited her miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor stepped toward the door, and the woman followed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could protest now after seeing this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who disagreed could only swallow their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived outside, Victor saw even more people, including Lancelot, whose eyes widened when he saw Victor holding Alexandra’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evan, upon seeing this, smiled strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Russell Clan members seeing Alexandra for the first time, they were captivated by her graceful aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should tell your people not to follow. I’m not used to having many attendants,\" Alexandra said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Victor nodded with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a subtle signal to Evan and Alisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both immediately understood and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor glanced at Lancelot again, who seemed too intimidated to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the academy, it was common for students to walk around in pairs, holding hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor and Alexandra’s relationship was an arranged engagement. But it seemed Alexandra had accepted it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Lancelot couldn’t say what he had said to Bella—that he felt aroused by Victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many places in this academy. You probably won’t be able to visit everything. Is there anywhere that interests you?\" Alexandra asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think anywhere is fine. It’s always interesting as long as you’re with me,\" Victor replied, unable to resist teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexandra glanced at him, seemingly unable to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the slight movement of her ears, Victor felt she had pressed her lips together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without teasing, how else could he stir her emotions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor walked forward, and Alexandra followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she simply matched his pace as he wandered wherever caught his interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many branching paths and numerous open classrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed by, even the teachers were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Victor saw a massive ten-story library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building resembled a tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see many students on the first to third floors, with fewer above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This library contains the legacies of alumni,\" Alexandra said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the Heavenly Library?\" Victor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s on the 10th floor, for those who possess the key. High-Level teachers, even the Headmaster, cannot enter without one. The rules apply to them as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexandra gave Victor a meaningful look after saying that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Victor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you want to enter now? Don’t you have the key?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to rush. I’m not ready to part with you yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor continued walking and soon saw an open hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word History was displayed above it, and inside were spiritual screens showing various videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\" Victor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Records of many events,\" Alexandra answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By watching battles between powerful cultivators, for example, we can gain insight. But here, everything is played randomly. If you pay, you can enter a room and choose what you want to watch. However, it costs contribution points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Contribution points?\" Victor was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You obtain them by contributing to the academy—not by completing missions or offering treasures. The way to contribute is by helping other students with their cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... that sounds difficult for me to obtain.\" Victor knew this wasn’t his strong suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can use mine.\" Alexandra gave an unexpected answer, and a green jade appeared in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It emitted a glow displaying a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(164,000!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an enormous amount. If it were Spiritual Stones, it would already be a huge fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t mind sharing?\" Victor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will help you as long as it’s not for evil purposes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\" Victor smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then noticed a hill behind the hall, with stairs leading upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the top, it seemed one could view the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward it, climbing the steps with Alexandra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this short time, how do you feel? Are you happy? Are you enjoying this?\" Victor asked, looking into her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze briefly shifted away before returning to meet his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t say,\" she replied, looking aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor smiled strangely at that answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he did possess a certain charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder even Bella liked him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-03T12:49:08.808Z","2026-06-03T12:49:16.024Z",1,"novelbin.me","7fa0d6a50c350e953c299bd90c94d1fef82f2dc427fff44f83661395467708f4","my-mother-is-the-villain-chapter-38","my-mother-is-the-villain-chapter-36",74,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-mother-is-the-villain-cover.jpg"]
