Chapter 467: Did I Come at a Bad Time?
Relying on the extremely advanced surveillance system within Tianjian University's campus to track Zhang Yu step by step, Wen Wuyan gradually realized something.
Does observation have to be done in secret?
What better position to observe than to participate in it, to be right in the middle of it?
And from what she knew of Zhang Yu, as long as there was money involved, anything could be arranged.
Wasn't that just how the poor from the first layer were?
Seeing Zhang Yu backing away repeatedly, Wen Wuyan instead showed a hint of surprise, her small mouth slightly open, looking at him with some astonishment.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, looking at the slender, curvaceous "woman" before him, felt nothing but extreme awkwardness in his heart.
Of course he knew… and understood that the body in front of him was beautiful, because it was a body he himself had personally participated in designing—every measurement, every proportion perfectly matched Zhang Yu's aesthetic, a standard Earth beauty.
But the moment he remembered that the other party was actually that man Wen Wuyan transformed, he wished he could reach into his own brain and tear out all the thoughts that had just surged up, clean and clear.
And upon hearing Wen Wuyan's proposal, he flatly refused: "What nonsense are you spouting?! Don't even think about it!"
Wen Wuyan looked at Zhang Yu in confusion, then reached out and touched her own chest, saying, "Because this body isn't very pretty, I haven't used it to cultivate with anyone yet."
"But since you designed the appearance, I think you must have a thing for it, right?"
"As the designer, don't you want to try out what your own creation is like in practical use?"
Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "Stop spouting nonsense in front of me. I cultivate single-mindedly and never think about such things."
"Is that so?" Wen Wuyan chuckled and said, "But the thoughts of your consciousness… might not necessarily match the thoughts of your physical body."
Zhang Yu opened his mouth at that, but couldn't explain.
Because just now, when he hugged her, he had originally intended to inject the Divine Spirit Root's Green Lotus Sword Embryo into Bai Zhenzhen's body, but Wen Wuyan had clearly misunderstood.
Wen Wuyan continued, "And I can pay you. How much do you want?"
"30 spirit coins? Or 50 spirit coins? We can negotiate."
Zhang Yu refused: "Enough! I have no interest at all in what you're talking about. You'd better leave. I don't want to see you."
It wasn't that he had no interest at all—Zhang Yu had to admit, when she mentioned the prices of 30 or 50 spirit coins, for a fleeting moment, he was tempted.
Kunxu! Look at what you've turned me into!
At that moment, Zhang Yu lowered his head, not daring to look at Wen Wuyan, and thought to himself: "That bastard Wen Wuyan! Corrupting my will with money, actually making me waver for a second!"
"Not for a second." Hearing Zhang Yu's inner shouts, Fuji now said to herself: "Just now, Zhang Yu was tempted for at least three seconds."
"It's practically insane." Fuji shook her head and sighed: "What's there to hesitate about?"
"Go for it!"
Fuji said, bitterly disappointed: "Wen Wuyan is a Nascent Soul disciple, and she's even paying you. With this kind of immortal fortune, you still won't take it?"
"If she were recruiting at Wanfa University, the people who wanted to cultivate with her would line up from the 1st floor all the way to the 669th."
"And you still won't take it… Are you even a cultivator? Do you still want to get into the Ten Great Sects? When opportunity is handed to you, why can't you make use of it?"
"Zhang Yu! What exactly are you hesitating for!"
Accompanied by Fuji's questioning in his mind, Zhang Yu also felt she was right.
"Yeah, cultivating with a Nascent Soul disciple is a huge boon for most students, isn't it? Plus, I'd get paid?"
"Besides, her appearance perfectly fits my aesthetic?"
"And on top of that, given the power of a Nascent Soul disciple, she probably carries a Dao Seed, right? If we had in-depth contact, maybe I could catch a glimpse of her Dao Seed…"
"Whether it's cultivation, money, or the Dao Seed, it's all beneficial to me with no harm. So… what reason do I have to refuse?"
But Zhang Yu knew there was one… one reason he couldn't accept…
Pressed by Fuji, Zhang Yu said quietly in his mind: "But… her original sex is male. I can't accept that."
"That's it?" Fuji sighed: "You're already a junior, level 20 Dao Heart, and you still haven't overcome such a tiny mental flaw? You're stuck because a woman whose original sex is male? What difference is there between you and the trash on the first layer?"
"Zhang Yu, I'm so disappointed in you. Remember what you told me back in your third year of high school? You wanted to get into Hehuan University, and now you can't even get past such a small hurdle?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but lower his head in shame, helpless in the face of his own weakness.
"Damn it, I've already come to Kunxu, to another world—shouldn't I follow local customs, shouldn't I go along with the concepts of this world and era? How can I still be bound by the past?"
"Besides, even on Earth, in the minds of many people on Earth, this matter at hand... is not something unacceptable."
"Why! Why can't I do it!"
Fuji encouraged him: "Zhang Yu, I can already feel the unwillingness in your heart, I can feel the fighting spirit within you! Go ahead, engage in fierce cultivation with Wen Wuya! Mend the flaw in your heart! Add more momentum to your path of immortality!"
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at Wen Wuya beside him, but soon became discouraged again.
"No, I really can't do it."
Just then, a clear and cool voice came from behind.
"It seems I've come at a bad time?"
Zhang Yu whirled around and, upon seeing Bai Zhenzhen arriving, felt a slight relief in his heart. Now he finally wouldn't have to challenge himself. Azhen had always been opposed to dual cultivation and insisted on celibate cultivation—she would definitely not agree to something like "having Wen Wuya join in."
