Chapter 37: Scheming Bu Fengshuang! Xu Chen Is Speechless! ((3/10)
Bu Fengshuang's beauty was unparalleled, her bearing extraordinary.
Many young men, upon seeing her, were instantly filled with awe.
"What a beautiful woman, and her talent for array formation is so transcendent!"
"Look at her; her figure is light and graceful, and she moves with an innate, refined martial art."
"Such a woman, I only heard of her this month; the Array Academy hides its treasures well."
The crowd gazed at Bu Fengshuang, their eyes filled with admiration.
Such a genius in the art of arrays is truly rare in the world.
Even Xu Chen, with his Fifth-Rank physical body, and Ye Xuan, who cultivates both alchemy and martial arts, still fell slightly short.
Xu Chen pondered silently: in his past life, Ye Xuan had the help of the Spirit Venerable, which allowed him to break Bu Fengshuang's arrays before she had risen to prominence.
It was precisely because of this that Bu Fengshuang had developed feelings for Ye Xuan.
Now that the main plot trajectory remains unchanged, Bu Fengshuang will likely soon favor Ye Xuan.
Hmm, he felt quite gratified this time; it was rare to see a normal female protagonist.
He stretched his arms. According to the rules, the champion of this academy tournament would receive a promise from the Palace Master and the Empress.
As long as the request was not excessive and fell within their control, anything would be acceptable.
At that moment, Shangguan Luoyun looked at Bu Fengshuang and said calmly, "What are your demands? Arrays, array discs, cultivation techniques, martial arts—I can fulfill them all."
"If you do not desire these, any spiritual herbs or elixirs within the academy may also be gifted to you."
Shangguan Luoyun noticed that Bu Fengshuang had completely ignored Xu Chen just now, and her favor toward her increased instantly.
Excellent; if she does not fight for her man, then she is the best.
Luo Shen also felt a slight inner joy; although Bu Fengshuang was a female protagonist, she had not paid the slightest attention to Xu Chen.
In that case, she naturally had to offer some rewards.
Therefore, Luo Shen also nodded and said, "Within reason, all imperial resources can be considered."
Bu Fengshuang said seriously, "If I make a request, will both the Palace Master and the Empress fulfill it?"
Her beautiful eyes moved gently, her voice sounding like heavenly music.
The two women nodded simultaneously: "As long as it is not excessive and we possess it, naturally, we can."
Bu Fengshuang said calmly, "Then, may I request a person?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Luoyun silently praised her; indeed, a powerful teacher is more important than anything.
With a teacher, what need would there be to fear a lack of resources?
Therefore, she waved her wide sleeve: "Any Elder within the academy, including myself, you may ask to be your master."
"If you feel one master is not enough, two, or even ten, are acceptable."
The Empress also praised, "This young girl has far-sighted vision; our Imperial Family is also willing to provide you with a Grandmaster of Arrays to solve any problem for you at any time."
"Your talent in arrays has stirred my heart to cherish and love talent; speak."
After speaking, she pondered that by helping Bu Fengshuang so much,
surely Bu Fengshuang would come to work for her Heavenly Venerable Imperial Dynasty after graduation.
Her action was killing two birds with one stone.
Even Xu Chen, upon hearing this, nodded: "A good female protagonist; she thinks of nothing else but self-improvement."
Such noble character and dedication are quite rare!
The other female protagonists, seeing this, also felt their favor toward Bu Fengshuang increase greatly.
Excellent, excellent; she only wants to cultivate, unlike those other little bitches fighting them for Xu Chen; I love it, I love it.
Let us swear sisterhood; Bu Fengshuang, you are worthy!
Upon hearing this, Bu Fengshuang's expression remained calm as she said, "Palace Master, Empress, if I speak now, you must not go back on your word."
Shangguan Luoyun and Luo Shen smiled lightly: "Once a word is spoken, even four horses cannot catch it."
A mere Grandmaster of Arrays or a sect Elder; how could they not afford to provide them?
Even if Bu Fengshuang asked for ten, they would not have blinked an eye.
Bu Fengshuang nodded: "I want him!"
Having spoken, Bu Fengshuang extended her right hand, her jade finger pointing toward a certain area.
In an instant, a yellow beam of spiritual energy, devoid of any attack power, shot forth from her hand.
Finally, this beam of spiritual energy struck her target directly.
Everyone followed the direction of the light and soon saw that person.
The next second, everyone exclaimed, "It's Xu Chen!!!"
At that moment, the entire crowd gasped, mouths slightly agape.
Damn! We thought you wanted a formation grandmaster or an academy elder or something.
Who knew it would be the handsome Xu Chen!
Xu Chen: "..."
He was nearly driven mad.
Is this girl really so scheming?
Just now, when she saw him, she truly set up the formation immediately without saying a word.
With that cold expression, he thought he owed her money.
But then she turns around and wants him?
Big sister! Don't take me, take someone else!
You guys keep asking for this and that, but I don't have a clone technique!
I'm done for!
He had almost forgotten that Bu Fengshuang is the type who is ruthless and speaks little.
That move just now deceived everyone, especially Shangguan Luoyun and Luoshen.
Look how happy they were; they were practically offering themselves up.
At this moment, Shangguan Luoyun and Luoshen appeared calm on the surface, but secretly gritted their teeth.
That little bitch actually tricked us; how infuriating...
Now, how should we handle this?
PS: Third update! Begging for all kinds of stats!!!
At this moment, both Shangguan Luoyun and Luoshen harbored silent resentment in their hearts.
I was careless; this Bu Fengshuang is also a little bitch.
This little bitch has very likely awakened memories of her past life.
Otherwise, she would not have so firmly pinned everything on Xu Chen.
Shangguan Luoyun's expression turned slightly cold: "Silence! You have just entered the Palace, yet instead of striving for progress, you only think of finding a Dao companion?"
With such a state of mind, what propriety is there? What future remains?"
The Empress also spoke in slight anger: "At such a young age, you should not learn bad habits. How could you start thinking of men? This Emperor advises you not to take the wrong path."
They gritted their teeth; since they had already agreed, it was hard to refuse now.
But how could they fulfill this little bitch's wishes!
If we give you Xu Chen, what will they breathe?"
Damn it, in the past life, this little bitch was very scheming and had countless plots.
Just now, they were deceived by this little bitch's convincing acting. Tsk.
Bu Fengshuang was stunned: "But the Palace Master and the Empress said, once a word is spoken, even four horses cannot catch it."
Moreover, the matter of a Dao companion is a personal affair for a young lady like me."
Most importantly, how do the Palace Master and the Empress know I will step back after having a Dao companion? Could I not step forward instead?"
These three sentences instantly choked Shangguan Luoyun and Luoshen.
Damn it, this little bitch really knows how to talk!
Xu Chen also rubbed his temples. To be honest, Bu Fengshuang was the most talkative and scheming of all the female leads.
When she roamed the continent back then, Bu Fengshuang never suffered a loss.
Every time, she played others in the palm of her hand while remaining completely unscathed herself.
Even when trapped in dire straits, it was still the same.
Finally, Shangguan Luoyun took a deep breath: "If you want Xu Chen, you must also ask Xu Chen's opinion."
Empress Luoshen nodded: "Indeed, we cannot force a match. If Xu Chen does not like it, you may propose other demands."
Bu Fengshuang showed a smile, then turned to look at Xu Chen: "Xu Chen, what is your opinion?"
Hearing this, Xu Chen's eyes immediately lit up.
My opinion?
Then, of course, I will refuse!
He didn't even want to get close to Li Ruoling, Shan Qianqian, and the others, let alone someone with your high intelligence?
Who knows what changes in the plot will occur if you, Bu Fengshuang, get close.
His idea was to crush it immediately, eliminating any possibility of collapse.
Therefore, Xu Chen said calmly: "Miss, you admire me?"
Seeing Xu Chen speak, Bu Fengshuang's eyes reddened slightly: "Young Master, you are peerlessly handsome and cultivate both body and martial arts. Fengshuang admires you."
Xu Chen clicked his tongue. Just speak, why are you crying now?
He continued: "But we do not know each other, so let it be."
Your talent is extraordinary, and your beauty is unparalleled. You can find someone else entirely."
For instance, Ye Xuan, who cultivates both alchemy and martial arts. He is only a little bit inferior to me."
Hearing this, the veins on Ye Xuan's forehead bulged.
What do you mean by 'only a little bit inferior'? Can you even speak properly?
Hearing this, Bu Fengshuang immediately frowned: "He is not handsome, his character is poor, and his strength cannot compare to yours."
Ye Xuan: "..."
Damn it, why does it always feel like he gets shot while lying down, and he is always the one hurt?
Also, why do all the goddesses always go to Xu Chen?
Most importantly, why does every goddess look down on him?
It is ridiculous that every goddess looks down on him; we haven't even met before, okay?
Xu Chen clicked his tongue. With you saying that, it seems Ye Xuan is inferior to me in both inner and outer beauty!
Xu Chen immediately said: "No, I have no feelings for you. Give up."
He thought that refusing Bu Fengshuang in front of everyone would surely make her angry and ashamed.
Something like 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; do not mock the poor youth,' you should arrange that quickly.
However, Bu Fengshuang remained calm: "It does not matter. There will be feelings later."
After speaking, Bu Fengshuang showed no expression, remaining perfectly calm.
Xu Chen: "..."
Why are these female leads so persistent?
Help, this is already the twelfth one.
If the next dozens are all like this, can I still live?
He said coldly: "There will be no chance. Do not waste time. I do not want to crush you."
Bu Fengshuang said lightly: "The person I like, I will not give up easily."
After speaking, she looked at the Empress and the Palace Master: "Please allow me to seek Xu Chen at any time, and Xu Chen must not refuse the right to see me."
Hearing this, the two women thought this was much better than directly demanding Xu Chen.
Anyway, Xu Chen will ignore you, so just allow it.
Therefore, Shangguan Luoyun sighed: "Since that is the case, very well. Xu Chen, did you hear?"
Xu Chen's face twisted in pain; he could only nod reluctantly.
With that, Bu Fengshuang smiled sweetly, instantly radiating boundless charm.
Her jade feet moved lightly, crossing dozens of meters in a single stride; in the blink of an eye, she had returned to the Array Academy area.
The crowd silently marveled at such speed and such a beautiful figure.
Even a goddess like her was captivated by Xu Chen. Sigh.
Xu Chen felt a massive headache. What on earth should he do with these twelve heroines next?
