Chapter 164: What a Blockhead!

Ever since Miao Xiaomiao was admitted into Qingshui High, she has been putting in her utmost effort to locate the presence of the heartworm but to no avail. Not even when Ling Yun was at her side.

This was probably due to the fact that Ling Yun had already ascended to the peak of Level Three. The immortal spiritual energy had merged with the Dragon Aura inside of him, forming a combination too strong for anyone to sense the presence of the heartworm in him.

Even so, it did not mean that Miao Xiaomiao would not recognize Xue Meining out.

It was no secret that the Golden Silkworm was the cream of the crop in the world of immortal spiritual worms. The Golden Silkworm has seen Xue Meining as well, en route to seek the Master Physician Xue.

Sharing that same trait, Miao Xiaomiao was able to find a relation between Xue Meining and her immediately.

They have the same grandfather, Master Physician Xue Zhengqi. Both of them have inherited his tall built and exceptionally long and appealing legs.

There was a slight difference between their seemingly similar eyes. Xue Meining’s pupils had a distinct contour, exhibiting a sophisticated and educated personality when you looked into them. As for Miao Xiaomiao, her eyes would twinkle whenever she smiled brightly, making it so hard to stop looking at her.

“She’s so lucky to be able to keep Grandpa company!” Miao Xiaomiao was envious.

As for Xue Meining, she stood at the classroom door, staring confusingly at Cao Shanshan. Slowly, her well-featured face displayed a tinge of angst.

As she locked eye contact with Miao Xiaomiao, she was shocked. She froze. Wondering how this lady could be so gorgeous?

“Brother Ling Yun…” Xue Meining acted sassily as she looked in the eyes of Ling Yun. It worked. Ling Yun smiled as he stood up, excused himself from Cao Shanshan and he headed for the exit.

“Ning Er…” Ling Yun replied with a bright smile on his face, showing his teeth as he put his arm around her shoulder.

At the side, Cao Shanshan bit her lips as she felt disappointed and reluctant. She was satisfied as she had finally won Ling Yun’s favor after all the obstacles. However, a formal excuse from Ling Yun was enough to send her mood and effort to the bottom of her heart. She was devastated!

Initially, she assumed Ling Yun would ask her out for lunch. Or hug her from behind. Never did she expect him to break her heart by abandoning her to eat with Xue Meining!

Ling Yun had never made any promises or requests to Cao Shanshan. It was a drastic change from the level of intimacy they were having earlier. To Cao Shanshan, she might seem less close than a stranger to Ling Yun. Depressed, she crossed her elbows and laid them on her table, where her eyes gazed in the direction of the door.

“Slow and steady wins the race! No rush!” She consoled herself.

On the other side of the classroom, Zhang Ling offered to treat Miao Xiaomiao lunch.

It took the new student less than a period to gain Zhang Ling’s favor. There was no way to deny Miao Xiaomiao of her beauty and elegance.

“I’m new here and I’ll require your guidance in future. I’ll treat you instead!” Miao Xiaomiao replied.

“Xiao Miao, I would usually eat lunch with our class monitor Cao Shanshan as well, so… let me do the treating!” Zhang Ling gazed at her best friend before turning back to Miao Xiaomiao. She was embarrassed to let Miao Xiaomiao treat Cao Shanshan too.

“It’s fine. I get what you mean but do not worry it is just a meal! After all, she is my class monitor too, I’ll need her help as well. I’ll treat both of you!” Miao Xiaomiao saw the bigger picture and stayed firm to her decision.

Zhang Ling appreciated the newcomer’s considerate and benevolent intentions. Her admiration for her grew.

“Let’s go and ask her! She was in a very good mood earlier, maybe she would treat us both!” Zhang Ling uttered.

As Miao Xiaomiao followed Zhang Ling as she walked in Cao Shanshan’s direction, so did the eyes of the guys in the class.

“Hey! He has left for quite some time already! Why are you still looking?” Zhang Ling tapped Cao Shanshan’s shoulder, after observing her in a trance.

What was on Shanshan’s mind were the daring gesture she shared with Ling Yun during the lesson, that had both of them aroused satisfyingly.

“What?!” Shanshan ranted as she was disturbed by Zhang Ling.

“My dear class monitress, we have a new classmate today! Shall we welcome her by treating her to a meal?” Zhang Ling blinked at her bestie.

Feeling embarrassed for looking out of sorts, Cao Shanshan eagerly raised her hand out to introduce herself, “Hi Miao Xiaomiao, I’m Cao Shanshan. You are so pretty…” the class monitor said.

“Hi! You’re prettier than me! I saw the both of you near the school gate last night,” Miao Xiaomiao followed back with a compliment at Cao Shanshan.

Nodding her head, Cao Shanshan volunteered to treat both Miao Xiaomiao and Zhang Ling to lunch.

When these three ladies walked around the school compound, Miao Xiaomiao’s figure never failed to attract the guys’ attention and girls’ jealousy.

“Wow! How can someone look so beautiful…”

“Cao Shanshan has been displaced! She’s so much better!”

“Sexy outfit, good facial features and a voluptuous and well-proportionate figure! She’s breaking the scale!”

“She’s simply the girl of my dream…”

“I cannot take it anymore! I’ll return to my hostel first…”

The guys were drooling at the sight of her. They found it incredible to witness such a beauty in the school.

Knowing she could not compare with Miao Xiaomiao in terms of looks, Cao Shanshan was too engrossed about Ling Yun to give any attention to the newcomer. Being the Campus Belle was no longer her priority anymore. After all, she had been beaten by Lin Menghan, Murong Feixue and Zhuang Meifeng already.

…

“Brother Ling Yun, why are you sitting beside Cao Shanshan?” Xue Meining probed enviously as she hugged on tightly to Ling Yun’s elbow.

“Oh… I’ve been skipping class lately, so my form teacher chose to have her sit beside me in order to supervise on me,” Ling Yun answered half-heartedly as he laid his head comfortably on Xue Meining’s chest.

“Wait! So you two will be sitting side by side from today onwards?” Xue Meining gave a death stare at Ling Yun, implying a warning to him.

“I guess so…”

“I’m mad! What is wrong with your form teacher?! Of all people to supervise you, she had to choose Cao Shanshan?!” Xue Meining lamented as she started stomping her feet.

“You cannot have any feelings for her!” Xue Meining added furiously. She was not as generous as Zhuang Meifeng to share her beloved man with anyone else.

“Alright! But Ning Er, wasn’t I only acting as your boyfriend? Why do you have to care so much?” Ling Yun got curious.

Shocked by his sudden question, Xue Meining was at a loss for words. She realized that although she had developed real feelings for Ling Yun, this dumb bloke in front of her had no idea the acting had stopped.

“Ling Yun, Qing Chuan has already told me he will not disturb or bother me anymore…” Xue Meining dropped hints on Ling Yun, hoping he would get it.

However, Ling Yun being the relationship idiot he was, only understood the part that he had acted successfully. Now it is time for him to ask for some benefits!

“That’s great! Since I’ve done my part, how are you going to reward me, Ning Er?” Ling Yun questioned.

“Reward you?!” Xue Meining could not believe the words that had come out from his mouth. He had hugged and kissed her profusely in front of the crowd previously. Was that not luxurious to be deemed as a reward? Or had he forgotten all about it?

Ling Yun felt too embarrassed to insist on getting a reward, especially after looking at Xue Meining’s flabbergasted expression.

Thus, he politely sent her a reasonable request, “Ning Er, how about this? I want to set up my own clinic and I was hoping if you could get your grandfather to make me a Chinese Medicine practitioner certificate. Do you think that will be possible?”

‘Sure! You dumb bloke!” Xue Meifeng ranted as she could not believe how stupid Ling Yun was to not get her hint.

“It’s quite urgent,” Ling Yun only had two matters on his mind. One was to level up and the other was to buy a villa for his mother and sister. Thus, he hoped to earn as much as he could in the shortest time possible.

Xue Meining was infuriated. She had been trying to get all romantic to present herself to Ling Yun, yet all he cared for was a professional certificate.

“I’ll get it done within three days, alright?” Xue Meining grumbled. her death stare seemed even more fatal.

“That would be great! Thanks so much, Ning Er! Anyways, I have something on now, I’ll need to go. You enjoy your meal!” Ling Yun made his move immediately after achieving his aim.
