Chapter 337: Easily Amused

In the afternoon, Bai Wei went to Izumi Dojo, which had been deserted for over a week.

In the gaze of many people who had been waiting for a long time, he began today’s lesson.

As he gained insights into his own spiritual state, he inadvertently revealed a bit of his martial arts skills and taught some practical combat techniques.

It was mainly Bai Wei who noticed that this group of young children had fiery tempers. Each of them had scratches and bruise marks on their bodies, indicating that they must have been involved in fights with others.

He would never get involved in such fights with children, unless someone came to challenge him.

The disciples of the martial arts academy didn’t encourage fighting outside, as using martial arts for wrongdoing went against their principles. Learning to control one’s fists was an important lesson in self-restraint.

Bai Wei, a skilled martial artist, taught these young teenagers personally. Today, he was especially strict, and he even deliberately lightly tapped the bruised areas on some people’s bodies with a bamboo stick.

As they infused their true qi, it was painful, but the pain served as a sign that the true qi was starting to take effect. Soon, it would promote blood circulation and remove stagnation, though it would also make them endure some hardship along the way.

After learning a few moves, they would start pretending as if they were skilled fighters. However, they often suffered great losses. Those who excel in their fists may die by their fists, and those who excel in swimming may drown in water. Not everyone is like Wang Chao, that strange and perverse person, capable of fighting in street brawls and becoming invincible throughout the world.

The boys learned their lesson. Bai Wei waited until it was almost dark and then spoke a few words of wisdom to them. He made them stand in punishment for fifteen minutes before finally allowing them to leave.

Bai Wei was once a mentor, with rich teaching experience. He knew how to deal with this group of children. Using both carrot and stick was necessary, with the aim of guiding them rather than punishing them.

In his opinion, in order to completely eradicate this trouble, it is necessary to increase the intensity of training and exercise.

The young ones are full of energy, so they should be given a good play around, just like a Husky. If you don’t want it to bounce around, you have to exhaust it, take it out for a walk or a run. Otherwise, all that energy will have no outlet, and it will either bother its owner or start destroying the house.

Every dog owner becomes a member of the walking party.

It was truly an exciting torment between them.

…

That night, Bai Wei returned home to find his sister not there. He didn’t feel like cooking either. It was hard to muster the courage to cook and reward himself when he was alone. With someone else at home, no matter who it was, he would think of ways to come up with recipes. But when he was alone, he didn’t care much about it.

He made a bowl of noodles, indulgently cracked two eggs into it, and casually satisfied his stomach.

After that, he arrived at the tea house, sat cross-legged, and entered a state of deep meditation and dreams.

The spiritual world’s ocean waves rise and fall, as consciousness traverses through space, embedding itself in an anchor point and logging in.

…

Michelle was lying in bed, unwilling to get up.

It was already 7 o’clock in the morning, but she didn’t want to get up. Clutching her pillow, she rolled around in bed.

"Mmm…"

The alarm clock rang for the seventh time and she reluctantly sat up, turned off the alarm, and gave her cheeks a pat.

"Okay, today is another day without any hope."

Mr. Devil hasn’t come yet, it’s been nearly ten days.

Why doesn’t he come?

Does he dislike me?

She won’t, right? Michelle is so well-behaved and obedient. Wasn’t our last conversation not very successful?

Mr. Devil has even started to respect my personal wishes. Isn’t this a wonderful beginning?

Then I could gradually learn what kind of person Mr. Devil is, perhaps listen to his story, know about his past, and understand each other on a deeper level. And then, and then…

She sat by the bedside, holding her right hand with her left.

One day, just like being able to touch one’s own hand, she touched Mr. Devil’s hand and felt his warmth.

Because he was so mysterious, he was mysteriously enticing, making it irresistible for people to be curious and wanting to uncover his secrets.

But it wasn’t just curiosity, she also wanted to take it a step further.

Even if they couldn’t meet in person, she still wanted to get closer, closer in spirit and physically too.

This was Michelle’s deepest curiosity buried deep in her heart, and it was her unspoken desire that burned fiercely within her.

She thought it would be a good start, but little did she know that for over ten consecutive days, Mr. Devil remained completely silent.

It was completely different from what she had imagined!

Why? What did I do wrong? Even scolding me once would be better, but completely ignoring me is too hurtful.

Mr. Devil, don’t you want the prize anymore?

Michelle had never been ignored and left for more than ten days before. Although she had known Mr. Devil for less than two months, not seeing him for consecutive days, not feeling his presence, and not hearing his voice made Michelle feel completely drained of energy.

The Devil Dependence Syndrome has become very severe, and is currently in the period of manifestation.

At first, busy with dealing with various miscellaneous matters and the aftermath caused by events both on and off campus, she had some things to do. But as ten days passed and the turmoil gradually subsided, she also returned to her normal campus life. At this point, she felt that killing time was so difficult and tormenting.

In the past, with Mr. Devil by her side, everything she did, including reading and studying, became twice as effective. Her mental focus reached an extreme level, as she had become accustomed to having someone standing behind her for a long time, watching over her, which directly boosted her efficiency.

But now, the school library had opened up all kinds of books for her, yet she found herself forcing to read just to pass the time.

Alena had many words pent up inside her, but nowhere to release them. This made her feel like a suppressed volcano, appearing calm on the surface, but nearing the point of eruption. Even Alena mentioned that she had been easily angered lately, suspecting that it might be due to her approaching monthly cycle.

Michelle said, "Dragonborn doesn’t have a menstrual cycle, does it?"

Alena said, "Selvicer, your mood has been just as bad lately. You both have similar expressions. Did you have a fight?"

Michelle shook her head. She only caught a glimpse of Judy from afar and could indeed sense her bad mood. However, she was also feeling the same way and hadn’t been concerned about Judy’s thoughts. On the contrary, her sixth sense told her that if they were to collide, the small volcano in her heart might erupt.

Just like every day, she had to get up, go to class, and then study on her own.

The little girl looked like a zombie Tyrannosaurus rex, as she brushed her teeth in front of the mirror with weak and lifeless movements.

She put on her clothes and was slowly buttoning them up one by one. But she realized that she had buttoned them wrong, so she started undoing them and tried again, but still got it wrong.

Michelle, "…"

Dragonborn was feeling very down, her face drooping. If she were an orc instead of a Dragonborn, her ears would have pricked up like a puppy who couldn’t find its owner.

"Ah, it’s only been a few days and you’ve already caught the ‘workaholic virus’?"

A voice echoed.

Michelle was taken aback, thinking at first that she was hearing things. Then, she cautiously asked, "Mr. Devil?"

Bai Wei stood inside the room and said, "Hmm?"

"Wow, you’re really here!" Michelle jumped up happily, not even noticing that her buttons weren’t done up properly. As she jumped, the wind blew open her dress, revealing her fair skin, chest, and stomach. She leaped toward the direction of the sound, only to find herself landing in empty air.

Almost she nearly fell down on the ground, tumbling headfirst like an onion.

Bai Wei supported her gently, like lifting the belly of a small animal, and softly guided her back onto the sofa.

"Big Miss, you must pay attention to your appearance."

"No, I want to act coquettishly with Mr. Devil for a while."

"Don’t push it, I am not your parents or elders, we have a cooperative relationship."

"Um, um," she sat on the sofa, giggling.

I completely stopped listening to "…".

"Okay," Bai Wei gently tapped her forehead with his finger, "Take out the golden tree seed and resin."

Michelle immediately nodded, opened the cabinet, and took out the golden tree seeds and three large jars of golden tree resin. Using her magic spell, she carefully sealed and packaged them.

Bai Wei raised his hand, and the golden tree seeds and resin fell into his palm. As they touched his soul, a gentle burst of golden light blossomed.

It is authentic.

After inspecting the goods, they placed the two items into the spiritual world’s ocean. Mysteriously, they could now cross the spiritual world’s ocean for transportation without needing to rely on the Four Seas Logistics.

Michelle started to feel anxious, and she asked cautiously, "Mr. Devil, are you going to take these and never come back?"

Bai Wei chuckled, "You’re being too optimistic. I have invested so much, these can be considered as mere interest, still far from the principal amount."

Michelle felt a great relief and a smile returned to her face. "That’s good to hear. I couldn’t afford to repay the principal, you know."

In reality, Michelle had many questions she wanted to ask, but after hearing Mr. Devil’s voice, everything seemed unimportant. All her little quirks no longer had any effect in front of him.

Michelle quickly buttoned up her clothes, then washed her face, and the lively girl came back with energy.

With the charging complete, she was bursting with energy, feeling absolutely great!

"Mr. Devil, what shall we do today?"

"Anything is fine. I don’t have any plans for today," Bai Wei said. "Out of mutual respect, I will now explain the reason for not coming to see you for more than ten days. I have been quite busy and unable to attend to matters here. It involves some personal issues that I cannot reveal, I hope you can understand."

Michelle stood there, momentarily stunned with a cute and innocent expression on her face. And then, she felt a warm sensation in her chest, as if a fiery ball was burning inside.

Confusion, discontent, blame, doubt, feeling wronged, anger… The emotions that had been building up for over ten days, like a dormant volcano on the verge of erupting…

It erupted.

It was a dud.

The volcano had run out of magma, so what it might have spewed out were probably just hot springs and gentle rain.

She couldn’t describe it very well, but at this moment, her mood was even better than before, better than putting on new clothes as an adult, sweeter than the first taste of ice cream, happier than the first victory over a strong enemy. Every tiny crack of discontent in her heart had been filled. She felt that she truly held a special place in the unseen Mr. Devil’s heart, and she had earned his respect. Just this alone made her overwhelmed with joy.

Bai Wei took notice of every expression on her face.

…was really easy to please.
