Chapter Seventy-One: Long Time No See, I Miss You Deeply

“Oh, well, who do we have here? Isn’t this the famous Chen Bo from Tianyang Academy, whose name is spreading like wildfire today? Why are you keeping your head down? Come on, come on, lift your head so the instructor can get a good look at you.” As soon as Yu Shifei walked in, her words dripped with sarcasm directed at Chen Bo.

The other freshmen in the class immediately felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment. They had no idea that Chen Bo had peeped at Yu Shifei while she bathed, forging a grudge between them. Instead, they assumed Yu Shifei was interested in Chen Bo. After all, greeting someone so directly upon entering—that must mean she’s taken a liking to him, right?

Damn it, this shameless pretty boy! The group cursed him inwardly, glaring at Chen Bo as though he’d stolen their wives.

Of course, Chen Bo had no clue what these guys were thinking. If he did, he’d spit in their faces! Which of your eyes saw this crazy woman fancying him? Her tone clearly hinted at wanting to kill him!

Now that Yu Shifei was an instructor, her status alone was enough to suppress Chen Bo, not to mention her strength, which was probably hundreds or thousands of times greater. How could Chen Bo afford to ignore her words now? If he gave her any reason, he’d suffer for sure.

He had no choice but to raise his head, flashing what he believed was his most handsome smile. “Instructor Yu, long time no see! I must say, I’ve missed you quite a bit!”

“Is that so? What a coincidence—I’ve been thinking about you lately too! Especially your performance on the arena a few days ago; it really made my heart race! How could Chen Long act like that? So excessive!” Yu Shifei exclaimed indignantly.

Only Chen Bo understood her real meaning—she hated Chen Long for being so useless, for not beating him to death.

But in everyone else’s eyes, this was pure flirting, openly bullying their single selves. Damn it!

“Wow, I can feel the wild power inside the goddess Yu about to go berserk. The streamer is in danger, retreat! Retreat!”

“Wow! Goddess Yu truly lives up to her name. Just one look and I’m utterly bewitched. I can’t take it—I need to watch some emotional films from a certain country.”

“Hey, take me with you! I’ve got twenty film seeds. How about it? Shall we binge together?”

“Wait, are you a girl? I heard lots of girls have guy-on-guy seeds in their computers. The imagery is just too intense—I can hardly bear to watch!”

“I’m already imagining it! Ah, my eyes! I’m blind! But why do I feel a strange thrill inside?”

“You’re already bent, my friend. Here, I’ve got a straight pill—take it and you’ll instantly revert to being straight. Just a thousand bucks, you won’t be scammed!”

“It’s getting dirty in here! I’ve got a packet of stain remover, who wants some? Free!”

“I’ve always wondered—has the streamer seen every inch of goddess Yu? Did he even see her private parts?”

“Damn it, you idiot upstairs—mention that again and I swear I’ll beat you to death!”

Chen Bo smiled bitterly in his heart. “Heavens, are you all still hung up on this? My life is hanging by a thread—I can practically taste the murderous intent. If I make a wrong move, my head will roll in the next second!”

“And you’re all here joking around, chatting? The ship of friendship can capsize at any moment. There’s no love left in this world, sob sob.”

“Streamer, you totally brought this on yourself! If you hadn’t gone to the woods to train, you wouldn’t have run into the goddess bathing.”

“That’s right—if you hadn’t run into her bathing, you wouldn’t have peeped, and you wouldn’t have gotten caught red-handed.”

“It’s all your fault, so you bear the consequences. Besides, are we really gloating? Are we? Hahahaha!”

“Hmph! You stinky men—it was that seductive fox who lured the streamer. If not, why would he peep at her bathing?”

“Caught a brainless fangirl! And a cute one, too! The streamer’s in for a treat!”

“I hear brainless fans have low IQs—just a finger beckon from the streamer and they’ll strip naked and lie in bed, ready for the picking.”

“Wow, is it that good? Maybe I should shoot a film, cultivate a bunch of diehard girl fans, and then party every night!”

“Such ambition! I’m giving you a silent thumbs-up. Oh, by the way, though girls rarely speak up here, you’ve just angered them.”

Sure enough, the guy who talked about nightly revelry was immediately mobbed by a bunch of girls. Their level of cursing made Chen Bo sweat—they managed to insult him without a single dirty word, yet left him depressed enough to cry.

Moreover, their words carried a delicate charm, instantly capturing the hearts of countless men. So, a group of guys and girls teamed up to tie up that fellow and take turns roasting him.

Chen Bo looked at Yu Shifei, who wore a half-smile, half-smirk. He felt so awkward he didn’t know what to say; at times like this, silence was best. Yes, silence! Otherwise, one wrong word and he’d be in trouble.

Seeing Chen Bo turn into a mute, Yu Shifei lost interest. But the days were long, and there’d be plenty of chances to deal with him. Never before had anyone dared to peep at her bathing! And he’d peeped at her disciple too!

“Achoo!” Chen Bo’s nose suddenly itched and he sneezed. When he saw Yu Shifei’s fierce glare, his heart was filled with caution.

This woman was surely not harboring any good thoughts—she was probably plotting how to get rid of him.

For example, tricking him out of Tianyang Academy and settling things with a single sword.

Or having him refine equipment using an extremely unstable elemental flame, causing the furnace to explode and reducing him to ashes, hair and all.

Or waiting for him to descend the mountain and secretly kicking him hard, sending him rolling from the summit—ten lives wouldn’t be enough to survive that.

Damn, thinking it through, he realized there were so many ways she could kill him! Damn it, could she really be planning to do just that? Should he await his doom, or await his doom? Such a difficult choice.

But unexpectedly, Yu Shifei ignored Chen Bo and began her lecture, focusing on the basics of equipment refinement and sprinkling in her own insights. The audience listened, entranced.

“First, you must understand the origins of refining! In ancient times, a great figure named Lu Ban suddenly attained enlightenment one day…”

“Refining is…”

Of the group, only Chen Bo was nodding off. These things had already been implanted in his mind by the system; he could recite them backwards if asked.

Still, Yu Shifei’s teaching was lively—no wonder she could be an instructor. And she was easy on the eyes, too.
