Chapter 39: One's Experience Points Are Free—Speak Out Loud, "I Can"

"Of course that includes you. Teacher Xin is a part of this class too, isn't she?"

Lu Wenwu replied with a smile, not looking back as he organized stacks of homework assignments. He didn't need to look to know that it was Xin Shengzhu who had arrived.

This woman... Or rather, this female ghost could not possibly resist seeking him out. After all, she had been harboring ulterior motives toward him since before he even enrolled this morning. Throughout the day, her favorability rating had somehow climbed to 50. She was only 10 points away from the "close friend" level of 60.

"Then I am truly looking forward to it," Xin Shengzhu said with a hint of resentment. "There are only one hundred spots available every day; it's too hard to snatch one, and I don't have that many Spirit Coins."

"If you want to eat, you only need to tell me. Do you really think I would refuse?"

Lu Wenwu turned around, his eyes sweeping over the female ghost, whose perfect figure was accentuated by her leather outfit. He blinked. Under the weight of his aggressive gaze, Xin Shengzhu subconsciously stepped to the side. Her black leather jacket concealed her fair, deep cleavage, hiding away the magnificent view.

"You brat... I suspect there is a double meaning to your words." Xin Shengzhu barely managed to regain her composure and hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, where is Maomao? I haven't seen it since noon."

"Maomao? It's off having fun at home," Lu Wenwu said with a chuckle. "Why, does Teacher Xin want to visit my place?"

"Your place?" Xin Shengzhu was a little confused. "You mean the school dormitory?"

Lu Wenwu shook his head. "Of course not. I meant my actual home."

"You... you have mastered spatial abilities!"

Only then did it dawn on Xin Shengzhu, her red lips parting in surprise. At this moment, she was far removed from the cold, frosty queen-like persona she projected during the day. Her cool, sophisticated demeanor had vanished completely.

"Spatial ability? I suppose so," Lu Wenwu didn't deny it. "It's not that hard; you just need hands." Actually, you didn't even need hands; it was just a matter of mental intent.

"..."

*Just need hands...*

Xin Shengzhu was choked up by Lu Wenwu's casual showboating, momentarily at a loss for words.

"How about it? Want to go see it? Don't be afraid, my place is huge, and there are plenty of fun things to see."

Lu Wenwu suddenly leaned in, closing the distance between them until there was barely a fist's width left. The rich scent of male pheromones, accompanied by his warm breath, washed over Xin Shengzhu’s body, giving her an instantaneous sensation of being electrocuted.

Her fair cheeks turned crimson in an instant. Like a startled fawn, she tried to retreat, only to bump into the wall behind her. Lu Wenwu had already anticipated this reaction. Or rather, he had seen it coming the moment they met that morning.

This Xin Shengzhu was still a novice; she clearly had no experience in such matters. Judging by her current state, she seemed quite pure-hearted. And while the hunger she displayed toward him was indeed driven by primal biological impulses, it was clearly not about engaging in the "ultimate harmony of life." Lu Wenwu had seen that look many times before. It was simple: she was ravenous.

Xin Shengzhu was craving Lu Wenwu's lean, muscular body. Ghosts possessed an extreme hunger for human flesh; otherwise, they wouldn't have put humans on their menu. Among all the players, Lu Wenwu, who practiced body refinement, was naturally a delectable treat, much like the legendary meat of a monk.

*You want to eat me, but since your skills aren't up to par, you'll be the one eaten by me instead.* Although the two types of "eating" were quite different, there shouldn't be any issue with that, right?

Lu Wenwu had no qualms about this, nor did he feel any guilt. His tastes were not only free-spirited but also very open. Furthermore, he was a chaotic-neutral thrill-seeker who enjoyed excitement. Xin Shengzhu had practically delivered herself to his doorstep!

Lu Wenwu's fan-like left hand blocked the back of Xin Shengzhu's head, while his other hand grasped her long, strong palm, his thumb rubbing against the center of it. Standing at one meter eighty, Xin Shengzhu was completely enveloped by Lu Wenwu’s towering, powerful frame. Looking up, she was confronted by his robust pectoral muscles, which could barely be contained by his white elastic tank top.

"Teacher, why are you so careless?" Lu Wenwu whispered gently into her ear, exhaling a puff of hot air.

*Whoosh.* The tips of Xin Shengzhu's ears turned bright red. She felt her body growing increasingly weak. The hand that wasn't being held pushed against Lu Wenwu's chest, but it had no effect at all.

"You... let me go!"

Xin Shengzhu tried her best to keep a straight face, attempting to maintain her authority as a teacher. Beyond that, two small mouths suddenly opened in the palms of her hands, revealing sinister white teeth that flashed like steel blades.

"You! If you don't let me go, I... I'll bite you! Defying a teacher and violating school rules—I'll drain your blood dry!"

Seeing this eerie sight, not only was Lu Wenwu not afraid, but he became even more excited. *Oh my, triple the pleasure! Are you threatening me or rewarding me?*

Xin Shengzhu's weak "threat" reminded Lu Wenwu of a charm-type skill called "Thug’s Excitement Punch." The current situation seemed quite similar. He let out a loud laugh and used his left hand to tear off his own shirt, revealing a body of incredibly lean and solid muscle. As his qi and blood circulated, his robust muscles began to twitch slightly.

Lu Wenwu moved even closer to Xin Shengzhu, his body pressing against hers.

"Come on, Teacher, bite right here," Lu Wenwu said, pointing to his powerful pectorals. "Compared to an egg pancake, you want to eat me more, don't you?"

The surging qi and blood, combined with flesh tempered to a crystal-clear state, made Xin Shengzhu feel dizzy. In the eyes of a ghost, Lu Wenwu's actions were no different from shoving a golden, crispy fried chicken into the face of someone who had been starving for half a month. That scent, which was intoxicating to the extreme for a ghost, bombarded her central nervous system, causing her to lose the ability to think. She felt everything was a blur, acting entirely on instinct.

"I... I... I want to... no, I don't... I..."

She inhaled deeply, intoxicated, unable to form a complete sentence.

"No, you do. Don't lie to yourself."

A smile curled the corners of Lu Wenwu's mouth as he decisively activated his spatial teleportation. Without a hitch, the human and the ghost were simultaneously transported to his hidden cave dwelling within Lingtian Mountain. Taking another living being into a blessed land required that they have no intention of resistance, not even on a subconscious level. Therefore, the fact that Xin Shengzhu was able to enter along with Lu Wenwu spoke for itself.

Maomao, who was in perfect sync with Lu Wenwu, chewed on its dog food and thoughtfully helped close the cave entrance for the pair, before heading off into the forest to frolic.

The heavy stone door masked every sound that should—and shouldn't—have been made. It also blocked out all prying eyes.

A beautiful night had already begun.

It was just a shame that one couldn't be sure if there was reproductive isolation between humans and ghosts...
