Back at Maple Forest Villa, gazing at the table laden with dishes, Jiang Nan’s drool was practically pouring out!
No matter how good it was outside, nothing beat home. After spending a full half hour washing his hands in the bathroom, Jiang Nan finally sat down to eat!
Just as he reached for the chopsticks, his little face darkened. His left hand was still stuck with the middle finger raised!
He was left-handed. How was he supposed to hold chopsticks?
He had no choice but to pick them up with his right hand and try clamping a piece of cumin chicken from the plate!
He struggled for ages and still couldn’t get it!
Zhong Yingxue snickered. “Why are you eating with your right hand? That middle finger on your left won’t go down, will it? What sort of weird prop is this now?”
Xia Yao pouted. “Hmph hmph hmph~ I knew something was off! And you still tried to trick me into wearing the ring…”
But then she thought better of it, and her pretty face flushed!
A… a little try-on would be alright!
It was a ring, after all. It had special meaning!
Jiang Nan looked utterly guilty. After all this time together, did they have to know him this well!
“Um um! It’s just like this. My left hand’s inconvenient, and I’m not used to the right…”
Zhong Yingxue smiled. “No need to struggle. I’ll feed you. Here! Ah~”
She picked up a piece of chicken, cupped her hand underneath, and brought it to Jiang Nan’s mouth!
Jiang Nan: (͡°ᴗ͡°)✧ Yes!
Hee hee hee hee!
Wow! Am I just a bit too blessed?
Ah~ (⁼̴̤̆ヮ⁼̴̤̆๐)
Xia Yao looked suspicious. With Little Nan’s skill at splitting bullets with a blade or slicing apples with a halberd, how could he possibly not manage chopsticks with his right hand?
She reckoned he just wanted to be fed!
Hee hee~ Then she’d indulge his little scheme!
She promptly picked up a piece of crispy cartilage and fed it to Jiang Nan. “Here~ Ah~”
Jiang Nan: (๐ˇヮˇ) Ah~
No helping it!
Life as a winner was just this dull and monotonous!
Hee hee hee hee!
“Where’s Xiong Er? Haven’t seen him.”
Xia Yao snickered. “That girl in the Lolita frilly dress, the one called An Xiaoqi, she’s been asking Xiong Er out for barbecue and cartoons all this time!”
Jiang Nan blinked!
Xiong Da and Xiong Er, those two brothers, were doing alright for themselves. Careers booming!
Found themselves aluminium girlfriends and forgot big brother!
Hmph hmph!
Hang on, wait?
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up. “So tonight it’s just the three of us in the villa?”
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue exchanged a glance, their little faces turning pink!
“Um… you… are you planning to take this chance to do something?”
Zhong Yingxue felt her heart about to leap out of her throat!
Jiang Nan looked dead serious. “Of course! Rare opportunity, we’ve got to do it! Otherwise if it’s too loud and Xiong Da and Xiong Er find out, how embarrassing would that be?”
Zhong Yingxue: (˵˃̵﹏˂̵˵)
Xia Yao: (⑉•ꇴ•⑉)
Both of them blushed bright red!
Xia Yao’s earlobes were scarlet, her palms sweating from nerves!
Hea… heavens!
Too loud? Did it have to be that intense?
Had Little Nan finally come around? Was he about to…
Zhong Yingxue looked down, twisting her fingers, eyelashes fluttering. “B… but I’m not mentally prepared yet~”
Jiang Nan was stunned. “Isn’t it you who said you’d tutor me? What mental preparation do you need for that?”
If the tutoring got too loud and Xiong Da and Xiong Er heard, how embarrassing would that be?
How could big brother here slack on studies? He had to set a good example!
Did he have no face?
Zhong Yingxue’s little mouth hung open as she stared at Jiang Nan in shock, her pretty face like a red-hot branding iron, a puff of white smoke rising from her head!
She covered her face and bolted upstairs with quick steps!
“I… I’ll go get the tutoring notes for you!”
Jiang Nan scratched his head. “No need to rush, we haven’t even finished dinner!”
Zhong Yingxue dove into bed, pulled the quilt over her face, utterly mortified!
She’d thought Little Nan was going to…
Aaaah! So embarrassing!
“Big Langmie? Xuexue’s gone to get the notes. You feed me then! I…”
Xia Yao ground her wolf fangs, pounced like a tiger, seized Jiang Nan by his fateful neck, and locked him in a powerful hold!
“Stinky Little Nan! Tonight I’ll tutor you all night long! Keep you from sleeping at all!”
As she spoke, she ground her chin hard into Jiang Nan’s crown!
Jiang Nan was choked until his eyes rolled back. He could already feel her tutoring enthusiasm!
No need to be this forceful!
After dinner and tidying up, Jiang Nan returned to his room. Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue had gone to prepare the tutoring notes!
Every semester at Pioneer Academy held ranking battles!
Combining written exams and practical combat to rank the year!
The top hundred in the year got rewards. Like Xiao Zhen, who’d been year first for three years straight, collecting spirit beads and contribution points every month!
It also reshuffled class rankings this way!
Jiang Nan was currently in Class 10. After the ranking battles, all students’ places in the class were added up. The class with the lowest total ranked highest!
Higher-ranked classes got more monthly cultivation resources!
It was personal, but also collective!
Every student took it seriously!
Jiang Nan had nothing to worry about in practicals. The main issue was the written exam. He’d been out adventuring too long and fallen way behind on coursework!
He couldn’t help looking forward to tonight’s tutoring!
It was bound to be extraordinarily spectacular, right?
Jiang Nan didn’t idle either. While he had time, he pulled out the griffin egg!
He hadn’t fed it spirit energy for days. Tonight he decided to stuff it full!
Cradling the egg like an old mother hen, Jiang Nan crawled into bed, tucked in the quilt, left his head out, and started pouring in spirit energy!
In an instant, an incredibly powerful suction burst forth, startling Jiang Nan!
His whole body’s spirit energy drained in minutes. He hurriedly ate durian flesh to replenish!
He felt a pang of guilt. Look how starved he’d left the poor thing?
Yet half an hour passed, and the absorption showed no sign of stopping. It grew even fiercer!
The egg in his arms trembled constantly, as if the little creature inside was repeatedly bumping the shell!
Jiang Nan’s eyes shone bright with excitement!
Was it about to hatch?
After incubating over a month, it was finally coming out?
How could Jiang Nan stop? He held the pose and kept supplying spirit energy!
Go on! Eat your fill!
I’ve got plenty of nothing but spirit energy!
At that moment, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao came in with the notes. Seeing Jiang Nan burrowed in again incubating the egg, they couldn’t help laughing!
Jiang Nan looked dead earnest. “I might be about to give birth!”
The two exchanged a glance, faces full of shock. After a month incubating, it was finally happening?
They too were hugely looking forward to the birth of the little life!
It had shown such spirituality even before hatching. Who knew what it would be like once out!
“Hee hee~ Keep incubating. Tutoring still has to happen!”
“I’ll fetch the little stools!”
So they brought small stools, sat by the bed, spread the notes on the quilt, and tutored Jiang Nan!
And tutored all through the night!
Next morning, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had washed up and were ready for class. Jiang Nan was still incubating!
“Aren’t you coming to class?”
“The written exam’s in a few days. You can’t fall further behind!”
Jiang Nan covered his face. “But I can’t leave right now. Here it comes again! I felt it kick me. It’s about to hatch!”
“You two go ahead. I’ll figure something out!”
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had to head to the classroom first, both inwardly sighing that incubating really was hard work!
The moment they entered the classroom, they jumped at the sight and nearly cried out!
On Jiang Nan’s seat “floated” a head!
It was Jiang Nan. He’d opened a space wormhole and stuck his head through!
Body at home incubating, head here for class. Was this alright?
Did he have to be this dedicated!
What sort of godly move was this!
He’d weaponised space wormholes, alright?
The classmates all stared at Jiang Nan in horror!
“Blimey~ The academy’s unbelievable incidents are about to get a sixth!”
“Nan God? What’s going on? Are you cosplaying Xingtian with your body?”
“Oh ho ho~ First day back and already this thrilling? What’s your body doing on the other side of the wormhole?”
“Haha, surely not something weird?”
Jiang Nan pursed his lips. “Filthy! Your minds are all rotten!”
“I’m creating a little life! I genuinely haven’t got time to spare!”
“Ya~ Kicked me again?”
At those words, the class fell dead silent. The students stared at Jiang Nan in horror!
He really was creating a little life?
Did he have to be this strong?
Even like this and he still came to class?
This devoted to learning?
And it kicked him? Probably complaining he wasn’t focused enough!
My heavens!
Yu Qingqing pointed at Jiang Nan, eyes wide!
(･᷄口･᷅๑)—☞
“Xuexue, Yaoyao! Aren’t you two going to do something about Nan God? He… he’s actually right in front of you two…”
Xia Yao blinked. “Creating a little life is very important! I fully support Little Nan!”
Zhong Yingxue nodded. “Exactly! Little Nan’s working so hard creating a little life. I need to make him some good food to nourish him!”
At that moment, the lads were dumbfounded. Their gazes toward Jiang Nan were already like looking at a deity!
A deity was a deity, alright!
This worked?
How on earth did you manage it?
Leng Yan covered her face. “Scum Nan! Ptooey!”
