Zhan Long Meeting the goddess again

Entering the training grounds, I could see two people sparring in the distance. Their swords clashed repeatedly; what’s more, both were not using the fake competition-use swords; they were using swords like Xiao Hei – plain, heavy, large swords!

One of them was wearing black outerwear, his appearance looking very imposing. His lips slowly formed a smile. Just one slash of his blade rendered the opponent’s attack useless. He carried the aura of a winner. There’s no need to think hard about it; this person is my employer, the legendary CEO of Tian Xi Corporation!

Wang Xin brought me to the front, shouting: “Director Lin, I’ve brought the person I introduced!”

The person stopped his blade, turned around, and smiled. “Leader Wang! You’ve arrived at last. Let me see this person you’ve personally recommended. You’ve praised him a lot, now show me what he’s made of!”

Wang Xin pointed at me, saying: “This is the person I’m talking about – Li Xiao Yao. Xiao Li, this is the CEO of Tian Xi Corporation, Li Tian Nan; you should introduce yourself.”

Lin Tian Nan looks at me, eyes devoid of any feelings. He extended his hand and smiled. “Young One, nice to meet you!”

I stretched my hand out in return. “Nice to meet you too!”

Luckily, no excessive strength was used when he shook my hand. If not, it would have been a blood bath!

The person in white beside Lin Tian Nan looks at me and smiles arrogantly. “What can someone like him do?” he says.

Leader Wang smiled and answered: “Once you test him, you’ll find out.”

Lin Tian Nan consented, saying: “Li Xiao Yao, this is my third brother, Lin Feng. Third Brother, why don’t you test this guy’s skills?”

Lin Feng nodded his head, walking forward with his sword in hand. “Do you know how to use guns effectively?”

“Of course, I’m experienced in long-range and near-range combat.”

“Can you use a sword?”

“Yes, I’m experienced!”

“Good, then let’s see your sword skill.”

Saying that, Lin Feng raises his broadsword, eyes full of contempt. The two bodyguards brought a large cement tile over. The tile also had a steel bar in it, but luckily, it started to rust.

Lin Feng smiled, saying: “One slice of the blade to cut it in half. Can you do it?”

Saying that his blade swung down, and the sword made a loud clang sound. The cement tile split into two and fell to the ground.

Leader Wang praised him: “Excellent, excellent. Li Xiao Yao, it’s your turn to try.”

I walked up calmly, receiving the brand-new sword from Lin Feng. Smiling, I swung the blade down. Ka cha, the blade slices the cement tile into two cleanly.

Lin Feng looked slightly shocked, saying: “Good, let’s carry on then!”

Lin Tian Nan said otherwise. “Third Brother, you no longer have to test. Li Xiao Yao is way stronger than you.”

“Big Brother, what do you mean?” Lin Feng was puzzled.

Lin Tian Nan walked forward, pointing at the blade. He then responded: “Third Brother, although you did indeed slice the cement tile in two, your blade chipped a little. Look at Li Xiao Yao’s sword. It’s the same material, but he was perfectly fine after he cut the tile in two. Do you understand the difference between the two of you now?”

Lin Feng was stunned. “Why is this?”

Lin Tian Nan smiled slightly and replied: “You used brute force to slice the material in two. He, however, controlled the blade with his internal energy, allowing it to flow into the blade and split the tile into two. It wasn’t the blade of steel that sliced the tile but his internal energy. Do you understand? Okay. Li Xiao Yao, since Leader Wang introduced you, I don’t have to check your morals and qualities. Tomorrow, you’ll accompany my daughter and enroll in Liu Hua University. You'll also be a first-year since she’s attending her first year. I’ll send someone to help you get admitted into the University this afternoon.”

“Liu Hua University… Year One…”

My mind was mangled. “Mister Lin, I’m already 25 years old. Don’t you think it’s unsuitable for me to join as a Year One student?”

“There’s no problem. You might have the vibe of an elder, but you can always have a young heart!”

“…”

Just like that, we left the training grounds, my Xiao Hei still on hand. Sitting in the police car, Leader Wang instructed: “Liu Hua University is a renowned upper-class university; honestly, it’s costly. I’ll tell you first your school fees are all handled by our department’s resources. However, you can expect your death if you finish the semester with seven red marks!”

I felt remorseful for accepting. “I don’t want to continue this life anymore…”

“There’s no escape; if you break your promise, I’ll ensure you’re locked up for ten years!”

Since it was a new job, I was still feeling unaccustomed. The 10000RMB I got from Leader Wang was kept safely in my hands. I’ll find an apartment near the University. Whatever happens, I will deal with it as it comes.

Carrying my luggage with me, I walked up to the front of the University. From afar, the school environment looked pleasing. Xiao Hei in hand, I walked around the campus grounds before entering one of the housing districts beside the campus. I looked around a bit before seeing an advertisement on an electricity pole. Dialing the number, I soon found myself knocking on the apartment door. Not long after, a 100kg woman walked out and smiled happily. “You’re looking at the apartment. Come in!”

The moment I entered, I knitted my brow. There were melon peels all over the living room, which was fine. However, the alarming part was a used Durex condom lying on the floor. The first thing I thought of was disgusting. Disgusting!

“What’s the condition at night like here? Is it noisy?” I questioned.

I must be careful about this. The previous situation was unbearable; it was as if they were mentally challenged before living there.

Especially since every day, I hoped that the 34D beauty was my next-door neighbor. I got a pot-bellied old uncle who played the Er Hu until 3 a.m.!

It was still bearable last week, but it turned into something horrible this week!

Every day, I worked morning, afternoon, and night shifts. When I returned home, I still had to endure the pestering of this stupid old man. If the ocean could wash away my worries, I hope it will wash away this old man first.

Delved deep into my thoughts, the landlady brought me back to reality by saying: “The conditions aren’t too bad; it isn’t that noisy. You should enter the room and see for yourself.”

I nodded my head and entered the room. Just as I entered, I could hear a bed squeaking next door. There were occasionally moans from a woman as well. As I listened, my face flushed a full spectrum of red. I’m sorry, I can’t handle it since I haven’t had a girlfriend yet!

“How much do I have to pay?” I asked.

“Three-room flat, the final apartment, I’ll charge 400. I’ll take a three-month deposit on top of that, so a total of 1600RMB!” The landlady replied.

I shake my head: “That’s too much, right? Look at the state of this place. You still want to charge 400 a month?”

“This place costs this much; even if you go to other places to look, you’ll still get this price. It’s not expensive at all, think about it yourself. If you don’t want it, I’ll give it to someone else instead.”

Knitting my eyebrows, I walk up to the window. Once I lifted the curtains, I saw a nude woman happily humming in the opposite building.

Immediately, I turned around and said: “I’ll take this place!”

I casually woke up the following day, dressed, and carried a small bag out. I’ll use this place as a home for now.

The 25th of August was the admission day for Liu Hua University.

When I reached the school gate, tons of people were already around.

My phone sounded. It was Leader Wang, asking me to wait for him at the right side of the gate. Meeting up with him, I looked at the crowd and asked: “Leader Wang, about the person I need to protect, what kind of person is she exactly?”

Leader Wang smiled deeply, answering: “I’m not too sure, but according to rumors, Lin Tian Nan’s daughter is super beautiful, even more so than those stars on TV!”

I nodded my head. “That’s good…”

Soon after, a Lincoln stopped by, and a female student exited the car, surrounded by several bodyguards. She entered the school grounds from quite a distance away. The man walking in front was a man I knew. It was Lin Feng.

As the crowd made its way, a beautiful girl wearing a short skirt walked up, tugging a luggage. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. A beautiful and captivating face appeared from within the crowd, and very quickly, she garnered the crowd's gaze. She widened her pair of precious eyes, staring at me sternly. “So it was you…”

My body trembled a little, and my heart clamored: “How in the world could it be her again? The person I need to protect is the 34D Goddess again! I’m done for; this life is over for me.”

Lin Feng smiled, saying: “Oh, you guys know each other? Li Xiao Yao, this person you need to accompany to the University is my elder brother’s precious gem, Lin Wan Er! Wan Er, come and meet the new student!”

Lin Wan Er walks forward, dragging her luggage as well. Her short skirt fluttered in the wind, and her mysterious snow-white pair of legs were exposed. Her face brimmed with a captivating smile, and she happily said, “Li Xiao Yao, nice to meet you.”

This one line of formality was supposed to sound pleasant, yet I could only hear the faint sounds of a murderer. It’s August, and the days are supposed to warm, yet my entire back shivered. My god, my future is gone.

Nodding my head, I say: “Wan Er, nice to meet you…”

“Come on, let’s go register.”

She grabbed my collar and dragged me to administration. At the same time, she stole glances at the black bag in my hands, asking: “What’s this?”

“It’s my dining partner!”

“Mm…”

34D Goddess, no, Lin Wan Er smiles, turning back quickly and waving at the bodyguards. “Okay, I’m fine now; you guys can return now. Third Uncle, you can leave as well!”

Lin Feng and the bodyguard team left for tea while Lin Wan Er dragged me around. Since I hadn’t studied at a university before, she helped me greatly.

Arriving at the registration counter, Lin Wan Er hands the admission notice, saying: “Chinese department, Lin Wan Er, as well as… oh. Chinese department, Li Xiao Yao.”

When the teacher-in-charge raised his head, his jaw dropped. Saliva spewing, he said: “Oh, you’re placed in the first female dorm. Do you need me to show you the way?”

Lin Wan Er smiles, her eyes sparkling wide: “There’s no need. Can you tell me Li Xiao Yao’s dorm number? I’ll have him accompany me, and I should be able to find the way myself.”

The teacher-in-charge wiped his saliva, saying: “Li Xiao Yao is placed in the second male dorm; you two are quite close together.”

“Oh, thanks, teacher-in-charge.”

“Lin Wan Er, please leave me a message…”

Entering the first female dorm block, Lin Wan Er’s dorm room was on the fourth floor. Seeing as there was no one, I carried her bags up the stairs, helping her place her things down. After that, I said: “Miss Lin, you should give me your number so it’s easier to contact you.”

“Okay!”

After swapping numbers Lin Wan Er opens her suitcase. She took out two helmets, one white and one red. She took the red helmet and passed it to me, saying: “Here, this is for you.”

I was shocked. “This… this is the “Destiny” headgear, right?”

Lin Wan Er replied: “Dad says to let you play this game so you can watch over me in the other world, too. You should understand already, right?”

I nodded my head, taking the helmet. Then, I asked: “Miss, do you hate me?”

Lin Wan Er bit her lips, looking deeply into my eyes, and her arms folded. Her twin peaks showed, and she smiled, saying: “This question, I’m not too sure how to answer, so I’ll answer you with my actions in the future. Go on, go back to your dorm.”

Exiting the female dorm, I held the red helmet tightly. It’s a limited edition one, too! My heart fluttered as I thought: “Damn it, who cares if you hate me? My path to conquering “Destiny” cannot be blocked!
