A World Worth Protecting

She’s crazy! Inside the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, Wang Baole ended the transmission abruptly. Li Yi’s sudden request for reconciliation smelled fishy. Even an idiot could tell something was wrong.

They all say that those with big breasts have no brains. Li Yi’s breasts aren’t big at all, so why is it that she also lacks a brain? Wang Baole snorted. He thought himself smarter than her. There was no way her sudden kindness was for nothing. Those who were friendly without reason all turned out to be robbers and rapists!

That can’t be right. Is this Li Yi trying to… Wang Baole’s mind was fixated on the image of robbers and rapists. Alarm bells immediately sounded in his head. He took a look at himself in the mirror, and his alarm grew. Li Yi must be lusting after him because of his good looks!

Where is her sense of shame! Wang Baole had a serious look on his face. He was both pleased and exasperated and concluded that good looks were as much a blessing as they were a curse. To be so good looking that people longed and lusted after him every moment of his life would be an exasperating and frustrating struggle.

Wang Baole sighed in exasperation as he pulled out a bag of chips. He started munching on his snacks as he reclined in his chair. From time to time, teachers would knock on his door, enter, then present their reports to him. In that manner, half a day passed.

The teachers in the Dao Mountain Mist Academy were divided into male and female teachers. A majority were cultivators, with the lowest cultivation at the peak of the Ancient Martial realm. They had pleasing physiques, and, as teachers of the school, their attire, like the students, was also standardized. It made the view extremely pleasing to the eye.

Even though there’s not much authority in overseeing a school, I still have a few hundred people reporting to me. It’s not much different from being a Pavilion Head in a college’s Dharmic Armament Pavilion.

Wang Baole snacked and got his eyeful throughout the rest of the day. The head of the academy’s Administrative Office, especially, was a young married woman who wasn’t yet thirty years old. Her appearance was passable. Her eyes though were especially beautiful. There seemed to be hooks hidden in them, and every time she looked at Wang Baole, he could feel himself being hooked and slowly reeled in.

He was very pleased with the current state of affairs. He increasingly felt that if the giant tree weren’t on Mars, his current situation would have been perfect.

Time passed swiftly, and before long, the sun was setting. As the school day came to an end, the students of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy began to leave for home. They continued their daily posturing and boarded their extravagant cruisers, and the sounds of cruisers dashing out of the school rose in the air.

The youth from the Trilunaris Corporation, alongside a dozen of his classmates, was one of the first few to leave school. He headed straight for the Battle-axe Hotel. They’d agreed to visit the hotel today and admire the spectacle that was the eleven grand battle-axes.

When nearly half of the student population had gone, Wang Baole left the building and prepared to head back to his residence for cultivation. It was then that an unexpected guest who had been simmering in rage the entire day arrived.

It was Li Yi!

Li Yi was actually quite beautiful. Despite her vanity and her need to carry a mirror wherever she went, she fulfilled the criteria for being a beautiful woman. Her delicate, fair skin and voluptuous figure made her an incredibly charming and attractive woman.

The view of her back was especially striking, with her perky buttocks and her ultra-slim waist. As she stood at the gates of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, her figure drew the attention of the students who were on their way home. Most of them were young men in their teens and in the prime of their youth. They were at the age of innocence, and their eyes popped out of their heads when they saw Li Yi.

Li Yi witnessed the effects of her charm and was immensely pleased. She pulled out a mirror and gazed into it, and even she was captivated by her own beauty.

She sighed inwardly in wonder at her own beauty…

The female students around her glared and shot daggers from their eyes. They felt like cheap knockouts next to Li Yi. They stared at Li Yi with hostility in their eyes, and a few who were brasher and less shy even started muttering.

“Who is this fox?”

“She’s so old. Isn’t she embarrassed to step out of her house?”

“What a fat ugly ass!”

Under the unblinking stares of the male students, and amidst the hostile looks from the female students, Li Yi stuck her chin up high and raised her voice, shouting towards the Dao Mountain Mist Academy.

“Wang Baole, come out here!” Her Foundation Establishment realm cultivation boosted the volume of her voice and made it sound like thunder. It rumbled and spread outwards. The surrounding students froze in surprise, a look of curiosity and interest immediately appeared on their faces.

Wang Baole had just walked out of the office building when he heard her voice. He looked over and, past the crowds of departing students, saw Li Yi standing outside the school gates.

She resorted to wearing such skimpy clothes just so she can win me over and have my beautiful body to herself? She actually came looking for me? Wang Baole instantly went on high alert. He touched his round face and smacked his forehead. He was troubled and realized he needed to end this farce, once and for all. He headed for the school gates.

Wang Baole arrived at the gates. He ignored the students who had turned curious onlookers and didn’t give Li Yi a chance to speak. He spoke in a serious voice.

“Li Yi, I know I have a great physique and a handsome face. I’m not only one of the Federation’s hundred seedlings, but I’m also unrivaled amongst cultivators at the same cultivation realm. My potential and genius surpass everyone in the entire Federation. Even the Federation President said that I’m a prodigy, but I’m not an unprincipled, wanton person with no standards!”

The students around him widened their eyes when they heard what Wang Baole had just said. They stared at Wang Baole with incredulity, then turned and looked at Li Yi. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing and hearing.

“Is Dean Wang praising himself? Is he turning her down?”

“That’s just too shameless…”

“The missy called Li Yi didn’t even say she likes Dean Wang!”

Li Yi was equally taken aback. She almost couldn’t control her temper and was on the verge of blowing up. Wang Baole’s words, when taken the other way, seemed to imply that she was the one who was unprincipled, wanton, and had no standards!

She soon fell into uncertainty and doubt, though. While what Wang Baole had said was indeed infuriating, it did reflect her true intentions to a certain extent. After all, she had come here so that she could use Wang Baole to practice her mystic art. She took a deep breath.

“Wang Baole, I…”

“You don’t have to speak another word!” He waved his hand. His eyes were filled with exasperation and frustration. They swept down Li Yi’s face and her well-endowed figure before he coughed and continued.

“I know what you want. Alright, I hope this will kill whatever ideas you have in your head.” Wang Baole sighed and took a big step forward. The students around them watched, flabbergasted, as Wang Baole came right up to a lost and confused Li Yi, opened his arms wide and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Li Yi’s eyes widened immediately. She was about to struggle her way out of the embrace and give Wang Baole an instinctive smack when she remembered her plan and her objective. She sucked in a breath of air. Her body trembled, but she reined in her feelings of intense dislike and disgust and tried to control herself.

The scene roused a commotion amongst the students who hadn’t yet left school. They found the sight of Li Yi and Wang Baole together unbelievable. This was beyond their wildest imagination…

“My god, are my eyes seeing this? Our dean is just too amazing!”

“Such a pretty missy is actually actively pursuing…”

“There’s no justice in this world!”

As commotion stirred amongst the student body, Wang Baole copped a feel as he hugged Li Yi. It felt kind of nice. He wanted to continue but realized he didn’t want Li Yi to take advantage of him, so he released her hastily and said coolly.

“You’ve already hugged me. You can go now.”

Li Yi was cursing in her heart. She almost started to regret her decision, but she thought of the mystic art and gritted her teeth. She was going to wing it. She lifted her head and tried to soften her gaze. She parted her lips and was about to speak.

It was then that Wang Baole’s voice transmission ring suddenly vibrated. He lowered his head and checked the transmission. Anger instantly flashed across his face, his eyes burning with fury.

Tearing down my battle-axes?

The sender of the transmission was Xu Zhenjing of the Battle-axe Hotel. His voice sounded anxious in the transmission as he informed Wang Baole that Li Wuchen of the Fire Spirit Academy had led quite a big group of his students to the hotel. They intended to tear down the battle-axes. He couldn’t hold them back for long and hence had sent out this call for help.

Li Wuchen, what a foolhardy idiot you’ve become! Wang Baole was furious. He was about to charge off when his eyes glanced over at Li Yi, landing on Li Yi’s voluptuous body. He threw a casual remark over his shoulder.

“Li Yi, I know you’re lusting after my great looks. I can give you an opportunity to share a bath with me. I’ll acknowledge your sincerity if you buy me one of every snack available on Mars!”

Wang Baole ignored the subsequent, louder commotion that stirred in the student body as well as Li Yi’s widened eyes and her shuddering body. She appeared to be extremely agitated by what he had said. He turned, retrieved and boarded his cruiser, then sped off towards the Battle-axe Hotel.
