Just as the two of them were talking, a man suddenly interrupted. “Your Highness, Yu Huang, I bought water for you two.”

“Fourth Brother, why didn’t you teach your little disciples illusion techniques?” Yu Huang glanced at the water held in the crook of Feng Yuncheng’s left arm. There were a total of two bottles, one pure mineral water and one lemon water.

In the academy’s supermarket, a bottle of mineral water required one point, and a bottle of lemonade required two points. Points were even more precious than spirit stones to students, and they were generally unwilling to go to the supermarket to buy mineral water and drinks.

Feng Yuncheng’s cultivation level was weak, so it was even more difficult for him to earn points.

Pursuing a girl was indeed expensive.

How could Feng Yuncheng not hear the ridicule in Yu Huang’s words?

However, he pretended not to understand Yu Huang’s meaning. He said, “Illusions are boring. I’ve been more interested in boxing recently, so I want to watch and learn from the side. I bought water for you guys. Want some?”

“Drink.” Yu Huang reached out to take the bottle of lemonade. Feng Yuncheng immediately raised his right hand and slapped the back of Yu Huang’s hand. He said, “The lemonade isn’t yours.” Feng Yuncheng handed the bottle of mineral water to Yu Huang. “This is yours.”

Yu Huang took the mineral water and held back her laughter. “You gave me mineral water and gave Beatrice lemonade. Fourth, it’s not good to treat people differently.”

Feng Yuncheng stole a glance at Beatrice.

Seeing that Beatrice was arranging her boxing gloves with her head lowered and didn’t even look at him, he muttered to himself, “How can it be the same? You are Grand Master Sheng’s wife, and Her Highness is my future wife. Good things must be left for my wife.”

However, he didn’t know that he had actually said this out loud.

Thus, Yu Huang and Beatrice heard it.

Beatrice suddenly looked up and stared at Feng Yuncheng. Her beautiful sea-blue eyes lost all their warmth in an instant. They looked like two cold and lifeless sea-blue gems.

Anyone who was stared at by such a pair of cold eyes would feel afraid.

Yu Huang was also frightened by Feng Yuncheng’s bold words. Why was this fellow so bold today?

Feng Yuncheng also realized that he had said something wrong. His handsome face instantly turned pale, then flushed. He stole a glance at Beatrice and saw that she was looking at him expressionlessly. Feng Yuncheng’s heart suddenly raced.

“I…”

Feng Yuncheng was about to explain when he suddenly heard Beatrice say, “Feng Yuncheng, it’s better to think before you speak. Don’t say anything ambiguous that will cause misunderstandings.”

The uneasiness in Feng Yuncheng’s heart suddenly turned into unwillingness.

“Don’t you feel my feelings for Your Highness? Everything I said was heartfelt.” He didn’t deny it. Instead, he admitted it.

Feng Yuncheng had long been unable to hide his feelings for Beatrice. It was impossible for Beatrice not to notice. However, Feng Yuncheng had always been a coward. Beatrice thought that Feng Yuncheng would retreat after hearing her words. Unexpectedly, not only was he unwilling to let it go, but he also admitted it in public.

Feng Yuncheng’s actions made it difficult for Beatrice to flare up.

Beatrice stared at Feng Yuncheng angrily for a few seconds before suddenly saying, “You like me?”

Feng Yuncheng nodded. “I like you.”

Beatrice raised her tongue and her chin. She suddenly picked up the boxing glove in Yu Huang’s arms and threw it at Feng Yuncheng.

Feng Yuncheng hurriedly grabbed the glove and heard Beatrice say, “Don’t use spiritual power. If you can withstand ten punches from me and stand in front of me to say that you like me, I’ll give you a chance to pursue me.” Beatrice looked at Feng Yuncheng from head to toe and said in a disdainful tone, “I only accept the pursuit of the strong. I don’t like weaklings.”

Feng Yuncheng hugged his boxing gloves and stared at Beatrice’s strong arms. He subconsciously swallowed hard.

The merfolk were born with great strength. Beatrice had been fighting all year round and insisted on doing special training every day. Her physical fitness was stronger than that of most men. Even Mo Yuelou would probably find it difficult to withstand ten punches from her.

As a man, Feng Yuncheng was only 1.76 meters tall. He looked about the same height as Beatrice.

The thin and handsome him gave off the feeling that he needed to be protected.

Not to mention taking ten punches from Beatrice, it would probably be difficult for him to even take three punches.

Unknowingly, the students in the activity room silently leaned towards the southwest corner. They stared at Feng Yuncheng’s weak and thin body and were very curious as to whether Feng Yuncheng would agree to Beatrice’s request.

“… Okay!” Feng Yuncheng’s clear voice revealed determination and paranoia.

Beatrice suddenly stopped arranging her gloves.

She glanced at Feng Yuncheng’s chest coldly and snorted. “I won’t show any mercy.”

Feng Yuncheng said, “Please do your best.”

Beatrice nodded and led the way to the arena that was covered in soft cushions.

This was the first time Feng Yuncheng had worn boxing gloves, so his movements were a little clumsy. Yu Huang noticed Feng Yuncheng’s nervousness. She came to Feng Yuncheng and picked up the gloves in his arms to help him wear them.

“Actually, you can choose not to accept the challenge. Her Highness is very strong. You won’t be able to take it.” Yu Huang couldn’t bear to see Feng Yuncheng being tortured by Beatrice.

Feng Yuncheng said, “But I like her. Whether she’s cold to me or ignores me, I like her very much. What’s the saying?”

Feng Yuncheng started to move his body. He said softly, “If you like someone, all you can see is her.”

“In the beginning, I thought that liking her was my business alone. It didn’t matter if she didn’t reciprocate my feelings. But I didn’t know that liking her would make me ambitious. I like her, so I naturally yearn for her to reciprocate my feelings.”

Feng Yuncheng smiled at Yu Huang. “She finally responded to me. I have to seize this opportunity.”

This was the first time Feng Yuncheng had revealed his feelings for Beatrice to others, which stunned Yu Huang.

She knew how Feng Yuncheng felt about Beatrice, but she didn’t expect Feng Yuncheng to like Beatrice to such an extent.

“Then go. Even if you’re defeated, as long as you’re still breathing, you have to crawl to her.” Yu Huang hammered Feng Yuncheng’s chest and said, “I wish you all the best!”

“Thank you.”

Feng Yuncheng started jumping on the spot.

Beatrice was getting impatient. She rolled her eyes and said, “What are you waiting for? Are you a man?”

Feng Yuncheng immediately stopped and walked firmly to Beatrice with heavy footsteps.

Beatrice had already warmed up. As soon as Feng Yuncheng stabilized himself, she mercilessly swung her fist. But just as the fist was about to touch Feng Yuncheng, Feng Yuncheng suddenly shouted, “Wait!”

Beatrice quickly retracted her fist.

She frowned and scolded, “What are you doing?!”

Feng Yuncheng took off his gloves and his chain glasses with one hand. When he looked up again, his eyes had lost the cover of his glasses and became sharp and clear.

The bespectacled Feng Yuncheng had the handsomeness of a refined stuck-up. When he took off his glasses, he looked aloof.

Those who didn’t know him would think that he was a big shot.

However, those who knew him would know that he was like a paper tiger. He was timid and narcissistic.
