Surrounded by the crowd, Liu Ying walked calmly towards the teaching building. When she passed the area where Wang Li and the other two were, she paused almost imperceptibly and nodded gracefully and naturally in the direction of Huo Qingfu and Wang Li, as if to say hello.

Her gaze fell on Wang Li, then moved to his face, a faint smile playing on her lips, a subtle hint of knowing and "let's see how long you can hide."

Wang Li maintained her harmless, naive, and somewhat clueless demeanor, but her mind was perfectly clear. She sighed, "Here we go again... This princess with her 'apocalyptic rebirth script' has come up with some new, irresistible tricks today. Does the royal family's education include a course on 'how to entangle a savior who just wants an ordinary life'?"

Well, in fact, since she transferred to Junshi Third Middle School as a royal exchange student, thanks to that suddenly awakened memory from a hopeless future, this was not the first time Liu Ying had such a seemingly accidental "exchange" with Wang Li at school.

At least she had tried various methods, such as "accidentally" traveling together, "humbly" asking about martial arts theory, and "unexpectedly" bumping into each other in front of the same bookshelf in the library, in an attempt to naturally approach Wang Li and start a conversation.

However, Wang Li always managed to cleverly avoid any in-depth conversations with various seemingly reasonable but actually perfunctory reasons, as slippery as an eel.

With several girls constantly surrounding Wang Li, Liu Ying's progress towards Wang Li was still incredibly slow.

But so what if the progress is slow?
Liu Ying was very confident in herself. As long as she could make progress and take small steps every day, what was there that she couldn't succeed?
Liu Ying looked up and glanced at the two girls beside Wang Li: "They will win!"

"Crisis! Crisis! A major crisis!"

In an instant, Li Yuanzhu subconsciously moved closer to Wang Li, her sweet smile unchanged, but her eyes held a more scrutinizing look.

Huo Qingfu took a half step forward without making a sound, his cold gaze acting as an invisible barrier, blocking most of Liu Ying's gaze.

Wang Li touched her nose, feeling the subtle aura rising from the two girls beside her. She glanced at Princess Liu Ying, who had regained her royal demeanor but whose ears still seemed to have a slight blush. In her heart, she once again sent the most "friendly" greeting to the "martyr Wang Li" who was messing around with cause and effect in the future timeline.

Wang Li was fully aware of Liu Ying's appearance, her attempt to "spoil" the plot, and her little scheme to "team up" with her, and it even gave her a bit of a headache.

He could even vaguely sense that the chaotic yet resilient causal lines from the future timeline were like an invisible yet incredibly sticky spider web, subtly connecting and binding Liu Ying, Huo Qingfu, and perhaps even more beings he had not yet clearly perceived to his side.

It felt like being forced into a multi-role play that I hadn't signed up for, and everyone had a different script!
The problem is that I don't have the same script as them at all!
"Martyr Wang Li" himself lies in a "long sleep" in some future timeline, unwilling to wake up and deal with the mess he made. Instead, a whole host of tangled and far-reaching causes and troubles, under the pretext of that ideological clash and power collision, are almost irrationally and indiscriminately dumped onto his law-abiding "past self"!
"You 'Martyr Wang Li,' who is slumbering in the future timeline and unwilling to awaken," Wang Li mentally ranted, her will almost solidifying into a tangible form.

"Is this how you just dump all your messy karmic entanglements, which involve countless worlds and existences, along with all these troublesome people who come knocking with strange 'scripts,' onto me? Do you know how much unpredictable trouble and trouble this has brought to me, a Saint Seiya who is striving for an ordinary life, just getting by... no, peacefully cultivating martial arts?"

He was inwardly criticizing his extremely irresponsible "self." "This princess... really," Li Yuanzhu sighed softly, "what is it about A-Li that attracts her? How come she's been hovering around A-Li every day since she came to this school?"

Huo Qingfu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, his cold gaze revealing scrutiny and growing vigilance.

In fact, as one of the most outstanding successors of the Red Dust Demonic Sect in this generation, she was more perceptive than ordinary people to the special aura that Liu Ying possessed, which she tried her best to hide but could not completely conceal—it was definitely not as simple as an ordinary member of the royal family!
Beneath that noble and elegant exterior, which is the result of the most rigorous etiquette training, there seems to be a strange power fluctuation that is extremely ancient, full of vigorous vitality and fervent desire, while also carrying a hint of unsettling devouring power.

This power system is completely different from any martial arts internal cultivation method or any mainstream supernatural path known in the world, and it is full of unknown dangers!
To gaze into her eyes is like falling into an abyss from which there is no escape!
"Ah Li, we should go to the classroom now."

Huo Qingfu withdrew his gaze, his tone still cold and indifferent, yet carrying an unquestionable air, as if reminding the princess before him.

"The first class is about to start, don't be late."

"Hehehe." Liu Ying covered her mouth and chuckled upon hearing this, then gracefully led everyone away.

There's plenty of time ahead. Ever since she awakened the [Beast of Desire], she's become increasingly inhuman. She has all the time in the world and won't care about temporary gains or losses.
At this moment, the already somewhat subtle morning atmosphere had become even more turbulent with the unexpected and clearly "prepared" reappearance of the royal princess...

The classroom was already full of students, and the atmosphere was particularly lively and excited during the short break before the morning reading session because of Princess Liu Ying's timely appearance once again.

Whispers rang out like the buzzing of mosquitoes, all revolving around the radiant royal lady.

Wang Li had just sat down in her usual spot by the window, and before she could even settle in, she heard a series of shouts and commotion around her.

"Old Wang! Old Wang! Something terrible has happened!"

Chen Li looked terrified, his round face trembling. "Last night I dreamt that I turned into a spirit pearl demon pill! Someone put me in a pill furnace and refined me with Samadhi True Fire, and there was an old man with a white beard who was no more than four feet tall next to me, fanning himself and muttering, 'Almost there, almost done! It'll be a pill soon!' It scared me to death! Do you think this dream means I'm going to die soon?"

Wang Li looked at Chen Li's appearance, her eyes twitching slightly. She thought to herself, "The fight I had last night was so bad that all sorts of monsters and demons found an opportunity to infiltrate... What is all this nonsense!"
