Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 96 Dilemma, Price, and the Descent of the Gods

Ikehira's mind went completely blank.

This life, the previous life.

This was an experience he had never had in both of his lifetimes combined.

Qian Renxue's lips were warm and soft, and the hot breath she exhaled from her nose brushed against his cheek.

It turned bright red instantly!

But Qian Renxue was not satisfied. She pulled Chi Ping into her arms and kissed him even more unrestrainedly.

Suddenly, Chi Ping felt something warm, soft, and moist enter his mouth.

His pupils dilated, and his mind trembled! He shoved Qian Renxue aside.

Without a second thought, Chi Ping immediately activated his teleportation ability.

Qian Renxue felt the lingering warmth in her arms, licked her lips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and had a fierce flame burning in her eyes.

She whispered, "You're mine, and you can't escape!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, both seeing extreme shock and a hint of gossip in each other's eyes.

Ikehira was forcibly kissed by a very beautiful woman!

This is absolutely huge news!

The two walked out of the garden and came to stand in front of Qian Renxue.

Zhu Zhuqing cleared her throat, forcibly suppressing her curiosity, and asked in as calm a voice as possible, "Miss, may I ask what your relationship is with Chi Ping?"

Qian Renxue said frankly, "I like him. I will definitely be with him!"

It's obvious, since they did forcefully kiss each other.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were internally complaining.

Hey~

[Chi Ping: Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, and Qian Renxue are my friends. I have something come up, so please help arrange accommodation for her. We'll meet at Yaoshan later.]

After reading the message sent by Chi Ping, Dai Mubai began to brainstorm.

A forceful kiss equals pursuing someone; friendship equals not conflicting.

There's hope!

"Miss Qian, please follow me..."

As his thoughts raced, Dai Mubai had already figured out how to arrange things for Qian Renxue.

Shrek Academy's faculty housing is a separate building next to the student apartments, where Ikehira lives.

Half an hour later, Chi Ping finally composed himself and regained his composure, then teleported a hundred miles back to the academy's medicine mountain.

"Xue'er, how did you and Brother Ping meet?"

"Xue'er, how far have things progressed with Ping-ge?"

"Xue'er, your skin is so smooth, how do you take care of it?"

Someone who can become the crown prince must have excellent interpersonal skills. Moreover, with Chi Ping's connection, no one would make things difficult for her. As a result, in just a few words, Qian Renxue became friends with the girls.

Looking at the blonde beauties among the group of girls, Chi Ping couldn't help but recall that gentle and enchanting feeling, and he felt the urge to escape again.

He's not omnipotent and doesn't know how to handle this situation.

However, this time Qian Renxue did not act impulsively as before, but simply greeted Chi Ping gently.

Chi Ping did not respond, avoiding Qian Renxue's gaze, and returned to his previous post.

Dai Mubai grabbed Chi Ping's shoulder from the side and whispered, "Not bad! You found such a beautiful girlfriend without making a sound. I agree to this marriage!"

"What do you mean you agreed? What good is your agreement?!" Chi Ping yelled in frustration. "Besides, she and I aren't in that kind of relationship!"

"What kind of relationship is that? Lovers? Beloved? Pursuer and pursued?" Dai Mubai asked seriously. "He's clearly deeply in love with you. At least give him some response, either reject him or accept him. You're not a kid anymore, think about it carefully."

Others also cast subtle glances at Chi Ping.

All day long, Chi Ping felt like he was on a grill.

……

Late at night, back in his dormitory, Chi Ping lay on his single bed, his mind in turmoil. His dormitory was very simple: a cot, a desk that doubled as a worktable, a bookshelf wall, and a wooden shelf wall displaying soul-guided devices.

Simple and serious.

It doesn't look like a college dean's room; it looks more like a researcher's room.

—My first kiss in both lifetimes is gone!

—My brother turned into a woman!

—My brother stole my first kiss!

"What kind of mess is this?!"

Chi Ping let out a deep sigh.

Qian Renxue delivered a series of punches that thoroughly beat him.

His emotions were mixed and he was restless. His senses were so sharp that he didn't notice anyone coming to the door.

crunch~

The door bolt rattled.

The blonde beauty entered the room.

Hearing the sound, Ikehira tried to get up.

But before he could see clearly, the person pushed him down and covered him with a passionate kiss.

Although he had only experienced it once, it left a deep impression on him, and Ikehira recognized the other person instantly.

This time, however, Ikehira was still able to keep thinking.

Teleportation.

Chi Ping stood at the door, speechless and helpless as he looked at Qian Renxue, who had taken over his small bed.

"Why are you hiding!" Qian Renxue said, displeased.

She wore a thin nightgown and had no makeup, which made her look even more beautiful, and her exposed skin was as white as snow.

Chi Ping's heart skipped a beat.

"You...I...we both need to calm down."

He turned his head and teleported away again.

That night, Chi Ping spent the entire night in the cold wind atop a mountain a hundred miles away from Shrek Academy.

For the next two days, Qian Renxue launched a fierce offensive against Chi Ping. Chi Ping was on high alert and dared not return to his room every night, but he still occasionally slipped up.

……

In the early morning, Chi Ping opened his eyes at his work desk. Behind him, Qian Renxue got up from Chi Ping's small bed at the same time. The pure white quilt fell down, revealing a large expanse of spring.

Chi Ping didn't dare to look back. With astonishing speed, he used teleportation to retrieve his toiletries and left the room.

Looking at the empty room, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Am I really that unattractive...?"

After changing her clothes, she took her towel from where Chi Ping had taken the toiletries.

Ten minutes later, Ikehira returned to his room.

Qian Renxue had already washed up and dressed, and was sitting at Chi Ping's workbench reading Chi Ping's research diary.

"let's go."

Chi Ping stretched out his left arm, looking utterly despondent.

Qian Renxue put down her journal, glanced at it, and remained calm and composed.

Chi Ping sighed, giving himself a silent warning.

—This is the price.

If it were a couple of days ago, Qian Renxue would have already hugged her!

This person is a bit crazy.

Ikehira realized this.

To ensure the divine examination proceeded smoothly, he made a deal with Qian Renxue.

So Ikehira switched to his right arm, but this was not a prosthesis.

Qian Renxue stood up and took Chi Ping's arm.

The two left the room side by side and headed to the cafeteria.

Along the way, students rushing to their early morning classes turned their heads in surprise.

—This is the price.

Chi Ping continued to warn him.

In the cafeteria, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San and Xiao Wu, Oscar and Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, and Flander—eleven people's gazes were fixed on him like laser beams.

"Open your mouth, ah!"

Qian Renxue picked up a piece of meat and fed it to Chi Ping.

—Could you all stop being so affectionate? And could you all stop laughing?! Especially you, Xiao Wu! And Dean, you're being disrespectful to your elders!

Chi Ping felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal.

There was still half a day of execution after breakfast.

—Can we back out?

Chi Ping ate the food that Qian Renxue had placed on his plate and thought to himself.

Qian Renxue smiled slightly when she saw Chi Ping eat the food she had picked for him.

She leaned on Chi Ping's shoulder, her face beaming with happiness.

Chi Ping's heart stirred slightly.

……

It was so hard to make it to noon.

Everyone arrived at the top of Medicine Mountain.

A small bluestone plaza has been created here.

Chi Ping stood in the center of the square, surrounded by others.

Gently touching his brow, the Life Divine Rune emitted a green-gold light, and a fist-sized green-gold seed, covered with five-colored inscriptions of gold, blue, purple, brown, and silver, resembling both jade and metal, floated in his palm.

As the Tree of Life seed was taken out, a beam of life light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, fell from the clouds.

Green represents life, and gold represents a noble status.

Amidst the green-gold light, the phantom of a deity in a water-green dress landed in front of Chi Ping.

Countless living beings sing sacred songs in unison, and heaven and earth praise the descent of the goddess.
