Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Yes, youthful appearance is more suited to acting.

Perhaps because of this setup, she simply presented different levels of body language and words at different times in a performance, and Li Xingzhou could not feel much emotional investment in her.

Although his acting skills were superb, for a connoisseur like Li Xingzhou, whose standards have been raised considerably, Tong Yan's performance fell short of expectations.

As for its advantages, Tong Yan, being an automaton, can control every muscle at a microscopic level, so in this respect, Li Xingzhou felt that the experience was quite good.

Li Xingzhou sat up abruptly and wrapped his arms around Tong Yan's slender waist. Tong Yan seemed not to have expected Li Xingzhou's actions. Only after Li Xingzhou sat up did she belatedly add a gasp of surprise.

Li Xingzhou looked at Tong Yan with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "So slow to react, it's really cute."

Tong Yan pursed her cherry lips and slowly rested her chin on Li Xingzhou's shoulder: "Does Lord Xingzhou like it?"

"is acceptable."

"Hmm... then leave it to me." Tong Yan murmured, "I like Lord Xingzhou..."

Li Xingzhou couldn't tell whether those words were true or false.

Li Xingzhou turned his head to look at her profile and thought to himself that the carefree, food-loving, childlike face was still more adorable.

If we were to pinpoint the greatest advantage of having a youthful appearance, it would be...

That should mean unlimited stamina.

So Li Xingzhou waited all night, but the "Youthful Face Project" never started.

······

Chapter 144 Like daughter, like mother?

The sun rises in the east.

The sounds in the bedroom had subsided. On the messy bed, a petite, lovely, yet incredibly alluring body lay sprawled, her silvery-white hair cascading down like a waterfall. A blush lingered on her youthful face, and her beautiful eyes were closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Li Xingzhou knew she wasn't asleep because he knew she had unlimited energy.

Therefore, Tong Yan's behavior at this moment was merely a performance after the fact.

Even so, Li Xingzhou was still able to keep his eyes on Tong Yan and admire her.

Her skin was as smooth as snow, and she had a graceful and slender figure. In terms of skin alone, it was comparable to Xue Tang's smooth and flawless skin.

Unlike Jiang Xuetang, Tong Yan is more like a perfect porcelain doll with a certain vitality.

This sense of life is also reflected in the smooth, silky texture of her skin; the cool, sticky sweat makes her skin even firmer and more elastic, giving it an excellent feel.

As soon as Li Xingzhou touched her captivating charm that seemed incongruous with her appearance, Tong Yan let out a soft moan, her long, curved eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her beautiful, watery eyes slowly opened.

Like a beauty who has just woken up from a spring nap, she subconsciously rubbed the corner of her eye, and her big, watery eyes, which were a little languid, fixed on Li Xingzhou's face.

"Lord Xingzhou, you're awake?"

It was as if it were a pre-set instruction, but the perfection of her tone made people overlook this, as if she had truly awakened after being satisfied.

"woke up."

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, and Tong Yan smiled back. Suddenly, she curled up, and her sweaty, snow-white skin clung tightly to Li Xingzhou's body.

Li Xingzhou clearly felt a soft, oppressive sensation coming from his chest, which made him unable to help but look down.

But all I could see was a faint smile on her youthful face, rosy lips, and the corners of her mouth.

Her hands naturally hooked around the back of Li Xingzhou's neck: "Lord Xingzhou, you can go take a bath now. I'll prepare breakfast for you."

Li Xingzhou nodded, but even after he finished showering and changing his clothes, watching Tong Yan busy in the kitchen from the living room, he still hadn't heard from Tong Yan's plans.

That shouldn't be the case.

Was the instruction given to her by the God of Wisdom merely about matters of the bedroom?

Do you think this will leave a lasting impression on you?

Li Xingzhou really couldn't understand it.

Logically speaking, with Zhi Shen's powerful data analysis capabilities, he should have drawn many conclusions, and the conclusion that having a childlike face in bed should have the lowest success rate should be drawn.

Although I don't know Zhishen's purpose, no matter how I look at it, the benefits that Tongyan brought to Zhishen's species when she took the initiative to be intimate were not much.

More importantly, the goal of the Celestials is not the Heaven's Cup.

Last night, Tong Yan's gaze didn't linger on the Cup of Heaven for even a second!

She came here solely for her body!

Unable to come up with any useful conclusions for the time being, Li Xingzhou sat down at the dining table. Looking at the simple yet exquisite breakfast on the table, he praised, "Your cooking skills are really not bad."

"Of course."

Tong Yan said obediently, "As an automaton, I cannot disappoint my master."

Li Xingzhou indeed disliked this serious-looking boy.

Since we haven't figured out her purpose, should we give her another whack on the head?

While pondering, Li Xingzhou casually asked, "Are you coming to school with me today?"

"I'm waiting at home for Lord Xingzhou."

Li Xingzhou glanced at Tong Yan and nodded without saying anything more.

Before leaving home, he quietly set up an observation array at home before heading to school.

After confirming that Li Xingzhou had left, Tong Yan pursed her lips and gently touched her lower abdomen. Her eyes sparkled, and her voice carried a hint of guilt.

"Lord Xingzhou, I'm so sorry..."

······

Li Xingzhou, who had already arrived at the Lingwu Academy of Tianqi University, paused in his steps. Everything in his home was under his observation, so Tong Yan's behavior was the same.

Is the baby-faced girl touching her lower abdomen?

Li Xingzhou instantly understood her purpose last night: to collect the source.

Is the God of Wisdom trying to create a creature similar to an artificial human using its origin?

Like Cell from Dragon Ball, the ultimate android?

Li Xingzhou pondered, thinking to himself, "Since Tong Yan collected a lot of Origin last night, is she about to leave?"

With its own body-refining and highly active source, it would still be full of vitality even after a hundred days. In addition, since Tong Yan would do this, there must be other ways to preserve it, so it should be returned to Zhi Shen, right?

After all, no matter how youthful one's appearance is, it's impossible to magically transfer one's original essence back to the source.

To Li Xingzhou's surprise, Tong Yan did not leave, but instead sat down on the floor next to the sofa to continue charging.

Oh?

Feeling like you haven't collected enough?

Li Xingzhou smiled and stopped paying attention, looking at Fu Ming, the director of the student affairs office, who was walking towards him.

"Teacher Li, we've been waiting for you to come back."

Fu Ming looked at Li Xingzhou with a smile, in a very good mood.

At first, he was worried that Li Xingzhou's inclusive approach to education would affect the Wei Clan's status in the Lingwu Academy. However, in the past few days, every student he encountered greeted him respectfully and said thank you for your guidance.

Thus, all his doubts were dispelled.

Li Xingzhou did teach them new knowledge, but he also taught them that it was the Wei tribe's achievement.

Excellent, excellent!

Fu Ming was quite satisfied with Li Xingzhou's awareness. After all, this meant that the Wei tribe had gained a lot more loyal fighters, which was a good thing for the Wei tribe!

Not only him, but Dean Jin and some other high-ranking members of the Wei Clan were also quite satisfied with the current reaction of the Lingwu Academy students.

Fu Ming walked up to Li Xingzhou and patted him on the shoulder: "You deserve praise. The higher-ups have decided that you will give a lecture to this year's freshmen."

I'll find some time to give a lecture and impart my Taoist teachings.

"It's all right."

Li Xingzhou casually remarked that even if Fu Ming wanted to reap the rewards, he would have to see if he had the ability to do so.

He had arranged everything before heading to the Eternal Night Realm.

The spread among students was partly due to public opinion, and partly due to his spiritual invasion. He was too lazy to use grand words to win people's hearts; direct control was much faster than talking.

Under his control, the students he controls are like a virus, silently influencing other students as they spread. Currently, the entire student council, including the student discipline that has always been controlled by the Wei ethnic group, has also been infiltrated.

"Okay." Fu Ming took his hand off Li Xingzhou's shoulder: "You've done a good job. The higher-ups have decided to appoint you as the deputy director of the student affairs office. Seize the opportunity and continue to perform well."

As he spoke, his tone suddenly changed: "I heard that the Jiang family's daughter was pursuing you, but you rejected her?"

"Correct."

"Why did you refuse?" Fu Ming asked with interest. "With the Starry Sky Group being so large, don't you think it's quite enviable?"

"I'm not interested in money."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ming paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, alright, you're Yun Li's young master, you really aren't..."

"That's not mine."

"Alright then." Fu Ming smiled knowingly, then asked, "Are you sure there's no future with Jiang Xuetang?"

"What could possibly happen?" Li Xingzhou smiled noncommittally. "Does President Jiang really intend to let her daughter marry a man who covets the Xingchen Group?"

“That’s true.” Fu Ming nodded. “In that case, we need to restrict Xingchen Group from participating in the bidding process.”

"A tender?" Li Xingzhou's interest was piqued. "What kind of tender?"

"Lin Ming," Fu Ming didn't hide anything, "This thing has already completed the experiment of the new energy system, but we kept it a secret all along. Now that we know about it, we naturally have to take over and use this technology."

If they seize control of the upper-level coal market, spirit crystals from all over the world will flow into the pockets of the Wei tribe.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Congratulations, but is Lin Ming willing to do this?"

"Spoil him? Ha..."

"Aren't you afraid he'll commit suicide?"

"If he wanted to commit suicide, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?"
