Transmigrated into the world of an NTR novel as the NTR Bastard (Patreon)

Chapter 13: The Humble, Gentle, and Modest Man

The ambiguous answers that Zuo Tian uttered were in stark contrast to the thoughts that he had inside his mind.

‘Su Yingxue is definitely talking about me. Is she hinting at me to make a move?’

‘From the look of it, she’s trying to broadcast our relationship to the whole school in such a way that it can be easily  interpreted that we are already dating, just so that I can’t reject her when she confesses her love to me.”

'Sigh, how did it come to this?’

Zuo Tian shook his head gently, almost unable to hold back his laughter, and inside his heart, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Looking at Zuo Tian's self-satisfied and invisible show-off appearance, Yang Jin clicked his tongue in envy and admiration:

"Yep, there is no way it’s not you, Su Yingxue used to come to our class looking for you all the time, moreover, the two of you have been together since your childhood, and she doesn't have eyes for anyone else except you, really, I don't know what’s so good about you."

Zuo Tian smiled lightly upon hearing Yang Ji's words.

What's so good about me?

Everything about me is good, heh.

Still, when I called her last night, for some reason she sounded angry?

Well, girls tend to become sentimental and often have emotional outbursts in the late night hours.

The black-haired youth picked up his phone somewhat helplessly, intending to have a chat with Su Yingxue.

Regardless of how cold he usually is towards her, she always comes running over when he calls for her.

It's as if it's predestined.

Even if she's angry, a few kind words from him will resolve everything.

She's the kind of girl that is able to be pleased easily after all.

But...

Zuo Tian's finger slid back and forth on the screen of his phone.

Yet, no matter how many times he scrolled his phone, despite looking for it while squinting his eyes and scanning his phone screen very carefully, he still couldn't find Su Yingxue's social media account no matter how hard he try.

Zuo Tian furrowed his slender brows.

He typed her social media account name in his phone search function, and found nothing.

The boy's finger froze in mid-air.

Gazing at the empty search results, Zuo Tian's narrowed eyes slightly opened, revealing a hint of coldness, his mind already connected the dots about what was happening.

That despicable woman.

She dared to block me?

A fleeting sense of ruthlessness and sharpness emanated from him, and Yang Jin frowned his brow as he seemed to feel that the aura around his friend had become unfamiliar.

This wasn't like him.

No matter the situation, the usual Zuo Tian could somehow always remain calm and composed, as steady as a mountain.

Could it be... the boyfriend that Su Yingxue is talking about is not Zuo Tian after all? And he becomes mad upon realizing that?

"I'll be right back."

Zuo Tian smoothed his messy hair and stood up from his sleep, his earlier drowsiness had been completely gone.

Sometimes, women like Su Yingxure would need to be appeased. Even when they get angry and throw tantrums, or they pretend to dislike you, even pretend to hate you, he would need to appease her over and over until her tantrum is over

It's such a hassle dealing with this kind of thing!

In reality, as long as I give a nod, Su Yingxue will eagerly undress and comply with my every wish.

Why play the hard to get act in this day and age?

Isn't this kind of thing outdated?

Zuo Tian lazily narrowed his eyes, a gentle smile appearing on his refined face.

With his hands in his pockets, he casually walked through the hallway, often catching the shy glances of female students.

He is a modest gentleman, and is as gentle as jade.

But someone as modest and gentle as him can still feel annoyed and restless.

Within his mind, a mysterious and extraordinary golden tower lay hidden, as if it’s a building that comes from ancient primordial times.

Unfortunately, the doors of the tower remained sealed to this day.

It has been 9 months since the resurgence of spiritual energy, yet only a crack has been opened in the tower's doors.

Tomorrow is the aptitude assessment for the Pathseeker Class, and no matter how you look at it, the treatment for underachievers won't even be half as good...

Although he pretended to be nonchalant, in reality, Zuo Tian hadn't slept all night, pushing against the doors all night long.

‘I should do it tonight, I’m afraid that if I don't do it now, I Won't be able to endure any longer’ He thought.

... ... ...

As he pocketed his phone, Lu Qingchuan looked at the students of the Pathseeker Class chatting in their group, and suddenly he had a plan for what he should do tonight.

Lu Qingchuan's expression turned somewhat gloomy, causing his inherently alluring and devilish appearance to appear even colder and more menacing.

The girls who were walking in pairs on the playground all avoided him when they notice his expression.

"Enlightened Sage System, would I receive some kind of rewards if I do any decent deed?” Lu Qingchuan silently asked in his mind.

The emotionless loli-like voice of the system rang out, tinged with a hint of joy.

【Sage Points that you have accumulated can be exchanged for items in the shop, furthermore, the items on the shop can also be refreshed.】

【Accumulating a certain value will unlock better items.】

【And Sage Points can also increase the experience of righteous cultivation methods... provided that the host has practiced righteous cultivation methods.】

The "Cataclysmic Chaos Immortal Scripture" doesn't count, of course.

Most of the techniques inside of that scripture are extremely bizarre, with countless incomprehensible methods written in it.

Some attack techniques can condense air into swords, or transform shadows into a hundred ghosts-like minions.

"If I kill the bad guys, does that count as doing a good deed?"

【Carrying out murder, as long as it’s being done to conduct justice, naturally considered as doing a good deed.】

"Huh, nice to know that."

Tonight, Lu Qingchuan was going to go out and kill someone. After the resurgence of spiritual energy, it wasn't just the students who gained supernatural powers. The school was just a small society. The real world was vast and boundless, with endless wonders and countless faces...

Some humans pursued the elusive path of immortality, delving into the realms of cultivation, harnessing their spiritual energy to transcend the limitations of ordinary existence. Others, however, found themselves unable to break free from the constraints of reality, forever entangled in the mundane struggles of everyday life.

As the boundaries between the mortal realm and the supernatural realm blurred, a myriad of possibilities emerged. Some individuals wandered through the world, their newfound powers enabling them to explore uncharted territories and embrace the unknown with awe and curiosity. They saw the world as their playground, seeking hidden truths and ancient secrets, their spirits fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure.

Yet, amidst the marvels and wonders, darkness lurked. There were those who succumbed to the allure of power, driven by their desires and consumed by selfishness. They harnessed their abilities for nefarious purposes, preying upon the innocent and staining their hands with the blood of the guiltless.

Right now, Lu Qingchuan was going to eliminate a transcendent criminal.

Nicknamed "Mudan" (Peony), he was a man who, at first glance, appeared unassuming and timid, with a baby-faced visage that belied his dark nature.

In his life prior to the resurgence of spiritual energy, Mudan had toiled away in a newspaper printing factory, seemingly insignificant among the masses. But behind his innocent facade lay a perpetrator of numerous heinous crimes, leaving a trail of bloodshed in his wake.

Mudan's hands had claimed the lives of dozens of innocents, his actions leaving scars that echoed through the hearts of their loved ones. His acts of manslaughter had sown fear and despair, shaking the foundations of the community.

Even the two major transcendent law enforcement agencies, "Übelabwehr" and "Teufelstöter," had failed to capture him, their attempts thwarted by his cunning and evasive tactics.

The crimes that Mudan would commit in the far future are much more terrifying than what he has done in the present.

During a violent incident, Su Yingxue fought against him, narrowly escaping death and escaping the threat of being defiled by the man.

The one to kill him was Zuo Tian, the Child Blessed By the Goddess of Luck, he is the hero who punishes evil and protects the innocent, a hero saving a beauty.

Mudan practiced the "Blood Demon Refining Technique." It’s a martial technique that lets him devour souls, sucking human blood—simply put, he eats people.

That's why Mudan's cultivation progressed rapidly, and he's probably at the Foundation Building Stage now. And to advance to the next level Mudan would go to a bar, and eat the entire customer of the bar, turning them all into a pile o white bones and cause a sensational news story.

As a result of this feast, Mudan would successfully break through to the Foundation Building Stage. And this incident will happen tonight...

On the eve of the aptitude assessment. "Qinggang Bar," 23:19:12. At that bar, 73 lives, all erased in an instant

Lu Qingchuan thought about a friend on his phone.

A justice-filled little dragon girl, currently at the Third Level of Foundation Building.

Perhaps he could act together with her tonight,

In a battle between transcendent beings, innocent people would undoubtedly be affected, especially in crowded places like bars.

Chen Yanyu was at the Foundation Building Stage, and she was a dragon. If I assist her, it should be quite certain.

Resolve the battle as quickly as possible, gaining Sage Points, and minimize casualties.

If Chen Yanyu couldn't come for some reason...

Lu Qingchuan prepared himself for a solo fight.

Then he would have to use up the deliberately saved 500 points of Fate Reversal Value.

If he does good deeds, his Fate Reversal Value would be reduced... What happens if it goes negative?

Would... I die?

Lu Qingchuan shook his head and finally entered the teaching building.

Su Yingxue had mentioned that she was in the Literature Society, so Lu Qingchuan who was unaware of which building was located in which location asked another student for directions and eventually found the location of the Literature Society.

However, when Lu Qingchuan arrived at the Literature Society, he was surprised to find that there was no one there.

‘How strange, Su Yingxue said she would be waiting for him here.’

"Did something come up and she had to leave?"

Lu Qingchuan decided to wait for a while. He sat on the couch against the wall and placed the gift box he brought for Su Yingxue on the table.

Just as Lu Qingchuan picked up his phone to check the silly conversations in the chat group, he suddenly heard footsteps.

Click

The doorknob slowly turned.

And then...

The door opened.

Lu Qingchuan looked up, and his pupils reflected a graceful figure.

It’s the figure of a young girl.

Her hair was slightly curled, her figure slender, and her face meticulously adorned with light makeup. She wore round glasses, adding a touch of innocence to her overall appearance.

She smiled gently, radiating youthfulness.

Lu Qingchuan quickly recognized her identity and felt a bit uneasy right away.

For the other person is the student council president... Gao Rongrong.

A wicked woman.
