Chapter 145: Going to The Ends of The Earth for Mei Gongzi
Previously, during their battle with the Winged Tiger, Du Bai achieved a breakthrough precisely because he made a critical move, shifting from observation to control. This led to his advancement to the fourth order.
Luck, of course, comes in both good and bad forms. When misfortune approached, a user of the Celestial Fox Vision naturally sensed it and instinctively made decisions to attract fortune instead and avoid disaster.
Tang San hadn't experienced much of what it felt like when good luck approached. After all, he hadn't had the Celestial Fox bloodline for long and he hadn't deliberately explored it. He planned to wait until he broke through to the fourth order to sense and investigate it further carefully and to figure out how to incorporate it into his strength.
So, what was this feeling he was experiencing at the moment? His eyes felt hot, and an inexplicable excitement took over him. Could this signify...good luck?
Just then, footsteps echoed down from the mountain. The heavy footsteps, unmistakable even without looking, told Tang San that a demon was approaching.
He quickly moved aside on the path. Encountering demons on this mountain road was not unusual; teachers and students from Kali Academy used this route as well. He would only go another way at a fork in the road leading to the academy town when nearing Kali Academy.
Most of the demon students at Kali Academy were of noble descent, and these nobles typically prided themselves in their status. They disdained to mistreat their vassals, especially since the academy town itself existed to serve Kali Academy. Thus, when students from Kali Academy encountered vassals from the academy town, they generally treated them decently, and some even greeted them amicably if they were in a good mood.
Tang San had just stepped to the side of the road when he saw students from the demon clan descending from above.
The group leader was about two meters tall, with thick golden hair cascading down his back and his eyes shimmering with a golden sheen. His appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of a human, which was quite unusual. If not for his vertical pupils, it would have been difficult to identify him as a demon.
A high-tier demon...
Before arriving at the Redemption Society, Tang San might not have been able to make such a judgment. But now, he recognized it instantly. This was a member of the high-ranking demonic clan, a high-tier demon with a very powerful bloodline.
Such demons could transform into human form. For them, being in a human form was more flexible and more convenient for daily life than their original form. It had even become a tradition.
The fact that humans could become vassals to the demonic and nymph clans, and why human females were sometimes favored by the demon clans, was partly due to this.
"Enough!" A voice with a bit of authority rang out. The muscular demon student instantly stopped.
The Kali Academy students descending from the mountain also stopped in their tracks.
For Tang San, others were of no consequence; his gaze remained fixed on Mei Gongzi.
He noticed Mei Gongzi frown slightly, while the golden-haired demon male student beside her smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Little Bear, let's go."
From start to finish, he never even glanced at Tang San. It was out of consideration for Mei Gongzi being a human that he spared Tang San, a mere vassal.
Mei Gongzi instinctively cast her gaze toward Tang San, and their eyes met, causing Tang San's heart to tremble suddenly. Mei Gongzi's eyes showed a trace of surprise, as if she felt something familiar, but she couldn't recognize Tang San immediately due to his significant changes over the past two months.
As a person who had lived through three lifetimes, Tang San should have been far more composed, but at this moment, he felt a strong urge to rush forward, beat up everyone around Mei Gongzi, and embrace her to ease his longing.
He clenched his fists unconsciously.
The muscular demon, Little Bear, snorted. "Be careful, boy. Lower your head."
Tang San took a deep breath, forcibly restraining his inner impulses, and slowly lowered his head.
Reason ultimately triumphed over recklessness. He couldn't take action unless he invoked his Divine Consciousness; otherwise, he might not be able to defeat these obviously top students of Kali Academy. Besides, even if he did win, what then? How would Mei Gongzi regard him now?
Then he suddenly realized something—could the golden-haired guy be trying to get close to Mei Gongzi? But the next moment, he shrugged off the idea. Mei Gongzi was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. These students weren't much older than he was; how could they have romances like that? And even if the thought crossed their minds, Kali Academy would not simply allow them to mix their bloodlines like that.
In addition, Mei Gongzi didn't seem to be particularly close to him, nor did they show any intimate gestures. They were just ordinary classmates.
Although still anxious, thinking this way, Tang San felt much better. What comforted him most was that Mei Gongzi was so close to where he lived! This made things much more convenient.
