Chapter 8: The Dragon Taming Treasure Mirror

The bronze mirror felt icy cold in his hand, seemingly no different from an ordinary bronze mirror. However, after taking it, Shen Tianyi was startled to find that this palm-sized mirror actually weighed several pounds!

Clearly, the material of this mirror was not real bronze!

It was a metal he had never seen before, its color merely similar to bronze.

"The material of this mirror is called Mystic Bronze. It is already very rare in the world today," Yan Shu said calmly, seemingly noticing Shen Tianyi's confusion.

"Mystic Bronze..." Shen Tianyi silently memorized it, a material he had never heard of before.

"This bronze mirror has a grand name, the Dragon Taming Treasure Mirror. Unfortunately, throughout history, no one has truly discovered its secrets. Whether you can uncover its mysteries depends on your destiny. However, you must remember, you must never show this Dragon Taming Treasure Mirror to anyone, or it could bring you great danger! Even if you discover its secrets, do not tell anyone, not even me. Understand?"

Yan Shu's voice was cold and stern, leaving Shen Tianyi no room to resist. However, Shen Tianyi could sense a complex emotion in Yan Shu's voice when he mentioned the Dragon Taming Treasure Mirror—a hint of disdain and a deep sorrow.

"There must be an unknown story between the Dragon Taming Treasure Mirror and Uncle Yan!" Shen Tianyi thought to himself, then solemnly promised, "I will remember Uncle Yan's warning. I will never show the Dragon Taming Treasure Mirror to anyone!"

"Hmm!" Yan Shu nodded faintly, then glanced at the crescent moon in the sky. After a moment, he said coldly, "I'm leaving!"

"Uncle Yan!"

Seeing Yan Shu about to leave, Shen Tianyi called out urgently, wanting to retain him for a while.

Yan Shu frowned and asked coldly, "What else?"

"Can you stay a bit longer?" Shen Tianyi said, biting his lip. After all, he was only eighteen years old, and Yan Shu was his only relative. Meeting once a year, he naturally did not want it to be so brief.

"Hmph! No ambition! A man should have lofty aspirations, not cling to fleeting reunions. Remember, practice hard. I hope to see you improve the next time we meet!"

Yan Shu's response to Shen Tianyi's plea was a cold and angry rebuke. After speaking, he left without hesitation, disappearing into the thick darkness in an instant...

"Uncle Yan, I won't let you down!"

Standing in place, Shen Tianyi clenched his fists, his expression resolute!

...

The next morning, Ye Lengxin woke up to the aroma of porridge. With sleepy eyes, she followed the scent to the kitchen, where she saw Shen Tianyi placing two bowls of porridge on the stove.

"Teacher, good morning!" Shen Tianyi didn't turn around, knowing that the person behind him was his teacher.

"Shen Tianyi, I really doubt if you've been living a comfortable life. Otherwise, how could you prepare so many dishes, and so well?" Ye Lengxin ignored Shen Tianyi's greeting, looking at his busy back with suspicion.

"Hehe, I didn't say I wasn't living comfortably. Besides, these are just simple home-cooked dishes. The ingredients don't need to be too good," Shen Tianyi laughed.

"Hmph, I still think you might have deceived my kindness," Ye Lengxin said, still not fully convinced.

"Then should I move back?" Shen Tianyi chuckled and turned to look at Ye Lengxin.

"Hmph, no way!" Ye Lengxin snorted triumphantly. How could she let such a skilled and diligent free chef go? She was now a bit relieved about her decision yesterday.

When Shen Tianyi turned around, his eyes froze, and he felt a cool liquid welling up in his nose...

In his line of sight, Ye Lengxin's hair was tousled, her eyes still half-closed, looking extremely lazy. The collar of her green silk robe had slipped, exposing a large expanse of snow-white skin...

"Cough, cough, teacher, your collar is open," Shen Tianyi couldn't look away after a quick glance! He even felt the urge to nosebleed. The snow-white skin was firm and proud, hidden in the green, but the shape was already visible, truly exquisite! Though he hadn't touched it, it seemed soft and smooth yet firm in his line of sight.

The morning was already a time of strong male desire, and this visual stimulation made Shen Tianyi's head hot and his mouth involuntarily blurt out a reminder. Even more, his hand holding the chopsticks pointed toward the open collar, the action both like a reminder and a lewd gesture...

"Ah!"

Ye Lengxin, startled by Shen Tianyi's strange actions, looked down with her sleepy eyes. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and all her sleepiness vanished. She then let out a high-pitched scream and slammed the kitchen door shut, running back to her room in a series of hurried steps...

"Shen Tianyi, you pervert!"

Her muffled angry voice could be heard clearly through the walls.

"I was just trying to help you!" Shen Tianyi retracted his chopsticks, feeling a bit speechless, and then made a pinching gesture with his thumb and ring finger.

"Ugh... Sweat... I really didn't mean it that way!"

...

Knowing that Ye Lengxin wouldn't go to school with him, Shen Tianyi ate breakfast alone and then went to school by himself. However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the school gate, four cold gazes locked onto him.

"Sure enough, trouble has come!" Shen Tianyi thought with a cold smile, then pushed up his glasses and walked casually into the school gate.

"Shen Tianyi!"

A cold voice called out from the side of the gate. There, four figures leaned against the iron fence, each with a cold and arrogant expression. The one who had called out was the tallest of the four, Gao Weiqiang, a senior in the Electronics and Information Engineering department. His name fit him well, as he was tall and muscular, truly "great and strong."

The other three men included a slender man with long hair, Chen Donglai, a sophomore in the Logistics department, who was in the same year as Shen Tianyi but in a different department.

The slightly chubby one was Zhu Shang, a senior in the Finance department. Zhu Shang had a nickname, "Zhu Shang," which meant that any woman he fancied, he would try to "cook" her. Unfortunately, Ye Lengxin was one of his targets, but he hadn't yet managed to charm her.

The last one was the shortest of the four, standing only about 1.7 meters tall. However, Shen Tianyi knew that this shortest one was the most difficult to deal with among the four.
