Chapter 1

In the scorching summer, the high temperature baked the earth, making people almost go crazy with heat.

Inside the campus of Donghai University, even though the sunlight was fragmented by the large trees, it could not bring even a hint of coolness.

It was now the summer vacation, and the campus was sparsely populated.

Gufan was not yet a student of Donghai University; he only had the admission notice.

But Gufan had already traveled a thousand miles to Donghai and had been there for a week.

Unlike other soon-to-be college freshmen who wanted to take advantage of the summer to relax after three years of hard work, Gufan, upon confirming that he could attend Donghai University, immediately had to face a very practical issue—tuition!

As a cultivator, although he was just a beginner, Gufan could earn money very easily if he wanted to.

However, his master had told Gufan that his cultivation required more mental tempering.

Experiencing life like an ordinary person was itself a part of this mental tempering.

In fact, in the short week since arriving in Donghai City, Gufan had fully recognized the necessity of this.

The first night spent on the street and the subsequent days working on a construction site had taught Gufan many truths about life.

This had gradually transformed his mental state.

But reality was still reality. Gufan's pockets were empty, and school would start in a month and a half. His master had already retired to the ancestral tomb and could not provide any support—indeed, his master had nothing to offer Gufan, and Gufan, who had always been by his master's side, was very clear about the family's financial situation.

Therefore, everything had to rely on Gufan himself.

The construction site could temporarily solve the problems of accommodation and food, but to earn enough for tuition, he needed to find other work.

Now, with so many college graduates around, even they found it hard to find jobs, let alone Gufan, who was still a high school graduate and not yet a college student.

So, Gufan set his sights on Donghai University, hoping to find some positions specifically for students.

Unfortunately, after several days, Gufan had no success.

He smiled bitterly, checked the time, and realized he needed to hurry back to the construction site to work in the afternoon. As for the new job, he could only hope for better luck tomorrow.

Leaving the school gate, Gufan was walking when he saw a young woman coming towards him, holding a floral umbrella, carrying a small backpack, and talking on her phone.

The woman was wearing a white T-shirt and a blue casual skirt, with two long, round legs and a slender waist that glowed with the light of youth and health in the sun.

Most importantly, her face was a masterpiece of nature.

A graceful lady, a gentleman's ideal.

Gufan was only nineteen, a young man full of passion for the opposite sex. Seeing such a sexy and cool beauty coming towards him, he couldn't help but take a second look.

However, before Gufan could fully appreciate her, a Jetta car, which was driving normally on the street, suddenly lost control and was heading straight for the woman.

The woman was completely unaware, still on the phone.

"Be careful! There's a car behind you!" Gufan shouted loudly.

Hearing Gufan's warning, the woman turned around and was immediately frightened. She instinctively tried to dodge, but in her panic, she fell to the ground.

Her face turned ashen.

As the tragedy was about to unfold, Gufan quickly extended his hand.

An invisible spiritual force struck the driver's arm at the critical moment, forcing the driver to turn the steering wheel.

Gufan took a step forward, covering the distance of several meters in an instant, and grabbed the woman, rolling to the side without considering the position.

The Jetta car whizzed past them.

The woman was pale and still in shock.

Gufan's heart was racing.

It wasn't that Gufan was grateful for his brush with death; in fact, even if the Jetta had hit him, he would have only suffered minor injuries. What made Gufan's heart race was that the woman was almost completely on top of him.

The scent of her perfume kept entering his nose, making Gufan drunk.

The full-body soft contact made Gufan's blood boil.

And the view inside her T-shirt—Gufan clearly saw that she was wearing a pure white bra, and the size was quite impressive!

For Gufan, who had never been in a relationship or had any intimate contact with a woman, this was an unprecedented stimulation.

Most importantly, the woman was still in shock and had no intention of getting up.

Although a man being pressed by a woman might seem to damage his dignity!

But in this situation—Gufan thought he could quietly put his dignity aside for a moment.

"Lele, Lele!" The phone in the woman's hand rang with anxious calls, breaking the moment.

The woman hurriedly got up.

Her name was Lele.

Gufan felt a wave of disappointment. Actually, he wouldn't have minded if they had stayed in that position a bit longer.

Just as Gufan stood up, he saw two people get out of the stopped Jetta.

Both were bare-chested, with tattoos, one with red hair and the other with yellow hair, looking like typical hooligans.

The two hooligans were also in shock, as they had almost caused a fatal accident just now.

However, when they saw Lele, their eyes lit up.

"Six, we're in luck! Such a beautiful woman, she's a gem!" The yellow-haired one nudged the red-haired one, who was in a daze.

"Dog, it seems my distraction was fate!" The red-haired one's eyes sparkled as he muttered, "I said there must be beautiful women around Donghai University."

"My fate, you stay out of it." The red-haired one 'dominantly' glared at the yellow-haired one.

"Bullshit, maybe she likes someone like me." The yellow-haired one glared back, not backing down.

"Fair competition!" The red-haired one had no choice.

"Ha, good, I like fair competition!" The yellow-haired one smiled confidently.

The two rushed forward, and in the end, the red-haired one took the lead, seemingly concerned, and said, "Miss, are you okay? It's all my fault, I didn't drive well. Are you hurt? I'll take you to the hospital, don't worry, I'll take full responsibility!"

The yellow-haired one also chimed in, "Miss, don't worry, we'll take you to the hospital for a thorough check-up. We are responsible men."

"How do you drive!" Lele, who had just hung up the phone, looked at the two with disgust and said sternly.

"Sorry, it's our fault. Let me take you to the hospital!" The red-haired one tried to help Lele.

"Don't touch me!" Lele pushed him away.

"Miss, don't be like that, we're just trying to help!" The yellow-haired one also extended his hand with a lecherous look.

"I said, don't touch me!" Lele pushed him away again.

"Miss, that's not right, we..."

"Get lost!" Just as the two hooligans' patience was wearing thin, Gufan stepped in front of them.

"What did you say, kid?" The red-haired and yellow-haired ones were taken aback.

"Get lost!" Gufan's face turned cold.

"You're asking for it!" The red-haired and yellow-haired ones were angry and attacked together.

A fierce look flashed in Gufan's eyes, and he acted quickly.

In a moment, two screams, and Gufan was still standing, while the red-haired and yellow-haired ones were on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Get lost, did you hear me this time?" Gufan said coldly.

The red-haired and yellow-haired ones' faces changed, and they struggled to get up, fleeing back to the car.

"You'll pay for this!" The car started, and the red-haired one stuck his head out, threatening Gufan, then sped away.

"Are you okay?" Gufan, not taking the hooligans' threats seriously, turned to the woman.

Lele's eyes were filled with a strange light. When Gufan stood up to protect her and swiftly dealt with the two hooligans, it left a deep impression on her.

"My foot, I think it's sprained." Lele frowned, not just her foot, but several parts of her body were also aching.

"Let me see!" Gufan squatted down and grabbed the woman's foot without hesitation.

But as soon as he touched her foot, he saw a different view from before. This time, it was her legs.

Her legs were white and smooth, with a blue lace, a transparent piece of fabric, and a hint of black—just a glance made Gufan's blood boil.

Gufan instinctively wanted to take another look, but the view disappeared, and her legs covered it completely. Then he heard a voice, "Are you done looking?"

"No!" Gufan answered instinctively.

But as soon as he answered, he realized it and looked up to see Lele glaring at him.

Gufan's face turned red, and he coughed, unsure whether to let go of her foot. He quickly said, "I, I just wanted to check..."

"Still not done?" Lele gave him a look.

Gufan was even more embarrassed, his face turning red, and he coughed again, trying to explain.

Seeing Gufan's awkward, anxious, and slightly shy look, Lele laughed and said, "I was just kidding. Thank you so much, you saved my life!"

Gufan, who had little experience with women, was even more embarrassed by such a bold joke and quickly said humbly, "It was nothing, just a small effort!"

"How can it be a small effort? It's a matter of life and death!" Lele said seriously.

Gufan scratched his head, feeling a bit at a loss with her gratitude.

"Can you let go of my foot first?" Lele, seeing Gufan's awkwardness, smiled and said.

Gufan quickly gently put her foot down, his face still full of embarrassment.
