Chen Yang didn't know how to explain it either. After all, no matter how he explained it now, it wouldn't be clear. What made Chen Yang even more speechless was that because the door had been open the whole time, the scene of Li Yanran tackling him to the ground had been seen by passing students.

This time, things had really gone too far. Three hours later, on the Jiangnan University forum, a post appeared with the following title:

【Jiangnan University's Chinese Language Goddess Falls for Dorm 320 in the South Courtyard, Eyewitnesses Detail the Incident】

The so-called details focused on Li Yanran tackling one of the boys to the ground and forcefully kissing him...

"Ha ha..."

Chen Yang forced a smile as he looked at Zhang Rui's computer screen.

"Yangshen, this time you're really famous!" Mao Shi looked at the computer screen with great interest and patted Chen Yang's shoulder. "Honestly, did you arrange this?"

Chen Yang looked at Mao Shi speechlessly.

"Don't say it's not true, maybe Yangshen even had someone create this forum post!" Liu Yuan also made a mistake, already considering Chen Yang a master at flirting. "Yangshen, don't pretend, we've already seen through everything. Admit it, we'll keep our mouths shut!"

"I'm very innocent, I'm really not a master!"

Mao Shi and the others naturally didn't believe him.

"Fine, we won't ask. We know in our hearts." Mao Shi chuckled, and Liu Yuan also looked excited.

At this moment, the usually quiet Zhang Rui suddenly frowned. "Do you think Chen Yang might get into trouble?"

Chen Yang was slightly stunned. "Well, I don't think so?"

After all, this wasn't a novel or a TV drama; how could there be such a cliché plot where the goddess's admirers seek revenge?

Wait...

Maybe not...

"These days, weird people are everywhere. I think, Yangshen, you should lay low for a while?" Mao Shi raised an eyebrow. "For example, treat us to a meal."

"Good idea, Yangshen, you've already conquered Li Yanran, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"

Chen Yang: "..."

He couldn't really argue with these three friends, so he agreed. He could afford it, and with the Immortal Chat Group, there would be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.

With that, they left the dormitory. There was also a new member, Tian Tian, whom Li Yanran had forgotten.

It was impossible to send Tian Tian back now. She followed Chen Yang around all day, and he couldn't shake her off. He also couldn't leave her alone in the dormitory, so he had no choice but to bring her along.

Opposite Jiangnan University was a street full of snack stalls. The four of them, plus the dog, bought a leash first, then entered a stall, ordered a few dishes, and started drinking beer and chatting. Suddenly, Chen Yang's phone in his bag vibrated.

Red envelope!

Without hesitation, Chen Yang took out his phone. It was a regular red envelope from Tai Bai Jin Xing. He quickly tapped it.

"Congratulations, you have received 22 merits, which have been added to your wallet. Please check!"

Hmm!?

Merits?

This was the first time Chen Yang had received such a thing. He opened his wallet and saw a new option next to the balance.

【Merits】: 22

Chen Yang had already figured out the use of merits. They were like money, but for immortals.

However, this immortal money couldn't be used in the real world, so Chen Yang didn't think it was very useful.

This time, Tai Bai Jin Xing had clearly sent a big red envelope. Chang'e Fairy had 1 merit and was at the top of the luck list.

Chang'e Fairy: "I'm having a good day today, thank you, Uncle Tai Bai. (Shy)"

Juli God: "Chang'e Fairy, your luck is really good. Can you share a photo so we can see your beauty? I've heard of you since I became an immortal, but I've never had the chance to meet you, which is a great regret."

Fuhu Luohan: "Juli God, stop acting so pretentious. If you want to see Chang'e Fairy, just say it. No need to make up such a long story. Chang'e Fairy, please share a photo!"

Jianglong Luohan: "Chang'e Fairy, please fulfill our wish, please share a photo!"

Lü Dongbin: "Envious... Please share a photo!"

Nezha: "Sister Chang'e, please share a photo!"

Huode Xingjun: "Chang'e Fairy, please share a photo!"

Shuode Xingjun: "Chang'e Fairy, please share a photo!"

...

The moment Chang'e Fairy was asked to share a photo, even the lurkers came out. New faces like Huode Xingjun and Shuode Xingjun flooded in, and the request for Chang'e Fairy to share a photo quickly filled the screen.

Chen Yang's lips curled. It seemed that the stories from ancient myths were somewhat true, like Chang'e Fairy being the first goddess of the Heavenly Court.

Chen Yang was also interested in this and quietly waited for Chang'e Fairy to share a photo.

"What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so slyly?"

Mao Shi, seeing Chen Yang smiling at his phone, leaned over and asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing!"

Chen Yang was startled and quickly closed the screen, trying to act calm.

Mao Shi chuckled. "Yangshen, are you chatting with Li Yanran?"

"No." Chen Yang saw everyone looking at him strangely and laughed bitterly. "Don't guess, I really have no relationship with Li Yanran. Today's incident was purely a coincidence and a misunderstanding."

Liu Yuan shrugged and pointed to Tian Tian, who was resting on Chen Yang's lap. "Then what about this little dog? Aren't you going to return it?"

"Let's see. She might come back to get it. If she doesn't, I'll find a chance to return it." Chen Yang sighed. "If she really doesn't want it, I'll have to keep it."

Mao Shi laughed. "If you keep it, you have to take responsibility. We won't keep a dog!"

"Rubbish, we'll keep it together!" Chen Yang laughed and scolded. "Why didn't you help me earlier!"

They chatted for a while, and more dishes arrived. As they started eating, Chen Yang took out his phone and hurriedly checked the chat history. He was amazed at the immortals' ability to flood the chat. After a long search, he finally found Chang'e Fairy's photo.

When he saw it, Chen Yang was truly stunned.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful selfie. In the photo, a woman in a fashionable white dress held a white rabbit and smiled with a captivating smile. Any man who saw it would be unable to look away.

Although Chen Yang had imagined countless appearances for Chang'e Fairy, he realized that none of them could compare to her. Celebrities, goddesses, and internet stars in the real world were all nothing compared to her!

Just as Chen Yang was immersed in Chang'e Fairy's photo, he suddenly heard a loud noise.

Chen Yang snapped back to reality and saw everyone looking in one direction. He followed their gaze and saw thick smoke billowing from a nearby residential building, with flames already raging on the third floor.

"Let's go check it out!"

No one had any appetite for food and stood up to leave the stall. In front, there were already many onlookers, all pointing at the burning building and discussing it.

"How did it suddenly catch fire?"

"The fire is so big!"

"Thankfully it's not nearby, or if a gas canister exploded, we'd all be in trouble..."

The crowd whispered, and Mao Shi and the others came over just to watch the commotion.

The fire grew larger, and soon the second to fifth floors were covered in smoke and flames. It seemed that the evacuation was complete, and many people stood in the open area, their faces showing signs of fear.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry rang out.

"Please, save my son!"

"He's still on the sixth floor!"

"Please, help!"

Following the sound, they saw a middle-aged woman kneeling in front of a police officer, crying out in despair.

The police officer tried to comfort her but looked helpless. The fire had completely covered the second to fifth floors, and it was impossible to save anyone without risking their own lives. "Don't worry, the fire department is on the way!"

The crowd sighed.

"The fire will soon reach the sixth floor."

"Poor thing."

"The child must be very young, he couldn't escape in time."

In the crowd, Chen Yang hesitated and took out his phone...
