Chapter 350 - Conference of Destruction (1/2)

Even if none of their parents stated it out loud after they received the letter from the institute, the moment the kids woke up and saw their parents wearing their ancestral robes usually worn in a ceremony, their souls screamed shrilly in fright and pure agony.

”Ah, honey~ He woke up!”

Lu Piao's mother smiled and called for her husband as the blue-haired kid felt like crying.

'Teacher... hurry up and kick my dad's ass!'

A similar event occurred in the houses of every student of the apprentice class. Well, the students who feared the truths about their antics leaking out to their parents, at least.

”Do we really need to decorate all of this ourselves?”

Xiu inquired with frustration as she held one of the multi-colored strings in her hand and stuck it to the edges of the wall. She was already standing on a desk. Meanwhile, the three girls in Nik's apprenticeship— Ning'er, Ryu'er, and Ziyun, did the same on the lower portion of the walls.

”Of course, we do. The parents should feel welcomed in this classroom. And, aren't they helping us as well?”

Nik continued to decorate the board of the classroom with colored chalks. First, he wrote the name of the top three students of the classroom— Ye Ziyun, Shen Yue, and Ryu'er— before continuing to write other information about the kid's curriculum.

”Say, Ryu'er,” Nik spoke as he continued jotting down the details, ”Why do you keep your eyes hidden?”

Nik inquired as the petite girl flinched while feeling the focus of gaze from the other girls falling on her.

”I-”

'I am too beautiful that you'll fall for me after gazing into my eyes!'

”- am used to it, teacher.”

Ryu'er spoke softly as she continued the task of decorating the classroom. There were still two hours before the classes begin so that the girls would have enough time to get ready. Nik turned his head towards Ryu'er's direction and couldn't help but speak up, ”You must have amazing senses, huh. Well, not that I am the one to complain. I managed to attract a diligent and hardworking apprentice,” Nik continued to smile while gratified by his fortune. Meanwhile, Ryu'er lowered her head and continued to work. None could see the weird smile and a heavy blush on her face.

'As expected of my mate... making me feel all submissive by just a few words...

But it won't be easy!'

Ryu'er vowed internally as the group finally completed the decorations and went to their dorm rooms. Shen Xiu's dorm was on the same floor as Nik's, but quite a few rooms apart. So, she had to leave after they reached Nik's dorm reluctantly. As the door of Nik's dorm clicked open, the Lust Apostle found himself gazing at a pinkette with her cheeks inflated as she kept on munching on little choco bits that Nik left as snacks. Lanruo's face stiffened as she looked at Nik before resuming her munching. She was a squirrel, and she loved to inflate her mouth with sweets and then chew on them quickly.

Nik suppressed a chuckle—

”Pfft,” and failed the task admirably before sitting in front of Lanruo and popping a choco candy for himself, too.

Lanruo did not mind Nik's amusement. It was his smile that ensnared her, and seeing more of that smile improved her days by a high margin.

”So, what are you going to wear today?”

Lanruo inquired with an elegant swipe of her choco-crumbs laced lips, ”Today is a special day. Even your challenge has already shaken the entire city, and my father couldn't help but feel at ease now.”

Every night, Lanruo would spend her time in her home before coming to train within the institute and spending the rest of her time with Nik in his dorm. Last night, the moment Nik's challenge to the other heads of the households within the city reached Huyan Xiong's ears, he couldn't help but feel a burden relieved from his shoulder and decided to indulge in his alcoholic tendencies in the first time since Lanruo could remember.

”A-and... my dad...
