73 The Afterglow (2/2)

Wang Baole and his classmates were no longer new students, and they were all beginning to gain accomplishments in their respective faculties. Right now, as Wang Baole gazed at the new students, he could not help but mimic the Chancellor, with his eyes conveying a message of encouragement while he nodded politely.

His encouragement was the greatest affirmation for the new students. They were all agitated with excitement, and as Wang Baole advanced in his steps, the greetings never ended.

Basking in the privilege of his status and identity, Wang Baole was heartened to have made the best decision of his life when he chose to enroll at Ethereal Dao College.

I, Wang Baole, am destined to be extraordinary. Those years spent maintaining a low profile in Phoenix City were all to make a name for myself in Ethereal Dao College, Wang Baole thought emotionally while making his way out from the peak of the Dharmic Armament faculty for his descent down.

That evening, the glow from the setting sun gave the sky a beautiful, orange hue, and Wang Baole stood admiring it for a moment. When he finished his bag of snacks, he saw Bunny arriving from afar.

When Bunny sent him the voice transmission, she had said that she had wanted to visit. Therefore, Wang Baole had halted his refining process to welcome her there.

Seeing that Wang Baole was waiting for her from a distance, Bunny blushed, and her eyes widened in delight. She picked up her pace, speeding toward Wang Baole.

”Brother Baole.”

Her voice made Wang Baole's eyes light up. The scene of Bunny approaching him as she ran was like a dream that he had replayed in his mind over and over again. He cleared his throat and put on a gentlemanly look as he smiled coyly at her.

Very quickly, Bunny arrived in front of Wang Baole. Her face was red with shyness. She wanted to say something, but once she looked at Wang Baole's eyes, her heart raced, making her forget what she had originally wanted to tell him. Subconsciously, she took out a pill box and handed it to Wang Baole.

”Brother Baole, these are the recovery pills that I have made after spending all this time refining in seclusion. These are for you to keep,” Bunny said demurely with her reddened face as she passed the pill box to Wang Baole.

”Brother Baole, I will work hard to refine more pills in the future so that if you meet danger again, my pills can be of help to you,” Bunny said seriously, and she blushed even more after that. She turned to leave but quickly turned around again, handing another pill box to Wang Baole.

”I… I took the wrong one just now. This is the correct one.” Saying that, Bunny's face was like a ripe red apple, and she immediately turned around to make her way.

Actually, she had never been a daring person. She had originally prepared many things to say, but once she saw Wang Baole, her heart rate rose, and her thoughts blurred, causing her to forget everything that she had wanted to say.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoya rushing, Wang Baole's gaze was gentle. He did not know why she had come at first, but now he understood that she had purely wanted to hand him the pills. Wang Baole looked at the pill box in his hands, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. When he raised his head, he saw that Zhou Xiaoya was getting further away. He blinked, running to catch up with her.

”Zhou Xiaoya, Zhou Xiaoya! Why are you so timid? You prepared what to say for your confession, and you still ruined everything! Didn't you practice so many times?” Zhou Xiaoya was feeling moody, and she did not notice Wang Baole catching up with her. Therefore, Wang Baole heard her thoughts of regret as he neared her.

”Er…” Listening to Zhou Xiaoya's grumble, Wang Baole cleared his throat. ”Ruin what?”

”Ah!” Zhou Xiaoya was obviously taken aback by the sudden noise from Wang Baole. When she turned and saw Wang Baole, she was surprised.

”Brother Baole, you… Why did you come after me?”

Looking at Bunny's silly look, the fuzzy feeling that Wang Baole experienced became more obvious, and he blinked several times.

”I wanted to escort you back to the Alchemy faculty, that's why.”

”Oh… alright. Thank you, Brother Baole.” Bunny nodded lightly as she heard Wang Baole's explanation. In an instant, she was no longer moody and was filled with boundless happiness.

Just like that, under the glow of the setting sun, Wang Baole and Bunny strolled through the Dao College, their shadows stretching a long, long distance.

The sound of students reciting their books from the peaks of the various faculties, the footsteps of students from the Combat faculty running, and the laughter of the students passing by all seemed to become background noise to the duo. It was as if they were the only ones left in the entire Dao College.

A bright smile blossomed on Bunny's face. The glow of the setting sun reflected off her eyes as she looked at Wang Baole. Everything made her extraordinary beauty even more obvious.

The entire scene, including the setting sun and the surrounding atmosphere, was perfect, except that there was a pale, skinny youth dressed in a student's robe looking dazed nearby. When he passed, he looked at Wang Baole and Bunny, who was standing beside him.

The moment he saw Bunny, the emaciated youth stopped suddenly, as if mesmerized by Bunny's beauty and smile. His eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to stop the pair as if Wang Baole was invisible.

”My dear schoolmate, I might have seen you somewhere before. Can I get to know you? Please tell me how I can contact you.” The emaciated student looked directly at Bunny, as he spoke with emotion.
