Only a fool would fall head over heels for someone!
"Can I call you Hao Yu?"
"Uhm...It might be better for you to call me, Teacher Hao Yu. Miss Su is pretty so I might get bombarded with Curses."
It sounded like a joke, but Hao Yu was staring left and right like a chicken, alert to any movement.
"Hehe, Teacher Hao Yu is quite funny, how could anything happen?"
She was pleased when he called her pretty, but suddenly a ominous feeling popped out as she heard hims say...
"....You would be surprised..."
'Should I change my job?'
Hao Yu wasn't playing around.
This might have been his most dangerous situation yet in his 50,000 year life span. This can rank in the top 10.
'A main character won't just suddenly hate me because I'm with a beauty right? Shit, I can't even handle a canon fodder, let alone the villain!'
Su Su was starting to get worried.
Though she knew of Hao Yu's temperament, it seemed like she had underestimated his desire to stay away from trouble.
Unsurprisingly, when the empresses found out about Hao Yu, they may have secretly been staring at times....or all the time....
If not for the other Empresses blocking out the view from time to time, he probably would've shown something...
Well either way. The empresses know all about Hao Yu since he talks to himself all the time. The fact he transmigrated from another world, the fact that he doesn't want to get married because he was scared, the fact that he doesn't want to cultivate. Every single detail down to the bone.
Su Su needed to make him calm down to get anywhere with her plans though.
"Teacher Hao Yu!"
"Hm?"
She stepped forward, but he stepped backwards to maintain the distance between them.
'This little brat! You actually stepped back!?'
She felt a small fire in her heart, but kept a warm smile.
"Don't worry, the empresses have a hold on this academy!"
"What do you mean?"
Hao Yu felt a sense of misfortune coming his way,
"Actually this is a secret but-"
"Nope, no no no. I can't hear it, I never heard it."
As soon as the word "secret" came out after "Emperess" he completely covered his ear and pretended he couldn't hear a single thing.
'God, woman! Are you trying to kill me?!'
He nods to himself.
'As I thought, beautiful women are the downfall of heroes!'
"Er..."
Su Su guessed what he was thinking of and felt a struggle. 'I knew it already, but he's so different from how he was on the lower realms...'
"A-ah forget about that, Teacher Hao Yu have you read this book!? I bought this a couple years back!"
"Hm? T-T-Thats, I have n-no clue."
Hao Yu started stuttering. The reason being was that book she was holding.
"Y-You read it?"
"Yeah!" She smiles gently. "Our nine tails Fox clan really like, love stories!"
"Y-Yeah love stories." He looks away. To actually meet someone that read his book. How embarrassing!
But he also felt a little warmth that she liked the book.
"I especially liked the part where-"
She kept talking, but soon Hao Yu wasn't even listening and just staring at her dazingly.
Her smiling as she retold the story made his perspective feel like he was in those drama scene.
The light seemed to be brighter, the wind fresher, her voice easing his discomfort.
'Could this be...what they call a soulmate?'
*SLAP!*
He opened his eyes and smacked his cheek.
"T-Teacher Hao Yu? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I have something to do so I can't tour you around. Liu Tao is in the homeroom if you need someone to tour with."
Without further ado he used his fastest escape cultivation method.
She stared in disbelief.
"Was he...."
She remembered the look in his eyes.
"What a familiar look." She held the book to her cheeks to hide her embarrassment. "He really hasn't changed."
She joyfully skipped away.
....
.....
.....
Hao Yu entered his room and stuffed his head into cold water.
"Huff, Huff, Huff, It's too dangerous! I underestimated her passive charm skill."
He stared in disbelief.
A second more and he would have fallen in love.
"Only a fool would fall head over heels for someone! A pretty woman at that!!"
He stuffed his head in again.
