Chapter 44: Yunbing: This Rascal Is Quite Cunning

Xiao Ye's face reddened as the primal force within him became almost uncontrollable.

He yearned for a vigorous battle to unleash the surging energy within him.

Rising to leave, Xiao Ye quickly sat back down, realizing his predicament. He could only walk hunched over to avoid a mortifying situation if Yunbing saw him.

Mulling over his options, Xiao Ye hunched toward the door, only to be blocked by Yunbing, who spread her arms wide and said, "I have something nice for you, but you need to agree to one condition first."

"?" Xiao Ye was in a hurry, very much so.

He wasn't in the mood for Yunbing's games and said, "Yunbing, let's talk tomorrow, OK?"

If I wait until tomorrow, when other recruiters arrive, I'll lose my advantage!

Yunbing, internally determined, shook her head firmly, pulling a bottle from her small pocket and said, "This is a Vitality Pill. Take one, and you'll be invigorated for the entire day. Isn't it powerful?"

"!!!" Xiao Ye was startled. Why was everyone keen on giving him these things?

The third school's principal and now Yunbing too.

Xiao Ye touched his face, wondering if he appeared feeble and in need of such things.

Seeing Xiao Ye's surprise, Yunbing felt assured of success, smiling as she stated her condition, "Just fill out your college application for our Magic City's Kunpeng Combat Academy, and it's yours!"

"Xiao Ye, you don't want to be a one-minute man like Diamond Supreme, do you?" Yunbing teased.

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched—what was this about a one-minute man?

Wait, did he hear right? Diamond Supreme a one-minute man?

Xiao Ye, instead of answering, asked, "Yunbing, how do you know about Diamond Supreme's quickness? Is he your lover?"

Yunbing's playful smile froze, her eyes disdainful, "That coward Diamond doesn't deserve to be my man! He's only fit to be my punching bag!"

"Hmph, when I took a few potions from him, he howled like he was losing his lineage."

"He even said without those pills, he'd be a one-minute man."

"Pfft!" Xiao Ye laughed, feeling the primal force within him subside.

Yunbing swayed her hips, approaching Xiao Ye with hopeful eyes, "So, how about it? The Vitality Pills for enrollment in Kunpeng Academy!"

"No." Xiao Ye declined, holding onto his principles. He wanted to join Kunpeng Academy on merit, not because of temptations.

Unperturbed, Yunbing slowly pulled out nine more bottles, placing them on the table, "Ten bottles of Vitality Pills, how's that?"

Xiao Ye shook his head.

Yunbing retrieved ten more potions from her pocket, "Plus ten Pillar Potions to ensure endless vigor."

Xiao Ye was tempted but shook his head again.

Yunbing gritted her teeth and produced ten bottles of Diamond Supreme's prized balm, "Invincible Diamond Balm, how about it?"

Watching Xiao Ye remain unyielding in his principles, Yunbing sighed, "Alright, I understand." She reached to collect the thirty bottles.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her, and Yunbing looked at Xiao Ye with surprise. He earnestly said:

"I agree to your terms, but besides these, add cash!"

"!!!" Yunbing was shocked, her Kunpeng eyes wide.

She was stunned.

"Fine, fine, haha!" Yunbing laughed, pulling out more items from her pocket.

"Ten low-grade master crystals, ten mid-grade master crystals, ten high-grade master crystals."

"A property deed for a detached villa in Magic City's inner third ring."

"A honorary assistant dean identity card."

"A pair of my original silk stockings."

The table was piled with items, nearly overflowing, but what was with those black stockings?

Yunbing smirked, "Xiao Ye, how does it feel, is it enough?"

Xiao Ye gathered all the items into a bag, holding it tightly, declaring, "Dean Yunbing, from now on, I am a student of your Magic City's top Beastmaster Academy: Kunpeng Combat Academy!"

"I've always admired Kunpeng Combat Academy and wanted to join—not because of the gifts!"

Saying this, Xiao Ye hugged the bag and dashed out the door.

Watching his hunched figure disappear, Yunbing's mouth twitched, "I believe you, you sly young man."

Yunbing, relieved, flopped onto the bed, "Finally got these three top scorers."

"Hmph, that rascal Xiao Ye was quite a challenge."

But it seemed the biggest loser was Diamond Supreme.

Back in his room, Xiao Ye finally unleashed the primal force within him.

The next morning.

"Knock-knock-knock!"

Xiao Ye and the others were awakened by the knocking.

After freshening up, they were called to the city lord's mansion by the city lord couple.

With disheveled hair, they arrived to find themselves surrounded by nine burly men.

"Xiao Ye, I'm the admissions director from Imperial City University. Graduating from our university guarantees a government position."

"Cheng Bingxi, I'm a recruitment teacher from Jinling University. Enroll, and you'll get a villa."

"Nangong Siyao, we have many handsome boys at Hangzhou University, interested?"

These nine burly men were recruitment officers from the top universities of the other nine super base cities, here to recruit the top scorers.

Faced with the enticing offers, Xiao Ye and the others shook their heads, unmoved.

"Heh, you're too stingy. At Jiang City University, not only are tuition fees waived, but we also offer ten high-grade master crystals," one scoffed.

"Pfft, just waiving tuition? Hangzhou University does that too! Plus, we have many handsome scholars these female top scorers will love," another confidently added.

"Hey, where's Magic City's recruiter? Not here?"

"Seems not. But it's better this way. Apocalypse Magic City is not only the national economic center but also a beauty hub. If they come, young Xiao Ye might be swayed."

"True, true, fewer competitors is better."

Just as the nine men felt pleased, an alluring beast-eared maiden appeared.
