At Spirit Hall Academy, many male students were fond of Hu Liena due to her beauty.
However, because of Hu Liena's exceptional talent, not many were qualified to like her.
As one of the three members of the Golden Generation in the original work, Yan's talent was, of course, self-evident.
For this reason, he believed he was qualified to pursue Hu Liena, and only he had that qualification.
But as the saying goes, 'the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is unfeeling.'
Although Yan liked Hu Liena, she did not like him.
In the original work, Hu Liena was deeply devoted to Tang San, and even after Tang San became a god, she remained alone until old age and never accepted Yan.
Now, Tang San had been devoured by Ling Yun, so it was impossible for Hu Liena to like Tang San anymore.
But Ling Yun's appearance had now made Hu Liena admire him.
Therefore, it was only natural for Yan to feel hostility towards Ling Yun.
Ling Yun's lips curved into a strange smile as he looked at Yan with disdain.
"What? I can't defeat a Spirit Emperor-level expert, but you, a 26th-level Spirit Grandmaster, can?
Kid, if you lack strength yourself, don't assume everyone else is as useless as you, or else jealousy will disfigure you."
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he stood up and gazed gently at Hu Liena.
"Nana, since you've arrived at the Academy, I should leave, lest some people become so jealous they wish to kill me."
With that, Ling Yun turned and walked away gracefully, not bothering to waste words with them.
"Wait, Brother Yun." Hu Liena quickly took two steps in one, rushing behind Ling Yun and taking his hand.
"What's wrong, little girl?" Ling Yun, whose hand was held by Hu Liena, turned his head back in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Hu Liena leaped up from the ground, and her red lips pressed a heavy kiss onto Ling Yun's right cheek.
Hu Liena's action not only caused Ling Yun's mind to freeze but also caused Xie Yue, Yan, and others, as well as all the students at the entrance of Spirit Hall Academy who witnessed this scene, to freeze.
Feeling the strange gazes from countless eyes, Hu Liena released Ling Yun's hand, covered her face with both hands, and ran towards the entrance of Spirit Hall Academy, quickly disappearing from Ling Yun's sight.
Yan reacted, looking at Ling Yun with all sorts of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Not only Yan, but also many students who admired Hu Liena felt envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Ling Yun.
If looks could kill, Ling Yun would probably have been sliced into a thousand pieces by now.
Ling Yun touched his cheek with his hand, revealing a strange smile; indeed, being handsome was different.
Just by putting on a show, he could make a beauty like Hu Liena throw herself into his arms.
He thought of his previous life, when he was a 24K pure loser, not outstanding in appearance and not particularly good at studying.
So even if he met a girl he liked and actively approached her, she would simply ignore him.
He never expected that in this new life, although he wasn't human at the start, he now possessed a handsome appearance that countless boys envied.
Alas, being too handsome was truly a sin.
Ling Yun arrived at the carriage rental place in Spirit City, preparing to rent a carriage back to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Although transforming into a Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger or a Bloodthirsty Griffin, or other flying Spirit Beasts, would make the return to Blue Tyrant Academy much faster.
However, this was Spirit City after all, and there were many powerful existences, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ling Yun decided to keep a low profile.
After three days on the road, Ling Yun finally arrived at a spot less than five kilometers outside Heaven Dou Imperial City.
There was a small grove of trees there, perfect for Ling Yun to transform, so he requested to get off the carriage.
However, the coachman was a bit puzzled; hadn't they agreed to go to Heaven Dou Imperial City? Why was he suddenly demanding to get off when there were still about five kilometers left?
So the coachman thought Ling Yun wanted to shortchange him on some gold coins and wanted to get off early, so he ignored Ling Yun's request.
Ling Yun was displeased. 'I have no intention of shortchanging you; I just want to get off early. Why won't you let me, you son of a turtle?'
"Hey, did you not hear me tell you to stop? Do you still want your gold coins?"
Ling Yun slapped the coachman on the forehead, glaring at him menacingly.
The coachman's head was slapped, and he quickly stopped the carriage, glaring back at Ling Yun, wanting to question what he was trying to do.
Ling Yun pulled out double the fare from his pocket, making the coachman's eyes widen.
"Do you want this money? Originally, Xiao Ye wanted to give you double the fare, since you've worked hard for three days and three nights."
Ling Yun winked at the coachman.
The coachman's eyes were fixed on the double gold coins in Ling Yun's hand, and he nodded repeatedly, saliva almost drooling from his mouth.
Ling Yun snorted lightly and directly took a quarter of the gold coins.
"Xiao Ye is the customer, which means your God. When I tell you to stop, you should stop, with absolutely no resistance.
But you were afraid I'd shortchange you and didn't listen to my command, so I'm penalizing you a quarter of your earnings."
Seeing a quarter of the money taken away, the coachman's face twitched, feeling a great pang of heartache.
However, he thought that a quarter of the double fare still meant half more than the originally agreed-upon fare, and his eyes lit up with fervent desire again.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun took another quarter and snorted coldly.
"Your service attitude is too poor; you're completely obsessed with money. So I'm penalizing you another quarter of your income, to teach you to listen to customers' requests properly in the future."
Ling Yun pocketed the last remaining half of the extra gold coins, handed the rest to the coachman, and then directly got off the carriage.
The coachman watched as half of the gold coins were directly gone, leaving only the originally agreed-upon price, and his heart ached greatly.
Although the money was the same as the original agreed price, not a single bit less, the coachman felt he had suffered a huge loss.
After all, the journey from Spirit City to Heaven Dou Imperial City was originally a big business, and such long-distance business was rare.
One trip could earn over ten gold coins, and double the price meant dozens of gold coins.
These dozens of gold coins were enough for an ordinary family to live a comfortable life for several years in Spirit City or Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Now that the money was suddenly halved, the coachman was so angry he felt like spitting blood.
Ling Yun watched his reaction, secretly chuckled, and then handed the other half of the gold coins he had taken to the coachman.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Here's your money. I just wanted to teach you the concept that the customer is God.
The customer wants to stop wherever they want, as long as your fare isn't shortchanged. This is a carriage, not a bus."
The coachman looked at the other half of the fare Ling Yun handed over, his face full of confusion.
However, he took the money without thinking and drove the carriage away, fearing Ling Yun might change his mind.
Ling Yun watched the carriage leave, then walked towards the small grove.
Some time later, a child who appeared to be six or seven years old walked out of the forest and headed towards Heaven Dou Imperial City...
