Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1338 - 1338 1297 Seeing Na Lanxuan Again

1338: Chapter 1297: Seeing Na Lanxuan Again 1338: Chapter 1297: Seeing Na Lanxuan Again Lu Chuan was not coming to Azure Dragon Academy for the first time.

Familiar with its internal layout, he quickly found the courtyard where Nalan Xuan resided.

He knocked lightly on the courtyard door, which opened in response.

Inside, Nalan Xuan was sitting down, holding an old-looking book in her hands, staring at it intently.

“Qingyun…

right?

Even tricked my little page boy.”

Lu Chuan shrugged and said with a chuckle, “He looked rather adorable, so I teased him a little.

Surely Dean Nalan wouldn’t mind, would she?”

“Take a seat.

Tell me, what brings you here to see me?”

Nalan Xuan put down the ancient book and cast her gaze toward Lu Chuan.

A single glance was enough to make Lu Chuan feel an uncontrollable heat coursing through him.

What an alluring enchantress.

Even Lu Chuan had to admit, aside from Yun Ji, Nalan Xuan was probably the most captivating woman he’d ever laid eyes on.

But Yun Ji, being a fox tribe woman, exuded an innate charm that surpassed all human women combined.

As far as human women went, Nalan Xuan was peerless.

Her softness, hidden beneath layers of silk and gauze, was faintly visible, and her plump curves restrained by her long skirt hinted at a world of desire.

With just one glance, she exuded countless layers of temptation.

And Nalan Xuan was well aware of this.

She didn’t feign modesty or attempt to hide her allure; she embraced it unapologetically.

Yet Lu Chuan quickly regained his composure.

He hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit: the Human Emperor’s Pendant.

Besides, with Nalan Xuan’s age, she was old enough to be his ancestor.

Her strength was unfathomable.

Lu Chuan knew he couldn’t possibly handle a woman like her, so he suppressed even the slightest improper thought.

“I must say, it’s quite surprising.

You reached the Nascent Soul Realm so quickly.”

“I must thank Dean Nalan for gifting me that treasure last time.

It made things twice as effective, allowing me to break through so swiftly.”

“That seed might be powerful, but not everyone can refine it.

If shortcuts existed that allowed one to ascend effortlessly, even pigs could cultivate.”

“Dean Nalan is absolutely right.”

Lu Chuan nodded, struggling to move his gaze away from Nalan Xuan.

He never expected that Nalan Xuan would suddenly rest a jade-like foot on Lu Chuan’s leg.

Her toes, tender and white, curled ever so slightly.

Judging by this youthful body alone, it was hard to imagine that the woman in question had been guarding Azure Dragon Academy for over a century.

“Your body’s really getting stronger.

You know, Lu Chuan, why don’t you stay here?

Serve as my companion, would you?”

Nalan Xuan gave a faint laugh, casually setting the ancient book aside before boldly sitting on Lu Chuan’s lap.

Feeling the warmth and softness of the body in his arms, Lu Chuan’s face immediately flushed red.

Dammit, this is just too much to bear!

If it hadn’t been for the intimate night he just spent with Ji Weiwei yesterday, Lu Chuan feared he might already have lost all control.

“Hmm?

You’re holding back pretty well.

What’s wrong?

Am I too old and less attractive now?”

“How could that be?

Dean Nalan is as enchanting as a celestial goddess.

There’s no one like you.”

“What a sweet talker.

But I don’t see you moved at all.”

“Haha…”

Moved?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Lu Chuan had no doubt that if Nalan Xuan wanted to, she could twist his head off at any moment.

Falling for such a woman was as dangerous as bargaining with a tiger.

“Tsk, no fun at all.

Lu Chuan, could it be that…

you’re not capable?”

“…”

“Alright, enough teasing.

Tell me, what brings you to me this time?”

Seeing that Lu Chuan remained unmoved, Nalan Xuan lost interest.

Given her status, she certainly wouldn’t resort to forcing Lu Chuan.

Although she couldn’t deny that Lu Chuan—when disguised as Master Qingyun—had deeply intrigued her, his repeated refusal to respond to her provocations had been a rare and frustrating experience for someone of her beauty.

“Dean Nalan, I’ve heard…

that the Human Emperor’s Pendant is at Azure Dragon Academy.

I was wondering if—”

Before Lu Chuan could finish speaking, an ink stroke shot forth like a radiant arc.

Instinctively, Lu Chuan summoned a barrier of spiritual power, narrowly avoiding being struck down by the ink.

“Dean Nalan, what is the meaning of this?”

“Leave now, Lu Chuan, before I truly lose my temper.”

“Why?

Just because of the Human Emperor’s Pendant?”

“If you dare mention that thing again, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

Facing Nalan Xuan’s furious almond-shaped eyes, Lu Chuan felt a sudden chill in his heart.

“Tower Spirit, Tower Spirit, could you defeat Nalan Xuan?”

“Yes, but…

it would destroy the entire Azure Dragon Academy.”

“Then that’s as good as useless.”

If destroying Azure Dragon Academy guaranteed getting the Human Emperor’s Pendant, Lu Chuan would have done so already!

From Nalan Xuan’s reaction, it was evident that she knew the Pendant’s whereabouts.

What puzzled him was why the mere mention of it incited such rage in her.

“Dean Nalan, please calm down…”

“Lu Chuan, I won’t repeat myself a third time.

Leave now.”

Her tone made it clear.

Lu Chuan could feel Nalan Xuan’s aura locking onto him.

If he uttered another unnecessary word, she’d strike without hesitation.

Not wishing to risk his life, Lu Chuan had no choice but to turn and leave.

On his way out, he encountered Zhuzhen, the little page boy who had come to report to Dean Nalan.

The boy tripped and landed flat on his bottom.

Rubbing his backside in frustration, he looked up to see Lu Chuan and immediately began yelling, “Dean!

It’s this bad man!

He tricked me by saying leaves were candy.

He cheated a child!”

“Zhuzhen, go study.”

“But Dean!”

“If you don’t go study, you’ll be punished with the paddle.”

“Understood…”

Zhuzhen pouted and lumbered off reluctantly, but Lu Chuan found nothing amusing about the encounter.

The radiant ink stroke that had locked onto him earlier wasn’t a joke—Nalan Xuan truly would have acted.

After leaving Azure Dragon Academy, Lu Chuan felt a headache coming on.

He didn’t want to make an enemy out of Nalan Xuan or Azure Dragon Academy itself, so he couldn’t accept the Tower Spirit’s suggestion to destroy the place.

But whatever had happened concerning the Human Emperor’s Pendant remained a mystery to him.

The Pendant’s whereabouts were known only to Nalan Xuan.

If he couldn’t get past this hurdle, how was he supposed to collect all three pendants of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity?

Barreling through the gates was clearly not an option, leaving Lu Chuan no choice but to strategize further.

Returning to the Tang Family Ancestral Home, it was already late.

Lu Chuan had considered asking his uncle about the connection between Azure Dragon Academy and the Human Emperor’s Pendant, but thinking his uncle might already be asleep, he put the idea aside for now.

However, as soon as Lu Chuan pushed the door open, he saw Tang Yurou sitting on the bed, staring at him with a resentful expression, like a wife left waiting alone.

“Brother Lu Chuan, why are you back so late?

Tell me now, where did you go yesterday?

Who was that woman?”

“Don’t jump to conclusions.

I just came back from Azure Dragon Academy.”

“Azure Dragon Academy?

Brother Lu Chuan, what were you doing at Azure Dragon Academy?”
