Chapter 73: What’s so good about a skirt?
Shao Ren called out a few more times, but seeing Chen An unmoved, he could only awkwardly scratch his head and set off with the other two.
After they left, Chen An got up and walked out of the annex.
The evening breeze was cool and pleasant.
Mount Longhu is actually very large, not a single mountain as people usually understand it, but like Mount Qingcheng, it is a continuous mountain range.
It can easily accommodate a few hundred people.
Chen An’s dormitory was located closest to the outside world.
He stood on the road, surrounded by large areas of greenery, as well as trash cans and road signs everywhere.
It was very modern.
It must have been planned long ago, and is only now officially in use.
Chen An followed the road inward.
People passed by him from time to time, and as they came and went, he could hear their exclamations of admiration for the surrounding scenery.
The clouds were misty, and one could see far from a height.
When had these incoming freshmen ever seen such a magnificent scene?
As he walked, Chen An suddenly thought of something.
He… didn’t seem to know where Luo Cong’an lived.
Perhaps it was his mindset, or perhaps it was his personality.
Chen An did many things very casually now.
For example, his decision to find Luo Cong’an to ask some questions was a sudden whim.
Since he hadn’t planned ahead, he naturally hadn’t asked for her address.
So, what should he do?
Chen An stood at a crossroads, feeling a bit lost.
Someone beside him noticed his dazed look and couldn’t help but chuckle, covering his mouth.
Chen An looked over and saw a stylishly dressed, alluring girl.
She had the popular wavy hair, a ring of eyeshadow, and was wearing a short uniform skirt.
An outsider might think this was not a place of immortal cultivation, but an ordinary university.
The wind blowing in the mountains was not small, especially as evening approached, carrying some chill.
To dare to go out on a cold evening wearing a short skirt was indeed a mark of a brave warrior.
Her long legs beneath the skirt constantly attracted the attention of passersby.
Seeing Chen An looking at her, the girl did not seem shy. Instead, she boldly puffed out her chest and walked directly towards him.
Her gaze was fixed on Chen An, like a predator spotting its prey.
As the girl approached, she casually brushed her hair back, a common tactic to seduce pure-hearted young men.
Obviously, she also considered Chen An to be a pure-hearted young man.
The type who looked so clueless, they just wanted to tease him.
“What, do you like looking at my legs so much?”
Wang Jingrou chuckled playfully and spoke first.
She knew exactly how to manipulate the hearts of these pure-hearted young men.
Unlike dealing with sycophants, if you act aloof and play hard to get with this type, they would likely retreat on their own.
This was why Wang Jingrou chose to take the initiative.
Sometimes, a little boldness could actually increase favorability.
However, she didn’t use this tactic with just anyone. It was only because the guy she met today really caught her eye.
Otherwise, Wang Jingrou would likely have chosen to remain reserved.
After all, when it comes to approaching someone, the one who makes the first move is always at a disadvantage.
Chen An did not look away and said, “I wasn’t looking at your legs.”
Wang Jingrou was taken aback, then gave a smile, but it was a smile of amusement and slight annoyance.
“I thought you were some pure little boy, but I didn’t expect you to be so good at lying with a straight face.”
Wang Jingrou snorted, “If you weren’t looking at my legs, what were you looking at?”
Even in Wang Jingrou’s opinion, this was already “exposing him to his face.”
But Chen An’s expression remained calm, showing no signs of shame.
He simply answered honestly, “I was looking at your skirt.”
“My skirt?”
Wang Jingrou’s smile faltered, and she looked confused.
“What’s so good about a skirt?”
She looked down and twirled around, not noticing anything unusual.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, lifting the hem of her short skirt.
The girl cried out in surprise and quickly used her hand to cover her restless skirt.
Chen An raised an eyebrow.
“Because I wanted to see if the anti-gravity skirts in anime exist in reality.”
Wang Jingrou’s cheeks flushed.
Even though she considered herself a seasoned heartbreaker, the scene that had just unfolded was still a bit too much for an eighteen-year-old girl.
She glared at Chen An with a mixture of shame and annoyance.
“Pah! You pervert!”
Chen An was unconcerned. He simply lifted his foot, preparing to walk around the girl.
Wang Jingrou called out to him.
“Hey, you’re so weird. Aren’t you angry when I say that to you?”
Chen An stopped in his tracks. “Why should I be angry?”
Hearing this, Wang Jingrou fidgeted a bit, saying somewhat shyly, “I mean, when I called you a pervert… I didn’t actually mean it like that, I just spoke too quickly…”
Chen An patiently waited for her to finish, then smiled, “If a random person says a few words, and you let it make you feel emotions like inferiority or anger, wouldn’t it be too tiring to live like that?”
Wang Jingrou was stunned. While she felt a little annoyed, she couldn’t find anything to refute him with.
It was as if he was saying she was an insignificant person.
Though, that was indeed the case…
Wang Jingrou shook her head, unwilling to dwell on it.
She remembered her original purpose: she had come to flirt, not to lecture.
A sly glint flashed in Wang Jingrou’s eyes, and she changed the subject, “I saw you standing at this intersection for a long time. You must not know the way, right?”
They were all new students, arriving in a completely unfamiliar environment, so it was quite normal not to know the way.
She chuckled and pointed ahead of Chen An.
“Let me guess, are you planning to go to the cafeteria?”
Chen An shook his head.
Wang Jingrou was surprised. She looked at Chen An carefully again, then said seriously, “No matter what you’re doing, this road is definitely not an option.”
This piqued Chen An’s interest, and he turned around. “Why?”
“Because this is the road leading to the back mountain, which is where the Immortal Masters of Mount Longhu who have achieved the Tao reside for their reclusive cultivation.”
“Furthermore, it’s where some teachers and high-ranking leaders live, and students are forbidden to enter.”
Wang Jingrou finished in one breath, placing her hands on her hips and looking at Chen An with a proud expression, as if expecting praise.
Chen An very cooperatively read aloud, “That’s amazing, I didn’t expect you to know so much.”
He then changed the subject, “But I didn’t see any signs prohibiting entry, nor any guards.”
Wang Jingrou chuckled, “You’re not the only one who thinks that.”
“Do you think no one has ever tried to sneak in?”
A mischievous smile appeared on her face. “There are actual formations on this road. Without an Immortal Master leading the way, we ordinary people who enter will only…”
Wang Jingrou’s words abruptly stopped.
Because she saw the handsome young man already stepping into it.
