Seeing Yue Kai’s trio acting that way, the corner of Xie Feng’s mouth contracted several times.


    Although his appearance had be much more perfect than before, the facial features that only belonged to him, and set him apart from the rest, were still there. Therefore, as long as a person looked at him with a little attention, they would certainly notice who he was.


    So, he knew that these three guys were ying with him.


    While his left eye trembled and contained the urge to hit them, Xie Feng replied, "You three... my morning was not very pleasant... and since yesterday, many strange things happened to me, so... if you don’t want a beating," Xie Feng paused for a moment and then continued talking in a calm but louder tone of voice than before, "You better stop bothering me!".


    """Kek!"""


    As if they had trained it beforehand, the three reacted in the same way and they quickly surrounded Xie Feng.


    "Big brother Xie, what the hell happened to you? Did you get a beauty treatment or something? How is it possible that from one day to the next, you went from an ugly duckling to a charming prince," Yue Kai bombarded with questions.


    Xie Feng rolled his eyes, "Well, I’m sorry for being an ugly duckling, but at least no one ever confused me with being a woman... To be honest, it’s hard to exin, just ept reality. It’ll be easier for me that way since I’m not even sure what the hell is going on here".


    The three looked at each other and after a moment of hesitation, they stopped asking questions about Xie Feng’s appearance.


    He gave them a grateful look for understanding, as he really wasn’t 100% sure what was wrong here.


    Suddenly, Xie Feng remembered something and looked at Hu Chen: "Hu Chen, just a moment ago you said that a yer beat the despair mode in Samsara Online. Is this news legitimate?".


    Hu Chen nodded and gestured to Xie Feng with his hand to tell him to wait a moment. Then he started looking for something on his mobile phone. He said, "Look, read this".


    After some searching, Hu Chen finally found what he was looking for and gave his mobile phone to Xie Feng.


    At a nce, Xie Feng realized that this was the official forum of Samsara Online, so the news published here cannot be negated. At least, not the ones published by the staff members.


    There, there was a piece of very recent news, in fact, it only happened a few minutes ago but the news had already be world news:


    "Today, February 7th, 2030, two weeks after the officialunch of the 100% immersive virtual reality video game, Samsara Online, the second yer to sessfully beat the Beginner’s Vige trial was born and, just like the first, this second challenger did it alone".


    Xie Feng looked at Hu Chen and asked, "What is this yer’s name?".


    Hu Chen simply waved his hand, "Just slide down a little further, that person’s nickname is there".


    Xie Feng did what he said and, indeed, the yer’s name was there, but... When he saw the yer’s name, a strange look crossed his face, and he unconsciously looked at Hu Chen.


    Apparently understanding his thoughts, Hu Chen gave him a strange look, "<i>*Cough*</i>... Well, suppose this yer is a woman... otherwise, ’F’ for you big bro...Pffft- Hahahaha!". Hu Chen finally could not contain hisughter any longer and burst outughing.


    Not only Hu Chen. Xiao Luo and Yue Kai also began tough.


    Because except for people close to him, no one else knows his identity in the virtual world, the rest of the ss looked at them as if they had gone crazy.


    With a tired look, Xie Feng looked at the clouds through the window and whispered, "Can there really be such a coincidence... or is destiny teasing me?".


    He turned his gaze to the cell phone screen and, there, was only one word written;


    Kali.


    Kali is a Goddess of the Hindu religion, like Shiva. What is more, Kali is one of the consorts of Shiva, the God of Destruction. Therefore, Xie Feng could only pray silently that this person be a woman and not a man with strange tastes.


    Although Xie Feng is not homophobic, that is as long as it does not involve him... Therefore, with a dead expression on his face, he prayed: "To all the beloved gods, please... Please let this person be a woman!".


    He did not give too much importance to this news. It would be a lie to say that he was not surprised, after all, he experienced the strength of the Guardian of Hell himself. But that is all, surprise. He is not so arrogant to think that only he could do such a thing, after all, this world is very big.


    The first to stopughing was Yue Kai and when he saw his expression getting a little ugly, Xie Feng frowned and asked, "Hey, is something wrong?".


    Yue Kai spoke in a soft, low, and calm tone of voice as if nothing bad had happened when he asked: "Big Brother Xie. Now that I think about it carefully, a moment ago you said ’but at least no one ever confused me with being a woman’... May I ask what you meant by that?".


    <i>*Cough*... *Cough*... *Cough*</i>


    Hu Chen and Xiao Luo, who wereughing, started coughing furiously. Still coughing and with a look of incredulity, Xiao Luo answered him:


    "I say, Yue Kai... Apart from you, is there anyone else here who has been confused with a woman? Big brother Xie Feng was naturally talking about you".


    Yue Kai stood up. His face was red and his body was apparently shaking with anger, "You bastards! Do you really want to fight!?".


    Now it was Xie Feng’s turn to join his friends and as if by agreement, the three of them backed up slightly and said:


    """Kek!"""


    ***


    "Miss An had somest minute personal problems, so just a few moments ago she informed us that she will not be able toe to work today. So, all of you should study on your own during this free time. That is all". After giving a brief but concise report, the English teacher left the ssroom.


    The full name of the teacher who could note to work due to personal problems was Riu An, and she was a teacher of Economic History.


    Yue Kai, the most yful of the four, turned around and supported his body on Xie Feng’s table, "Big Brother Xie, let’s y basketball? The court is surely free at this time, we can use it for ourselves".


    Hu Chen and Xiao Luo had alsoe close so they could hear clearly what Yue Kai said. The eyes of the duo lit up, clearly interested in the proposal.


    "Hey, Yue Kai, count me in too".


    "I am in!"


    "So am I!"


    Three other guys nearby seemed interested in the idea so they quickly expressed their intention to y.


    Xie Feng looked at the leaf on his watch and saw that it was twelve noon. It was still an hour before Xie Yao’s and Gu Qianxue’s sses ended, so he had to stay at the university anyway.


    "All right, I’m ying too. See you at the gym in twenty minutes", said Xie Feng as he stood up and put the jacket on.


    "Uh? Do you have something to do?" Xiao Luo asked in confusion.


    Xie Feng started to walk towards the ssroom door and answered without looking back: "Something like that. See you in the gym soon!".


    Seeing the silhouette of Xie Feng disappearing at the end of the corridor, Yue Kai looked at the 5 guys, including Hu Chen and Xiao Luo, and pped, "Okay, let’s go to the gym and start warming up!".


    All five agreed and without dy went to the gym.


    _____________


    With both hands in his pants pockets, Xie Feng walked through the lonely, silent corridors of Shanghai University.


    Since all the students were in ss, the only thing that could be heard apart from the small murmurs that escaped the ssrooms were their footsteps echoing through the ce.


    As he headed for his destination and looked out at the sky through the big windows, the soft voice of a woman interrupted his thoughts:


    "Excuse me, may I disturb you for a moment?"


    Stopping his steps, he looked ahead and saw that at some point, two women appeared in front of him.


    One of them was slowly approaching middle age and was wearing professional clothes, like a secretary. The other woman was wearing a white dress, heels, and a beige zer.


    The strange thing is that the woman in the white dress also had a beautiful French beret and a scarf that covered most of her face.


    Xie Feng took his hands out of his pockets for education and asked, "Yes? Do you need anything?".


    The woman who spoke earlier, in the white dress, spoke in a slightly ufortable tone: "Well... I am currently lost and I don’t know where the principal’s office is..."


    Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at the two women strangely, ’I guess they are not students here? It doesn’t matter’.


    He pointed behind him and said, "This is the Economics and Business building, but if you go out that door over there, you’ll see a huge gym. Just go to the building on the right side of the gym and you will get to the administration room. Then it’s easy".


    The woman dressed in white sighed with relief and thanked him: "Thank you very much indeed, I had a meeting with the principal but I am alreadyte".


    Xie Feng smiled slightly and shook his head, "There is nothing to thank for".


    After saying that, he began to walk away and said, "Good luck".


    Both women turned their bodies slightly and looked at Xie Feng’s back as he went more and more away.


    "What a handsome young man". Said the woman dressed professionally.


    The woman wearing a white dress nodded in agreement with her words andmented, "But, he is dangerous".


    "Xinya, what do you mean by that?".


    Shen Xinya smiled slightly and while looking at Xie Feng’s back, she said, "His smile, was a fake smile. Although he hid it perfectly, I can tell. Behind that smile, there is probably a big bad wolf".


    Yin Yue, confused, asked, "How are you so sure?".


    "Because in the past I met a person just like him... Although it was something many years ago". A moment of pain shed through her beautiful eyes, however, after a second, she quickly hid it. Shen Xinya shook her head and started walking forward.


    Suddenly, Shen Xinya became a little devil andughed, "If that handsome guy is a big bad wolf... Then wouldn’t I be Little Red Hood lost in the woods, and the principal my grandmother~?".


    "Xinya, you!"


    "Hehe~"


    _____________


    After a few minutes, Xie Feng finally arrived at his destination.


    In front of him was a beautiful, costly, and luxurious opera piano. With a slight daze, he approached and gently caressed the surface of the piano.
