Chapter 145: The First Day in the Martial Arts Academy

The two of them only separated after a while.

Fang Jie who was experiencing it for the first time felt like he had fallen into pleasure. For Chen Qingshan who was also experiencing it for the first time, this young man lacked the care that he should show toward her. This young man became berserk, making her not even having the energy to sit upright now

Chen Qingshan felt complicated emotions when she saw Fang Jie’s expression that was slightly twisted due to pleasure; she was a bit happy, a bit pleased, and a bit proud. However, she didn’t feel anything physical other than pain, but she didn’t stop that young man’s aggressive actions.

Right now, she didn’t even know what emotions she had toward this young man.

Everything was too abrupt, even though she thought that she mentally prepared herself.

While panting on the bed, she reached out her hand and smoothed the young man’s hair. Lying beside him, she suddenly wanted to love him.

Chen Qingshan’s fingers slid across Fang Jie’s solid chest, feeling his body temperature and sweat.

Fang Jie, on the other hand, was still intoxicated by the fascinating feeling. He turned his head and saw Chen Qingshan’s soft chest pressed on his chest; one could only feel the fascination in person.

Since Fang Jie still hadn’t calmed down, he didn’t even think about if his action was right or wrong.

However, he liked this moment and wanted to treasure it.

Compared with his bronze body, Chen Qingshan’s body was a little eye-piercing. One of her legs rested over that of Fang Jie, and the curves and beauty made Fang Jie unable to look away.

The two of them hugged each other and stayed like this for a long while. None of them talked, and they calmed down slightly when their breathing returned to normal.

“I… only don’t want to lose to my senior sister. You know that, right?”

Chen Qingshan let go of Fang Jie, and she also moved her legs away. Then, she pulled over the thin quilt and wrapped herself in it; she didn’t even want to show her eyes anymore.

Fang Jie didn’t know how to respond to Chen Qingshan.

Even though Chen Qingshan’s calm words made him a little uncomfortable, the fact that he couldn’t find the words to express himself frustrated him even more.

Until now, Fang Jie didn’t even know what was on his mind. Although he calmed down, he felt like his mind was in more of a mess.

He never imagined that this would happen before he stepped into Chen Qingshan’s room, and he wasn’t able to think in the moment.

Perhaps no man could think logically in that situation.

Seeing Chen Qingshan curled up in the quilt, Fang Jie suddenly felt like this strong woman was extremely fragile at this moment; it felt like she would break if someone touched her.

Fang Jie’s heart ached for her. When he reached out and tried to touch her face that was still red, Chen Qingshan moved back slightly and whispered, “You should go.”

Her voice was slightly hoarse.

Fang Jie’s body stiffed, and his hand froze in mid-air as he didn’t know what to do.

After a while, he slowly moved away his hand. Seeing this, Chen Qingshan’s eyes dimmed a little, and she tightened the quilt around her body and hugging herself.

“Yeah… I should go.”

Fang Jie sat up, and his body was covered in sweat.

He looked at the door and the window.

“They are closed, but are they useful?” he suddenly asked this question.

Chen Qingshan froze and didn’t understand what Fang Jie meant.

“I’m still young, yet I’m a man.” Fang Jie smiled dashingly and said, “It doesn’t matter what you say, I’m sitting beside you naked, and you are naked as well. If I open the door right now, how would they react? What else other than being surprised? They should smile kindly and bless us.”

Fang Jie looked at Chen Qingshan in her eyes and said earnestly, “Therefore, even if you are telling the truth earlier, and you are only lying beside me because you don’t want to lose to Sister Xiaoyao, I have to tell you that you are mine from now on. Since you are mine, you need to know something. When you are together with me, I won’t allow you to feel bad.”

“Huh?” Chen Qingshan was surprised and couldn’t react.

Fang Jie could only sigh when he saw this woman zoning out, then he suddenly pulled away the quilt that covered her.

Chen Qingshan’s perfect body was exposed in his eyes again, and Chen Qingshan could only gasp and try to cover her body with her arms.

Fang Jie caught her arms and pressed his body onto hers. He said proudly, “You aren’t allowed to wear that cheongsam in public. If you want to wear it, you can wear it in your room with the door and window closed like now. Slap anyone who dares to approach your room. When others ask you who you are, remember to add that you are my woman. Even though the Martial Arts Academy has rules in place and doesn’t allow students to leave the academy freely, I will sneak back to see you regularly.”

“Why would you want to see me?” Chen Qingshan’s smile was extremely charming.

“Do you!” Fang Jie squeezed those two words through his teeth and pulled Chen Qingshan’s legs open.

“No!”

“No?”

“You will be late. The Martial Arts Academy has many rules…”

“F*ck those rules!”

…

Fang Jie stayed in Chen Qingshan’s room for too long, long enough for Da Quan to chuckle non-stop, for Qi Lin to walk around in the yard, and for the groom of the horse-drawn carriage in front of the gate to sleep and dream.

When Fang Jie came out of the room, they felt like he changed into another person.

It felt like he became a real man, and his chin was slightly raised.

Da Quan was still chuckling, and Qi Lin heaved a sigh of relief.

“Sorry for making you wait so long.” Fang Jie smiled at Qi Lin apologetically, but he glared at Da Quan.

Qi Lin said, “This is the first day. It wouldn’t be good for you to be late.”

Fang Jie replied, “Let’s go.”

Then, he glared at Da Quan and snorted. “You squatted here since the beginning?”

“No, no, no… I just got here. I wanted to call you, but my stomach started to hurt when I got close. I was just about to call you. I swear!”

“BS!” Fang Jie cursed, “You squatted here because you have a stomachache? Are you planning to go number two in your pants?”

Da Quan replied smugly, “Does it have to be that? Plus, I have done worse things.”

Then, he changed the topic and smiled before whispering to Fang Jie, “How was it? You got it?”

“Got what?” Fang Jie rolled his eyes but looked back at the room subconsciously. He saw Chen Qingshan standing by the window in her dress and waving at him.

Da Quan saw the truth in Fang Jie’s eyes and laughed, “I told you so. You got to keep the goodies in the family. If you don’t get these two beauties, then all my teachings would have gone to waste on you.”

Fang Jie felt speechless. After a moment, he told Da Quan about the tailor shop and asked him to monitor those tailors; the blueprints and finished products couldn’t be taken out of the shop.

After Fang Jie walked to the gate, he turned around and looked at Gold-Sharing Duke’s residence and whispered in his mind, “Goodbye.”

Then, he got on the horse-drawn carriage with Qi Lin.

According to the rules of the academy, each student could bring one attendant with them.

After thinking for a bit, Fang Jie chose Qi Lin.

If he brought Da Quan, the latter might cause trouble. If he brought Chen Qingshan, it would definitely cause a big scene. Although Qi Lin was big and muscular, he was silent and reserved. If others didn’t offend him, he wouldn’t do anything to others.

The horse-drawn carriage moved on the wide street smoothly, and Fang Jie was silent in the carriage.

Qi Lin thought that Fang Jie was thinking about his future in the Martial Arts Academy, so he didn’t disturb him. However, Fang Jie was thinking about what he did with Chen Qingshan earlier. He would think about Chen Qingshan’s body when he closed his eyes; how could he calm down?

Until now, Fang Jie still didn’t know what emotions Chen Qingshan had toward him. He didn’t think it was pure love between a man and a woman. At least he didn’t think he was powerful enough to conquer Chen Qingshan. This woman was sickeningly powerful.

On the way, Fang Jie kept on thinking about why Chen Qingshan made this decision.

When he got to the Martial Arts Academy, Fang Jie felt like he was being hypocritical. Since Chen Qingshan already gave herself to him, he was still thinking about why she liked him. This was a sign of low self-esteem.

After getting off the horse-drawn carriage and looking at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, Fang Jie swore to himself that he had to work hard just to deserve a woman like Chen Qingshan.

Then, he took a deep breath and walked into the most solemn military academy of Great Sui with Qi Lin.

…

When Fang Jie walked through the gate, he saw many students chitchatting and peeking at him. It felt like he was a monster, but Fang Jie knew that the chitchats weren’t hostile. After all, his results of nine excellent ratings were enough to make many people respectful of him.

Fang Jie felt different now that he came into the Martial Arts Academy again. He walked through the gate two times before during the entrance exam, and he didn’t really observe this place. This time, he was slow and tried to memorize everything.

The first day didn’t have any courses. After registration, the professors separated everyone into different classes, and they were led to their residences. The students could walk around and get themselves familiar with this place afterward.

There were hundreds of students, and they were divided into ten classes based on their results. Every class would have a student from the top-ten list, so the power distribution was even. Since the Martial Arts Academy often asked two random classes to battle, it wouldn’t work if the strength difference between these classes was too big.

The ten classes were named after the ten Heavenly Stems which was a Chinese system of ordinals, and they were Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

Fang Jie was in Class Yi, and he was surprised that Zhang Kuang was also in this class.

[TL Note: The original text is Mo Xidao, but it seems like the author made a mistake based on the later plots. I have made the change to make the story make sense.]

“Fang Jie!” While Fang Jie and Zhang Kuang chatted, Professor Qiu Yu slowly walked over and beckoned at them, “You two, come with me.”

Fang Jie and Zhang Kuang quickly walked over. They all greeted her first and asked what she needed.

Qiu Yu said while walking, “Everyone who can cultivate will be tested to see which direction is the most suitable for them. After that, special professors will come and instruct you.”

“I can’t cultivate,” Fang Jie said calmly.

“I know.” Qiu Yu straightened her bang and said, “The Principal asked me to take you to him, even though I don’t know why.”

“What is the Principal like?” Fang Jie asked.

“A… very ordinary old man,” Qiu Yu replied honestly.
