Successfully using his wits to dodge a bullet, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but admire his own adaptability.
"Hehe, smacking Teacher Jiang Han’s butt felt pretty good!"
"Don’t you dare feel good about it, Brother Tianming! She’s your teacher, and I’m your girlfriend!"
Pulled back to reality by Ye Qingxue’s words, Lin Tianming coughed on purpose and said with feigned seriousness, "I was just joking, Qingxue, don’t take it to heart!"
"Hmph!" Ye Qingxue, the queen of jealousy, huffed and started to sulk.
[Stupid Brother Tianming, he surely prefers fully developed women like Teacher Jiang Han!]
[Just wait until I grow up a bit more, my figure will definitely be no less than Teacher Jiang Han’s! She has what I will have in the future, and the youthful look she doesn’t have, I have it now!]
[Choosing me means having beautiful women from different times, I am your treasure girl!]
Listening to Ye Qingxue’s ever so unique line of thought, Lin Tianming felt somewhat embarrassed but didn’t burst her bubble.
Feng Lan, who came out with them, still had a little blush on her cheeks, but her emotions had calmed down a lot.
She took the initiative to say goodbye to Lin Tianming, "Tianming, now that I know you’ve returned safely, I should head back to the Feng Family. I’ll see you next semester after the New Year."
"Yeah, Feng Lan, see you next year. You have to work hard on your cultivation too!"
Lin Tianming waved goodbye to Feng Lan as well.
Feng Lan’s thoughts were as well-controlled as her outward expression. Without second thoughts, she disappeared from Lin Tianming’s sight.
Seeing Lin Tianming gazing into the direction where Feng Lan disappeared for a long time, Ye Qingxue immediately hooked his arm.
"Brother Tianming, stop staring, she’s gone far away, let’s go pack up in your dorm and head home!"
[There are too many temptations outside. I need to keep a close eye on Brother Tianming to prevent other women from snatching him away!]
[Especially that sly fox, Feng Lan, I must keep an eye on this girl who always clashes with me!]
Ye Qingxue’s anxious inner thoughts somewhat amused Lin Tianming, but he kept a calm exterior as he walked back to his dormitory building with her.
When they reached the building, Lin Tianming asked Ye Qingxue to wait for him at the entrance while he quickly packed up to come down.
Then he went upstairs to his room, expecting to be alone, but to his surprise, his roommate Chu Yunfei was still there.
As soon as Chu Yunfei saw Lin Tianming return, he excitedly jumped off his bed and gave Lin Tianming a big hug.
"Tianming, you’re finally back alive, I thought you had kicked the bucket!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? And with two grown men hugging each other, what would people think? Let go!"
Although Lin Tianming was touched that his roommate Chu Yunfei cared so much about him, he was also a bit creeped out by Chu Yunfei’s hugging.
Pushed away by Lin Tianming, Chu Yunfei didn’t persist in hugging him, but asked curiously where he had been to take so long to return.
Lin Tianming, while packing up the things he wanted to take home, answered, "The Land of Calamity."
"Oh, so it was the Land of Calamity!"
Chu Yunfei didn’t react at first, but his expression quickly turned to one of shock.
"Holy shit! You actually dared to venture into the Land of Calamity, a place notorious for being rampant with demons!"
"You’re making such a fuss, what’s wrong with you?"
Lin Tianming was somewhat amused and thought Chu Yunfei was making too much of a fuss.
Chu Yunfei, however, felt his shock was completely justified, especially since Lin Tianming had been to the Land of Calamity.
Even Jiang Han, the strongest human Awakener who had once slain a Divine Realm Demon, wouldn’t dare to stay in the Land of Calamity for long, which speaks to the sheer terror of that place.
For Lin Tianming, a low-level Awakener who had just awakened his superpower a semester ago, daring to venture into the Land of Calamity was tantamount to seeking death.
Yet the crux of the matter was, after performing such a suicidal act, Lin Tianming had actually returned unscathed!
"That’s the Land of Calamity, Tianming! You need to be at least Level 60 to go there, otherwise the Jiuzhou State Guards will stop you. You dared to go at Level 20 and came back intact. How did you do it?"
"I just walked back normally."
The more nonchalant Lin Tianming acted, the more Chu Yunfei was convinced that Lin Tianming was a complete monster.
"Monster... You’re truly a monster! Although one must be at least Level 60 to be allowed into the Land of Calamity, no one dares to stay there for long, not even your Teacher Jiang Han who killed the Thunder Demon King. You really are fearless. You didn’t go there for training or an adventure, did you?"
While calmly responding to Chu Yunfei, Lin Tianming had already packed up the stuff he was taking home.
"I’ve packed and I’m ready to go home for the new year. See you next semester, Yunfei!"
Hearing Lin Tianming just walk away so breezily made Chu Yunfei dumbstruck: "You’ve just got back, why leave now? Let’s have a meal as brothers before you go!"
"Thanks for caring so much, Yunfei. I’ll treat you to a meal when school starts next semester. Qingxue is already waiting for me downstairs; I can’t not go!"
Chu Yunfei wanted to say more, but Lin Tianming ran off with his packed belongings.
Seeing how eager Lin Tianming was to go home for the new year with Ye Qingxue, Chu Yunfei couldn’t help but sigh helplessly: "Truly a case of ’out of sight, out of mind’, Tianming!"
By this time, Lin Tianming had already gone downstairs to meet up with Ye Qingxue.
The two headed to the airport together and took a flight back to their hometown, Mingxi City.
Before boarding the plane, Ye Qingxue had informed her parents that she and Lin Tianming would be returning that evening.
Discovering that they were finally on winter vacation, Father Ye and Mother Ye were busily preparing the most sumptuous dinner, awaiting their return.
In the evening, as soon as Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue arrived home, Father Ye warmly welcomed them in.
At the same time, Father Ye didn’t forget to call out to Mother Ye, who was busy in the kitchen: "Wife, Qingxue and Tianming are back. Is the food ready?"
"It’s almost done, just one dish left, five minutes at most. Come here and help me bring the rest of the dishes to the table first!"
Hearing Mother Ye’s call for help, Father Ye hurried into the kitchen to fulfil his role as a dish deliverer.
Observing the enduring affection between Father Ye and Mother Ye, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but remark: "Mom and Dad’s love for each other is as strong as ever, isn’t it, Qingxue!"
"Yes, I’m relieved to see how much Mom and Dad love each other!"
After a semester apart, hearing Lin Tianming refer to her parents as "our mom and dad," Ye Qingxue, who had been perfectly won over by Lin Tianming, was no longer averse to it.
In fact, she found Lin Tianming’s way of addressing her parents to be a sign of his care for her, his little girlfriend, and her heart swelled with sweetness.
