Good night, little iris.

【Iris: I'm not angry.】

【I Want to Sleep: Forget it, I’ll just keep my distance.】

【Iris: I really won’t get mad. After all, it’s just familial affection—hard for it to change.】

【I Want to Sleep: Hey, Little Iris, have you heard of the legend about the entranceway?】

【Iris: What?】

【I Want to Sleep: Never mind. Let’s sleep. I doubt this special training will continue. They might organize an evacuation first thing tomorrow. Don’t oversleep.】

【Iris: Goodnight, big brother.】

【I Want to Sleep: Goodnight, Little Iris.】

Now then.

Why didn’t Su Qi have some kind of "favorability meter" function?

If he did, he wouldn’t have to rack his brains like this.

But even this wasn’t enough.

This was just the beginning.

Time to make a move!

He had to take the initiative!

That brat wouldn’t reveal her identity, huh?

Well, she was in for some fun.

Su Qi discreetly cut a few of the ropes holding up his hammock.

With a loud thud, he crashed to the ground.

To sell the act, he even let out a startled, “What the hell?!”

Liu Yuan, who had been about to send another message, nearly dropped her phone in shock.

Then she saw the broken hammock and Su Qi sprawled on the floor, grimacing.

Wait…

That didn’t make sense.

With Su Qi’s skills, shouldn’t he have reacted in time?

But—trust first, question later.

She set her phone aside and jumped down. “Big brother, what happened?”

Kneeling beside him, Liu Yuan’s eyes brimmed with worry.

Su Qi clutched his backside, feigning pain while secretly gloating.

“No idea how it snapped. I just used up all my soul power fixing your card earlier, so my stats were too low to react.”

He groaned dramatically for effect.

Oh.

That explained it.

Liu Yuan felt a pang of guilt and quickly reached out to help him up. “Here, let me help.”

Su Qi grabbed her hand, pulling himself up but deliberately wobbling, leaning into her.

Liu Yuan’s face flushed, but she didn’t pull away, murmuring, “Be careful, big brother.”

Su Qi steadied himself with an exaggerated wobble and dusted himself off. “No big deal.”

Then he walked over to inspect the broken hammock, picking up the snapped connector and studying it silently.

Without a word, he turned to leave the tent.

Liu Yuan called after him, “Big brother, where are you going?”

Su Qi replied flatly, “Nowhere to sleep. Gonna chat with Old Li.”

First, he’d nearly died fighting cultists, then exhausted his soul power fixing her card.

If she made him pull an all-nighter on watch duty, what kind of person would that make her?

After a moment’s thought, Liu Yuan said, “Big brother, you can take my hammock. I’ll sleep on the ground.”

Su Qi refused righteously. “Big brothers take care of little sisters. That’s just how it is.”

As Su Qi was about to step out—

Liu Yuan’s face burned red again. “Well… the hammock is pretty big…”

This was exactly what Su Qi had been waiting for.

But he couldn’t show his excitement. He turned back, hesitating. “That… doesn’t seem right…”

Liu Yuan tugged lightly on his sleeve. “I’ll stay on the left, you on the right. As long as we don’t move around, it’ll be fine.”

Su Qi’s heart soared, but he kept up the reluctant act. “Alright… fine. I promise I won’t move.”

He climbed into the hammock quickly, yawning and gesturing for Liu Yuan to join.

Liu Yuan, still shy, slowly climbed in and lay beside him.

But soon, a problem arose.

Things weren’t going as she’d imagined.

The hammock sagged under their combined weight.

There was no “left and right” separation—they inevitably slid toward the middle.

Now lying back-to-back, she could practically feel Su Qi’s breath against her neck.

Her heart raced. She’d never been this close to anyone before.

As the atmosphere grew tense, Su Qi decided to ruin it.

Somehow, this situation felt too casual.

It just wasn’t the right mood.

Nothing compared to the entranceway.

“If your boyfriend knew you were sharing a hammock with me, would he get mad?”

“If your girlfriend knew you were like this, would she get mad?”

Su Qi answered instantly, “Nah. I asked. She’s not angry.”

【Joy +666】

Su Qi!!!

You absolute idiot!

She suddenly wanted to kick him out of the hammock.

But soon, exhaustion from the late hour crept in.

Liu Yuan’s eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted into a deep sleep.

Her steady breaths carried contentment as she curled slightly, nestling closer to Su Qi.

Her head brushed against his chin, and she murmured faintly, “Big brother…”

Su Qi gently ruffled her hair.

The night deepened quietly.

“Goodnight, Little Iris.”

The next morning.

Just as Su Qi predicted, Old Li arrived with news.

“Sorry, everyone. I’ve been notified that the Sixth Academy’s combat exam training is canceled.”

Plainly put, no one wanted to take the risk.

What was a seventh-tier Dawnbreaker doing in an E-class Source Realm?

How had he “smuggled” himself in?

Were there more of his kind?

Until these questions were answered and any remnants of the cloaked man’s influence were purged, the risk assessment far exceeded E-class.

No six-tier instructor could guarantee the students’ safety now.
