The Largest Size

After Ye Chuan exited the projection pod, the teacher didn’t seem too surprised. After all, he was aware of Ye Chuan’s identity as a superhuman. Having some combat experience was only natural.

Next up was Luo Xi.

"I... don’t think I can do it, Chuanchuan," Luo Xi whispered to Ye Chuan. She had little practical combat experience, and in the simulated environment, her spiritual energy was practically useless.

"It’s fine. If you can’t handle it, just say you’re not feeling well," Ye Chuan reassured her.

The school was quite lenient about these things. The exercise wasn’t mandatory, and students could opt out if the intense visuals were too much for them.

"No," Luo Xi insisted.

"Not scared?"

"I am scared," Luo Xi admitted, taking a deep breath and patting her cheeks lightly. "But I can’t hold Chuanchuan back!"

With that, she mustered her courage and stepped into the projection pod.

Facing the same opponent—a demon wolf—Luo Xi mimicked what she had seen, picking up a weapon nearby and carefully observing the beast’s movements.

"Roar!" The demon wolf exhaled hot breath before lunging at her. Luo Xi seized the moment and thrust her weapon forward.

Her strike landed perfectly, piercing through the wolf’s lower jaw and straight into its upper palate.

"Now’s my chance!" Trembling, she grabbed a nearby spear and drove it into the wolf’s chest.

After a final howl, the demon wolf collapsed, twitching before dissolving into particles of light.

"I did it!"

Emerging from the pod, Luo Xi secured the second-highest score.

"Next..."

After recording Luo Xi’s results, the teacher’s gaze shifted to Ye Yue. "What was your name again?"

"Teacher, I’m Ye Yue! Did you forget?" She clasped her hands behind her back, grinning.

"Ah, right, Ye Yue." The teacher nodded. "You helped me deliver documents last time. It slipped my mind. Go ahead."

"Teacher, I’m not feeling well, and I’m scared of monsters," Ye Yue said softly, clinging to Ye Chuan’s arm. "My brother can vouch for me."

Ye Chuan beside her: "..."

Yeah, scared.

More like the monsters were scared of her.

"Alright then. Next up... An Shiyu? Huh? Skipped class?"

"Never mind..."

Once the monster training session ended, everyone returned to the classroom.

Despite the intensity, the students were satisfied with the experience—after all, it was a safe way to simulate combat against creatures.

"Of course, if you ever encounter a real monster, prioritize your safety and wait for the Alliance’s rescue team," the teacher reminded them.

"Learning about monsters isn’t about taking risks. It’s about survival—giving yourselves a better chance to live."

"Teacher, I wouldn’t be scared even if I met a real one!"

"Jiahao, don’t even start. You died the fastest in the simulation."

The classroom erupted in laughter.

...

Evening painted the windows in shades of orange.

"Chuanchuan, I’m heading to the broadcasting club now!" Luo Xi didn’t forget her extracurricular commitments—she had plenty of hosting duties to prepare for.

"One kiss, and I might let you go," Ye Chuan teased.

Luo Xi smacked his shoulder lightly, blushing. "Ahhh~ there are too many people here!"

"Your call."

Flustered, Luo Xi waited until no one was looking before pecking Ye Chuan quickly and darting away.

Watching her ponytail bounce as she ran, Ye Chuan shook his head with a smile.

Still so shy.

Yet she could be so bold in bed, even riding him eagerly.

Beside him, Ye Yue observed the scene, her crimson eyes flickering faintly. But she suppressed whatever stirred within her—instead, she clung to Ye Chuan’s arm.

"Brother, I want to go shopping outside."

"Shopping?"

"Mm!"

"Then I’ll call Yan Ran." Ye Chuan reached for his phone, only for a small hand to cover the screen. He looked up to see Ye Yue smiling sweetly at him.

"Brother, let’s just walk around. No need to bother Sister Yan Ran."

"Brother~" She began to whine playfully.

"Fine." Ye Chuan patted her head.

He didn’t mind walking—or even flying, for that matter. But since this was supposed to be a leisurely stroll, flying would defeat the purpose.

Ye Chuan realized he had grown more patient with girls other than Luo Xi.

He’d indulge Lan Xiaoke’s requests to game together, even prepare special treats for Bai Qianshuang—not to raise affection levels, but simply because he wanted to.

Maybe he was changing without realizing it.

But he didn’t resist it. People evolved with their circumstances, after all.

As they left the academy, Ye Yue seemed overjoyed, her smile unwavering as she clung to his arm.

"Ye Yue."

"Yes, brother?"

"You’re making it hard to walk like this."

In response, a pair of blood-red wings unfurled from her back, lifting her slightly off the ground. She continued holding his arm. "Now it’s easier, brother."

Ye Chuan paused before deciding to ignore it.

"A dessert shop! Brother, look—a dessert shop!" In the commercial district near the academy, Ye Yue’s eyes locked onto the delicate pastries displayed behind glass.

"If you want some, go ahead."

"Then I want this one!" She pointed at a bunny-shaped cake.

"One bunny cake, please." Ye Chuan ordered.

"Coming right—"

The clerk approached the display, but upon noticing the fleshy tendrils clinging to Ye Yue, she didn’t react with alarm. Instead, she simply smiled. "Here you go."

"Thank you."

Like any ordinary girl, Ye Yue adored cute things, relished sweets, and even posed for photos.

Ye Chuan sat quietly as she finished her cake, then wiped a smear of cream from her lips with a tissue.

"Brother..." Ye Yue nuzzled his palm affectionately, tendrils sprouting from her cheeks to coil around his fingers.

Though the sight was unsettling, Ye Chuan remained unfazed, withdrawing his hand before ruffling her hair.

Monster or not, it didn’t matter.

In a way, Ye Yue was family.

Watching her enjoy the cake, Ye Chuan thought of Bai Qianshuang back home—she’d probably love dessert too. With that in mind, he turned to the clerk again.

"Excuse me, could I also get a large cake to go?"

"Yes, the biggest one you have."
