Generally speaking, children's bodies are soft and squishy. After all, they haven't fully grown yet and are still developing.
Sending a child to learn dance is usually quite easy. Apart from a few exceptionally "gifted" individuals, most can pull off a few moves. However, for the very same people, things change after puberty. Their joints and waists become stiff, compounded by the development of various muscle groups.
Lu Yuning, however, was soft and supple all over, coupled with that adorably innocent and youthful face...
...
Lu Yuning bit her lip and buried her small face in the blanket, occasionally peeking out stealthily to observe Su Bai's expression.
For an introverted pushover, reading people's moods was an essential survival skill. Even though Su Bai wasn't a mean person—he was leagues better than those female classmates who used to bully her at school—Lu Yuning still cared deeply about his mood.
After all, her current situation was, in essence, being kept by Su Bai.
A kept girl should coax her sugar daddy and make him happy; it was only natural and right.
Those who clearly lived off a man's money yet flaunted some independent strong female lead persona were something Lu Yuning truly couldn't understand. Where exactly was the independence?
...
"You need to hydrate. I'll go get you some electrolyte drinks." Su Bai prepared to get out of bed.
"No need, um, I... I can go myself," Lu Yuning said hastily.
She tried to get out of bed, but the moment her toes touched the floor, a pained expression appeared on her face.
This was entirely within Su Bai's expectations.
...
Looking at her state, he figured she might not even be able to get out of bed and move around smoothly tomorrow.
"Just lie down and get some good rest."
"Sob... Boss, I'm so useless," Lu Yuning said with an apologetic face.
"Hilarious. How does this make you useless? This is perfectly normal."
...
...
Unexpectedly, Su Bai burst into laughter. "Seriously, girl, you should watch fewer weird movies."
"Eh..."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with you being like this."
...
Why did it feel completely different from what she had imagined?
Was it really so, or was Su Bai just saying nice things on purpose to comfort her?
The latter wasn't impossible. After all, in Lu Yuning's eyes, Su Bai was an incredibly, incredibly gentle man.
Ningning fell into confusion...
...
Outside the room, in the living room, Zhou Jialu was studying.
This was truly a miraculous thing. Not too long ago, she had been completely drained of energy, yet now she was full of drive, holding a tablet and watching some instructional video.
Lately, she seemed to really enjoy carrying an iPad around and following Su Bai whenever he went out, wandering all over the place with quite the air of a female secretary.
Having someone to help worry about the miscellaneous chores was a good thing anyway, so Su Bai didn't object.
"What are you watching?" Su Bai asked casually.
"Ah, junior... you're out so soon?" Zhou Jialu looked surprised.
Tonight was basically a complete success.
Zhou Jialu was quite proud of this.
With a soft and sweet personality like Ningning's, if you put her in the right atmosphere, she could very smoothly transition into a romantic confidante relationship with Su Bai.
As a fellow woman, Zhou Jialu understood this best.
Girls value atmosphere the most.
Of course, given Su Bai's qualifications, him just standing there created an atmosphere. If it were a more casual girl, he could just beckon with his finger and take her to get a room. But Ningning wasn't casual, so it required a little extra effort.
As a result...
...
Su Bai's casual absurdity was on a level that ordinary people couldn't reach.
Who knows how this guy's brain comes up with these things.
While Zhou Jialu was laughing non-stop, Su Bai snatched the iPad from her hands to take a peek at what tutorial she was watching.
An online course for tourism majors.
"If I remember correctly, you're an accounting major, right, senior? Why are you watching this stuff..."
"Oh, it has nothing to do with school stuff. I'm just looking at tourism route planning and some tips for scheduling itineraries and the like."
"You could just look at Little Red Book for that."
"Too much marketing," Zhou Jialu pointed out the flaw right on the money. "This online course was recommended to me by a teacher from a training center. It's relatively short and concise. I just watch it when I have free time, striving to become an all-around warrior, a super manager."
Excellent. Super Su Bai's super harem deserves to use a super manager!
Out of curiosity, Su Bai watched the online course with Zhou Jialu for a while. Along the way, he asked the front desk staff at the Ascott to bring up a few bottles of iced Pocari Sweat.
This stuff was incredibly effective for rehydrating after exercise. Sweet and salty, Su Bai loved drinking it after playing a game.
Although this was just the standard suite where Lu Yuning was staying, Su Bai was, after all, an esteemed resident of the Shanshui Villas, so basically any service he wanted could be arranged.
Soon, the items were brought up.
...
Before long, Su Bai and his senior were immersed in laughter.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
