Chapter 293: Chapter 286: Handsome, can you give me a cigarette?

Bai Yan’s Abyss Territory is currently at Level 1. To upgrade it to the second level, a whopping one million points of demon energy are required.

This is equivalent to the energy needed to cultivate ten Level 4 demons, and Bai Yan currently has very little demon energy left. After successfully fostering the Abyssal Cerberus last time, there wasn’t much demon energy remaining.

"By the way, Xiao Man, how is the project you mentioned last time about establishing channels in Africa and along the river areas coming along?"

Bai Yan suddenly remembered this point. If they could acquire creatures from special regions like the African Plains and oceans, the rate at which demon energy increased would be much faster than the arduous domestic purchase of live poultry!

"We’ve encountered some resistance, mainly issues with border public relations and customs. I’m still having people negotiate."

Li Xiaoman’s voice sounded somewhat apologetic: "Today I’ve arranged a meeting with a few friends who have connections there. We should be able to make some breakthroughs. Master, please give me a little more time."

"Hmm, get it done as soon as possible. Let me know if you need any help."

Bai Yan furrowed his brows.

Logically, Wanyan Company’s customs should not have any issues. After all, buying marine life is a legal economic activity as long as it doesn’t involve rare fish species. So why are there problems with customs?

Bai Yan hung up the phone and pondered with furrowed brows.

It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the ancient painting from stealing demon energy again, Bai Yan further divided an extra area within the Abyss Territory and used the Lord’s will to lock down this area, effectively confining the ancient painting!

Under the lock of the Lord’s will, it was impossible for the ancient painting to disperse its energy. After all, within the Abyss Territory, Bai Yan was the absolute king. He could freely control everything within the territory.

Even if you’re a precious treasure, you’re just an inanimate tool. Can I, a living person, be outdone by you in eating?

Such an incident happening twice was already enough!

If it happens a third time, then what kind of Demon Lord would I be!

At this moment, the freshmen at ZH University’s Economic College had just finished their classes.

A large portion of the students at ZH University choose to live on campus, but there are also many day students. Young boys and girls leave the school gates in groups, their laughter unceasing.

Bai Yan opened the car door, standing beside the Lamborghini, waiting for An Xiaowan and Chen Jing.

"Wow, a luxury car!"

"That guy looks familiar!"

"He’s... the new exchange student Bai Yan, from Literature College!"

"Holy crap, is he the wild Bai Yan? The one who beat up the president of the Economic College’s student union and thrashed the military training instructor?"

The boys looked at Bai Yan with surprise and uncertainty, with many of their eyes drifting between the exaggeratedly-styled Lamborghini and Bai Yan. Without a doubt, the pure black, ultra-low chassis, perfectly streamline-bodied Lamborghini was eye-catching.

Many boys looked at the Lamborghini with undisguised envy, as no man could resist a fascination with luxury cars.

But this envy-inspiring vehicle undoubtedly belonged to the infamous wild student Bai Yan!

"Didn’t expect this, Bai Yan isn’t just handsome, he has such a cool car too!"

"Hehe, little missy’s got a crush, why don’t you go ask for his number~!"

"Forget it, he’s closely involved with those two beauties from the Economic College! I, with my plain looks, stand no chance!"

"Don’t be in a hurry to leave, it’s good to take a few more looks at a handsome guy!"

The girls whispered among themselves, and some bold young ladies didn’t go any further, their fiery eyes directly on Bai Yan.

In these youthful years of raging hormones, anyone can afford to be bold and willful.

Perhaps due to his identity, having been through numerous battles in the Abyss, Bai Yan, when facing these teenagers of the same age, always felt a sense of deep emotion and a touch of melancholy.

"Click."

Bai Yan calmly lit a cigarette, his long fingers pinching the cigarette as tendrils of smoke rose faintly.

Bai Yan leaned against the car in a somewhat lazy manner, patiently waiting for the two girls.

"His way of lighting a cigarette is so cool!"

"I can’t hold back anymore, I’m gonna make a move!"

"Let Tian Tian do it, she’s so pretty, Bai Yan will definitely give her his number!"

"Go for it, Tian Tian, you got this, get his number!"

Such whispers constantly reached Bai Yan’s ears.

"What a rash age indeed!"

Bai Yan could only respond with a resigned smile.

From a group of girls, a tall girl with a sweet smile and a ponytail emerged, who, encouraged by her friends, gathered her courage and approached Bai Yan.

The freshman boys watched Tian Tian walk towards Bai Yan, their eyes filled with envy.

This guy is too lucky, just standing there and girls come up to strike a conversation!

"Hi~ handsome!"

The girl named Tian Tian, with a sweet smile and her rosy cheeks adorned with two adorable dimples, said.

"Hmm?"

Bai Yan raised his eyelids and hummed lazily.

"Tian Tian is amazing, she started talking to a handsome guy!"

"Go Tian Tian!"

A group of fangirl friends secretly cheered for Tian Tian from a distance, their gazes nervously and excitedly fixed on the scene. However, Tian Tian’s next words stunned them.

"Can you... give me a cigarette?"

Tian Tian struggled to find the right words, and her pretty face instantly flushed with embarrassment.

"This girl, if you can’t think of any pick-up lines, you don’t just ask for a cigarette..."

"The sweet girl image is totally ruined now!"

"It’s over, the cooked duck has flown away, she surely won’t get the guy’s phone number now!"

Her friends moaned in disappointment, while Bai Yan was also taken aback, looking up at the sweet-looking girl.

Facing Bai Yan’s deep eyes, Tian Tian’s cheeks turned even more red, and her nerves mounted; this was her first time hitting on a boy, and she had no idea what to say.

Who is Bai Yan?

He is the most famous exchange student in the Literature College, and his stories have been enough to make these freshmen worship him for their entire four years!

Confronted with Bai Yan, Tian Tian inevitably felt awkward.

"Do you smoke?"

Bai Yan smiled.

"No, I..."

Tian Tian’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, very light.

"Here you go, what’s your name?"

Bai Yan casually took out a cigarette and handed it to Tian Tian, smiling warmly.

"My name is Tian Tian, a freshman at the Economic College."

Tian Tian took the cigarette from Bai Yan and asked timidly, "Um... can I have, your contact information?"

"Hand me your phone."

Bai Yan agreed straightforwardly. Tian Tian, delighted, handed over her cell phone, and Bai Yan, still smiling, entered a string of numbers into Tian Tian’s exquisite phone.

"Done."

Bai Yan handed the phone back to Tian Tian.

Even as Tian Tian returned to her friends, her face was still flushed with both shyness and bewilderment.

"Did you get his number?"

Her fujoshi friends eagerly asked.

"I got it."

Tian Tian replied honestly.

"Then what? Did you ask him out?"

The fujoshi friends’ eyes were shining.

"I didn’t dare..."

Tian Tian whispered, and her friends immediately covered their foreheads, with faces full of speechlessness.

This silly girl, too easily embarrassed. She got the number and scurried back here, not daring to say another word to Bai Yan, missing the chance to hook up with the craziest guy in the Literature College.

Bai Yan cheerfully watched Tian Tian leave with her friends from the school gate.

In the most beautiful years of life, there are always many impulses.

Not for love, nor because I fancy you, but solely because of a simple heartbeat, for which I am willing to act impulsively once.

Because of the heartbeat, hence the impulse.

No need for too many reasons, nor are too many reasons required.

They and Bai Yan, are just passersby in each other’s lives, and all that’s left between them is merely a sweet memory of a certain moment in youth.

And the woman who could truly accompany Bai Yan, walking through life’s journey, was just emerging from the gates of ZH University at this moment.

An Xiaowan was dressed in a white gauzy dress, her fair shoulders exposed, standing independent from the world like an elegant and adorable princess with her beautiful eyes glancing around in the crowd.

At the sight of Bai Yan, An Xiaowan’s pretty face bloomed with a sweet and joyful smile.

"Brother Yan~!"

An Xiaowan smiled happily, waving at Bai Yan, utterly disregarding the astonished and perplexed looks of other students.

Bai Yan put out the cigarette in his hand and walked forward with a smile.

This was the love meant for him; this was her youth.
