Chapter 40: Episode 5.5 Sandwich

Despite having comprehensive information about the man that riled him up the past few days, Shen Yuan decided to give Zhou Kai time to make his last hurrah. He is already a dead man in his eyes, so why not give him a little time for himself? Shen Yuan also has the gut feeling that he will meet the lousy little villain soon.

His fox senses never lie.

Feeling like everything fell into the right places, he slept well after his refreshing but rollercoaster talk with Bai Tingfeng and charging his dead phone, and he must admit, that is the best sleep he ever had after transmigrating to this world. The only downside was he slept until it was already time for lunch, and Yanyan was passively giving him pouty duck lips because he didn’t get to eat his Daddy’s customary breakfast.

Shen Yuan wanted to prepare lunch to make up for waking up late, but Bai Tingfeng reminded him that he would have a big day tomorrow.

It’s his Awakener Test.

Conducted every month by the Hunter Association, the Awakener Test sought to assess and record the powers and skills of newly awakened or reawakened individuals. It is divided into two parts; firstly, it measures the improved physical prowess of the awakened. The first test aims to quantify the physical statistics, namely, strength (physical power), constitution (endurance and stamina), and dexterity (agility, balance, reflexes, and speed).

Physical attributes may seem to be pretty dull in this world where people have superpowers, but these are essential if someone is aiming to become a hunter. Being physically fit is a prerequisite to surviving inside the dungeon, after all.

Thus, the Hunter Association put great importance on the results of the first test when licensing hunters.

Shen Yuan continued his lack of desire to be a hunter. But since he is residing in a new body, he spent the past days getting accustomed to his body. He did strenuous exercises while bonding with Yanyan. For the results, he will only show it once tomorrow comes.

As for the second test of the Awakener Test...

"The first part of the second test is relatively simple, but you need to be prepared for it. You will enter a big machine that measures the innate mana in your body. The entire process is very uncomfortable, but that will only last for two to three minutes. So, don’t. At all costs, punch or kick the machine even if it gets on your nerves," Bai Tingfeng’s voice sounded in the background while Shen Yuan sat on the picnic blanket. The family of three is in their front garden, living best of their lives.

Bai Tingfeng carefully sat not that far from Shen Yuan.

There are white orbs of mana floating around the celestial fox spirit.

It was the last day of his preparation, so Shen Yuan decided to gather as much mana to use for tomorrow’s test. Therefore, his beautiful and velvety fox ears and tails are in full show— albeit still cloaked with illusion spells.

"I know, okay? I am not an uncultured man who would wreak havoc over such a petty thing," says the omega with the blood vessel in his forehead palpitating. He snappily turned his head back to their little son, who was presently running around with a little paper kite that had a chibi wolf cub design in his hand. His slight irritation from his cheap husband’s "joke" instantly vanished.

"Baby! The string! You can make it longer once it finally catches the breeze, baby!" He yelled for the cute little boy to hear.

"I will, Daddy! Thanks for telling Yanyan!" the little boy responded, then continued running around with his cute fleshy butt jiggling as he ran.

"So cute!" Shen Yuan internally cried in glee and uncontrollable fluffiness in his chest. However, once he turned his head to look at Bai Tingfeng, he assumed a normal expression.

"Why don’t you help our son with his kite?"

"I was forbidden. Yanyan insists that he is a big boy now, and his goal today was to make the kite soar all by himself," Bai Tingfeng answered without looking back at the omega. Deep inside, he was in awe at the capability of the omega to absorb mana in the air despite not concentrating intensely.

When absorbing mana, he would have to enter a deep concentration state before he could attract the mana in the air.

"Shen Yuan must have a powerful mental strength to do that," the clueless alpha assumed. Fox spirits are beings beloved by mana, so no matter where they go, they will attract mana as long as deposits are in the air.

"So that’s why you took the liberty to educate me about the Awakener Test. You simply can’t let your time pass without doing productive, huh?" If it were he who had free time, then he would have spent it lying on the couch and reading BL manhwa, manga, and manhua.

"Then what about the second part of the second test? I assume that’s where the part where the superpowers are being assessed and recorded."

Bai Tingfeng nodded his head. "Yes. The awakener will list down the powers that he has, and then he will demonstrate each of them. The Hunter Association will analyze every aspect of the powers or skill starting from skill effects, activation process, the duration the certain skill is active to how much mana was used by that skill—"

"What?!" Shen Yuan almost jumped up from his lotus position. "Then that’s not much different from stripping people of their secrets! Is this still humane?"

"All countries in the world are doing it for security, and as far as privacy is concerned, their actual results are only known to Hunter Associasion and to the examinee."

"But that is not the case with me now! I said okay to let my test be broadcasted. Therefore, the specifics of my power will be known to the whole world!" Shen Yuan exclaimed and turned his fist into a solid ball. The Awakener Test is the precursor of his tragedy! Just a minor slip-up that would expose his identity as a celestial fox spirit, and the heavens would open up to send him the forks of soul-crushing lightning!

He has yet to really enjoy his time in this world, but there are already annoying hurdles that are coming after him!

The mana around them suddenly becomes erratic, as if responding to the violent lashing of the celestial fox spirit’s tails. "That Zhou Kai! I swear I am going tear his—."

Bai Tingfeng timely shoved a sandwich at the furious omega’s mouth because he knew that the words that would come after that were not child-friendly.

It seems true that awakeners who handle fire are naturally hot-headed, and Shen Yuan is the perfect example of that.

"Don’t anger yourself too much. According to the spy that I planted in the H.A., it’s Chairman Mao who is preparing your test, so there is the possibility that he will give you a different test than usual. And besides..." Bai Tingfeng’s eyes scanned Shen Yuan from head to toe. "It appears to me that even if you know the complications of broadcasting your skills, you will still agree to do it. Because your pride wouldn’t let you ."

The man then stopped at the clear, expressive eyes of the omega. "You are not someone who would let others walk all over you."

Shen Yuan gulped the part of the sandwich that went successfully into his mouth. Initially, he was angry at the insolence of this handsome alpha male for shoving the sandwich to his mouth. He’s not a kid! However, since he said something right and the sandwich tasted so good that it made his heart feel ticklish, he decided to let go.

Last night’s talk made Shen Yuan decide to give a little more patience and understanding to the man since Bai Tingfeng expressed his support for him.

His tantalizing fox eye locked with Bai Tingfeng’s, and he gently fixed his silky platinum blonde bangs and flashed a modest smile that would rake in millions.

Bai Tingfeng silently gulped his saliva as he got a proper view of Shen Yuan’s face. This omega has the smallest face among all the people that he met. A white little face is not uncommon for him because most of the people who are trying to suck up to him before have this feature. However, none of them comes close to Shen Yuan’s charm. Shen Yuan simply dazzles.

"Bai Tingfeng," Shen Yuan started. He waited for the omega’s next words with anticipation. "You didn’t prepare this delicious ham sandwich yourself, I bet."

Bai Tingfeng looked at Shen Yuan with his mouth agape, confused. "Where did that come from?"

"Just a random thought to regain my reasoning," Shen Yuan cleared his throat. "What you said was reasonable and isn’t far from the truth. I hate people when they undermine others, like they forget that they are nothing but a speck of dust under the blue sky. Thus, I formed this impulsiveness to humble them at all cost."

The celestial fox spirit late to realize that he spilled his honest thoughts to the human.

"Anyway, the sandwich is good, and my conscience wouldn’t let me enjoy the taste, knowing that Yanyan haven’t tried it yet. That stubborn kid will tire himself up before his kite flies," he attempted to change the topic.

Being with Bai Tingfeng is dangerous! He gets too comfortable before he knows it!
