Ever since the demonic curse incident on Gong Qiao's body, Li Chen had rested and refocused on training with the system inside his house for four days.
Li Chen who had just completed his daily mission that encompassed physical sports. Push-ups, sit-ups and others 100 times. His body that was not wearing the shirt showed muscles that were formed strong and very gallant.
The sweat dripping and flowing in his body made Li Chen become even more handsome even when he was exhausted.
He who rose to his feet and put on his clothes right beside the window, was greeted by the chirping of birds that morning.
Cit.... zith…!!!
The small yellow bird approached Li Chen and stopped right above his index finger.
“Good morning, little bird”
Pe.. cit….!!!
Li Chen smiled faintly at the little bird. He stroked her fine fur and treated her so gently. While she was stroking him, suddenly the system came right beside Li Chen with a regular notification.

When Li Chen saw his status, he was reminded of the entire mission he had completed in that four days. Most of the missions he did were daily missions that the system gave him. However, one of the missions that made a huge impact from his status was when he successfully completed the mission to resist the demon curse of Gong Qiao.
The system gave a sizeable reward of status upgrades as well as some items that had been stored directly into Li Chen's system bag.
“(It hasn't been a long time since I came to this academy, but I've gotten a lot of things. The system that helped me acquire my alchemical and akurpuntur abilities, as well as the tremendous increase in my physique and cultivation)”
Li Chen's decision from the beginning had been unanimous. He wants to become stronger in order to make a decent living and twist the fate that the former owner of his body once felt.
However, Li Chen suddenly thought of something. Against the demonic curse that ensnared inside Gong Qiao's body.
“(Devil's curse... Why did elder Gong's grandson get the disease? Was there an incident that got them involved with the demons?)”
I don't know how it happened. What's more, Li Chen also recalled that during the last thunder stab, a fragment of memory that so much entered into his head and was twisted like a broken film fragment.
I don't know how much Li Chen caught, but he obviously couldn't figure out exactly what was going on.
However, there was one thing that Li Chen knew for sure. Among the fragments of memories he saw, there was a being with a monstrous body shape and energy. The energy felt very familiar to Li Chen. Especially exactly the same as the demonic curse energy that was residing in Gong Qiao's body.
The creature that Li Chen saw back then, was one of the demons that existed within the world.’
“Not wrong again.the creature must be one of the demons. And they are the ones related to the curse that is inside Gong Qiao” muttered Li Chen
While he was being released freely in his own mind, Li Chen suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door right from outside. Not from his room, but from the outermost door of his house.
Tok tok…!!!
“Who is it?”
Tok tok….!!!
The door rang with the same three beats. Li Chen immediately walked out of his room and towards the exit of his house.
“The turn is Jingting”
Li Chen thought that he would meet with Jingting who had previously left the house early in the morning. However, when Li Chen made the door he got something much different from his expectations.
Kreak…!!
“Ya?”
Look ahead with both eyes wide open. Li Chen was stunned silent when he saw the figure of the girl who was right behind the door of his house. There was a girl who was so beautiful and sweet that she kept silent in front of him while carrying a picnic basket covered with floral motifs.
The dress of a cultivator was elegant red, integrated beautifully through black hair as beautiful as the night sky. The milky-white skin that was said to be smooth with just an eye view, as well as the fingers and lashes that were pliable stunned Li Chen for a moment.
One word that comes to mind in his mind is ‘cantik’. Although Li Chen had been distracted by the girl's beauty, but when he looked more observant again, Li Chen immediately realized his identity. And yes, that woman is Gong Qiao, the granddaughter of elder Gong.
He had come into the male dormitory to meet with Li Chen in person.
“Eh? You...” murmured Li Chen
“Mr Chen, nice to meet you. My name is Gong Qiao”, said Gong Qiao
“A-ah, I know that. I met you when I was a presenter!”
Gong Qiao who looked so nervous and embarrassed suddenly jumped up and shut Li Chen's mouth when he wanted to discuss about the demon curse.
“Sshh! Tu-muan Chen, please don't talk about it out loud!”
The surprised Li Chen immediately froze when treated like that. While Gong Qiao who was aware of his so frontal attitude instantly let go of his hand and turned his red face away.
“A-ah... i-it... ma-forgive me!” said Gong Qiao
Seeing Gong Qiao who was so nervous and dared not spit out the contents of his words, made Li Chen feel a little uneasy. He thought of bringing her inside to have a quieter conversation.
“Come in, talk outside not tasty”
“Eh?!”
Li Chen first turned around and went inside. While Gong Qiao was still standing right in front of the door with his face flushed red.
“Tu-wait a minute! A-what's really okay?!” ask Gong Qiao
“It's okay. Just log in” Li Chen said
At the time Li Chen thought nothing of it, but Gong Qiao's flushed face showed how embarrassed and happy he was at the time. His mind that floated somewhere began to think about ethics and morals about a man and woman in the same roof.
Li Chen had brought a cup of tea onto the table that was in the living room. And when he put it down, he did not see any Gong Qiao sitting on the other side of the table. He turned his head and still saw Gong Qiao standing right in front of the door with both hands holding onto his red face.
His mind that still went nowhere could not be read by Li Chen. Therefore, he immediately approached her and clasped her arm to be carried in slowly.
“What are you doing still at the door? Come on, just get in. There is no one at home kok”, said Li Chen
“E-eh?! Ti-no one?!”
Gong Qiao's mind became increasingly wild towards the relationship between men and women in one house. His reddened face began to emit smoke which showed how embarrassed he was.
However, Li Chen was just trying to be friendly and not make a beautiful girl seem to stand up continuously.
