Chapter 807: Chapter 460 Untitled_2 Chapter 807: Chapter 460 Untitled_2 “After all, there’s only one year left, and I dare not take the risk. At least I can still get a diploma from Starlight Institute.”
Shi Wanyu said with a rueful smile as the meals they ordered arrived.
Chen Mobai poured himself a cup of black tea, took a gentle sip, and then asked, “Have you tried Foundation Establishment?”
Shi Wanyu shook her head. “Students from our academy can only apply for one of the Foundation Establishment Trithings. The other three in my dorm have tried but all failed. And I don’t think I am any better than them. Although I am already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, I have always been hesitant to make the decision because of my timid nature, which is why I’ve dragged it out till now.”
Chen Mobai nodded his understanding. However, as they were just friends, he didn’t presume to take her pulse and check her spiritual power within.
“You should still try it, after all, if Foundation Establishment fails, you’ll have to either get married or serve in the military. If you succeed, at least you can control your own destiny.”
As they were friends after all, Chen Mobai still offered a word of advice. He then shared some of his own insights about Foundation Establishment, even revealing key points like the Spiritual Power Vortex.
To this, Shi Wanyu seemed somewhat inattentive, as if her mind was elsewhere.
Seeing her lower her head to drink her coffee, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but silently sigh.
Indeed, the people from Bai Er Shi Fu have little ambition.
It’s no wonder that some well-known teachers are reluctant to go there. With this attitude, the quality of teachers and students will continue to decline, creating a vicious cycle. Even someone like Shi Wanyu, who could be considered a hidden gem, can’t shine due to the environment and ends up being buried and assimilated.
After finishing the discussion about White Stone and Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai asked Shi Wanyu about her plans after graduation.
“I haven’t decided yet, but military service can be postponed for up to a year and a half. I plan to work and save money. With a loan maybe I could afford Spirit Ascension Powder. Together with the Solidifying Qi Liquid that I can get from the academy, I could gather the two Trithings for Foundation Establishment and give it one last try before enlisting.”
Shi Wanyu was very uncertain about her future. She had no confidence in her ability to Establish Foundation but didn’t want to serve in the military either.
So, her whole heart was set on having a child.
At this thought, she lifted her head to meet Chen Mobai’s gaze, and her cheeks turned crimson in an instant; she shyly and quickly lowered her head again.
Chen Mobai was puzzled by her reaction but did not dwell on it. He then went on to speak about the Critical Edge method, a prime Foundation Establishment technique.
Shi Wanyu, having never heard of it, brightened at the mention of such a mystical method.
But upon hearing that even the talents from the Four Great Daoist Sects might not be able to master it, her spirits sank once more.
“Since you’re going to apply for a delay in military service, why not use this time to give cultivation a try? Who knows, you might succeed.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s comforting words, Shi Wanyu gave a slight nod of agreement.
By now, they had finished their meal. While the food tasted good, the portions were a bit small.
“Let’s order some more.”
Chen Mobai was about to stand up to call for a waiter. The private room was equipped with soundproofing and vibration-dampening restrictions, so unless the door was opened from the inside, those outside couldn’t hear anything.
“I’ll go and order,” Shi Wanyu suddenly spoke up. “I want to try some of the dishes you ordered just now. Do you want to try mine too? The coffee is pretty good.”
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but then politely nodded, indicating it was fine.
With excitement, Shi Wanyu got up and walked toward the door. Just as her hand touched the doorknob, Chen Mobai’s voice suddenly rang out, startling her so much that her entire delicate body trembled.
“Remember, this time I invited you, so don’t secretly go out and settle the bill. That would put me in an awkward position.”
“Haha… you caught me…”
Shi Wanyu’s voice trembled slightly, and she pretended to be embarrassed as she quickly opened the door to the private room.
Chen Mobai watched her leave and didn’t think much of it.
When he had previously asked Yan Bingxuan out to eat grilled fish, she often secretly paid the bill. This time, noticing something odd in Shi Wanyu’s gaze, he suddenly thought of this and couldn’t help but speak up first as a precaution.
Unexpectedly, his guess was spot on.
Chen Mobai shook his head, lamenting the lack of sincerity between people in his heart.
After waiting for a while, the sound of knocking came through. The sound from outside the private room’s restrictions could be transmitted inside.
Chen Mobai used the method he had been taught when he booked the room to control the restrictions. Sitting in his seat, the door automatically opened.
Shi Wanyu walked in with a pure face blushing faintly. It seemed she really did feel guilty about paying the bill.
Chen Mobai, an old hand at life, could tell at a glance that she was a bit nervous inside, but he sighed inwardly and didn’t speak again to avoid upsetting her already sensitive emotions.
“Take a seat.”
Chen Mobai said to the bright, hesitant girl standing at the door, still smiling.
It had to be said; Shi Wanyu’s looks were outstanding, especially because she knew her charm well and dressed in a way that flattered her figure perfectly.
Her legs were slender, and the pair of white, slightly translucent stockings wrapped around them made her skin look smooth and translucent, enhancing the fluid lines. As she walked in wearing little leather shoes, it was hard not to appreciate her beauty.
Not long after Shi Wanyu took her seat nervously, someone knocked on the door and brought in the newly ordered coffee and cake.
“Senior, this coffee tastes great, give it a try.”
Shi Wanyu picked up her newly ordered tea, smiling as she spoke. Chen Mobai also graciously picked up the coffee in front of him, clinked it with hers, and took a delicate sip.
The taste was indeed good, and after one sip, he took another.
In no time at all, he had finished the entire cup.
Just as Chen Mobai was about to eat the chocolate crisp and prepare to end the meeting with Shi Wanyu and leave, an indescribable strange feeling came over him.
His gaze uncontrollably fell on the slender legs of the girl sitting in front of him, crossed neatly. His keen vision allowed him to see all the details of the white stockings, presenting an irresistible temptation that suddenly made him want to reach out and touch the sleek curves of these slim, fluid legs.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai’s self-control was still good, and feeling that something was amiss, he wanted to get up.
But at that moment, a fierce blaze ignited in his heart, and then he fell unconscious.
He didn’t know how long had passed when Chen Mobai woke up from his faint.
Feeling an indescribable headache, he struggled to his feet, only to find himself still in the maid café’s private room, but now lying on the sofa.
“I’ve been set up! Could she be from the Ascension Sect?”
Since he had never encountered danger within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai instinctively lost that vigilant mentality he had in the Tianhe Realm.
Muttering to himself, Chen Mobai immediately closed his eyes to meditate.
But he found no obstacles in circulating his power; both his spiritual power and divine sense were as clear as ever.
He then pulled out his phone to call Che Yucheng and talk about the incident, but at that moment, he suddenly noticed something strange.
Chen Mobai got up from the sofa and went to the nearby trash can. There, he saw some tissues stained with fresh blood and a pair of torn, removed white stockings.
