Chapter 827: Eat A Good Meal To Calm Your Nerves First!
There were no fatties among successful cultivators. This was an iron-clad rule.
Other than those special cultivation arts that would cause one to become fat, one could say that there were no fatties among cultivators.
Because cultivation was a process of unceasingly surpassing one’s own limits.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, the lifespan of an ordinary man was 50 years old. If they were lucky, they could live a complete sexagenary cycle of 60 years. As for those in the Longevity Realm, they had at least several hundred years of life.
In this world, who didn’t want eternal life?
But how could gaining eternal life be easy?
Leaving aside the Legendary Realm, if one wanted to enter the Longevity Realm, they had to cultivate extremely assiduously.
If you cultivated for a long period, it was very difficult even if you wanted to be fat.
Students would evaluate whether an opponent was strong or not based on their body size. Height was something innately inherited from parents, and no one had a way to change it. But whether you were fit or not, this was something you had power over.
For those fellows whose body was rippling with muscles, everyone knew they weren’t good targets to antagonize with a single glance. These people must have sweated tremendously in the process of cultivation.
This girl before their eyes was over 200 jin no matter how one looked at it. This meant that she was undisciplined when it came to eating or she was lazy during cultivation. No matter which was the point, she was considered an inferior product.
Although it was not appropriate for that personal teacher to remove their relationship as a teacher and student, everyone could understand his reasons. After all, if they were the ones in his shoes, they also didn’t want trash like this. It wasn’t too bad for everyone to part without hard feelings.
But what did this intern teacher say?
He wanted to teach her?
Was he blind?
(Didn’t you personally see a 3-star great teacher climbing out from this ‘pit’? Yet, you want to jump inside it yourself? Is there something wrong with your head?)
Murong Mingyue’s beautiful brows were furrowed. She stared at Sun Mo and surveyed him. She didn’t understand what he was doing.
Even Song En`min who was already out of the door and almost walking down the stairs, couldn’t help but turn his head back in astonishment.
“Could it be that this intern teacher is a fool?”
However, Song En`min wanted nothing more than for Xianyu Wei to agree to it. By doing so, he would be freed.
“Ah?”
Xianyu Wei started. (Who are you?)
The gaze of this 200 jin girl matched with Sun Mo’s. She discovered that although Sun Mo wasn’t handsome, his eyes were very deep and contained a mysterious charm.
Naturally, the most important thing was there was gentleness in those eyes.
It was as though he was saying, ‘I understand you, I know you are a piece of unpolished jade, I will turn you into a bright pearl.’
Xianyu Wei’s tears immediately flowed.
(But…)
(I can’t agree.)
Xianyu Wei stood up. Her legs drew together as she bowed deeply.
“Sorry, I cannot become your personal student. Although my teacher doesn’t want me, I should work harder and make him retract his thoughts.”
Xianyu Wei apologized. “I’m extremely grateful with regard to your good will, but I can only repay you by being your personal student in my next life.”
Puhaha!
Someone couldn’t help but laugh.
(Next life? Look at how heavy you weigh. Do you know that you are harming people if you become their personal student?)
“…”
Sun Mo was speechless. Actually, he wanted to teach her simply because he didn’t want a good seedling to be buried by psychological impact. He had no plans to immediately accept her as his disciple. After all, he had to check her nature and temperament first.
But who knew that she had rejected it first.
This was a little embarrassing then.
“Since this great teacher is willing to accept you, why don’t you agree? This situation can be considered a triple win.”
Song En`min’s voice drifted over from the outside. “Xianyu, I won’t accept you as my personal student ever again in this life. If I break this vow, let my arms be shattered. You are on your own now.”
“Teacher…”
Xianyu Wei was in despair.
Song En`min also no longer stayed. He turned and left swiftly.
He made a solemn vow because he wanted to completely crush Xianyu Wei’s hope. As for his vow coming true?
Please!
He would only accept her again if Xianyu Wei revealed a shocking performance that rivaled absolute geniuses, but was it possible for her?
Absolutely not!
“Boohoohoo!”
Xianyu Wei started crying once more.
“In any case, you no longer have a personal teacher, so why don’t you follow me and cultivate?”
Sun Mo consoled her. “We just have to get rid of your fats first.”
“My father says that I can stay warm like this.”
Xianyu Wei felt somewhat repulsive psychologically toward losing weight.
“…”
Sun Mo was speechless. (How badly must your father have doted on you? He actually found an excuse for your fatness? If you are afraid of the cold, can’t you simply wear more clothes?)
“Okay, stop talking rubbish. Look around the school, how many fat girls are there?”
Sun Mo’s expression turned solemn. “Follow me.”
“For what?”
The sad Xianyu Wei didn’t want to move.
“Eat!”
Sun Mo could tell that this girl was not only innocent, but her personality was also weaker. So, rather than talking nicely to her, he might as well give her a forceful command.
“Ah?”
Xianyu Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly felt like going.
“Don’t feel conflicted anymore. Go and a good meal first to calm your nerves.”
Sun Mo mentally mused. (After this meal, your devilish training will begin.)
What occupation was a great teacher?
They were educators who could turn stone into gold. Sun Mo believed that allowing Xianyu Wei to shine would surely be able to cause the examiner’s evaluation of him to rise.
“Strange, what does he want to do exactly?”
Murong Mingyue couldn’t understand.
The only possibility was that he wanted to teach Xianyu Wei properly and proved his teaching standards, making the school look at him in a new light so he would have a chance to join the school.
But wasn’t that too difficult?
The internship period of the Dragon Subduing Academy was six months. This was such a short span of time, and whether the girl could slim down or not was also a problem.
Or could it be that it was purely because of his kind-heartedness that he didn’t want to see a girl being sad?
Murong Mingyue, who had various thoughts flitting in her mind, couldn’t help but open up the paper slip Sun Mo had passed her. When she saw the words that were written in an unprecedented font and filled with charm, she was completely stunned.
This calligraphy was so beautiful!
Although Murong Mingyue didn’t like calligraphy, she definitely had trained in it before since she was a great teacher. Hence, she could be sure that there were no such calligraphy fonts in the calligraphy world.
“How beautiful. These words exude the air of a grandmaster. If he continues to work hard for a few years, he will definitely become a great calligrapher.”
Murong Mingyue praised. (Oh right, what was his name? I forgot to ask.)
Murong Mingyue suddenly felt a little regret. She felt that people whose writing was beautiful would definitely not be villainous characters.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Murong Mingyue +20. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral: (20/100).
If Sun Mo could hear her thoughts, his lips would surely curl.
Qin Hui and Cai Jing were two traitors notorious in history, but they were both famed for having godly calligraphy skills.
…
Sun Mo wasn’t that particular when it came to food. But since he wanted to earn some favorable impression points, he naturally had to pick a better location.
“Just order what you like to eat!”
Sun Mo passed the menu that was filled with many names of dishes to Xianyu Wei.
Although he was just an intern teacher, he did have the qualifications to eat at the little canteen specifically operating for great teachers.
Naturally, those above 5-star could eat for free. Sun Mo had no choice but to pay from his own pockets.
“No! No!”
Xianyu Wei didn’t take the menu. She felt a little panicked and didn’t understand. (Why is this teacher treating me so well? Even my father wouldn’t permit me to eat so wantonly that I could order anything I want.)
Sun Mo couldn’t be bothered to argue. He directly ordered, “Give me one portion of everything on the menu.”
The chef with a large head couldn’t help but lift his head as he glanced at Sun Mo.
(Can you finish them all?)
But after seeing the 200 jin girl beside him, the chef revealed a look of understanding. He didn’t say anything and immediately started to work.
“Teacher, it’s too much.”
Xianyu Wei persuaded.
“Can you finish the food?”
Sun Mo counter-asked.
“I can!” Xianyu Wei nodded in certainty. “But…”
“There’s no but.”
Sun Mo interrupted her. “From today onward, follow me to cultivate.”
Xianyu Wei followed behind Sun Mo. After that, they sat down at a vacant seat by the side. Tears filled her eyes as she mumbled, “Teacher, you are a good guy!”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xianyu Wei +100. Prestige connection unlocked. Friendly (100/1,000).
“How can you tell I’m a good guy?”
Sun Mo was speechless? Why did you suddenly give me the good guy card?
(I want to accept you as my disciple due to kind intentions, so I can resolve your embarrassment. However, you didn’t contribute any favorable impression points then. In the end, you give me 100 points just because of a meal. You are really a glutton.)
“My father said that people who can share half their food with you are all nice people with the kindest hearts in the world.”
Xianyu Wei explained.
“You really have to thank the heavens and earth seeing that you weren’t swindled by people and sold off when you were younger.”
Sun Mo felt that if he met Xianyu Wei’s father, he definitely had to punch him twice. What nonsensical theory was this?
Not long later, the food was served.
Xianyu Wei started to eat and indeed, her sorrowful emotions were alleviated.
In the past, Sun Mo only knew the idiom ‘reincarnation of a hungry ghost’. But now, the idiom actually came true before his eyes.
“Please pay attention to your dining etiquette. You are a girl.”
Sun Mo couldn’t bear it anymore.
(You can eat pig trotters if you want, but can you not hold one in each hand? Also, don’t make squishing sounds when you eat.)
“Oh!”
Xianyu Wei grunted and did her best to change for the better.
“What thoughts do you have about your weight of 207 jin?”
Sun Mo drank his tea.
“204 jin.”
Xianyu Wei replied incongruously in an exceptionally serious manner. “I’m 204 jin.”
“How did you know?”
Sun Mo frowned. The data from Divine Sight would definitely have no mistakes.
“I weighed myself two days ago.”
Xianyu Wei was very confident.
“You mean you gained 3 jin in two days? What did you eat?”
Sun Mo was astonished. Even fats-enhancing agents wouldn’t have such a powerful fattening effect.
“Hehe, I found a huge beehive at the back mountain. The honey inside was very delicious.”
Xianyu Wei couldn’t help but lick the corner of her lips when she thought of this joyful thing.
If one sold the beehive and the honey, the price would at least be over ten thousand taels of silver. After all, the sugar-producing industry in the Nine Provinces wasn’t well developed yet. As long as it was something sweet, it would be able to sell for a very high price.
“Do you head out often to find food?”
Sun Mo was curious.
“Yup. This is my way to cultivate.”
Xianyu Wei felt a little complacent.
“What a damnably nonsensical cultivation method. This is just an excuse for you to be gluttonous.”
Sun Mo directly tore apart Xianyu Wei’s lies.
“My father says great teachers shouldn’t spew vulgarities.”
Xianyu Wei’s lips twitched.
“Did he also say great teachers can beat students?”
Sun Mo wanted to roll his eyes.
“Eh!”
She remembered that her father did say before that if she erred, the teachers could beat her as they liked. Xianyu Wei hurriedly changed her tune. “Teacher, I think it’s better if you continue scolding me in the future!”
“I’ve never seen a girl who doesn’t like beauty before. Could it be that you are an exception?”
Sun Mo intentionally teased.
“I also like beauty. I know how to doll myself up.”
Xianyu Wei disputed.
“Why do you eat until you are so plump then?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Eh!”
Xianyu Wei fell silent.
“You are fat because you cannot control your mouth. You can’t even control this most basic desire, yet you are still dreaming about having a resplendent future?”
After he spoke, Sun Mo’s body shone with a golden light that then illuminated the area.
“Priceless Advice?”
Xianyu Wei was shocked. After that, she left her seat and solemnly bowed to Sun Mo.
If Priceless Advice was activated, it meant that this teacher was truly thinking for her.
Boohoohoo!
(So, not all teachers in the world would forsake me.)
Xianyu Wei knew that because of her fats, many people weren’t willing to bother with her. Hence, although she had joined the school for two years, she didn’t have a single friend.
“…”
Sun Mo was also frightened. (I didn’t expect to be able to posture like this.)
“From tomorrow onward, I will give you a dietary plan. Just follow it strictly when you are eating.”
Sun Mo instructed.
“Oh.”
Xianyu Wei then stuffed a fist-sized meatball into her mouth. (I have to suffer from hunger in the future, so I have to eat my fill today.)
(Sigh. I wonder if I can order more dishes later?)
As she thought of this, she secretly cast a glance at Sun Mo.
“Don’t worry, the quantity of food won’t decrease, but the type of food you will be eating will have some changes.”
Sun Mo consoled her.
“Is this for real?”
Xianyu Wei was happy again as though she had found a doll she lost. (I will be happy as long as there’s something to eat. I don’t care whether the food is nice or not.)
“I can let you slim down, and there’s no need for you to suffer through anything!”
Sun Mo probed.
“Actually, I don’t mind to suffer a bit.”
Xianyu Wei mumbled to herself.
“Do you think your fats will believe your words?”
Sun Mo placed his teacup down.
Xianyu Wei was very smart and she immediately filled his cup for him.
“Two months later, the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony will arrive. Cultivate well now and at that time, you can display your brilliance and let all the teachers and students get to know the new you. All of them would then want to be friends with you!”
Sun Mo tossed a bait.
For humans, they needed a goal if they wanted to advance.
“C…can I?”
Xianyu Wei’s expression turned to disappointment.
Her talent might not be bad, but this place was the Dragon Subduing Academy, one of the Nine Greats. People more impressive than her could be found everywhere.
“If I say you can, it means you can.”
Sun Mo smiled.
“After dinner tonight, remember to come and look for me!”
Sun Mo casually ate a few dishes and prepared to leave.
“Teacher, can I look for you before dinner?”
Xianyu Wei suggested.
“Mn?”
Sun Mo started. After that, he realized what was going on. (You want me to treat you to dinner?)
Xianyu Wei realized that she had said the wrong thing. Hence, she lowered her head and quickly apologized.
“Teacher, I was wrong.”
“Don’t apologize for small things like that. I’m very happy that you are willing to eat with me. Alright then, let’s meet later.”
Sun Mo waved his hand and left the restaurant.
“Boohoohoo, teacher is so gentle.”
Xianyu Wei’s tears covered her face. After eating another mouthful of pig trotters, she suddenly thought of an important thing. “Oh no, I still don’t know Teacher’s name.”
Deng!
Xianyu Wei stood up and immediately rushed after Sun Mo.
“Teacher, what’s your esteemed name?”
Sun Mo, who had already reached the entrance, mentally mused that this girl finally remembered to ask him for his name.
“Sun Mo!”
Sun Mo calmly replied.
However, the people in the restaurant all turned their heads in unison and looked over in curiosity.
When Xianyu Wei saw this scene, she was stunned. Could it be that this generous and gentle teacher was someone famous?
