She wore a simple yet high-quality Xiangyunsha silk top — soft, moon-white fabric that made her already-fair skin look almost translucent, with a cool, jade-like glow.
The design was modernized: a small stand-up collar accentuated her long, graceful swan-like neck. Below it, a flowing smoke-gray wide-leg pant moved like drifting clouds with every step, giving her an ethereal, otherworldly vibe.
Her waist-length black hair hung loose, completely natural, silky, and smooth.
She had the classic oval face — eyebrows like brushstrokes, eyes like paintings, a straight, elegant nose, and naturally pale-pink lips. Altogether, flawless.
But what really stuck out were her eyes: crystal-clear, like a cold mountain pool at the peak of late autumn — calm, sharp, with an innate detachment, like the world's noise simply didn't reach her.
This wasn't fake ice-queen arrogance — it was bone-deep coolness.
[Name: Xia Yubing]
[Looks: 92]
[Figure: B-cup]
[Sensitivity: 20 (extremely low)]
[Corruption Value: -50 (deeply despises evil thoughts)]
[Corruption Weakness: Jealousy, competitiveness]
[Cauldron Rank: S‑rank!]
S‑rank?!
Lin Feng's pupils shrank.
An S‑rank cauldron! But the sensitivity is only 20?
Please tell me she's not frigid…
During her self-introduction, those icy eyes lingered on Lin Feng longer than necessary before she sat down.
Finally, it was Lin Feng's turn.
The moment he stood up, he became the center of attention — all sixteen pairs of girl-eyes locked on him as they could see straight through him.
"Hi, I'm Lin Feng."
Simple intro, but it stirred the room.
"Wow! So handsome! The only guy in our class is a total hottie!"
"So lucky! I heard the two guys in Comparative Foreign Lit are either ugly as sin or flaming metrosexuals!"
"Hehe, the cutie glanced at me — does he like girls with a little meat on them?"
"Stop drooling!"
A bunch of girls chattered, blushing and giggling, stealing glances at Lin Feng, then quickly looking away.
Right then, the system's voice chimed in his head:
[Ding! Host has become an inner-sect disciple!]
[Mission: Form a nominal Dao Companion bond with an immortal maiden to mask your activities and lay groundwork for Joyous Union Sect's growth!]
[Reward: Charisma +5, Spirit Stones x500!]
Dao Companion? Basically a fake girlfriend, right? Lin Feng mused, then sat back down.
He chose the back-row window seat — still felt gazes from all sides.
A few girls pretended to chat with neighbors, angled faces, but their eyes kept drifting toward him. When Lin Feng's glance swept over, they'd turn away like scared rabbits, ears reddening.
One bolder girl even glanced back, then immediately faced forward, covering her mouth while whispering to her desk mate. Two of them giggled, shoulders shaking.
Guess I'm kinda popular. Lin Feng rubbed his chin, a smirk spreading.
With his looks, scoring a girlfriend among these sixteen girls should be easy.
"…Also, to help us bond faster, I'm organizing a weekend evening get-together — we'll go sing karaoke as a welcome party. First rule: no co-ed dorms…"
Qin Wanrou's gentle voice filled the room, but Lin Feng tuned it out completely.
His pocket vibrated — faint, not the usual WeChat pattern.
It was Mimi Social.
Heart thumping, he pulled it out, unlocked. Sure enough —
Little Raindrop: Is it the newest model?
The fish bit.
Lin Feng suppressed his excitement, fingers flying.
Ferry Me, Not Her: Of course! Just released this month, top-spec edition. I even picked the cute baby-pink for you!
Ferry Me, Not Her: This one!
To sell it, he switched to the shopping app, found the phone's page, picked a beautifully lit customer photo, saved it, and sent it over.
Back in the girls' dorm, Su Qingwen stared at the pink phone pic, heart pounding.
That's it! My dream phone!
Top-spec, ¥15,999! Her roommate's ¥9,999 standard black version looked like junk next to it. With this, she'd never have to endure those subtle jealous digs — people would envy her!
Clutching her knees on the bed, lips bitten, she nervously typed:
Little Raindrop: Are you sure… you're giving me this phone? It's really expensive!
Lin Feng smiled. She was hooked.
Ferry Me, Not Her: My girlfriend deserves the best.
A domineering yet doting line — he could already picture Su Qingwen blushing hard.
Seconds later, reply:
Little Raindrop: But… I don't want a boyfriend right now.
Here we go again. Lin Feng's smirk deepened.
He knew she wasn't here for romance — she was here to trade her first time for a phone. Girls just like to sound polite and hesitant.
Ferry Me, Not Her: It's just temporary — help me get over my breakup. Spend a few days with me, and the phone's yours.
Spend a few days with him?!
Su Qingwen, inexperienced but not clueless, knew "a few days" meant more than dinner and drinks. It meant her body.
Face flushed crimson, heart racing like it would leap out.
Little Raindrop: Wh… what do you take me for? I'm not that kind of girl!
[Ding! Su Qingwen's heart wavers. Corruption Value +5! Current: 10!]
When Lin Feng sent that earlier message, he'd actually felt a flicker of guilt — especially seeing her rejection. For a moment, he wondered if he'd misheard her "corrupt" inner voice. Maybe Senior Sister was just a genuinely good girl.
But the system's alert snapped him back to reality.
She was putting on an act — she'd probably already prepared to trade her first time, just waiting for the right excuse.
Ferry Me, Not Her: I didn't say you're that kind of girl. We'll be boyfriend/girlfriend for a few days; giving gifts to your girlfriend is normal, right?!
The excuse worked — the other side went silent for over a full minute.
