Literary Observation
Chi Xin was drinking tea with Ming Wu again, "Did you notice anything about that villa?"
Ming Wu took a sip of tea and a peanut, "That's a gathering of yin energy, with surrounding graves and an extremely yin location, and then on top of that, an extremely yin person."
Chi Xin: "So what does that person want to do?"
Ming Wu: "For a cultivator, it's one of two things: either longevity or pursuing the Dao."
Chi Xin: "So you're pursuing the Dao?"
Ming Wu shook his head: "I want both, but the Dao is more important. As for the other, we'll see."
Chi Xin shook his head, "Heaven, heaven, heaven, always looking to heaven. I've donated so much money, but I haven't seen heaven drop any dumplings for me."
"Rumble!" There was suddenly a clap of thunder.
The two looked outside, Ming Wu said, "See, it's angry."
Chi Xin took out a red envelope, "Here!"
Ming Wu smoothly accepted it, and then the sky cleared up. Chi Xin looked around, "It really is, it changes faces super quickly."
...
After staying in the hospital for two more days, Chu Yang didn't feel like there was anything else, so she demanded to return to school. She only needed to come back later to change her bandages.
When she returned to the dorm, Jin Yang and the other two were excitedly rushing over to hug her, "Chu Yang, you've finally come back after saving the world!"
"Mmhm."
After some small talk, Chu Yang asked about Jin Yang's recent assignments and notes, and then began studying.
However, everyone then noticed that Chu Yang's crystal ball wasn't lighting up in the dorm, and her microblog hadn't resumed updating either.
Jin Yang carefully asked, "Chu Yang, are you still updating your microblog?"
Chu Yang then remembered, "I forgot, it'll be a while before that. I'm low on energy recently."
"Oh, is it because you used too much energy saving the world?"
Chu Yang nodded: "Yes. So I need to rest for a while."
"Okay, let us know if you're not feeling well."
"Okay."
After that, Chu Yang attended classes diligently. Whenever she had free time, Zhi Yan would take her to change her bandages. After a little over a week, her wounds had mostly scabbed over, leaving just a scar, but Chu Yang didn't mind.
Chu Yang didn't mind, but Zhi Yan was very concerned about it. Not only did he buy her extremely expensive skincare products that cost tens of thousands per drop, but he even said he knew a scar removal expert.
"Are you very concerned about it?" Chu Yang asked.
Of course Zhi Yan wasn't concerned. He was just worried that she would be concerned about it. He kissed her scar, "This is your badge of honor. I'm not concerned, I'm just afraid you'll be concerned about it." He thought girls generally disliked having scars on their bodies.
Chu Yang shook her head: "No, I don't mind either. Don't worry about it, it'll fade over time." Her magical powers could heal the scars on her body, it would just be a bit slower. Plus, with her currently limited magical powers and the loss of her crystal ball, it would be even slower.
"Okay." Zhi Yan was relieved. He had just seen some people online doing things like laser treatments, surgery, and liposuction for beauty reasons, with some taking it to extremes.
Zhi Yan respected everyone's personal choice. He didn't think there was anything wrong with those procedures. If Chu Yang wanted to do them, he wouldn't mind either, as long as it was safe. He was only afraid of it being unsafe. He had also seen cases of people dying on the operating table at shady clinics, and it had given him a fright when he saw those.
Besides studying, Chu Yang had also been collecting information. She needed to make a new crystal ball, and all the information pointed her to a small country in the West, the same location she had seen on TV previously.
Chu Yang was thinking that she would go there once there was a holiday.
After the freshmen military training was completed, club recruitment activities began. As a member of the Literary Society, Chu Yang also had a task, which was just to help with recruitment. As for why she had become a member of the Literary Society, it dated back to that competition last semester. Because she had later made it to the finals, the president of the Literary Society had approached her.
"Student Chu Yang, I solemnly invite you to join our Literary Society."
Just as Chu Yang was about to refuse, the president immediately said, "Don't refuse right away, listen to me first about the benefits. Our Literary Society doesn't force members to complete tasks, and you can join as an honorary member whether you come or not. You don't even have to attend our meetings. And on top of that, you can earn extra credits. Basically, you can just be a nominal member."
When Chu Yang heard that she could get credits without doing anything, not agreeing would have made her a fool.
So she joined, but...despite being told there were no mandatory tasks, there were still tasks. A group of beautiful girls from the Literary Society would give you pitiful looks and ask, "Student Chu Yang, could you help us with a favor?"
With so many beauties asking you, how could you not agree? You'd have to be unappreciative to refuse.
And then there were the recruitment tasks. Each person had to recruit at least five new members, the more the better!
Five people? Chu Yang didn't even know that many people herself.
However, the Literary Society was holding scheduled recruitment activities in the plaza that day. Since Chu Yang was free, she went.
The Literary Society members greeted her when they saw her coming: "Chu Yang, you're here? Quick, quick, come sit over here."
Chu Yang went and sat on a bench, asking, "How many people have you recruited today?"
One of the girls said, "Only fifteen so far. Everyone thinks our Literary Society is just about writing compositions and doesn't have any fun activities. But we're not just about writing compositions, you know. We also collaborate with the Drama Society to perform plays, and a lot of the scripts are written by us. There are also prediction games, and we have spring and autumn outings to visit famous scenic spots and historical sites. It's really fun."
Chu Yang nodded: "Yeah, but then you have to write reflections after the visits."
The girl responded with a stilted laugh: "Ah...heh heh heh."
Chu Yang looked over at the nearby Cosplay Society's recruitment drive: "New members get free hugs from big sisters and brothers! Everyone come to the Cosplay Society. We have lots of pretty girls."
Then she looked at the Boxing Society on the other side: "New members get to hug handsome big brothers. Look at our Boxing Society, they all have huge pecs and are super buff. You'll feel really safe."
Chu Yang asked, "Don't we offer anything for new members?"
Another girl said, "They're being too low-class."
Just then, a male student walked over and asked, "Does the Literary Society offer hugs from big sisters for new members?"
The two girls eagerly replied, "Yes, yes, absolutely! You can choose whichever one you like."
The student looked at Chu Yang: "Does this big sister offer hugs too?"
Chu Yang: ??
Oh my!
Chu Yang refused.
The girl said, "Uh...this student is our society's treasure. You, uh..." She sized him up, clearly implying he wasn't good enough. "You're not up to her standards. But if you join our society and win the XX award this year, then maybe..."
The student exclaimed, "Where's the pen? I'm joining!"
Chu Yang: ??
"Okay, okay, the pen is here. Just fill out this form."
After the student left, the two girls turned to Chu Yang: "Chu Yang, your quota is down by one now."
Chu Yang: "That counts for me?"
The girls: "Of course. He came because of you, after all."
"Er..."
