Chapter 332 - 329: That Was My First Time

The moon hangs above the willow tips.

Western Capital University dormitory area, in the single dorm room of Blood Spider.

"Are you really sure about this?" Bai Pu asked with a serious expression.

"I’m sure."

Blood Spider mumbled, "I see you seem to enjoy it every time."

"How am I enjoying this!"

Bai Pu was speechless.

Doing such strange things can easily be misunderstood, so the Boundary Land at Pengliu Island is definitely off-limits.

Who knows how many hidden spiritual cameras are there, and if there’s a live broadcast in the stadium, we’re done for.

"Put away your equipment," Bai Pu suggested.

Blood Spider obediently complied, setting her top to hidden mode.

"Hey, turn around," Bai Pu’s eyes were almost dazzled.

Without the binding of leather armor, the chubbiness of the blocked head ghost became even grander, fortunately separated by a silk shirt.

Blood Spider turned around, slowly took off her shirt, revealing her fair back.

Her shoulders were white and rounded, skin smooth as jade, and through the side ribs, one could vaguely see the slightly rounded front contour, akin to the graceful curves of a classic porcelain.

A slim waist perfectly complemented the curve of her beautiful back.

Honestly, not cupping this beautiful back would be a pity.

Bai Pu silently collected himself, took out the Holy Thorns (imitation), and gently lifted it.

Cruel admonition!

Lan Feng, passing by, unintentionally saw Bai Pu entering Blood Spider’s dorm.

For reasons unknown, she held her breath and stayed silent.

Estimating that the two were nearly done with the preliminary steps, Lan Feng quietly pressed against the wall.

A voice of grievance reached her ears:

"Stop, enough!"

"What’s wrong?" Bai Pu’s voice responded.

"It hurts too much!"

"I know it hurts, bear with it."

"Really, no more..."

"Okay. Want me to apply some ointment for you?"

"Sure..."

The conversation reached her ears, and Lan Feng’s eyes widened.

What kind of situation is this?!

Unfortunately, they had drawn the curtains!

Lan Feng wished she could transform into a Spiritual Talent and pull open a corner of the curtain from inside to satisfy her curiosity.

For some reason, she thought of Bai Pu’s handsome face, his muscular, masculine body, and the image in her mind suddenly became harmonious.

Her breathing was a bit heavy.

"Who’s there?" Bai Pu’s voice called from inside.

Lan Feng was startled, immediately activated the acceleration sprint effect of her shoes, darted out like the wind, returned to her dormitory, and locked the door.

She panted heavily, leaning back against the door, and slid down weak-kneed to sit.

"Was there someone just now?" Blood Spider asked curiously.

Bai Pu applied emergency first aid ointment to Blood Spider, saying, "Maybe someone passed by."

A clear whip mark was on Blood Spider’s back. Every touch from Bai Pu’s ointment-covered fingers caused her body to slightly tremble.

"How do you feel, besides the pain, do you think your comprehension has improved?" Bai Pu inquired.

"It hurt too much to really savor it," Blood Spider felt a bit embarrassed. She crossed her arms over her chest, abundant curves spilling through the gaps of her arms.

After applying the ointment, Blood Spider put her shirt back on, and her equipment became visible again.

She still had tears in her eyes, clearly the pain from the "cruel admonition" exceeded her expectations.

"How did you endure it?" Blood Spider asked curiously.

"Hmm... I’m not quite sure."

Bai Pu actually knew the reason. Once, his organs failed, his body was withering, and the pain he endured was not much less than the whipping of the Holy Thorns (imitation), the key was seeing no end.

Bai Pu didn’t want to play the pity card. He stood up and said, "If you’re okay, I’ll be going now."

"Wait..."

Blood Spider’s eyes bright and shiny, she whispered, "That was my first time. Maybe I wasn’t mentally prepared. In the future... if you have time, I’d like to try again."

"We’ll see..."

Bai Pu shook his head, not optimistic.

...

Three days passed again, the top eight matches were all over.

The semi-final list came out.

As predicted by the outside world, Western Capital and Qianyuan, the two long-established universities, firmly occupied two places.

The other two universities were Xicheng University of Technology and Chengji University.

The Chengji University team is also located in the Western Capital, a strong school not inferior to Western Capital or Qianyuan University, ranking second only to those two in Huaxia.

The team leader, Dragon City, is also a top-five expert and was among the first to be recruited as a preparatory voter.

No need to draw lots for the semi-finals.

During the draw for the top eight, they conveniently determined the semi-finals and finals bracket.

In the semi-finals, Xili Institute of Technology faced Qianyuan University, Chengji University faced Western Capital University.

Bai Pu didn’t watch the matches, he took some time to visit the territory.

This was his first time transporting via the [Count’s Badge of the Fu Lei Clan], which felt no different from the usual Spirit Realm transport.

However, the teleportation area was fixed, that is, Bai Pu’s territory, Scania.

Due to limited time, Bai Pu first headed to Baisong Mine and single-handedly incorporated the group of bandits there.

So-called bandits were actually mostly peasants who had lost their land during the transition of the Blood Ring Empire.

The folk in Northern Europe were fiercely brave, being descendants of Viking pirates, they turned to banditry under the instigation of a few desperados, occupying the richest Baisong Mine in Scania.

As for strength, the bandits were generally of an ordinary template, with only a few leaders being elite or enhanced elite in strength.

Two well-armed Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior squads would be enough to crush them, and Bai Pu personally acted, which was like a laser sword against primitive men, a dimension-reducing attack.

The huge disparity in strength, coupled with Bai Pu’s "world-renowned" A-level reputation, caused these bandits to grovel and beg for mercy without much dignity.

However, as they had killed people, Bai Pu needed to execute some leaders as an example, so he beheaded a few instigators and then led the remaining incorporated bandits to meet Practical Officer Mr. Olsson.

Mr. Olsson complained to him that the Regent Empress Dowager’s new edict left all the great nobles of the Empire lost.

Without private armies, brigands within nobility territories and the roving remnants of Blood Ring monsters couldn’t be quickly and efficiently solved.

Mr. Olsson asked Bai Pu if the Regent Empress Dowager could retract the new decree.

It seemed the news that Bai Pu was a guest behind the scenes with the Empress Dowager was no longer a secret.

Bai Pu declined Mr. Olsson. The absence of private armies among nobles was, in fact, a crucial step for Sweden to enhance centralization. Qin would gradually enact new commands to retrieve the nobles’ rights.

But, considering Bai Pu’s status, Scania Region was special.

Even if Bai Pu raised a private army, Qin wouldn’t interfere.

Yet, Bai Pu couldn’t openly oppose Qin.

"Mr. Olsson, you’ve forgotten my status as an Imperial Marshal. I have my personal guard."

Bai Pu smiled slightly, "I have already notified Qin to send a personal guard to Scania. This way, small matters like this won’t require bothering me again."

As for how to notify, it was simple, Bai Pu could perform a cross-boundary summon.

He even took time to clap with Qin, though the time was tight, leaving him somewhat wanting more.

Mr. Olsson was relieved, realizing Bai Pu’s standing, whose words and actions held significant weight in Sweden, indeed couldn’t casually express opinions.

"The emergence of bandits in Baisong Mine was not by chance. Old Bill collected some True Silver Sand in the mine! Lord, this could be an associated mineral, and if it can be stably produced monthly, we’ll be rich!"

True Silver, also known famously as "Mithril"!
