Chapter 1102: My Youth Has Returned!
"I feel that her looks bore some resemblance to Great Teacher Xie. Could this be her illegitimate daughter?"
The gatekeeper guessed.
(Ai! I want her so badly!)
When Xie Enhui walked to the school, she could feel the pa.s.sersby checking her out. Their faces were filled with stunned expressions.
This was something Xie Enhui had never experienced before. For a time, she was so happy that she felt somewhat floaty.
"I"m the number one beauty in the great teacher world!"
Xie Enhui really felt like standing at the top of the teaching building and shouting loudly to vent her emotions. But after being happy for a few seconds, she was depressed again.
She suddenly thought of An Xinhui, as well as the beauty of Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo.
"So annoying!"
…
After hearing the knocks on the door, Wan Kangcheng put his brush down and rubbed his eyes.
"Headmaster, other than the number of lectures being reduced to five per day, the other conditions haven"t changed."
Xie Enhui reported.
"Oh,"
Wan Kangcheng felt some complicated emotions.
He loathed Sun Mo because Sun Mo had poached away Secondary Saint s.h.i.+, someone he respected. However, he also understood that Sun Mo"s lecture would bring great value to the school.
In fact, in order to allow more teachers to attend his lectures, Wan Kangcheng was going to prohibit students from monopolizing seats.
That would be a waste.
"Do you still have other matters for me?"
Xie Enhui felt depressed and frustrated. (Why don"t you lift your head? Look at me! Quickly look at me!)
"Nope, you can get off work!"
Wan Kangcheng lifted his brush and prepared to continue his work.
(No wonder you can"t get a wife despite having lived for such a long time. So, your eyes are blind. This beautiful me is standing right before your eyes, but you actually didn"t see it?)
Xie Enhui mumbled silently in her heart. She wanted nothing more than to grab Wan Kangcheng"s hair and lift his head to ask him a question.
(Am I beautiful?)
However, Xie Enhui ultimately was wise and embarra.s.sed to make insinuations to entice him.
(Hmph! Missing out on admiring my beauty would be your worst loss in life!)
"Mn? Teacher Xie, what"s that smell coming from your body? Why is it so fragrant?"
Wan Kangcheng sniffed.
He wasn"t intentionally profaning Xie Enhui. Since he was an alchemist and although the smell of the ancient whale oil was already very faint, his sense of smell was still sharp enough to capture it.
As Wan Kangcheng spoke, he subconsciously lifted his head. After that, he started. (Who is this?)
(Haha, this is the expression I want!)
After seeing the dumbfounded look on Wan Kangcheng"s face, Xie Enhui really felt like using an image-recording stone to record this scene down. However, she understood she had to be more reserved.
Beauties must all be reserved and aloof!
"Headmaster, what"s wrong with you?"
Xie Enhui feigned shock.
"Y...you…"
For a time, Wan Kangcheng didn"t know what to say.
(Her voice and figure belong to Xie Enhui, that old woman. But why is her face so young? d.a.m.n! Why is my heart thumping?)
"What about me?"
Xie Enhui blinked her eyes.
(You don"t say...if an old woman tried to act cute, it would surely disgust me. But if you are doing this with such a young-looking face, things are different.)
Wan Kangcheng couldn"t help but sigh ruefully. (My spring has returned!)
Actually, one couldn"t blame Old Wan. In the modern era, Sun Mo had seen too many posters of beautiful girls. Besides, given his own sense of aesthetics, he had chosen a supreme-tier celebrity as the template when he had done the surgery for Xie Enhui.
"Are you Teacher Xie?"
Wan Kangcheng asked.
"If not?"
Xie Enhui replied with a straight face.
"Eh!"
Wan Kangcheng started in amazement. "Is this the effect of G.o.d Hands?"
"Mn!"
Xie Enhui nodded. "If there"s nothing else, I"m getting off work."
Wan Kangcheng looked at Xie Enhui"s departing back. Only when she had left did he utter a single word.
"Awesome!"
In the earliest days when Sun Mo shot to fame, it was precisely because of G.o.d Hands. However, everyone had only heard about it and had never seen it personally. But now, Wan Kangcheng was fully convinced.
"I wonder if I should look for him to do some beautification for my face as well?"
Wan Kangcheng touched the wrinkles and folds on his face. In the end, he still sighed and decided to give up.
(I don"t feel like begging Sun Mo!)
Creak!
Wan Kangcheng pushed his chair back. Standing up and walking to the window, he cast his gaze onto the campus. Not long later, Xie Enhui"s figure appeared.
"Was she so beautiful when she was young?"
Wan Kangcheng sighed ruefully. "I"m envious of Old Cai."
On her way home, Xie Enhui was recalling the shocked expression on Vice Headmaster Wan"s face. She felt extremely joyful, but there was also a hint of regret.
(How good would it be if I knew Sun Mo earlier?!)
…
Xie Enhui"s house was just a street away from the school. It was considered a residential courtyard.
Her husband was named Cai Zhong and they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. He was also employed in the Black-White Academy, but he was just a 5-stars great teacher.
Although it might look like there was only a small distance between 5-stars and 7-stars, it was something that many great teachers might never be able to cross.
Cai Zhong had worked hard for ten years, but when he knew that he wasn"t able to catch up to his wife, he started to give up on himself.
Every day, he would go to work and go off work at a fixed time. After that, he would head to the Linjiang Pavilion to drink wine, living a life of enjoyment.
Today, Cai Zhong returned home as usual with his body reeking alcohol.
"Has madam returned?"
When Cai Zhong saw the butler, he casually asked this question.
"Y...yes!"
The butler stuttered.
"What"s wrong?"
Cai Zhong was curious.
"M...master, you should head to the study to take a look for yourself!"
The butler mentally mused that he had almost closed the door in the madam"s face.
(This can"t be blamed on me! You became so much younger, who would recognize you?)
Cai Zhong was clueless and he went to the study.
Before the large desk, his wife was currently working.
(There"s nothing wrong, right?)
When Cai Zhong turned and was preparing to leave, he suddenly froze as though someone had cast an immobilization spell on him.
(This beautiful lady… Who is she?)
(Could it be that my wife has finally thought things through and permitted me to have a concubine? Is this the concubine she has chosen for me? Wait a minute, she"s wearing my wife"s clothes?)
Xie Enhui was used to her husband"s behavior. Hence, she only glanced at him and lowered her head again, continuing to focus on her work.
"Go and take a shower now. Sleep earlier."
Xie Enhui sighed.
They had been married for a long time after all. When Cai Zhong heard this familiar voice, he suddenly started. "W...wife?"
"If not? Do you think the little lover you"ve hidden away came to find you?"
Xie Enhui mocked.
"Eh!"
Cai Zhong didn"t care about the teasing. He asked, "What"s going on? Your face…?"
As he spoke, Cai Zhong rushed into the room.
(My heavens, isn"t she too beautiful? This is my wife? Is this a joke? If I have a wife of this standard, why would I still need to visit brothels? I would rush home immediately after work.)
"It"s Sun Mo"s G.o.d Hands that helped me to remove my wrinkles!"
Xie Enhui explained.
"It"s just that?"
Cai Zhong didn"t believe it. (You weren"t so good-looking when you were younger!)
"What do you think?" Xie Enhui berated.
"It"s my mistake!"
Cai Zhong hurriedly smiled apologetically. After that, he felt some self-reproach. (How many years has it only been, yet I"ve already forgotten my wife"s face?)
Gradually, his happy memories from their youth resurfaced.
"You should go and take a shower first!"
Xie Enhui smiled in a grieving manner. "I know that you have long since been feeling unhappy about me and want to divorce me. Today, I shall agree to it."
Honestly speaking, if it wasn"t for the fact that she cared about her face as well as still loved Cai Zhong, Xie Enhui would have said this long ago.
"Wife, what are you talking about?"
Cai Zhong shook his head. "Life will surely be b.u.mpy, but it will be fine as long as we talk things through. As for the matter of divorce, let"s not mention it again!"
Only half of this sentence was from the bottom of his heart. The other half was because Xie Enhui became beautiful.
Xie Enhui"s eyes grew somewhat red.
"My wife, I was wrong. In the future, I will return home the moment I get off work!"
Cai Zhong held Xie Enhui"s hands. "Actually, I always felt very dispirited because you are too overly outstanding."
The two of them began a heart-to-heart chat.
Gradually, they cuddled together.
At night, on their bed!
Xie Enhui saw a flash of disappointment on her husband"s face after she undressed. She suddenly felt like looking for Sun Mo to beautify the skin of her body too.
"Little Hui, I love you!"
Cai Zhong whispered his wife"s pet name and felt that his condition had never been as good as this before.
All of a sudden, the spirit qi in Cai Zhong"s body was like a flint that was struck. Large amounts of sparks appeared and after that, they transformed into a blazing flame.
A vast amount of spirit qi gushed forth and entered Cai Zhong"s body.
"He actually broke through?"
Xie Enhui was stunned.
She knew that her husband had been stuck at the first level of the Longevity Realm for five years. She didn"t expect him to achieve a breakthrough unexpectedly tonight.
"I...I…"
Cai Zhong was so agitated that he was shaking. In the Longevity Realm, every level you broke through would increase your lifespan by 50 years. No matter who it was, they would surely be extremely happy.
"Great Teacher Sun is awesome!"
Cai Zhong also didn"t want to sleep anymore. "Men, prepare an expensive gift. I want to pay a visit to Great Teacher Sun tomorrow!"
"Why are you acting crazy?"
Xie Enhui rolled her eyes at her husband. She soon understood that Cai Zhong could break through because the two of them had a heart-to-heart chat tonight, and the knot in his heart had been untied.
Naturally, the most important thing was that she became beautiful. It was because of this that they had the basis for this conversation.
If not, her husband probably would have had no patience to talk to a faded old woman.
(Ai! Men are all pigs.)
…
The next day.
During breakfast in the Black-White Academy, topics about Sun Mo frenziedly began to spread.
"Guoping, over here!"
After seeing her best friend, Tang Qian waved her hands. Sitting down, she impatiently asked, "Do you have any cla.s.ses this morning?"
"No, what"s the matter?"
Zhang Guoping peeled an egg.
"Sun Mo, Great Teacher Sun, has arrived at our school and will conduct a public lecture. Do you want to go for a listen?"
Tang Qian divulged.
"Ah? A lecture on medical cultivation?"
Zhang Guoping"s eyes brightened. She was very interested in this.
"I don"t know, but he will surely lecture about everything?"
Tang Qian continued urging. "Eat quickly so we can reserve seats!"
"Did our school invite Great Teacher Sun?"
Zhang Guoping was curious. "But Sun Mo"s fame is worthy of them doing so!"
"He wasn"t invited by our school. The standard of our Black-White Academy isn"t so low yet. I heard that Sun Mo came here because he wished to headhunt graduate students."
A person beside them interjected after hearing Zhang Guoping"s words.
Such a large school contained tens of thousands of students and teachers. It was impossible for everyone to admire Sun Mo.
He said this primarily for Tang Qian"s sake.
This girl"s appearance was well worth a second look.
Zhang Guoping didn"t take note of these words because her gaze had landed on another male student, and her eyes were filled with adoration.
