Hello readers! I would love to hear your thoughts on this fanfic. While translating every chapter, I've noticed many mistakes regarding names and cultivation details in the original fanfic, so after doing a bit of research, I've made corrections. You may have also seen that I've changed some dialogues and adjusted the plot.
Putting that aside, would you like me to continue this fanfic? I've realized that not many of you are reading it, and the traffic is low, so I'm curious to know your opinions. Should I drop it or keep going?

Chapter 92 –The Stubborn Wang Dong'er
Knock, knock, knock—
"Coming, coming."
As Huo Yuhao opened the dormitory door from the inside, the tall, graceful figure outside immediately came into view.
Though she was still dressed in the purple uniform that marked a fourth-year student, Huo Yuhao immediately noticed from subtle details that this was not the same outfit Jiang Nannan had worn during the day.
Her hair, slightly damp and clinging with residual moisture, shimmered with a soft luster. Her pale, smooth skin glowed faintly pink, and from her slightly open collar, a hint of white mist seemed to curl outward.
Had she come straight from her bath?
A flicker of puzzlement passed through Huo Yuhao's mind, but he still instinctively stepped aside and lowered his voice politely.
"Please, Sister Nannan, come in."
Whether it was his imagination or not, Huo Yuhao felt that as soon as he spoke, the flush on Jiang Nannan's delicate face deepened noticeably.
"Sorry to bother you…"
Her voice was barely above a whisper, trembling like the faintest of breezes, and a subtle fragrance accompanied her as she passed by Huo Yuhao. She moved with the cautious grace of a lamb walking willingly into a trap.
Ever since learning that Huo Yuhao had his own dormitory room, Tang Ya had occasionally spent nights with Yuhao. Jiang Nannan never thought she would find herself doing the same.
Most importantly… she had agreed without fully realizing it!
Thinking of the bath she had taken specifically before coming, Jiang Nannan's heart swelled with a strange mix of embarrassment and guilt.
Jiang Nannan… what are you thinking?
That's your roommate's little brother!
Click.
The crisp sound of the door closing broke Jiang Nannan's thoughts. Just as she feared, a life-changing moment was about to occur, Huo Yuhao's calm, gentle voice resounded from inside the room.
"Sister Nannan, the reason I called you here is that I'm working on a Spirit Tool, and I need you to act as a test subject. Today, we'll mainly be collecting data on your legs. You may need to come a few more times in the future."
Although called a Spirit Tool Armor, it functioned more like an exoskeleton when worn, so ensuring it fit perfectly during all kinds of movements was crucial.
Even the slightest gap could severely compromise its flexibility.
"Huh?"
Jiang Nannan's initial shyness gradually melted into a dazed blankness as she absorbed Huo Yuhao's words. After a long moment, she finally asked, slightly belatedly,
"A… spirit tool?"
"Yes," Huo Yuhao nodded. He recalled that in their previous lives, Jiang Nannan had refrained from using spirit tools, perhaps due to their cost. To avoid causing any discomfort this time, he carefully asked,
"Is there anything inconvenient about this?"
Jiang Nannan opened her mouth, unsure what to say. Relief mingled with a hollow emptiness in her chest. After hesitating, she finally offered a short reply:
"No, you can go ahead."
Not noticing anything unusual, Huo Yuhao smiled and sat down at his desk to start writing and drawing again.
"Sit on the bed and get ready. We'll begin shortly."
Jiang Nannan did not respond further. Only the soft rustling sound like bedding rubbing against clothes echoed from behind him, which Huo Yuhao ignored, absorbed in his work.
Not long after, the rustling ceased, replaced by Jiang Nannan's hesitant voice once more.
"Are we only collecting leg data?"
"Yes. But since we need to record data for various movements, it may take a long time. Today, we'll only finish half of it; you can go home afterward…"
Before Huo Yuhao could finish, Jiang Nannan interrupted.
"No problem. Let's get it done early. If it's too late, I can just sleep here—it's the same."
She added, for reasons Huo Yuhao could not fathom,
"Anyway, Xiao Ya has slept here before, too…"
"..."
"…Alright."
A while later, Huo Yuhao put down his drawings and looked up to see Jiang Nannan leaning against the headboard, her lower body tucked under the blanket.
Without thinking, he moved his stool beside the bed.
"Sister Nannan, we can start now."
"Mhm."
A faint, soft "Mhm" escaped her lips. A fresh blush quickly spread across her cheeks. As the blanket lifted, a streak of tender, fair skin glimmered under the light, catching Huo Yuhao's gaze.
Her loose academy pants had already slipped down, revealing her long, beautiful legs of such elegance and perfection that they seemed almost a treasure. {T/N: A green hat for Xu Shanshi}
Her toes were delicate as jade, her skin tight and fair, her legs showing not frailty but a balanced, supple beauty that made one reluctant to look away.
Sensing Huo Yuhao's stunned gaze, Jiang Nannan's blush deepened. Almost deliberately, she placed her legs across his lap, as if daring him to look closer.
Her pink, jade-like feet hovered just a fist away from Huo Yuhao's lower abdomen.
Perhaps due to her Martial Spirit or regular training, faint muscle lines were visible under the smooth skin, adding an extra layer of sexiness.
Huo Yuhao swallowed, momentarily at a loss.
Wait… I didn't say the data collection required her to undress!
Seeing the tips of her ears glowing red, he felt as if his words were stuck in his throat.
At this point, reminding her would only increase the awkwardness. There was no turning back—he had to continue.
Seeing Huo Yuhao staring at her legs, Jiang Nannan felt both embarrassed and strangely pleased.
"You're here to collect data, right? If you want to see it in the future, just ask me. But now, let's focus on the work…"
Her soft, interrupted voice reached his ears, and her little foot shyly poked him.
Watching her rapidly reddening, flustered expression, Huo Yuhao cleared his throat. He nonchalantly took her foot into his hands and softly said,
"Sister Nannan, let's begin."
"Mhm."
The next day.
Cafeteria.
Sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing Huo Yuhao as he ate breakfast, his gaze unfocused, brow furrowed in worry. Gu Yuena tilted her head, curious.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
He was still dazed from collecting leg data all night, with white, blurry images popping into his head every now and then.
He sighed silently. Who knew what he had experienced last night? To record detailed data, he had even activated the spiritual detection skill, observing every inch of her legs inside and out.
Chewing on some odd egg, Huo Yuhao muttered indistinctly,
"Sometimes life feels so… tough."
It baffled him. No matter who slept in his room, the next morning, they clung to him like an octopus: Gu Yuena, Tang Ya… even Jiang Nannan.
Truly a mystery.
Thinking of Jiang Nannan's excuse this morning, he tugged at his collar and sniffed, frowning.
"I don't smell anything special."
The next moment, Gu Yuena leaned closer, her warm breath brushing his neck. Her ethereal, teasing voice whispered in his ear.
"Not much different from before, but today… I sense a trace of Jiang Nannan's scent."
She glanced at him slyly.
"Didn't sleep well last night, I suppose?"
(You have the nerve to say that?… Xiao Ya and you are the real troublemakers.)
Huo Yuhao stayed silent, glancing at his spiritual sea. Last night, Jiang Nannan had caused a slight surge in his original lust sin; he couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window, exhaling wearily.
A question that he couldn't understand slowly surfaced in his mind:
How can someone cum so fast just from having their foot touched? Too sensitive!
Ma Xiaotao also reacted similarly just because her buttocks were touched, but that was due to the influence of the Evil Fire. But Nannan…
I'm exhausted. Time to destroy this line of thought.
Afternoon.
After lunch, Huo Yuhao and his two companions arrived at the assessment area. Following the morning's group draw, the vast venue was now divided into fifty zones.
To his surprise, his team was once again placed in the same Zone 33 as in his previous life. By the time they arrived, other teams were already present.
Here on this continent, fame mattered. Several teams seemed to recognize Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena as the freshmen who defeated the Outer Academy's twin stars three months ago. Their faces immediately turned pale.
As they whispered and pointed at Huo Yuhao's team, it was clear they planned to throw the match when facing them.
But, of course, there were still some stubborn ones.
Take, for example, Wang Dong'er, with striking long pink-and-blue hair. Seeing Huo Yuhao's team arrive, she froze for a moment, then her eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit as her gaze swept back and forth between Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.
When her gaze met Huo Yuhao's, she raised a small fist in a silent declaration:
"I will not lose to you!"
Huo Yuhao stifled a laugh. Before he could respond, Wang Dong'er's two teammates grabbed her arms and pulled her away.
Apart from Xiao Xiao, the one who took his place in this life was a girl who was also in Class One in his past life; Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered that her martial spirit seemed to be of the agility-type.
