"Number of formation arrays reduced by 20%, energy consumption reduced by 50%, energy-gathering efficiency increased by 20%, production difficulty lowered by 70%..."
"T-this…"
Xian Lin'er held the Level 1 Energy-Gathering Core Formation in her hand, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
In fact, every Soul Engineer had attempted to improve core formations of soul tools before, but the results had always been unsatisfactory. Even the lowest-level Level 1 core formation contained more than 200 basic formations. To find the optimal ordering method was purely a matter of luck. If one were to test them one by one, even after experimenting for several hundred years, it still wouldn't be finished.
When designing an entirely new core formation, one could at most try two or three arrangements, then choose the best one.
But Bai Zhou had actually found the most perfect arrangement among countless core formation permutations. And this absolutely could not be achieved through luck—Bai Zhou had clearly researched it himself.
"Xiao Bai, you really are a genius. Teacher truly didn't misjudge you!!"
At this moment, Xian Lin'er was so excited she couldn't contain it. She rushed forward and grabbed Bai Zhou into her embrace, squeezing him forcefully.
"It's all because Teacher taught me well~"
Bai Zhou sniffed softly and spoke in a muffled voice.
Right now, Bai Zhou was extremely shocked, because Xian Lin'er usually wore loose clothing, not appearing that stunning. But now, with his face pressed against her… with his body personally "experiencing"… he could clearly feel—
Xian Lin'er's "assets" were in no way inferior to Ma Xiaotao's!
And the scent on Xian Lin'er was completely different from Ma Xiaotao's.
Ma Xiaotao was a seductive, fiery, intoxicating mature big-sister type.
Xian Lin'er, however, was a gentle, mature, caring, and noble young woman.
"You really didn't disappoint Teacher. Work hard—whatever you need, Teacher will support you."
Xian Lin'er had no intention of coveting Bai Zhou's techniques or methods. Instead, she gave him encouragement and full support.
Because she believed in Bai Zhou. If he really encountered a problem, he would definitely ask her.
Since he didn't ask, that meant everything was going smoothly.
Xian Lin'er believed Bai Zhou would bring her an enormous surprise.
"Okay."
Bai Zhou nodded, extremely satisfied with this teacher as well.
Even though her title was War God Douluo, and she seemed domineering when she was young…
Toward her own student, she was genuinely gentle and considerate. Bai Zhou even suspected Xian Lin'er was treating him like her own son…
Things were getting stranger…
At noon, after Bai Zhou finished eating, he returned to the laboratory intending to continue working.
"Xiao Bai, take a break. You don't need to push yourself so hard. With your talent, becoming a Level 2 Soul Engineer within a month shouldn't be a problem."
Xian Lin'er's voice suddenly came from the side.
Bai Zhou turned and saw Xian Lin'er reclining on her seat.
Her seat could fully recline into a lounge chair. Xian Lin'er's graceful body lay half-reclined, her long legs wrapped in sheer stockings slightly crossed, resting on the metal round table in front. One high heel was half slipped off, dangling lazily.
"Teacher, it's fine. I'm not used to taking afternoon naps." Bai Zhou glanced over, then quickly looked away, smiling politely.
"That won't do. You are my best student. If you get tired out, that wouldn't be acceptable. If you really have nothing to do, then come help your Teacher massage her feet."
Xian Lin'er suddenly wanted to tease him, hooking a finger at Bai Zhou with a playful smile.
"Uh… okay…"
Bai Zhou froze for a second, then quickly responded and walked over.
Xian Lin'er didn't hold back—she gently kicked off her high heel and placed her silk-wrapped jade foot into Bai Zhou's hands.
"Ah…"
Feeling the warm little foot in his hands, Bai Zhou completely failed to understand what Xian Lin'er was trying to do.
"What? Do you dislike Teacher's feet smelling bad?" Xian Lin'er raised an eyebrow, pretending to be displeased.
"N-no, no! Teacher's feet must smell nice…"
Bai Zhou waved his hands quickly with an awkward smile, then sat down. He gently placed Xian Lin'er's jade foot on his lap and began massaging softly.
A Soul Master's body was different from ordinary people. Especially regarding body odor—Soul Masters produced dirt at less than one-hundredth the rate of normal people.
As for someone at Xian Lin'er's level, she had long achieved a state of dustless purity. Not only was there no foot odor, there was even a faint fragrance—of course, mixed with a hint of leather from her shoes.
"Smooth talker…" Xian Lin'er's cheeks flushed slightly as she softly scolded him, then said no more.
…
Bai Zhou quickly calmed down, gently massaging Xian Lin'er's little foot wrapped in ultra-thin stockings. These stockings were extremely high-end—ultra-thin, ultra-sheer, and unbelievably smooth to the touch.
Through the thin layer, he could clearly see Xian Lin'er's fair foot—smooth skin on the instep, soft and springy soles with not a trace of dead skin, like a child's little foot.
As Bai Zhou kneaded her soft, tender sole, squeezed each pink toe, and gently pressed along her calf, his gaze unconsciously drifted along her leg… upward… all the way to the base of her thigh—
Hmm. The angle wasn't enough; he couldn't see.
Bai Zhou quickly retracted his gaze, but his mind had already become messy. He had a faint urge to lift his head…
He shifted Xian Lin'er's foot outward a bit to avoid certain awkwardness. He couldn't help it…
Of course, Xian Lin'er, being a Titled Douluo, was extremely perceptive. Even through his pants, she clearly sensed Bai Zhou's… reaction.
"This little rascal… he's actually reacting to my feet…" Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Xian Lin'er's face grew hot.
But she didn't withdraw her foot. For some strange reason, teasing Bai Zhou gave her a faint, unfamiliar flutter in her heart…
A feeling she hadn't experienced in many, many years—the last time was back in her student days…
Surrounded by lively, youthful classmates… full of energy… full of curiosity about the opposite sex… just like Bai Zhou now…
Of course, Xian Lin'er could also tell Bai Zhou was simply being lustful. But all young boys were like this. Some showed it, some suppressed it.
When Yan Shaozhe was young, he too had pretended to be a gentleman and reserved. Later, he revealed his true nature.
Xian Lin'er hadn't adapted well to Yan Shaozhe's sudden change, so she never let him succeed…
But she never expected that Cai Meier, that sly vixen, would steal him at exactly that moment, taking advantage of Yan Shaozhe's rising desire…
Xian Lin'er had been furious—extremely furious.
And afterward… she regretted it—deeply regretted it.
Years later, she came to realize her mistake. Her only error was being too reserved…
Now, seeing Bai Zhou—so young, so openly reactive—she couldn't help remembering the youth she had missed, thinking it amusing, and decided to tease him a little.
…
"Teacher… my hands are getting tired…"
Bai Zhou felt he couldn't endure much more and finally spoke.
"Mhm… your technique is quite good. You must be tired now. Go rest for a bit. Continue studying this afternoon."
Xian Lin'er's cheeks still carried a faint blush as she instructed him gently. She had to admit—Bai Zhou had potential as a masseur. His technique was excellent.
Of course, her true intention wasn't to have him massage her feet, nor merely to tease him. She simply wanted to give him an excuse to rest.
Yes. That was all.
"Okay~"
Bai Zhou let out a breath of relief, gently put down Xian Lin'er's jade foot, quickly turned around, and then stood up and escaped immediately.
"This little guy… so he can get shy~"
Xian Lin'er watched his departing figure, her lips curling slightly with an inexplicable smile.
