Chapter 557: Chapter 340: Tianya Academy’s Proactive Additional Contract; A Visit from Instructor Li Qiongtian and Lu Mei
What’s more, Lu Mei had even put on some light makeup.
The corners of her eyes were darkened, a faint blush was on her cheeks, and her lips were a vibrant, cherry red.
This whole outfit made her look like a completely different person from the valiant and formidable female commander of the Sunbird Clan Army whom Zhang Yi had gotten to know in the Inner Earth World.
She had lost some of her sharp edge, replaced by an abundance of gentle charm.
However, this was actually the same Lu Mei that Zhang Yi had first met upon entering the University Alliance Training Camp.
But even this new outfit couldn’t completely hide the pride and fire in her very bones.
"Aren’t you going to invite me in?"
Lu Mei tilted her head, a sweet smile gracing her lips.
Zhang Yi stepped aside.
"Please, come in."
Lu Mei walked into the room.
As she moved, the hem of her dress traced a graceful arc through the air.
Once inside, Lu Mei did a spin, her dress fanning out like a blooming flower.
Its layers were like the petals of a rose.
"Well? Does it look nice?"
Lu Mei asked with a smile, looking at Zhang Yi.
"It’s beautiful," Zhang Yi answered honestly.
"It suits you perfectly."
He was being completely sincere when he said it.
"I wore it just for you!"
After her spin and her declaration, Lu Mei sat down on the sofa.
She pressed her knees together, smoothed down her dress, and perched gracefully on the edge of the sofa cushion.
"We say goodbye tomorrow. I couldn’t very well see you wearing the combat uniform from the University Alliance Training Camp, could I?"
Seeing Lu Mei sit down, Zhang Yi went to the fridge to get them something to drink, then returned.
Having spent so much time with Lu Mei in the Inner Earth World, they had grown much closer. It was true that their days were spent commanding their Clans in battle, but they were far more familiar with each other now than before.
Not to mention, Zhang Yi and Lu Mei were in the throes of new love, so of course they had become even more intimate.
What Zhang Yi had grabbed from the fridge was grape juice.
Lu Mei preferred grape juice to red wine.
Zhang Yi then got a bottle of mineral water for himself.
When drinks from the Gourmet World were unavailable, Zhang Yi preferred mineral water.
For the cadets like Zhang Yi from the Yanhuang Federation who were temporarily residing in the War Fortress, the University Alliance Training Camp treated them very well.
The refrigerators were stocked with almost every kind of drink.
It was just that delicacies from the Gourmet World were too precious.
So precious, in fact, that Zhang Yi and the other cadets from the Yanhuang Federation had only tasted them once, aboard the Xuanwu-lll Integrated Warship.
Zhang Yi sat down across from Lu Mei.
He handed the juice to her.
"What are your plans after we return to the Yanhuang Federation and go back to Donghuang Province?"
Zhang Yi asked.
"First, I’ll deal with some family matters."
Lu Mei took the juice, her fingertips unconsciously brushing across the back of Zhang Yi’s hand.
"Being promoted to Sergeant, combined with my performance in the third-round tournament at the University Alliance Training Camp, should significantly raise my importance within the clan."
"The Old Ancestor will probably have to reassess my value now, too!"
Lu Mei said it casually.
But Zhang Yi could clearly hear the profound implications behind her words.
Not all Divine Clans were like Zhang Yi’s, with only a few members.
In a True God Clan like Lu Mei’s, it was considered normal for the Old Ancestor to have several hundred direct descendants.
The internal struggles and distribution of resources within a Divine Clan were never a simple matter.
"And you?"
Lu Mei asked in return.
"Once you’re back in Golden City, you’ll probably get ready to make your breakthrough to True God, won’t you?"
"Yeah."
Zhang Yi nodded.
"Once I’m back in Golden City, my preparations will be more or less complete."
"I plan to attempt to ignite my Divine Fire and ascend to True God before I enroll in Tianya Academy."
"Once you ascend to True God, even a place like Tianya Academy will have to take a genius like you very seriously!"
"It’s overflowing with geniuses and packed with beauties."
"You might even run into the daughters of tycoons or the scions of Powerful Divine Beings who are there to further their studies."
Lu Mei’s tone was casual, but Zhang Yi detected a peculiar undercurrent to her words.
