When Zhang Lisheng heard the girl describing him as a miserable man, he said with a noncommittal smile, “Anyway, Senior Sister, I'm alright! I'll be fine after resting for a while. You can go get busy with your things now!”

“We're from the same hometown, so how can I leave you alone when your face is as white as a wallpaper?” Guo Caiying hesitated for a moment and shook her head, appearing to be very righteous as she said, “Or how about you follow me back to my dormitory and rest there? It's Saturday today anyway, and I would change the sheets.”

“You would change the sheets? You're not afraid of me dirtying it? Thank you very much then!” Zhang Lisheng was dumbstruck for a moment. Then, with a wry smile, he said, “But it's really fine. I have a house in Silicon Valley. I can go back there to rest when the school bus arrives.”

“Look at your unkempt and rugged look! I really can't tell that you're actually a 'blue stock' that can afford to eat out in a Michelin restaurant and living in those costly house in Silicon Valley!” Guo Caiying looked at the sports watch on her wrist and calculated for a moment, before patting on the backseat of her bicycle, “The school bus is scheduled to come once every 30 minutes during a weekend. You still must wait at least twenty minutes. Silicon Valley is not far away so hop on, I'll take you there.”

“Don't kid me, Senior Sister. I don't live in the Silicon Valley's technology park…”

“I know, but I'm the holder of the Stanford Women's Triathlon Athletics record-holder. It doesn't matter if it is far away,” Guo Caiying said with a smile. “Hop on, I will take you there.”

“It's not that nice, Senior Sister! I'll just wait for the school bus…”

“You're a man! A manly man! So why are you acting so coy in doing things? It feels like I'm begging you, you know!” Guo Caiying frowned unsatisfactorily. “I'm a girl and I don't even mind. Since we're all fellow countrymen, it's just right for us to help each other mutually! C'mon, hop on!”

Zhang Lisheng was not afraid of others having malicious means towards him, but what he was most afraid of was people being eager to help and care about him, particularly when he was trying his best to not stand out in the university. Looking at the wide-eyed girl, his mouth opened and closed helplessly but only a sigh came out. Then, awkwardly, he sat in the back seat of the bicycle, “Thank you, Senior Sister. Go to Kmart One then.”

“Kmart One? This name is so weird…” The girl threw her black hair behind and opened the navigation software on her mobile phone. After entering the address that Zhang Lisheng mentioned and looking at it, she stepped on the pedals and began picking up her speed slowly along the flat campus avenue. “Your house is only 21 kilometers away from mine! It'd take at least one hour by bus, but I only need 45 minutes in total!”

“21 kilometers? 45 minutes? You must be joking, right, Senior Sister? Oh, the hell…” Zhang Lisheng started to feel the speed of the bicycle getting faster as it started to sway even more violently. He grabbed the back seat and said, “I-Is it okay to ride this fast?”

“A professional road racer can maintain an average speed of over 50 miles in a distance of 200 kilometers, so 45 minutes in 20 kilometers is nothing!”

“But you're not a professional road racer! Not mentioning the fact that you're carrying me in the back seat…”

“I want to challenge my limit,” Guo Caiying shouted loudly on the bicycle while the sun hung harshly over her head. “Hold on tight, Junior Brother! I'll continue to speed up.”

“I don't think you will send me home to rest but are actually using me as a 'tool' instead!” Upon hearing the girl's words, Zhang Lisheng whispered, but let go of his hands that were holding onto the back seat of the bicycle. Even though he felt unwell, it was easy for him to maintain his balance on a speeding bicycle after getting used to it.

The human psyche was so strange. Guo Caiying was passionate and extroverted, but when an opposite sex tried to use her enthusiasm to get close to her, unless that person was so outstanding in all aspects that it could win over her favor, she would feel disgusted instead.

However, when a guy like Zhang Lisheng who was a polite, respectful, and isolated man would come across her enthusiasm and reject her, she would feel that this guy was too introverted.

Just now, Guo Caiying was worried that the skinny Junior Brother who had an undistinguished appearance behind her would use the opportunity of sitting on the bicycle to start running his hands wild, but now that she saw him sitting in the back seat without saying a word, and that he looked as though he was leaning backward a little, she said instead, “Junior Brother, are you a nerd who has never been exposed to a girl before? Why are you stiffer than a stone sitting on a girl's bicycle? I thought you feel dizzy and want to rest? I'm very kind today, so I can lend you my waist for you to hug…”

“You don't have to be so kind-hearted, Senior Sister!” When Zhang Lisheng heard it, he immediately interrupted the girl's words and said, “I've practiced kung fu before, and I can maintain a balance when there's a turbulence on the flight. It's completely fine!”

“Kung fu? You really have practiced kung fu before with that thin body of yours?” Guo Caiying was stunned before chuckling. “Can you tell me what kind of kung fu you practiced? It just so happens that I also want to learn some fighting skills, so I'll rule out the kung fu that you've practiced!”

“I practiced the Shape-Will Fist! Those kinds of boxing techniques are too violent, so it's really not suitable for girls. Senior Sister, the weather is freezing, but you still ride so fast. If you keep opening your mouth, you'll swallow too much cold wind and it's not good for your body, especially when you're doing strenuous exercise. ”

“It doesn't matter; I'm in good health!” The girl shook her head and suddenly realized something. She swallowed and then said fiercely, “Junior Brother! Are you trying to shut me up?”

“How is that possible? You love talking so much.” Zhang Lisheng said with an ambiguous smile.

“Don't be so eccentric, boy!” Guo Caiying waved her fist without turning her head around, but she did indeed cut down her words.

Just like this, as both of them chatted idly with each other, they coursed through the Stanford campus and got on the bicycle lane on the main road.

After riding for a while in the shade of the leaves under the trees, they finally came to an un-fenced open luxurious villa close to the main road at the foot of the green hills that had its back facing a mighty big lake.

Even though they said it was open, besides coursing in between two beautiful flower beds, one would have to pass through a rough stone path to enter the villa from the mountain road.

At the beginning of the stone road, two statues of miniature plants and animals, covered with many colorful flowers, seem to remind the passing pedestrians at least that the 1,000-square-meter spire French country house was a private place where idlers cannot enter.

The two beige rock flower pots made from all sorts of miniature plants and animals, blooming with numerous colorful flowers erected at the beginning of the stone road seemed to be constantly reminding the passing pedestrians that the spired French country villa occupying at least 1,000 square meters was a private place where idlers could not enter.

“Junior Brother, t-this is your house?” Even though Guo Caiying had an extremely extraordinary background, she could not help but be very stunned when she saw this manor-style villa that was too different from her imagination.

“It should be. They forced me to live in school after I bought it, so I've never been here before!” It was obvious that it was only Zhang Lisheng who would stay here, but Maddie actually prepared a villa that seemed to be able to have all the Stanford students stuffed in for him, causing him to be somewhat baffled too.

However, when he recalled the harsh demands he used on the house before he entered the university, thinking about how he might have to spend a long time in the university, he relaxed and smiled. “Let's go in, Senior Sister! There should be some helpers inside such a big house! Let us go ask and see!”

Then, he walked into the villa along the stone road.

At the end of the stone road, in the corner of the fountain in front of the door of the villa, there were indeed two middle-aged women, wearing a traditional American black dress with a white apron who were busy chatting with the gardeners.

“Young people, are you two looking for water to drink…” When they saw the boy and the girl who looked like students pushing their bicycle towards them, one woman immediately greeted with enthusiasm. However, when she was talking halfway, she suddenly recognized the male student's face that she always saw on the photo. With a hard swallow, she could not help but exclaim, “Oh dear lord! You must be Mr. Lisheng Zhang, right? Yes! You must be him! I can recognize that face very well! You're finally here, I, I am going to call Butler Torres…”

“Even when I've come, there's no need to be so surprised, right, madam?” Zhang Lisheng shrugged. “And you should also be able to see that what I need most now is not Butler Torres but a hot bath and a comfortable big bed.”

“Yes, yes, please come with me.” The woman froze for a moment before nodding and pushing the door of the villa.

“Senior Sister, I feel really unwell, so I don't have the strength to entertain you. Please treat this place as your own, feel free to take a look around…”

“It's okay, Junior Brother! The reason I sent you home is for you to rest properly, anyway. Are you sure you really don't need to see a doctor?”

“Yes! I often feel this way, so I'll naturally be okay after taking a rest. Madam, please take care of my guest well!” Zhang Lisheng put on a great entrepreneur aura and ordered another servant standing by the fountain before waving his hand at Guo Caiying. “Senior Sister, I will take my rest now. If you have time, please stay here for dinner! Thank you very much today.”

“You weren't so polite on the road just now!” The girl said with a smile.

The young man laughed and said nothing more. With a horridly pale face, he followed the first helper and walked to the villa's master bedroom.

The main bedroom was close to the lakeshore. After taking away the huge bathroom and cloakroom, the area was still over 100 square meters. There were few furniture in the room and the layout was simple and bright.

After entering the bedroom, Zhang Lisheng immediately locked the door. Although he knew that the window must be a single-sided reflective bulletproof glass that could only be seen through from the inside, she still carefully pulled all the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows. This time, he undressed all of his clothes and commanded the wyrmdragon to restore its long body to appear in front of himself.

When everything was ready, it was time to make the transformation and breakthrough. Looking at the dragon wizard gu in front of him, the young man suddenly felt a bit of reluctance. This reluctance was not because he cherished the Crocodragon, this tool of Witchcraft's Gate of Death, but instead, it was because of the impressive power it brought to himself.

A witch cultivation seemed to be cruel and peculiar and had nothing to do with one's mind and character, but actually, the difficulty of tempering the heart was presented everywhere.

For example, after Zhang Lisheng had incarnated the wyrmdragon, even if he tried to break through the Rank-8 Wizard, the power gain was actually not as great as the loss of the wizard gu.

If one would simply add and subtract the comprehensive combat power, it would be a great loss, but when one carefully thought about it, they would realize that he was actually enhancing his own strength, while breaking away from foreign aid.
