Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Primal Treasure Template Adjuster, Yunbing's Fiery Gaze!
Nangong Qitao and his wife were stunned. Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi's Two-Tailed White Fox, along with Xiao Ye and Nangong Siyao's Golden Dragon, both achieved full marks, tying for the top spot in the national exam.
This meant Mangyuan Base City produced two national top scorers this year! Even more astonishing, Mangyuan Base City's overall exam results ranked ninth nationwide? Nangong Qitao felt it was surreal and said, "Wife, pinch me; are we dreaming?"
His wife, Zhang Rou, rolled her eyes and pinched him hard on the waist.
"Ow!" Nangong Qitao gasped in pain, cold sweat breaking out, and exclaimed in disbelief, "It's really ninth nationwide!"
"Hahaha!" The city lord was overjoyed; this was the happiest he'd been in ten years.
For ten years, Mangyuan Base City had been ranked last among all base cities nationwide, bringing him endless frustration as city lord. This year, they weren't last; they were ninth!
The alluring Yunbing, who had jumped to her feet, widened her beautiful eyes, deeply shocked.
She had expected Xiao Ye and the others to be top scorers, but Mangyuan Base City's overall exam results entering the top nine nationwide was beyond her expectations.
It's important to note that Long Nation had ten super base cities, and historically, the top ten overall results were always claimed by these super base cities.
The high school students of these super base cities were not comparable to Mangyuan Base City, yet Mangyuan Base City took ninth place!
This meant that this lower-tier base city had surpassed a super base city's overall performance!
This was truly shocking.
"Ring, ring, ring!" The large communicator hidden in Yunbing's bosom rang. She took it out and answered, "Diamond Supreme, spit it out."
A deep male voice on the other end said, "Kunpeng elder sister! You've struck gold."
"Gold? What gold?"
Diamond Supreme joyfully explained, "Did you know the base city you're protecting ranked ninth? I'll tell you why."
"For a lower-tier base city to take ninth place, do you think it's possible? Impossible. Ninth place was entirely due to those two top scorers raising the average, boosting the overall score!"
It's like averaging the assets of an ordinary person and a billionaire; after averaging, that ordinary person is a billionaire too.
"Really?" Yunbing found it hard to believe.
Diamond Supreme assured, "Truer than true gold! These two top scorers are more extraordinary than any in the past few centuries."
He then urged, "Kunpeng elder sister, you must bring these two top scorers to our Magic City colleges, even if it means some sacrifices."
The alluring Yunbing frowned, "How? If they apply to other super universities, I can't stop them."
Diamond Supreme suggested, "Target the dual contractor Xiao Ye. Get him, and the two top scorers are ours!"
Yunbing was speechless, "You think I didn't consider that? The problem is how to get him!"
Diamond Supreme proposed, "Give him whatever young people like, and our Magic City exam department will reimburse you!"
"Or use your charm to seduce Xiao Ye. With your looks, it's a sure thing!"
Yunbing's beautiful eyes widened in anger, "What lousy ideas, get lost!"
"Alright! But Kunpeng elder sister, you must secure him, or when other top university recruiters arrive, you'll be in trouble!" Diamond Supreme reminded her before hanging up.
Offering gifts or using charm to entice? Yunbing had her answer and decided to find an opportunity to act.
Next to her, Nangong Siyao, seeing her father smiling like a flower, felt deeply happy. Seeing her father's perpetually furrowed brows finally relax was more joyful than being a top scorer herself.
While Nangong Siyao focused on her father, Cheng Bingxi leaned close to Xiao Ye and whispered:
"Husband Xiao Ye, we got the top scorer this time. Will you reward me?"
Xiao Ye feigned ignorance, "What reward?"
Cheng Bingxi pouted, "Oh, you know what!"
"What?" Xiao Ye nearly lost his composure at her coquettish voice.
Cheng Bingxi blushed, "I'll let you eat fruit!"
Xiao Ye almost stumbled, shaking his head vigorously, "No, I won't."
Cheng Bingxi's face turned stern, "No, this is a reward. You have to eat it, whether you want to or not!"
"This was what you promised during the exam!"
"Alright." Faced with Cheng Bingxi's strong demand, Xiao Ye reluctantly agreed.
Nangong Siyao, noticing Cheng Bingxi moving away, tilted her head and saw Cheng Bingxi whispering with a flushed face to Xiao Ye, angered, she lunged at them, playfully accusing:
"Hey, you're whispering secrets without me. Were you snacking behind my back?"
Cheng Bingxi blushed, staying silent, while Xiao Ye shook his head firmly, denying, "No, absolutely not!"
Nangong Siyao's exquisite face was full of suspicion. She hadn't mentioned snacking—how did he know what she was talking about? Such a firm denial.
Intrigued, she asked, "Really, Ice Xie?"
Cheng Bingxi's beautiful eyes darted, unable to lie, her face showing guilt, "No."
Knowing Cheng Bingxi's nature, Nangong Siyao saw through her, "Ice Xie, you're lying."
Xiao Ye internally panicked. Since a certain switch was flipped, Nangong Siyao had lost her restraint, becoming insatiable, clinging to him daily.
This brought him both pain and joy!
But even an iron bull would tire. Xiao Ye inwardly lamented his plight.

Suddenly, Xiao Ye felt a fiery gaze on him. Looking up, it wasn't Nangong Siyao or Cheng Bingxi but the alluring Yunbing, known as Kunpeng Supreme.
"!!!"
Seeing the owner of that fiery gaze, Xiao Ye was shocked.
Yunbing's expression was so seductive!
