"Ah, well... I'm not really sure. I just walked in without realizing it," Lin Luo said.

Lin Luo knew he had to stay with his classmates as an ordinary boy on this adventure. Only then could he truly understand the girl’s feelings before him.

If he revealed his identity as the God Emperor and his powers in this dangerous other world, countless girls might flock to him for survival or riches. How could he ever know their true feelings? How could he prove his manhood?

"It’s possible Lin Luo landed outside the camp when he crossed over. It’s a miracle he found his way back," Han Lianfei said, stepping forward.

Han Lianfei was tall with a mature, elegant figure. Her mage robes suited her perfectly, like a painting come to life. She was intelligent and gentle too.

"Lin Luo? You seem even prettier now," Han Lianfei remarked, her usually warm gaze now holding a strange glint.

"Huh?"

"Anyway, I’m so glad you’re back safe. The class rep says there are terrifying monsters out there. For girls venturing out, dangers worse than death might await," Han Lianfei said, watching Lin Luo’s face flush inexplicably. Her ample bosom beneath the robe swayed with her increasingly rapid breaths.

"Hold it right there, mage girl. I know exactly where you’re going with this..." Lin Luo felt a sense of foreboding.

"It’s not just girls! Pretty boys might be in even greater danger! Those monsters are so thirsty—they won’t care about anything..." Han Lianfei’s breathing grew more and more rapid as she spoke.

So she said it after all!

"Alright, Feier, stop that. We’re all in danger here. Now that Lin Luo is back, our class five is complete. Let’s discuss what to do next," Lin Yuxun turned to everyone and said.

"Haven’t we beaten this dead horse enough? What can we do? If anyone has a solution, spit it out!" Zhang Dajian plopped down on the ground.

"Well..." Lin Luo was about to offer a reasonable suggestion.

"Shut up! What can a sissy like you say? Get lost!" Jiang Xiang stepped forward and shoved Lin Luo.

Lin Luo complied, stepping back two paces.

Jiang Xiang seemed to have a thing for the class beauty, Han Lianfei. In this other world, he and Zhang Dajian were the strongest physically. He probably wanted to establish his authority. He’d already mentally added beauties like Lin Yuxun and Han Lianfei to his harem. Seeing Lin Luo, who was useless, get attention from two gorgeous girls right after returning, naturally pissed him off. Jiang Xiang was strong and agile, good at basketball. He’d always looked down on guys like Lin Luo.

"Lin Luo, forget it. Don’t mind him," Ziwan said, coming to his side and gently pulling his arm.

"Pah! What’s it to you? Can’t ‘Little Miss Lin’ speak? Isn’t she part of our class?" Zhang Dajian spat, glaring defiantly at Jiang Xiang.

"‘Little Miss Lin’?" Lin Luo’s face darkened. He felt like dealing with this delinquent first, more than Jiang Xiang.

"Damn it! I’ve had enough of you! Wanna fight?" Jiang Xiang charged at Zhang Dajian like a bull.

Zhang Dajian sprang up like a tiger.

"Stop it, both of you!" Lin Yuxun shouted loudly. "Are you really that tough? Why didn’t you charge at the Leviathan when it flew by? Do you even grasp the situation?"

"Tch! Spare me the righteous act, Class Rep Lin. If you have a plan, let’s hear it," Jiang Xiang retorted. He didn’t want to provoke Lin Yuxun yet—doing so might turn the whole class against him, except his few basketball buddies, including Zhang Dajian’s gang. Last time, Lin Yuxun had been stumped by this question. This time, she wouldn’t be caught off guard.

"Fine. Since you insist, I’ll share my proposal," You Xun said.

What did those basketball jocks know? Miss Lin understood this other world far better than they ever could.

"Currently, the camp is safe as long as we avoid terrifying beings like the Leviathan. The problem is, we only have dilapidated houses and tents here—no water or food. So, despite the dangers outside, we must form teams to scout for water and food sources," Lin Yuxun explained calmly, her rosy face serious and earnest, her words logical and clear.

"Hmm... No wonder she’s the class rep. Her suggestion is almost the same as mine, this God Emperor’s," Lin Luo thought inwardly. Though he possessed the power of the God Emperor, he’d only been in the Star Island Sea for a few months and knew almost nothing about it. The little he knew from the Starlight Temple was useless here.

*Clap, clap, clap.* Jiang Xiang clapped his big hands. At 1.9 meters tall, he came from a wealthy family and could palm a basketball. His past extortion of Lin Luo was pure bullying. "Well said, Miss Lin. But here’s the question: who gets sent out to die?"

"Jiang Xiang, what kind of talk is that? ‘Sent to die’? It’s dangerous out there, but you shouldn’t curse those who go!" Han Lianfei couldn’t take it anymore and shouted back.

"Heh, fine then. You go?" Jiang Xiang tilted his head, challenging her. "If you go, big brother will accompany you. How about it?"

"I... I’ll go! I don’t need your company!"

Lin Luo sighed inwardly. This Han Lianfei, usually so delicate in class, actually had some backbone. "Hmm, I’ll find a way to teach her some magic later..." he nodded to himself.

Knowing arguing with Jiang Xiang was pointless, Lin Yuxun stepped forward beside Lianfei. "I’ll go too."

Many classmates looked at them in surprise. Facing such great danger, the first to step up were two pampered girls.

Lin Yuxun looked at everyone. "Jiang Xiang has a point. Going out is extremely dangerous. So? Are there any boys willing to step up? Or will you just watch Feier and me, two girls, go alone?"

Jiang Xiang pretended not to hear. *Send me to die? I’m not stupid.*

"I’ll go! If I don’t step up now, what kind of big shot in Shanghai would I be?" Zhang Dajian jumped up. Seeing no reaction from others, he forcibly dragged a few boys along. "I know you want to go, you’re just too shy to say it, right?" he said, locking an arm around a bespectacled boy’s neck.

"Ah?" The glasses-wearing boy turned pale.

Like this, half-threateningly, he dragged two more boys along. It seemed they had some people now. The whole class had thirty-nine students.

"Any other volunteers?" Lin Yuxun looked around. Everyone stayed silent. Why go if you could avoid it? Even Jiang Xiang, so tough, didn’t jump at it. What good was being tough against monsters?

Then, from the crowd, a slender, handsome boy walked out, hands in his pockets, and silently stood beside Lin Yuxun.

The whole class stared at him in disbelief.

"Lin Luo?" You Xun was completely taken aback.
