The next morning there was a large lecture, which meant Lin Nan would meet with Lina again.
Ever since Lina learned that Lin Nan wasn't actually Lilith, her interest in him had diminished considerably. Whereas before she would monitor Lin Nan almost constantly whenever she had nothing else to do, now she only glanced at his changes when she remembered to.
Meeting again, Lina noticed that the magical scent on Lin Nan had become even more intense.
That milky fragrance.
She inconspicuously sat with her roommate in the row of seats behind Lin Nan, observing his changes.
His figure seemed to have become more slender, which meant his bone structure must have already begun significant feminization.
However, bone feminization could only be advanced through magic. Even though Lin Nan's interior had become completely female, hormones still couldn't affect bones that had already finished developing.
Lin Nan hadn't yet noticed Lina entering through the back door of the classroom. He was yawning and resting his chin on his hand, waiting for the teacher on stage to take attendance.
He had now become well-known throughout the class. Previously, classmates might have only occasionally glanced at him, surprised that he had become a bit prettier, but the recent gaming competition had made him stand out tremendously, suddenly making him a famous figure on campus.
And now when classmates looked back at him, they realized this wasn't just "a bit prettier"–he could already be considered one of the top beauties in the entire department, with a face that gave off first-love vibes that no one could refuse, plus that alluring charm in his every gesture.
Simply incredible.
Lin Nan had never realized he had taken on some of Lilith's temperament. At this moment he was still resting his chin on his hand, staring blankly into space.
"Want to play King of Glory?" The teacher hadn't arrived yet, and after sitting for five minutes Chen Yao was already restless, asking with bloodshot eyes.
This guy had said he would only play one round of Civilization yesterday, but when Lin Nan woke up the next day he saw him still fighting at the computer. Apparently if given another day and night, that one game would be about finished. (TN: Civ moment.)
Although Lin Nan was interested in strategy games, seeing Chen Yao's haggard appearance that looked like he might drop dead any moment made him shudder. He felt it was better to stick with League of Legends - at least with thirty-minute matches he probably wouldn't die so easily.
"Aren't you going to sleep for a bit?" Lin Nan asked with concern. "You don't look well."
"It's fine, I'm young and strong–I can go two days without any problem!" Chen Yao flexed his muscles, showing off his biceps. "Look at these cannons!"
Lin Nan glanced at his muscles and though he felt envious, still pursed his lips and said, "Disgusting, muscle men are the most disgusting."
"You're probably thinking of bodybuilders, right?" Chen Yao's mouth twitched as he began considering whether to stay indoors more often.
He was actually being despised by Lin Nan...
This was an emotion Lin Nan had never shown since they'd known each other since middle school. Back when he'd spent all his money on games and was broke, Lin Nan had even shared his last fifty yuan with him, and even then Lin Nan hadn't despised him like this.
He sighed in despair and glanced at Lin Nan, who was currently acting like a big man with his legs spread apart, couldn't help but mock: "When you spread your legs like that, you look neither male nor female."
"Really?"
Lin Nan was startled and quickly spread his legs even wider: "Am I more manly now?"
"..."
Chen Yao didn't quite understand Lin Nan's current thought process. He felt Lin Nan might have actually hit his head while spending time with his parents a few days ago.
"You'd be more manly if you cut your hair," Chen Yao sighed.
"That makes sense!"
Lin Nan's eyes lit up.
Anyway, he hadn't been growing his hair for long. He could trim it, and if he turned into a girl later he could just wear a wig. Plus he had magic - Lilith definitely knew magic for changing hair length and style. The only question was whether the unlock conditions would be harsh.
"You're not really thinking of cutting your hair short, are you?" Chen Yao sighed helplessly. "Did you really hit your head these past few days?"
"I just want to become..." Lin Nan lowered his voice, afraid of being overheard by outsiders, and leaned closer to continue, "Before I become a girl, I definitely need to be a proper man at least once!"
"That does make sense." Chen Yao understood Lin Nan's thinking.
However, Tu Junhui somehow heard the second half of the sentence and quickly leaned over: "What? Be a man once?!
"How about I take you to get laid? The White Cloud District was recently shut down, but we could find a taxi driver to ask around?"
"..."
Lin Nan helplessly glanced at him, then silently rolled his eyes.
He could now hold his eye-rolling until he looked down, otherwise it would inexplicably be mistaken for flirting, leading to endless teasing.
Tu Junhui noticed no one was paying attention to him and unhappily pulled his head back.
Lin Nan thought this guy's previous claim about not being a virgin might actually be true–he might really have visited prostitutes.
Lin Nan had originally found prostitution incomprehensible, but after spending more time online, he discovered some people actually thought it was perfectly natural.
Though Tu Junhui's comment was probably just a joke.
After attendance was taken, Lin Nan was about to play mobile games with Chen Yao and the others when he suddenly felt someone poking his shoulder.
Looking back, he realized Lina was sitting right behind him.
This made his eyes light up. Lin Nan had actually been planning to find Lina to learn about some things, but he wasn't shameless enough to disguise himself as a girl and go alone to the girls' dormitory.
Not having seen her for a while, Lina seemed to have gotten familiar with this school and no longer had that quality that made her seem out of place among modern college students.
Lina put her head down on the desk, and Lin Nan somehow suddenly heard her voice in his mind.
"Haven't seen you in a few days and you've gotten prettier~"
Lin Nan looked back at her, completely confused.
"You used magic again, didn't you? You're becoming more and more like Lilith."
Lin Nan had seen Lilith's appearance in memories, so he naturally knew that his current looks were probably based on himself as a template, with Lilith's details added.
Roughly speaking, although his eyebrows and facial features still seemed the same as before, there had actually been some subtle changes that made him somewhat resemble Lilith.
"How many more times do I need to use magic to become a woman?"
Lin Nan asked in his mind, and sure enough Lina 'heard' his words. After thinking for a moment, she gave a somewhat irrelevant answer: "Based on your current state, probably three to five times?
"But by then Lilith might also revive and take over your body..." Lina pondered for a moment, then continued, "Sleep with me for one night, and I'll help you solve it."
Lin Nan's face darkened.
What? Even the other world had the custom of sleeping together to get things done?
He refused without hesitation: "No way!"
But thinking about it more carefully, it didn't seem like such a bad deal?
He looked back at Lina, whose eyes seemed to be glowing with a predatory light, immediately shivered, and began shaking his head vigorously again.
"No room for negotiation?"
"None!"
