It wasn't long before a light, nimble voice came from the dormitory.
"It's here, auntie."
Click!
As the dormitory door opened, a fair figure peered out from behind it.
The girl's skin was like white jade, her features delicate, lips full and red, dressed in a practical practice suit, her cheeks flushed with a touch of red, and some sweat still lingering on her forehead, evidently engaged in cultivating the Guidance Technique.
Locking eyes with the girl's clear, sparkling gaze, the dormitory supervisor instinctively cleared her throat and asked:
"You're Shen Youran? This is your parcel, sent over from Baita City."
Shen Youran's eyes flickered and landed on the not too big, not too small parcel, but she still softly accepted it.
"Thank you, auntie."
...
Once the dormitory supervisor was gone, several sprightly footsteps soon followed from the room.
A few girls with equally delicate features gathered around Shen Youran with giggle, their gazes occasionally sweeping over the parcel.
"Who is the admirer this time? Sent from Baita City again, could it be some alumnus who has already graduated?"
Hearing her roommates' teasing, Shen Youran gave them a glare.
"You guys..."
But the girls weren't dissuaded by her response. Seeing that she was acting differently from before, not just putting the parcel aside to return it unopened after a few days, but instead placing it carefully on the desk under her bed, a carefulness apparent in her eyes.
"Ran Ran, you're acting strange, let us have a look!!"
Saying this, three girls, also dressed in tight-fitting cultivation suits that perfectly displayed their shapely figures, crowded closer again, their eyes constantly scanning the parcel on the desk.
"Chi, ouch, Ran Ran, who is this 'Chi'? Leaving just a surname, seems kind of emo, huh!"
"Don't talk nonsense, where's it emo? It might just be our Ran Ran's 'Brother Chi'."
"Giggle giggle giggle..."
...
Seeing the depth in Shen Youran's gaze as she looked at them, the three girls finally stopped their increasingly unrestrained laughter.
"Alright, alright, we'll stop teasing you. But Ran Ran, today you must tell us sisters about this 'Brother Chi,' or we won't let it go."
After some playful banter, seeing that Shen Youran still didn't open her mouth, the three girls grew serious, understanding that their sister truly didn't want them gossiping about this, and they also dropped the smiles from their faces.
In the end, it was Zhou Chun, who always had the best relationship with Shen Youran, who opened her mouth to say:
"Ran Ran, open it and let's see. Let's find out what this 'Mr. Chi,' who has been invisible for nearly ten years, has sent our Ran Ran."
This time, Shen Youran didn't refuse. In fact, she was filled with anticipation.
While it's true that the management of Torch Academy was extremely strict, with things like the internet and communication bracelets having severe restrictions during the school term, she still harbored some faint expectations for someone who had only come to see her twice in the past ten years.
Under her roommates' watchful eyes, Shen Youran slowly opened the parcel.
Twenty seconds later, Zhou Chun and the other two girls let out a soft 'hmm' and furrowed their brows slightly.
Looking at the luminescent white chunk of meat revealed within the opened parcel, the girls felt somewhat uneasy, all their eager anticipation turning into confusion.
Who sends meat as a gift unless it's a holiday or something?
Shen Youran was unaware of her roommates' facial expressions and emotional changes, and even if she had been, she wouldn't have cared. Given her understanding of that person, she knew full well that this five-pound chunk of meat was definitely not just ordinary meat.
After some searching, she indeed found a note within another layer of the parcel.
"This is Queen Insect meat, which will greatly enhance your cultivation of the Guidance Technique. A simple cooking will do, Song Chi!"
After reading the note, Shen Youran herself didn't realize that the corners of her mouth had inadvertently lifted slightly.
This scene was naturally observed by the three roommates by her side who exchanged glances, smiles flickering in their eyes as well.
"Ran Ran, it looks like your Brother Song Chi has awakened, to even be able to get Queen Insect meat. And judging by the luminescence of the meat's surface, the rank of that Queen Insect must be quite high."
After speaking, the three girls looked at Shen Youran together with pitiful eyes as if their faces bore the words, "Ran Ran, do you have the heart to hog it all in front of us?"
Shen Youran obviously couldn't resist these close sisters. Fortunately, Song Chi had thought of this before mailing it: five pounds of Queen Insect meat, three roommates one pound each, and the remaining two pounds should be enough for Shen Youran's Guidance Technique to break through a small rank.
In a flurry of activity, the four girls simply cooked the meat right in the dormitory and immediately began to test the effects of the Queen Insect meat.
Since the Starry Sea Insect Race was not commonly seen, and Queen Insects were even rarer, they had only ever read about Queen Insect meat in textbooks, so this was quite a treat thanks to Shen Youran's connection.
After eating the cooked meat, it wasn't long before all four girls had a flush on their faces, and their whole bodies felt hot to the touch.
Seeing this, they quickly assumed positions for cultivating the Guidance Technique and began their cultivation.
Over ten minutes later, a series of blood Qi fluctuations of varying strengths emanated from dorm 508, causing surprise among those in neighboring dormitories.
Inside the dorm, after coming out of the bathroom one after another, all clean, the four girls sat on their beds, dazed.
