Chapter 3: The Enchantment of Sound
"Wuwu, it's just good that you are back... cough cough." The female teacher, who had been frightened all night, saw Wu Can return and felt no anger at all. It was not that she did not want to be angry; had she found him last night, she would have certainly scolded him severely, even giving him a few smacks on his backside. But now, terrified by the principal's words, upon seeing the missing student return safely, she only wanted to cry heartily to vent her pent-up frustration and grievances.
The dream faded away, and the words of the Nightmare Immortal echoed in Wu Can's mind: "From now on, I will reside within your body, teaching you immortal techniques and assisting you in your cultivation. Whenever you wish to chat with me, simply silently recite 'Nightmare Immortal' and I will appear." This phrase reverberated repeatedly, firmly etched in his mind
In a room on the fifth floor of the hotel, the overweight principal was reprimanding a young female teacher: "Teacher Huang, you have been teaching for ten years, how can you still be so careless? You actually lost a child! Do you think this is some third-rate school for children of workers? Losing a student can be settled with a few hundred thousand or so. This is an elite school; their parents are all multimillionaires or billionaires, high-ranking government officials. If they find out, who knows how they will view our school! You know Wu Can's family background; his father is the chairman of Xinke Network, and he is the only precious child in the family. If something really happens, we will definitely face a lawsuit!"
Rest assured, I will not put you in a difficult position, but you should not make things hard for Teacher Huang either! Hu Xuejiao glared at the plump principal, and upon seeing Teacher Huang's haggard appearance, added, Teacher Huang has been searching on the mountainside all night and has not yet slept; it is time for her to rest.
Hu Xuejiao, dressed in a fiery red dress, let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction and scolded, "Is just saying sorry enough? Do you have any idea how much hardship Teacher Huang has endured for you! You undisciplined nouveau riche!"
I am the Dream Nightmare Immortal, and I wish to impart to you the ability to traverse the heavens and the earth. Do you consent?" The Immortal smiled kindly, waved his hand, and summoned a lovely longevity deer for Wu Can to ride. Wu Can felt the wind rushing past his ears, and in an instant, he traveled a thousand miles, arriving at the celestial palace bathed in colorful rays of light. Still possessing the heart of a child, he was instantly delighted by the sights and began to dance with joy.
Which class are you in, being so unruly? Give me a moment... Oh, it turns out to be classmate Hu Xuejiao. I will conduct a thorough investigation. If we still cannot find Wu Can by noon, we will report it to the police. Hehe, at that time, we will also need you and the library to testify, preferably with Deputy Secretary Hu explaining the situation.
Wu Can found Lu Shiman's words somewhat familiar. Before he could regain his composure, he was captivated by the flying old immortal, forgetting to question the flaws in her speech
"Hehe, I was just thinking the same thing. Teacher Huang, you should take a break..." Before the chubby principal could finish speaking, a commotion erupted outside, with some students joyfully calling out Wu Can's name.
"You ... ... ?" The girl in the red dress stamped her foot in anger, her beautiful face filled with resentment and fury
Ah! The little boy who fainted by the woods finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes, sat up from the ground, and the phrase kept echoing in his mind, "Nightmare Immortal? What a strange dream, what a strange name? Haha, it really was a dream; as soon as I silently recited those four words, no one answered."
Wu Can ran back anxiously, completely unaware of the changes in his body. His legs moved as fast as lightning, rushing down the mountain like a gust of wind. It was only when he reached a crowded area that he stopped, suddenly realizing that many people were pointing at him, exclaiming in surprise: "Oh my, that child runs so fast! Does he know lightness skill?"
"You don't need to worry about it, you arrogant embezzler! I know what I owe to Teacher Huang!" Wu Can retorted harshly, turning his head to continue comforting Teacher Huang.
The chubby principal wiped the sweat that poured from his brow with every shout, while the female teacher, with red eyes, quietly shed tears with her head bowed
Hehe, it's good that there is nothing wrong. You two little rascals should stop sulking! Let's all play for half a day more, and we will return to Shanghai in the afternoon. The plump principal knows that these two children are not easy to deal with, and he cannot provoke them; he can only act as a mediator.
Upon seeing his classmate's demeanor, Wu Can immediately realized that the teacher had discovered something. As he entered the room and saw Teacher Huang with her eyes red from crying, he instantly regretted his actions and confessed to her. Noticing the dust and stains on her green dress, as well as the marks from the grass, he understood that she had gone up the mountain to search for herself. Feeling guilty, he took Teacher Huang's delicate hand, which resembled a spring onion, and noticed several abrasions on it. He then sincerely apologized to her once more.
A group of fifth-grade children were eavesdropping at the door, secretly feeling indignant for Teacher Huang. One girl in a red dress, hearing Teacher Huang's cries, could no longer contain her anger. She burst through the door and shouted, "Principal, this cannot be blamed on Teacher Huang; it was Wu Can who sneaked out. Last night, I accompanied Teacher Huang to take the attendance, and there was not a single one missing before we went to bed."
"Hehe, of course I know your name is Wu Can!" Lu Shiman turned her head, returning to her gentle and elegant demeanor, "Come, follow me to a place!"
She cried out twice, desperately trying to suppress it, not wanting to lose composure in front of the students. She had no choice but to turn her head, covering her face with both hands, her body still trembling.
At that moment, he realized that it was already bright outside and that he had spent the night sleeping in the wilderness. He wondered what he would do if Teacher Huang checked the room. The boy sprang up in alarm and hurriedly dashed into the woods, hoping to take a shortcut back to the hotel where he was staying. After running a few dozen steps, he suddenly stopped, his face flushed and heart racing, as he looked ahead at two stark white naked bodies. He recalled what had happened the previous night and recognized that these two were the ones who had disturbed him while he was stargazing. He also remembered the colorful phenomena in the sky from last night and was unsure whether it was real or a dream, feeling anxious to return and ask his classmates.
Wu Can habitually wiped his forehead, only to find not a single drop of sweat, and he wasn't even out of breath. When he looked up and saw the hotel where he was staying, he couldn't believe that he had actually run down in one breath, covering a distance of over ten kilometers. After all, he had taken the cable car up here last night
Before Wu Can could respond, the Nightmare Immortal suddenly furrowed his brows, as if faced with great trouble. He abruptly shouted at the handsome young man: "From now on, I will reside within your body, teaching you immortal techniques and assisting you in your cultivation. Whenever you wish to chat with me, simply recite 'Nightmare Immortal' in your mind, and I will appear alongside the book." As he spoke, he formed strange and mysterious hand seals, and a beam of golden light shot into Wu Can's forehead. Simultaneously, the Nightmare Immortal chanted a spell: "Yuan? Zhi!"

As he spoke, he formed strange and mysterious hand seals, and a beam of golden light shot into Wu Can's forehead. The Nightmare Immortal simultaneously chanted a spell: "Yuan? Zhi!"
Of course, let's go find a celestial being! I know a very powerful celestial being; he possesses great magical abilities and is from the Nightmare clan... Oh no, I mean he is from the ancient celestial clan with unparalleled celestial skills, hehe. Lu Shiman playfully stuck out her tongue, turned her head to make a silly face, and with one hand secretly formed a hand seal, conjuring an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face from the celestial mountain, riding a peaceful longevity deer, smiling as he flew towards them
The beautiful young man became cheerful again, allowing the girl to hold his hand, and curiously asked, "Where are we going?" Just after he asked, he found himself flying up, with verdant mountains and clear waters beneath his feet, cascading waterfalls and flowing clouds, resembling a fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful
Wu Can is graduating this year. The entire grade is going on a graduation outing, with each class accompanied by a teacher. He sneaks out to look at the stars, knowing that if he is discovered by the teacher, he will certainly be reprimanded. Although he is graduating, he still does not want to upset his gentle and beautiful homeroom teacher. He carefully avoids a pair of naked individuals, yet his eyes occasionally fixate on the woman's voluptuous and rounded backside, as well as the towering peaks resembling mountains. He runs far away, glancing back from time to time.
