"Hm?" Though his surprise didn't show on his face Wulin was no less surprised than Gu Yuena was. Wulin was feared all throughout the school without a single exception. Or so he had thought. When faced with such clear adoration that notion became doubtable.
"The way you broke the school was so cool! And the way you act so domineering normally but you're so tame around your girlfriend is amazing! And, and!" Speaking at a million words a minute Xu Xiaoyan practically had stars in her eyes.
"Stop." Even the experienced Wulin found it hard to deal with her excitement, his experience as a Slayer coming in insufficient. Most of FUG was much too reverent of him to bombard him with praise like this so it was a new experience to be sure.
"Come on, play nice. She's your biggest fan!" Overcoming her surprise with shocking ease Gu Yuena didn't waste any time in teasing her other half. It was a little embarrassing to have such a label put on their relationship but it hardly mattered. Wulin wouldn't care so why should she?
"Are we dating?" Wulin however focused on exactly what she believed he would not, his words directed at her and her alone. For a moment she felt a blush cross her cheeks but it disappeared as quickly as it came.
"Sure." She replied with the utmost casualty, her tone even and stable as always. Realistically, nothing would change if they added a title or not so there was no need to be embarrassed. They had been this close for months, adding a name to an action wasn't worth attention.
"Ok." Just as she expected, Wulin had little to no reaction. The only symbol that he cared at all was the small accidental curling of his lips. That alone was enough for Gu Yuena to feel as though it was worth it, her hand slipping into his own without her knowing.
"They've gone into their own world again…" Wearing a wry smile Mu Xi didn't quite know how to feel about the situation. Wulin and Gu Yuena were in a world of their own and Xu Xiaoyan was gushing over Wulin's every action.
"Looks like you got used to it already, newbie!" Phasing out of existence Xie Xie snickered like a fool as the flaming sun soared through his body. As far as the order of their appearance, he was third while Mu Xi was fourth. It was his right to tease her!
"I'm still here." The cold voice of Wu Zhangkong was tainted with annoyance as he glared at his students. Internally however he found a great degree of amusement at it all. Wulin and Gu Yuena were his closest of the bunch so their relationship being finalized was something to be celebrated while Xu Xiaoyan's adoration for their school's demon was as amusing as it came.
As a fellow popular man Wu Zhangkong felt a bit of pity for the boy but he was lucky in having Gu Yuena at his side. Regardless, everything was a mess. Mu Xi's attack on Xie Xie had been harmless but this kind of messing around usually wasn't done so boldly before a teacher.
"Hm? It's fine isn't it? You said we were dismissed." Looking at him oddly, Xie Xie didn't understand what their teacher was getting at. The Cold God could watch them whether they were here or ten miles away so why did it matter where they messed around? Rather, wasn't it better to keep it here where it was contained?
Taking a moment to run Xie Xie's words and expressions through his mind, Wu Zhangkong kept his silence, his belt seamlessly sliding out of its constraints and standing at full mast. A malevolent aura spread from their teacher, his cold eyes promising punishment.
"3." Reacting to the countdown Xie Xie immediately sprung into action, his figure a blur as he leapt out of the closed window and down the multiple floors it took to reach the ground. He was quick and most would struggle to find his presence at all but Wu Xhangkong wasn't most.
Opening the window their teacher followed after their comrade, a scream echoing through the school a few seconds later. Looking around in bewilderment, Xu Xiaoyan was the epitome of confusion, her eyes latching onto Wulin for help.
"You'll be missed." Without a single care in his eyes Wulin left a small prayer in the wind, turned around, and left. Giggling, the Elemental Saint followed suit while Mu Xi had already left long ago to return to her beloved forge.
"What?" Left behind, Xu Xiaoyan could only stand prone from surprise.

"So. What do you think about her?" In a dark corner of the world, an unlikely trio had gathered together. They rarely saw one another and whenever they did it was for something of the utmost importance however this didn't quite fit that box, at least to most it wouldn't.
"She was quite clever. Talented too. She may turn out to be a dangerous enemy if we deny her today." The left hand of the devil was the second to speak, his long brown hair veiled by the shadowy room they occupied.
"Indeed. She has our God's heart grasped firmly, should she decide to oppose us she may destroy our God for good." It was a reasonable worry from the right hand of the devil however it was also foolish.
"Yes but she may also become our God's greatest ally. They seem quite close, it would be the epitome of stupidity if we turned her away." The left hand retorted, his words equally reasonable yet still missing the mark.
"She holds our God's heart as much as he holds hers. They care deeply for one another, going against her is the same as turning our backs to him." It was the newest member that spoke the most reasonably, his tone even and his eyes unwavering as his two seniors turned to him.
The trio had each met the girl who held their God's heart and yet it seemed only he had any clue on the truth of the matter. They had both agreed only because it was what their God had wished for, the exact thing their God had told them not to do.
"I see. We almost committed a great sin." Chuckling with realization in his eyes the left hand couldn't help but feel idiotic. He had almost gone against his God's wishes because of his own conclusions of a matter that he was not fully aware of. He had gotten complacent.
"Indeed. In order to atone, let us grant her all that she desires. Let us pull FUG out of the shadows." The vow made by the right hand would be the spark that plunges the world into an era of turbulence that would greatly affect the future of the world.
"""All will be Forgiven Under Grace."""

Hey there, hope you liked the chapter.
Finally! Wulin and Gu Yuena have put an official title on their relationship! To be honest though, not much will change. They were already pretty much there so only a few words I use will change here and there. Be patient brothers, we'll get to the juicer scenes when they're a bit older!
