Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Xu Qianqian! I’m not done with you yet!

“…”

Su Ming fell into silence as he stared at the beautiful girl before him.

At that moment, all he could think was ‘motherfucker’, but he wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to say out loud.

He soon felt piercing gazes akin to death rays come from behind him. Su Ming’s back broke out in a cold sweat. He could only turn to look at Lei Hao, who had dragged him out of the dormitory without any explanation, and attempt to kill him with his glare.

Unfortunately, the only thing in Lei Hao’s mind was the goddess who had accompanied him through countless nights in his dreams and allowed him to practise his ancestral art countless times.

“I’ve brought the person over, Senior Sister.”

Lei Hao walked towards Xu Qianqian with a smile on his face.

However, his bare-chested smiling appearance looked a little vulgar, so Xu Qianqian subtly shifted away.

Lei Hao thought it was because he smelled sweaty and quickly took a few steps back, unaware of Xu Qianqian’s true reason.

Not to mention, the scene from earlier had yet to fade from Xu Qianqian’s mind.

She gave Lei Hao a symbolic nod and said a word of thanks before continuing to stare at Su Ming.

Lei Hao was already in a state of bliss. “Thank you. This is the fourth time she’s said thank you to me. Hehe.”

“…”

Xu Qianqian was somewhat regretful that she had come knocking on his door so openly.

Su Ming understood Young Master Lei had completely lost his right to date the goddess from this subtle expression of hers. His hatred for Lei Hao also unconsciously morphed into sympathy.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t the right time to pay attention to this vulgar and crude man.

Su Ming was concerned as to why Xu Qianqian had appeared here, why Lei Hao had dragged him here, and why the darling of the Hunter Division was looking at him with such an expression.

Could it be…

A flash of suspicion crossed Su Ming’s mind, but he quickly recovered.

“Are you Senior Sister Xu Qianqian?” Su Ming’s tone was full of hesitation and shock, even a little nervousness. It was as if he was a fan suddenly meeting a celebrity.

Clearly, the student who desired to be a simple minor character was acting yet again.

If anyone else had seen Su Ming’s reaction, they would have assumed he was just a lucky person who had caught the attention of the goddess.

But Xu Qianqian didn’t react like that. Instead, she stared at Su Ming as if she were either investigating or confirming something.

After a while, Xu Qianqian spoke up.

“Su Ming, right?” Xu Qianqian looked straight at him. “We’ve finally met properly.”

Xu Qianqian’s words slightly startled many of the people who were secretly watching the scene unfold.

Finally met properly?

What did she mean by that?

Su Ming was also a little confused, but more than that, he was alarmed.

Being suddenly approached by Xu Qianqian in such a strange manner made it impossible for him not to feel in such a way. Especially after what had happened earlier on. 

Because of this, Su Ming decided he needed to keep a distance from Xu Qianqian and never speak with her again. 

But just as he was looking for an opportunity to escape, Xu Qianqian suddenly said, “I have something I want to talk to you about. Do you have time?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Ming’s entire body shuddered.

He could feel the gazes from behind him suddenly fill with shock and terrifying malice.

“Is… is she inviting him out on a date?”

“No! There’s no way!”

“How could Xu Qianqian possibly ask a boy out?!”

“Hasn’t Xu Qianqian not come into contact with the opposite sex even once since she entered the academy two years ago?!”

“I heard that even the Hunter Division’s top student asked Xu Qianqian out and was rejected without hesitation!”

“Who’s that guy?”

“What department is he in?”

“What dorm is he in?”

“I’ve been studying how to tie women- ahem, enemies up. How about we go to his dorm tonight?”

“Good idea!”

The whispers made Su Ming feel a faint sense of danger, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

Although An Zijin’s popularity had been on the rise lately, to the point where she was slowly overtaking Xu Qianqian, Xu Qianqian was still the goddess who had dominated the Demon-Hunting Academy for two years. She was the true academy flower, and her halo was still virtually unmatched.

While she wasn’t as universally loved as An Zijin, her popularity was unquestionable.

At the very least, before An Zijin appeared, Xu Qianqian was the only one in the entire academy with her own fan club.

It was easy to imagine how many secret Xu Qianqian fans there were.

Especially those rough men in the Hunter Division, who all viewed Xu Qianqian as the rarest flower on a high mountain and their dream goddess.

If An Zijin was the princess of the Warlock Division, then Xu Qianqian was the queen of the Hunter Division.

The lofty queen descended upon the boys’ dormitory just to invite a “nobody” like him?

Never mind others, even Lei Hao, who was still in the midst of his own infatuation, was shocked awake. After a moment of silence, he turned to shoot a sharp gaze at Su Ming.

Su Ming instantly knew this guy was debating sacrificing him for his love.

Su Ming’s survival instinct was triggered.

“That is…” Su Ming said to Xu Qianqian in a low voice. “I might not have time.”

However, Su Ming’s words only made the hatred in those gazes grow.

“He’s going to reject her?”

“He wants to reject her, right?”

“Reject Xu Qianqian?”

“How dare he reject Queen Qianqian’s invitation? Who does he think he is?”

Su Ming’s eyes were twitching both from the whispers and by Lei Hao’s betrayal.

“Don’t listen to him, Senior Sister. Other than classes, he’s just been staying in his dorm and reading. He has plenty of time!”

While Lei Hao didn’t know if he was taking revenge on Su Ming or if he was just sucking up to Xu Qianqian, he sold out his friend without hesitation.

Su Ming there and then swore to himself that he would hide the sword Ye Bai had tossed away and wait for a quiet night when no one was around to let this shameless guy experience hell.

Xu Qianqian had already turned her gaze to Su Ming with a faint smile.

“Your roommate said that, but what do you have to say?”

Xu Qianqian seemed to be enjoying the situation.

Su Ming cursed in his heart, but his face still wore a slightly awkward smile.

“Don’t listen to him, Senior Sister. He’s just a crazy person who likes to talk nonsense. After all, normal people don’t run around the streets naked and crying.”

Su Ming shot Lei Hao a fierce glare.

“I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t say that!”

Lei Hao’s face reddened, and he jumped up and down. He was unwilling to let Su Ming ruin his image in front of his goddess.

Su Ming wanted to kindly tell him that his image was long gone.

But right at that moment, Xu Qianqian leaned in close to Su Ming’s ear.

“I want to talk to you about what happened that night.”

Su Ming didn’t show any signs of grimness on his face. Instead, he looked confused.

“What are you talking about? What happened… What night?”

Of course, he wouldn’t be scared by a simple line like this. He had already made his own guesses and prepared himself for the worst.

Why else would Xu Qianqian suddenly show up at his door and ask to see him?

Most likely because of what happened that night, right?

Su Ming had planned on playing dumb until the end.

But for some reason, Xu Qianqian didn’t seem to care about Su Ming’s act. She looked confident.

“You can’t fool me.” Xu Qianqian stared deeply at Su Ming. “Others might fall for your lies, but I won’t.”

“I’ve been watching you for a long time.”

As she spoke, Xu Qianqian handed a piece of paper to Su Ming.

“Come find me when you’ve figured it out. I’ll wait for you.”

After leaving this message, Xu Qianqian turned and left.

Su Ming looked at the piece of paper in his hand and regretted taking it out of reflex.

It wasn’t for any other reason; it was because the gazes that were on him were as sharp as knives and filled with killing intent.

“Ah, I’m gonna die.”

Su Ming realised this.

Just as he was about to flee, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder.

“Su Ming ah.”

Young Master Lei looked at Su Ming.

“Can you tell us what Senior Sister wrote in that note?”

Clearly, Xu Qianqian’s act of delivering the note had led these rough men to misunderstand.

Ye Bai stood in the corridor of the dormitory building, holding his confession letter and sighing.

“As expected of a goddess. Even the way she delivered her love letter was so unique.”

These words fuelled the killing intent of all the men present.

Su Ming saw one burly man after the other run out of the dormitory building, their faces twisted as they charged towards him. His butt clenched, and without a second thought, he ran away.

“Don’t run!”

Unfortunately, as a warlock, Su Ming was unsurprisingly caught by the burly hunters and thrown to the ground.

Without fail, all the shirtless men piled on top of him.

Su Ming finally experienced what it felt like to be trapped under heaps of rocks and boulders

“Xu Qianqian! I’m not done with you yet!”

Su Ming felt that he had once again been wronged by that evil madwoman, and mentally added another mark against Xu Qianqian.
