“I’m counting on you to know better. Hey, you in the back! What are you still standing stupidly for? Hurry and scram.” Yang Chenchen raised her head proudly with a bit of superiority and contempt in her eyes. “You aren’t the adulterer, are you? I’m warning you, it’s not yet too late for regrets. If you offend me, I’ll make it impossible for you to stay in Fuzhou.”

Qi Zhenbai’s thick brows that flew obliquely to his temples creased and his upturned ice-cold slender eyes underneath concealed hints of detachment and displeasure. His bloody diamond-shaped lips pursed and his frosty countenance fell out of sorts, while his hands that were supposed to push Chi Shuyan away faltered. It had been a long time since anyone dared to provoke him in public.

Qi Zhenbai turned his head, his handsome and profound, wooden face and sharp falcon-like slender eyes looking over coldly. Partly tugging at his scarlet, bloody lips, he condescendingly retorted with a voice deep and cold, “Impossible to stay? Then, I’ll wait and see.”

Yang Chenchen was dumbstruck the moment Qi Zhenbai turned his face. All her attention had been on humiliating Chi Shuyan earlier, plus Qi Zhenbai was facing sideways, and with Zhu Bocheng blocking him at the front, Yang Chenchen hadn’t gotten a clear look at him.

When she saw him clearly, she swallowed her taunts and curses, and was no longer as arrogant and despotic as she was moments ago. Her face flushed bright red, her heart thumped inside her chest, and her eyes glowed. Yet, when Qi Zhenbai’s two majestic eyes without luster shot a glance at her, Yang Chenchen’s heart jumped in fright at his icy stare. This man was stunning, but his eyes were too scary. Yang Chenchen swallowed her spit.

However, this did not dampen Yang Chenchen’s interest; she rolled her eyes and piled up a glittering smile. “Actually, Shunyan and I are attending the same high school. Today’s incident is all a misunderstanding. My name is Yang Chenchen, what’s your name? Are you new to Fuzhou?”

Qi Zhenbai gave her a cold, indifferent look, without the slightest interest in her.

Seeing that he ignored her, Yang Chenchen bit her lips and blushed, feeling embarrassed at the humiliation. She suddenly looked at Chi Shuyan and apologized profusely. “Shuyan, I was joking with you. Abbin is tame and won’t bite anyone. I’ve been a bit impulsive today, but I’m sure you can understand that. You were involved in Wenyun and Sister Hui’s accident and they’re in a coma. How can you, a fellow classmate, be so cold and heartless? Even if you normally are in conflicts, you should still visit them. That way, I won’t think more of it. I’m just frank and outspoken, I’m so sorry.”

Yang Chenchen apparently apologized, but in fact, smeared Chi Shuyan at every turn. With her guiding words, bystanders would only think that the two classmates were unconscious because of Chi Shunyan, but she didn’t even have the conscience to visit them.

Hearing Yang Chenchen, Chi Shuyan finally reacted and withdrew from Qi Zhenbai’s chest with difficulty. God knew how much she wanted to tie this man up and use him as a pillow every day. This purple aura was just too comfortable! It was like soaking in spirit qi. No, it was better than spirit qi. If she could practice everyday in this purple aura, it was unimaginable how much her cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. On the contrary, when Qi Zhenbai caught the rosy blush of the girl in his embrace, and that look as if wishing she could stick to him for a lifetime, his eyelids twitched violently in shock.

Chi Shuyan landed on her feet, glanced at the distant giant wolfhound from the corner of her eyes, and cursed herself for being useless. Her big round feline eyes were wide, and also perhaps in shyness or anger, her fair skin was stained with a touch of light pink. She snapped back, “I was involved? That’s right, a dozen of you blocked me in the restroom, so of course, I was involved. But you fought and wrestled among yourselves, so why should I be blamed? Why should I visit them? Do you want me to burn paper money for them in front of the hospital? I’d wish them a safe journey!”

After Chi Shunyan’s comeback, Zhu Bocheng was the first to burst out laughing.?This soft and cute-looking girl is quite poisonous.?The sales lady inside the store and the crowd of people fawning Qi Zhenbai laughed out in an equally unkind manner.?This girl is so cute like a cat with fluffed up fur.?At the same time, they also sort of heard what was going on, and looked cryptically at Yang Chenchen with traces of ridicule.

Even the cold-faced Qi Zhenbai found this girl quite interesting. A shallow smile flashed in his never unruffled slender eyes, with his bloody lips arching dazzlingly, then disappearing without a trace. He pulled out the handkerchief in his pocket to wipe his hands, and then put it back in place.

While Chi Shuyan was having a dispute with Yang Chenchen, she saw the man on the side, who was a crane standing among chickens, wiping his hands with his handkerchief – she almost choked.?Damn, was that disdain?

Yang Chenchen choked up. She flew into rage from embarrassment, stamped with fury, but blackening her name failed. On the contrary, it was Chi Shuyan, who mobilized the army. Sensing the meaningful and mocking gaze of the crowd, she nursed a grievance.?Why did they believe her??She almost cursed at these idiots, but when her gaze shifted to Qi Zhenbai, she gritted her teeth in hatred: “Chi Shunyan, you’re such an expert at reversing black and white, I’ll see you at school.” She turned around and left.

After Yang Chenchen left, Chi Shuyan met Qi Zhenbai’s seemingly unmeasured gaze without blushing, or her heart beating any faster. Her pair of round feline eyes stared right back, bold and upright, as if nothing had happened. In the end, her past life wasn’t in vain. Even if she really was drooling over his purple qi, she still had some strength to curb it!

Suddenly reminded of the man’s frank disdain of her touch, Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched. Well, he disliked her and she was too lazy to mess with him. The last thing she liked was to have her face hot against someone’s cold butt. As for his purple aura…?tsk-tsk, what a pity. How did such an exuberant purple qi fall on a man who would die prematurely? Too bad!

Zhu Bocheng glanced at Chi Shuyan and cheered her on passionately, with a thumbs up. This was the first time in history that someone dared to take advantage of Qi Zhenbai in broad daylight and wasn’t thrown out.?Sigh. People couldn’t be judged by their looks.?He inquired smilingly, “Your classmate seemed bull-headed, aren’t you afraid?” His voice reeked of teasing.

Chi Shuyan stared at him blankly and brushed him off. Thinking that although the man disdained her and she also took advantage of him by lying on top and sucking a few puffs of purple qi, she quickly finished a note on the counter and stuffed it in Zhu Bocheng’s hand without thinking: “This is for you.” After a moment’s pause, she seriously explained in passing: “Actually, I could have handled it just now. That was just an accident…” Catching a glimpse of Zhu Bocheng’s bantering gaze, she grit her teeth and didn’t say anything further. She too felt a bit ashamed of herself. A grand Celestial Master was actually scared by a dog? She picked up the red ginseng, turned around and left.

“Hahaha, this girl is really quite funny and amusing. She was obviously scared, but still stubbornly denies it.” Zhu Bocheng laughed at Chi Shuyan’s back, but when he turned around inadvertently, he found his friend, who had never been interested in anything, also looked at the door, but quickly averted his eyes!

Zhu Bocheng immediately felt like he had discovered a new continent. “Zhenbai, hahaha, don’t you think that little girl is quite cute, too?”

Qi Zhenbai’s diamond-shaped, thin lips spat out ice-cinder words with a smile, “I’m not a pedophile.” Then, he turned around to look at other stuff at the counter.

Zhu Bocheng gave it a thought. That girl was obviously too young compared to Qi Zhenbai and was still a minor. He really would have to wonder if Qi Zhenbai was a pervert if he was interested in that girl.

Zhu Bocheng cast aside his messy thoughts and raised the note in his hand, smiling proudly. “Has my tall and imposing figure charmed that little girl just now? I can’t believe she even left her phone… huh, what’s this? Zhu Bocheng, who thought that it was contact information, looked at the note strangely.

“Zhenbai, t-this seems like it’s for you.” Zhu Bocheng was bewildered.

Zhu Bocheng nudged Qi Zhenbai when he ignored him. Only then did Qi Zhenbai give it a disinterested glance, but when he saw the contents of the note clearly, his cold and profound face was slightly astonished.
