Chasing the scent of Qu Liang, Liu Wanting finally caught up with her at the foot of the Girls' High School dormitory.
"I'll take your life first!" A fierce killing intent flashed in Liu Wanting's eyes as she bent her body like a sharp arrow, shooting toward Qu Liang's back.
Though Qu Liang was exhausted, she still sensed the intense danger behind her. Fearfully, she turned to look back and saw a snake, as thick as a finger, flying past her. There was no time left for her to dodge.
"Ah! No!" Qu Liang let out a terrible scream as she felt her body being torn open. The green snake burrowed into her back, directly piercing into her heart.
Strangely, even though the snake had entered Qu Liang's body, there was no visible wound on the outside.
Qu Liang's body trembled uncontrollably as she clutched her head and crouched on the ground, screaming in agony.
Her cries attracted the attention of the dormitory supervisor, who rushed over to Qu Liang's side. Gently patting her shoulder, the supervisor asked with concern, "Student, what's wrong?! Are you okay?"
Qu Liang did not look up; she continued to wail on the ground and pushed the dormitory supervisor away.
The supervisor, a woman in her fifties, fell to the ground from Qu Liang's shove. Getting back up, she glanced at Qu Liang and then took out her phone, worriedly saying, "This isn't good; we need to call security to take this girl to the infirmary!"
Just as the supervisor was about to make the call, Qu Liang finally stopped screaming. A cold aura emanated from her as she stood up from the ground.
"Student, are you alright?" The supervisor put down her phone and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Qu Liang replied coldly. She looked up and locked eyes with the supervisor; her eyes no longer resembled those of a normal person but rather looked like those of a snake.
The supervisor was startled by Qu Liang's gaze; her phone slipped from her hand as she trembled. Pointing at Qu Liang's eyes in fear, she stammered, "Student, what happened to your eyes?!"
Qu Liang quickly lowered her head. When she raised it again, her eyes had returned to normal, and the cold aura around her had vanished.
With a smile on her face, Qu Liang said, "Auntie, I'm really fine! I just had a stomachache earlier; that's why I reacted that way. I'll be alright in a bit!"
The dormitory supervisor examined Qu Liang's eyes closely and found nothing unusual. Shaking her head, she thought she must have been mistaken earlier.
With an understanding look, the supervisor said, "I'm glad you're okay! You should go rest now!"
Qu Liang nodded and turned to walk into the dormitory building. Her eyes blinked, transforming into serpentine slits. A glint of murderous intent flashed in Qu Liang's eyes as she coldly said, "Jiang Ling, you are the next person I will kill!"
Liu Wanting had temporarily spared Qu Liang's life, instead hiding within her body and taking control of her movements.
In the morning, I got up to find Li Hongze and Hu Yalong missing again. No need to ask; one was off to the study room to prepare for the college entrance exam, while the other was out on a date.
After washing up, I saw Lan Yue sitting on her bed fiddling with her computer. I quietly approached her with a mischievous grin and said, "Early in the morning, you’re not watching some island romance movie, are you?"
I caught a glimpse of a photo on Lan Yue's screen featuring a beautiful woman in police uniform, accompanied by a bunch of text. I only glanced at it briefly before playfully patting Lan Yue on the shoulder and saying, "Uniform series, my favorite! Make sure to send me the link later!"
Lan Yue shot me an annoyed look and replied, "Brother Jiang Ling, can you be serious for once? This person is Zhang Yang!"
I took a closer look and realized it really was Zhang Yang. Embarrassed, I scratched my ear and laughed, "Uh, I was just joking earlier!"
"By the way, you’re not actually interested in Zhang Yang, are you?"
Lan Yue nodded seriously and said, "Of course I am! I will only marry Zhang Yang in this lifetime!"
Seeing Lan Yue with that lovesick expression made me shake my head secretly. I thought to myself that now she had someone to pursue while I was still single.
I touched my ear and muttered, "Maybe it's time for me to find someone suitable too?"
I mentally went through the girls I knew but found none who liked me back or whom I liked. Shaking my head, I decided, "Forget it; I'll just go with the flow!"
When Lan Yue and I reached the classroom door, we saw seven or eight people blocking our way.
The leader among them was nicknamed Gangbo. His family was quite wealthy, and he ruled the school with an iron fist; few dared to provoke him.
"Are you Jiang Ling?" Gangbo asked nonchalantly while chewing gum as he swaggered over and poked my chest with a finger.
I swatted his finger away rudely and replied, "I am Jiang Ling. What do you want?"
Others might fear Gangbo, but I am not afraid. I have my ways to deal with someone like him. There were a few people like Gangbo who provoked me before, and they all ended up getting expelled from school. I clearly remember one incident where I kicked a certain someone's groin, and I bet he still can't take care of himself to this day.
"Oh, you seem quite confident!" Gangbo stepped back half a pace, arrogantly saying, "I have a friend who's pursuing Qu Liang from the nearby Girls' High School, but I've heard you've been getting close to her lately. My friend wants me to teach you a thing or two about how to conduct yourself!"
I looked at Gangbo's smug expression and felt irritated. I held back the urge to punch him right away and said, "Let's meet at the school playground at ten-thirty tonight!"
I issued a challenge to Gangbo and was about to head into the classroom. However, Gangbo didn't step aside. He said, "I've done my homework on you. You’ve been defeated mysteriously in your previous fights at night! I, Gangbo, won't fall for that trick!"
"Brothers, take him down!" Gangbo waved his right hand and charged forward first. The people behind him rolled up their sleeves and came at me with fists raised.
Seeing the situation escalate, Lan Yue immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to jump in.
"Let me handle this!" I grabbed Lan Yue's arm and kicked Gangbo in the side, then swiftly pulled out a talisman and stuck it on him.
"Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods! There are ways in Daoism; find a substitute!" I quickly formed several hand seals and then dragged Lan Yue back as we ran away.
Lan Yue looked back at the people chasing us and said helplessly, " Brother Jiang Ling, when did you become so cowardly?"
I touched my ear with a sly grin and replied, "This isn't cowardice; it's strategy! Just wait and see the show unfold!"
