Chapter 804: Chapter 804: I Want to Stay in the Middle
Xiao Meng stole a glance at Qin Sisi, and a sense of kinship blossomed in her heart.
Jing Jing had told her that Qin Sisi was the darling of Yeyou, and very likely the future sacred queen.
Subconsciously, Xiao Meng had expected the future sacred queen to be just as cold and aloof as the frigid Lord Yeyou, difficult to approach. However, upon meeting her, she was surprised to find Qin Sisi exuding a gentle and approachable aura, nothing like the cold arrogance she had imagined.
Initially, Xiao Meng had considered her elder sister’s instructions as merely a task to be completed, but now she genuinely wanted to befriend Qin Sisi.
The two of them got to work and soon tidied up Xiao Meng’s room.
However, since the rooms hadn’t been lived in for a while, dust had settled on the floors and objects. Both of them got a bit grimy after cleaning up, so they washed up and changed clothes.
Qin Sisi had not dared to wear the two pieces of amber silk clothing gifted by Yeyou. Xiao Meng suggested that since today was just for new student registration and classes would not start until tomorrow, it was fine to wear ordinary clothes on this peaceful day.
Since it was the first day of school, Qin Sisi chose a red dress for good luck, hoping for an auspicious start.
Unfortunately, just as the two of them changed into their clothes and were about to head to the cafeteria for a meal, their good luck seemed to take a turn.
A woman clad in white, with an elegant visage and an arrogant demeanor, strolled leisurely up Tianyue Mountain, followed closely by a maid with an ingratiating look on her face.
Looking around Tianyue Mountain with a faint expression of disdain, the woman in white then turned her gaze to the row of student rooms, stepping up to the one in the very middle with the maid following in her steps.
Just as Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng opened the door and stepped out, they paused at the sight of the woman in white standing before them.
Qin Sisi quickly took note of the lady’s appearance, seeing a resemblance in the corner of her eyes and brows to Ya Ning. The unsullied white dress fluttering in the wind also matched Ya Ning’s style. Could this be a member of the Qing Ming Family?
Before they could ask, the woman in white lifted her chin arrogantly and inquired, "Who lives in this middle room?"
Qin Sisi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she took a step forward and replied, "I live here."
The woman in white glanced at her disdainfully and said flatly, "I want to live in the middle room. You move to another."
Qin Sisi’s brows knitted slightly as she raised her chin to meet the gaze of the woman in white, neither agreeing nor refusing.
If the other party truly had a predicament and was polite about it, negotiation was certainly possible.
However, the arrogant attitude and contemptuous look of the woman in white were unacceptable to Qin Sisi. She was curious to see just how influential this woman in white really was.
Xiao Meng had already lost patience; she stood by Qin Sisi and crisply retorted, "Ever heard of first come, first served? If you wanted to pick a spot, why didn’t you come earlier?"
Before the woman in white could reply, the little maid jumped out and scolded Xiao Meng, "How dare you speak to my mistress like that! Be careful, I’ll report you to our Clan Leader and have you both thrown out of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle."
Qin Sisi blinked. This bravado seemed a bit much!
She seemed to remember Yeyou saying that the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle was an independent entity, and apart from the Jiu Xi Royal Family, the leaders of other families had no authority to command.
Xiao Meng also cast a look of disbelief toward the hopping little maid, then lifted her right hand to her forehead, looking skyward as she said, "Sisi, quick, look over there! A cow is flying by!"
The corners of Qin Sisi’s lips curled into a smile, clearly without any intention of looking up at the sky.
The little maid followed Xiao Meng and looked up very naively, saying while she looked, "Liar, there are no bulls! There’s nothing at all."
Xiao Meng and Qin Sisi glanced at each other and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.
With intelligence like that, indeed she could only be a little maid.
Anger tinged the gaze of the woman in white as she slapped the little maid on the head, scolding annoyedly, "What are you looking at, idiot!"
The little maid, having been hit, stole a glance at the woman in white with a look of grievance, and hung her head low, not daring to speak any further.
The woman in white then turned her eyes to Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng, and said furiously, "I’ll say it one more time, I want the room in the middle, don’t make me say it a third time."
Xiao Meng curled her lips, showing an expression of indifference, and cupped her hand to her ear, shouting at the top of her lungs, "What? I can’t hear you——"
You don’t want to say it a third time? I insist on making you say it a third time.
The woman in white became infuriated with shame, twisted her wrist, and with a push of her palm, a ball of extremely cold white fog rolled towards Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng was still maintaining the playful stance she had just adopted, honestly not expecting the woman in white to actually start a fight right in the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, so she was caught off guard.
Fortunately, Qin Sisi was on alert and immediately mobilized magic power, deploying the defense skill "Solid as Golden Soup," condensing it into a semi-transparent shield in front of them.
All students who enter Heaven Academy are of the magic instructor rank, albeit at slightly different levels.
Although the woman in white’s magic power was indeed above that of Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng, she had acted hastily just now, using only half her strength, while Qin Sisi, to ensure their safety, had gone all out.
Thus, the ice fog released by the woman in white was completely blocked by Qin Sisi’s shield, which remained virtually undamaged.
Xiao Meng, coming back to her senses, was so angry she gritted her teeth. She, too, was the precious daughter of a Clan Leader—why should she be bullied by others?
"Blasting Strong Grass!" Xiao Meng shouted crisply, her hands flipped, and a sphere of swiftly swirling wind energy formed in her palms.
Tianyue Mountain, like other peaks, was covered with vast expanses of lush grass wherever there were no buildings.
Those green blades of grass seemed to heed the call, detaching from the ground, from their roots, pretending to enter the swirling ball of wind.
Xiao Meng’s eyes darkened, and with a sudden push of her palm, a dragon-like tornado mixed with countless blades of grass surged towards the woman in white.
Should they touch her body, those blades of grass would no longer be mere grass but would turn into multiple small and sharp knives, slicing through clothes, cutting open skin.
If the user’s power was strong enough, they could drive the grass deep into the organs, and taking a life would be a matter of moments.
"Snowy Ice Arrow!" The woman in white, relying on her status as a Senior Magic Instructor and not taking Xiao Meng seriously, directly used another attack skill to confront Xiao Meng head-on.
In the white sphere, numerous ice-made arrows twinkled with cold light, shooting rapidly towards Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng.
A white and a green giant sphere of light collided in midair, equally matched, with neither gaining the upper hand for a long time.
However, as an Intermediate Magic Instructor, Xiao Meng ultimately had some disparity compared to a Senior Magic Instructor, and as time passed, she began to struggle to keep up, and the green sphere of light started to retreat.
