Chapter 221: Chapter 218: Stirring (Part 2)
It’s incredibly frustrating to be interrupted in the middle of cultivation.
’Hasn’t that kid had enough? Looks like I went too easy on him.’
Mo Qi thought Li Yuanhao had come back for more. He flung open the door to the Cultivation Room, didn’t even bother to look, and yanked the person outside into the room.
BOOM!
The door shut again.
Outside, Li Xuemiao and the crowd of onlookers were all dumbfounded.
My god, what did we just see?
Mu Xue, the Dean’s adopted daughter and one of the Imperial Academy’s goddesses, had just been dragged inside by her hair.
He’s crazy! He’s gone crazy!
That new guy must be insane!
Even if you don’t know Mu Xue’s identity, and even if she interrupted your cultivation, shouldn’t you at least show some chivalry?
Pulling a goddess’s hair... How could he do something so monstrous!
"I’m impressed, I really am."
"Yeah, me too. Totally and completely impressed."
"This guy is either an idiot or an absolute madman."
One after another, the crowd members all expressed the same sentiment.
Even when Li Yuanhao was defeated, they hadn’t been this shocked.
Li Xuemiao was frantic, pounding on the Cultivation Room’s door.
"Sister Xue, are you okay?"
"You big pervert, give my Sister Xue back!"
Unfortunately, the Cultivation Room’s door could not be opened by anyone other than the user inside.
Time ticked by. The Cultivation Room door remained shut, and Mu Xue’s condition was unknown.
Li Xuemiao gritted her teeth, took out a Communication Talisman, and sent a mass message to all the male disciples of the Imperial Academy: Sister Mu Xue is being harassed by a pervert in the Fighting Cultivation Room! Come to the rescue at once!
Once the message was sent, the entire Imperial Academy exploded into an uproar.
Countless male disciples were both shocked and curious.
As one of the Imperial Academy’s goddesses, Mu Xue was top-tier in both talent and looks. Add to that her adoptive father being the Dean, and the result was that she had always been incredibly arrogant, looking down on every male disciple.
Not even Li Yuanhao was an exception.
But now, she was actually being harassed by a pervert!
’Which hero pulled off such a world-shaking, legendary deed?’
’We owe you a drink!’
For some reason, many male disciples actually felt a tiny flicker of anticipation in their hearts.
Of course, besides this type of male disciple, there were many more who had long been infatuated with Mu Xue.
After seeing the message from Li Xuemiao, their eyes went bloodshot. Without a second thought, they dropped whatever they were doing and rushed to the Fighting Cultivation Room at top speed.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Even if they couldn’t be the hero who saved the damsel in distress, they had to at least leave a good impression on the goddess.
Not to mention, Li Xuemiao herself had a huge number of suitors. Who would dare to be slow when their own goddess was calling for help?
As a result, when you added in all the people who just came for the drama, more than ninety percent of the younger generation of male disciples at the Imperial Academy had soon gathered outside the Fighting Cultivation Room.
Mu Xue’s brother, Mu He, had also received the news.
Mu He was a sunny, good-tempered young man. In this world, there were two people he cared about most: his adoptive father, Mu Kongfu, and his younger sister, Mu Xue. But now, there was a third person—Niu Kexin.
As instructed by Mu Kongfu, he was cheerfully showing Niu Kexin and Liu Ruyan around the Imperial Academy.
When he suddenly received Li Xuemiao’s message, his usual good-natured demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by a terrifying, murderous aura.
As her older brother, Mu Xue was undoubtedly the apple of his eye.
’Someone at the Imperial Academy dared to harass my sister?’
’They’re courting death!’
"Adoptive Brother, what’s wrong?" Niu Kexin and Liu Ruyan were startled by Mu He’s transformation and quickly asked.
"Xue’er is being harassed, by a pervert, from the sound of it." Mu He suppressed his anger and said apologetically, "Adoptive Sister, Miss Liu, forgive my rudeness, but I must take my leave."
"We’ll go with you," Niu Kexin said.
"But..." Mu He hesitated.
"No matter what, Mu Xue is my adoptive sister. She’s in trouble, and as her younger sister, it’s my duty to go," Niu Kexin said with a firm tone.
"Alright, enough talk. If Sister Kexin says we’re going, then we’re going. You lead the way!" Liu Ruyan was much more direct, speaking to Mu He in a commanding tone.
"Alright, let’s go!" Mu He didn’t say it out loud, but he was very moved.
He knew, of course, that Mu Xue and Niu Kexin had never seen eye to eye. But for Niu Kexin to put aside their differences at a critical moment proved she wasn’t a petty person.
...
While it was utter chaos outside, it was surprisingly quiet inside the Cultivation Room.
Mu Xue had been wondering what kind of attitude she should adopt when greeting the newcomer in the Cultivation Room.
After all, this was the person who had defeated Li Yuanhao. Even though they had only competed in technique, that alone was enough to earn her respect.
Mu Xue’s cold arrogance and disdain were directed only at those she considered weak.
Toward the strong, however, her attitude was completely different.
The truth she believed in was that strength reigned supreme!
Who would have thought that before she could even figure out what to say when they met, she felt her hair being seized by an immense force.
Then her scalp went numb, and a sharp pain shot through her.
Her body felt light as the world spun around her. Then she had an intimate encounter with the floor, slammed down hard by that same force.
And that was just the beginning.
Before Mu Xue could even cry out in pain, a rain of fists poured down on her.
She even felt her pretty face being brutally stomped on a few times.
Because everything happened so fast and so suddenly, Mu Xue actually forgot to resist or fight back.
Mo Qi was in a fit of rage and didn’t even get a clear look at who he had dragged in. It was a completely subconscious reaction to just start beating the hell out of them.
By the time he realized what he was hitting felt wrong, it was already too late.
The two of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.
The atmosphere couldn’t have been more awkward.
Especially since one of Mo Qi’s hands was still clutching a lock of Mu Xue’s hair, and one of his feet was still planted on her stomach.
’Can someone please tell me who this woman is? Why isn’t she Li Yuanhao?’ Mo Qi’s mind was screaming.
What do I do?
His thoughts spun in a thousand directions. Even his main body Within the Pass was trying to think of a solution, but he just couldn’t come up with any good way to defuse the current awkwardness.
’Pretend I was sleepwalking?’
’Knock her out and sneak away?’
’If I tell her I grabbed the wrong person by mistake, will she believe me? Will she let it go?’
’Oh for god’s sake, none of that will work! She’s not an idiot!’
While Mo Qi was agonizing, Mu Xue’s mind was filled with a single thought: ’I was... actually hit by him!’
For a moment, the Cultivation Room fell into an eerie silence. Both of them were frozen in place, not moving or making a sound.
Only the Puppet at the side was shaking its head from time to time.
In the end, it was Mo Qi who came to his senses first. He felt that things couldn’t go on like this.
He gently released the hair in his hand and slowly lifted his foot.
This slight movement, however, was enough to startle Mu Xue out of her daze.
"You actually dared to hit me!"
Growing up, not even Mu Kongfu had ever been willing to strike her, but now she had been beaten by Mo Qi.
Her rage instantly maxed out. She propped herself up on her hands, brought her legs together, and kicked out toward Mo Qi’s chest.
Mo Qi was still thinking about how to apologize when he was suddenly attacked. By reflex, he grabbed Mu Xue’s ankle, and with a powerful heave, ruthlessly flung her across the room.
