Dog King's Revenge

"Ah!!!"

A woman's piercing scream rang out in Dormitory Room 44 in the Yellow Section.

"Miss, what happened?" Her attendants rushed in, worried that Hu Yan Lan Ruo might be in danger.

Before they could get a clear look at what was happening inside, Hu Yan Lan Ruo shoved them back out the door.

"Get out! Who told you to come in? All of you, get out! Go, all of you!"

The door slammed shut. The two attendants stared at each other, completely bewildered.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The attendants, still worried, knocked and asked, "Miss, are you all right? What was that sound just now?"

"I'm fine. Stand guard at the door. No one is allowed in without my permission."

The attendants were at a loss, unable to figure out what Hu Yan Lan Ruo was up to.

Since their young miss said she was fine, they couldn't very well keep asking.

Besides, with her strength as a Silver Spirit Master, nothing should be able to happen to her.

Inside the dormitory, Hu Yan Lan Ruo covered her eyes, both embarrassed and furious, her face red all the way to her neck.

That damn bastard... Why wasn't he wearing pants?

Never mind not wearing pants—he wasn't even wearing underwear. That was... that was absolutely outrageous!

Running around bare-assed in the street—what a pervert.

She'd heard that a "Pants-Stripping Fiend" had shown up during the freshman test that morning. Could this be the guy?

Hmm, very likely! The same black robe, the same perversion.

Damn it, she was still an unmarried young woman. She'd never even touched a boy's hand, and now she'd... she'd seen that thing.

What should she do? What should she do, what should she do?

Maybe... cut it off?

Hu Yan Lan Ruo lowered her hands and grinned wickedly as she took an elegant curved blade from her Space Ring.

Clang—

The blade slid from its scabbard, its cold gleam shimmering in the sunlight.

Xian Wu stood motionless, his gaze vacant, completely unaware of the danger about to befall him.

Hu Yan Lan Ruo held up the blade, hesitating. Would it be wrong to ruin the guy's future happiness just like that?

She was outgoing and fearless, but she wasn't a bad person by nature. She'd never done anything truly terrible in her life.

Besides, she had been the one who asked him to take off his clothes. She couldn't blame him for what she'd seen.

"Hmph, you're lucky!" Hu Yan Lan Ruo sheathed the blade and put it back in her Space Ring.

But the moment she thought of her precious beloved dog, who had died at his hands, her anger flared again.

"You may have escaped the death penalty, but you won't escape punishment." As she spoke, she took a Ram Horn Pen and a jar from her Space Ring.

The jar contained the Demonic Blood of a Silver Grade Wind Snow Spirit Insect, usually used to inscribe Wind Snow Inscryption.

Hu Yan Lan Ruo grinned as she dipped the Ram Horn Pen into the Demonic Blood, lifted Xian Wu's shirt, and began drawing on his stomach.

"Dog King, rest in peace..."

After drawing Dog King in a "Picasso" style on Xian Wu's stomach, Hu Yan Lan Ruo wrote four characters: "Dog King's Revenge."

As she drew, she infused the picture with Soul Force.

Unless Xian Wu reached the Silver Spirit Master level, this surrealist masterpiece would stay with him for the rest of his life.

Did he think he could get away with killing her Dog King?

Hu Yan Lan Ruo put the Ram Horn Pen and jar back in her Space Ring, then eyed Xian Wu's Left Hand again.

"What can your Left Hand break down?"

"Everything... in the world..." Xian Wu had stopped speaking one word at a time and switched to two at a time.

"Yeah, right!"

Hu Yan Lan Ruo didn't believe him. She took Dog King's favorite oversized bone from her Space Ring and placed it in Xian Wu's hand.

To her surprise, something bizarre happened.

She'd expected the bone to weigh Xian Wu's hand down, but the moment it touched his Left Hand, it snapped in two.

With a "dang," both broken pieces of the oversized bone hit the floor.

"This is fun! So much fun!" Hu Yan Lan Ruo clapped happily, as if she'd discovered a whole new world.

Sadly, the good times didn't last.

Before Hu Yan Lan Ruo could investigate further, an argument broke out outside the door.

"Who are you? What are you doing outside our dorm?"

"This is our dorm! What gives you the right to stop us from going in? Is there any justice? Any law?"

"You won't let us in, huh? Come on, Zhang Ming. Let's go ask the dorm supervisor to sort this out!"

"Miss, that guy's roommates have gone to get the dorm supervisor. What should we do?" one of her attendants reported, knocking on the door.

"How annoying!" Hu Yan Lan Ruo stamped her foot, quickly picked up Xian Wu's cloak, and draped it over him again.

If the dorm supervisor found out she'd barged into the boys' dormitory and reported it to the academy, she'd definitely be expelled.

Though she was from a Prominent Family, the academy's rules could not be broken. If she broke them, she would be severely punished.

Sacred Orchid Academy had the Wind Snow Family, the foremost of the Three Peak Families, backing it.

Even the members of the Sacred Family and Sacred Nether Family, both Peak Families themselves, didn't dare cause trouble at the academy.

In the blink of an eye, a blush spread across Hu Yan Lan Ruo's pretty face once more.

That thing was like a curse, etched firmly into her mind and impossible to shake.

"Let's go!" Hu Yan Lan Ruo left the dormitory and motioned for her two attendants to follow.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Hu Yan Lan Ruo snapped her fingers, dispelling the Art of Charm.

Dormitory.

Xian Wu's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the floor.

He looked around in bewilderment. "What happened? Why am I sitting on the floor? Where's that tigress? Did she leave?"

Xian Wu suspected he'd been dreaming, but the room's sultry fragrance proved that woman had been there.

"When did she leave? Why don't I remember any of it?" Xian Wu stared at the door in confusion.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Zhang Ming, Zhu Jun Xiang, and the dorm supervisor walked in.

"Big bro, are you okay? Let me help you up, let me help you up." Seeing Xian Wu sprawled on the floor, Zhu Jun Xiang hurried over to help.

But Xian Wu didn't appreciate it. "Don't touch me!"

"I can get up myself." Xian Wu pulled his arm free.

Zhu Jun Xiang drew his hand back awkwardly. He'd tried to help, only to get no thanks for it. Little did he know Xian Wu was trying to protect him.

The dorm supervisor asked with concern, "Xian Wu, who were those people just now? Did they do anything to you?"

Xian Wu closed his eyes and carefully checked how he felt. Aside from his stomach being a little cold, nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

He probably hadn't been beaten or... assaulted.

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Xian Wu shook his head.

"Good. I'm glad you're all right." The dorm supervisor let out a sigh of relief.

As long as no one died, he considered it all fine. He was just a regular employee and couldn't afford to offend the young masters and misses from those prominent families.

That was why he had only dared bring Zhang Ming and Zhu Jun Xiang over after those people had left the dormitory.

"All right, let me know if anything happens in the future. No one can bully us commoners at Sacred Orchid Academy." The dorm supervisor called out before hurrying away.

The dorm supervisor had only been making polite conversation, but Xian Wu caught on to something.

As long as he didn't leave the academy, even members of the Peak Families couldn't break school rules to go after him.

Zhang Ming closed the dormitory door and turned around, grumbling, "Xian Wu, you sure know how to get into trouble. On the very first day of school, you picked a fight with Xiao Ning'er, upperclassmen, and now those people just now. How are you going to get by at the academy from now on?"
