The midday sun beat straight down, and the rippling, crystal-clear pond shimmered like fish scales. The breeze carried its mist through the back window and into the enchanting room.
"Hmph. No one does favors for nothing. Tell me, what are you plotting now?" Chang Ping demanded, tugging on Shen Xiu's red pigtail.
"No, absolutely nothing!" Shen Xiu grabbed Chang Ping's powerful wrist and shook her head frantically.
He'd just been calling her Little Xiu Xiu, and now he was so rough, pulling her hair. What a jerk!
"Impossible! I know you better than you know yourself!" Chang Ping pulled out the Desert Eagle and pressed it against the back of Shen Xiu's head. "I'm not handsome, and I don't have any money. Why would the Eldest Young Lady of a Peak Family willingly sleep with me?"
"Tell me! Why did you deliberately get close to me?" Chang Ping clicked off the safety and slowly squeezed the trigger. "You have three seconds. If you don't come clean, I'll let you see your own brains."
He was in sage mode now, so naturally he wasn't going to go easy on a pretty woman.
Knowing how powerful Chang Ping's weapon was, Shen Xiu trembled like a leaf, her naked body shaking uncontrollably.
Ever since he'd defeated Tie Lang yesterday, the weapon's reputation had spread throughout Saint Orchid Academy. Everyone knew about it.
"Don't! I'll tell you! I'll tell you, okay?" Shen Xiu surrendered. She knew Chang Ping truly cared about her and probably wouldn't shoot, but she didn't dare take the chance. If she lost that bet, she'd die.
Shen Xiu told him everything about the poison, without leaving anything out.
After hearing her out, Chang Ping put away the Desert Eagle, pushed her down onto the bed, and grew grave.
"That Old Monster possessed the Little Maidservant and escaped. Now he's asking around for me..." Fear washed over Chang Ping, and he couldn't help feeling afraid.
Xiangliu was a Spiritual God-level demon beast, one of the most powerful beings in the Tiny World. Even sealed, it still had Legendary-level strength. It was far beyond what he could handle right now.
Chang Ping gritted his teeth. Better to strike first than passively wait for death!
"You and I are in this together now. If I die, you won't survive either!" Chang Ping said gravely, looking at Shen Xiu, who lay sprawled on the bed, her lovely body alluring and sexy.
Shen Xiu nodded, agreeing with him.
"When school lets out this afternoon, come with me to the Sacred Family. I'm going back down into the cavern to check what's going on in there." Chang Ping guessed, "The Old Monster probably only left his soul behind. His body is still there."
As long as they destroyed Xiangliu's physical body, they still had a chance to survive.
The body was the source of its power. Without it, Xiangliu couldn't use even its boundless cultivation. It could only start over in a new, smaller body like Nie Li.
"I'll do whatever you say~" Shen Xiu looked shyly at Chang Ping and pleaded softly, "The poison hasn't completely worn off yet. Help me get rid of it again, okay~"
"What a troublesome woman!" Chang Ping reluctantly agreed.
Time rushed by like a mighty river, and before long it was time for practical class.
After taking attendance, Tie Lang noticed Chang Ping wasn't there.
Remembering yesterday's agreement, he didn't mark Chang Ping absent.
"Why isn't Chang Ping here?" Nie Li asked Lu Piao, puzzled.
"No idea. Maybe he overslept?" Lu Piao shrugged. He wasn't inside Chang Ping's stomach; how was he supposed to know where Chang Ping had gone?
Xiao Ning'er's little ears twitched. She'd heard their conversation.
She guessed Chang Ping had gone to the Trial Ground to roast his sheep testicles.
For someone with such weird tastes, doing something like that wasn't surprising.
"Ning'er, why is your face red?" Ye Zi Yun suddenly asked.
"The sun got to me," Xiao Ning'er replied coldly.
"Could you hold my feet for me?" Ye Zi Yun looked at her hopefully. Today's training exercise was sit-ups.
"I'm busy!" Xiao Ning'er rejected her without mercy, then turned and left without even looking at Ye Zi Yun.
Shen Yue came running over and volunteered, "Zi Yun, if she won't help, I will!"
"No need. Men and women shouldn't touch," Ye Zi Yun said with a smile and shook her head. Only Ning'er and her future husband were allowed to touch her feet. Shen Yue wasn't worthy!
The smile froze on Shen Yue's face as he watched Ye Zi Yun go ask another female student for help.
That bitch. What the hell was she pretending to be so pure for in front of him? He wouldn't touch her stinking feet even if she begged!
Shen Yue snorted and went to find Nie Li, wanting to know what method he planned to use against Chang Ping.
Trial Ground.
Chang Ping moved through the dense green trees, his eyes gleaming as he searched for prey.
The food on the first floor of the cafeteria was free, but it tasted like pig slop—damn near inedible—and there was no meat. Two meals had been enough for him!
"Little sheep, stop hiding. Your king can see you!" Chang Ping muttered softly, like an evil big bad wolf.
Maybe it was because he'd eaten mutton, but he was especially fierce today.
Chang Ping licked his lips. At noon, he'd gotten some money from Shen Xiu and bought seasonings at a shop outside the academy.
The mutton he roasted this time was sure to be delicious.
He hadn't been wandering through the woods long when he found a flock of Horned Sheep—four in all.
Chang Ping gave them ridiculous names: Pleasant Goat, Pretty Goat, Lazy Goat, and Boiling Goat. Lazy Goat was the fattest one.
This time, he didn't use the Desert Eagle. Instead, he took out the Bronze Skinning Knife.
As the saying went, why use a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken?
Mostly, Horned Sheep shot dead with a gun tasted of gunpowder, which ruined the flavor.
"Baa?"
"Baa?!"
"Baa!"
"Baa!!"
The four Horned Sheep spotted the intruder and charged without hesitation.
Chang Ping clenched the skinning knife between his teeth and met them head-on with a two-handed push. Dark Energy surged. With a muffled bang, Pleasant Goat's skull burst, killing it instantly.
By then, Boiling Goat had reached his right side.
Chang Ping reached back and pressed down on Boiling Goat's head, then kicked it in the neck with a "flying kick." The force of over four thousand pounds shattered its cervical vertebrae.
Seeing their companion swiftly crushed, Pretty Goat and Lazy Goat began to retreat.
Chang Ping acted decisively. Grabbing Boiling Goat by the horns, he swung the whole sheep at Pretty Goat and knocked it over.
"Baaa!" Lazy Goat turned and ran.
Chang Ping spat the skinning knife from his mouth into his hand and flung it.
The knife went in through Lazy Goat's back door and out its front.
Lazy Goat slowed down, running slower and slower, until it finally collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.
"I can't keep biting this knife with my teeth." Chang Ping picked up the skinning knife stuck in the ground and stabbed Lazy Goat in the main artery. He used its spurting hot blood to wash the blade clean.
Ding! Killed ten Horned Sheep. Obtained the Horned Sheep racial ability—Berserk!
Chang Ping: ???
