Wang Dong'er watched as the teacher immediately turned to look for things after hearing his words.

She nodded, inwardly approving of his professionalism.

Rustle, rustle—the teacher brought out quite a lot of things.

Seeing that most of them had been kept in relatively hidden places, Wang Dong'er assumed they were rare medicinal herbs or something similar and nodded in satisfaction.

A little expensive was fine. At least it would save her from being extorted by him.

"All right. Here, this is everything."

After completing the transaction, Wang Dong'er carried the medicine outside.

Rustle, rustle.

There was quite a lot of it, with large and small packages in both hands.

The moment she stepped outside, she saw someone.

"Dong'er, I didn't mean to. I just..."

"..."

He had appeared so suddenly that he gave Wang Dong'er a fright. Once she saw who it was, her startled expression instantly turned to anger.

It was all this guard's fault. If not for him, how could she possibly have had to deal with something so disgusting?!

Huo Yuhao thought perhaps it was because he had not introduced himself. Right, he really should introduce himself.

"My name is Huo Yuhao. I live in Freshman Dormitory 109. I came here to..."

"Oh? What does that have to do with me?"

"What..."

The words "nothing to do with you" caught in Huo Yuhao's throat. They really did not know each other right now.

"I was just standing up for justice. I saw him make a move against you..."

Wang Dong'er did not believe that at all. There had been so many people around who had not stood up for justice, yet this Level 11 kid had?

"You were sent by Big Dad and Second Dad to keep an eye on me, weren't you?"

Wang Dong'er narrowed her eyes and looked him over from head to toe. In the end, she confirmed that her senses had not been wrong. He really was just a Level 11 good-for-nothing?

And he looked so frail. She was honestly curious whether he was even a normal man. He was shorter than she was, malnourished, and deficient in vital essence and blood.

It felt like one push would knock him over.

"Huh?"

Huo Yuhao was utterly confused. What did she mean? Sent by Da Ming and Er Ming? How did he not know about that?

Yet Huo Yuhao's bewildered expression and instinctive response sounded to Wang Dong'er like an admission, making her even more annoyed.

"If you're going to send someone to watch me, at least send someone stronger."

"What were you thinking, actually making a move right here at Shrek Academy? If Jiang Mu made a fuss and reported you to the academy, you'd be expelled."

"It would not matter if you were expelled, but you carry the name of my Clear Sky Sect. You're disgracing my Clear Sky Sect."

Wang Dong'er raised a hand and pointed at Huo Yuhao's nose as she scolded him.

"I..." Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.

"Because of your impulsiveness, I now have to treat Jiang Mu's injuries to prevent any accidents. This is all your fault!"

"If it weren't for you, I would never have spoken to that kind of pervert!"

With her arms crossed over her chest, Wang Dong'er did not mention at all that it had been her own bold actions that had given Jiang Mu the chance to extort her.

If they were tracing cause and effect, they had to start earlier. If Huo Yuhao had not suddenly attacked, Wang Dong'er would not have helped him back to the dormitory, would not have leaned against him and fallen asleep, and would not have angrily struck Jiang Mu twice after waking up.

So it was all because Huo Yuhao had acted. The explanation made sense if she thought about it that way. In any case, Wang Dong'er accepted this logic!

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more embarrassed she became. When she remembered that she still had to do that for the remaining six days, her face gradually reddened.

She vented all her anger on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao could not voice his suffering. His expression darkened as though he had eaten shit.

He mumbled incoherently, not knowing what to say. He knew that the current Wang Dong'er was supposed to be a difficult young lady, but was she really this hard to deal with?

More importantly, Jiang Mu was actually using this matter to threaten Wang Dong'er into doing what a pervert would do?

Could it be that he had taken advantage of her!

At that thought, Huo Yuhao's face turned green again.

"Dong'er, did he take advantage of you? Should we tell the teacher?"

"Hmph, how would I explain it? That this young lady's guard sneak-attacked someone because of a misunderstanding, injured him, and then got taken advantage of during the examination?"

"That..."

Huo Yuhao instantly fell silent.

The moment he heard that, he was speechless. His perfect Wang Dong'er could not possibly have been taken advantage of by a little hooligan like Jiang Mu!

Wang Dong'er did not care about Huo Yuhao's reaction at all. Seeing that he had nothing to say, she rolled her eyes.

"Stay away from me from now on. Even if Big Dad and Second Dad sent you, it still won't do. You're a good-for-nothing."

This time, Wang Dong'er did not give him a chance to reply. She turned and left immediately!

"Hey!"

Huo Yuhao raised a hand, wanting to stop her. But the moment he lifted his leg, his vision suddenly went black.

Thud!

"Ha..."

His eyes closed, though he retained consciousness for a brief moment. He breathed heavily as he considered his condition.

What exactly is wrong with me?

Dizziness overwhelmed him, veins bulging on his forehead, while his eyelids felt unbearably heavy. He could not open them at all. His consciousness lasted only a short while; before he could figure anything out, he passed out.

Before losing consciousness, he heard a voice.

"Hey, student? Student?"

"Dong'er..."

Yet Huo Yuhao merely muttered a name before completely losing consciousness.

Wang Dong'er did not see this scene at all, and even if she had, she would not have cared.

In Wang Dong'er's eyes, he had to be beaten into submission before he was worthy of getting to know her further or having any contact with her.

Otherwise, there was nothing to discuss. And with Huo Yuhao's strength, she could not even be bothered to take interest in him, especially since he had caused her so much trouble.

The only reason she had not stabbed him twice more was because she suspected he had been sent by Da Ming and Er Ming.

"Useless. If not for a useless fool like you, how could this young lady have ended up doing something like that?"

Wang Dong'er walked down the road without returning to the dormitory. Right now, she needed time to process everything that had happened.

She came to the riverside. It was the hottest part of the day, and walking alone beneath the shade of the trees was just right for clearing her mind.

"I clearly wanted to make him my lapdog. How did things turn out like this..."

"But?"

Wang Dong'er suddenly recalled the image of him kneeling on the ground and muttered to herself.

Was that really a martial soul?

"That yogurt was so fishy."

Thinking back on it, Wang Dong'er seemed to return to the scene of yogurt splashing across her face.

"Hmph, he even lied to this young lady, saying it could improve my complexion and nourish my beauty. Does he take me for an idiot?"

As Wang Dong'er recalled the scene, she grumbled and complained again, venting most of her emotions.

At last, she had mostly recovered. And overall, she did not seem to dislike him that much.

She took another deep breath.

"Only six days left. At most, twelve more times."

A smile appeared on Wang Dong'er's beautiful face. She patted her cheeks and headed toward the dormitory.

As she passed the plaza, she spotted the posted list. It was already noon, and the classes had been assigned.

Wang Dong'er instinctively ran over to check it.

"She's so pretty."

She did not need to squeeze through the crowd. The moment she stood there with that beautiful face, people instinctively made way for her and kept their distance. Those around her muttered in amazement at Wang Dong'er's appearance.

Wang Dong'er could not even be bothered to glance at them, focusing instead on the class assignment list.

"Class One?"

"What class is that pervert, that bastard, in?"

Wang Dong'er puffed out her cheeks and scanned the list for Jiang Mu's name.

She quickly found him in Class One.

"Hmph, we're actually in the same class!"
