As soon as Zhu Zhuqing said those words, not only Mo Lin, but Qi Ling felt as if everyone's eyes were on her. Some of the male classmates were even banging their heads on the table, looking extremely pained.
Xiao Wu's statement to Qi Ling was already unacceptable to everyone, but now Zhu Zhuqing has also said something like that in public. Qi Ling is about to become the enemy of the entire school!
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Ma Hongjun sighed, "Sigh, I wonder if these people will be so angry they'll jump off the building when Rongrong comes back?"
"This... this is impossible! Sister Qing, you are so pure and innocent, how could you possibly like this scoundrel!"
Mo Lin said in disbelief, "He must have coerced you, right? That must be it."
"Hey kid, don't talk nonsense without evidence! Damaging someone's reputation can have legal consequences!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
"Hmph! I'm not afraid of you. I want to fight you one-on-one!" Mo Lin didn't react to Qi Ling's threat at all. Instead, he walked directly in front of him, put his hands on his hips, and said.
Qi Ling looked at Mo Lin, who was two heads shorter than her, and felt speechless. Until now, she had always fought against people older than herself. Now that she had suddenly encountered someone younger than herself, she really didn't know how to start.
" Mo Lin, are you really going to fight Brother Qi? Brother Qi just beat Tai Long, you're no match for him," Xiao Wu said to Mo Lin. It seems that at least Xiao Wu doesn't dislike him that much.
"What? That guy Tai Long? I'm not afraid of him. He can't even grab the hem of my clothes. What's so great about him?" Mo Lin said defiantly.
"But Brother Qi didn't dodge Tai Long's attacks; he took them all! Do you think your attack power is stronger than Tai Long's?" Xiao Wu reminded him.
"I... I..." Mo Lin immediately felt guilty, "Then at worst, I'll compete with him in other areas, like speed!"
Qi Ling quietly asked Ma Hongjun, who was standing to the side, "Is this kid fast?"
"Soon, besides Zhu Zhuqing, he should be the fastest in the academy," Ma Hongjun said. "Although there are also Soul Elder with Agility Attack System in the advanced classes, none of them are as fast as him!"
"Interesting!" Qi Ling laughed. "Alright, kid, how do you want to compete?"
"It's very simple. If you can touch me within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you win!" Mo Lin said confidently.
Qi Ling raised an eyebrow. "An incense stick's time? That's a long time, can you really hold out?"
"Wait till you catch me before you say that! Martial Soul Possession: Black Jade Brocade-Furred Rat!" Mo Lin said, having already completed Martial Soul Possession, and rushed out in an instant. Qi Ling didn't even get a clear look at what his Martial Soul looked like.
"Wow, that's pretty fast! And his Martial Soul is a rat, yet he likes you Zhu Zhuqing, a cat. Is there something wrong with this kid?" Qi Ling laughed.
Zhu Zhuqing shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know either, but Qi Ling is really fast. If you don't catch up, you might lose."
"Don't worry, the word 'lose' doesn't exist in my dictionary," Qi Ling said confidently. " Martial Soul Possession: Blood Devil Emperor!"
Since it comes down to speed, the Blood Devil Emperor is naturally more useful. When Qi Ling completed the Martial Soul Possession, his noble yet aloof temperament left Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stunned.
"Wow, Brother Qi, you look so good even like this!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
"Really? What do you think, Zhu Zhuqing?" Qi Ling asked with a smile.
"... It looks beautiful." Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and said, blushing.
"Thank you so much. With your words, that brat has no chance of escaping now." After saying this, Qi Ling's figure vanished instantly, as if she had turned into a shadow.
After running out, Mo Lin immediately ran towards his secret hiding place. He had already planned it all out: as long as he hid, and the time was up, Qi Ling would naturally lose.
As Mo Lin hid himself and even began to fantasize about how he would brag to Zhu Zhuqing after winning, Qi Ling's voice suddenly appeared behind him. "Hey? Is this your secret base? How naive."
"Whoa, whoa! What are you doing here!" Mo Lin exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly turned around, only to see Qi Ling behind him, while she lightly tapped her forehead with a finger.
"Gotcha! You lost!" Qi Ling laughed.
"W-What! You cheated!" Mo Lin exclaimed angrily, "How could you have found me! You must have cheated!"
"There doesn't seem to be any need for cheating. The reason I found you is quite simple," Qi Ling said helplessly, "Because I'm faster than you!"
"Impossible! Impossible! I don't believe it!" Mo Lin said, suddenly rushing towards Qi Ling as if he were throwing a tantrum.
Mo Lin's secret base was actually an extremely small room, which was quite in line with the characteristics of his rat Martial Soul. Now that he pounced, Qi Ling was immediately thrown into a panic.
"Hey! You little brat, don't mess around! I'm afraid I'll hit you too hard and hurt you, and then I won't be able to explain it to my master's wife! Ah, you little brat, why are you biting people? Are you really like Haozi?"
After some back and forth, Mo Lin made full use of his small stature and managed to give Qi Ling a few troubles. However, he was ultimately outmatched in strength and was eventually pinned to the ground by Qi Ling.
"Damn it, you little brat, don't push your luck!" Qi Ling said helplessly, but then suddenly paused, "Hmm? Why does it feel so soft? What's that stuff in your chest?"
Qi Ling said rather awkwardly, "Hey, kid, could it be... you're actually a girl?"
Startled by Qi Ling's question, she immediately snapped out of her daze, her face turning bright red as she cried out, "Eek! Indecent assault!"
"Hey, hey, you little brat, don't yell like that! I didn't mean it," Qi Ling said in a flustered manner, but Mo Lin seemed to be stimulated and couldn't stop.
Left with no other choice, Qi Ling covered her mouth and said, "Don't yell, kid! I didn't mean to! Besides, there's really nothing worth touching about you!"
"Listen carefully, I'm letting you go, you're not allowed to scream! Otherwise I'll have to grab you again." Qi Ling said, releasing Mo Lin and getting off her.
Only then did Qi Ling realize that Mo Lin, after being possessed by the Martial Soul, was indeed a girl. It was just that she had mistaken her for someone else because she was too young and had short hair.
After Qi Ling released him, Mo Lin immediately stood up and quickly left. As he left, he said fiercely to Qi Ling, "I'm going to tell the teacher! She won't let you get away with this!"
Watching Mo Lin's rapidly departing figure, Qi Ling helplessly rubbed her forehead and said, "This is really troublesome, Master Liu Erlong's wife, please don't blame me."
