Chapter 100: Not Over Yet
Egg Spirit Academy is unlike a normal university, both in terms of class structure and teaching methods.
Compared to a university, it’s actually closer to Kangcheng No. 2 High School.
The Four Great Houses are like four classes, except these classes have numerous members spanning multiple grades.
Maybe this is how all Immortal Spirit academies operate?
“The first class of the new semester, and you’re sure you want to skip it?” Zhu Yeqing looked at me sternly. “Also… isn’t it unwise to remove your cast without the doctor’s permission?”
“I have something I need to take care of.”
After finishing the milk in the bag, I stood up and stretched the muscles and bones that had been sealed inside the cast for so long.
My sweat-damp skin was slightly swollen from being soaked for so long.
“What could possibly be more important than the first class of the semester? Even if you’re Xiao Luo Xian, if you’re too rebellious, the teacher will mark you down for it.”
“Sorry, nothing is more important than this.”
Going to school is supposed to help me understand the world’s power system, so my revenge plan can go more smoothly.
But the ultimate goal is still revenge.
And now.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lies before me.
That woman, she’s in Tianhai City!
She doesn’t have Yun Muchen’s strength backing her… at least, there’s no news that she has made any breakthroughs in power.
I bet her combat ability is lacking.
And just now, I left a Divine Sense Mark on her.
Just like last time with the Seven Kidnappers Group, I can lock onto her position through the mark, even teleport directly to her side.
If I can draw away her bodyguards,
Maybe I can directly solve a big problem!
“Damn it,” I pressed my trembling hand down, still shaking from excitement.
The reason I didn’t strike just now was to feign weakness.
In truth, my palm wrapped in bandages had been trembling uncontrollably.
“Don’t go.” Cluru seemed to sense something and pleaded, hugging my arm. “It’s dangerous.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. If I can’t handle an enemy, I won’t make a move.”
“Hey… what are you two even talking about?” Zhu Yeqing was completely lost.
“Kids’ business, adults don’t need to interfere.”
“…”
Just killing one person, finally found the target, I definitely can’t miss this chance.
Of course, before making a move, I should buy another bag of milk.
I think my little stomach still has room.
.
Decision made, I left Cluru and Zhu Yeqing behind and kicked away the wheelchair.
Checked the poison reserves in the leg ring.
Setting off.
.
“I should’ve just cremated that little bastard from the start. Now look, causing all this trouble, and I still have to fake smiles and act nice.”
My cousin changed expression as soon as she returned to the hotel.
“Mom, don’t be mad. She’ll leave Egg University sooner or later. There are tons of tasks in that academy, especially since she’s in Zhuque College.” Yun Muchen forced a smile to comfort her.
“The last time, when the old man wasn’t home, we should’ve drowned that little bastard in the bathtub. I was too soft-hearted, only nearly drowned her, scared the old man would freak out if he saw it… couldn’t be harsher…” Cousin gritted her teeth.
Since Yun Muchen married into the Mu Family, she hadn’t suffered such bitter setbacks in a long time.
She failed to snatch the girl from Egg University, and worse, the student threatened her.
And that little brat… Luo Xian, no idea how her father raised her, always going on about “killing my grandma” and “taking your head off.” Such ill manners!
“Don’t mind how tough they sound. Anyway, Yunxian’s beatings are never going to be recovered this lifetime.” Yun Muchen chuckled. “Remember? When Yunxian tried to sit at the table, we gave him a rabies vaccine, then locked him up with a rabid mad dog…
We just ate outside the cage, watching. Hahaha, that scream still lets me finish a bowl of white rice just thinking about it!”
Recalling those glorious moments, cousin’s lips finally curled into a smile.
“He even wanted to go pay respects to the grandma who cared for him the most. So we tied him to the tombstone and branded his chest with a hot iron. He struggled desperately, pushed back, and ended up toppling the tombstone… hahahaha! The cries were so loud, had me rolling on the floor!” Cousin laughed, slapping her thigh.
“We didn’t kill him at first because we wanted to toy with him. Never thought a big truck almost split him in half and he still survived.” Yun Muchen sighed. “That damn hospital dared to resell the body of a vegetative patient. Don’t they know that’s illegal?!”
“So damn despicable! Is there even justice left in this world? Law?” Cousin’s indignation flared.
“When we dealt with the Mu Family Head, we should’ve shared the poison with him too.” Yun Muchen’s expression darkened.
“Forget it, no use worrying about him. Survive a disaster, there’s always a finishing blow. No rush. They won’t cause waves in front of the Mu Family.” Cousin waved her hand dismissively.
“Let’s just think about Yunxian’s miserable state back then~”
Mother and son chatted happily.
As comrades who shared in the sadistic joy back then, their blood boiled whenever they recalled their achievements on Yunxian.
I listened from the rafters.
Taking a deep breath, I silently recited the Clear Mind Mantra, trying to suppress the memories surfacing in my mind from their words.
Too bad…
If it were truly that easy to suppress,
The Clear Mind Mantra wouldn’t have become my First Immortal Art.
Nor would I have mastered it to such an exceptional degree.
My whole body trembled, and my arm holding the dagger struggled to keep a firm grip on the handle.
Deep breath—exhale—deep breath—
Physical pain means nothing to cultivators. I should think that if it weren’t for the torment by this mother and son pair back then, I wouldn’t have developed the strong willpower needed to endure the hardships of cultivation later on…
I should think that it’s precisely those hardships that shaped me, so whenever I’m trapped in a desperate situation, thinking about how these bastards are still alive in this world drives me to desperately find a way out.
I should focus on the positive influence, think about what I’ve gained, so that when forced to recall those ordeals, my heart can find some comfort.
I should praise the hardships.
To overcome this hurdle.
But…
I can’t.
“Mom, do you remember when we stuck toothpicks into that useless guy’s nails?”
“Remember, remember! What was that for again? I don’t quite recall.”
It was because he knocked over the teacup.
“I forgot, maybe for stealing meat from the dish, who cares~” Yun Muchen laughed. “That time he even knelt down begging for mercy… really spineless! They say a man’s knees are worth gold, but he actually begged us to spare him.”
“Oh, I remember! He cried so loudly, maybe because I dipped the toothpick in chili oil?”
“You really are a genius~”
“Yeah, hahaha—”
