Ning Shu had dropped dead. But in a burst of good fortune she became a task-taker in charge of counterattacking for pitiful cannon fodder.

She encountered all sorts of white lotus flowers, green tea bitches, scheming bitches, by the batch. Does any true beauty still exist in the world!? bellowed Ning Shu angrily. You annoying trash! I'm just here to counterattack, please don't get in the way of me completing my task. Transmigration main character, reincarnation main character. There's only a lazy task-taker, no undestroyable main character halo. Ning Shu had no choice but to painfully gather moral integrity in each of the worlds.

Chapter 1: It was Finally Over

Ning Shu stood next to the hospital bed. A doctor wearing a white coat walked through her to save the girl on the bed.

Ning Shu looked at the girl on the bed. Her face was pale white and she no longer had any hair on her head. She didn't even have eyebrows anymore. She simply lay quietly on the bed.

People looked really funny without eyebrows.

Ning Shu never expected to be worried over eyebrows at this point in time. It seemed that death wasn't that scary or painful after all. Right now Ning Shu didn't feel any pain.

That's correct. Ning Shu was dead. She was standing at the side looking at her own body. She tried to re-enter her body. Even though it was a body that had been tormented by illness to the point that it was a mess, she still wanted to live.

This light and fluttery feeling made Ning Shu feel very unsettled.

At this time, the door to the room opened. A married couple rushed in. Running over, they hugged Ning Shu's body and cried. Following behind them were two men. These were Ning Shu's older brothers.

Ning Shu reached out, wanting to hug her mom, but in the end her hand passed through her body.

"Mom, don't be so sad. Meimei is finally free, she's gone to a different world." Ning Shu's eldest brother supported Ning Shu's mom.

Meimei means younger sister. It can be used both for people that are blood-related to you, and people that are not.

Ning Shu watched them like a spectator. She has been freed. She has lived in the hospital ever since she was fifteen. Every week she had to go through chemotherapy two times. That bone-penetrating pain has already accompanied her for over ten years.

From the very start, her family was already in despair and showered her with heartache-accompanied love. However, as time passed, they visited the hospital less and less. It was to the point that they became numb to the fact that she was ill.

Ning Shu didn't blame them. On the contrary, she felt fortunate that she was born in such a prosperous family and was able to receive treatment. She was satisfied with having lived ten years, even if it was on a hospital bed. It was just that life contained too many regrets.

A smile blossomed on Ning Shu's face. She was very grateful to her family.

Thank you.

Ning Shu's soul grew lighter and lighter, until it finally started floating on its own to some unknown place.

Suddenly, Ning Shu heard a sound. A cool and emotionless voice came from within her soul.

"The soul meets the requirement, locking on to system space."

Immediately following that, Ning Shu felt something cold flow into her soul. Even though she was in this state, she could feel an ice-cold energy explode in her soul.

Under the attack of this power, Ning Shu lost consciousness.

Before she fell unconscious, her last thought was, hopefully this doesn't mean that she can't reincarnate.

…

After an unknown period of time, Ning Shu finally woke up again. She felt very tired and her soul felt heavy. Fatigue of the soul caused people to have a drained and also very panicked feeling.

Ning Shu rubbed her head. It was purely a reflex, but unexpectedly when she touched her head, it felt like she was rubbing cotton.

Ning Shu felt both pleasantly surprised and terrified, completely confused as to what was going on. Her soul actually changed into this texture. She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. However, at the very least it wouldn't be easy for her soul to dissipate like this.

After calming down, Ning Shu started looking around. It was completely white without a single item in sight. There was no sound, no trace of life. It was deathly still, without a thing. It was too quiet, eerily quiet.

Chapter 2: Wait for Fate

Humans have always been frightened of unknown things. Ning Shu also wasn't an exception. Even if she was now a soul, she still felt her hair stand on end facing this kind of situation.

However, for better or for worse she was still alive right now, although it was a different type of 'living.' Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided to stop thinking about it and simply accept what came.

If it was said that the illness brought Ning Shu endless pain and suffering, it also had to be acknowledged that it gave Ning Shu a tenacious mentality. Without a strong mentality, upon facing endless pain and suffering, a person would commit suicide in order to escape the torment.

Ning Shu tried stomping on the thing below her feet. It felt very strange. She bent down and touched it with her hand. She had never seen this kind of thing before.

Ning Shu observed her surroundings and found that she was the only one here. Hence, she gave up on the thought of finding a companion and sat down on the ground. Sitting as if she was about to meditate, she closed her eyes.

In truth, Ning Shu loved life more than anyone else. There was definitely a reason why she was here so she could only wait to see what exactly fate had in store for her.

Ning Shu didn't know if she was just imagining it, but she felt very comfortable sitting this way. That's not right, it should be said that her soul felt very comfortable. Some warm things flowed into her body and made Ning Shu feel a bit airy.

Endless waiting inevitably caused fear. Ning Shu discovered a game to pass the time, and that was mediating and absorbing that unknown thing into her body. Ning Shu didn't know how she was supposed to absorb these things so she could only rely on mediating.

Ning Shu opened her eyes. Her eyes contained surprise and joy as she felt her own body. The reason for the joy was because she had felt her body change a little. Before her body had felt soft like cotton with a very thin texture, but now her body felt slightly more condensed. Of course it was just a little bit but Ning Shu still felt it.

What exactly was this place? It actually had the effect of strengthening souls.

It was way too magical.

"Test results meet the requirement, starting task."

A cold mechanical voice spoke. In this deathly still space, it was abnormally abrupt and strange.

Upon hearing this voice, she felt a chill as if she had heard this voice before. She had heard it right before she fainted.

Ning Shu was cautious in regards to the things she didn't understand. She didn't open her mouth to demand who the person was or to ask what goal they had.

What could other people possibly want her for with her like this?

"Your current number is 2333. Number 2333, do you want to start the task right now?

Ning Shu, for some reason, felt that she was being ridiculed with 2333, this kind of number. Then she heard that some sort of task was about to start. Although she didn't know what exactly that meant, she replied immediately, "Start the task."

Ning Shu had just finished speaking when a projected screen appeared in front of her. On it, her information was displayed.

Number: 2333

Name: Ning Shu

Age: 27

Experience: 0 (0/10000)

Soul: 60

Life: 50

Charm: (?????)

Luck: 20

Mental Strength: 120

Abilities: None

Acquired Titles: None

Upon seeing these stats, Ning Shu had a feeling as if she was playing a game. But… why were there only questions marks for her charm? However, charm was not very important so Ning Shu didn't mind it and asked about other things instead.

"My number is 2333, so does that mean there are people with numbers before that?"

"Player does not have the authority to know." It was the ice-cold voice.

"Then what happens after the experience points reach ten thousand?"

"Player does not have the authority to know."

"Since I'm a player, are there other players?"

"Player does not have the authority to know."

"Why are my charm points unknown?" She probably had the right to know this, right?

The machine voice paused for a moment, before it said, "While Host was alive, no man expressed a favorable opinion or love towards Host. That's why, Host's charm cannot be determined."

Ning Shu: …

Chapter 3: Task-Taker

This world contained many realms, and Ning Shu's task was to enter those realms and fulfill the enstrustor's requests. These entrustors would sacrifice certain things in hopes that their lives would improve.

This was where the task-takers rose to the occasion.

When Ning Shu found out that she could enter other people's bodies, she was very happy. While she worked on completing the task, she could even experience the life of a healthy person and fulfill her last lifetime's regret.

However, the thing that called itself the system poured cold water on her. "You only have five years to do the task. You only have 50 life points. One life point is equal to one year. Once you use up all your life points you'll completely disappear. Of course, you can choose to stay in the task world and spend your entire life there, but afterward that will be it."

Ning Shu nodded to indicate that she understood.

"For the first task I've selected the easiest one from within the system. It's a school campus world. Do you wish to start the task now?" The system's voice was very cold without a hint of emotion.

Every time Ning Shu heard the system make a sound, her entire body would feel a chill. She really didn't like its sound so she immediately replied, "Start the task."

Right after Ning Shu finished speaking, she felt dizzy. She felt as if her entire body had been shoved into a narrow bottle. She couldn't move an inch and felt like she was about to die.

"Beat this damned bitch to death! Does she even look at herself, to actually approach the prince!"

"She sure has thick skin. Does she actually think she's some rich miss? Slut…"

When Ning Shu could finally feel sensations again, she immediately heard a buzzing sound along with the sound of a lot of people shouting. Her body was being kicked. It was as if these people wanted to break her bones.

What kind of situation was this? Didn't the system say that this was the easiest task? Why was she being beat up the moment she was sent over? It was supposed to be an easy task, wasn't it?

Ning Shu opened her eyes. All around were bright, big white legs. From time to time a leg would extend forward and kick her. She could even see these people's underwear when they lifted their legs.

There was a stinky smell on the floor tiles along with the distinctive smell bathrooms had. Ning Shu instantly realized what she encountered. She was being beaten up in the bathroom.

Right now her mind was completely blank. She didn't have time to receive this world's storyline at all. Ning Shu couldn't help but be stunned upon facing this kind of situation.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of Ning Shu and lifted her by her collar. Ning Shu's body involuntarily stood up. She opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.

The person grabbing her collar was a girl. She was wearing a school uniform and a short skirt. Her eyes were filled with disgust and disdain as she looked at Ning Shu. She scratched Ning Shu's face with her long nails as if she wanted to tear off Ning Shu's face.

Ning Shu's body convulsed from pain. She had endured over ten years of torment from illness but this body was not used to pain, so a cry of pain involuntarily escaped.

Upon seeing the pleased expression that emerged in the girl's eyes, Ning Shu's heart chilled. How much hatred was there to make a youthful little lady expose this kind of expression?

This wasn't simple campus violence anymore.

When that girl saw the dull expression on Ning Shu's face, she grabbed her by her hair and smashed her head towards the wall.

Ning Shu had been dizzy in the first place. Now that the person was hitting her head against the wall, her consciousness became even fuzzier. It was to the point that she felt her soul was about to pop out from this body. Ning Shu panicked a little. She couldn't leave this body. If she did, what would happen to her task?

There was no reason to fail the first task just like this. She could instinctively sense that if she failed like this, she may disappear. The person named Ning Shu would cease to exist.

With pure willpower, Ning Shu endured the pain in her body. Perhaps they were bored with her since she wasn't resisting anymore, because those girls finally let her go and left. As they walked by, they stepped on her, causing Ning Shu's body to jerk from pain.

Suddenly, a hard-to-control feeling of being wronged and hatred emerged in Ning Shu's heart, causing the body she was possessing to tremble with the desire to rush up and rip those people to shreds, to let them experience this pain and humiliation.

Ning Shu was shocked by this body's reaction. It was quite a while before she managed to repress this feeling. She got up from the ground, went into the bathroom, and sat on the toilet, completely out of strength.

Chapter 4: Ace Academy

Right now, Ning Shu's entire body hurt. These damned girls really didn't hold back. Ning Shu waited until her emotions calmed down a little before proceeding to receive this world's storyline.

Ace Academy was an aristocratic school. All the people that could attend this school were from wealthy families. It was a gold-plated location for the children of the rich and powerful. There was an absolute hierarchy which was determined each semester by money.

However, one day, a little ugly duckling appeared in this place full of beautiful swans. Her appearance was like a stain on a beautiful painting of luxurious flowers, an existence that wrecked the painting. Hence, this ugly duckling experienced the malice of the world and was bullied terribly.

Every school inevitably had a few of these existences: handsome and rich, seeming to possess all the good things in the world, a prince with a noble family background whose stomps could shake up the world's economy.

Ace also had this kind of prince, it even had three. And these three had unseverable emotional ties to the ugly duckling.

In reality, none of this had much to do with Ning Shu. She wasn't the ugly duckling.

This body's name was Lin Jiajia, she was a sophomore in high school. Her family ran a company. The only reason she had been able to enter Ace, this type of aristocratic school, was completely due to a stroke of dogsh*t luck. As for why so many people were beating her up…

It was because she had offended that ugly duckling. This ugly duckling was originally a female cultivator in a cultivation world. After her body was destroyed by someone, she transmigrated into the ugly duckling's body. Due to the fact that she had cured an illustrious person's illness with spiritual energy, she was able to come to Ace.

The female cultivator didn't care for this body but she had no way to leave it. Her strength had fallen by a great amount and she would disappear if she left this body. Thus, she used a bit of spiritual energy to change this body's essence. The originally gray ugly duckling instantly became a glamorous goddess.

Facing the bullying of the students, the ugly duckling- No, it wasn't suitable to keep calling her ugly duckling anymore. Ling Xue felt that the bullying was very childish and easily resolved it all.

Ling Xue had no intention of standing out in the school and continued to disguise herself with dirt, but this ended up attracting the attentions of the three princes.

The female cultivator had lived for a long time and naturally wouldn't take a fancy to those brats, but she felt no harm in using them to feel superior.

This place wasn't the cruel cultivation world. After Ling Xue relaxed, she was happy to let people pursue her.

Chapter 5: Transferred to the Wrong World

Cul…tivator!? Ning Shu's jaw dropped. Wasn't this supposed to be the simplest world? But there was even a cultivator present. Ning Shu naturally knew what a cultivator was. In the eyes of normal people, cultivators were practically gods.

Such an OP character actually appeared in a school campus world.

Ning Shu no longer harbored much hope towards this task. She was just an ordinary person while the opponent was a cheat-like existence that played betting on stones, established underground societies, and stirred the world with her every move. In the school she was pursued like a goddess, outside of the school she was the queen of the night.

Betting on stones is something that frequently occurs in cultivation novels. It's when people bet on whether the contents of a stone would be high quality or not. In real life it's in regards to jadeite stones, in cultivation novels it's often regarding spirit stones.

Felt like Ling Xue was going to break this world playing with it.

The difference in abilities was too great. Ning Shu suspected that cold system of trolling her. This was a simple task?

Then she looked at the original host's wish: Kick the aloof and arrogant Ling Xue down into the mud, make it so the person she liked, Leng Ao, no longer gets toyed around with by Ling Xue, and punish all the people that helped Ling Xue bully her.

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu truly felt that the task she received was off, it was very very off. Although she was a task-taker, she didn't have any special abilities. In face of true power, everything was fleeting clouds. Strength could destroy everything.

Ning Shu tried calling out in her heart to see if she could contact the system. The original host's desires were seriously too hard, she couldn't help with this counterattack.

Ning Shu knew her own abilities. She would probably be decimated before even reaching Ling Xue.

She treasured her little life ah.

Ning Shu was just trying it out. Unexpectedly, she really made contact with the system.

There was the sound of electricity before the system's mechanical voice appeared. "Why are you in this world?"

Ning Shu puked blood. How would she know why she was in this world?

"This is a mid-level world. What did you come to this world for? You won't be able to complete a mid-level world's task. Oh, it seems like there was a mistake in the transfer process. Yes. There's a bit of a problem with my program, for the time being I can't transfer you back. Since you've taken possession of the entrustor's identity, you still have to continue the task."

The sound of a flowing electric current came again, then the system disappeared. Ning Shu stood dumbfounded. So, her task difficulty had increased by n levels?

Ning Shu suddenly recalled her luck level. Was her luck too low? Was that why this kind of situation occurred? At this rate she'll be trolled to death ah.

However, Ning Shu was no longer afraid. Being backed into a corner caused her resolve to strengthen. She had already died once, so what else was there to be afraid of? Ning Shu felt that, on the contrary, she had benefited in the fact that she had been able to possess a healthy body like this.

Ning Shu didn't know about other things, but enduring patiently was something she was expert in.

As for the earlier incident of violence, it was due to the fact that the original host ran to Leng Ao and said in front of Prince Leng that Ling Xue was involved with someone in a gang, that Ling Xue had a relationship with the boss of a crime syndicate.

She believed herself to be waking Leng Ao up and preventing him from being tricked, but in any case, she bad-mouthed Ling Xue a lot.

In reality, everything the original host, Lin Jiajia said was true. Ling Xue was involved with someone in a gang. She had speaking power within the underground society and her true love was the boss of a syndicate.

Mature, spicy, and ruthless, not to mention skillful and godly good-looking was the type Ling Xue liked.

As for those princes that were pursuing her in school, Ling Xue only saw them as childish little brats and simply played with them a little when she got bored.

Yet it just happened that those three princes liked being teased this way.

When Ling Xue found out that the original host went and bad-mouthed her in front of Leng Ao, she sent someone to teach the original host a lesson. Ling Xue didn't even feel like personally moving to deal with this type of insignificant character, which was what led to the bathroom incident earlier.

This doesn't really matter, but the term 'leng3 ao4' means 'icily arrogant.'

The people that hit her earlier were people that the original host, Lin Jiajia, wanted revenge on as well.

Sigh. The road to completing the heavy task sure was long.

Ning Shu still had no idea how to go about it. Opening the door, she left the bathroom. It was currently class time so there was no one wandering around the campus.

Ning Shu headed towards the nurse's office based on what she remembered. The wounds on this body had to be treated. Nothing was more important than a healthy body. Not to mention, there was nothing else she could do right now either.

The school doctor was a man about twenty years old. He wore glasses that added a refined charm to his handsome face and the large white coat managed to hang on his body in a way that gave off a hint of sexiness.

In short, he was a very attractive man. Just this room full of injured female students – if it wasn't a stomach ache, then it was a sprain ankle; some were even asking the doctor to rub their stomachs because they had cramps – was proof enough for how much the female students liked this man.

Ning Shu's lips twitched as she got in line. She looked at the female student in front of her and saw that hearts were pretty much leaping out of her eyes, she didn't seem to be not feeling well at all. She was probably the only one in this entire room that was actually injured, could they let her go first?

Chapter 6: The School Doctor

Ning Shu leaned against the wall and finally managed to wait until it was her turn. The school doctor glanced at Ning Shu. Seeing her bruised face, shock appeared on his handsome face. It was obvious that he had seen too many people feign illnesses. The sudden appearance of an actual injured person was surprising and new.

Ning Shu pointed at the injury on her forehead and said straightforwardly, "Help me treat this."

As for the injuries on her body, she'll deal with them herself. She thought that the school doctor would be a woman, yet it turned out to be such a handsome man. It was such a waste for him to be a school doctor.

As expected of a place where the female lead was staying. Even the school doctor was such an attractive male.

Taking a cotton swab and dipping it in rubbing alcohol, the school doctor directly jabbed it towards the bruised region on Ning Shu's face without a trace of gentleness. Ning Shu gritted her teeth. Even the school doctor was being so fierce towards her despite there being no enmity between them.

Was the entire school enveloped by Ling Xue's influence?

After that, the school doctor simply bandaged the wound and declared that it was done. "It's done. How did you get injured?"

Her forehead was bleeding and that swollen, yet this was all he did to treat it. As a patient that has stayed in the hospital for over ten years, she felt that this doctor's attitude was clearly being disrespectful towards life and irresponsible.

"This is it?" Ning Shu spoke up about it after all. She pointed at her forehead which was swollen to the point it could be a horn. She was very dissatisfied with this crude treatment. Seriously, nothing was going well.

The school doctor pushed up his glasses. His eyes shot out a light that gave people a very sinister and dark feeling as he asked mildly, "Then how do you want me to treat it? Wrap up your entire body?"

This school doctor position of his was pretty much decoration. Which of the students in this school actually needed a school doctor? All of their families had specialized doctors, yet he suddenly encountered a student that actually needed a doctor. The school doctor looked at Ning Shu with his eyebrows raised.

Ning Shu was tongue-tied. His confident and justified tone made it seem as if she was the one causing a fuss out of nothing.

She had only transmigrated over for a few moments, yet she felt like her past worldview had been completely smashed. The little ladies in school could be so fierce. The school doctor that worked at school could be so arrogant, not even worried that the school would fire him.

Ning Shu didn't know what to say. She really didn't have anything that she needed to say to him either, so she got up and made to leave. Right now her thoughts were filled with the task. Even if the task was difficult, she still had to do her best to complete it.

Chapter 7: Throwing Stones

Ning Shu had no words left to say about the school doctor's arrogant and self-righteous attitude.

She simply walked out with gauze wrapped around her forehead. This attracted the doctor's interest and he kept watching her until her figure was out of sight.

Ning Shu returned to the classroom based on the original host's memories. In truth, she was very moved to see the classroom. She had been staying in the hospital ever since she was fifteen, so she never had the chance to go into a classroom after that.

However this moment of excitement was instantly extinguished. Ning Shu was about to head in when a teacher wearing glasses blocked her way.

"Lin Jiajia, you skipped class and purposefully arrived late, so you don't have to attend this class, just stand at the door." Mrs. Liang spoke mildly but her gaze revealed disdain. "Don't disrupt others in their learning."

Ning Shu was very unhappy but she knew that she didn't have the power resist, so she obediently stood at the door. Mrs. Liang gave a humph. She was the image of a mean-spirited middle-aged woman, nothing like an engineer of the human soul.

'Engineer of the human soul' is a phrase describing teachers as they shape the type of people children become. They're supposed to be kind and wise role models.

Ace was an aristocratic school, so the status of teachers within the school weren't even as high as that of the students. Moreover, these students were not people the teachers could afford to offend.

Currently, she was someone everyone in Ace could yell at, so Mrs. Liang naturally joined in on throwing stones at the person who fell down the well. By doing this, she could curry favor with the three princes who were god-like existences within the school.

Lin Jiajia's memories showed that back then, when the entire school was bullying Ling Xue, Mrs. Liang had made things difficult for Ling Xue at every turn. However, when Ling Xue reversed her circumstances, Mrs. Liang immediately changed her attitude and started currying favor with Ling Xue.

This was what an opportunist was like.

Ning Shu stood in the hallway. She could hear the whistles and laughter coming from the classroom. Some people even stood up to look at her with disdainful and mocking gazes.

Ning Shu: …

What exactly did the original host do to make these people hate her so much? It was to the point it seemed as if she had murdered their fathers. Ning Shu reexamined Lin Jiajia's memories. She didn't seem to have done much of anything? All she did was cause trouble for Ling Xue like crazy.

Before she knew it, it seemed like everyone hated her.

Ning Shu was speechless. In this world, Ling Xue played the absolute leading role, and these worlds all revolved around the main lead. Ling Xue only need to move a finger and countless people would scramble to blindly worship her. This wasn't charm anymore, it was terrifying.

How would this world end up?

Ning Shu felt that she was being overly meddlesome. She didn't even have the outlines of a plan for completing her current task, yet her thoughts had ran off to worry about humanity and the world.

Ning Shu's legs hurt a bit from standing so she stood on one leg, switching legs from time to time. The bell that announced the end of class finally rang, but before Ning Shu could move, a swarm of people rushed out from the classroom and surrounded her.

These were the people that had beaten Ning Shu up in the restroom. An Rong was the girl who had smashed Ning Shu's head against the wall. She was currently chewing gum. She lifted her chin and looked down at Ning Shu. With a strange tone, she said, "You actually dared to come to class? Looks like you don't have much of a long term memory."

Ning Shu's body trembled. This body was afraid of this person. In the story, this girl named An Rong acted as Ling Xue's lackey and beat the original host up so much that she was bruised all over every single day.

Resentment and fear arose in her heart. If it was said that Ling Xue was the person the original host hated most, it had to be said that the original host hated An Rong no less. After all, An Rong had personally done many things to the original host.

"Prince Leng is coming, Prince Leng is coming…"

Chapter 8: Prince Leng

The sound of girls shrieking filled the surroundings. Both sides of the hall were filled with girls but a path appeared in the middle. Three princes that brought their own glow-emitting devices walked towards Ning Shu's classroom. Like stars revolving around the moon, the surroundings were filled with the shrieks of excited girls.

Ning Shu's gaze focused on the person that was at the very front. He was tall with a cold expression on his face, but this coldness contained a sort of immaturity that made him seem like a rebel. He seemed noble and aloof, and at the same time, haughty and cool.

Ning Shu could feel her heart pounding, her face was even flushed. Ning Shu indicated that this was simply the body's reaction, it had nothing to do with her.

An Rong who was originally throwing her weight around immediately became a sweet little girl again upon seeing the three princes. The domineering air disappeared without a trace as if she was an entirely different person.

All the surrounding girls were blushing as well. It didn't matter what type the girls liked, whether it was aloof, passionate, or elegant; all the possible characteristics were present among the three princes.

A bitter and resentful thought emerged in Ning Shu's heart. They're all vixens, these damned vixens!

Black lines emerged on Ning Shu's forehead. How much did the original host like Leng Ao? Even when offering her own soul in order to have a better life, she didn't forget to save Leng Ao from Ling Xue's charm.

"Prince Leng, you're here for Ling Xue, right? Ling Xue's in the classroom, I'll help you call her," said An Rong excitedly. Then she rushed into the classroom to call Ling Xue.

Forgot to mention that the original host was actually classmates with Ling Xue. What ill fate ah.

Ling Xue already knew about the situation outside. When she thought about the fact that she, a cultivator, actually had to go outside to see these ordinary people, she felt irritated. However, she reminded herself that these little kids were capable of helping her deal with some small problems.

They could allow her to live comfortably in the school. Sometimes influence was simply that convenient. Just a sentence from Prince Leng was enough. It was easier than cake for her to make things difficult for someone.

Thus Ling Xue got over the feeling of annoyance. The princes that all the girls in the school liked actually liked her. Though Ling Xue was a cultivator, she was also a woman and she was even vainer than most women.

Ling Xue smiled, then walked out of the classroom. Flipping her hair back with her hand, she gave a slight smile. Everyone looking at Ling Xue at that moment felt enchanted as if sweet-scented flowers were falling from the sky.

When Ning Shu saw Ling Xue, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration. As expected, she was a remarkably beautiful woman. Her features were exquisite and noble, yet also strangely friendly and made people want to get close to her.

Even Ning Shu felt an urge to get closer to Ling Xue when she saw her, as if Ling Xue was the person she knew the best, the person she loved the most.

Ning Shu was inwardly shocked. What was this? The main character halo was actually that powerful? Ning Shu carefully thought about it. It was probably due to spiritual energy.

Ling Xue was a cultivator who absorbed the world's spiritual energy. Spiritual energy was something that the body had to get close to in order to absorb. Human bodies instinctively crave spiritual energy, which led to this feeling of wanting to get close to Ling Xue.

Ning Shu's line of thought then got to the original host. Her zealous love for Leng Ao had actually forcefully blocked the effect of the main character halo and her body's thirst for spiritual energy.

Ling Xue took in these people's captivated expressions – even the cool-tempered Leng Ao was stunned – and felt very pleased. The spiritual energy she used to transform this body wasn't sacrificed in vain.

Things were very difficult for women in the cultivating world she used to live in. There were not a lot of female cultivators that had been able to climb to the top using their own strength. Most of them relied on men and became human cauldrons. However, these men were currently so captivated by her charm that they couldn't extricate themselves.

This article has a very good explanation of what is meant by using female cultivators as 'cauldrons.'

Chapter 9: Pink Skeleton

Ling Xue looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her, except for Ning Shu who had her head lowered.

She knitted her brows unhappily. This Lin Jiajia always caused her trouble, but she only had to complain about it a little and An Rong would immediately bring people to deal with her.

Ning Shu lowered her head, suppressing her impulse to grab Leng Ao and shake him awake.

Ning Shu felt that she was too weak. She kept being influenced by the remnant feelings in this body and had to use a lot of effort in order to suppress those feelings. She knew that she couldn't allow herself to be influenced by the original host's emotions, because if she did, how would she be any different from the original host? She had to stay calm.

At this time, she suddenly felt a cold gaze shoot towards her. Ning Shu lifted her head and met with Ling Xue's gaze. What kind of gaze was it? It was cold, detached, and aloof, as if she was looking at an ant.

Ning Shu was puzzled. She was hiding at the side and wasn't causing trouble right now, why was the main lead looking at her?

Ning Shu didn't dare to confront Ling Xue right now as the difference between their abilities was too great, it was like the rift between heaven and earth. She could only plan quietly and avoid disturbing the tiger. If she ended up provoking the tiger, she'd be chopped right up and thrown into the river for the fishies to eat.

That's right, the female lead was precisely this fierce and ruthless.

Leng Ao saw that Ling Xue's gaze was directed at Ning Shu so he also looked towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu's body immediately started trembling from excitement.

Ning Shu: …

It was just a glance, what was this body being so excited for? Ning Shu wasn't the original host and wasn't affected by Leng Ao's instant-kill good looks. To Ning Shu, who had already died once, this guy was just a pink skeleton.

Pink skeleton is a person that's pretty on the outside, but not necessarily so in the inside.

Leng Ao looked at Ning Shu and knitted his brows. Strong disgust surfaced in his eyes. It was clear that he had recalled who she was. He didn't have a trace of a favorable opinion towards this Lin Jiajia who was always trying to hang onto him. He felt that she was disgusting and had said so casually, then the entire school started bullying her.

Who did she think she was? And she even told him to stay away from Ling Xue, she sure didn't know her own place.

He sensed her gaze. Eh? Why was her gaze so clear? In the past it was disgusting, filled with what she believed to be deep love, but right now there was nothing in her eyes at all. She looked at him as if she was looking at a stranger.

Leng Ao sneered. She was trying the ploy of 'capture by letting loose' to gain his attention? How childish.

Leng Ao turned around to look at Ling Xue. His eyes were full of gentleness, yet he spoke like a tsundere, "Hey woman, my birthday's this weekend. You're coming to my dinner party, right?"

Ling Xue wasn't interested in some birthday party, right now she was busy with expanding her territory. Speaking of that- Ling Xue ground her teeth. She had actually encountered an obstacle.

She had been relying on her cultivation. Her body had been modified by spiritual energy and was completely different from those of normal people, yet that man had actually not been at a disadvantage when fighting with her. It made Ling Xue depressed. At the same time, she felt a desire to subdue him.

Leng Ao's expression was a little nervous when Ling Xue didn't speak. He also felt a little hurt, but he didn't show it. He simply lifted his chin and said, "I won't let you off if you don't come."

How childish ah. Ling Xue couldn't help but think of the man that she had exchanged blows with. Cold, ruthless, hot, and most importantly, he was very capable. Moreover, his gaze scorched when he looked at her, and it also carried a bit of an ambiguous flavor. The moment Ling Xue recalled his gaze, her heart would start beating out of control.

All women liked being subdued by a strong man, especially Ling Xue who had come from the cultivating world. To her, ordinary people were just ants.

However… Ling Xue saw the nervousness and hope in Leng Ao's eyes and felt that it was really enjoyable to be able to dictate people's emotions like this.

Ling Xue liked this world. Although there was barely any spiritual energy, it was also very different from the cultivation world. Ling Xue felt that she was at the summit of this world, and it was a very refreshing feeling.

"I'll go, and I'll prepare a gift too," said Ling Xue calmly. There was not a trace of a ripple in her emotions, no trace of being overwhelmed by favor from a superior.

A smile immediately appeared on Leng Ao's face, however, he still kept his chin lifted in a tsundere manner. "At least you know some tact."

Chapter 10: Purpose of Leng Ao's Existence

Ning Shu was pretty tired of watching this whole scene. She didn't feel that Leng Ao's tsundere personality was cute at all, she just felt that he was too self-important. The way he looked down on people and acted as if he was giving alms to the poor made people's hands itch.

She felt that there was no point being concerned about this kind of person who couldn't even differentiate good from bad.

It was clearly a school campus world, yet the main female lead was too OP, so the aloof prince that all living things bowed to became a supporting male lead while the other two princes changed directly into side character Ns.

Ning Shu suspected that Leng Ao's entire existence was for the sole purpose of setting off the male lead's mature charm.

The moment Ning Shu made the decision to not care about Leng Ao, the body she was possessing started resisting her thoughts and even started to reject her soul.

She was alarmed and hastily repeated in her heart: I'm here to save Prince Leng, save Prince Leng, save Prince Leng…

The body's remnant emotions only calmed down after quite a while.

Ning Shu looked towards the sky, speechless. In a stroke of bad luck she had been transferred to this world. Her tasks were practically impossible to complete, and now the remnant emotions in this body kept causing trouble.

Ning Shu felt an urge to face the wind and shred tears. How could she increase her luck points? How could she increase moral integrity?

Leng Ao passed by in front of Ning Shu. He slanted a glance at her, then stopped. He towered over her as he looked down at her slightly twisted face.

Ning Shu didn't know what was going on and blinked as she looked at Leng Ao.

Leng Ao looked at her eyes. They were very clear, clear to the point that his silhouette was reflected, to the point that one could get lost in the calmness of those eyes.

Immediately afterward, Leng Ao realized that his thoughts were off. She was just a love-struck fool. She had always kept bothering him like a nutjob and always went on about how he was being deceived by Ling Xue. Was Ling Xue someone a nobody like her could slander?

"Don't appear in front of me again. I won't ever like you, you should just give up. If you say bad things about Ling Xue again, I'll make you regret it." Leng Ao's tone was callous. Ning Shu had no doubt that he was serious.

This was the part of the task that Ning Shu was most depressed about. The original host clearly had deep feelings towards Leng Ao and insisted on making him turn around and see that the shore was behind him. But Ning Shu's opinion was: please, could you stop kicking up trouble?

Ning Shu looked at Leng Ao's arrogant face, wait no, at his chin. The guy was seriously too tall. Ning Shu tilted her head back, enduring the sharp pain from her heart.

Leng Ao saw that her face had abruptly lost color and turned pale. He felt no sympathy, on the contrary, he felt pleased at having helped Ling Xue vent some anger.

After saying these cold-hearted things, Leng Ao left without paying even the slightest attention to the damage his words had dealt on girl.

The mocking gazes of the people around, their sneers and laughter, stabbed Ning Shu like needles.

What an egoistic person. He lived completely inside his own world. Ning Shu really didn't understand why the original host liked a person like Leng Ao so much.

Was it because of his looks or because of his family background? From Ning Shu's point of view, Leng Ao was just a person that did whatever he pleased, relying on the fact that everyone liked him. What part of a person like this was cute?

Chapter 11: Father Lin

Ning Shu's heart was numb, numb from pain. She really hated being influenced like this by these kinds of emotions, it was really annoying.

Ling Xue laughed slightly, probably due to the fact that Leng Ao was trying to please her. She slanted a glance at Ning Shu as she walked past. An elegant fragrance drifted over. Ning Shu sniffed, it smelled really nice.

She was really an attractive woman. Ning Shu didn't deny that Ling Xue was attractive. If she wasn't, she wouldn't have been able to captivate the male lead, so many supporting male leads, and the countless little brothers that served her.

Ning Shu couldn't quite sit still with everyone constantly looking at her. When classes were finally over and she left the school, she saw a driver waiting at the school entrance. When the driver saw Ning Shu, he immediately opened the car door and said, "Miss, Master is waiting for you."

Master refers to the master of a household. Basically the male authority figure in a household.

Ning Shu's brows raised as she looked at all the private cars parked by the entrance. She was finally getting a feel for why Ace Academy was called a school for the aristocracy.

She picked out the identity of 'Master' from her memories. He was this body's father. In reality, Lin Jiajia felt very inferior. Her family had established themselves by doing retail. Her father did count as a wealthy and influential person, but in the eyes of genuine aristocratic families that had inside information, her family was just an unsophisticated upstart. That was why it was said that Lin Jiajia had only been able to enter Ace Academy due to dogsh*t luck.

These people had already forgotten that Ling Xue's family background couldn't even compare to Lin Jiajia's. All they knew was that Lin Jiajia was an existence everyone currently hated.

Lin Jiajia's situation was much worse than Ling Xue's used to be. Not everyone was an ugly duckling that could become a swan.

This body's father had sent her into Ace Academy for the sake of having her make connections with these aristocrats. Ace Academy contained the younger generations of families influential in the business world and in the political sector. Gaining a connection to any random person in Ace Academy would help the business.

However, Lin Jiajia actually became the enemy of the entire school.

Aiy, it was so complicated. Ning Shu sighed.

Aiy is an onomatopoeia for a sigh

Ning Shu had just stepped into the living room when she met with a pelt of slaps. There was a lot of force behind the slaps, it was clear that the person wasn't holding back at all.

Fuck, enough! How many times did people need to hit her a day? Ning Shu was practically about to burst with rage. Were all the people in this world mentally ill? Were they incapable of talking with their mouths!?

"What's with that look?" Father Lin saw his daughter looking at him with a dark expression in her eyes and was stunned for a moment. However, immediately afterward, he became even more angry. Pointing at Ning Shu, he shouted, "The Lin family provides you with food and shelter, and gave you a life other people wouldn't have the chance to enjoy their entire lifetime. Yet when we sent you to make some connections, you decided to go and offend everyone at the school."

"Do you know the identities of the people in this school? What's in that head of yours, dogsh*t? Do you even look at how you act? You feel like you're a match for Leng Ao? The person has already told you not to appear in front of him. Your actions have already affected the company. Lin Jiajia, haven't you messed around enough!?"

"I didn't sent you to Ace to cause me trouble and make the company lose money. You can't even do a single thing right."

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu didn't have the chance to say a single word before Father Lin started going on a tirade.

Ning Shu moved her head a little. Her head kept buzzing, she had definitely gotten a cerebral concussion from being hit.

He was truly a top-class scumbag dad ah.

Ning Shu was starting to feel sympathy for the original host. The original host's life was already this miserable, yet she still didn't forget about saving Prince Leng. Ning Shu really wanted to leave this world. These people's behaviors were way too ineffable.

Chapter 12: Kicked Out

Father Lin rambled on about a lot of stuff. When his mouth got dry, he lifted a cup of tea and took a drink. He saw that Ning Shu had her head lowered silently and couldn't tell if she had been listening to him or not. Then he thought about how things hadn't been looking well for the company. It seemed like the company was about to be driven to bankruptcy by this daughter who only brought bad luck.

Inspectors would come to the company every day. For a while it would be about taxes, then about formalities. In any case, they kept coming for all sorts of reasons and Father Lin was practically about to be driven crazy.

Lifting the teacup, he threw it towards Ning Shu. After being hit for no reason earlier, Ning Shu had kept an eye on Father Lin's movements. The moment she saw him move, she dodged. The teacup instantly hit the floor and shattered.

Father Lin pointed at Ning Shu with one hand while covering his chest with his other hand. He looked as if he was about to have a heart attack. In the end, he revealed a helpless and pained expression as if he was suffering but couldn't do anything about it.

Ning Shu: What was going on now?

"Jiajia, you should leave the Lin family. This is just a temporary measure. After some time and these events pass, Father will bring you back into the family."

"Jiajia, Father loves you, but Father really doesn't have any other way. Jiajia, don't blame Father, alright?"

Ning Shu stammered, "F… Father, what do you mean?"

A bad feeling was emerging in Ning Shu's heart. She hoped it wasn't what she was thinking.

Her moral integrity wasn't that bad right? Wasn't 20 points of luck a little too low?

In gaming, if you encounter bad rng (bad luck), people would joke that your moral integrity is lacking or poor, because good people have good karma.

"From now on, you aren't the Lin family's daughter anymore." Father Lin looked at Ning Shu with a pained expression. "Don't worry, Father will welcome you back."

If it weren't for the slaps earlier, Ning Shu would have believed this man. Right now, what he was doing was sweeping her out the door and breaking all ties?

Ning Shu felt that she had complicated things. She was clearly here to counterattack for the original host, yet she had ended up being chased out of the family. Was she a little too weak?

Ning Shu said without hesitation, "Father, I believe you." Rather than believe you, it would be better to believe that a female pig could climb a tree.

Father Lin loosened a breath in relief when he saw that Ning Shu didn't cause a big fuss. He felt that she was still a rather clever and lovable daughter, she was just a bit dumb. Who in Ace Academy didn't have a high status? Any random student was a person with great influence and hidden power, yet she actually went and disturbed Leng Ao. Did she know who Leng Ao was?

It wasn't wrong to have ambition, but if you tried to reach for things that were set too high, you'll fall to your death.

Father Lin had ambition as well, but he still went step by step. However, due to this daughter, his company now struggled to make progress. If things kept going on like this, he would really end up bankrupt.

Ning Shu went to Lin Jiajia's room to pack. She packed all the clothes in the original host's closet, regardless of what season it was for, not leaving a single garment behind.

Ning Shu didn't believe a single word that old fox said. As for what he promised about welcoming her back to the family, Ning Shu just treated it as fart.

Ning Shu, who had stayed in the hospital for so many years, understood things like this too well. She had seen too many people act for the sake of their own benefit. Key moments in human lifetimes – their birth, their process of getting old, when they got sick, and when they died – occurred in the hospital.

Although Ning Shu had never stepped into society, she had seen all the attitudes of the world in the hospital.

For the sake of benefit, the Lin family had abandoned their daughter.

Ning Shu felt bad for the original host. Gauze was wrapped around her head in such an obvious manner, yet Father Lin, despite all he said about how 'Father loves you,' didn't even notice this big wound. He even added injury to injury, and kicked her out without asking a thing.

Ning Shu swept all the cosmetics and jewelry boxes on the dressing table into the suitcase, then packed all the name-brand bags as well. She could exchange them for a bit of cash if times ever got difficult.

Chapter 13: Hidden Task Triggered

Ning Shu finished packing, ending up with two large suitcases. Pulling the suitcases, she opened the door and encountered a woman leading a boy that looked about seven years old.

Ning Shu checked her memories. They were the original host's mother and younger brother. This little brother was younger than the original host by almost ten years and was the precious jewel of the entire family. Even the original host, Lin Jiajia, had always given this younger brother everything he wanted and loved him dearly. This was due to the fact that her parents would often tell her that siblings must love each other, and that even after she got married she would still have to rely on her family's influence.

Though it stemmed partially from selfish motives and also from the fact that they were related by blood, Lin Jiajia truly did treat this younger brother sincerely well.

However, Ning Shu was just a stranger. As a spectator, she saw that this family only treated this little kid well. Towards their daughter, they viewed her as a commodity that costed money and only treated her as a tool.

When she was being kicked out, the original host's mother had stayed inside her room. She not only did not come out and stop the father from kicking their daughter out, even now she didn't bother to urge Ning Shu to stay.

Mother Lin took out a thick envelope and said, "This is the money Mother prepared for you. In the future, you'll have to live on your own and fend for yourself. This money will probably be enough for you to use for a while."

Ning Shu silently took the envelope and watched as the mother and son pair went into their room. She felt very unsatisfied ah. They didn't even bother to fake some tears as a gesture.

It couldn't be that the original host wasn't of the Lin family and wasn't this couple's biological daughter, right?

"Ding. Hidden storyline has been triggered. The riddle of the original host's identity. Storyline: The Little Tadpole Seeking Her Mother. Do you accept?"

The cold mechanical voice abruptly appeared in Ning Shu's head and the task was actually to help find the original host's biological parents! The original task was already difficult enough, what the hell was popping up now?

"Do you accept the task of discovering true identity?"

"No." Ning Shu rejected it without even considering it. Things were already very messy, and now the system wanted her to find the original host's biological parents? She only had five years to complete her task. The longer she stayed in this world, the more of the life points would be used up. If all the points ended up being used up, she'd really vanish like smoke in the air.

The sea of people in this world was boundless, how could it possibly be easy to find a person?

"Are you certain that you wish to accept the task of discovering true identity?"

"Yes."

"Task Storyline: The Little Tadpole Seeking Its Mother, start."

"What!!?" shrieked Ning Shu. When did she agree to start the task? She didn't even accept the task!

The system was too dirty, to force people like this. How could it force people to buy things like this!?

As a pitiful child that only had twenty points of luck, even the system became mean and was bullying her.

With a dejected expression, Ning Shu shoved the envelope into the suitcase and went downstairs carrying the two large suitcases.

Downstairs, Father Lin saw Ning Shu's dejected, blank, and helpless expression and made an expression full of affection as he said, "This is just a temporary measure. Father will definitely welcome you back soon."

Ning Shu didn't feel anything seeing his phony act. The original host wasn't his daughter, but he had raised the original host and allowed her to live a well-off life. Although it was with the motive of using her, Ning Shu couldn't really feel hatred towards him.

This body as well. When it realized that it wasn't the biological daughter, it had actually relaxed. The people who get used have their own value. Inevitably, something had to be sacrificed in order to live a wealthy life, spend money like water, and enjoy the things that others wouldn't ever have the chance to their entire lives.

Though this body harbored some complaints, it didn't feel hatred.

Ning Shu sighed in relief. Luckily no strange task like getting revenge on Father Lin and Mother Lin showed up.

She didn't feel like faking affection with Father Lin so she lifted the suitcases and walked out the door. She called a rental car, then found a hotel to spend the night in.

Chapter 14: You're Just an Orphan

The next day, Ning Shu rented an apartment near the school. The apartment was very small, but it was enough for her to live in. She moved her things into the apartment, then carefully cleaned all the nooks and corners.

Ning Shu was only satisfied when the house was practically sparkling. She stood with her hands on her waist, sweaty all over. Sweating like this felt really good. Last lifetime, her illness had ruined her body so much that she couldn't even walk and could only lie on the bed every day. She couldn't even compare to a disabled person.

Ning Shu bounced around a little. What a healthy body!

Having found a place to stay, she headed to school the next day. All the task objectives were at Ace Academy, if she didn't go to school, how would she complete the tasks?

However, the moment Ning Shu walked into the school, she discovered that everyone was looking at her weirdly and kept pointing at her. When she approached them, the students would scramble away as if she carried the plague.

Some people were actually exaggeratedly covering their noses. Ning Shu lifted her hand and sniffed. There didn't seem to be any smell on her ah?

When Ning Shu walked into the classroom, the entire class immediately burst out laughing at her, causing Ning Shu to be completely baffled.

An Rong walked to Ning Shu and towered over her. Her expression full of disdain, she said, "Lin Jiajia, you actually still dare to come to class? Your skin must be made of iron."

As An Rong spoke, she reached out to tug Ning Shu's face. Ning Shu dodged and said coldly, "Keep your hands to yourself."

This girl didn't have any education at all. Fortunately etiquette was a required course for all Ace Academy students.

An Rong didn't expect that this wretch who she had always been able to hit as she pleased would actually dare to dodge. Her face twitched and she swung the newspaper in her hand towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu dodged, then picked up the newspaper from the floor to read it.

Printed as earth-shattering news on the newspaper was the information Father Lin had announced. He had severed all relationships with his daughter. Lin Jiajia was no longer the Lin family daughter and had nothing to do with the Lin family. In brief, it was as final as humanly possible.

"You're now just an orphan, yet you still have the face to come to school? Ace Academy isn't a welfare agency," sneered An Rong.

The class burst out laughing again. As Ning Shu listened to the ear-piercing laughter, she felt as if her worldview was about to shatter. She had read that junior high schoolers were confused about emotions, but the emotions in high school were the most pure. In high school, no thoughts of benefits were mixed into relationships and it was completely different from the careful relationships in college in which people had to take into consideration which connections were useful.

However, right now she was seeing a group of high school students using venomous words and malicious actions towards a weaker person.

Ning Shu had forgotten that Ace Academy was a mini-society and was even crueler than society. All the students here were people that stood at the very top of the pyramid, people that the ordinary masses could never hope to reach.

Ning Shu's greatest mistake was that she was weak. As an abandoned chess piece that had even been discarded by family, she truly didn't have the qualifications to stay among them.

Ning Shu folded up the newspaper and placed it in her bag. Then, ignoring all the disdaining gazes, she sat down at her seat.

When An Rong saw that Ning Shu didn't react, she felt like she had punched cotton and felt very dissatisfied. She glared at Ning Shu, sending the message, 'you just wait!'

Speaking of which, it really was an ill-fated relationship. The original host's seat was actually right behind Ling Xue's. However- Ning Shu looked at her desk. It was full of crisscrossing scars and beyond recognition, the result of someone using a knife to slash at it. The desk was even missing a leg.

These little devils.

Chapter 15: If She Could Cultivate…

Ning Shu held onto the desk with one hand to prevent it from falling. Her eyes were mosquito coils as she watched the blue-eyed, blond teacher give the lesson.

confused emoticon

From start to finish, the entire course was in English. Ning Shu couldn't understand a word of it. As someone that had been in the hospital since middle school, she expressed that she only knew a few simple words.

Ning Shu looked around and found that she was the only one that looked lost. She then shifted her line of sight to the main lead-sama's back. It was just her back, yet it still seemed so peerlessly magnificent.

Using the Japanese suffix -sama to indicate the similar Chinese honorific that shows respect to a superior or powerful person.

Ling Xue's keen senses told her that someone was watching her. She turned around and met Ning Shu's gaze.

Ning Shu was alarmed, but since she had already been caught, she decided to just keep staring confidently.

Ling Xue was irked by the way Ning Shu dared to look straight at her. She felt as if she was being provoked by an ant. In the cultivation world, cultivators could start fighting due to a single glance. Ling Xue currently felt offended by Ning Shu.

Her gaze chilled as she recalled how this woman, Lin Jiajia, had gone around talking about her and bad-mouthing her. She had even tried to make Leng Ao stay away from her.

Ling Xue smiled coldly. It had always been the case that she would throw things away, never the other way around. Ever since coming to this world, Ling Xue has become even more arrogant. Even when she was simply sitting in the classroom, she emitted an unyielding aura.

Perhaps other people took this to be strong self-confidence. That was why Ling Xue had been able to push all the ladies with impressive family backgrounds out of the way to become the unshakeable goddess of the school.

Ning Shu was angered by Ling Xue's gaze that seemed as if she was looking at an ant. However, she simply lowered her head and avoided that murderous gaze. Right now, she couldn't afford to get into a direct confrontation with Ling Xue.

Ning Shu thought about the task. She had to make the aloof Ling Xue fall down into the dirt. Didn't that mean she had to start with changing the students' impression of Ling Xue?

That she had to make the goddess, who everyone pursued, become spurned like her and become someone everyone hated?

That was easier said than done though. Ning Shu had no idea where to start. As of now, the female lead has probably encountered the male lead and was going through the mutual love and murder stage. A while later the 'people of talent appreciate one another' development will occur. At that time, Ling Xue's influence would have increased even more and the task would become even more difficult.

Ning Shu massaged her head. This task was pretty much like striking a stone with an egg, it seemed impossible no matter how she looked at it. If she was capable of cultivating as well then she could just beat the crap out of her. It'd be direct and efficient.

This would directly destroy the thing that Ling Xue was relying on. What Ling Xue was relying on was the fact that no one else in this world could cultivate.

Cultivation… That's right, she could ask the system if she could get a cultivation item. There weren't a lot of spiritual energy in this world, so it was likely that Ling Xue wasn't very strong. If she could cultivate, maybe she'd have a chance.

"System, can I get a cultivation manual?" Ning Shu called out to the system in her heart.

Chapter 16: Dangerous Existence

After a while, the sound of a flowing electric current appeared and caused her head to feel numb. "It can be exchanged with points, but Host currently does not have any points so Host cannot trade for a manual."

A bucket of cold water was poured on Ning Shu's head. As expected, there was nothing in this world that was free.

However, she refused to give up and said, "I only ended up in this world due to your mistake. The difficulty of the task is so high, shouldn't you give a compensation?"

The system replied monotonously, "The reason why Host ended up in this world was due to a problem with the system program, not due to me."

Ning Shu vomited blood. The system was just a system, yet she had actually tried to haggle with it. Her brain must have shorted out.

The only visible path had just been crossed off. Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

On the other hand, Ling Xue who was sitting in front of Ning Shu became flustered the instant the system appeared. She felt as if something powerful had set its sight on her.

Ling Xue panicked. How could this world have such a dangerous existence? It wasn't possible! Ling Xue shuddered uncontrollably, cold sweat running down her back.

Cultivators had very keen senses. Moreover, Ling Xue had especially good luck in this world and all misfortunes had always seemed to become blessings. Everything had been smooth sailing for her ever since she came to this world. She hadn't encountered a single existence that caused her hair to stand up on end until now.

What exactly was it? What the hell was it!? Ling Xue gritted her teeth and looked around but didn't see anything abnormal. It seemed to just be her misperception.

However, this feeling was undeniably real. Ling Xue felt like she was about to be driven crazy.

The instant the system left, Ning Shu and Ling Xue plopped down over their desks, feeling weak. For Ning Shu, it was because she had received a psychological blow. Meanwhile, Ling Xue had simply been too nervous coming into contact with such a threat. Now that it was gone, her whole body relaxed, but her face was still pale.

A shadow now existed in Ling Xue's heart. Her limbs were completely out of strength. To put it frankly, she had been scared stiff.

Of course, Ning Shu had no idea that her little conversation with the system had scared Ling Xue so much.

She was currently worrying about her tasks again.

The bell signalling the end of class rang. The moment the blue-eyed, blond teacher left the classroom, An Rong ran over and kicked Ning Shu's desk, and the desk just happened to hit Ling Xue who was sitting in front.

It smashed right onto Ling Xue's back. Ning Shu's eyes widened. This had nothing to do with her! As for An Rong, her face immediately paled.

Ling Xue abruptly stood up and slapped her own desk. The desk instantly became trash. Ling Xue said coldly, "Do you want to die!?"

The intensely oppressive aura she emitted caused An Rong to fall to the ground. Ning Shu had cleverly dropped to the ground immediately after the incident so the oppressive aura didn't cause her any harm.

Under the force of Ling Xue's murderous oppressive aura, An Rong's body trembled uncontrollably. Her nose started bleeding and her teeth chattered, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

This occurrence immediately caused an uproar in the classroom. Only then did Ling Xue return to her senses and hastily retrieve her oppressive aura. She was very vexed. The incomparable feeling of danger earlier had caused her to become very agitated.

Then in a moment of inattentiveness something had hit her back and her anger immediately exploded. Cultivators tend to pay particular attention to following their hearts, and repressing her anger wasn't her style.

Nothing in this world had been significant enough to anger her, that was why she had always kept an aloof attitude as she looked down on these ordinary people.

However, the sensation earlier caused an uncontrollable emotion to emerge in her heart.

When Ling Xue saw the alarmed expressions of the people in the classroom as they looked at her, she became even more vexed. She pressed her lips together and put on an expression of aloof indifference. She didn't intend to explain at all, nor did she bother to show concern for the unconscious An Rong.

She swept a glance towards Ning Shu who was laying on the floor without a trace of dignity, then murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Ning Shu was bewildered. It wasn't like she had kicked the table, why was Ling Xue looking at her with such a menacing gaze? The female lead sure was willful, always deciding on things however she liked.

Chapter 17: Attract Bullets Even When Laying in a Trench

Ning Shu felt schadenfreude when she saw An Rong like this. It was the original host's feelings, but it was Ning Shu's feelings as well.

She had been beaten up by An Rong right after she transmigrated to this world. She could endure the pain, but having her hair grabbed and her head rammed against the wall was painful and humiliating.

Leng Ao immediately had someone send over a brand-new desk when he found out that Ling Xue's desk broke.

Ning Shu silently set her three-legged desk upright as she watched Leng Ao question Ling Xue in concern.

He looked worried but still acted like a tsundere. His self-important manner caused Ning Shu's lips to twitch.

As of now, Ling Xue had calmed down and returned to her usual cool and elegant manner. She smiled slightly as she said to Leng Ao, "It's fine now."

A smile immediately appeared on Leng Ao's face. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Shu sitting there, holding up her desk with one hand, looking indescribably wretched. He spoke with a tone of disgust, "Was it you that injured Ling Xue?"

Ning Shu blinked without saying anything. Why was she being dragged into this?

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Leng Ao lifted his leg and overturned Ning Shu's desk with one kick. Of course, the desk didn't ram into Ling Xue this time.

Ning Shu watched as her desk fell to the ground with a creak.

The desk was innocent. Why were they all venting their anger out on the poor desk?

Ning Shu felt that these people were all very mentally ill. Every single one of them lived inside their own world and saw things however they wanted to.

Everyone in the class had seen what happened earlier, yet not a single person stepped out to speak for Ning Shu when Leng Ao put the blame on her.

Ning Shu's heart chilled as a sensation of loneliness washed over her. How exactly had the original host been able to endure being ignored and trampled on like this by others? Ning Shu recalled the original host's ending in the story.

When the female lead got seriously annoyed with Lin Jiajia, this little clown, the male lead had sent his subordinate to deal with this ignorant woman. The male lead's subordinate was also a pervert. As if playing a game, he tied the original host up into a zongzi shape, and then moved far away to throw an axe and see where it would hit. In the end, the axe cut into the original host's shoulder, barely an inch from her neck. The axe ended up firmly embedded in the original host's collarbone area and couldn't be pulled out.

Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo, reed, or other large flat leaves.

So the pervert kicked her into the sea for the fish to snack on. The way the original host died was truly appalling.

Ning Shu looked at Leng Ao and the way he looked down at everything with an aloof manner as if he was a god. She really wanted to just punch him in the face.

Why exactly had the original host been so obsessed with this kind of person, to the point that she couldn't forget about him even after death? Ning Shu really didn't get what part of this person was charming, he was just a sack of skin.

This indicated that she had stayed in the hospital too long. Ning Shu, whose sense of aesthetic had diverged from that of ordinary people, expressed that she didn't understand.

Ling Xue reached out and tugged at Leng Ao's arm as she said, "It has nothing to do with this classmate."

Leng Ao looked at the beautiful, slender fingers on his arm. Each finger was like a polished, first-rate piece of sheep-fat white jade, enchantingly beautiful and carrying a slight glow. Leng Ao's heart melted the moment the beautiful woman placed her hand on his arm.

Leng Ao was so happy he wanted to leap for joy, yet on the surface he simply lifted his chin arrogantly and said to Ning Shu, "Since Ling Xue has spoken up for you, I'll let you off this time. Remember, you better stay away from Ling Xue from now on. Don't appear in front of her again or I'll make you regret it."

All sorts of grass mud horses ran through Ning Shu's heart. From the start this had nothing to do with her, so Leng Ao's current magnanimous attitude seriously felt disgusting. She really did attract bullets even when lying down in a trench.

The characters for grass mud horse in Chinese are homophones for f*ck your mom.

These people were all mentally ill, weren't they… mentally ill… weren't they?

If you're ill, you should go to the hospital. Don't give up on treatment.

However, what surprised Ning Shu was the fact that Ling Xue had actually spoken up for her. This didn't make Ning Shu relax at all. She hadn't forgotten the murderous intent in Ling Xue's glare earlier.

"That's right, isn't your birthday almost here?" Ling Xue looked at Ning Shu as she said, "We're all classmates, so you should invite Lin Jiajia as well."

Leng Ao originally wanted to say that as if this kind of person was fit to come to his birthday party, but since Ling Xue had spoken, he naturally had to give her face.

"You'll be coming to my birthday party, right?" said Leng Ao. Then he continued, "In the future, you should stop making so many malicious schemes. Not every single person is as kind-hearted as Ling Xue and willing to generously forgive you for your wrongs."

Ning Shu: Everyone in the world could be described as kind-hearted, but Ling Xue really couldn't count as kind-hearted. Could a person who paid no regard to the law and had no moral bottom line really be called kind-hearted?

Chapter 18: Obtained the Heart of the Beauty

After a full detour, the storyline still returned to its original development. In the story, it had been Leng Ao who invited the original host. The original host, Lin Jiajia, had been so happy to get Prince Leng's personal invitation that she practically went a little insane. However, after that even more girls started bullying her.

The original host had silently endured all of this. She stayed up late every night to hand-knit a scarf for Leng Ao. It was an ordinary scarf, but she believed that the meaning in something she had personally made was different.

In the end, of course she was ridiculed. Leng Ao went so far as to wrap the scarf around his golden retriever in front of the original host and remark, "Even the dog find this kind of thing distasteful."

The original host couldn't understand. He was clearly the one who invited her to this party, why was he treating her this way?

Ever since that incident, Lin Jiajia was laughed at wherever she went in the school.

From the looks of it now, Ling Xue had probably instigated the entire event. She was probably the reason the original host had been able to attend the party.

Every time Leng Ao saw Ning Shu's dazed appearance, he would feel vexed. In the past she always tailed him everyday like a pervert, but though she wasn't tailing him anymore, now she always looked at him with disdain.

Disdain. What right did this woman have to look down on him? She was nothing but an abandoned orphan.

"No need to bring a present, just come to the party," said Leng Ao disdainfully. "It's not like you can afford anything expensive anyways."

There was no way Ning Shu was going to buy a present. Right now she needed to save every possible penny, why would she buy a present for him? She was still considering whether to go to the party or not.

So, why did she have to save this damned prince? This task really made her feel nauseous. Who cared if a person like this died or not?

The original host insisted on pulling him out from the influence of the female lead halo and changing him back to a normal person. Ning Shu expressed that she couldn't do it.

After this farce, she, for some reason, became a laughingstock. Ning Shu's balls hurt. She hadn't done anything? She was just standing here, yet the female lead and male supporting lead insisted on coming around and mocking her.

Leng Ao spoke to Ling Xue in a tsundere manner. "If anything happens, come look for me. From now on, you're my woman."

Leng Ao's ears were a bit red when he said this. His eyes were filled with anticipation. This sentence was equivalent to a confession.

"I'll look for you if there's anything." Ling Xue's attitude was ambiguous. It seemed like she had agreed, but also seemed like she hadn't.

However, a smile immediately bloomed on Leng Ao's face when he heard this. At the same time, he insisted on acting like it didn't matter much to him so his face was as distorted as humanly possible.

As Ning Shu took in Ling Xue's attitude, she felt that it was no wonder the original host insisted on saving this idiot prince. The person clearly hadn't agreed to anything, yet he was acting like he had just obtained the heart of the beauty.

Chapter 19: Threat

Although everyone looked down on Ning Shu and felt that she didn't have the right to be in Ace Academy, Ning Shu thickened the skin on her face and insisted on staying in Ace. Ning Shu was determined to take root in this school until the school sent down the documents telling her to scram.

How was she supposed to save that idiot prince if she left the school? Not to mention, the female lead was currently an Ace student so she would at least restrain herself a little within the school. Outside of the school gates, the female lead would return to the absolutely unbridled behavior of a cultivator.

The nickname queen of the night wasn't just for show.

Ning Shu felt a headache. She had no idea how to carry out her tasks. Her confidence was already completely destroyed from facing such a difficult first task.

Ning Shu recalled Ling Xue's murderous gaze, and after deliberating a while, signed up for a Taekwondo course in hopes of strengthening this body. Although it wouldn't be much use, having greater agility would definitely help in fleeing for her life.

It was seriously sad. She felt like a mouse that Ling Xue had cornered, going through her deathbed struggle.

Ning Shu guessed that Ling Xue was probably toying with her and the original host like a mouse in her palm. Ling Xue used the original host to improve her own reputation, so the original host ended up becoming like a trash can. Bucket after bucket of sh*t was thrown on her until her reputation became unbearably foul.

The Taekwondo course wasn't as easy as Ning Shu thought it would be. The cool movements she saw on tv were extremely difficult to practice.

When she was doing the splits, the instructor even pressed a brick on her head. It was extremely painful. Luckily the original host had a foundation in dance so her body was still pretty flexible.

Every day after school, Ning Shu would go to the Taekwondo class and use all her free time to practice.

Every day, she would drag her exhausted body to class. Ning Shu couldn't understand what the teachers talked about. Ace Academy was different from normal schools, their courses were on things like economics, etiquette, and how to interact with others.

The students produced by this school were the absolute elites of society. Of course, these students had illustrious family backgrounds from the start and were already suitable to become people standing at the top of the societal pyramid.

Since Ning Shu couldn't understand the courses, she gave up on listening and spent most of her time mulling over Taekwondo. Though these academic courses were beneficial, her life was currently in danger so she gave up paying attention to these trifling matters.

As for Ling Xue, she had clearly realized that Lin Jiajia who was sitting behind her was now different. However, she couldn't quite tell what part of her was different.

She turned around and narrowed her eyes as she said, "Let's go to Leng Ao's birthday party together."

"What?" Ning Shu looked at Ling Xue in shock. She seriously couldn't tell what the female lead was thinking, to actually suggest going to the party together.

This was something that hadn't occurred in the original storyline. After all, how could Ling Xue, aloof as she was, possibly lower herself to walk beside an ant-like existence like Lin Jiajia?

Ning Shu had a bad premonition. The female lead couldn't be targeting her now, right?

Ling Xue was indeed starting to target Ning Shu. Her keen senses told her that in the past, Lin Jiajia was filled with malicious intent towards her. However, since Lin Jiajia was weak and powerless, Ling Xue had simply messed with her occasionally when she got bored.

However, now this ant seemed to have become more low-key and her resentment wasn't as obvious anymore. This irked Ling Xue and also caused her to suspect that the current Lin Jiajia might not be the original.

Since she had been able to get the chance at a rebirth, it was possible for other cultivators to transmigrate to this world and take up residence as well.

Ling Xue had already experienced the sweet taste of being the unrivaled peak existence in the world. She absolutely refused to allow another cultivator to appear in this world and snatch her limelight.

However, she didn't sense any spiritual energy in Lin Jiajia's body and she didn't act like a cultivator either. Ling Xue decided to try probing Lin Jiajia.

Chapter 20: I'm Just Too Nice

Ning Shu watched as Ling Xue's gaze flickered. From time to time she would emit an intense murderous aura, then an aloof aura. Ning Shu didn't know what Ling Xue was thinking about that was causing so many aura changes.

She shranked back a little and said, "I can't afford a present so I don't want to go."

Ning Shu was telling the truth. The presents that Leng Ao, this type of person who had countless eyes upon him, received during his birthdays were so expensive that most people couldn't afford one even if their entire lifetime's earnings was totaled up.

A trace of contempt flashed through Ling Xue's eyes as she said, "Didn't Leng Ao say that you didn't need to buy a present?"

A quick thought flew through Ning Shu's brain: When a person was particularly attentive for no reason, if that person wasn't a traitor then he was a thief. The aloof female lead-sama actually wanted to hang out with her? This was way too fishy.

Under the attack of Ling Xue's strong pressure, Ning Shu discovered that she had no leeway to make a choice at all. She was just about to agree but abruptly switched to saying, "Why do I have to go with you? If I'm going, I'm going by myself. Tch."

Her tone was filled with disgust. Ning Shu was imitating the way the original host treated Ling Xue. She had been about to agree earlier, but based on how much the original host detested Ling Xue, there was no way she would go to the party together with her.

This meant that Ling Xue had been probing her, she was suspicious of her! Ning Shu felt a chill in her heart. How could cultivators be in such defiance of the natural order, to be capable of sensing even a change in souls?

The female lead's golden finger was seriously too big. Ning Shu expressed that she felt a lot of pressure.

Ling Xue saw Ning Shu's disgusted expression and searched her face with narrowed eyes. The stare stabbed Ning Shu like needles. Her face involuntarily contorted.

Ning Shu glared at Ling Xue and yelled, "What are you looking at!?"

Before Ling Xue could say anything, her deskmate spoke first, "Lin Jiajia, Ling Xue has allowed you to participate in Prince Leng's birthday party out of the goodness of her heart. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been able to go at all. You can't even recognize others' good intentions?"

Ning Shu looked at the girl that spoke up for Ling Xue and said directly, "What the fart does it have to do with you? I'm talking to Ling Xue, what are you poking your beak in for? What benefit has Ling Xue given you to make you kneel like this and lick her toes? The person herself hasn't even said anything, what are you barking for?"

It was seriously refreshing ah. In any case, these people didn't like her so why not just shed all pretense of cordiality? Acting completely without fear was much more refreshing.

When the student heard the vulgar things that came out of Ning Shu's mouth, she was so angry her face flushed. She shouted, "You wretch!"

"You're the wretch. You're the most wretched. You're a wretch, wretch, …"

When had Ling Xue's deskmate ever seen someone cursing like a fishwife like this? In their social class, even if a person hated someone to death they would still act amiably on the surface before sticking a knife in the person's back.

In Ning Shu's past lifetime, she had see quite a lot of people cause trouble in the hospital. Making an unreasonable scene like this was the most effective way to overpower people. When a scholar encountered a soldier, even if his position was logical he wouldn't be able to convey it clearly.

As expected, that female student was infuriated and itched to rip off Ning Shu's jabbering mouth.

Ling Xue pulled her deskmate to a stop and swept a cool gaze at Ning Shu. "Enough already."

Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat upon sensing that murderous-intent-filled gaze. She pouted in a reluctant manner and shot Ling Xue's deskmate a glare.

"What need is there to mind an ignoramus? It's lowering your own dignity," said Ling Xue to her deskmate.

That girl also shot an arrogant look at Ning Shu as if Ning Shu was some lowly thing.

Ning Shu's lips twitched. That girl had clearly ended up as a shield for Ling Xue so that Ling Xue could continue acting cool and elegant. Ning Shu really didn't understand what that girl was so proud about. What an idiot!

She would like to ask if the female lead would ever trade insults with someone without regard for her image?

It appeared that she had also successfully confirmed the female lead's impression of her. However, that didn't matter. What mattered was that it was refreshing to curse at people ah.

Chapter 21: Effects of Taekwando Practice

Ning Shu's yelling attracted the entire class' attention. Everyone looked at her as if she was a lunatic.

From their perspective, Ning Shu was currently a rootless, unstable duckweed. She was just an orphan with no support, yet she still dared to be so unbridled. By all rights she should be shrinking into a corner like a mouse, and fleeing desperately at the sight of people.

However, she was actually baring her fangs and brandishing her claws! She seriously didn't know her place.

Right now, Ning Shu didn't care what people thought of her. Even if she was weak, she couldn't show it. Acting weak would only make people bully her more.

Those with bare feet didn't fear those with shoes. Ning Shu currently had no burdens to bear and could focus solely on completing the task.

Those with bare feet refers to beggars. Beggars aren't afraid of 'people with shoes' because they've already lost everything and don't have much more to lose.

Ning Shu opened the faucet and was about to wash her hands when someone grabbed her head from behind and started dragging her towards the toilet.

"Fuck. This little bitch sure is cocky, to actually dare to injure An Rong like that."

"Right, we have to get revenge for An Rong."

Ning Shu looked at these people and thought, here we go again, the reuse of an old skill. They were dragging her into the toilet again. Did she look that easy to bully?

These people didn't show Ning Shu even a trace of politeness. A girl grabbed her hair and started slapping her. There was no need to mention how violent she was.

Ning Shu grabbed that person's hand. The girl immediately revealed a shocked expression before saying angrily, "You actually dare to fight back? Sisters, let's beat this bitch to death!"

So many people were working to beat her, this one person, up. It sure was honorable behavior. Anger stirred in Ning Shu's heart. It seemed it was time to test out the effects of Taekwando practice.

Ning Shu lifted her leg and stomped on the foot of the person behind her that was grabbing her hair. The person behind her immediately cried out from the pain. Releasing Ning Shu's hair, she crouched down, covering her foot.

"You bitch! Bitch…" The people present became furious. From their point of view, this sort of lowly person should stay still and obediently let them beat her up. However, this bitch actually dared to resist.

Without speaking, Ning Shu stepped up to the person that was cursing the most and slapped her twice with all her strength. That girl's face started swelling rapidly.

The girl was so shocked that she froze. The rest of the group also looked towards Ning Shu with disbelief on their faces.

Ning Shu took advantage of their shock to quickly kick and hit them. The bathroom instantly became filled with cries of alarm and angry cursing.

"Beat this bitch to death…"

"Oww…"

Those girls soon returned to their senses and rushed towards Ning Shu like a swarm of bees, punching and yanking. It was hard for two hands to defeat four. Ning Shu's face became all scratched up, but these people didn't fare well either. When Ning Shu wasn't pulling at their hair, she was pulling down their skirt.

The girls who got their skirts pulled down immediately cried out in alarm and stopped hitting Ning Shu to pull their skirts back up.

Ning Shu punched and pulled at these people. Her fingers were full of yanked-off hair, but a lot of her hair also got yanked off.

It was damned painful. Ning Shu leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. The situation became a temporary standoff.

These girls had probably been intimidated by Ning Shu's fierce brutality because they stood opposite her without making a move. Some of them were rubbing their chest. Several of them had lost hair to Ning Shu's claws and had palm prints all over their faces.

Ning Shu glowered at them. Those that met with her gaze reflexively shifted their eyes away.

Ning Shu spat. Her face was burning from those deep scratches.

She swept one last look over them, then limped out of the restroom. The people in the bathroom could only watch her leave because they were too scared to follow.

Ning Shu gritted her teeth. Her face really hurt, and her head also hurt so much that it felt numb. She touched her head and discovered that it was bleeding. Fights between women were always unreasonable scenes with lots of hair-grabbing.

She really envied Ling Xue for being able to look so graceful whenever she made a move and for her ability to dispose of the opponent without even needing to get close. Earlier, she had been able to knock An Rong unconscious with just spiritual pressure!

Ning Shu felt that it was lucky she had good foresight and went to learn Taekwondo, otherwise she would be completely beat up right now. Although she had still gotten injured, she had also been able to injure all the people the usually bullied the original host and make all of their faces swollen as pig heads.

Ning Shu hobbled to the nurse office. Her face needed to be treated, or it'd become disfigured. If the original host returned back to her body only to discover that her face was full of scars, she'd probably fall apart.

The nurse office was crowded as always. Moreover, all the patients were girls. They were suffering from the same illness: love-struckness.

When they saw Ning Shu's wretched appearance, expressions of respect appeared on their faces. She had actually been able to sacrifice so much just for the sake of letting the handsome school doctor treat her? What a strong mentality ah.

Ning Shu: …

Chapter 22: Strange Scene

When it was Ning Shu's turn, she sat down on the chair and said, "Help treat my face."

The doctor lifted his brows as he looked at Ning Shu. He picked up a cotton swab and dipped it in rubbing alcohol as he asked, "What happened this time? Your head's still swollen yet you've already gotten injured again?"

"I know that I'm quite popular but there's still no need to abuse yourself like this. Aiy, your face is all scratched up." The doctor jabbed the cotton swab at Ning Shu's face. "How ruthless must you be to injure your own face this severely ah."

When the rubbing alcohol made contact with the open wound, Ning Shu's face contorted with pain. Yet next to her, the narcissistic doctor was still yapping nonstop.

"Shut up, you're so annoying. This was from people beating me up, it's not self-inflicted," shouted Ning Shu. It was seriously enough already.

The doctor pushed up his glasses a little, a ray of light refracting off his eyes. He didn't speak, he simply added more force to his movements.

Ning Shu immediately changed her tune and said, "I was wrong. Go more gently."

Ning Shu sighed, worn out by her experiences, as she looked at the face full of band-aids that was reflected in the mirror. There was probably a bandage on every single scratch. Ning Shu felt like she was about to be messed up by this doctor.

Was there bad blood between the original host and the school doctor?

Ning Shu couldn't very well go back to class with a face full of band-aids so she decided to head back to her apartment. However, right after she stepped out of the school gates, she saw someone that looked like Ling Xue squeeze sneakily into an alley.

Ning Shu wanted to follow, but she recalled that Ling Xue was a cultivator. Her senses were very keen and so she would definitely be able to notice if someone was spying on her.

However, Ning Shu's curiosity kept scratching at her heart. In the end, she decided to follow after all.

She didn't dare to make a single sound. After a moment of thought, she took out two handkerchiefs and wrapped them around her feet. This way there would be less sound when the shoes made contact with the ground.

There was no need to ask how Ning Shu knew about this. She had learned it all from watching crappy detective movies.

Ning Shu snuck over and poked her head out to look into the alley. She saw that Ling Xue was currently talking with a man. No matter how Ning Shu strained her ears, she still couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.

Suddenly, she saw Ling Xue extend her hand and place it on that person's head. The man immediately exposed an elated expression.

Ling Xue's back was facing Ning Shu so she couldn't see her expression. All she could see was that Ling Xue's hair and garments started rising as if there was wind sweeping over her.

However, Ning Shu couldn't feel any wind. This scene was abnormally strange.

Chapter 23: An Amazing Secret

This scene was seriously strange. Ning Shu covered her mouth in order to prevent herself to making any sounds. For some reason, she had a feeling that she had discovered some huge secret.

Not only was this not within the original host's memories, it wasn't even mentioned in this world's storyline.

When Ning Shu saw that the wind around Ling Xue was dying down, she turned without hesitation and ran. From the looks of it, whatever Ling Xue was doing, she was almost about finished.

Ning Shu squeezed into a bookstore and pretended to look at the books. When she looked up, she saw Ling Xue passing by. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination or not, but the imposing aura Ling Xue gave off seemed to have become even stronger and colder.

Ling Xue who was outside suddenly sensed a probing gaze. She stopped walking and looked around.

Ning Shu who was inside the bookstore immediately shifted her gaze towards the book in her hand, and didn't dare to glance at Ling Xue again. Cultivators were seriously way too unbelievable, to be able to sense even just a glance.

Ling Xue knitted her beautiful brows. The sensation of being watched had disappeared. After a slight pause, she left.

Ning Shu only dared to exhale after a while had passed. Her back was covered with cold sweat.

It was too scary, expressed Ning Shu. How was an ordinary person supposed to deal with the OP female lead?

Ning Shu rushed back to her apartment and showered before heading to the Taekwondo place to frantically practice. However, she still couldn't suppress the unease in her heart. No matter how much she trained, she was still just an ant to the female lead.

Ning Shu was seriously stumped by this task. She had no influence, no power, no aid at all. She started reexamining the storyline to see if there was anyone who held a grudge against the male lead or the female lead.

She discovered that the boss antagonist of this world was a complete mystery. There was no boss at all. The entire story was about the female lead and male lead acting all domineering and being completely invincible. If it weren't for the limiting factors of this world, the male and female lead probably would have rushed into the cosmos.

Meanwhile, Ning Shu had no influence that she could call on. Even if she had influence, it would have been useless in the face of the male and female leads' sparkly, golden, main character halos.

"System, I hate you." In her heart, Ning Shu tilted her head back and screamed this towards the skies.

Every day, Ning Shu trained until it was almost midnight before going home. Today, however, she felt that something was off when she got home. The moment she opened the door, she heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

There was even the scent of blood.

There was someone here. Ning Shu quietly pulled out a steel pipe from behind the door. How could a woman be at ease living on her own without preparing a few safety guarantees?

Ning Shu's hair was standing on end as she listened to the sounds coming from inside. She gripped the pipe tightly.

Borrowing the weak illumination of the streetlight outside the room, she saw that there was something wiggling on the sofa. Without even thinking, she lifted the pipe and smashed it towards the sofa.

A sound like a pig was being killed immediately came from the sofa. It sounded like a man, so Ning Shu started hitting the person with the steel pipe even more relentlessly.

"Hey, I said that's enough. Keep hitting me and I'll shoot." The person spoke, repressing his anger. "Go open the lights."

When Ning Shu heard that he had a gun, she was so scared that she almost threw her pipe away. However, she recalled that the pipe was her only weapon. If she threw it away, she'd really end up a defenseless lamb that could only wait to be slaughtered.

"Open the lights." The voice sounded slightly pained.

"Fuck, I told you to open the lights!"

Ning Shu heard the sound of the gun safety being pulled off and was so scared she immediately ran to the door to open the lights.

She stood at the door, not daring to enter the room. At the same time, she repressed her impulse to run. No matter how fast she ran, she couldn't run faster than a bullet.

She looked nervously towards the person on the sofa, then cried out in surprise, "Doctor!?"

Chapter 24: The School Doctor!?

This was the school doctor, right? He was wearing a black windbreaker and holding a pistol. Upon hearing Ning Shu's voice, he turned around and reached up to adjust his glasses, only to discover that he wasn't wearing glasses right now.

He squinted at Ning Shu, then, the corners of his mouth hooking up, said, "Come here, help me bandage my wounds."

"I… I don't know how." Ning Shu looked at the school doctor whose temperament was completely different from how it was during the day. If it weren't for the fact that he looked identical to the school doctor, there was no way anyone would think that they were the same person. It couldn't be a twin, right?

"You're the school doctor, right?" Ning Shu pointed her steel rod at the school doctor. The school doctor was speechless for a moment. Then he pointed his gun at her and said, "Come over here."

Ning Shu, who had yet to see much of the world, was terribly frightened to have a pitch-black gun muzzle pointed at her. She hastily said, "Let's talk things out, talk things out." Her legs trembled as she walked towards the school doctor.

The school doctor's face was deathly pale, probably due to the abrupt beating Ning Shu had inflicted. As of now, even his lips were colorless. However, his expression was cool and indifferent as he took off his clothes.

"Treat my injury." The school doctor pointed towards his back. There was a concealed weapon – yes, let's tentatively call it a concealed weapon – embedded in his back near his shoulder blade. It was practically completely inside his body.

There was no way for the school doctor to deal with this injury himself. When he saw that Ning Shu was staring blankly, he shouted, "Fuck, hurry up! All the blood in me's about to run out."

Was this coarse person really that refined school doctor? Ning Shu quivered and hastily went to grab the first aid kit.

She looked at the barely visible weapon and asked, a bit awkwardly, "How am I supposed to get it out?"

"Get it out with tweezers, hurry up." The school doctor's voice was filled with suppressed pain. He was covered with cold sweat.

"I'm taking it out now~" said Ning Shu. Holding the tweezers, she moved them towards the wound.

"'Now~' your damned sister ah! Hurry up!" roared the school doctor. Ning Shu was startled by him and accidentally jabbed his wound with the tweezers.

The school doctor was in so much pain that his entire body shuddered and he curled up into a ball on the sofa. Ning Shu saw that the wound was gushing blood like a fountain and hastily grabbed some gauze to wipe the blood. She was starting to freak out at the sight of so much blood. The school doctor's facial color was starting to turn gray as well.

Gathering up her courage, she stepped on him with a leg in order to prevent him from moving around, then quickly pinched the weapon with the tweezers. She abruptly pulled back. Eh? It didn't come out. One more time.

When the weapon was pulled out, blood spurted out all over Ning Shu's face. The school doctor who was lying on the sofa had passed out.

Ning Shu pressed gauze on the injury. She was completely flustered when she saw the blood slowly dye all of the gauze red. She glanced at the deep injury, then looked through the first aid kit for a hemostatic. When she found it, she crushed it and sprinkled it over the wound.

It was clearly meant for oral consumption, yet she directly spilled it onto the wound because she thought it would take to long for it to work if he took it orally. He was bleeding so much. How much blood must be required to sustain this flow?

By the time Ning Shu finished binding up the school doctor's wound, she was covered with sweat. She reached out and waved her hand below the school doctor's nose. Good. He was still breathing.

She fell to the ground. Seeing that the ground was covered with stained gauze, she cleaned it up. Then she saw the gun on the side table that was glowing with a dark light. Her heart chilled. She glanced at the unconscious school doctor, then sneakily took the gun and hid it.

Seriously. Why didn't he go to the hospital instead of coming to her house if he was injured? Also, how did he get in?

Who was this school doctor? He wasn't an ordinary person at all. Why did he decide to become Ace's school doctor?

Chapter 25: Thank You for Yesterday

When the handsome school doctor woke up, his gaze was vacant and confused. He didn't remember where he was. When things came back to him, he immediately sat up on the sofa. His movements tugged at his injury and he gasped in pain.

"You're awake~~~" A faint voice transmitted over. The school doctor turned around and discovered that there was a woman standing behind him. She was currently holding a bowl and shoving noodles into her mouth.

"Who are you?" The school doctor reflexively reached for the gun at his waist. He felt all around and couldn't find it. He even ended up tugging at his wound again and was in so much pain he felt like he was about to die.

Ning Shu swallowed the noodles in her mouth and blinked as she looked at him. The corners of her mouth twitched. Was he here to perform a comedy?

"You took something of mine, didn't you?" The school doctor looked at Ning Shu with a dark expression. Then his stomach started rumbling.

"Oh, I remember you now. You're the girl who helped me get the weapon out yesterday. Hahahahaha…" The school doctor started laughing candidly. "Make me a bowl of noodles too."

Ning Shu made a sound of agreement, then curled her lips disdainfully as she went to cook noodles for him. His vitality sure was strong, to be able to wake up the next day after losing that much blood.

Ning Shu placed the noodles in front of him, then spoke with a negotiable tone. "Um, Uncle…"

"Do I look that old? In the school, all the girls call me Big Brother." The school doctor lifted a bit of the noodles and sampled it.

"The way I address you isn't important. You're severely injured, you should go to the hospital." Ning Shu didn't dare to let such a dangerous person stay in her house.

The school doctor smacked his lips and said, "The taste isn't that good. Hey, what did you say? I didn't really hear."

Ning Shu: So shameless.

"Just focus on eating." Ning Shu rolled her eyes.

"That's right, you took my thing, didn't you?" asked the school doctor. "Give it back to me. A little girl like you shouldn't be playing with a dangerous thing like that."

Upon seeing the school doctor's refined and elegant manner, Ning Shu felt the urge to spit at him. She hastily replied, "What thing? I didn't take anything of yours. Oh, you must be talking about the concealed weapon. I've put it away, I'll get it for you right now."

Ning Shu took a box out from below the side table and handed the concealed weapon to the school doctor. This weapon was completely black, ring-shaped, and had sharp corners all along its outer edge. It emitted a faint light.

The school doctor glanced at Ning Shu, then took the concealed weapon and examined it. After putting it away, he extended his hand and looked at Ning Shu again.

Ning Shu looked at his hand. His palm was faintly yellow with thick calluses. These calluses only formed from doing certain things over a long period of time. These pairs of hands didn't fit with his attractive appearance at all.

Ning Shu extended her hand and shook his. "Hello, hello."

The school doctor flung her hand off and said, "What I want is the gun. Where did you put my gun, hm?"

Ning Shu looked at him with alarm and asked, "You're going to kill to silence if I give it to you, aren't you?"

"Big Bro ah, take into consideration that I did save your life ah. Us children of the Jianghu repays kindness and takes revenge straightforwardly. There exists no hatred or grudges between us, so let's just forget this encounter and leave it behind in the Jianghu."

"What the hell are you yapping about? I can dispose of you even without the gun. Using the gun on you is practically a waste of bullets. Hurry up and give me the thing," said the doctor, annoyed. He knitted his brows, giving off a very alienating aura.

His attitude flipped as fast as the pages of a book. Ning Shu looked at his frosty expression and went to get the pistol. As she handed it to the school doctor, she made sure to argue, "I just thought it was too dangerous to leave the gun on you. What if it accidentally went off? That's the only reason why I put it away."

The school doctor took the gun and inserted it in his boot, ignoring Ning Shu's words. He stood up and said, "Thank you for yesterday. I'm leaving now."

Ning Shu watched as he walked towards the door. He didn't look injured at all. If it weren't for the fact that she had personally retrieved the weapon from his body yesterday, she wouldn't have believed that he was injured.

She opened the door and said to the school doctor with a smile, "Uncle, take care." Please don't ever come back.

Chapter 26: Next Time…

The school doctor towered over Ning Shu as he said, "Slightly interesting. You are quite interesting."

Ning Shu was stunned to hear such a cool script line and stared at the school doctor in surprise. This guy couldn't be the male lead-sama, right? She examined the school doctor and compared him to the storyline's description of the male lead.

The male lead was a ruthless and despotic person like the female lead. The two only took a liking to each other because they were so similar, that's why they felt each other worthy to be their match.

Ning Shu asked, "Uncle, who are you? What's your name?"

The school doctor had seen the confusion flickered across her face. "Why do you need to know my name? Haven't you been calling me uncle this entire time? Then you can just keep calling me uncle."

Ning Shu had called him uncle purely as a malicious joke. He didn't look old at all. Ning Shu was only calling him uncle relying on the fact that her body was young.

Why did she want to know his name? Because she wanted to know whether he was the awesome male lead or not!

Ning Shu watched as the school doctor left in a cool manner wearing his large black windbreaker and felt slightly unwell. She thought about the storyline again. The storyline didn't seem to have said that the male lead was a school doctor.

The male lead only suited the bloody fighting and killing scene, he didn't suit an occupation like a school doctor. If that was the case, who was that guy? There didn't seem to have been any character like this in the story.

Ning Shu sighed. She felt that the world had changed a lot. What exactly was with this irrelevant character? She had a feeling that this school doctor wasn't a simple person. How could a person that ran around with a gun possibly be a simple person?

After cleaning up, Ning Shu headed to school. When she passed by the school's announcement board, she found that there was a post about her punishment.

Due to the fact that she got involved in a fight, a lot of her course credits were deducted. She would probably be expelled if any more credits were deducted. The post said that she was the only one who had course credits deducted. Nothing happened to the others, she was the only one punished.

This was seriously a cruel world. She was an orphan without any power or influence, so she inevitably had to face bullying. Ning Shu hated this school, but due to the task, she had no choice but to stay here. This was a place where the strong dwelled. A little fish like her could only be swallowed up.

People without family backgrounds shouldn't dream of staying in this school. It wasn't that she was taking the initiative to cause trouble either, yet so many people were teaming up to bully her. It was seriously unbelievable.

She walked into the classroom. All the girls who fought with Ning Shu yesterday revealed pleased expressions. It must be known that Ace Academy's course credits were very important, they were practically gilded. A person that got expelled by Ace Academy would become the laughingstock of the world.

NIng Shu was extremely irritated. She hadn't finished the task and these people kept jumping out to cause her trouble. She decided that next time she wouldn't fight in the school anymore. Once she left the school, she'd pull a sack over their heads and beat them up until they surrendered.

She sat down on her seat and picked up the three-legged table from the ground. She glanced at Ling Xue who was in front of her. When she recalled the strange scene she happened to see yesterday, she would feel a chill just looking at Ling Xue's back.

She didn't know what Ling Xue did to that man, but it probably wasn't anything good.

Ling Xue turned around and looked towards Ning Shu suspiciously. She asked coldly, "Lin Jiajia, why do you keep looking at me?"

Chapter 27: Look at Me, Aren't I Pitiful?

Ning Shu hadn't expected that Ling Xue's senses would be this keen. She had barely been looking for a second before she was caught. It was so unnerving.

"Nothing much. I couldn't help but gape at your captivating back," said Ning Shu without a trace of sincerity.

Ling Xue pressed her lips together. Her eyes contained murderous intent as she looked at Ning Shu. Was this girl teasing her? Ling Xue felt that she had been too lenient towards this woman. This ordinary person, this ant, actually dared to tease her!

Facing Ling Xue's murderous stare, Ning Shu expressed that if Ling Xue wanted to look, then let her look. It was seriously enough. Even praising her for being beautiful didn't work. Ning Shu slanted a glare at her and said, "What are you looking at? Feels like you're not as pretty as me."

Ling Xue's expression instantly turned ice-cold and she looked at Ning Shu like she was looking at a dead object. Ning Shu expressed that doing something like rubbing a tiger's butt was addictively exciting.

Ning Shu's present actions were courting disaster. She had decided that since she was going to die anyways, she might as well make the female lead uncomfortable while she could. Dying sooner or dying later was dying all the same.

Ling Xue swept an indifferent glance over her, then turned back to face the front.

You think you're so impressive just 'cause you have a golden finger? Just because you have power doesn't mean you have the right to casually bully others! Relying on the grace the heavens bestowed you to willfully toy with other people's lives, does that seem noble?

Ling Xue looked down on ordinary people and viewed them as ants, yet she used her power to deal with these ordinary people. The fudge was with that? Did the ants provoke you in any way? What was with you?

Ning Shu prattled on like a broken record inside her heart. She felt that she had to borrow some outside power in order to defeat Ling Xue. No matter how skilled a person was at martial arts, he could still be knocked down with one bullet.

Speaking of bullets, she recalled the cool school doctor. Ning Shu felt that she should go test her luck.

After class, she ran towards the nurse office. Originally, she thought that the school doctor might not be there since he was so severely injured.

However, when she saw all the female students in the room, she almost bowed down to him. He was seriously dedicated to his work ah.

When the school doctor saw Ning Shu, he pushed up his glasses. After all the female students successfully got a bit of the doctor's attention and left, Ning Shu said, "Um, is your injury alright?"

The school doctor sat on the sofa and crossed his legs gracefully as he looked at Ning Shu. He was the image of easy elegance. "Why were you looking for me?"

Ning Shu drew circles on the ground with her foot, looking very bashful.

"What exactly is it?" The school doctor readjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. Without a trace of politeness, he said, "Seeing you like this makes me want to puke."

This specific type of glasses. Very popular in Korea.

Ning Shu: @#amp;amp;amp;amp;*

"Uncle, can I discuss something with you? You have to help me, otherwise I'll die." Ning Shu crouched down to grab the school doctor's thigh.

Hugging someone's thigh is a figurative saying, describing the situation when someone boot-licks a more powerful person in order to get benefits. But Ning Shu's doing it literally here.

The school doctor pushed her hands away, then dusted off his trouser leg as if something dirty had gotten on it. He slanted a glance at Ning Shu and said in a cool manner, "Why does it feel like you've come to depend on me?"

"For better or for worse we're comrades in revolution that have gone through trials and tribulations together. You probably don't know how pitiful I am. I've been abandoned by my family and after being abandoned, I found out that I'm not my parents' biological daughter at all. Now I've even offended the school goddess. The goddess can wipe me out just by moving a finger. Say, don't you think I'm pitiful? The entire school is laughing at me. After getting beaten up, I even got course credits deducted."

As she spoke, even she started feeling that the original host was truly pitiful.

"En, it's quite melodramatic, and also seems quite disastrous. And so?" The school doctor looked at Ning Shu. "Why were you looking for me?"

She had already said this much, wasn't her intention to ask for help clear enough? Ning Shu pulled out a tissue and blew her nose, then said, "Can you lend me your gun?"

Chapter 28: I'll Look For You Tonight

The school doctor lifted his brows at Ning Shu, then smiled coldly. Dusting off his white coat, he said, "Why should I lend it to you? And even if I let you borrow it, do you know how to use it?"

"I can learn," said Ning Shu excitedly. "This is a matter of life and death! Uncle, if it weren't for the fact that I had no other options, I wouldn't come to look for you."

Ning Shu was staking it all. For the sake of borrowing something that could help preserve her life, she was giving up all integrity.

The school doctor narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Who did you say you offended?"

"Who? Oh, the goddess Ling Xue." Ning Shu blinked as she looked at the school doctor. From up close, it could be seen that the school doctor's skin was really great. It was like white jade, flawless and poreless.

"You actually need a gun to defend against a female student?" Snow-white light flashed over the school doctor's glasses. "Isn't she just a student?"

"How can you say 'she's just a student'…" Ning Shu glanced around, then moved close to the doctor and said, "Ling Xue isn't an ordinary person."

"If you're going to talk, just talk. What are you getting so close for?" said the school doctor as he leaned away from her.

Ning Shu retreated backwards a little and said, "Ling Xue isn't an ordinary person."

"I know, didn't you just say that?" The school doctor knitted his brows. "You sure like repeating the same sentence twice."

Big Bro ah, could you please catch the main point? Ning Shu felt like this guy was messing with her, but she couldn't do anything about it even if it was true. Who asked him to be the only person she knew with good things?

The school doctor took in Ning Shu's collapsing expression and said, "What do you mean by 'Ling Xue isn't an ordinary person?' It couldn't be that she's Superman, Spiderman, or Iron Man, right?"

Ning Shu: @#%amp;amp;*

"No, Ling Xue is a Daoist immortal. Do you believe if I say she can kill with telekinesis?" Ning Shu's expression was completely serious.

She thought he would laugh when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the school doctor actually said with a serious expression, "Maybe she's a demon?"

Chinese demons are more like spirits and are born from things like rocks, bamboo, and things embedded with meaning once they absorb spiritual energy for thousands of years. They can cultivate and are not inherently evil, but they often have antagonistic relationships with humans.

Ning Shu: Hahahaha…

She was certain that this bastard was teasing her. She was clearly talking about a very serious matter, a matter in which human life was beyond value in comparison! Ning Shu felt a loneliness as if she was the only one sober in a world full of drunk people.

Ning Shu was so agitated her mouth was about to froth. If he didn't want to help then whatever. Was it fun to tease people?

"I'll look for you tonight," said the school doctor.

Ning Shu hastily covered her chest. "Why would you look for me? I'm a good lady."

The school doctor sneered. "You don't want the thing anymore?"

She wants, of course she wants. Ning Shu hastily said, "I'll sweep the couch tonight in preparation to welcome you."

The school doctor: …

Having obtained a definite reply from the school doctor uncle, Ning Shu no longer felt weak when facing Ling Xue's murderous glare. She even glowered back.

Ning Shu expressed that she would feel very pleased every time she saw Ling Xue's annoyed expression.

Meanwhile, Ling Xue was done with tolerating Ning Shu. In the past she had misgivings about doing anything to Lin Jiajia because Lin Jiajia was an Ace student. If an Ace student was to go missing, it'd attract a lot of unnecessary problems.

However, right now she was already all alone and no longer had a family background to support her. It was about time to make her disappear. Ling Xue loathed the way this girl always looked at her with that strange gaze.

It caused her to have the misperception that she was seen through.

Ning Shu didn't know that the female lead-sama had already decided to kick her out of the school. Currently, she was eagerly anticipating the school doctor's arrival.

If she had a life-preserving object on hand, she would feel a bit more confident in completing this sh*tty task.

Chapter 29: Mutual Benefits

Ning Shu had waited until midnight before the school doctor finally arrived. Moreover, he had come in directly by climbing over the balcony. After he got in, he slowly walked towards the room.

Ning Shu couldn't let even a trace of her dissatisfaction show through and went to get tea and pour water for the monsieur on the couch.

The school doctor was wearing a black windbreaker again. She didn't know if it was the same one as before. However, every time she saw his windbreaker, she would feel like she had a lot of comments to spit, but didn't know where to start commenting.

Interesting thing is that the comment section in most Chinese platforms is a section for 'roasting/ridiculing.' The term comes from another term that translates roughly to 'expelling stinkiness,' but since the original term was in a dialect, a different pair of homophones is now commonly used and the meaning is commonly 'to retort without giving the person/subject face,' aka 'to retort without holding back.'

The school doctor glanced at Ning Shu and lifted the plain boiled water. However, he set it down again after glancing at it. Then, he took out something that was contained in a leather cover and threw it to Ning Shu. Ning Shu hastily caught it. She glanced at the school doctor, then opened it. It was actually a pistol.

This pistol felt light and easy to use, unlike the previous one which felt very heavy.

"This is a lady's pistol. There are two safety bolts, it's suitable for you to use," said the school doctor indifferently.

Ning Shu sniffled and looked at the school doctor with tears in her eyes. "Uncle, you really are a good person. I practically have no way to repay…"

"I don't want you to repay with your body, you're ugly." The school doctor shot a disdainful glance at her, then handed her a magnetic card. "This is the location of a shooting range. You can go there to learn."

Ning Shu took the card. She was starting to feel uneasy. Why did he suddenly become this thoughtful? Ning Shu asked, "Uncle, then what do you need me to do?"

The school doctor grinned. "Of course I need you to do something. You'll know when the time comes. Our relationship is simply one of mutual benefits."

Ning Shu: Please speak the human language, I don't understand.

The school doctor got up, then left. He didn't leave from the balcony but through the door. As Ning Shu watched the black windbreaker flutter in the wind, she felt like spitting comments again.

She grasped the gun and felt a surge of strength and courage fill her body. It all came from this exquisite little thing.

Ning Shu made all sorts of handsome poses before putting the card away. No matter what the school doctor's goal was, at least she was a little more protected with this thing in her possession.

Ning Shu didn't feel like bothering with school the next day since she couldn't understand the lessons even if she went. It wasn't that Ning Shu's IQ wasn't high enough but that the material was too high-end. She felt like going to class was a waste of time.

So she went to the shooting range with the card in order to learn how to shoot. She found the so-called shooting range by following the address given on the card.

She thought that the shooting range would be some dazzling place, or at the very least, a classy place. However, this little retail store in front of her… It sold all sorts of things including pornographic magazines and all kinds of restricted products.

Was this really the shooting range? The moment Ning Shu walked in, an old man came up to greet her. She didn't know if it was because there were too many unhealthy things around but the old man's smile seemed very vulgar.

"U… uncle. I wanted to ask if this was a shooting range," stammered Ning Shu.

The old man's expression turned serious for a moment before he started smiling again. "Young lady, this is just a grocery store, not some shooting range. You're in the wrong place."

But it was clearly this address? Ning Shu suddenly recalled that most connections required tokens or secret codes, so she took out the card the school doctor gave her and said, "Uncle, look at this."

That old man took it and glanced at it. Then he dug out a machine from the messy floor and swiped the card on it.

He glanced at Ning Shu, then said, "Come with me."

Ning Shu put the card away and followed the old man into the grocery store. The old man opened a thick door and said, "Go in."

Chapter 30: Shooting Range

Ning Shu then carefully walked in. As expected, a different paradise existed. The site was appropriately dazzling, bright and clean. This was more like a shooting range.

The room was filled with partitioned-off stalls. All the people in the stalls were wearing earplugs and focused on shooting the target in front of them.

The entire shooting range was filled with the sound of guns. Ning Shu took a moment to think about it, then felt quite defeated by this world. It was clearly the simplest school campus storyline, yet now it has become a gun battle story.

Ning Shu stood there, not knowing what to do. There didn't seem to be any employees here that handled reception.

"Uncle, I want to practice shooting, w… where should I go?" Ning Shu asked a man that was wiping his sweat.

The man glanced at Ning Shu. It was only a single glance, but it made Ning Shu feel as if she was standing in the middle of a pile of corpses. She felt a chill come over her as if she was facing a sea of blood.

His baleful aura was too intense. This person has definitely killed a lot of people before.

"Where did this little girl come from? Why is Old Li letting random people in? Get out," said that person coldly. His brows creased and a threatening aura shot towards Ning Shu.

Ning Shu felt as if she was facing a beast that was contemplating its next meal. She saw the ruthlessness in the person's eyes. He was rubbing his gun as he narrowed his eyes at Ning Shu's head. He seemed to be itching to put a bullet through her head.

Mommy ah, this world was too dangerous! She wanted to go home! Ning Shu hastily fished out her card and said, "I was introduced to this place by someone."

When that person saw the card in Ning Shu's hand, his face immediately froze. Then he tried to force a smile, causing his face to contort in a tragic sight.

"So you're someone Psycho introduced? The second stall is Psycho's spot, you can go there." That person pointed at the stall as he said, "You can just practice in his spot."

Psycho? Could he be talking about the school doctor uncle? Such a fierce person actually changed his attitude this much upon seeing this card.

How savage was the school doctor uncle exactly? Just his name was enough to make such a fierce person treat her gingerly as if she was a tiger.

Since the school doctor uncle's name was this effective, of course she had to keep climbing the pole. Ning Shu said, "Uncle, I don't know how to shoot, could you teach me?"

That person's face spasmed, then he said, "Of course."

Ning Shu thanked the school doctor uncle in her heart for allowing her to get a free instructor.

"You know how to load the magazine, right?"

"I don't."

"You know how to pull the bolt, right?"

"I don't."

"You at least know how to pull the trigger, right?"

"I don't."

The man rubbed the gun at his waist and narrowed his eyes at Ning Shu's head. Then he seemed be hit by apprehensions as immediately he gave a contorted smile.

"I'll have to trouble Uncle."

Quite a lot of people had gathered around. When they heard what Ning Shu said, they all jeered at her for being a rookie, and for being even worse than a rookie.

What she didn't know, she didn't know. She had never shot a gun before, so she didn't feel that it was embarrassing. If she knew how to shoot, she wouldn't come to this place.

"Don't make a fuss. This girl was introduced by Psycho," said the man with a forced smile.

Upon hearing the name 'Psycho,' everyone around immediately scattered like fleeing birds. In just a few seconds they were all gone.

The way they acted was like they would die just hearing this name.

Ning Shu: …

How savage was the school doctor really? However, Ning Shu didn't feel like the school doctor was anyone that amazing. He even got injured by someone just a couple days ago, he seriously sucked.

"Uncle, we can start. Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best to learn."

Thus, Ning Shu started her shooting lessons. With an instructor who seemed to get the urge to put a bullet through her head every once in a while, Ning Shu learned rapidly.

Human potential was truly limitless.

Chapter 31: Shooting Practice Life

Ning Shu started the shooting practice life. Under Instructor Headshot's attentive watch, Ning Shu fired the gun and missed. The bullet flew somewhere unknown.

Instructor Headshot rubbed the gun at his waist as he looked at Ning Shu's head eagerly. Ning Shu instantly felt a chill and said, "Let me try again. I definitely won't miss this time."

Instructor Headshot: Ha. Ha.

Ning Shu practiced like her life depended on it. At the start, the bullets would fly everywhere. Everyone in the shooting range avoided Ning Shu. It would truly be an injustice if the rookie's stray bullets hit them.

Ning Shu held the gun level with both hands. If her posture wasn't right, Instructor Headshot would immediately pull out his gun and point it towards her head. Ning Shu was so terrified each time that she came close to wetting her pants, so she improved rapidly.

From the starting point of always missing, she improved to the point of being able to hit the target now.

These days, Ning Shu spend all her time at the shooting range. Eating, drinking, peeing, sh*tting, she did it all here. She practiced nonstop. Later, it got to the point that she couldn't even lift her arms anymore. She felt like she was about to become an otaku with muscly arms.

However, she didn't felt any complaints about how tiring it was. This was a skill that could save her life. The more skills she had when facing the dangerous female lead, the more chances she had to survive.

Instructor Headshot gave Ning Shu a bottle of medicinal oil. Forcing a contorted smile, he asked, "What relationship do you have with Psycho?"

No relationship at all. Of course, Ning Shu didn't dare to say this. If she really said this, this uncle who seemed to like headshots would probably shoot her on the spot.

Ning Shu laughed 'haha' and revealed a profound and mysterious expression. Instructor Headshot rubbed his gun again. From the looks of it, he really wanted to just shoot Ning Shu through the head.

Every time Ning Shu saw this fiendish uncle rub his gun, her heart would frantically race from fear. She was truly grateful to the school doctor uncle for being so fearsome, so that she as a fox could exploit the tiger's might.

Ning Shu now practically lived at the shooting range. She practiced everyday and could now hit within the five rings.

It was awesome!

This particular day, Ning Shu suddenly got a notice from the school. It said that if she didn't come to class, she would be expelled.

Fine, she definitely couldn't allow herself to be expelled.

After staying in the shooting range for a long time, Ning Shu felt a little bit unused to being in a place with such a peaceful atmosphere.

When Ling Xue saw Ning Shu, she sensed her change. This woman has become even more reserved, and even gave off a dangerous air now. However, this air of danger only seemed like that of a stronger ant that got strengthened pincers.

Ling Xue was very displeased with this and met Ning Shu's gaze. Upon sensing Ling Xue's gaze, Ning Shu gave a big eyeroll.

Ling Xue's gaze immediately became filled with a dangerous aura. She subconsciously started releasing spiritual pressure.

Ning Shu felt like she was quite good at courting death. Being this unbridled in front of the female lead, if it wasn't courting death, what else could it be?

In the past, Ling Xue had disregarded Ning Shu and simply watched her with the attitude of watching a clown make a fool of herself. However, the presence of the current Ning Shu made her feel as if she had a fish bone stuck in her throat. She suddenly had a feeling that if she didn't destroy this clown, her life would change.

Ling Xue trusted her feeling a lot.

Ning Shu only found out later why the school had notified her to come to class. It was because Prince Leng's birthday was tomorrow. The reason they told Ning Shu to come to class was to remind her not to forget to go to Leng Ao's party since he had invited her.

When Ning Shu found out, she was practically about to fall apart. She had actually thought that she had been important enough for the school to care about. The reality showed that she had seriously expected too much.

#comment: 哈哈(ha1ha1) is the Chinese words for 'haha,' representing laughter. At the same time, another term 呵呵(he1he1) represents polite laughter. The common definition for that term is 'gentle chuckle,' but it's actually used when you don't find something funny like 'hahaha, no.' This is what an international student from China told me when I accidentally sent the wrong combo… (He was like, you sure know what you just wrote?)

Chapter 32: The Sad Fate of Cannon Fodder

Ning Shu went to the nurse office to see the school doctor uncle. When she saw that the room was filled with patients yet again, she questioned what exactly the school doctor uncle was doing here as a school doctor.

There was definitely a reason. How could a person that Instructor Headshot feared so much simply be an ordinary school doctor?

When the school doctor saw Ning Shu, he sized her up, then asked, rather shocked, "Eh? You're actually still alive? You didn't go to the shooting range?"

Ning Shu: …

She almost puked out blood. This bastard clearly knew that the shooting range was filled with homicidal maniacs, yet he didn't bother warning her, causing her to end up stroding in casually.

How could a human be this malicious? Did any truth, goodness, and beauty still exist in his heart?

Ning Shu tugged her lips into a smile and said, "Thank you."

She patted the lady's pistol at her waist.

The school doctor glanced briefly at her, then said, "Are you having trouble dealing with the school flower, Ling Xue?"

School flower is the term for the prettiest girl in a school. School grass is for the hottest guy.

"Even Uncle knows Ling Xue? Looks like Ling Xue's famous name is truly widely known." Ning Shu then looked at the school doctor uncle and asked in shock, "Uncle, no way right?"

"No way what?"

"It couldn't be that you've fallen for Ling Xue as well, right?" Ning Shu felt like life was very tough.

The school doctor lifted his brows as he looked at Ning Shu. "What makes you think I would like Ling Xue?"

Wherever the female lead goes, males are instantly taken down. No man has hope of escaping the influence of the Mary Sue halo. Then there was the school doctor's capital. He was tall, handsome, and had a good physique. Most importantly, there was an upright yet also demonic aura that came from him, so he was very suitable for being a supporting male lead.

"Uncle ah, there are plenty of women in the world, what need is there to hang yourself on a single tree?" Ning Shu was practically about to cry. How the fuck was she supposed to defeat the female lead if this uncle had feelings for her?

She felt like she was about to fall apart. She was practically about to kneel and beg the school doctor uncle.

The school doctor rubbed his forehead as he looked at Ning Shu who was wailing in despair. He stomped Ning Shu's leg and crushed it hard.

Ao, fuck, owww! Ning Shu clasped her leg as she looked at the cold-hearted school doctor. As expected, she was cannon fodder. Life was so sad. If it was the female lead crying, he would have already pulled her into his arms. Even the most useless man would have at least handed over some tissues.

"Don't act this damned way in front of me, it's nauseating. Since you're ugly, don't act so pretentious," said the school doctor coldly.

The author's name is made of two parts. The very part is an emphasized 'very.' The second part is a term with multiple meanings, one of it being 'pretentious.'

Ning Shu: …

For some unknown reason, she felt like the current school doctor completely lacked the gentle as jade feeling she got when she first saw him.

Right now, not even the glasses could cover up the malicious aura in his eyes.

Crap, he couldn't be a fiend wearing human skin that was trying to destroy the world, right?

"How's your practice going? You can shoot now, right?" asked the school doctor uncle.

Ning Shu extended her hand and said with a slight tone of pride, "I can hit the five rings now."

What the fuck was five rings? The school doctor looked at Ning Shu strangely and said, "You couldn't be telling me that after practicing for so long, you're only capable of hitting the target, right?"

The smile on Ning Shu's face cracked. For some reason, when she heard the school doctor's disdainful tone, she felt like she was very useless. She had changed from a naive, moe little sis to a moe little sis that knew how to shoot. Wasn't that very deeply moving?

Ning Shu shamelessly called herself a moe little sis in her heart.

"You've probably made me to lose face in front of all the people in the shooting range." The school doctor looked at Ning Shu, his glasses shooting out a light bright as snow. It was filled with a sinister aura.
