Chapter 70

With a heavy heart, Zhan Yi arrived at Dong Dabao’s classroom. Just a moment ago, the guy had sent him a message saying he had some great news and asked him to come quickly. Zhan Yi thought he might have some information about Mai.

However, when Zhan Yi reached Dong Dabao’s class, he found that their class meeting had just ended, and the students hadn’t left yet. He had to wait at the door until the students gradually left the classroom, and only then did he see Dong Dabao.

"Boss, I have some great news for you!" As soon as he saw Zhan Yi, Dong Dabao grabbed his hand.

"What good news? Tell me quickly. Do you know where Mai is staying?" Zhan Yi asked eagerly.

"Isn't she staying with the Moer clan? I didn't mean to tell you that. I wanted to tell you that Hu Meier, one of the school beauties, has transferred to our class. Didn't you say you used to have a crush on her? You'll get to see her in a bit, hehe..." Dong Dabao shook his head and said with a smug look.

"Oh, just that? I’m not really interested anymore." Zhan Yi felt a sudden sense of disappointment.

In the past, he had indeed had a crush on Hu Meier. Actually, more than eighty percent of the boys in the school had a crush on her because she was the sexiest of all the school beauties, with the best figure. But now he was worried about Mai, and hearing about other women just made him feel restless.

"Ah, Boss, you can't be serious. She’s the sexiest girl in the school. Look, she’s coming out." Dong Dabao seemed clearly dissatisfied with Zhan Yi’s reaction but quickly pulled him to look at the classroom door.

At that moment, a beautiful girl walked out of the classroom. Her oval face was delicate, her lips were bright red, her nose was small and upturned, her cheeks were smooth, and her fine eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Her large, watery eyes carried a hint of arrogance, and her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, exuding a youthful charm. Most importantly, in her tight black strapless top, her chest was prominently raised, almost spilling out, contrasting with her slender waist and the white, smooth legs visible under her skirt, making a strong impact on any man’s heart.

However, the beauty seemed to find the attention from the boys uninteresting, even somewhat annoying. She glanced coldly around, but when she saw Zhan Yi, her eyes suddenly stopped, and she walked directly towards him.

Zhan Yi, of course, also recognized Hu Meier, but he was even more surprised because he felt a familiar aura emanating from her. This aura was the same as the one from the masked girl he had saved on Zhongnan Mountain. Considering her figure, Zhan Yi couldn’t help but marvel at how small the world was, as the girl he had once had a crush on turned out to be the female demon he had saved.

Moreover, through Hu Meier’s name, Zhan Yi vaguely confirmed her origin. Hu Meier meant "fox charm," so she was indeed a demon, and more specifically, a fox demon.

This discovery made Zhan Yi want to turn and run. He didn’t want to get involved with a fox demon, especially since the matter with Mai was still unresolved. If another fox demon caused trouble, it would only make things more difficult.

But his thoughts were good, and Hu Meier had already blocked his path. "Hehe, classmate, why are you running? Do I look that ugly?" she asked, giggling.

Zhan Yi looked up at Hu Meier. He knew she had already recognized him and that he couldn’t run now. So, he said guardedly, "What do you want?"

"Classmate, why are you so nervous? I just wanted to thank you for your help the other day. If it weren’t for you doing a good deed, I might have been taken advantage of by those thugs. Would you like to have lunch with me today?" Hu Meier didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated her intention, emphasizing the words "good deed."

"This... no need, Hu classmate. If you want to thank someone, thank my friend here. I don’t want to have lunch with you." Zhan Yi saw Hu Meier getting closer, and the alluring fragrance from her body made him feel uneasy. He quickly found an excuse and pushed Dong Dabao forward.

"Hehe, Hu classmate, our boss thinks he’s not suitable for you, but I am. Please invite me," Dong Dabao, who had been watching from the side, was delighted at this opportunity and quickly said with a sincere look.

Hu Meier didn’t expect Zhan Yi to use this tactic. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she didn’t know what to do. But just then, a voice from the crowd said, "Haha, Hu Meier, how can these two poor guys be worthy of having lunch with you? Look at their pitiful, inferior looks. How about this: if you don’t mind, I’ll take you to the Hilton Hotel for lunch today. What do you say?"

This voice quickly drew everyone’s attention. They turned to see a boy in casual clothes walking slowly towards Hu Meier, with six or seven other boys helping to clear the way for him.

Zhan Yi and Dong Dabao, of course, also saw this boy. Zhan Yi wasn’t interested in Hu Meier, but being called a poor guy in front of so many people was something he couldn’t tolerate.

Hu Meier, seeing the boy, seemed somewhat annoyed but didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned to look at Zhan Yi.

Zhan Yi knew that if he didn’t speak up now, he would be seen as a poor guy. Thinking this, he grabbed Hu Meier’s hand and put on a reluctant expression. "Sigh... I didn’t want to have lunch with you, but if I don’t, some self-important fool will be smug. So, I think we should go together."

Hu Meier had been waiting for Zhan Yi to say this. She nodded vigorously and said in a very coquettish manner, "Mm-hm, that’s what I thought. You’re so kind."

With that, she tried to pull Zhan Yi away, but just as they turned, the boy who had just arrived couldn’t hold back. He rushed to Zhan Yi and shouted angrily, "Kid, you stop right there. Who did you call a fool just now?"

Zhan Yi looked at him disdainfully and said very seriously, "I’m telling you now, I called you a fool. As long as you exist, you’re the only fool, and everyone can see that."

"Damn, kid, are you asking for it?" The boy, hearing Zhan Yi’s words, raised his hand to slap him.

But Zhan Yi wasn’t someone he could hit. He easily blocked the slap, grabbed the boy’s hair, and kneed him in the stomach.

"Ah... Kid, you dare to hit me." The boy screamed in pain, clutching his stomach.

Zhan Yi’s expression became even more disdainful. He pulled the boy’s face towards him and coughed, spitting on his face. "Damn, I’m hitting you."

Everyone was stunned, but the boys who had come with the other boy quickly reacted. One of them shouted, "Kid, you dare to hit Young Master Zhao. Do you want to be expelled from school? We’ll beat him up."

Saying this, one of them punched Zhan Yi. Zhan Yi didn’t fight back; instead, he pulled Young Master Zhao’s hair and turned his face towards the punch. There was a loud thud as the punch hit Young Master Zhao’s nose.

There was a scream. Young Master Zhao’s nose started bleeding, and one of his eyes turned black, along with the spit on his face, making a spectacular sight.

Zhan Yi didn’t hesitate. He pushed Young Master Zhao aside and laughed at the guy who had thrown the punch. "Haha... You’re in trouble now. I didn’t hit your Young Master; you did, and it looks pretty serious."

Young Master Zhao, with one eye swollen shut and the other barely open, glared at the guy who had hit him. "Damn, you dared to hit me. I’ll kill you." He lunged at the guy.

Zhan Yi took advantage of the chaos to pull Hu Meier through the crowd and escape, leaving the onlookers laughing at Young Master Zhao beating up his own follower.
