Chapter 16

"Qin Yang!" The teacher called out my name.

"Oh, here!" I stood up abruptly, my mind wandering.

"Pay attention in class. What did I just say?" This was a history class, taught by a middle-aged woman surnamed Mo.

"Well, it's about the... connections between the three realms!"

"What is the content?"

"The content is... that the gods, humans, and demons exist in three different worlds. The people in ancient times believed that The Divine Realm was high in the sky, 90,000 miles above, and beneath it, 90,000 miles below, was The Demon Realm - hell. But in reality, it was proven that the sky is dark space and the underground is hot molten lava. So the three realms are connected by inter-realm gates, with two gates located at the extremes of The Human Realm."

"Hmm..." The teacher seemed somewhat amazed. Honestly, I was also surprised. How did I suddenly know so much? I haven't even studied this lesson yet!

"What is the so-called 'small path'?" the teacher continued to ask.

"As long as the gates are open, the three realms can communicate with each other in various special ways, such as magic arrays, teleportation stones, altars, etc. These are all shortcuts for crossing realms, commonly referred to as 'small paths.'" It's strange. Why did that come out so smoothly?

The teacher took a deep breath, seemingly resigned to the fact that I had been distracted in class. "Sit down!"

"Hey, hey... so you actually knew all that!" the classmate behind me asked curiously.

At this point, I could only tell the truth. "I don't know anything. I was just making it up!"

"You're kidding! But even if you made it up, it's correct!"

"I can only say that I got lucky."

"The students in the back, don't talk!" the teacher warned, turning back to the front of the classroom.

"Yang!" After class, everyone gathered in small groups, gossiping about various things. At this moment, someone called out to me from behind.

I turned around and realized it was Yao!

"You came to find me. Is there something you need?"

"Not really, but my parents are out on a trip today!"

"Oh..." Dad told me early this morning that they were going on a trip and asked me to take care of myself for the next two days until they return.

"My mom said come to my house for dinner tonight!"

"Sounds good. It's been a long time since I had your mom's cooking!" Yao's mom's dishes are so delicious and always leave a lasting impression. Plus, Yao inherited her mom's cooking skills, but Qing's cooking skills are only average~

"I heard that you and my sister had a date last night. Is that true?" Yao suddenly asked.

"Um, it wasn't a date. We just walked together after school. If you don't believe me, ask your sister." It's better not to say anything until things are official.

"I asked my sister, but she didn't say anything. Ugh, I'll see you after school then."

"Sure..."

As soon as Qing left our teacher's sight, there were several resentful gazes that seemed to pierce through me like knives.

"Ahem..." A male classmate pulled out a chair and sat down in front of me, pityingly saying, "As your classmate, I have to remind you that publicly showing affection is a short-lived affair!"

"Hey! Don't curse me, it's just friendly interactions between neighbors. Why do you guys have so many boring thoughts? I'm not a manga protagonist or a harem lord who can have multiple romantic partners~"

"I'm also just enjoying friendly interactions with my classmates. Anyway, the current class monitor of the neighboring class has already announced that if you continue to get close to Qing and Yao, the high, rich, and handsome guys from first, second, and third grades will unite and... snip!" He made a scissors gesture with his hand.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Don't think being a high priest in your family can help you retrieve 'that thing'. If you really do it, it will hurt you!"

"Take that!" At that time, I didn't care about what he said. I really didn't want to worry about it.

After 5 PM in the afternoon, just half a minute after class ended, I was already impatiently leaving the classroom. I hadn't seen Qing all day, but it didn't matter. I could see her soon, and I had the urge to smile. Everyone looked pleasant.

"Xiaoyang!"

"Qing...oh, it's Yao! I mistook you for Qing."

"Hmm...not happy. Xiaoyang mistook me for my sister. That's rare!" Yao furrowed her brows and looked at me, feeling like I was very pleased with myself.

"It's nothing. It's normal to make a mistake occasionally. You and your sister look so similar, and you even have the same hairstyle."

She twirled her hair and said, "Since we were little, my sister and I always went to the same hairstylist, so of course our hairstyles are the same. Xiaoyang, let's go back together!"

"No, I have plans. You can go back with Wenxin. Oh, by the way, where is your sister?"

"My sister ran off as soon as school ended. It's the first time she didn't tell me where she was going."

"Thanks, I'm leaving now!"

"Remember to come and have dinner!"

"I'll be there on time!"

Yesterday at the park, using a basic wind magic spell, it should only take about fifteen minutes to get there, even if it means exhausting my magic power.

Sometimes things won't turn out as good as imagined. I had only taken a few steps away from school when I was caught and brought to the nearby empty basketball court.

The other person was a wind magic user, obviously a lower-level magic practitioner, but dealing with me was as easy as flipping a hand.

"Monitor, I brought him!"

"Are you sure no one followed?"

"I don't think so!"

"Don't just guess, if the school finds out and scolds both of us, won't you go and see if there are any other idle people around?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go now."

The magic he used just made me dizzy. When I regained my senses and looked around, I saw boys wearing our school uniforms from left to right.

"It's you again!"

"Sigh~~~ It's not just me today, there are others too. Anyone who has ever pursued Xiao Qiong and Xiao Yao, both sisters, in the past year is here." There were probably dozens of people behind him. There were one or two confessions every week, and confessions don't usually happen only once. There were at least four or five confessions that week. Qiong and Yao have extraordinary charm!

Brushing off the dirt on my body, I stood up calmly and said, "Do you need something? If not, I'll go first. I have something to do."

"You want to run, huh!" The monitor from the next class pulled me back. "Don't think I don't know where you went! You made an appointment with Xiao Qiong~~~"

"How did you know?!"

"I also know that you spent last night with Xiao Qiong, and then went to the Xiao family for a free meal today! You didn't take what I said to heart, did you?!!!" He kept poking me with his finger. What the hell!

"I'll say it again, I won't leave my friends. It's impossible!"

"Well~~~ Everyone heard that! Since he doesn't want to, let's not be polite~"

"What do you want to do!"

"That guy, you can use water magic on him, just create a water membrane. It doesn't have to be too thick, as long as it can't be broken!"

"Monitor, why would you randomly use a water membrane on him?"

"I'm kind-hearted. I'll give him a water membrane. We can't afford to kill him if we don't handle it properly later."

"Oh~~~ But do we still need the small scissors?"

"Yes, who said we didn't? After beating him up, give him a small cut~~"

Seeing them like this, I'm probably going to get beaten up again, and then the small scissors will come out. Oh no~~~~ This time won't be easy.

These people started warming up, rolling up their sleeves and smiling evilly as they surrounded me. It looked like they were about to start beating me!

"Um, I'm fine with you guys punching me a few times, but can we skip the small scissors part?"

"Only if you agree to a condition, otherwise the small scissors will come out!"

"You~~~ I won't agree." Damn, they want to force me to succumb, but I have my pride!

"Classmates, beat him up first, and then give him a small cut~~~" He waved his hand, and the whole screen flashed. Cough cough~~~ I've played games a lot, so I know they were channeling their magic power into their hands, driving the elements to move. This time, it's going to hurt even if I don't want it to, and magic injuries aren't easily healed within an hour.

Instinctively, I protected my head. It's fine to hit my body, just not my face!

Huh? Surprisingly, they still haven't attacked.

I opened my eyes and saw half of a water prison in front of me, blocking their magic.

This magic power, it feels very familiar. How rare!

"What are you guys doing! Bullying my little Yang!" Yao, when did I become a part of your family?

"Brother!" Wenxin rushed into the crowd, running to my side and grabbing my arm.

"Why are you here?"

"We came with the person who took you away!" Wenxin frowned, looking at the boy who brought me here.

"You idiot, didn't I ask you to make sure no one followed? How did they manage to catch up!" The monitor scolded his subordinates continuously.

"I don't want to! What should we do if someone is following us and the monitor didn't mention it?"

"Oh my goodness! I have to teach you even this? You'll regret it later!"

"Hey! Let Xiao Yang go!" Yao pleaded for my release, but they didn't give in so easily.

"Hehe~~ Sure, we'll let him go if he becomes my girlfriend."

"Hey, why not ask for our opinion first? Why does he have to be your girlfriend? We refuse!" The group of people next to the monitor immediately voiced their objections.

"Well~~~ How about she takes turns being each of our girlfriends for a week?"

"Hey~~ Good idea!"

"Good idea my foot! What do you think we are? Treating me like that is an insult to any girl!"

"But you don't have a choice. If you want him to be released, those are the conditions. You decide." The monitor from the neighboring class said arrogantly, "Your sister gave me a hand yesterday, and my hand is still numb. This is what you get!"

"It serves you right that my sister slapped you! Who told you to bully Xiao Yang!"

He put his arm around Yao's waist, "Either leave immediately, or be our girlfriend. There's no third option."

"You bastard!" Without thinking, Yao slapped him!

"You!" The monitor covered his face, his eyes turning red from anger. "Dare to hit me? I've hated being slapped since I was a child! Take off her clothes and give him some punishment."

He turned to the group of people and grinned. They immediately understood what he meant and seemed a bit impatient.

"If you animals dare to touch Yao, I won't let it go!"

"Ah Qi, give him a hundred and eighty punches, and then use your small scissors. Bring his sister too."

They grabbed Wen Xin forcefully. She resisted with all her strength, but I held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

"Fuck, just knock her out and bring her over!"

They picked up a wooden stick and knocked Wen Xin unconscious. Then they hit my arm, causing me so much pain that I had to let go.

"Let go of my sister! Let go~~~" I was dragged to the edge of the field and my hands were cuffed to the iron railings.

"Sss~~" Wen Xin and Yao's clothes were torn.

Their bras were exposed, but I really didn't have the heart to look. Two girls were being bullied in front of me, and I was going to be humiliated. This was the most pathetic day of my life.

If I had the power I had seven years ago, I would kill them all, leaving not a single one behind.

My anger had reached its peak, and I felt like I was about to break through my limits.

At this moment, the small scissors were already under my pants pocket, just one centimeter away.

"Really, just a little longer and the seal will be broken. But if I let this small scissors go unused, I'll become a eunuch. Who knows when I'll get another chance next time, sigh~~~" Bai Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah~~~" Suddenly, a barrage of light blades flew out, instantly knocking the small scissors away and knocking down me and the others.

"They both belong to me!" I stood straight on top of the crowd, my eyes shining in a sky blue color, a divine sight that everyone who saw it would admire!
