Li Fei’er was ecstatic when she found out that the young woman who saved her and helped her kill the wraith last week, ended up being her new classmate. She couldn’t contain her happiness upon seeing Shen Minyao who had chosen to ignore her throughout their lessons and paid attention to their teacher. 

Shen Minyao was, of course, aware of the staring Li Fei’er was throwing her way. She couldn’t understand why this girl still wanted to be with her, even in this lifetime. Was Little Jiu’s connection towards the fox woman ingrained itself on her soul that she couldn’t help but be drawn to the fox? 

Thinking about it, the fox woman wondered if her stupid older brother—Little Jiu’s lover—still existed to this day. Had he perished somehow during her long slumber, or was he living amongst the humans till this day? If Qin Zhi was alive, she wondered if he blamed her for Little Jiu’s death or how he was faring these days. 

The bell rang once again, indicating that it was break time. Since Shen Minyao didn’t need to eat human food, she was planning to take a short ‘nap’ to clear her mind. However, her classmates didn’t allow her to do so. She had just stepped out of the classroom when the same group of girls surrounded her, their eyes showing hostility towards her. 

“How could the great Shen family produce such a wimp girl like you? How disgusting!” Xu Shenshen, the same girl who Shen Minyao threatened earlier with her indecent affair, spoke with a tone filled with disgust towards Shen Minyao. 

The bored nine-tailed fox stopped in her tracks, her eyes turning cold. After hearing their mockery, a cold smile curled her lips. Hadn’t she given this stupid girl a clear warning earlier? They better not try to provoke her, or else she would let them experience what the word ‘vicious’ truly meant! 

With that smile, those girls and the spectators who’d seen Shen Minyao felt like their hearts had been struck by something, and their heartbeats started to race. The girls currently giving her trouble were slightly confused by the sudden change of Shen Minyao’s demeanor, but not Xu Shenshen. She still couldn’t accept that Shen Minyao had grown some backbone and dared to talk back to them earlier. 

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Minyao with deep disdain towards the latter. In the past, this coward girl wouldn’t even dare to meet her gaze, so how dare this chicken look down on her now? 

“Shen Minyao, have you forgotten the lessons I taught you before?” She sneered at Shen Minyao. “Or do I need to remind you of your rightful place?” 

Shen Minyao tucked the stray lock of her hair behind her ear. According to her host’s memories, Xu Shenshen was one of the famous bullies at school, but no matter what she did, no one would dare to report her. She bullied people she didn’t like out of boredom, and she liked being the center of attention. 

The previous Shen Minyao was one of her favorite people to bully, not only because Shen Minyao looked ridiculous with her tasteless and old-fashioned styles, but also because Xu Shenshen was envious of her social status as a young miss of a wealthy family. Unlike Shen Qing, Shen Minyao had never had the courage to stand up for herself until now. 

In her host’s memories, the fox woman saw the snippets of when Xu Shenshen and her friends trapped Shen Minyao inside the ladies’ room and beat her up. The fox woman frowned at the scene that played on her mind. She couldn’t understand how her host remained silent during the abuse and never sought anyone’s help to stop the bullying. 

Seeing the arrogant smirk on Xu Shenshen’s face, Shen Minyao’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Xu Shenshen might be able to bully Shen Minyao… but not her. Striding towards the imposing, arrogant girl; Shen Minyao surprised everyone by punching Xu Shenshen right on her stomach. 

Xu Shenshen couldn’t understand what was happening and only felt the pain in her midsection. She then found herself on her knees, writhing in pain. How come a thin and weak girl like Shen Minyao had the strength of a grown-up man? 

Her stomach churned, and she vomited on the floor, much to everyone’s disgust. They pinched their noses and looked at her in disgust. 

Shen Minyao looked down at her with a cold gaze. As if it wasn’t enough, she snatched the orange drink from the hand of a guy near them, twisted the cap to open, and poured the contents over Xu Shenshen’s head—much to everyone’s shock. 

“Classmate Xu, the things you have done to me in the past… I haven’t forgotten any of it,” she said calmly, her eyes filled with killing intent. 

Even the people watching them could feel their knees shaking from just watching Shen Minyao. It was hard to believe that the Shen Minyao in front of them was capable of doing such a thing. 

Xu Shenshen’s eyes were stung with tears. She lifted her head up and glared furiously at Shen Minyao. 

“Shen Minyao! How dare you?! Do you think I would easily let you off? You wish! Don’t you know that everyone here is disgusted by you? An outsider who hasn’t taken an entrance exam shouldn’t be here! If it wasn’t for you using the influence of your family, you wouldn’t be here!” 

The students of Spring Hill High glanced at Shen Minyao. It wasn’t easy for them to get admitted to this school, given how hard the examinations they had to pass before they could attend this place. Of course, everyone was aware of the rumors of her skipping the entrance exam and was given a special pass by the headmistress of Spring Hill High. 

“Hey, stupid. Who told you I didn’t get the entrance exams to get admitted here? Should we go to the faculty room to find out who’s lying between the two of us?”
