San Wu nodded and grabbed hold of Li Xianyu as she prepared to barge through the door.

“Hold on, hold on…” Li Xianyu held her back. “We can’t take the outside path. Let’s jump out of the window. Yes, the window.”

San Wu nodded as the two of them walked to the window. Li Xianyu looked downwards and remained silent for a while. “For…forget it, let’s barge out then.”

They were on the sixth floor. He had a fear of heights. To him, he would rather have been surrounded by girls instead of attempting to jump out of the window.

“Hang on, let me disguise myself.” Li Xianyu took off his jacket and used it to cover his head, only revealing his eyes. This was an inspiration that he had gotten from a certain female toilet that had caught fire. The bottom was the same. Covering his face would be enough.

By this time, the footsteps outside were audible. It looked like those girls who had more guts had come over to see what was going on.

He could no longer stay with her. He lowered his head and made his way out of the girls’ toilet.

The scenes in front of him shocked him, despite having prepared himself mentally beforehand. There were many girls standing along the corridor, while many others popped out from the rooms.

“Ooh, a man, not a ghost.”

“I was scared to death. It’s actually a human. Don’t be afraid, everyone, come out.”

“There’s a girl as well, what were they doing in the toilet?”

“What else? That girl is pretty. Which room is she from? She’s bold, bringing her boyfriend to the toilet to engage in that. How adventurous.”

Once they realised that there were no ghosts, the girls were no longer afraid. They congregated at the toilet, encouraging other people to see the spectacle that was unfolding in front of them.

What made it worse was that they were filming with their phones.

Li Xianyu said to himself, “Fuck, lucky I prepared. My reputation would have been ruined.”

He lowered his head further and prepared to barge through the barricade of girls.

“Scram. What age is this? Haven’t you seen this before?”

….

“Don’t block the way. If you’re envious, bring your own boyfriend here.”

…

“I’ll turn nasty if you keep pulling at my mask.”

…

“Scram, scram, scram!”

…

Evidently, he had underestimated a woman’s ferocity. They refused to compromise. Some of them even tugged at the shirt he had used to cover his face, while others tugged at his waist area and his arms. They did not want to let him leave, without getting a glimpse of his face.

San Wu followed behind him, appearing even more composed than the audience. She had done her homework. They were all low grade creatures who did not pose a significant threat to Li Xianyu.

Li Xianyu had just reached the staircase when he encountered the hostel manager with two security guards. The manager pointed at Li Xianyu and bellowed, “Stop him! Don’t let him leave!”

Li Xianyu pointed at them and bellowed back, “San Wu, save me!”

San Wu replied in a frank manner, “Company rules: no striking out at mortals.”

Li Xianyu’s heart sank. He was easily subdued by the security guards without any resistance. There was still a mark on his shoulder, which was left behind by the female spirit. There was no superficial wound, but it felt cold to the touch, which caused him to be unable to use his strength. Furthermore, his problematic kidneys had weakened his health recently.

The hostel manager, under the purview of everyone, removed the shirt that was covering his face, revealing his true identity.

“Snap! Snap!”

Rows of lights started to flash. The scene was just like a star walking down the red carpet.

…

Half an hour later, at the side of the two streets of the university.

Great-Grandma and San Wu walked side by side. The former looked at her grandson, with a worried look. She frowned, “Will he be able to take it?”

San Wu did not answer her and walked her own path, leaving her alone to blabber to herself.

“It’s all your fault. You can’t even protect someone. Just jump out of the window with him and get him out of danger!” Great-Grandma remarked to San Wu.

San Wu turned back and answered doubtfully, “He didn’t get hurt.”

Great-Grandma answered pitifully, feeling sorry for her grandson. “He’s physically okay, but not internally… Never mind. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

At this instant, she saw Li Xianyu squat down slowly, covering his face and started to cry.

My name is Li Xianyu. I managed to break out of the female hostel.

…

Under the lights, some girls recognised Li Xianyu and remarked in an alarmed manner. “Aiya, isn’t this Li Xianyu from our class?”

“Your class? Nice, your class has someone famous already.”

“Why’s he here at night? To steal girls’ undergarments?”

“What do you mean? He was having sex with his girlfriend in the toilet. How interesting.”

“This fella is quite handsome. Let’s circulate this.”

“I’ll send this to the school forums.”

“To the class groups.”

Amidst the discussion, Great-Grandma finally arrived. She raised her leg and kicked the security guard aside, while using her other hand to slap the other guard. Then, she picked Li Xianyu up and managed to escape.

Although Great-Grandma’s powers had been sealed, she still had the capacity to deal with other normal humans.

She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion or not. She felt that she had rescued a hollow person from the hostel. Her grandson’s soul had disappeared.

Great-Grandma stepped forward and caressed her grandson’s head while consoling him gently, “It’s alright. Your mission was to get rid of the spirit there. You were doing good deeds for them. They’re narrow minded and despicable, not understanding your intentions. Just ignore them.”

Li Xianyu covered his face and continued to cry. “Great-Grandma, I’m a person with dignity as well… I want to drop out of school.”

“Let’s do it then.”

“I want a change of guardian.”

“Let’s go to the company and have her changed tomorrow. What a wretch.”

San Wu replied indignantly, “Your Great-Grandma wouldn’t let me save you.”

Suddenly, Li Xianyu’s cries stopped as the air stood still.

“I want to change a Great-Grandma.”

Great-Grandma’s face turned pale as her mood sank. “This, this isn’t good. After all, your blood flows in my body…”

Li Xianyu flew into a rage as he grabbed a hold of Great-Grandma, shaking her violently. “What feud do I have with you? What feud? What kind of Great-Grandma do I have? You’re just a fraud left behind by my father, so that you could exploit me. You caused me not to be able to have an erection. Now, you want to destroy my reputation. Don’t I have some dignity?”

Great-Grandma was a full head shorter than Li Xianyu. As Li Xianyu shook her, the lumps of fat in front of her chest shook violently as well.

“That’s enough!” Great-Grandma slapped him back fiercely.

“You and your foul mouth! Your dad and your ancestors did not dare to speak to me in this way. I have spoilt you by not hanging you upside down and spanking you. You just waste your days away. If you were half as capable as your dad, would you be in this state now? How long do you think Baoze can protect you for? How long more can I protect you for? When someone else places a knife at your neck, it’s too late,” Great-Grandma remarked in a stern manner. “You think you’re safe? The thing that your dad brought out from the Great Deities Palace is still yet to be found. Everyone is after your life now. There are only two kinds of people in the world: the prey and the predators. If you don’t want to be killed, then toughen up.”

Li Xianyu was stunned. After so long, this was the first time he had seen Great-Grandma speaking in this manner to him, chiding him sternly.

That bubbly, cute Great-Grandma… The Great-Grandma who threw cute tantrums. It no longer seemed to be her.

The real Great-Grandma was serious, stern and intimidating. Her face was still pretty, with that mole on the side of her face. However, the aura she gave off was so imposing that people did not dare to look at her directly in the eye.

She stared at him for a while more, before turning gentle. “Alright, alright, I’ll give you all my snacks. Don’t cry anymore.”

Li Xianyu pushed her hand aside and stood up.

The three of them stood there, just like this. San Wu, who did not have a heart or a conscience, looked at the two of them. Suddenly, her eyes brightened up as she said, “Let me tell a joke to lighten the awk…star atmosphere.”

The two of then shouted in unison, “Scram.”

Li Xianyu corrected her. “It’s pronounced as awkward, not star.”

Whenever San Wu encountered a word she didn’t know, she would replace it with “Star”.

San Wu nodded in acknowledgement.

“So, in other words, what did my dad bring out of the Great Deities Palace? What kind of place is that?” Li Xianyu looked at Great-Grandma.

“It’s you,” Great-Grandma replied.
