Qing Hu's body trembled violently in anger.

"Do you think I don't have any money?!" ask the girl in annoyance.

"Well, it seems like that when you look at your clothes." replied Xika still innocently like before.

Qing Hu again shook violently holding back her anger. This time he even gritted his teeth. But after a while, his anger subsided. He looked back at Xika sweetly.

"All right, I'll take this." Qing Hu received the money that Xika gave her.

"But that means I can find you whenever I need money, right?" This time even Qing Hu gave a sweet wink. Instead of being enchanted, Xika frowned instead.

"Of course not. This time I've helped you, the next time you make money with your own business, dong."

Again. I don't know how many times these disciples were shocked by Xika. And now they were again surprised, but not by Xika but by Qing Hu. The girl gave a gaze that made people unable to bear to want to protect.

"Aduh~ Brother, my heart is very fragile. Can't you talk better?"

Xika looked at Qing Hu, then Xingli, then looked back at Qing Hu. He shifted his body behind Xingli then pushed the ice goddess forward two steps.

"Then you have much to learn from him."

"YYYYYYYYYY!"

"Fucking basics! He dared to touch our goddess, whom no one has touched?"

"I can't take it anymore. I'll beat him up!"

Xika touched both of Xingli's shoulders. And it succeeded in making the anger of the disciples reach its peak. Unfortunately before they could vent their anger, two figures blocked them.

"If you can't keep your mouth shut, I will make your mouth shut forever" Huo Bing said with a gaze that made the disciples take two steps back.

'Dangerous. We forget they are strong too.'

While the disciples were made silent by Huo Bing's words, Qing Hu was rendered speechless by Xika. Also Xingli. The girl did not react at all even though Xika had already touched and pushed her. He had never seen Xingli like this before.

"Already, already. You don't fuck Xika anymore."

Finally Wu Liao spoke. He could not bear to see Qing Hu who usually always won arguing with men made not warted by Xika.

Xika turned her head to look at Wu Liao who was smiling at her. He forgot the girl's existence.

"How are you?" wu Liao asked with a sweet smile.

His smile and Qing Hu's smile were two different types. If Qing Hu's smile was a charming smile that captivated many, then Wu Liao's smile was a smile that was pure of kindness, sincere from the bottom of his heart.

"Bad." said Xika with a smile. Unfortunately, Xika's smile was not a sincere smile based on the heart, but a smile of formality given by a host to his guests.

Wu Liao realized Xika's smile. I don't know why his heart felt pain. Especially when she heard Xika's answer. His mind drifted back to that day. The day he spent what he thought was quite a fun time.

But eventually it turns into a memory that always feels painful every time remembered. To this day, he continues to question his decision. Is he right? Or was he wrong? Unfortunately, he still doesn't know the answer to this point.

"Then....how was your day here?" Wu Liao asked awkwardly.

"good. I defeated a disciple of a great power who ended up sending people to finish me off. I was followed by a few people all day, the night I had to fight to get a bed. The next morning I was taken by all the students present. Nothing could be better than that" said Xika sarcasm. But his tone was completely relaxed so some people became confused.

"What's? Xika was attacked by disciples from the great powers? Who's that?"

"That's not what matters. The important thing was that Xika had offended a great power and was still alive to this day."

"I think it's more important that he's currently talking to three of the Four Most Beautiful Girls and we can only look at him."

Although Huo Bing glared sharply, he could not stop the disciples from discussing. What Xika said was truly an uproar to everyone present, including Wu Liao, Qing Hu, and Xingli. The three of them looked at Xika with complicated gazes.

"Alright, enough with your gazes," Xika turned to look at Xingli, "You don't want to give advice? Or take me around? I've only been here two days, you know!"

Qing Hu looked at Xika in annoyance. Now he realized that this man Wu Liao was talking about was no ordinary person. He guessed it was this kind of attitude that made Wu Liao interested in him. To be honest, even Qing Hu himself was starting to get interested in Xika.

Admittedly, no one had acted like Xika to her all this time. And he felt the challenge. A challenge to get the man to bend his knees under him.

Before Xika answered, or had time to react, Wu Liao had already spoken.

"I-I can take you for a walk!"

It took a great deal of courage for Wu Liao to speak like that. Unfortunately, it did not take more than a split second for Xika to answer Wu Liao's invitation.

"Not interested. Thank you." Thank you." Xika refused Wu Liao's invitation outright.

"Damn it! Goddess Wu invites you to talk, can't you answer politely? Bastard!"

Finally some students who could not bear to see Xika's attitude let out their anger. Forgetting Huo Bing's existence for a moment.

Xika turned her head and found the angry disciples. He looked at them while letting out his aura.

SWOSH!

It turned out to be very effective. All the disciples who had rushed forward to attack Xika now walked back obediently while pouring cold sweat.

At that moment, neither Xingli, Wu Liao, nor Qing Hu were surprised to feel Xika's aura. Each has its own thoughts.

Qing Hu smiled inwardly. It seems that the rumors circulating are not just hearsay. He became more interested in Xika. The aura that the man exuded earlier was not an ordinary aura. Even he felt a little depressed.

Wu Liao recalled that day when he sensed Xika's aura. Xika has grown a lot. Did the events of that day affect him so much? As she recalled, Xika did not have this kind of terrifying aura. What had he done all this time to obtain such an aura?

While Xingli, his eyes showed shock. He felt the familiarity of that aura.

"So? You don't want to take me around?" Xika turned around and made the three girls come to a realization from their minds. For a moment Wu Liao thought Xika was talking to him, then he realized that Xika was talking to Xingli.

Xingli closed his eyes for a moment before walking forward. As usual, without saying a word.

"Well, I take that as an agreement" Xika said as she walked after Xingli.

"Huo Bing, Heiliao! We finally have a driver!"

Meanwhile, Wu Liao was staring at the backs of the two people with a complicated feeling in his heart. There are feelings of resentment, guilt, sadness and others that are mixed in his heart until he does not know what he feels and how he really feels.

Without him noticing, Qi Hu was staring at him and noticing the change in his expression.

"You like that guy so much, huh?"

"Eh?! Wh-what's...Nah! You're wrong!"

"Hmmm....." Qing Hu looked at Wu Liao with an interrogating look. After that he turned around and looked at Xika and Xingli's backs who were getting further away.

"My advice is, you better follow them."

"E-Eh?!"

And that's how they ended up walking together. Three men, three women. Heiliao-Xingli, Xika-Wu Liao, Huo Bing-Qing Hu. Each of them with similar but also different personalities walked together around the academy.

"Ehh....why are they also coming with us?"

"Why are you asking me? Just ask them."

"........"

"Eh? What if we come?"

"......."

Heiliao and Xingli walked at the very front not caring for those who were noisy at the back, but each kept their distance from each other. And Xika could feel an aura of hostility emanating from the two.

"Are we interrupting?" wu Liao asked carefully.

"More or less." It was fortunate that Huo Bing had already answered representing Xika.

"Hey, we women know! Can't you speak more politely?"

"No. Men and women are the same. If you ask us to speak to you more politely just because you're a woman it means you're asking us to belittle women."

"Ukh....." Qing Hu could not answer Xika's words while Wu Liao could not stop himself from being restless. That sentence of Xika seemed to express agreement with Huo Bing, in other words Xika also felt that Qing Hu and herself were interfering.

To be honest, Xika did not care much about the existence of Wu Liao or Qing Hu. It was just that while walking with them, Xika could feel all the glare of the eyes looking at her. And it's very disturbing.

Realizing that they were in the limelight by being in front, Heiliao and Xingli slowed their pace until now both were in the very back position. Of course the two were still keeping their distance and exuding a great amount of hostility.

"Well, if you can get rid of all those disturbing views, then I will retract my words" Huo Bing said. He had given a sharp look, but still many people were still watching them.

"Heh, you're the center of attention for walking with us. You should be thanking us."

"I'd be grateful if you could get out of here right now."

"Ohhh....."

The words that Xika spoke were so straightforward and wordless. Qing Hu returned uncomfortably before Xika. To be honest, that's what makes Xika so attractive. He began to understand why Wu Liao was interested in Xika.

As a fellow beautiful girl, Qing Hu also experienced what Wu Liao was going through. Their beautiful parasites make many people be kind to them, especially men. Many men try to approach them and always be nice. But it was precisely because of that that they were shocked and confused facing Xika.

Xika seemed to be completely indifferent to their looks and treated them like ordinary people. Things neither Qing Hu nor Wu Liao had ever felt.

But...why is his attitude towards Xingli so different from theirs?
