It's been a week since Shen Minyao returned to school, and the drastic change in her deanor and personality had been the talk of her classmates. Far from the mousy Shen Minyao who avoided eting everyone's gazes, the Shen Minyao that returned had easily earned everyone's attention without doing anything.
The fox woman walked casually in the hallways of the school building. The top two buttons of her blouse were left undone, revealing her smooth and pale collarbones; while her school coat was wrapped securely on her hips, giving her a more carefree look.
She was drinking a strawberry yogurt drink, with her right hand buried inside the side pocket of her skirt. The fox woman still found it odd how won used less fabric to dress these days. She supposed that it couldn't be helped as humans constantly encountered change and easily succumbed to it.
As she made her way to her new favorite spot to take a short nap, she was obstructed by a group of students with Xu Shenshen leading them. Shen Minyao arched a brow and looked at Xu Shenshen blankly. She hadn't seen this stupid girl ever since their last encounter at the ladies' room.
With the way Xu Shenshen acted smug around her, the fox woman was slightly disappointed that Xu Shenshen could only think of seeking revenge towards her like this. Did this girl really think asking a local gang to beat her would suffice? Xu Shenshen must be dreaming.
"Shen Minyao, I'm here to settle the score between us!" Xu Shenshen crossed her arms over her chest and gave Shen Minyao a dirty look. Soone inford her earlier that Shen Minyao had been going to this deserted part of the school during lunch break. How could she waste such an opportunity to corner Shen Minyao?
The fox woman only stared and continued sipping her newest favorite drink. She had never tasted such delicacy made by the humans in her past life. This was the only innovation of the humans she encountered since her awakening.
As for Xu Shenshen, she must be deluding herself if she thought that a bunch of clowns pretending to be grown-ups was enough to intimidate Shen Minyao.
"Ah, Classmate Xu." Shen Minyao chuckled before taunting with a wicked smile gracing her lips. "And here I thought you learned your lessons already. Must be hard to teach an old dog a new trick."
Xu Shenshen was caught off-guard by Shen Minyao's reaction. Shouldn't she tremble in fear now? Had she sohow lost her mind? Since when did Shen Minyao beco so fearless?
Xu Shenshen scoffed. It didn't matter if Shen Minyao changed because she wouldn't be able to escape this ti.
"You still have the nerve to be cocky?" She sneered. "Shen Minyao, today, I'll let you know what despair and fear feel like."
Shen Minyao finished her drink and regretted not asking Fu Xiyan to buy her more. Anyway, with her appetite temporarily satiated, there's no need for her to hold back.
"Despair and fear, you say?" She pulled her right hand from her pocket and hid her amused smile behind it while looking at Xu Shenshen like the latter had just told her a joke. Humans. They really didn't know their limitations.
The n Xu Shenshen brought with her looked brutal and arrogant, nothing that the fox woman hadn't seen in her long life. Even if Xu Shenshen brought more, it wouldn't be enough to subdue Shen Minyao. They then surrounded her, with wide grins on their faces. So were holding bats, while the others were getting ready to pounce on her.
From the corner of her eye, Shen Minyao could see the excitent on Xu Shenshen's face. Ah, she couldn't wait to see what kind of expression Xu Shenshen would make once she witnessed how useless her attempt was.
"Eh? Then, let's see if you are capable." Shen Minyao snickered, her eyes gleaming with amusent.
The other two girls accompanying Xu Shenshen laughed, waiting for the fun to start.
"Oh, don't go too hard on Classmate Shen. You might ruin her pretty face~" One of them sang out.
"Oh, no. Classmate Shen must be thinking it's unfair," the other one replied.
"Calm down, girls. It was Classmate Shen who asked for it. How can I ignore her request?" Xu Shenshen laughed as she watched Shen Minyao be surrounded by the n she hired to assault her. Shen Minyao would pay dearly for what she had done.
Still, Shen Minyao remained unperturbed. Instead, she looked as calm and collected as if none of these bothered her at all.
"Well? You are wasting my ti by standing like fools there." She eyed the humans surrounding her. None of them slled like a demon. They were rely humans that took pleasure in making fun of another.
"She's quite feisty." The leader of the gang laughed out loud toward his companions. "Perhaps, she really needed a good beating to know her right place."
"A trash talking about the right place?" Shen Minyao humd and rubbed her chin as she gave it a thought. "The trash bin is over there." She then pointed her forefinger at the nearest bin she'd seen earlier.
"Why, you!" The leader was infuriated by Shen Minyao's nonchalant attitude. "You dare to look down on us?!" He lifted the steel pipe he was holding, his eyes blinded with rage.
Xu Shenshen's eyes widened in anticipation, wanting to see Shen Minyao fail miserably. She couldn't wait to hear Shen Minyao beg for her life, to admit that she was wrong to offend such a person like Xu Shenshen. As her eyes focused on the steel pipe that was about to hit Shen Minyao's head, sothing happened that none of them expected.
As the steel pipe neared Shen Minyao's head, she lifted her left hand and caught it in midair, shocking everyone who witnessed the scene.. Her long hair fluttered behind her as the impact of the steel reached her bare hand.
