Chapter 363 Suspicion!
Junior Martial Sister Jian glanced at Tang Li Xue and clenched her fist harder while wondering why her poison did not show its effect yet until now.
Tang Li Xue sensed the gaze from Junior Martial Sister Jian, so she looked back at Junior Sister Jian and smiled at her.
Tang Li Xue"s smile was so sweet and innocent. Anyone who saw this smile would instantly be smitten by her beauty, and they would probably never be able to detect any mischievous intention behind her smile.
Looking at Tang Li Xue"s mesmerizing smile, the jealousy and envy in Junior Sister Jian"s heart were burning more fiercely. She could not wait to tear Tang Li Xue"s face into pieces and see if Tang Li Xue could still smile by then.
Getting hated by so many narrow-minded females was the biggest demerit of having excessive beauty, and also the reason why Tang Li Xue chose to cover her stunningly beautiful face with a fox mask.
Getting hated by this Junior Sister Jian or the Princess of Feng Empire was still within Tang Li Xue"s acceptable range. But if she attracted the hatred and jealously from the higher-ups of Myriad Foxes Academy… her peaceful days in Myriad Foxes Academy would probably come to an end!
Actually, Tang Li Xue was very nervous and afraid when she attracted hatred and jealousy from Zi Yan of the Inscriptionist a.s.sociation before. Thankfully, Teacher Li Wei and Instructor Mei Lan protected her from Zi Yan, so there was nothing happened to her until now.
"But I still need to remain vigilant of that Zi Yan. No one can tell if she really already forgot about me right now or she was just bidding her time to find the right timing when I lowered my guards down to strike me down. " Tang Li Xue warned herself in her mind.
While Tang Li Xue was still in deep thought, the effect of the transparent liquid that Tang Li Xue tried on Junior Sister Jian was finally started to work.
Junior Martial Sister Jian grimaced and started twisting around her body uncomfortably.
"What is wrong with my body? Why do I feel like this…?!" Junior Martial Sister Jian murmured with confusion as her body felt very hot, and her face turned red like a prawn.
However, she immediately realized that the symptom she felt right now was identical to the effect of her own poison she used on Tang Li Xue before.
"This is impossible?! Did I accidentally hurt myself with that needle before?!" Junior Martial Sister Jian widened her eyes and dropped her jaw in disbelief as she thought about that.
Tang Li Xue noticed Junior Sister Jian"s abnormality from her strange body"s movement in an instant with her [Extrasensory Perception] and sighed in relief: "Oh? Did that liquid finally show its effect? Fortunately, the effect is finally working right now… If not, I probably must leave this group first before they meet with Elder Yang and my perfect copy."
"Let"s see it~! I hope that liquid is not lethal or this matter would become quite troublesome." Tang Li Xue thought again while looking at Junior Sister Jian with curiosity.
After a few moments, Junior Martial Sister Jian finally could not hold on to the effect of the poison anymore and screaming in a shrill tragic voice: "AAAAAAHHHHHH~!!!"
Junior Martial Sister Jian suddenly fell onto the ground and rolling around while kept scratching all over her body with her fingers.
Junior Sister Jian was scratching her body very hard until the clothes she wore tore along with her reddened skin.
She scratched the skin on her body until it was bleeding, and her blood seeped onto her torn clothes.
Ye Zhen, Crown Prince Feng, and the other core disciples who still chatted with each other were taken aback by Junior Sister Jian"s sudden strange behavior that they could not react on time to stop her.
No one of them did not know what exactly happened to Junior Sister Jian, so no one dared to make any carelessly move to help her, especially since they looked at Junior Sister Jian"s reddened skin and her strange conduct right now.
Ye Zhen was the first one who decided to make a move to help Junior Sister Jian by holding both of her hands tightly to stop her from scratching her own body until her skin was torn and bleeding.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~! Boring~! So, it is only itchy poison?! I had already suffered the worst itchiness every time I previously evolved. Itchiness at this level means nothing compared to what I already felt before." Tang Li Xue thought lightly as she watched Junior Sister Jian"s performance from behind the other core disciples.
Just when Tang Li Xue thought so, Junior Sister Jian"s behavior became even stranger when Ye Zhen held both of her hands so tightly to stop her from scratching herself.
"Aaaahhnnnn~!!!" Junior Sister Jian suddenly moaned loudly in a seductive way.
Her strange reaction made Ye Zhen frowned in annoyance, and he raised his guard even more against Junior Sister Jian.
"Senior Martial Bother Ye~, my body is so hot~! Please help me~! Hold me tighter~! You are so handsome... I… I want you…" Junior Sister Jian said in a slurred tone as if she was drunk before she jumped forward and pounced toward Ye Zhen as if she wanted to forcefully kiss Ye Zhen"s lips.
Ye Zhen was too shocked by Junior Sister Jian"s sudden move, but he already raised his guard to the maximum before, so when Junior Sister Jian suddenly pounced to him, he reflexively raised his right feet and kicked her away.
PPPOOOWWW~!!!
Ye Zhen even forgot to hold back most of his strength, so his kick was quite powerful, and he managed to send Junior Sister Jian to fly several meters away from him.
After flying backward several meters away, Junior Sister Jian groaned in pain, and she started rolling around on the ground again while kept scratching her body again and again with most of her strength.
Almost all of her clothes she wore were torn because she scratched her own body too hard, and she almost completely naked right now.
But no one had the heart to see her almost naked body since Junior Sister Jian"s body was already filled with ghastly bleeding scratches now.
Everyone here felt very sorry for Junior Sister Jian, but they did not know what to do to help her out. Except for Tang Li Xue, of course, since she would be the one who was in Junior Sister Jian"s place right now if she was a normal powerless girl, just like in her previous life.
For the first time, Tang Li Xue felt the pleasure and delight of being the strong and powerful one.
"So this is what the main characters in all the novels feel when they counterattacked the schemes from the villains or bullies. Not bad... Oh no, this is quite bad... Since I might get addicted to this feeling~! Hehehehe..." Tang Li Xue thought as she held down her laughter while watching Junior Sister Jian made a fool of herself.
"But the Nascent Soul Stage elder of Immortal Sword Sect that guarding Crown Prince Feng is really cold. It seems he did not even have any plan or intention to help that Jian Girl at all!" Tang Li Xue concluded.
But that was all made sense since the elder"s mission was to secretly guard Crown Prince Feng and to catch the culprit of serial murders if she appeared later.
So, that Nascent Soul Stage elder did not really care about how these core disciples playing around with each other since it was not his mission to babysitting these core disciples anyway.
And also, the mission of these core disciples was actually to help all of the elders of the Immortal Sword Sect here, not the other way around.
Junior Martial Sister Jian still felt unbelievable itchiness all over her body, but Ye Zhen"s merciless kick made her feel unbearable pain on her abdomen until her mind sobered.
Junior Martial Sister Jian glared at Tang Li Xue with a pair of bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent and screamed with a shrill voice: "You… This must be your doing! B*tch, vixen, sl*t, how dare you did this to me?!"
Ye Zhen and the others were taken aback by the statement from Junior Martial Sister Jian and glanced suspiciously at Tang Li Xue, but they still mostly did not believe Sister Jian"s accusation to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue still put an oblivious expression and innocently said: "Eh? What? What are you talking about? I do not even understand it at all."
"B*tch, you still dare to deny it! I… I will kill you right now!" Junior Sister Jian gnashed her teeth in intense anger and sprinted toward Tang Li Xue with an aura filled with dense killing intent.
Ye Zhen swiftly s.h.i.+fted his body and stood in front of Tang Li Xue to protect her from the insane-looking Junior Sister Jian.
"Stop it! Junior Martial Sister Jian, that is enough! Rather than attacking random people to vent your anger and discomfort, you should cover your body first and check your condition to the imperial physician as soon as possible." Ye Zhen rebuked Junior Sister Jian with a stern tone.
"Senior Martial Brother Ye… you… you still dare to stand up for an outsider like her! Do you even have a heart?! Look at me! I am like this because of her, and you still try to protect her! Senior Martial Brother Ye, I am really disappointed in you!" Junior Martial Sister Jian said to Ye Zhen with teary eyes and sobbing loudly.
"I… I do not mean to…" Ye Zhen started to hesitate.
"Young Master Ye, you can stand aside for now. I believe Sister Jian only has a misunderstanding with me. Everything should be all right after I explained it clearly to her." Tang Li Xue said to Ye Zhen while smiled gently at him.
Junior Martial Sister Jian sneered maliciously when she heard Tang Li Xue"s words.
But Tang Li Xue laughed out loud at this Junior Sister Jian"s stupidity in her heart and thought: "Fool! Do you really think that your Brother Ye is trying to protect me from you by standing between us?! What a naive and stupid girl~! That Brother Ye is actually trying to stop you from getting beaten by me!"
Ye Zhen already saw Tang Li Xue"s true battle prowess when they fought together in Quanhai City before, so he actually wanted to stop Junior Sister Jian from fighting against Tang Li Xue by rebuked her and gave his advice to her.
Junior Sister Jian was still his Junior Martial Sister after all, so Ye Zhen did not want her to get beaten by Tang Li Xue after she was suffering until she looked like a pitiful beggar.
Unfortunately, she did not appreciate Ye Zhen"s good intentions at all and even accused him of defending an outsider like Tang Li Xue.
