Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After taking in the ghost servant, Chi Shuyan was much more relaxed. The house was so big but she didn’t even need to sweep for it to be spotless. Above all, a ghost servant’s labor was free of charge. It was cheaper and worry-free compared to hiring a housekeeper outside.
Chi Shuyan also went on a trip to an herbal medicine shop, and ran to several of them. With the living expenses her father gave her, she bought more than a dozen herbs and spent 60,000 yuan directly. In the end, only 5,000 yuan was left on her bank card. She just stopped before she bought everything, because if she kept on buying, she’d end up drinking the northwest wind.
Chi Shuyan nestled in the bathtub of the bathroom, comfortably soaking in the mixture of herbs. Feeling the constant rising of spirit qi in her body and the recovery of some of her skills, she was glad that she had gotten her money’s worth to some extent.
Although her young body still possessed a few remnants of skills from her previous life, which might have been good enough for ordinary Celestial Masters and Warlocks, she was still too weak compared to her former self. Restraining several little demons might have been effortless, but she would be in a tough spot if she ran into hard stubble. Some things needed to be prepared for a rainy day and the lessons of her previous lifetime of blood had left her with a deep sense of crisis.
For the better part of the month, Chi Shuyan either spent the whole day ensconced in her room drawing charms or soaking in herbs until a class teacher from school called and scolded her, saying that she wasn’t sick and merely pretending to be sick, and wasn’t thinking about her future. She also said that some of her classmates saw her hanging out. She was extremely harsh and warned her that she didn’t need to think about returning to school if she continued to be absent.
Chi Shuyan frowned as she listened to the harsh female voice lecturing her on the phone, but didn’t say anything. She had also planned on going back to school these days, but didn’t expect that some were more eager than her and didn’t want her to be better off.
The next day, Chi Shuyan put on her school uniform, carried her school bag, and rushed to school. After she’d gone up the stairs and was about to turn around the corner into the hallway, a male student recognized her, and ecstatically turned around and ran away. Chi Shuyan raised an eyebrow. She didn’t believe that student was scared of her.
The male student immediately ran to the first class of senior high as soon as he saw Chi Shuyan arrive and immediately notified the people in the class in excitement: “Here she comes, here she comes, guys get ready!” A large wave of students writing their homework heard him and craned their necks in excitement to watch the good show.
Chi Shuyan quickly passed through the corridor and arrived at the entrance of the first class of senior high. Looking at the partly opened room door, she sneered coldly. She also didn’t enter the door and leaned on the wall beside it with her arms around her chest.
With the sound of the class bell, the English teacher hurried from his office with his teaching materials, and when she saw Chi Shuyan, who was standing in the doorway of the first class, he frowned, “Chi Shuyan, why are you still hanging outside the classroom?”
Chi Shuyan was bored to death and had just put two eye drops in her eyes, which were very irritating. At first glance, it looked like she was crying. The figure was quite blurry, so she quickly rubbed her eyes and clearly saw the English teacher in front of her.
The English teacher had long heard that the relatively quiet girl in the senior class, Chi Shuyan, had always been bullied by her classmates, but many teachers couldn’t do anything about these naughty classmates. They could only reprimand them with a word or two at best. He also used to think that the less trouble, the better, so he turned a blind eye to it. After all, the students at present were hard to manage. Hitting or touching them would result in their parents coming into school, looking for trouble. Even corporal punishment posted on the Internet would get a lot of flak from the netizens. It was just that she was now being bullied in his class, which was clearly defying his authority.
The English teacher was instantly furious and pushed open the door. He was about to lose his temper, but didn’t expect to wham a huge basin of water on top of the door. Water poured down and splashed him full in the face. The English teacher who was wearing a suit immediately looked like a drenched chicken.
The senior students of the first class didn’t see the victim of the downpour and loudly tapped their tables. Several female students, who were the initiators, doubled up and convulsed in laughter while the other male students clapped and cheered.
When they calmed down and were about to mock and taunt, they saw the clean and tidy Chi Shuyan pushing the door open and coming in. One by one, their eyes widened as they all looked at the person, who was drenched like a chicken and the few female students, who started it all, turned white. The laughter of the rest of the roaring students came to a screeching halt.
“Laugh, laugh, you are all capable, how dare you mess with the teacher? Who the hell is it? Stand up!” The extremely proud English teacher almost lost his mind from anger. This group of students was really getting lawless.
The few instigators all trembled, but didn’t dare to stand out. They lowered their heads and paled, scared to the point of passing out. This English teacher was the male version of Mrs. Exterminator and was infamous for his strictness in the classroom. But wasn’t this supposed to be the Chinese class?
“Teacher, there are cameras in the classroom. If they don’t come forward, you can pull out the surveillance.” Chi Shuyan advised the English teacher indifferently: “Teacher, fortunately, you were the one who came to class. It would have been terrible if it was the Chinese teacher. The Chinese teacher is weak and pregnant. This would have been plain murder.”
The English teacher blanched the moment he heard Chi Shuyan. The Chinese teacher was his wife. She felt uncomfortable teaching this period, so he came to substitute and didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. If it was really his wife who came to class with her big belly, the consequences would be unthinkable…
“You, you’re talking nonsense. We didn’t intend to murder Teacher Yu, we clearly intended to spite her!” Xiao Lerong suddenly stood up abruptly and shouted, glaring viciously at Chi Shuyan.
“Xiao Lerong, don’t talk nonsense. We weren’t trying to spite anyone, Teacher Yang. We were just kidding around with classmate Chi and didn’t want to deal with Teacher Yu.” Those few students were so scared of being charged with such a crime that they hastened to their feet to explain.
“Shuyan, don’t get us wrong. We-we were purely joking with you. Don’t take it to heart. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen you and just momentarily thought of this special way to welcome you. We were really just too lacking in consideration.” Wu Wenyun knew that Chi Shuyan was a softy, so she apologized with a smiling face and said, “Shuyan, will you forgive us?”
“Kidding?” Chi Shuyan revealed a bright smile.
“Right, right.” Wu Wenyun thought that Chi Shuyan was soft-hearted and was going to forgive them. The other female instigators also nodded their heads and smiled. The English teacher thought Chi Shuyan would forgive them so easily and somewhat hated iron for not being steel.
Just when the other students, who were watching the show, thought that Chi Shuyan would be a steamed stuffed?bun1?and forgive this group of female classmates by virtue of requiting evil with good.
Chi Shuyan had long since aimed at the dirty water that was placed on the teacher’s desk to clean the glass. She went to carry it with both hands and directly splashed the basin of water towards Wu Wenyun.
“Chi Shuyan, you b*tch, I’m going to kill you!” The extremely embarrassed Xiao Lerong roared sharply.
