Meanwhile, on the other side, the demonic serpent flicked its tongue from the shadows.
He had tested Qin Jing many times, but she was indeed the chosen one of the world, possessing unparalleled luck and unique qualities.
He was getting more and more excited. Whether as a demon or as a snake, he couldn't wait to see Qin Jing break down.
The seven deadly sins of mankind will eventually be revealed in him. At that moment, he will amplify those emotions infinitely and then enjoy watching humanity destroy itself as a result.
The demon serpent eagerly awaited that moment.
As Qin Jing walked toward the cooking classroom, she felt a chill down her spine. It wasn't just a cold sensation, but a feeling as if something dirty was staring at her.
Is this the malice of this world? Qin Jing exclaimed in bewilderment.
"Waaaaah! Help me, Xiaojing!"
A familiar, childlike voice came from behind.
"Youyou?" Qin Jing turned her head in confusion. As a snow elf who grew up with Su Jiu and Qiongqi, what monster in the academy would dare to provoke her?
"Help! Xiaojing!"
"Hahaha, grab her! Grab her!"
A little girl, as white as snow, was running around barefoot in a panic, while a group of girls with crimson skin were floating in the air, laughing and chasing after her.
The rosy-skinned girls were taller and more sophisticated than the little girl, and there were seven or eight of them together, staging a villainous drama of wolves chasing lambs.
Youyou flew into Qin Jing's arms, floated behind her, hugged Qin Jing's neck, and watched the fire sprites chasing after her warily.
"Xiaojing, they're the ones bullying me, please help me!" Youyou said fearfully.
"Stop! Firefly, what's going on with you guys?" Qin Jing stopped the fire sprite that was about to pounce on her and asked.
"Xiao Jing! You're human, you must have heard that water and fire are incompatible, right?" the fire spirits asked.
“Well, but Youyou is a snow fairy.” Qin Jing said, looking at the group of mischievous children.
"Of course, if it's a water sprite, then we'll run away."
"That's right, that's right, they're bullying her."
The fire spirits said it all as a matter of course.
"You guys..." Qin Jing reminded them, "Alice will be here soon."
This isn't a lie. Every day, Alice would finish her homework at the library and then meet up at the cooking class, so they would pass by here around the same time.
Alice!
"Oh no, she's definitely going to tattle on me to Teacher Bifang again!"
"Let's run!"
Upon hearing the name of the blonde young lady, the fire sprites panicked and flew away.
Only Teacher Bifang and Alice, who grew up with them, could control the unruly fire spirit. Qin Jing felt somewhat sorry for that great demon teacher.
"Xiaojing, these guys are so mean! They're clearly middle school students, yet they come to the elementary school district to ambush me every day," Youyou complained.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy you ice cream later." Qin Jing patted Youyou's head, comforting the girl.
"Really? Then I want Master Ha!" Youyou laughed as soon as she heard about the delicious food.
"Okay, it's blueberry flavored, right?" Qin Jing said with a smile, leading Youyou towards the cooking classroom.
Section 223, Chapter 39: On the Approach of the Tiger God Festival
With the arrival of the team from another school, Hourai Academy was already fully aware of the atmosphere of an upcoming grand event.
Monster clubs and clans aspiring to participate in this competition have begun training camps, led by their leaders.
Monsters roamed everywhere, from the sky and the sea to the stadium and even the training clothes.
Although the Tiger God Festival is still some time away, some competition between teams has already begun.
The track and field team's antelope sword and the basketball team's silverback gorillas sat facing each other in the cafeteria, their eyes locked.
The man with long, straight brown hair, Antelope Sword, extended his hand, and the silverback gorilla smiled, revealing its white teeth, and shook his hand.
A mutual aid alliance between clubs that are all in the sports department was officially established.
The senior lions, all the capable lion kings, gathered together and approached King Ryan, who was waiting for Lily of the Valley, to extend an invitation.
There was also a group of mischievous fire sprite children chasing the white-haired little girl around...
Ah... that doesn't count, this is just kids being naughty.
As Youyou was chased, she gained a lot of experience and skills in escaping. As a student here, she used her familiarity with the terrain to escape the fire spirits' pursuit time and time again.
If she got caught, she would be bullied severely. Having already learned her lesson, Youyou desperately tried to escape.
A thin layer of ice rose from the ground beneath her feet, and her bare feet glided across it as if she were ice skating, propelling her forward at a rapid pace.
The fire spirits floated in the air, chasing after them like burning arrows.
Until they arrived in front of the black-haired boy.
"Xiao Jing, save me!" Youyou ran behind Qin Jing.
"Well, that's enough for today, okay?" Qin Jing said with a smile to the fire sprite girls. Lately, he had become the final destination for their games.
"Tch... We'll definitely catch you next time!" The fire sprites scoffed and turned to leave.
"Rua~!" Youyou peeked out from behind Qin Jing, making faces and sticking out her tongue at them.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the artificial seawater lake, inside a castle surrounded by bubbles, Lan Huajiao, the teacher, sat to the side, listening to what the oldest contestant in the team, a strong woman with long, wavy blue hair, was saying.
The merfolk were also discussing their battle plan and precautions for participating in the White Tiger Festival.
"Shark! Stop being so lazy, tell me about the situation in Penglai too."
The blue-haired girl with a long three-strand braid drawled, "Ugh... this is so troublesome. I actually wanted to record Lord Momo and Lord Qin Jing's heroic figures. It would be nice to practice jujitsu with them, but fighting a group of strange monsters just doesn't feel exciting! My jujitsu is one-on-one."
"Hey, whale! Stop hiding in the corner reading and come here. You're a princess of our sea tribe, right? You and the shark know the strongest people at Penglai Academy best. Tell me what we need to be careful about."
"No... I already agreed..." The whale took two steps back, clutching the book, and whispered something with its head down.
"Huh? You're too quiet. If you have a problem, just say it clearly. You're really annoying mermaids. I'm not trying to force you or anything." The blue-haired, wavy-haired princess of the Lanhua royal family said angrily, adopting the air of an older sister.
"Sister, don't be angry! Whale-chan too, if there's a problem, just say it, we won't be angry." Blue Eel No. 106 stepped forward to persuade her.
“No…” The whale trembled slightly, just like a hamster, but here were her older brothers and sisters whom she was not good at dealing with, and she was so nervous that she could not speak properly.
“You… you’ve been like this since you were little. I really don’t understand what you’re thinking. But as a princess of the sea tribe, you must fulfill your duties.”
“I…have a partner!” the whale said.
"Huh? What kind of weirdo would take a liking to you?"
"Not surprising at all!" The whale angrily raised its head when it heard the other party speaking ill of its companion.
"Hmm?"
The whale shouted, "My companions are not surprising! What I'm saying is that I'm not joining the sea creatures' group this time! My companions are all good! I'm going to participate in the Tiger God Festival with them!"
Although her voice cracked slightly due to nervousness, the girl managed to express all her innermost thoughts.
"Whale! You bastard, you really do want to participate in the competition with Lady Qin Jing! I suspected from the beginning that you weren't just pretending to spy on the enemy." Shark looked at Whale jealously and shouted, revealing his serrated teeth.
"Ah! Is that another trick?" Whale exclaimed in surprise, as if she had missed a chance to make a contribution and increase her favorability.
"By the way, who is Qin Jing?"
"It's that human who was invited to enroll at Hourai Academy."
"Human! The whale wants to be with him?"
"Huh? Really?"
"Wow! That's an extremely rare human!"
The mermaid girls excitedly began discussing it. Mermaids are a species that is very interested in love, and their object of affection is none other than humans, a common element in fairy tales.
Surprisingly, none of the mermaids condemned the whale's declaration of withdrawal; instead, they looked at the whale with understanding.
"So that's the power of love, isn't it? That's why the whale, who's always kept quiet, dared to refute Sister Jiu Ba?"
"Yes, if someone you love is being spoken ill of, it wouldn't be surprising if you killed them."
"I'm so sorry for always thinking of you as a freak."
One by one, the mermaids came forward, grasped the whale's hand, and said very warmly.
"Everyone? No one objects?" Whale asked blankly, expecting to be scolded or even beaten.
"How could that be! Everyone supports you!" the mermaids said, deeply moved.
How could I possibly object! What does family honor matter to a mermaid when it comes to love!
The father, Haihuang, is an old stud with 108 children from a century-old breed. The mother is either a woman from the old society who was tricked into falling in love and was willing to follow the old stud, or she is a prop in a political marriage. What is there to care about?
If you and your boyfriend's mother both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first? That's a question the mermaid wouldn't ask.
If such a thing really happened, I would swim over to save my mother immediately. If she objected, I would drown on the spot.
How can you find true love without the conviction to die for the other person and the spirit to fight to the death?
"I never thought that even an inconspicuous whale would reach this day. I will support you, sister."
"Me too. If that human has any friends in the future, remember to introduce them to me."
"Although I have a fiancé I've never met, we don't get along and I'll be running away from the wedding soon, so I'm also planning to get another one."
"Hmph, looks like you're doing pretty well. Fine then. We'll crush you all in an instant at the Tiger God Festival! Go back and tell your companions to get cleaned up and wait for us! Heh heh heh..." the leading woman said with a sinister grin.
"Ah... Sister Jiu Ba's jealousy about still being single is completely exposed," the mermaid complained.
"..." Lan Huashan seemed to be deep in thought, as if considering some profound question.
"Alright, sisters, let's let Whale go back then." Shark said, pushing Whale out of the room.
"Whale, I also want to join Lady Qin Jing's team, is that okay? I'll work hard to gather intelligence here, and my skills are pretty good too." Shark whispered to Whale as he closed the door behind him.
"No! This is a club activity, we don't need any outside monsters." Whale resolutely refused, resisting any presence that might threaten their relationship from appearing around Shizuka.
Section 224, Chapter 40: Registration for the Tiger God Festival Opens
Qin Jing and Seba were walking down the road when they were surrounded by a group of towering lion demons. Each of them possessed an imposing aura, and their mere presence exuded pressure. These lions were all top students in the academy, each with a large harem of followers. This was a grand gathering of the strongest lion demons in the entire academy, and even Wang Ryan was among them.
Sometimes, male lions will work together to fight and kill powerful enemies in order to survive, and now is the time for that.
"Is there something you need?" Seba asked as he came out.
“Seba Ryan, Lion of Britain, we invite you to join our lion clan’s strongest team to participate in the Tiger God Festival and win the championship,” the silver-haired lion demon leader said in a deep voice.
“No, I want to compete with everyone,” Seba said calmly.
"They refused? They refused so decisively?" the lion monsters behind them exclaimed in surprise.
"The silver-haired lion actually failed."
"..." The silver-haired lion demon felt embarrassed, but calmed down and continued, "Think about it again. As soon as you join, you will instantly become a hero of all the lions and be respected and worshipped by the demons."
Upon hearing this, Seba's hair stood on end, which meant that she could get her sisters' forgiveness!
But upon closer reflection, what she really wants is understanding; being respected by her older sisters doesn't really matter.
So Seba simply said, "I'm prepared to achieve it through my own efforts!"
"..." The silver-haired lion demon met with another setback.
The silver-haired lion demon, who had been invincible all along and whose every name was answered, encountered a setback for the first time. And that setback was in front of a younger female lion.
"What are you doing?" Qin Jing asked the familiar Lion King Ryan.
“Well, this is my senior from my hometown, I have to listen to him,” Wang Ryan said.
"You didn't join the race just for this human?" the silver-haired lion asked, pointing at Qin Jing.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Seba blinked, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Hahaha, I know humans! During the duel, I'll smash your bones to pieces, making you regret making such a brainless choice today, hahahaha."
The silver-haired lion laughed loudly and led the lion pack away.
