Chapter 8: The Spirit of Human Resistance
Ever since becoming the lowest-scoring student in the school, there is nothing that can bring me down, because the thickness of my face is beyond the imagination of gods and demons!
I pointed to the photo, “This is fake.”
Someone wanted to speak, but the cold aura emanating from Mr. Yang behind me silenced those students who wanted to interrupt. Only I continued speaking.
I now have the feeling of being a lawyer. Watching so many lawyer TV shows finally pays off!
I put on a lawyer-like appearance and raised my hand, “I can prove that this photo is fake for the following reasons. First!” I raised one finger, “Fu Su likes pranks, and there have been many precedents in the Immortal Realm. Second!” I raised two fingers, you bunch of idiots!
“The second point is also the most important one. Fu Su has a severe cleanliness obsession. How can someone who wipes their hands with disinfectant wipes even after shaking hands accept something as dirty as exchanging saliva through a kiss! You see, our human saliva contains more than 600 types of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and even indigenous microbial communities that reside in the oral cavity, teeth, and mucous membranes…” Thanks to my dentist, he can’t stand dental plaque the most. “Not to mention the food residues that remain in the gaps between our teeth after eating. These residues, under the action of saliva, form dental plaque, or what we humans commonly call ‘tooth poop’…”
“Uh~~~~~”
“That’s disgusting…”
“Why did she have to say it out loud…”
Disgusted remarks echoed softly in the silent classroom. I could see my classmates’ twisted expressions, some laughing and giving me thumbs up.
With my hands behind my back, I smiled and said, “So, I believe that someone with a strong cleanliness obsession would not casually kiss someone. You have all been fooled by Fu Su. He used this photo to trick all of you and then enjoyed watching your comments as he made headlines. As for how this photo was taken, I would like to ask my roommate, Si Yino, to help me out.” I pointed towards Si Yino, who was sitting far back in the last row. Si Yino immediately stood up, while Mao Mao covered her mouth and laughed. Qing Ming lightly tapped Si Yino and started patting his forehead as Jiang Yan continued to drink blood from a blood bag. Mo Ming still sat straight, earnestly watching me, while Hei mei raised her index finger and swayed it like a dance.
In the blink of an eye, Si Yino appeared by my side like my assistant, standing tall and holding Xiao Bai as he performed a 360-degree bow to everyone.
“Si Yino, please stand properly now.”
“Yes.” Si Yino stood proudly with his head held high. I reached out and cupped his face in my hands. Si Yino’s face, just like Xiao Bai’s, was always cool.
Looking at the classmates in front of me, I adopted a speech-like demeanor. I may not have Mr. Yang’s ability to grow three heads and six arms, so my classmates behind me began to gather in front of me. The seats flew up, just so they could get a closer look.
“To capture this photo, a technique called perspective shifting is required. Please pay close attention, everyone.” I leaned down towards Si Yino, stopping at the side of his face, then turned to look at everyone. “Did everyone see it clearly? You can also give it a try.”
I let go of Si Yino, and some of the classmates who were fully invested in the act actually turned to try and kiss the person next to them, only to be slapped away by the alert classmates.
I smiled and said, “The phones in the Immortal Realm have 3D camera functions. With Fu Su’s narcissistic personality, why didn’t he take this photo in 3D? The reason doesn’t need to be explained. Today’s class is about exploring human nature. I hope that everyone can avoid generalizations and view humanity with a more enlightened perspective. Thank you!” I bowed, and everyone froze, silently watching me.
“Well said, Xiao Lan!” Hei mei directly stood on her chair, chewing gum and clapping loudly. She, too, could be considered human.
“Clap clap clap clap!” She applauded me loudly, and in the next moment, Jiang Yan, Qing Ming, Mao Mao, and Mo Ming also stood up to applaud me. Soon after, scattered applause started to resonate among the other classmates.
Which species doesn’t have its pros and cons? Can a perfect pig be found in this world?
Even if this pig is perfectly proportioned and flawless, it still has various flaws in the eyes of different people.
Anyway, I’ve said it today. Whether they believe it or not is up to them, but at least, some people must believe it.
“Ding dong ding ding dong~~” The bell rang for the end of class, and everyone immediately returned to their seats. Mr. Yang stood coldly beside me and Xiao Nuo once again, and with a swift motion, he split…
He stood by my side with three heads and six arms, and I felt a cold sweat trickling down my back.
“Today’s lesson is about exploring the complexities of human nature. Each person in the human species is a unique existence, which is quite remarkable in the Six Realms. When you go home today, write an essay analyzing and understanding human nature. It’s due in seven days, and it will be important for you to handle missions in the human realm in the future! Class dismissed!” Mr. Yang finished speaking and disappeared from beside me, and I instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, my classmates in front of me started to make a fuss.
“Why did you have to say it out loud? Now our only source of enjoyment is gone.” A group of people left in frustration.
Then another group approached, but they were excited instead. “You said it so well! Finally, someone dared to stand up against Fu Su! You must continue to stand firm because you have become the spiritual idol for those of us who have been bullied by him!” They raised their fists towards me and left one by one.
Oh… I’ve actually become a spiritual leader! So, I can’t turn back on resisting Fu Su now. Otherwise, how many people would be disappointed and lose faith?
“Xiao Lan! Don’t be ungrateful!” A group of girls surrounded me. “Stop pretending! You secretly enjoy this, don’t you?”
Xiao Nuo, who hadn’t left yet, immediately stood in front of me, staring at them from beneath his long bangs with a sinister gaze. Xiao Bai transformed into a python and coiled around me, guarding me vigilantly.
“Let it go, don’t take them seriously.” Another girl said, rolling her eyes at me. “Humans have a saying called ‘lure the enemy into the open.’ She’s intentionally trying to catch Fu Su’s attention.”
“His Highness Fu Su will definitely not be fooled. He will surely make her suffer even more! Hmph, just you wait!” After uttering those harsh words, they left the classroom.
I stared at them stiffly. Women’s jealousy is truly terrifying, as it can blind their vision!
“They… are envious of you…” Xiao Nuo said with a gloomy face, keeping his gaze fixed on their retreating figures, a wicked smile playing on the corners of his mouth beneath his white, long bangs.
I chuckled and said, “Envious of me being bullied by Fu Su?”
“Mmm…” Xiao Nuo turned back, slightly raising his face to look at me. Xiao Bai returned to his side, and his eyes beneath the long bangs flickered with a sinister and eerie silver gleam. “They can’t even catch a glimpse of Fu Su’s face…”
“Well, then I don’t feel particularly proud of myself either.” I finished speaking and looked ahead, where everyone was already walking towards me.
“Sister Xiao Lan, Sister Xiao Lan! Fu Su just updated his Weibo!” Mao Mao rushed to me in a hurry and placed her phone in front of me. I took a look, oh my goodness! Fu Su really enjoys playing around.
I saw that Fu Su had also reposted the photo of him and Mo Ming, and he wrote, “I’ve always liked challenging things.”
“Fu Su doesn’t know that you already explained everything just now. He’ll definitely be furious when he finds out, haha.” Mao Mao laughed happily and started leaving a message on her phone.
Qing Ming gave me a thumbs up. “Well done!”
Jiang Yu smiled and patted my head, giving it a little rub.
Mo Ming walked behind him, typing on his phone. I suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly took a step forward, standing in front of Mo Ming. “What are you doing?”
Mo Ming immediately put away his phone, looking at me seriously. “Nothing.”
I squinted at him, certain that something was up!
His green eyes started to wander, and suddenly, he focused on something outside. “There’s danger!” he said, before swiftly disappearing with a “whoosh!”
Then I heard Mao Mao exclaim, “Ah! My brother posted too!” I immediately looked towards Mao Mao, and sure enough, everyone was crowding around her. Hei Mei was chewing gum and sticking her head out. “Shh~~ This is a formal declaration of war.”
War? I could smell the scent of Mo Ming’s short-circuiting brain!
I quickly picked up my phone and opened Mo Ming’s campus Weibo. His Weibo was very clean, with hardly any posts. It was clear that he didn’t use Weibo often, but his number of fans was astonishing!
Of course, he’s handsome~~~ Look at that face~~~~
And the first post was his recent one, with a timestamp. After reading it, my mouth twitched. Mo Ming sure knows how to stir up trouble!
I saw that he simply wrote: “Thank you for bullying my master. She has allowed me into her room now. @Fu Su.”
I felt like banging my head against the wall!
“Mo Ming~~~~~~” I shouted as I was about to rush out, but Mao Mao immediately held me back. “Xiao Lan, calm down, stay calm!”
How can I stay calm! What’s the difference between saying it directly and sleeping in the same room with me! Mo Ming, this short-circuiting wolf!!!
As we walked out of the classroom, the gazes of my classmates had already changed. Some people approached, like gossip reporters in the human world.
“Xia Xiao Lan, you explained the photo with Fu Su, but you didn’t explain the photo with Senior Mo Ming. So, are you dating Mo Ming now?”
“No,” I said with a grim face.
“Then how do you explain that photo?”
“I got sand in my eyes.”
Qing Ming and Xiao Nuo stood by my side, while Mao Mao and Jiang Yu cleared the way together. It was the first time Xia Xiao Lan felt like a celebrity, being surrounded like this.
Mo Ming just updated a Weibo post saying, “Thank you, Fu Su, for bullying you, so you let me into your room. Is this Mo Ming’s declaration of war against Fu Su?”
“Are you letting him protect you, or are you really dating?”
Mao Mao intervened, saying, “What’s so strange about the wolf clan and their master sleeping in the same room?”
“…” Mao Mao, is that really a good explanation?
Suddenly, I saw a white figure in the distance, and immediately ran towards him, shouting, “Teacher Yang! Teacher Yang!”
At that moment, everyone dispersed.
Ha! The Mr. Yang technique really works.
