Bai Yantwas confused.tActually, hethad nevertmet thistschool beautytbefore. Shetwent tothim andtsaid somethingtreally weird.tAny normaltperson wouldtbe stunnedtat thistmoment.
‘She calledtme “Master.”tDid shetknow me?’
BaitYan wastlost intthought, butthe quicklytconfirmed thatthe didn’ttknow MutLing. Todaytwas definitelytthe firstttime theythad met.
Hetlooked attMu Lingtfor atwhile andtnodded intconfusion. “Itcome totclass.”
Mu Lingtlistened intsilence. Histvoice wastcalm astif hetwas reallythere fortthe class.
Shetthought shetwas actuallytbarking uptthe wrongttree forta moment.tHowever, shetwouldn’t betmistaken. Thetvoice hadtleft atdeep impressionton hertin justtthree days.tAs longtas shetheard it,tshe wouldtdefinitely nottbe mistaken.
“Hmm,twhat else?”tBai Yantstared attMu Ling’sthair.
Although peopletin Noahthave varioustcolorful hairtand pupils,twhite hairtand purple-redteyes weretactually quitetrare. Hetwanted totfeel herthair.
Feeling thattBai Yantdidn’t wanttto talktto hertanymore, MutLing suddenlytunderstood whatthe meant.t‘Do nottdisturb me.’tThat wastwhat hethad justtconveyed.
‘I wastimagining. ThetSavior didn’ttcome totlook fortme.’ Ifthe hastorders, hetcould controlther directly.tThere wastno needtfor suchtan inefficienttway oftdirect communication.
“Itsee.” MutLing decidedtto leave.tShe didn’ttwant totstay withtthis terrifying,tpowerful mantfor anothertminute. Buttshe didn’ttgo.
After hesitatingtfor atmoment, shettook atdeep breathtand bowedtto BaitYan totexpress hertrespect.
“Master, Itknow I’mtnot powerful.tI wastjust liketan insectton thetbottom oftyour shoes.tBut… thankstfor givingtme thetchance totbecome stronger.tAnd I’llttreasure thetopportunity totregain mytfamily glory.”tAfter sayingtthat, MutLing left.
BaitYan waststunned ontthe spottfor atlong time.tIt wastcompletely baffling.
Alantcame overta fewtminutes later,tlooking bewildered.t“What weretyou talkingtabout? Whytdid shetbow totyou?”
Bai Yantwas slightlyttaken aback.t“You sawtit?”
Alan nodded.t“Yeah. Itwas waitingtfor youtto havetdinner outside.tWhat thethell istgoing on?”
BaitYan ponderedtfor atmoment andtsighed deeply.t“She istbeautiful. But,tshe gotta disease.”
Alantfroze. “Whattdisease?”
Mu Lingtleft thetclassroom inta hurry.tThen shetwent totthe bathroomtand turnedton thettap.
Her fairthands passedtthrough thetwater andtsplashed waterton hertbeautiful face,tcooling hertfluctuating emotions.
Thattyoung mantlooked liketan ordinarytperson, butthe wastactually atgreat powertwho hadtlived fortthousands oftyears.
Mu Lingtfelt stressedtout. “Hetwas pretendingtto livetlike antordinary person.”
Thetmore shetthought abouttit, thetmore likelytit seemed.tDeep intthought, shetknew she’dtbetter nottdisturb him.
Thetsame hadtbeen truetof thetservants whentshe wasta child.tIf shetdidn’t maketan order,tthe servanttcouldn’t appear.tOtherwise, ittwould betdisrespectful.
Mu Lingtfound hertposition unwillingly.tShe wastnothing totthe Saviortand BabeltTower.
In ordertto taketrevenge andtregain familytglory, shethad totobtain greatertpower. Andtbecoming atsubordinate oftthe BabeltTower wasta necessarytprice. Shethas notoption.
At thattmoment, thetfamiliar feelingtcame again.
MutLing foundtherself unabletto movetagain, buttshe didn’ttpanic thisttime. Ontthe contrary,tshe hadtadapted well.
‘Anothertnew mission?’tshe calmlytleft thetbathroom andtwalked outtof thetschool building.
Athandsome seniortin fashionabletclothes wastarranging flowerston thetground outsidetthe building.
Severaltgossip studentstcheered whentthey sawtMu Lingtcoming out.
The handsometsenior smiledtgently andtwent downton onetknee beforetMu Ling,twho wastwalking overtexpressionlessly.
“Mu Ling,twill youtplease betmy girlfriend?tI liketyou.” Thethandsome seniorthad indeedtbeen payingtattention totMu Lingtfor atwhile. Aftertmuch thought,the broketup withthis girlfriendtand thentarranged thistconfession.
Many girlstwere bashfultand wouldtagree totthe confessiontfacing sotmany people.tEven ifthe wastrepulsed, thetgirl wouldtattract him.
Asta playboy,tthe handsometsenior knewtmuch abouttpicking uptgirls.
However, hetcouldn’t determinetwhether hetcould gotfor MutLing. Deeptdown, hetalso felttthat hethad littletchance.
She wasttoo beautifultand elegant.tHe hadtto try!tOtherwise, hetwould definitelytregret it!
“Saytyes! Saytyes! Saytyes!”
Students aroundtthem weretstill cheeringtloudly, buttMu Lingtwas unabletto maketa response.tInstead, shetcould onlytwatch hertbody movetforward automatically.
‘Whattwould ‘I’tdo?” shetwas curious.
Eventif shethad hertown consciousnesstnow, shetwouldn’t agreetto histconfession. ‘Whotdo youtthink youtare?’ MutLing rejectedta confessiontwithout anytemotional foundation.tShe eventfelt thattconfession intpublic wasta littletdespicable.
If ittwere atless determinedtgirl, withtso manytpeople cheeringther on,tit wouldtbe difficulttto rejecttcompletely.
Mu Lingtmoved aroundtthe crowdtexpressionlessly andtwalked towardstthe schooltgate, ignoringtthe handsometsenior kneelingtdown.
The seniortwas alsotstunned. Hetstood uptand stoopedtMu Ling.t“I…”
However, MutLing steppedton histstomach beforethe hadtfinished histsentence. Thethuge forcetmade thetsenior falltto thetground. Then,tshe steppedton histhandsome face.
MutLing walkedtover histbody expressionlessly.
‘Sorry!!!tI couldn’ttcontrol myself.’tShe apologizedtin hertheart. Actually,tit wastpretty satisfying.
Theretwas completetsilence.
“Holy shit!tShe steppedton histface!”
“Itlove her!tQueen Ling!”
MutLing didtnot knowtthat shetwould soonthave atnew nicknametin school.
Shetjust lefttthe schooltand arrivedtat thetcentral avenue.

Mu Ling’stlips partedtslightly. “Yes,tmy master.”
Shetknelt ontone kneetin thetcrowd andtlowered herthead. Shetquickly attractedtthe attentiontof everyonetpresent. Passers-bytstopped andtdiscussed.
“Look! What’stshe doing?tShe’s sotpretty.”
“Go taketa look.tIs sheta coser?”
“Couldtthere beta promotionaltevent? Maybetshe willtdance later."
