Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Lily Promoting to Evil Star? The Grumpy Little Kitty

"Whoa!"

When she saw Yun Zhenyue take out a tri-fold phone, Loo Huan immediately scooted closer, her eyes wide with envy and curiosity.

"Is-is-is... is that the latest model?"

"It actually has three screens!"

"It’s so big! Gaming on it must be awesome."

Hearing Loo Huan’s chirping, Yun Zhenyue placed a finger to her lips and whispered, "Shhh~"

On the other end of the line, Gu Yuan was talking about something serious.

Loo Huan pouted, looking utterly aggrieved.

Like a slighted newlywed, she sat back down.

"Okay, honey, I understand."

Three minutes later.

Yun Zhenyue finally hung up the phone, nodding as she did.

Gu Yuan had called about one thing.

He said that Lily had been a bit irritable lately, as if she was about to advance into an Evil Star. She wasn’t eating her cat food and just paced around the neighborhood all day.

Especially when she saw a child being bullied, she would immediately go all out and kill a lot of ghosts.

He was asking if she had any way to calm Lily’s mood. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Yun Zhenyue told Gu Yuan to take Lily out to play or to buy her some cat treats.

With Gu Yuan watching over her, Lily should be fine.

"What’s wrong?"

After Yun Zhenyue put down her phone and saw Loo Huan’s aggrieved expression, she asked softly.

"Hmph! Miss Yun, you’ve forgotten your old love for a new one!"

Loo Huan said with her hands on her hips.

Yun Zhenyue: "..."

’No matter how you look at it, my husband Gu Yuan is the old love here!’

She just stared intently at Loo Huan until the latter’s scalp tingled, at which point Loo Huan dropped her dramatic act and returned to normal.

Loo Huan lost her energy then, muttering curiously, "That’s strange. Your husband’s voice..."

"It sounds a little familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before. Ugh... am I getting old? I just can’t seem to remember."

"Really?"

Yun Zhenyue was skeptical.

’Gu Yuan stays at home all day. Where could Loo Huan have possibly heard his voice?’

’Unless it was when Mr. Luo presented Gu Yuan with a medal. He had come to Chilling Middle School then.’

’But with Gu Yuan’s lazy personality, he would have at most taken a quick look around and left. Loo Huan wouldn’t have been in a position to hear him talking to Mr. Luo, right?’

"It’s true, I’m not lying to you!" Loo Huan insisted.

"Alright, I believe you..."

Yun Zhenyue said with a resigned nod.

"Hmph, you obviously don’t believe me! As punishment, I’m going to eat all your little buns!"

Loo Huan’s almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she started to mess around.

The surrounding ghosts looked on, extremely envious.

They also wanted to be on good terms with Yun Zhenyue!

But right now, the only one who was so close to Yun Zhenyue and didn’t care about her status was Loo Huan.

...

「The next day, in the afternoon.」

Yun Zhenyue had already gotten used to life at Chilling Middle School.

The school had a cafeteria, so she didn’t even have to buy her own meals. The students of Class 2 were already fighting over who got to buy her a pile of tasty food.

The school also had dorms, with four people to a room.

Yun Zhenyue and Loo Huan happened to be bunkmates.

At night, she would listen to Loo Huan’s chattering stories. The other two roommates were quiet and didn’t speak, but they had previously helped Yun Zhenyue by buying her a toothbrush, towel, and other things. She didn’t have to worry about any danger at all and would fall asleep in no time.

I have to say...

This degenerate lifestyle of being completely cared for really made Yun Zhenyue feel like she was back in high school.

Of course, she wouldn’t just take things for free.

She tried to give them ghost coins, but none of the students would take them.

Yun Zhenyue changed her approach. Possessing a Master-level Medical Skill, she started offering to check on her classmates’ health after class as a form of payment.

Some students brought tools and some medicine from the infirmary.

Whenever she was treating someone, Loo Huan would act as her assistant, peeking here and there.

In just one day, she had already examined almost everyone in Class 2.

They didn’t really have any major problems.

At most, some had cavities or spinal abnormalities...

This was much easier to heal than the ghosts in other dungeons, who were full of hidden ailments.

At this moment, Yun Zhenyue had just finished giving a female classmate a massage, and sweat was trickling down her forehead.

Seeing this, the female ghost was endlessly grateful. "Thank you, Yun... you’ve helped us so much, and you even care about our health and treat our illnesses..."

"You’re welcome."

Yun Zhenyue smiled gently, a hint of pride in her eyes.

’I never thought the massage skill I learned specifically for Gu Yuan would come in handy like this!’

Before she could even rest for a moment, the female class monitor walked to the podium and announced, "Next period is P.E.... The P.E. teacher wants us to go get the equipment."

Yun Zhenyue was about to get up, but the class monitor saw her and quickly said, "You don’t have to go. We’ll get it."

"Is that okay?"

Yun Zhenyue felt a little embarrassed.

But after studying diligently in class and helping treat patients after class, she had been running around nonstop all day and was indeed a bit tired. Her body felt sore and weak now.

"Of course!"

After speaking, the female class monitor called over many of the Class 2 ghosts and they headed out.

Loo Huan handed Yun Zhenyue a bottle of water and said with a grin, "Actually, for getting the equipment, we usually take turns. It just so happened to be your turn this time."

"But you shouldn’t go, Miss Yun. The equipment room is dangerous."

"New transfer students have died in there before."

’It’s dangerous?’

Yun Zhenyue was surprised.

It seemed her kindness had allowed her to unknowingly avert crises multiple times.

Not thinking too much about it, she saw that most of the Class 2 students had gone downstairs.

The two of them followed, heading toward the athletic field.

When Yun Zhenyue saw several Class 2 students at the entrance to the equipment room, a thread of worry appeared in her heart.

’Since it’s dangerous, I should probably go take a look.’

...

Since this P.E. class was a joint session for Class 1 and Class 2, they also needed to get equipment.

The ghosts from Class 1, however, weren’t so polite.

The male class monitor asked several times, but not a single ghost was willing to volunteer. He was basically being ignored; his status as class monitor seemed like a sham.

If he said too much, some of the resentful ghosts would even talk back.

This filled the male class monitor’s heart with grievance.

When he looked at Megan and the other girls, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

’If I can’t order the ghosts around, can’t I at least order a few little rats?’

"You, the ones in the back, go get the equipment now! All of you!"

"The P.E. teacher said we’re playing badminton next. Go get 30 rackets and shuttlecocks."

Hearing this, the girls were extremely frustrated.

’It’s discriminatory treatment again!’

’They never get any of the good stuff, but they have to do all the dirty, tiring work!’

’We’re not here to study, we’re here to be treated like cattle!’

But forced by the circumstances, they could only grit their teeth and agree.

...

The school’s athletic equipment room.

A dim red mist seeped in through the window, spreading wantonly across the dusty floor. Piles of rackets were stacked high, and shuttlecocks swayed gently in the draft, making soft, rustling sounds.

THUMP~

A soccer ball slowly rolled into a corner, as if someone had accidentally kicked it.

In the dark shadows, a humanoid silhouette slowly wove itself into existence.

It had no physical form, seeming to be coalesced from pure resentment. A malevolent aura emanated from its scarlet eyes, and it clutched a knife that glinted with a cold light.

At that moment, the Shadow Ghost crouched behind the window, carefully peering out at the athletic field.

When it saw Yun Zhenyue, a trace of excitement sparked in its heart.

’It’s been a long time since Chilling Middle School had any fresh rats.’

’I’ve observed this person. She’s a new transfer student. She will definitely enter the equipment room alone later.’

’My knife hasn’t tasted blood in a long time.’
