God of War: My Best School Girlfriend

"Ahem, Miss Lin, please come with me."

"This is the most ferocious horse in our stable. It was just brought over from abroad. It is tall, powerful, and wild. Several equestrians have tried to tame it, but it has thrown them off their backs. One person even had his leg trampled by the horse's hoof and suffered a broken leg bone."

The horse trainer suppressed a laugh and led Lin Manru to another stable area.

There, a tall and mighty black horse was tethered alone. It was over two meters tall, with a glossy black coat and bulging muscles. It kept shaking its head and puffing out white breaths from its nostrils, clearly dissatisfied with the restraints on its body.

"Danger??? Heh, is that so? The more dangerous the horse, the better!!!"

Looking at the restless, obviously violent black horse, Lin Manru smiled with satisfaction.

"You, then, take this horse to Chu Lingjun and let her ride it for her equestrian performance!"

Lin Man pointed at the horse trainer as if her scheme had succeeded.

The horse trainer's smile froze on his face.

"No, this still doesn't feel violent enough. I can't accept it unless I break a leg or an arm of Chu Lingjun."

Lin Manru, as if talking to herself, took out another vial of medicine from the bag.

"How about we give it another stimulant injection?"

"With this untamed wild horse, plus the effects of stimulants, it's almost impossible for Miss Chu Lingjun to escape death or serious injury!!!"

The image of Chu Lingjun's delicate body being trampled by the raging hooves sent a chill down Lin Manru's spine as she conjured a sinister smile.

"This...this won't do! Someone will die!!!"

The horse trainer finally understood Lin Manru's intention and was so frightened that he backed away and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Stop arguing! Since you've taken my money, do your job properly!!!"

"This is a stimulant for animals; give this dark horse a shot!"

"Disobeying my orders is tantamount to going against the entire Lin Group. Do you think our conglomerate is easy to mess with?"

"At this point, you have no choice!"

"Don't forget, you must personally lead this drugged horse to Chu Lingjun, or I won't let you off the hook."

Lin Manru snorted dismissively.

Under her coercion and enticement, the horse trainer's face turned pale and then red, and after a while, he finally took the vial of animal stimulant and injected it into the already extremely agitated black horse.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't care anymore... Whatever happens in the end is none of my business..."

The horse trainer's face was ashen, and his hand holding the syringe was trembling. Ever since he accepted Lin Manru's bribe, there had been no turning back.

After being injected with performance-enhancing drugs, the black horse seemed to sense something; its eyes turned bloodshot, it puffed out breaths, and let out a long neighing towards the sky…

…………

However, Chu Lingjun and Ye Xingke were completely unaware of what was happening at the horse farm, and were arriving unprepared with the education bureau leaders and reporters.

"Next, I will show you our academy's unique equestrian training. As we all know, equestrianism is a sport exclusive to the nobility, and it is difficult for ordinary people to access it."

"However, within our Leonardo da Vinci Academy of Art, there is a dedicated horse farm to raise horses, as well as professional equestrian trainers to instruct students. In the entire Dragon Kingdom, our school is the only one that does this."

Outside the horse farm, Principal Yang was proudly introducing the facilities to leaders from various education bureaus.

Chu Lingjun, however, had already changed out of her formal attire and into a set of equestrian clothing at some point. Her tight white trousers accentuated her long, perfect legs, while the blue short vest on her upper body made her look even more dashing and heroic.

"After this equestrian performance, we can clock out and leave work."

"After that, the task of flattering the leaders of the Education Bureau was handed over to Principal Yang. Rather than sucking up to the leaders, what's more important to me now is to find ways to increase my assets."

Chu Lingjun calmly removed the expensive hair clip from her head and gently handed it to Ye Xingke, who then tied her hair up tightly with a hair tie.

"Understood, Miss. After the performance, we can go home and have barbecue."

Ye Xingke took the hairpin and smiled slightly.

"Get lost, what barbecue? I don't have the mind to think about what to eat, I'm already worried sick about family affairs."

Chu Lingjun laughed and scolded, only when she was joking and scolding with Ye Xingke could she feel relaxed. Otherwise, the pressure from her family would have crushed her long ago.

"The road will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge; some things cannot be forced."

Ye Xingke suddenly sighed.

"We still need to try our best, otherwise who knows what the final outcome will be?"

Chu Lingjun said calmly, not knowing whether she was referring to the Chu family's affairs or her own personal matters.

"Okay, let's go."

After tidying herself up, Chu Lingjun walked lightly towards the horse farm, leaving behind a graceful silhouette.

"You want to fight for it... But you're already someone else's fiancée, how can I possibly fight for it..."

"Let's keep our distance..."

Ye Xingke pondered, his heart feeling as if it were heavily bound by an iron block.

"Next, our college's chairman will demonstrate some amazing equestrian skills. Please stay tuned."

Principal Yang said with a smile.

"Clap clap clap..."

This time, there was no need for a performance beforehand; the leaders from the Education Bureau had already spontaneously started applauding. They were deeply impressed by Chu Lingjun's performance and believed that the equestrian performance would not disappoint them either.

"Something terrible has happened, Chairman! Something terrible has happened!!!"

Just then, an anxious voice came from the horse farm.

"Your beloved horse has suddenly fallen ill and will probably be unable to perform today..."

The horse trainer, who had been bribed by Lin Manru earlier, ran up to Chu Lingjun, panting, and reported back.

"Sick??? How could that be??? Didn't I specifically tell you to take good care of the horses???"

Chu Lingjun frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"But...but this might be some kind of sudden illness..."

The horse trainer stammered, avoiding eye contact with Chu Lingjun.

"Take me to see it first."

Chu Lingjun said with dissatisfaction.

"Yes Yes……"

Upon arriving at the stable, Chu Lingjun looked at the golden pony, which was limp on the ground and unable to stand up, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

It seems impossible for her to perform equestrian skills today using the horse she always uses.

"Your responsibility can be investigated later. Right now, please prepare a usable horse for me. There are education bureau leaders and reporters waiting outside. We can't delay any longer."

Chu Lingjun didn't think much of it and quickly instructed the horse trainer to find another horse. She figured that with her superb horse-controlling skills, even if they changed horses, there shouldn't be any accidents.

"Yes Yes."

The horse trainer, sweating profusely, agreed, and everything was progressing in the direction Lin Manru had planned.

Stepping out of the stable and back onto the spacious riding arena, the horse trainer led a tall and mighty black horse to Chu Lingjun. However, it was very difficult to pull the reins, as the black horse kept turning its head, as if something was wrong.

"This is the one, Miss Chu. Take a look. This horse's pedigree is only slightly inferior to the previous one. It can be said to be the second most valuable horse in our stable."

After finally managing to bring the horse over, the horse trainer lowered his head and said guiltily.

"Hmm, the horse's coat is nice, but something seems off."

Looking at the restless black horse that kept twisting its body, Chu Lingjun frowned and said.

"But...maybe it's because you haven't ridden this horse before, and it seems a bit shy..."

The horse trainer made an excuse, saying that his clothes were soaked through.

"Then forget it, we'll take this horse. There's no time to spare, the leaders are all waiting outside."

Seeing that time was running out, Chu Lingjun had no other choice, so he led the black horse slowly to the center of the equestrian arena...

"Here she comes!!! She's finally going to ride it, now just watch how badly she falls!!!"

"Chu Lingjun, go to hell!!!"

On the other side of the horse farm, Lin Manru raised an eyebrow at the sight of this scene and began to get excited, her face full of barely suppressed excitement, as if she had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Oh dear, Miss Chu is in deep trouble now. This stimulant-fueled dark horse is a ticking time bomb; it could explode at any moment. Who could withstand being trampled by its hooves..."

The lackey muttered under his breath.

At this moment, Chu Lingjun was holding the reins, gently soothing the restless black horse.

But no matter how she tried to soothe it, the black horse always held its head high, hissing and puffing out white steam, which was completely different from the docile pony she usually rode...

"Something's wrong..."

Ye Xingke's eyes sharpened, as if he had sensed some kind of danger.

"What's wrong with this horse? It's so unruly. Is it an untrained horse?"

"No, a horse trainer wouldn't let me ride an untrained horse; that's common sense."

At this moment, Chu Lingjun did not realize that someone was trying to deliberately harm her; she simply thought that the horse was being a little aggressive because it was shy.

After calming him down for a while, Chu Lingjun took a deep breath, put his left foot on the stirrup, and sat down in one go.

This was a serious matter. Like a bomb being lit, the black horse suddenly let out a long neigh to the sky and began to thrash wildly, like a mad bull, trying to throw off its rider.

The black horse was already unhappy about being led around, but now that someone was sitting on it, its wild instincts were awakened and it suddenly erupted. With the added effect of stimulants, the black horse was like the most ferocious beast, running around wildly and jumping around madly, as if it had lost its mind.

"Director Chu!!!"

"What's going on? Why has this horse suddenly gone berserk???"

Principal Yang and the leaders watching nearby screamed at the same time. Anyone could see at a glance that this was definitely not a pre-arranged equestrian performance. If there was a slight mistake, the rider would definitely suffer serious injuries.

Chu Lingjun sat on the saddle of the black horse, like a leaf drifting in the wind, rising and falling, with the possibility of being thrown off the horse at any moment.

Her face was deathly pale as she gripped the reins tightly, using her superb riding skills to try and keep herself from falling off the horse. But it was only a matter of time before she fell. How long could a delicate girl last against a raging beast? No one dared to think about it. The scene was incredibly dangerous.

"Hahaha, that's it! Chu Lingjun, you'd better get off your horse and get trampled a few times!!!"

Lin Manru's eyes lit up, and she became increasingly excited, her face flushing red.

Anyone who has watched bull riding competitions knows that even professional riders cannot last long against a raging bull.

Although this dark horse isn't as big as a bull, it's not far off, not to mention it's been given performance-enhancing drugs, making it far more dangerous.

"What, what should we do? If she falls, Miss Chu will be seriously injured, if not killed!!!"

Principal Yang was extremely worried; he was completely at a loss for what to do.

Just then, a dark figure seized the opportunity and rushed forward.

"Who is it? Daring to charge at a rampaging horse, doesn't it have a death wish???"

Everyone was startled.

Needless to say, the one who rushed forward was Ye Xingke; his ominous premonition had come true.

He coldly watched the direction the horses were running and the amplitude of their leaps, then suddenly roared, "Charge the horses this way!!!"

Chu Lingjun, who was completely disoriented on horseback, heard this voice as if she had found a ray of light in the darkness. Without hesitation, she used all her strength to pull the reins and steer the horse toward Ye Xingke.

Enraged, the violent black horse charged straight at Ye Xingke, its iron hooves seemingly about to shatter the earth.

"He's gone mad! He's trying to get himself run over by a horse! That's a wild animal, not a human! Who can stop him?!"

As the black horse charged past like a heavy truck, everyone froze, some even covering their eyes, unable to bear watching the horrific scene that followed.

However, Ye Xingke was extremely calm at this moment. Facing the charging beast, he had no complicated thoughts in his mind and had reached a state of harmony with nature.

Just as the black horse charged towards him and was about to collide with him, Ye Xingke turned to the side and grabbed the horse's long mane tightly.

"Stop right there, you bastard!!!"

Ye Xingke roared, grabbed the black horse's mane, lowered his center of gravity, and exerted a sudden burst of strength, actually pulling the horse's head down quite a bit, leaving two long mud trails on the grass behind him.

Seeing the black horse slow down and almost stop, but still shaking its head and thrashing about, Chu Lingjun's body continued to sway, like a small boat in a storm, swaying with the wind.

"Damn it!!! I said, stop right there!!!"

Ye Xingke's eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked hard with both legs, using all his strength to grab the black horse's mane and forcefully slam its head to the ground.

At this moment, he didn't know how much potential he could unleash; he only knew that in order to protect this woman, his power seemed to become inexhaustible.
