Return of the Phoenix Lady

Today is the second day of the official opening of the Five Nations Academy. Early in the morning, before dawn, Shui Luochen, the "human alarm clock", appeared.

"Knock knock knock~" "Han'er! Yingchen! Fengshang! Are you guys awake? Open the door quickly! Are you awake?..." Fengshang was the first one who couldn't help it. He looked helplessly at the two people who were sleeping peacefully, and resignedly got up from the bed to open the door.

"Oh my! Look at you, it's already so late and you haven't gotten up yet. Hurry up and get up, otherwise you won't have time to eat breakfast!" Shui Luochen started urging the three of them as soon as he entered the door.

"Luo Chen, you got up too early..." Feng Shang said weakly with his sleepy eyes open.

"Really? Oh~ No wonder they were still asleep when I got up..." Shui Luochen looked as if he suddenly realized something.

"Then let me sleep a little longer!" As he said that, he fell back onto the bed.

"Hey hey hey! Don't! Since you're awake now, just get up! Today is a big day, aren't you excited at all? How can you still sleep?" Shui Luochen is in an excited mood now, and he said with full energy.

"A big day? I believed it yesterday, but what about today?" Besides the official start of school, are there any other important days coming up?

"How come you don't know this, kid? Today is the big day for us to practice magic for the first time!" Shui Luochen looked at you with contempt.

"Practicing magic? Oh, I get it. Can I sleep now?" Feng Shang now felt that his eyelids were about to give out. No, no, he was so sleepy. No matter what, he would fight with whoever didn't let him sleep.

Shui Luochen was still expressing his yearning and expectation for cultivation, and did not notice that the person next to him had quietly fallen down.

"You know what? I've been through so much hardship along the way, and I've deeply experienced the distress of having no mana, so, I must... Eh? Feng Shang? Feng Shang? Why are you sleeping again? Are my words so unattractive? Wake up! Hey! Don't sleep anymore, chat with me! I..."

"Stop making noise!" Han Xing was furious. Damn it, it's so early in the morning, before daybreak! And you're already making noise! ​​For Han Xing, who was already a bit grumpy when waking up, this was even more unbearable.

"..." Shui Luochen had no choice but to shrink into the corner and draw circles in grievance.

An hour later, Feng Shang was the first to open his eyes. Seeing Shui Luochen in the corner, he thought it was his earlier impoliteness that caused him to behave like this. He immediately felt embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "Luochen, I'm sorry. I was so sleepy just now that I fell asleep before I could finish what you were saying."

Shui Luochen didn't want to talk about Han Xing yelling at him just now, it was too embarrassing, so he waved his hand and pretended not to care: "It's okay, considering that you apologized so sincerely, I will forgive you."

As he was speaking, Yingchen woke up. Having seen everything, he had no intention of exposing Shui Luochen's little lie, so he got up and went to wash up.

"Huh? Shui Luochen, when did you come in?" Han Xing opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Shui Luochen in confusion.

Shui Luochen was completely petrified after hearing this. It turned out that Han'er had yelled at him subconsciously before, and he had been sad for so long because of it...

After breakfast, the four of them came to the classroom.

"Hey! Isn't this classmate Xinghan who dared to challenge the most beautiful girl in the junior high class?" A shrill male voice came into Han Xing's ears.

Han Xing didn't even bother to raise his eyes and went straight to his seat. Ying Chen behind him paused for a moment and then followed Han Xing closely.

Shui Luochen, who was impatient, couldn't help but shout at the groups of boys who were acting so carelessly: "Who do you think you are? Do you think you should be nosy? What business do you have here?"

"What? Are we saying anything? We have our mouths, what right do you have to control us?" another man said arrogantly.

"Boy! How dare you talk to us like that? Do you want to die? Don't you even want to know who we are? How dare you be so arrogant? Be careful, your grandfather will find someone to beat you up so badly that even your parents won't recognize you!" The third man spoke even more rudely.

"Hmph! You just bought it with money, what's so great about that? If you have the ability, just rely on your own strength!" Han Xing didn't expect that it was possible to get into this academy with money. It seems that Bai Li really didn't discipline his children strictly!

"You...what nonsense are you talking about? I think you are the one! You look so skinny, how can you pass the academy's test?" The leading man panicked at first, then immediately calmed down and retorted.

"I think he must have been bought in. Otherwise, why would he be so inconsiderate as to accept the challenge of the beginner level? Maybe he doesn't even know what competition is!"

"Hehe, maybe they're doing this to attract the attention of the most beautiful girl in the academy! I heard that this most beautiful girl has very high standards and only likes Huo Aoxuan, who is the most powerful, handsome, and has an extraordinary family background in our academy. So, Xinghan must be trying to use her beauty to win the favor of the most beautiful girl!"

"Bullshit! If Han'er were a girl, she would definitely be thousands of times more beautiful than that Liu Hanyue. Who is Liu Hanyue? How could she catch Han'er's eye?" Shui Luochen got angry when he heard what they said. In his heart, Liu Hanyue was not even as beautiful as a hair of Han Xing.

"Oh my! It's so intimate calling you Han'er Han'er! Could you be..."

Just as she was about to say something even more unbearable to the ear, she was interrupted by Feng Shang: "We are all classmates, stop arguing, and the teacher will be here soon."

"Damn it! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you interrupt me! Oh! I remember now, you are the one who splashed food on the dress of the most beautiful girl, haha! Do you want to attract her attention too?" The man who was interrupted by Feng Shang was angry and said sarcastically.

"Bang!" Han Xing pushed himself up with his hands and stood up from his seat. Everyone fell silent and wanted to see what this protagonist was going to do.

Han Xing turned around, tilted her head, her thick bangs covering her eyes, and with her mouth slightly curved, she slowly walked towards the three men.

"What...what do you want to do?" The man seemed to feel the strong aura of the young man and was shocked and stuttered for a moment.

She raised her head, and under her bangs, a pair of cold eyes looked straight at the three men. Her cold eyes seemed to be able to see into their hearts, making them shiver.

"You insulted my friend." Han Xing narrated calmly.

"So...so what?"

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"what?"

"If you have the guts, start a bet in the academy and bet on whether I will win or Liu Hanyue will win. Do you dare?"

"Haha! You're so arrogant! Fine! I'll bet on the most beautiful girl to win! 100 gold."

"I'm betting on myself to win. 1000 gold!"

"Seeing that you want to lose all your money so badly, I will help you! I just hope that you don't lose so much that even your clothes will be stripped off! Haha!" The man was sure of winning this bet. He could already imagine this arrogant and overconfident boy losing miserably.

Han Xing stopped talking, a sneer on her face, and returned to her seat. She wanted to teach these guys who insulted her friend a lesson.
