Back in the classroom, half of the class had already passed. Yan Xi touched her face, basking in the gazes of everyone around her with different thoughts, and sat down in her seat as if nothing had happened.

Yinyuan picked up his phone again and opened Baidu to search for blood-nourishing foods, looking at it with unusual seriousness.

Gao Taiming and the others would turn their heads to look at Yan Xi from time to time, wanting to ask her something, but Yan Xi kept her head turned away, staring blankly at the wall without giving them a chance to speak.

……

Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye sat on the stack of books Yan Xi had piled up, speechless, yet it seemed as if they had said everything.

Yan Jue: The Lingxi Pavilion safeguards the balance and it's inconvenient for us to interfere... but I can appropriately refuse certain requests, such as... the power of Lingxi.

Huo Liaoye: Tch, trash. Prepare the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros for me. The human world will be destroyed soon.

……

Mo Sha lay on the table, using the stack of books as cover, and whispered, "Big Stone, do you know what's going on?"

Huang Shi stood in mid-air, arms crossed, staring intently at Yan Xi, muttering to himself, "Now I understand why Mandora wanted to destroy the world... Those guys are probably going to go mad too... The die is cast..."

Mo Sha looked at him with a confused and puzzled expression.

Huangshi sighed, "It's a bit complicated, I'll explain it to you in a bit."

……

Shu Yan glanced at Yan Xi a few times with concern, but Yan Xi's nonchalant demeanor didn't seem like she was just putting on a brave face.

He glanced at Chen Sisi, then suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he abruptly looked at Wang Mo's back in the first row.

If we're talking about the difference between the two experiences, it's like there were two different people involved.

Jianpeng and the other man walked together almost every day, and there was never that feeling of being out of control.

Then, there's only one possibility left.

Shu Yan stared at Wang Mo's back, his glasses concealing the deep thoughts in his eyes.

There's something wrong with her.

……

Ahead, Wenxi was fiddling with her phone, her gaze wandering over the timetable before finally settling on the first physical education class of the afternoon.

She put the phone back in the drawer, a sinister smile playing on her lips.

I glanced back habitually and saw that the person was actually looking at me!

Wenxi's eyes lit up, and an excited look appeared on her face, but she immediately stopped and stiffened.

No, that's not right, that direction, that angle... it's Wang Mo! Damn it!!!

Wen Qian gritted her teeth, her nails digging into her palms but she felt no pain. She stared at Wang Mo's back, her gaze as cold as a snake, her body shrouded in black mist.

……

Wang Mo looked down at the books spread out on the table, looking serious, but she didn't hear a word the teacher said.

Occasionally glancing at the empty seat beside her, she would involuntarily look towards the door, but not seeing Yan Siqi made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

From Chen Sisi's estrangement and seating arrangement to Shu Yanjianpeng's indifference and now Yan Siqi's lack of response, one thing after another weighs on her mind, making her feel inexplicably wronged.

She did nothing wrong, so why did he suddenly distance himself from her?

Inside the drawer, Luo Li pursed her lips, her mind replaying Yan Xi's bloody wound over and over again, her gaze complex and conflicted.

She didn't tell Wang Mo about Yan Xi's identity. She had wanted to tell him earlier, but Wang Mo's enthusiasm for their "long-awaited reunion" made her forget.

If it were before, she would have given an unequivocal answer when asked about protecting the human world, but now... she hesitated.

That's a god, a god representing nature, and it suddenly has a wound... Should humanity really protect it?

Luo Li clenched her fists, her mind in turmoil, finally settling on one thought: Was Fairy Xinling's decision the right one?

……

Finally, school let out at noon. As soon as she heard the bell, Yan Xi stood up, grabbed Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye with one hand, put her arms around them, and grabbed Yin Yuan with the other. They ran out like they were being chased by dogs.

Damn it, school's finally over!

Under the scrutiny of several people, she felt that if she sat any longer, their gazes would poke her through the air!

At first, Yin Yuan was being pulled along by Yan Xi, but he suddenly realized that Yan Xi had gone in circles and almost ran back to the classroom.

His lips twitched, he slammed on the brakes, grabbed Yan Xi, rolled his eyes, and dragged her out, all the way to the school gate.

Huo Liaoye struggled incessantly in Yan Xi's arms. It was incredibly humiliating for the dignified Fire Lord to be held like this.

Yan Jue squinted, his folding fan spinning between his fingertips, and a single sentence silenced him.

He said, "Look how many people your sister has hugged?"

Oh well, so be it if it's embarrassing.

Huo Liaoye sighed, then laughed again. Being hugged isn't so bad.

Suddenly, Yan Xi and Yin Yuan stopped in their tracks at the same time, their eyes both looking at her right index finger.

Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye, not understanding why, also looked over.

A red coil slowly appeared on her fair and slender index finger, and then a long red rope, so long that its other end could not be seen, extended westward into the street.

Yin Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Qi Na?"

Yan Xi nodded, "Three were sent out in total, and two broke. What's going on lately?"

Yinyuan shrugged, indicating that he did not know.

Yan Xi snapped her fingers, and with a snap, a huge purplish-red clock face appeared behind her. It was engraved with intricate and gorgeous patterns, and behind the clock face was a huge nine-tailed fox totem, its head held high, exuding nobility and elegance.

The hour hand on the dial trembled slightly, then moved one notch counterclockwise. A purplish-red energy wave spread out, and the entire world stopped turning.

The red light stopped at the third-to-last second. The noisy crowd stopped moving and fell silent. The butterfly hovered in mid-air, not flapping its wings.

Time stood still.

Yan Xi released her arms from Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye, gesturing for them to grow bigger, "You two come with me later, to support me."

Then she moved her finger, freezing them both in place.

Then she looked at Yin Yuan and said, "If I counted correctly, there are ten transfer students today. Except for Gao Taiming and Mo Sha, they all have systems."

Yin Yuan was taken aback. He pulled out the electronic screen and glanced at it, accurately spotting a number among a pile of messages: twelve.

"There are four more in Wonderland?"

"Not necessarily," Yan Xi looked down at the red thread and shook her head. "Qi Na and Feng Yinsha should have some too."

To be honest, she wanted to kill all of them.

Yinyuan raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Let her rest for a while, get her fat, and then she'll be free."

Yan Xi pouted, sighed in disappointment, and then looked at the teaching building far behind her, saying, "I won't be back for a while, can you ask for leave for me?"

Yin Yuan rolled his eyes. "Go find Lu Ze."

"Alright, I bet some young man bursting with a sense of justice will take the teacher to find Yan Siqi soon, like Wang Mo, or some other little fish."

As Yan Xi spoke, she subconsciously rubbed the ring on her pinky finger, looking at a certain window with a half-smile.

"Use an illusion to cover the door, lock her up for two days, let her clear her head. If she comes out and behaves herself, then let her go. If she tells the teacher... you tell Sisi and Gao Taiming that if she dares to show up at the classroom door like this, call the police and say she needs a blood test."

"Since the toilet can't calm her down, let's send her to the detention center to temper her."

Yin Yuan's brow twitched, and he stroked his chin as he looked Yan Xi up and down.

Goodness, when did this girl become so cunning?

Yan Xi looked at Yin Yuan with disdain, "Ugh, what's with that expression?"

Yin Yuan straightened his expression and seriously snatched the bamboo shoot, "When did you develop such a brain? How come I didn't know?"

Yan Xi: ...

Yan Xi silently drew a long sword from behind her back, her eyes flashing with a fierce light as she looked at Yin Yuan:

"Come on, let's die together!"
