Ch 288: Our friendship is unbreakable!

A very bad experience.

Who taught them to use magic like this?!

The path grew darker and darker. Rui Bu Si was thinking about turning on a light when a dazzling, constantly flickering light suddenly appeared ahead.

I’m going blind…

Her eyes slightly improved, barely able to open a slit. Before she could see her surroundings, an unknown liquid rapidly flew towards her eyes.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes and retreated, stepping on a banana peel.

…What a mess.

Everything was interconnected, leading to the final step. The Binding Spell bound her. Teacher He Yan, with his meager conscience, tugged on the rope, preventing her from falling.

Rui Bu Si gave up on casting a spell.

She quickly learned what the liquid was.

Under the normal lights of the Infirmary, her eyes gradually opened. Due to the soreness and swelling, she secreted saline solution. She yawned; everyone here was familiar.

She silently glanced at the person guarding her, then silently looked at the red liquid on her hand.

Hmm, tomato sauce.

Magic that glows, and magic that can conjure food, plus someone who eats a banana and throws the peel.

—Conclusion reached quickly after brief analysis.

At the beginning of each new semester, she would quickly ascertain the Name Magic of the students in this school.

New classmates haven’t been figured out to that extent yet.

But thanks to the Daily Ten Good Deeds the System initially required, regarding old classmates, let alone magic, she knows everything about their families, even what their dogs like.

“Speak,” she leaned back in her chair, “your purpose.”

She knew Teacher He Yan lured her out for a reason, but she didn’t expect to be greeted by such strange magic.

She had already prepared to flee in panic because she couldn’t defeat the Meng Knights, then reappear later to yell a couple of times.

It turned out they weren’t trying to beat her up.

“The Binding Spell can’t hold you.”

Her not-so-good boyfriend appeared with the air of being unfamiliar with her, leaving Rui Bu Si feeling utterly helpless.

Arguments, as always, need to be resolved on the spot.

Otherwise, like now, the problem will snowball.

When people encounter difficult problems that lead to negative consequences, they often blame others.

Rui Bu Si quickly found someone to blame.

If she hadn’t been thinking about Wen Ci at the time, she wouldn’t have failed to chase after them!

【Don’t blame everything on me.】

After feigning death, Miss System’s reaction was as swift as before; her answer was perfectly in line with her usual style.

This showed their friendly relationship continued.

“Director Pa and the Gloomy Duchess have something to discuss and need you to stay here for a while.”

Hands in pockets, leaning against the wall beside the Infirmary door, their gaze fell on her, faint.

It’s like they’ve never gotten along.

Rui Bu Si felt her bound hands itching to move, but she restrained herself.

“He’s quite handsome like this.” Never seen this before; it’s novel.

“Wen Ci, don’t read weird novels in my head at this time.”

She was just venting to someone; she didn’t need a response from them.

Still this weird response—sometimes, being too close is a burden.

The voice in her head stopped. Rui Bu Si looked at him. Thanks to Wen Ci’s novel, she felt her gaze might be unusual:

“Are you the only one stopping me?”

Winning a fight would require too much energy and time, but escaping would be quite easy for her.

“Mm.” Mi Ya Xing responded, slowly pulling out something Teacher He Yan had given him from his pocket.

To be honest, he wasn’t sure if this thing could really restrain someone.

But Teacher He Yan had been more certain than Director Pa in convincing the Gloomy Duchess, and everyone else…

Insecure in his heart, he showed no sign on his face. The gold coin he just took out glinted in the light, and the person tied to the chair’s eyes widened.

Mi Ya Xing felt a strange emotion.

He even wanted to put the gold coin back in his pocket.

“If you run, I’ll destroy it.”

Pain, so much pain. Just imagining it, she felt more pain than the suffering female lead who gets her kidney and heart ripped out.

“If I stay here?”

With lips at thirty-seven degrees, they uttered heart-warming words: “It will be yours.”

Rui Bu Si was quiet and well-behaved for a long time.

“I feel a little tired of staying like this.”

Mi Ya Xing didn’t look up: “The rope breaks, the gold coin is gone.”

The hand that was about to break the rope paused, then slightly loosened.

To be precise, it loosened a little more.

“Why so long? What is Director Pa planning to say to the Gloomy Duchess?”

Swinging her legs, her gaze followed the gold coin Mi Ya Xing tossed up and down.

But she could still focus on talking: “Let me guess…”

The gold coin landed in her palm, which she clenched. Mi Ya Xing looked at her: “Tricks, nothing either.”

Rui Bu Si: …

“Wen Ci, he’s so cold.”

【He’s lost his memory.】

“Even if he has amnesia, still…”

【It’s your fault.】

Is it? Really?

Suddenly, she felt an itch in her head, as if some memory was trying to escape.

【You can refuse this gold coin.】

“That’s too embarrassing.”

【Then grab it.】

“You’re cold too.”

She just made her boyfriend angry.

She wasn’t thinking about breaking up so soon.

…

The Gloomy Duchess remained silent regarding the terms offered by Pa Hua Luo Di.

This is so tempting.

“This deal is a sure win for you, you get freedom without paying anything, and also our Quark Clan’s latest and best,” Pa Hua Luo Di really couldn’t remember the brand name, “face mask, made by eight top cosmetic masters from the universe, that can keep you forever young.”

What is the Gloomy Duchess thinking? Wrinkles and disappearance, her two biggest fears solved at once, and she still doesn’t agree?

Did he offer the conditions too quickly?

He didn’t want to be that quick either.

His dry mouth made him take several more sips of the beverage on the table.

His stomach was really… What did Teacher Da Tiantian put in her breakfast?!

Pa Hua Luo Di didn’t suspect the beverage at all.

He secretly switched the drinks while the Gloomy Duchess wasn’t looking.

“With such generous conditions,” serving the Dark Great Emperor for two hundred years, only to be lightly dismissed to be sacrificed, the Gloomy Duchess didn’t believe there was such a thing as a free lunch, “what are your demands?”

“Our conditions…” His stomach ached more.

Still bearable.

“We demand that the teachers and students of Meng Academy remain safe and unharmed.”

“Just speak, why are you squirming around?”

The Gloomy Duchess always spoke her mind.

She couldn’t control her mouth even in front of the Dark Great Emperor, let alone this person who wasn’t her opponent.

Pa Hua Luo Di’s face twisted; he would grumble behind someone’s back if he had any complaints, and when he couldn’t help but say it to their face, he acted shy: “Haha, it’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

He was still squirming, the Gloomy Duchess frowned: “It’s not impossible to agree, but I can only guarantee that I won’t hurt the teachers and students of Meng Academy, I can’t guarantee that I will protect them from others…”

“That’s wonderful that you agreed.”

The person negotiating with her was acting like his butt was on fire, he didn’t let her finish before acting like he was in a hurry to leave.

“You’re in such a hurry…”

Again, he didn’t finish his sentence. The chair Pa Hua Luo Di was sitting on—collapsed.

It was only tampering with the chair, why was Wu Yan busy for most of the night? Yin Sen suddenly recalled his own request.

To prevent Huang Wu from discovering anything wrong with the chair, and to make her fall multiple times, Yin Sen’s request was that all chairs except hers should be tampered with.

“That, are you…” paralyzed?

Before he could express his concern, the almost disintegrated Pa Hua Luo Di abruptly stood up and swiftly left.

“What’s the hurry?” With a slight sense, the slaves were all still there.

Wasn’t he secretly saving people?

“Then what is he in such a hurry for?”
