Chapter 45: Campus Legend: The Silver-Haired Demon (2)

Those who had been loudly condemning Yiluo unconsciously took a step back.

They didn’t dare meet her gaze and instead looked around nervously.

Uh…

Even Ruixin, who had reached Earth-rank strength, had been knocked out cold by a single strike from the girl.

Who would dare go up now?!

The name “Silver-Haired Demon” truly wasn’t exaggerated.

Unprovokable.

Absolutely unprovokable.

For a moment, the entire scene fell silent.

Of course, there were still those with great skill and even greater courage.

For example, the absurdly wealthy Roz.

He stood not far from Ruixin.

The moment Ruixin fell, Roz quickly sidestepped, worried the dust kicked up might dirty the clothes tailored by the most famous tailor on the Western Continent.

Inside, he was laughing like crazy.

Wasn’t you so arrogant, Ruixin?

Didn’t you brag about your demi-human second-stage burst?

Didn’t you reach Earth-rank strength?

Heh.

This time you really embarrassed yourself.

So satisfying!

A demi-human like you doesn’t even look in the mirror at how ugly you are, yet you strut around acting tough.

Got instantly taken out, didn’t you~

Serves you right!

Coco’s master is really something.

Beautiful and strong.

Sure, she’s still young now, but her future growth potential is limitless!

Even raising her as a candidate wife would be totally viable!

Originally, Roz had only followed along because his pride was pricked.

But after seeing Yiluo, he felt this trip was a massive win.

With his looks that rivaled women, his enormous wealth and power behind him, even if he couldn’t take the girl down right now, it was only a matter of time.

At worst, he could just go directly to the empire she belonged to.

No empire would refuse cooperation with a money house just because of a woman!

And once the master was taken down, then as the servant, Coco…

Woohoo~

This wave would send him straight to the skies!

Thinking this far, Roz decided to take it slow.

While everyone else stepped back, his eyes sparkled with confidence as he stepped forward instead.

He planned to give the girl a perfect self-introduction, then mock the unconscious Ruixin a bit to farm some goodwill.

Boom————

Clang————

Before Roz could even say a word, Yiluo greeted him with a sword to the head.

He was knocked out and slammed to the ground.

How should one put it—

He and Ruixin lay side by side, neatly aligned.

He hadn’t even taken off yet, only to be hammered straight into the dirt by Yiluo.

The few maids beside Roz were furious but dared not speak.

They hurriedly carried him away.

Yiluo looked at the unconscious Roz being hauled off, pouted, and muttered to herself, “Dressed all flashy, looks so effeminate, surrounded by several pretty little maids…

People like that are the most dangerous.

I really need to tell Coco to be careful.”

“Or maybe… just deal with him tonight?”

Yiluo’s impression of Roz was even worse than that of the big, dumb Ruixin.

She hadn’t even gone looking for him, yet he hopped forward all on his own.

Wasn’t that just asking for death…

The few people standing a bit closer to Yiluo immediately turned around and left.

Uh…

Who could afford to provoke this?!

Roz didn’t even get a chance to speak before being knocked out.

And she was even thinking about silencing him permanently.

This was a demon among demons!

Two of the three leaders had been K.O.’d.

Hero Chen Yu, you can put on a show yourself now.

Good luck~

We’re out.

Bye-bye!

After watching Ruixin and Roz get taken down in succession, Chen Yu understood the situation clearly.

He weighed in his heart whether he was a match for the girl.

Then he helplessly shook his head and decided not to get involved anymore.

Otherwise, the loss of face would be far worse than when he had been rejected in class.

He quickly turned back to the crowd and said, “Alright, everyone, disperse, disperse.

This beautiful and adorable little sister clearly thought someone was going to bully her servant, so she stood up for her.”

“Yeah, Ruixin is usually overbearing anyway.

I heard that even making eye contact with him can get you beaten.

Getting knocked out this time was basically karma.”

“And that Roz—relying on his money and power, who knows how many cute juniors he’s harmed.

This beating is retribution.”

“If the Hero says so, it must be true.

We misunderstood this beautiful little junior sister.

Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Yeah, yeah!

Let’s go!”

The Coco faction scattered in a rush and slipped away.

The Yiluo faction also withdrew from the Whispering Dormitory courtyard, gazing from afar at their new goddess with hearts full of admiration and excitement.

Chen Yu smartly stepped back a few steps first to avoid being suddenly smacked.

Only then did he turn back and give Yiluo a gentle smile.

“Beautiful little sister, I’ll be leaving too.

I’m Hero Chen Yu.

If you need anything, feel free to find me.”

Chen Yu thought he could gain both reputation and make a clean escape.

But who would have thought the girl in front of him seemed extremely interested in him?

In the next instant, she appeared right in front of him at a speed even he couldn’t perceive.

He subconsciously stepped back.

His left hand extended forward, his center of gravity lowered, and his right hand moved back to grip the black sword hilt.

He took a sword-drawing stance.

This sequence of movements was extremely smooth.

It was clear his combat ability was definitely not low.

This was pure instinct, driven by battle reflexes.

However, after completing this series of actions, he regretted it.

He had already seen how the girl knocked out Ruixin and Roz.

It wasn’t that those two were weak.

It was that the girl was far too strong.

Conservatively estimated, her strength was at least Heaven-rank or above.

If two Earth-rank fighters fought each other, there would be all kinds of techniques and martial skills flying around.

The spectacle would be no less dazzling than cheap special effects, leaving spectators applauding and feeling enlightened—

Even though, in reality, almost no one actually learned anything.

But what about a Heaven-rank versus an Earth-rank?

It was like a martial arts master performing a gorgeous blade light on the spot, showing off techniques for ages before finally charging at someone who had already grown bored watching.

That person calmly pulled out a handgun, said, “Sir, the times have changed,”

Pulled the trigger with a bang, and instantly killed the martial arts master.

Comparability?

Nonexistent!

After all, even an exceptionally talented fifth-tier warrior would need five to ten years to advance to Earth-rank.

From Earth-rank to Heaven-rank might take over thirty years—

And most would never break through in their lifetime.

Even such geniuses only appeared a handful of times per year in an entire empire.

“So.

Are you also interested in my Coco?”

Yiluo craned her little head, curiously examining Chen Yu.

When she saw his battle stance, a trace of ferocity flashed in her eyes.

Anything could be “talked through.”

But if you’re coveting our Coco’s body—

Then goodbye to you, sir~

Hearing Yiluo’s words, Chen Yu was secretly thankful that the girl’s hostility wasn’t particularly strong.

He quickly released the hand gripping his sword and stood properly, looking very embarrassed as he shook his head.

“Conditioned reflex…

Conditioned reflex…”

“I only saw so many people following Yi Coco and was worried something might happen to her.

So I came over to see if there was anything I could help with.

Although Miss Coco is indeed very beautiful and adorable, I know she’s far beyond my reach.

I wouldn’t dare harbor any improper thoughts.”

The girl in front of him clearly didn’t play by common sense.

Chen Yu had thought through these words very carefully.

They had to highlight his sense of justice, paint him as a model youth,

Avoid implying that he wanted to pursue Coco,

And at the same time avoid belittling Coco in any way.

Chen Yu was suffering internally.

This was truly difficult.

But seeing the fierce-yet-cute look on the girl’s face gradually soften,

And a smile appear,

He finally felt relieved.

Phew.

At least he had successfully earned the girl’s goodwill.

“Heh…

I hate liars the most…”

However—

The faint smile on the girl’s face slowly turned cold.

A hint of cunning flickered in her eyes, making Chen Yu’s heart skip a beat.

Uh…

Is my life… over?
