I revived the Demonic Sect in North America

Chapter 154 Cheerleader

Just as he had barely managed to deal with another wave of younger students, and with the lockers just a dozen meters away, he was about to speed up and sprint over when the crowd suddenly parted slightly.

A sweet, cloying fragrance with floral and fruity notes wafted over first.

A tall figure walked briskly to him and blocked his way at just the right moment.

Britney Lake.

Captain of the River Valley Academy cheerleading team, one of the most eye-catching girls in the school.

Her meticulously styled, shimmering golden hair, like waves of wheat, was tied into a high, vibrant ponytail at the back of her head, swaying gently with her steps.

The girl was wearing the school's uniform dark blue V-neck crop top and white skirt, which was a cheerleader outfit.

But clearly, after her subtle adjustments, it fits the body curves better, perfectly outlining a slender waist and straight, long legs.

Her face had a delicate yet understated makeup look, and her lips had a moist, pink sheen.

Li Ang knew her.

She's not just a cheerleader, but also the girlfriend of the team's former starting quarterback, Jack Davis.

Britney extended her right hand with an elegant gesture, her wrist slender and her fingers long.

Her nails were neatly trimmed and painted with a dark blue glitter polish that matched the Cavaliers' main color.

Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying the enthusiasm and energy unique to cheerleaders: "Li Ang, let's get to know each other formally, I'm Britney. Last night's game—wow!"

She paused at just the right moment, blinked her blue eyes, and said with just the right amount of amazement and admiration, "It's simply unbelievable. My heart almost stopped when I saw it."

Out of politeness, Li Ang shook hands with him.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Inferior-grade furnace cauldron detected: Cheerleader Captain.]

[Cheerleader: The meaning of cheerleader is simply cheerleader.]

[Difficulty level: Relatively easy.]

[System notification: Please subdue this furnace as soon as possible.]

[Reward for a low-grade furnace: One tael of gold.]

However, Li Ang felt no ripples in his heart.

The reason is simple: he thinks it's dirty.

Food should be eaten hygienically, shouldn't it?

He then calmly said, "Thank you. The team played very hard last night; this victory belongs to the entire River Valley Academy rugby team."

Britney didn't take Li Ang's reserve to heart.

She knew that these kinds of Chinese-American guys were all secretly passionate, seemingly serious but actually probably about to pee their pants.

So she smiled charmingly and said, "Don't be so modest."

She leaned forward slightly, closing the distance a little.

The sweet perfume scent became even more pronounced, and you could almost feel the warmth emanating from her body.

"Now the whole school, no, probably the whole River Valley community, knows that you single-handedly carried the team back from the competition. Seriously,"

She lowered her voice, her blue eyes, like tiny hooks, sweeping meaningfully over Li Ang's broad chest and strong arms, visible even through his coat: "Before yesterday, I heard you took Jack's place, and I was a little surprised. Now I realize the coach's judgment was spot on. You're much better than you look."

Her words carried a clear implication, with a slight upward slant at the end.

Britney lowered her voice even further, almost whispering, in an intimate, secret-sharing tone: "You know, the school's throwing a victory party for the team at the gym tonight? It's going to be really noisy. Maybe we could find a quiet place and talk alone? I think we'd have a lot in common. After all, we're both involved with the team, aren't we?"

'

She emphasized the words "closely related," her eyes shifting, ambiguous in their expression.

Li Ang's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, barely noticeable.

He subtly took half a step back, widening the distance between them again. His voice remained calm and emotionless as he said, "Thank you for the invitation. However, celebrating is a matter for everyone on the team, and I think it's good enough to celebrate with everyone."

Britney's smile faltered a little this time.

A clear look of surprise flashed in those beautiful blue eyes, which was quickly replaced by anger and embarrassment.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been almost invincible among boys, especially those players who are covered in sweat and whose minds seem to be filled only with muscles and rugby.

She took the initiative to be friendly, but the other party just ignored her like that?

Just then, a crisp voice, clearly tinged with anger, cut in abruptly like a knife: "Hey! Stay away from him, Britney!"

Liu Yue suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Unlike her usual neat ponytail, her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, swaying slightly as she walked briskly.

Britney heard the voice, turned around, saw Liu Yue, and a flash of undisguised disdain crossed her eyes.

But she quickly put on an even thicker and more fake sweet smile; her ability to change her expression was truly first-rate.

"Young man, Li Ang and I were just talking about team matters. What, do I need your permission for that?"

Liu Yue strode over to Li Ang's side in a few steps, naturally reached out, and grabbed Li Ang's arm tightly, almost pulling him closer to her.

Then, raising her delicate chin, she glared at Britney without flinching, her tone sharp and firm: "That's right, it requires my approval! I'm his girlfriend. So, this kind of chatting, especially this kind of one-on-one chatting, I really have to do something about it."

She deliberately mimicked Britney's affected way of speaking, which was full of sarcasm.

From the students who hadn't yet dispersed, several low snickers and boos erupted.

Britney's face flushed red, then turned deathly pale, her expression one of embarrassment.

She never expected this usually quiet, wealthy Chinese-American girl to be so direct and so disrespectful.

What made it even more embarrassing for her was that Li Ang simply let Liu Yue hold his arm.

She even turned her body slightly towards Liu Yue, showing no intention of breaking free or explaining.

Britney bit her lower lip hard, leaving a small tooth mark.

But soon, she laughed again.

This laugh carried a clear provocation, and a hint of contempt, as if saying, "I can't be bothered with you."

She stopped looking at Liu Yue, completely ignoring her, and refocused her gaze on Li Ang's face.

Those blue eyes instantly welled up with tears, making them look pitiful.

His voice softened, trembling slightly as he said, "Li Ang, I just wanted to congratulate you and be happy for the team. I didn't know you had a girlfriend, and I didn't know she would react so strongly. I'm truly sorry if I've caused you any trouble."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, revealing glimpses of her skin beneath her V-neck, and said in a low, gentle voice, "But what I just said was true. My invitation is always valid. Anytime is fine."

"I think if it's just the two of us, spending some quiet time together, we'll definitely relax more and understand each other better. You deserve better, Li Ang. You're a good boy, you deserve more—"

These words are blatant provocation and insinuation, directly categorizing Liu Yue as someone who is not good enough.

Liu Yue's eyes widened in anger, her chest heaved, and she tightened her grip on Li Ang's arm, her nails almost digging into his coat.

Li Ang gently patted Liu Yue's hand, which was tightly gripping his arm, signaling her to calm down.

Then, he steadily but firmly pulled his arm out of her grasp.

This action startled Liu Yue. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion and hurt.

A fleeting smug look flashed across Britney's eyes.

But Li Ang's next move froze both of them.

He took half a step forward, not towards Britney, but firmly and completely blocking Liu Yue's path, using his body to separate her from Britney.

This protective stance speaks for itself.

He looked at Britney, his face expressionless, but the temperature in his eyes had dropped to freezing.

"Miss Lake."

He used a formal, somewhat distant form of address.

"Thank you for your affirmation and praise."

He spoke slowly, but every word carried weight: "I am very satisfied with what I have now, and I feel it is enough. My affairs are none of anyone else's business."

66

He paused, his gaze calmly sweeping over Britney's face, which was flushed with shock, shame, and disbelief. "We have to go to class. Also, please stay away from me. I'm not interested in you, not before, and I never will. Put away your act and save yourself some dignity."

66

After saying that, he didn't even wait for Britney to react before turning around and naturally taking Liu Yue's hand again, which had just let go and was still a little dazed.

"I'm gone."

He took Liu Yue's hand and stopped looking at Britney, who was frozen in place, her face turning from red to white and then from white to green, her body trembling slightly.

He ignored the wide-eyed, mouth-covering, excited, or surprised faces around him and walked straight past her.

Britney's sweet perfume became somewhat pungent as we passed by.

It wasn't until there were fewer people around that Liu Yue seemed to suddenly wake up from a violent dream.

She gasped sharply, then gripped Li Ang's hand tightly in return.

"My God! Li Ang! You were so cool just now! Absolutely awesome! You were incredibly cool! Did you see Britney's face at the end? Haha, she looked like she'd swallowed a toad whole! Even better, even more so, pfft! Who does she think she is?"

She clung to Li Ang's arm, practically hanging on him, looking up at him with eyes that shone like they contained the entire galaxy, filled with undisguised adoration.

"You actually said that about her for my sake! So direct, so disrespectful! In front of so many people! My God, my heart is pounding so hard!"

Li Ang let her hug him, even slightly adjusting his pace to match her joyful rhythm, and didn't let go of her hand.

"Hehe, I just said what I had to say."

Liu Yue emphasized, "What he said was incredibly cool!"

66

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, the excitement on his face faded slightly, replaced by an expression of utter regret. "Oh! Right! Speaking of yesterday! I'm so regretful! I'm kicking myself! I actually missed your match! I missed your moment of glory!"

'

She stomped her foot angrily and said, "It's all my dad's fault! That old fogey! So stubborn! He insisted on celebrating my birthday with me. I told him I wanted to go watch your game, but he wouldn't let me! He even locked the door! I'm so angry!"

.

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her cheeks puffed up.

But soon, this anger was replaced by an even stronger excitement.

She shook Li Ang's arm vigorously, her eyes sparkling again, and said, "When I first went to school and learned about your glorious achievements in yesterday's competition, I almost went crazy! I regretted it so much! I should have—"

'

She paused, then suddenly brandished her little fist and said through gritted teeth, "I fought with my dad right then and there! Really! I was so angry that I pounced on him and punched him. Although it didn't hurt him, I tore his favorite shirt! It's all because he wouldn't let me watch my boyfriend make history!"

'

Li Ang paused, staring at her in astonishment. A rare, obvious crack appeared in his expression as he said, "You—fought with your dad? And tore his shirt?"

Liu Yue spoke with righteous indignation, but a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. She then became righteous again and said, "That's right! Who told him to stop me! He deserves it! Humph!"

'

Looking at her "I did nothing wrong, I'll do it again next time" look, Li Ang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Finally, he just shook his head, raised his hand and ruffled her loose black hair, saying, "Alright, stop fooling around."

Liu Yue rubbed against his palm with enjoyment, like a cat being stroked, and said, "How is this joking? This is defending my rights as your girlfriend!"

'

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she raised her face, blinked, her long eyelashes like small fans, and revealed a sly smile with a hint of wickedness, saying, "However, Li Ang, given that you just bravely repelled the school beauty's harassment and perfectly protected your poor, weak, and helpless girlfriend's frightened heart—now, shouldn't I reward you properly?"

'

Li Ang looked at her and asked knowingly, "Skipping class again?"

'

Liu Yue smiled like a triumphant little fox, her eyes curving into crescents as she said, "Bingo! Don't our great light-speed runners need a little... well, post-race relaxation and a deep massage?"

'

She licked her pink lips, looked at him seductively, and said meaningfully, "The usual place, I know there's no one here now."

A few minutes later, the familiar white wooden door to the infirmary was closed, the lock clicking softly.

The curtains were drawn, making the room dimly lit.

The air smelled of disinfectant, and the temperature was rising rapidly.

Liu Yue practically leaped onto Li Ang, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him eagerly.

"You were so cool just now!"

"3

Li Ang embraced her and returned her kiss.

The two quickly collapsed onto the familiar examination bed, their breathing becoming rapid.

Just then, click.

The doorknob of the health room was turned from the outside.

The two people froze in place.

The door was pushed open, and the light from the corridor rushed in, only to be blocked by a figure walking in.

Dr. Peyton Elizabeth stood in the doorway, carrying her beige leather handbag.

Her long, dark brown hair was styled into an elegant yet slightly casual bun at the back of her head, with a few strands hanging loosely beside her neck.

She wasn't wearing her usual white lab coat today; underneath was a light camel-colored silk shirt with one button undone at the collar, and over it was a well-fitting dark gray suit jacket.

She wore a pencil skirt in the same color family, flesh-colored stockings, and black mid-heel leather shoes.

She exudes a mature and intellectual charm with a touch of languor.
