All my teammates online are my girlfriends

Lin Qiu watched helplessly as the claws reached for his neck, yet he remained unmoved. His wooden expression, however, appeared as one of utter terror to Ze Zhi, which only fueled Ze Zhi's excitement.

But the next second—

Pfft!

Her heart skipped a beat without warning, accompanied by an indescribable, violent spasm that made Zezhi feel a suffocating dizziness.

The restless magic within his body also turned into stagnant water at this moment, without any movement.

Then, Ze Zhi sat perfectly in Lin Qiu's lap, face to face.

The air itself fell into a deathly silence at that moment...

What were you trying to do just now?

Lin Qiu looked down at Ze Zhi, whose expression was stiff, with a mocking smile on his face.

"I—I was just doing some casual exercise..."

Sawaori scratched her face awkwardly, her brain seemingly short-circuiting.

What the hell is going on? Why are my skills not working? And my magic isn't working either!!

"What a coincidence! The first thing you did was target me? You wouldn't be thinking of taking this opportunity to eliminate me and then seize power, would you?"

"How could that be? Do you think I, Zezhi, am that kind of person?!"

Sawari defended herself earnestly, while inwardly she frantically considered her next escape route.

Before she could do anything, the door to the infirmary was suddenly flung open, and Nishiki's voice rang out—

"Sawari, Teacher Shiro wants to see you and asks you to come over..."

"Boom."

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut again, as if no one had ever been there...

229 - On the question of master and servant

"Ya Ya, you know me. That kind of thing could only be an accident."

"Are you trying to say that you and Lin Qiu had some kind of argument, got into a fight, and accidentally sat on his lap, and that I happened to open the door at that moment, causing a misunderstanding?"

You understand me!!!

"That's how the male and female protagonists act in novels. They say it's a misunderstanding, but who would believe that nonsense!"

Nishiki couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zezhi. Did you two look like you were wrestling?

They were hugging and cuddling face to face, almost kissing!

The most crucial point is that it's one thing for you two to be secretly intimate in private, but the school nurse is sitting right next to you!

Are you guys really that brave? Going against the grain?!

Could it be that you, Sawaori, have some strange XP system...?

Seeing the increasingly strange expression on Ya Ya's face, Ze Zhi felt completely uneasy.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't overthink it!"

"I do not have."

Seeing that Zezhi had seen through her wicked thoughts, Yaya blushed slightly. While denying it, her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Lin Qiu, who was near the back door.

According to rumors circulating in the class, Lin Qiu has been getting very close to the class monitor lately.

But now he's being intimate with Sawaori, what's going on?

A love triangle? The secret behind the victim?!

"Let's put that aside for now, Ya Ya, has anything been strange happening around your place lately?"

"Huh? Do you know something?!"

Hearing Zezhi suddenly ask this question, Yaya's expression immediately tensed up.

There has been something strange going on around my house lately, but I haven't been able to find the source, which is making me feel uneasy.

Does Sawari know something?

"Did something really happen to you?"

Originally, it was just a symbolic question, since the environment near Lin Qiu and Teacher Yun Ge's homes had changed, and it was likely that the same could happen to other people's homes as well.

But unexpectedly, Ya Ya also encountered a problem!

"As you know, there's a new residential complex under construction across from my apartment. There are a lot of workers, and it's quite noisy."

"Oh right, you also said the noise was too loud before."

"Yes, but in the last few days, there has been no sound from over there. Although workers still go in, they have never been seen coming out. And even during the day, it is still as eerie as at night."

At this point, Ya Ya couldn't help but shudder.

"There might be some problem with the construction that has caused it to be suspended. Don't scare yourself unnecessarily."

Ze Zhi comforted her, and since it didn't seem to be anything like the changes in the environment or plants that Lin Qiu and the others had experienced, she felt a little more at ease.

It's just a problem with the construction team; it shouldn't be a big deal.

However, Ya Ya shook her head, her face pale, and whispered—

"No, last night I looked out the window and there was a big shadow moving around at the construction site, and a lot of blood was splattered out."

"When I passed by this morning, there was nothing there where I had seen blood before, but I could still smell the lingering blood."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Ze Zhi felt a chill rise up from her back, and her body involuntarily shrank back.

Is it really appropriate to tell ghost stories in broad daylight?

"Ya Ya, are you sure you're not telling me a ghost story to scare me?"

"Of course I'm just trying to scare you. Where in this world would such a bizarre monster come from, and I just happened to run into it."

Snapped!

Zezhi's forehead immediately creased into a 'well' shape, and she glared fiercely at Yaya.

I was worried about you, and you were just kidding me?!

You're setting a really high bar with those words; be careful, or you might actually get into trouble!

Seeing Zezhi's flustered expression, Yaya couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and waved her hand, saying—

"Alright, alright, let's not worry about that anymore. Let's talk about you and Lin Qiu. Are there really no signs of anything going on between you two?"

"No, we're just ordinary friends... Oh right, for the next month, he'll still be my follower. If I tell him to go east, he can't go west!"

Sawaori was talking nonsense with a straight face. Although there was a little dispute about the master-servant issue, it shouldn't matter!

However, Ya Ya just looked at her subtly upon hearing this, clearly not believing her nonsense.

Based on this issue of having a follower, your relationship is clearly not normal!

"Haha—never mind, I don't know what's going on with you guys either, but it seems like the class monitor is interested in Lin Qiu, so you should be prepared."

Ya Ya reminded her at the right moment that if she remembered correctly, Ze Zhi and the class president had been getting along quite well recently.

Hopefully, they won't start fighting over a man.

"What kind of mental preparation do I need to do? I could tell from the start that something was wrong between the two of them."

Ze Zhi said nonchalantly, "How could I not see through Qin Yunmo's little tangled thoughts?"

You're acting strange too! You've been hanging out with Lin Qiu quite a bit lately, and there are a lot of rumors going around the class about you and Lin Qiu!

Ya Ya glanced at her sideways, but was too lazy to say anything more, and just looked at the corner behind her again.

This time, however, Qin Yunmo pressed Lin Qiu firmly against the table, restraining him with one hand while cruelly twisting his soft flesh with the other.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—Class monitor, I was wrong, I was wrong! It was just a little joke, don't worry about it!"

Lin Qiu begged for mercy, his face contorted with rage.

Damn it, I have skills now, how come I still can't beat them?!

However, Qin Yunmo simply looked down at the rebellious fellow, showing no sign of weakening his grip.

You've already heard Xiaoxi talk about the skills you can use, do you really think you have no defenses?

No matter how skilled he is, he's still just an ordinary person with a slightly enhanced body, so he shouldn't even think about turning the tables on me!

"Tell me in detail what happened to you."

Qin Yunmo snorted and asked, "These guys haven't been acting right lately, it's better to find out."

"Those are the ones I told you about yesterday, really, they're gone!"

"Then what happened to you just now? The golden glow on your fingers, isn't that the 'Sealing Knock' from 'Kara no Kyoukai'? How were you able to use it?"

"You can use it after eating the fruit that mutated twice in my area. It's based on the skill bar in your game, and it has a cooldown time. At the beginning, it feels like there's very little magic."

Lin Qiu explained honestly that if it weren't for the fact that get out of class had just ended and there were other students nearby, he would have already used his escape skills.

It's a sudden enhancement of ability, and I'm still getting used to it. I'll get used to it eventually...

"What's with that look on your face, like you're trying to harm me?"

"It was just my imagination—ouch, ouch, ouch, I really won't do it again!"

Qin Yunmo stared expressionlessly at the unruly boy, but before she could speak, she felt everyone in the class looking at her...

230 - Rival List Assassination List

"Could they be dating?"

"It feels very similar. The class monitor is usually not that close to any boy."

"His family status is obvious."

"Did they hear us?"

"No way......"

......

Hearing the whispers around him, Qin Yunmo's expression stiffened. He glared at Lin Qiu before letting go and sitting back down.

The longer you know this guy, the more rumors you spread!

Zezhi, that philandering cat, is always sticking to him, so why does he only pass on his own stuff?

"Class monitor, don't worry about it so much. Let them say what they want. Have some fruit to calm your nerves."

Before she could say anything, Lin Qiu's voice drifted over from the side, along with an apple that looked extremely strange.

"Is this the mutated fruit from your farm?"

"Oh right, it can enhance physical fitness and generate magic power after eating it, and it tastes pretty good!"

"Is this so..."

Qin Yunmo murmured to himself, but after taking it, he showed no intention of eating it.

This guy was just ravaged by me, and now he's offering me fruit? He's obviously up to no good!

"no side effects?"

Playing with the extremely twisted apple, Qin Yunmo casually asked a question.

"How could that be? If it had side effects, it wouldn't have been given to you. It would be more suitable for Zezhi."

"If she hears you say that, you'll be beaten to death."

"It's alright, she'll never be able to cough again—and I'm not afraid of her!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this obviously inappropriate answer, Qin Yunmo's eyes narrowed instantly.

This apple clearly has a big problem!
