After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"I can give you sufficient compensation."

Zhou Yan nodded.

"So you wanted me to be your mole?"

"I want to win the championship in the four-school competition."

Mu Yuan slightly raised his chin.

"Lord Xuanwu wants to change this world, but as a renowned and powerful figure, he cannot step into the arena to fight against juniors. Therefore, I am the only one who can step into the arena, defeat everyone in the Four Schools Competition, and tell all the awakened students in other schools, as well as the new generation of other awakened clans, that this world has changed."

"You should be well aware of this, Junior Zhou, right?"

Of course, it's clear that Zhou Yan only started to behave after he defeated Lin Anru and Lin Lei. To put it bluntly, Awakened students are all spineless; they won't listen unless they're beaten up and learn the pain.

only……

Zhou Yan countered with a question.

"I believe in Xuanwu, but are you worthy of my trust?"

Mu Yuan chuckled and took out his business card, then handed it to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan took it, and Mu Yuan turned and left, saying as he walked away.

“Junior, you’re not the only one at the Wu Family Martial Arts Academy. I can find more than just you.”

Mu Yuan reached the bottom of the stairs and went down.

Zhou Yan glanced at Mu Yuan's business card, then scoffed.

A remake of the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Mu Yuan could find others to act as spies, so regardless of whether Zhou Yan was willing to be a spy, Mu Yuan would obtain a lot of information about the students of Suzaku Academy and Baihu Academy.

So why not?

Of course, this applies to others. Zhou Yan casually tossed Mu Yuan's business card into the nearest trash can.

champion?

It's obvious that the champions of the past few years have all been Jiu Feng.

Mu Yuan is also pitiful, being born in the same era as Jiu Feng and himself.

3 PM.

The protesters were still blocking the entrance when the armed police began to take action. They first used loudspeakers to tell the crowd to leave, saying that a patient needed to enter the hospital. The crowd, who had been shouting for hours, did not get carried away and instead obediently made way for them. An SUV drove from the end of the street, went straight into the hospital, and stopped at the entrance of the inpatient department.

The rear door opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman with exotic features, wearing jeans and sunglasses, stepped out of the SUV.

Leng Qing, who had been waiting at the door, went to greet them.

"Is this Ms. Li Shuo?"

The super mature and sophisticated Li Shuo glanced at Leng Qing.

"I don't want to waste time on pointless formalities. Please take me to see the patient."

Leng Qing led the super-sophisticated Li Shuo upstairs to the ICU ward of Lin Anru.

Zhou Yan and Song Qing'e were both in the ward. The super-sophisticated Li Shuo didn't even bother to look at Zhou Yan and Song Qing'e, so she walked to Lin Anru's bedside, took off her sunglasses and looked at Lin Anru.

Zhou Yan, who was behind Li Shuo, opened the attribute panel of this mature woman.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Putting aside the question of how she can fight five of herself at once, is this woman also Chi You's granddaughter?

Chi You, how many people did you rape back then? You've already encountered three of Chi You's descendants, haven't you?

"interesting."

Li Shuo pulled off the oxygen mask from Lin Anru's face, then lowered his head, stopping ten centimeters in front of Lin Anru, and opened his mouth.

A giant spider, as big as a fist, crawled out of Li Shuo's mouth.

Li Shuo opened Lin Anru's tightly closed mouth.

As everyone expected, the fist-sized spider fell into Lin Anru's mouth. Despite Lin Anru's weak struggles and tears, the spider crawled out of her mouth.

The ginseng spirit behind Li Shuo immediately hugged Zhou Yan, who was closest to him, and the little blonde loli's body trembled incessantly.

……

Wu Family Taoist Temple, Chu Daoyun's bedroom.

Chu Daoyun, who was watching a TV series, had just taken a sip of water when her expression changed. Then, a scarlet phoenix exuding an ominous aura appeared behind Chu Daoyun. The phoenix flew to Chu Daoyun's shoulder and laughed mockingly.

"They actually dared to defy us."

Chu Daoyun said calmly.

"Then fight back."

……

Red Cross Hospital, ICU ward.

Li Shuo stood by Lin Anru's bedside, with Zhou Yan, Leng Qing, and Song Qing'e behind him nervously watching the great shaman's back.

Having witnessed the terror of Chi You firsthand, Zhou Yan felt increasingly reassured looking at this granddaughter of Chi You. She could probably... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.)

Li Shuo's body trembled, and tiny drops of blood-red plum blossoms began to drip onto the white quilt covering Lin'an.

A few seconds later, Li Shuo turned his head back.

"what!"

Song Qing'e, who was holding Zhou Yan, let out a loud cry and then buried her face in Zhou Yan's body. Zhou Yan and Leng Qing's expressions changed drastically.

Turning back, Li Shuo coughed as blood gushed from all seven orifices.

"Impressive, the person who cast this curse... I... can't afford to mess with them..."

Li Shuo wiped the blood from his face, put on his sunglasses, and left the ICU ward.

The woman looked badly injured, but she didn't appear weak or powerless when she left the ward.

Zhou Yan and Leng Qing watched Li Shuo leave.

After a long while, Leng Qing turned to look at Lin Anru, who had already fainted, and then looked at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan sighed.

"Let me think of a way. I happen to know a pretty powerful one, um, a wizard."

Zhou Yan was going to ask Ying Zhao for help. If Ying Zhao couldn't help, he would ask the white-haired lady from Chaos to try using the "Foolish Chaos" technique.

Zhou Yan pulled Song Qing'e's small hand away and prepared to go to the corridor outside to call Ying Zhao. However, just as he reached the ICU door, Leng Qing's phone rang. Leng Qing took out her phone and answered it.

Chu Daoyun's voice came out.

"Is that Miss Leng Qing from Suzaku Academy?"

Leng Qing asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's me. And you are... Chu Daoyun?"

"Yes, it's me. I heard that one of your students is cursed?"

Leng Qing sensed an unusual heat in Chu Daoyun's tone, but she still spoke.

"Yes, she's a junior of mine."

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I could cure the curse."

Leng Qing gripped her phone tightly, and Zhou Yan, who was about to make a call, stopped.

Leng Qing remained silent for a few seconds before asking again.

What price do you want?

There's no such thing as a free lunch; Leng Qing has remembered this ever since she learned this saying.

"We're all classmates, why should I make any sacrifices? By the way, where are you? I'll come over right now to help you break the curse."

Leng Qing gave the address of the Red Cross Hospital.

"I'm coming right away."

Chu Daoyun hung up the phone.

……

Wu Family Martial Arts Hall, Central Courtyard, Bedroom.

Chu Daoyun went to her wardrobe, changed her clothes, tidied her hair, and sprayed some perfume on herself. After doing all that, Chu Daoyun hummed a song as she went downstairs and got into her driver's car.

The vehicle shook violently before heading to the Red Cross Hospital.

Chu Daoyun was ready. Later, after she rescued Lin Anru, when Zhou Yan knelt before her and cried to thank her, she would definitely hug this lovely child and let him know how gentle and kind she was.

By then, Zhou Yan will surely fall in love with me, right?

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Awakening

When Chu Daoyun arrived at the Red Cross Hospital, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The protesters have dispersed, and the area in front of the hospital is much quieter now.

Chu Daoyun hummed a song as her driver led her to the entrance of the inpatient department.

Leng Qing, who was still waiting at the door, naturally went to Chu Daoyun's seat after Chu Daoyun's car stopped and opened the car door.

Chu Daoyun came down.

Leng Qing asked in confusion.

"Miss Chu, do you really know how to dispel curses?"

Chu Daoyun nodded.

"My auspicious energy can dispel evil spirits and demonic thoughts. When I went to human forbidden zones before, I used auspicious energy to dispel many curses."

Leng Qing stopped asking questions and led Chu Daoyun upstairs to Lin Anru's ICU ward.
