"Don't be happy about it, hurry up and go to class."
"I'm here to remind you not to forget about my business," Feng Qi Shi said, then turned and left.
Mu An Xiao watched Feng Qi Shi's retreating back and sighed again.
At the classroom door, as the wolf demon approached, Hu Yuan, within its body, suddenly called out, "Stop."
The wolf demon paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"He's here," Hu Yuan said, trembling.
The wolf demon, sensing Hu Yuan's fear, patted its chest and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"That girl is terrifying," Hu Yuan said, his voice quivering.
"You chose to believe me, so don't be scared," the wolf demon conveyed mentally.
Hu Yuan nodded but said nothing.
The wolf demon removed its hand from its chest and, the moment it stepped into the classroom, its gaze met that of a girl with a ponytail and a rather delicate appearance.
"Hu Yuan, your courage has grown quite a bit."
The wolf demon looked at the ponytail girl, blinked, and stepped forward to ask, "Who are you?"
"Oh, did you get so dazed from being hospitalized that your brain went silly?" the ponytail girl said, her voice quite gruff.
"Can you move away from my desk?" the wolf demon said assertively.
The ponytail girl narrowed her eyes, picked up the wolf demon's homework notebook, and tore it in half right in front of it, saying, "I've only been gone for one morning, and you've become this arrogant. It seems the lessons I've given you aren't enough. You sickly boy."
The wolf demon calmly glanced at the notebook torn in half by the ponytail girl and said, "Say that again if you dare."
"Sickly boy, I only say things once. You'd better not make things difficult for me," the ponytail girl said, glaring at the classmates who were looking over.
The moment the classmates felt the ponytail girl's gaze, they shifted their attention and went back to their own business.
"Old lady," the wolf demon repeated, chuckling softly, "your name is 'Old Lady' all day? That name, like your appearance, is truly special."
"Sickly boy," the ponytail girl roared, raising her hand and throwing the notebook to the ground.
The wolf demon looked down at the notebook on the floor, sighed, and said, "Acting like this will make you age faster. Pay attention."
"Sickly boy, you're talking a lot today," the ponytail girl roared again, raising her fist and swinging it towards the wolf demon.
At the same time, Hu Yuan, within, closed his eyes.
The wolf demon calmly watched the approaching fist, dodged back, and grabbed her wrist, saying, "A small, thin arm like yours, trying to hit me with this move? It's truly... laughable."
"You..." the ponytail girl was stunned.
"Can we begin?" the wolf demon asked mentally.
Hearing this, Hu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the stunned ponytail girl outside his body, saying, "Let's begin. This girl is too terrifying."
The wolf demon's lips curved. It leaned forward and looked directly at the ponytail girl.
The moment the ponytail girl met the wolf demon's gaze, her face instantly turned red.
Concurrently, as soon as Mu An Xiao saw the wolf demon's casting motion, he rushed forward and grabbed the wolf demon's arm.
The wolf demon's eyes widened. It turned its head to look at Mu An Xiao and said mentally, "Stop messing around."
"I won't let you control her," Mu An Xiao stated firmly.
"That's not up to you," the wolf demon said, releasing its grip.
The ponytail girl screamed, looking in the direction the wolf demon was staring, and ran away.
Mu An Xiao watched the ponytail girl's retreating figure and said, "You've already instilled fear in her about everything. She won't recover anytime soon. Should you stop now?"
"My objective hasn't been achieved yet," Hu Yuan appeared before Mu An Xiao.
Mu An Xiao looked at Hu Yuan and sighed, asking, "Many people bullied you since you were young. Why do you want to take revenge on her specifically?"
"She was the one who led the bullying against me since childhood," Hu Yuan said.
"You grew up together?" Mu An Xiao asked in surprise.
Hu Yuan lowered his head.
Mu An Xiao glanced at Hu Yuan, then at the wolf demon, and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
The wolf demon was startled. It glanced at Hu Yuan and asked mentally, "Do you agree?"
Mu An Xiao looked at Hu Yuan, who had raised his head, and said, "As long as it's not excessive, I won't object. But if you cross the line, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Thank you," Hu Yuan smiled faintly.
Mu An Xiao looked at Hu Yuan's expression and said, "But you have to promise to go see those two."
"This..." Hu Yuan hesitated.
The wolf demon looked at them both, puzzled, and asked, "Hu Yuan, are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing the wolf demon's question, Hu Yuan quickly replied, "Okay," and disappeared.
The wolf demon's eyes widened.
Mu An Xiao glanced at the classmates who were once again focusing their attention and said, "You shouldn't say it too loudly."
The wolf demon looked at Mu An Xiao and stepped back to sit at its desk.
The classmates shifted their gaze away.
On the other side, the ponytail girl still looked ahead with terror, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Girl Number Two and the others gathered around the ponytail girl's desk. Girl Number Two asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
The ponytail girl glanced at Girl Number Two and said, "Go back to your seats. Don't bother with me."
"Boss..."
"Get lost," the ponytail girl said firmly.
They exchanged glances and then walked away.
Mu An Xiao came to the ponytail girl's desk and looked down at her terrified expression, muttering, "She looks so proper, yet she's a bully. You really can't judge a book by its cover."
"Do you admire her?"
"Why are you here again?" Mu An Xiao turned his head to ask Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I just bought another sofa and came to tell you." He pointed at the ponytail girl and said, "This girl isn't really bad at heart."
"Not bad, yet she bullies people," Mu An Xiao shot Zhang Yan a sideways glance.
Zhang Yan smiled again, "Don't you admire her?"
"Who admires her? You'd better not interfere in my affairs."
"I don't think your eyes show hatred for her. You..."
"If you say another word, I'll take back your money," Mu An Xiao interrupted, pointing at Zhang Yan's face.
Zhang Yan chuckled foolishly, "Many friendships are broken because of money. I don't want our friendship... to be like that."
"If you don't want that, then shut up. Go buy what you need to buy, and don't tell me about it," Mu An Xiao said with a fake smile, "alright?"
"I'm leaving," Zhang Yan said, turned around, and disappeared.
Mu An Xiao helplessly rubbed his forehead, then looked at the ponytail girl, who was afraid of everything, and sighed. He then looked at her book and casually read her name, "Ma Yan. That's her name." Mu An Xiao reached out and touched her ponytail. "Tsk, this person really loves her own surname."
