“If junior sister Bai is unwilling now, I won’t force her.”
“A good-for-nothing. If the First Prince fancies her, he can ask Bai Si Cheng to help later. I’m sure the Bai family would be happy to oblige…”
Bai Sheng Yi watched the retreating backs of the three, her gaze suddenly turning cold.
Very well, very well. So they were all targeting her! It would be best if she didn’t get a chance, otherwise, she would certainly settle this score!
However, it seemed that heaven itself wanted Bai Sheng Yi to ‘settle the score’ that day. After walking for only half an hour, Bai Sheng Yi ran into Jiang Ruo Mei and the other two again.
First, Jin Ling Yun and Jiang Ye shot out from the depths of the dense forest, throwing spells behind them as they ran.
Then came Jiang Ruo Mei, her face swollen like a pig’s head, her clothes torn to shreds. She screamed, “Senior Brother Jin, Brother Jiang, save me! There are still fire wasps on my head!”
But Jin Ling Yun and Jiang Ye were struggling to save themselves and couldn’t help at all.
Bai Sheng Yi’s eyes lit up.
Wasn’t this a golden opportunity? Haha.
She exclaimed loudly, “Oh dear, Jiang Ruo Mei, why are you in such a terrible state! But don’t be afraid, I’ll help you!”
If one listened closely, Bai Sheng Yi’s voice was trembling slightly.
She moved swiftly, pouncing forward and grabbing Jiang Ruo Mei. Her green spiritual energy sliced through Jiang Ruo Mei’s hair, and a large lock of black hair was instantly severed.
“Don’t be scared, the fire wasps are dead. Look.”
Bai Sheng Yi smiled, holding the severed hair out to Jiang Ruo Mei. The corpses of the fire wasps dangled from the ends, swaying.
“Ah!”
Jiang Ruo Mei only saw her own black, smooth, severed hair!
She was going mad!
“Bai Sheng Yi! You’ve gone too far! Why did you cut off my hair! Are you getting revenge on me?” Jiang Ruo Mei’s eyes turned red as she spoke, her cat-like eyes glistening with tears, looking utterly pathetic.
“How can you think of me like that?” Bai Sheng Yi’s voice trembled.
Weak, wronged, and helpless.
“You’ve helped me so much and always thought of me. I just wanted to help you get rid of the fire wasps, to prevent you from getting hurt!” Bai Sheng Yi’s reasoning was perfectly sound.
Jiang Ruo Mei didn’t believe her. “You did it on purpose!” She knew this woman was no good!
“If thinking that way makes fellow disciple Jiang feel any better, then by all means, think that way. I’m going to help Senior Brother Jin and the others.”
Bai Sheng Yi dropped these words and flashed into the combat zone of Jin Ling Yun and Jiang Ye.
“Thank you, God, my father. I’ll never curse you again,” Bai Sheng Yi thought to herself. So many fire wasps! Enough for her to deal with these two scoundrels!
She enveloped her body with her spiritual sense, nullifying the attacks of the fire wasps. A blast of spiritual energy struck Jin Ling Yun’s side: “Senior Brother Jin, move aside quickly!”
Jin Ling Yun saw Bai Sheng Yi’s movement and only then realized that a swarm of fire wasps had gathered around him. He quickly dodged.
As luck would have it, this dodge caused Bai Sheng Yi’s spiritual energy to sever his belt.
Bai Sheng Yi said in a flustered tone, “Senior Brother Jin, did I injure you?”
Jin Ling Yun looked at his loosely hanging clothes, his face immediately darkened. However, Bai Sheng Yi hadn’t actually done anything wrong, so he swallowed his reprimand.
“I’m fine. But how did you know the location of the fire wasps?” Jin Ling Yun asked, confused.
“I could hear them… Ah!” Bai Sheng Yi explained for a moment, then tripped on a stone in front of her.
Her expression was so natural that Jin Ling Yun, thinking she had been blind for many years, found it unsurvivable that her hearing might be sharper.
“What are you doing!” Jin Ling Yun blinked, and saw Bai Sheng Yi’s spiritual energy turn into sharp blades and slash towards him again. He hurriedly retreated.
“Ah!” Jin Ling Yun was stung by the fire wasps behind him! His face rapidly swelled.
Bai Sheng Yi said aggrievedly, “Senior Brother Jin, why are you running! There are fire wasps coming up behind you, don’t you know? It caused my hand to get stung too!”
Bai Sheng Yi revealed the hand that had just been stung.
Jin Ling Yun was so angry his face swelled even more!
This was completely different!
Fire wasps also had ranks. The one that stung him was a second-tier venomous bee, its venom so potent that his face immediately swelled. The one that stung Bai Sheng Yi was likely not even a first-tier, only causing a small bump!
But Bai Sheng Yi had indeed been trying to help him, and he himself hadn’t noticed.
Jin Ling Yun had no way to express his frustration, and he didn’t want to present a pig’s head face to the beauty. He then sent Bai Sheng Yi towards Jiang Ye, “I can handle this side myself. Go and help Jiang Ye!”
Bai Sheng Yi couldn’t have wished for more and followed Jin Ling Yun’s words to Jiang Ye.
Thus, in the time that followed, Jiang Ye was “accidentally” stung on the mouth, “forced” to fall to the ground, and his head was scraped by sharp stones…
One didn’t know if Jin Ling Yun and the other two had stumbled upon the nest of the fire wasps, but waves of fire wasps kept appearing after being killed, until Bai Si Cheng arrived with the rest of his teammates, and they were finally liberated from the encirclement of the fire wasps.
Once all the fire wasps were eliminated, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sheng Yi, are you alright?” Bai Si Cheng saw his sister and, after a moment’s hesitation, stepped forward to express his concern. He had been a little surprised when he saw Bai Sheng Yi; it was too much of a coincidence.
Bai Sheng Yi shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Of course you’re fine! But senior brother Jin and brother Jiang have been terribly tormented by you!” Jiang Ruo Mei ran over to complain, “Brother Si Cheng, look, she even deliberately cut off a section of my hair. She’s so wicked, sob sob…”
Yu Shen glanced at Jiang Ruo Mei’s hair and clicked his tongue. “It’s a really neat cut.”
“Boohoo!” Jiang Ruo Mei cried even harder, feeling more wronged.
“Bai Sheng Yi, shouldn’t you apologize to Ruo Mei, Senior Brother Jin, and Senior Brother Jiang?” The male student who had previously felt Bai Sheng Yi was too guarded, named Du Zhong, couldn’t help but feel indignant for Jiang Ruo Mei seeing her pitiful state.
Bai Si Cheng was caught between Bai Sheng Yi and his companions, feeling conflicted.
Bai Sheng Yi took out the external wound ointment that Qin Si had given her before leaving. After slowly applying it, she opened her mouth with a half-smile.
“How ridiculous. I worked so hard to kill so many fire wasps for you, saving each of you at least once. And that’s not even worth as much as a woman standing by the side doing nothing, saying a few words and crying?”
“Jiang Ruo Mei, do you dare to explain things more clearly?” Bai Sheng Yi said loudly, “Why did I cut your hair? Wasn’t it because you yourself said there were fire wasps on your head! I did that to save your life!”
“Or perhaps, you’d rather be stung to death by the fire wasps than lose a bit of hair?”
Bai Sheng Yi’s series of questions left everyone speechless.
Especially Jin Ling Yun and Jiang Ye, who felt the most uncomfortable. This discomfort was directed towards Jiang Ruo Mei.
