"This is more like it." Hu Liena's face was full of smiles, feeling extremely pleased in her heart.
For some reason, Zhao Youyue felt terrible inside, as if something was blocking her chest.
Ever since Jiang Chen arrived, her gaze had been fixed on him. Seeing Hu Liena flirting and bantering with Jiang Chen, her heart ached in waves.
Hu Liena's beauty and charm made her feel shocked. She hadn't expected that in this academy, there would be a girl even more outstanding than her.
Especially those provocative, demonstrative glances Hu Liena shot her way from time to time, which made Zhao Youyue extremely uncomfortable.
"No wonder the master hasn't paid any attention to me these past two months; it turns out he has a pretty girlfriend." Zhao Youyue's eyes stung, tears starting to well up.
Because of her special feelings toward Jiang Chen, she still walked over.
"Youyue, long time no see." Seeing Zhao Youyue approach, Jiang Chen greeted her.
"Little Chen, won't you introduce me?" Hu Liena's hand slid to Jiang Chen's waist again, making goosebumps rise all over him.
"This is my friend from the concentration camp, named Zhao Youyue."
"Youyue, this is my friend, named Hu Liena."
"She... is your girlfriend?" Zhao Youyue mustered her courage and asked, even though doing so might invite her master's punishment, because her heart was truly hurting too much.
"No, she's not. She's just a pretty good friend of mine." Jiang Chen hurriedly replied. How could he possibly admit that Hu Liena was his girlfriend?
Zhao Youyue's eyes suddenly lit up, her face full of surprise as she quickly stepped closer to Jiang Chen.
"Master, it's been two months. Yueyue missed you so much." Zhao Youyue grabbed the corner of Jiang Chen's clothes with both hands, her little face full of grievance, tears glistening, making anyone who saw her feel heartache.
Jiang Chen's mind exploded with a boom; he was completely stunned. What was this little girl pulling now? How could she be so bold?
"Could it be that this little girl also has feelings for me..." A terrifying thought popped into Jiang Chen's mind.
But before he could think further, a sharp pain jolted him awake. Hu Liena had viciously pinched his waist.
Jiang Chen exerted force and immediately flicked Hu Liena's hand away.
Hu Liena glared at Jiang Chen with murderous eyes and snarled, "Little Chen, don't you owe me an explanation? 'Master'? Be honest, tell me just how debauched your life was in that concentration camp!"
"Senior Sister, she's just a comrade who fought side by side with me in the concentration camp." Jiang Chen quickly explained, but he didn't notice that he had called her "Senior Sister."
A flash of delight crossed Zhao Youyue's face, and she immediately had more guesses about the relationship between Jiang Chen and Hu Liena.
She directly took hold of Jiang Chen's arm and said pitifully, "Master, have you abandoned Yueyue? Yueyue will be yours for the rest of her life."
Jiang Chen felt like he was going crazy. Was Zhao Youyue having a mental breakdown today?
"Go wait up ahead. That's an order!"
Though Zhao Youyue looked extremely aggrieved, she couldn't disobey Jiang Chen's command. She had no choice but to walk back to the front, turning her head every few steps.
"Heh, what a grand 'master' attitude, ordering a maid around like that. Just how many bad things have you done behind my back that I don't know about, Jiang Chen!" Hu Liena asked coldly.
"Senior Sister, she's just a little girl who idolizes me. Her mind isn't quite right, so she always calls me master."
"Really?"
"Really."
Jiang Chen felt it was necessary to explain clearly; otherwise, these two girls might end up fighting each other bloody in the future.
Since he couldn't acknowledge either one, he would distance himself from both.
At that moment, Teacher Yang stood up and led the few students in front over.
"Nana, why are you still here? Shouldn't you have gone to report to the fourth-year class by now?" Teacher Yang asked.
"Teacher Yang, I'll go right away."
"Mm, good. Then I'll take these new students of mine first." With that, she led Zhao Youyue and the others away.
Hu Liena leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and hissed viciously, "You'd better not let me find out you have any improper relationship with that girl, or I'll cut off that thing you use to do bad deeds!"
Jiang Chen's buttocks instinctively clenched; Hu Liena's threat was truly ruthless.
After saying that, Hu Liena turned and left, leaving Jiang Chen standing there in a daze.
"It seems I need to give Zhao Youyue a few orders." He decided in his heart; otherwise, if she kept acting recklessly, it would definitely cause big trouble.
Seeing that Teacher Yang had already gone far, he quickly chased after her.
This year's elite class freshmen numbered only four. Besides Jiang Chen, the other three were all among the former Five Heavenly Kings from the concentration camp.
The concentration camp training happened every year and in different locations. Hu Liena was from three batches before Jiang Chen; there were two batches ahead of him who had come out of the concentration camp and were now in the third-year elite class.
That's why Teacher Yang had said earlier that although Jiang Chen's talent was good, wanting to be class president was still a bit insufficient.
After all, in her class, there were plenty of students at levels 38 and 39. If Jiang Chen really became class president, how could he command respect?
After Teacher Yang led Jiang Chen and the others to collect their uniforms and textbooks, she brought them to the dormitory.
"Zhao Youyue, you need to behave in the dormitory and try not to provoke those senior sisters, understand?" Teacher Yang kindly reminded her.
Zhao Youyue's pretty face paled. She had obviously heard some terrifying rumors, vicious senior sisters bullying weak junior sisters...
"Teacher, if Zhao Youyue gets bullied by others, won't you intervene?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
Teacher Yang sighed and said, "There are all kinds of personalities in the dormitory; bullying always exists. How can a teacher watch over everything all the time? As long as they're new and not strong enough, most of them have to suffer a bit at first."
Although Zhao Youyue was only at level 35 right now, Jiang Chen wasn't worried. As a zombie, did she need to fear being bullied by others?
The ones who should be afraid were the others.
"Youyue, don't hold back." Jiang Chen instructed her.
Zhao Youyue nodded, recalling the abilities Jiang Chen had given her, and suddenly felt confident.
Worst case, she could just poison them all, who was afraid of whom?
...
Not long after, Jiang Chen and the others arrived at the boys' dormitory.
"The advice the teacher gave you is the same: behave in the dormitory. After enduring a year or two, you'll come out on top. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask the seniors. Classes start tomorrow."
After Teacher Yang left, the remaining two turned their gazes toward Jiang Chen.
These two were Kuai Dao Wan Tianqi and Xi Niu Hongwu. Back in the concentration camp, both had greatly respected Jiang Chen.
Now that they were in this place, they instinctively wanted to rely on him.
"Jiang Chen, do you have confidence against those seniors?" Wan Tianqi looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
Jiang Chen saw through their thoughts at a glance and smiled. "If anyone dares provoke me, they'll have only one outcome: wish they were dead!"
Wan Tianqi's eyes lit up brightly. He quickly said, "Brother Chen, from now on, I'll follow your lead. Please don't disdain me."
The Wan family was a major clan in Martial Soul City, but yesterday, they had received a gag order prohibiting any disclosure of Jiang Chen's information.
In Wan Tianqi's view, Jiang Chen must be some hidden big shot worth currying favor with.
"Brother Chen, I'll follow you too." Hongwu's muffled voice sounded.
