Chapter 17: Grab Your Hair and Smash Your Head Into the Wall
The fake young miss’s leftover consciousness churned with disgust. Jiang Tea Tea took a step back to face Jiang Yi Cheng and mocked him: “So you do know that your parents sent me to that man with the surname Zhou as a plaything.”
Jiang Yi Cheng’s heart shook. The pain on his face turned into embarrassment and guilt: “Our parents didn’t do it on purpose. They did it for the sake of our family.”
“Now they know they were wrong, and you weren’t hurt by that man with the surname Zhou. You even turned misfortune into a blessing and awakened your supernatural abilities. Let’s just drop this matter. We’re all one family. There’s no need to make things so ugly.”
To him, it really felt like his younger sister had said before. After awakening her supernatural abilities, her confidence had grown, and she seemed like a totally different person now, arrogant and willful, ignoring family ties.
Jiang Tea Tea’s mocking smile deepened: “Jiang Yi Cheng, it’s easy for you to talk when you’re not the one who was hurt.”
When he saw that she would not agree and even talked back to him, his face darkened, and his voice rose in anger: “Jiang Tea Tea, you didn’t actually get hurt. Our parents sent you to that man with the surname Zhou, and you ran away, didn’t you?”
“Dad and Mom raised you for eighteen years. We loved you for eighteen years. Do you really have to act like some ungrateful wolf and tear our relationship apart with no mercy?”
He was anxious. He was very anxious.
Whenever other people refused to do what he said, he got anxious.
Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a rat knows how to dig holes.
If the parents were no good, what good could their son be?
Jiang Tea Tea knew exactly where to stab to hurt the most and drive people mad: “Jiang Yi Cheng, since you’re talking to me about feelings, I might as well tell you. The Police Bureau contacted me and asked if I wanted to forgive your parents.”
“I said no. I will never forgive them. I want to hold them responsible to the very end and make them pay me a huge amount for mental damage.”
“Now you want me, when I welcome His Highness Chong Ming, to ask him to let your parents go? You really are daydreaming. What a joke.”
Jiang Yi Cheng’s face turned scarlet with anger: “You, you, you are really crude…”
“So what if I’m crude?” Jiang Tea Tea stepped closer, cutting him off and not letting him keep talking: “Let me tell you, if you and your younger sister have nothing better to do, stay away from me. You should cherish your time at the academy. If I can send your parents to jail, I can send the two of you in there too.”
Jiang Yi Cheng’s chest rose and fell: “You’re threatening me…”
Smack.
Jiang Tea Tea felt the fake young miss’s remaining consciousness suddenly become joyful. She raised her palm and slapped Jiang Yi Cheng across the face.
Because of that slap, the leftover consciousness of the fake young miss was even happier, like pink bubbles were popping everywhere.
Jiang Yi Cheng’s head was knocked to the side. He stared with wide eyes in disbelief: “Jiang Tea Tea, you…”
Jiang Tea Tea shook her hand and said with disgust: “Your skin is so thick it made my hand hurt.”
“You’ve gone too far, Jiang Tea Tea.” Jiang Yi Cheng snapped. Furious, he raised his hand and swung it toward Jiang Tea Tea’s face.
Jiang Tea Tea lifted her chin and tilted her face up. She did not dodge at all. Spiritual power spread over her hand. As soon as his hand came into her line of sight, he could forget about keeping it.
What she did not expect was that before Jiang Yi Cheng’s hand could swing over, his whole body flew up and then slammed into the wall with a loud bang.
Jiang Tea Tea pulled the spiritual power back from her hand, raised her eyebrows, and looked toward Sui Xuan Chu standing not far away in his blue and black Combat Department training suit, with his hair in a high ponytail and two small red and black horns on his forehead. He shook out his hand and walked straight toward Jiang Yi Cheng.
The wall had a dent in it. Jiang Yi Cheng gritted his teeth against the pain and slowly stood up. When he saw Sui Xuan Chu, his mind cleared, and fear flashed in his eyes: “Junior schoolmate Xuan Chu, I’ve never offended you. What are you doing?”
Sui Xuan Chu was younger than him, taller than him, and had a stronger aura. Faced with Jiang Yi Cheng’s question, he did not say a word. He grabbed Jiang Yi Cheng by the hair and smashed his head into the wall.
Jiang Yi Cheng’s head split open and bled. His brain buzzed. It took him a long time to get up from the ground. One hand clutched his forehead, and the other held on to the wall so he would not fall: “Sui Xuan Chu, junior schoolmate, you’re breaking school rules by attacking someone for no reason.”
Sui Xuan Chu shoved his hands into his pockets: “So what if I break them? So what if I don’t? If you have the guts, go report me. Let’s see if, when the academy investigates, they find what you were just saying to your cheap younger sister.”
When he heard that, Jiang Yi Cheng could not help looking up at the surveillance system around them. The academy’s surveillance cameras covered every corner. If what he had just said to Jiang Tea Tea got exposed, then he and his real younger sister, already walking on thin ice at the academy because of their parents and Chong Ming, would have an even harder time.
He refused to accept it and pressed his hand harder to his forehead. His gaze went past Sui Xuan Chu to Jiang Tea Tea: “Younger sister, think carefully about what I said. Our family’s love for you for over ten years is real. It’s not fake.”
Jiang Tea Tea walked to stand beside Sui Xuan Chu and looked coldly at Jiang Yi Cheng: “I would love to see your family lose everything. How could I possibly care about your fake love?”
“You…”
Jiang Tea Tea said coolly: “If you still don’t leave, then tomorrow when I welcome His Highness Chong Ming, I’ll tell him that you threatened me to beg him to let your parents go.”
“My dear good older brother, in that case, do you think His Highness Chong Ming will let your parents go, or will he get angry and add more charges on them?”
Jiang Yi Cheng was so angry he almost ground his molars to dust. Covering his bleeding forehead, he gave Jiang Tea Tea a fierce glare, then turned and left.
Jiang Tea Tea glanced at Sui Xuan Chu. She was just about to open her mouth to thank him, but he acted so full of himself and walked right past her into the dorm building.
Jiang Tea Tea: “…”
Her maternal grandmother had been right. Some species were born wild.
Dragons were one. Phoenixes were another. White tigers and vermilion birds were all wild.
Only demons like them, who had to go through countless hardships in cultivation to take human form, stayed as low key as grandsons before they reached the Great Demon Stage.
Jiang Tea Tea also went into the dorm building. Sui Xuan Chu, who had gone in before her, was waiting for the elevator. Just as she arrived, the elevator doors opened, and she walked straight in without stopping.
The fake young miss’s dorm was on the eighteenth floor, room 1818, a lucky number that felt like the eighteen levels of hell.
But then Jiang Tea Tea watched Sui Xuan Chu go up to the eighteenth floor with her and walk even faster than her to room 1818, open the door, and go in, leaving the door open for her.
Jiang Tea Tea reached up and tapped her own forehead, trying hard to dig through the fake young miss’s memories, only to find that the fake young miss had no idea who her roommate was.
From the time the true young lady came back at age fifteen, the Jiang family had stopped giving the fake young miss a single coin. She had to go work outside on her own. After she got into the Royal Military Imperial Academy, when she was not studying, she was always going out early and coming back late. For half a year, she had never once run into her roommate.
As for why they arranged male and female students to live in the same dorm, it was mainly because the dragon clan’s younglings had a low birth rate. The idea was that if male and female dragons lived mixed together, feelings would grow over time, and it would raise the birth rate.
Jiang Tea Tea entered the dorm. It was a double mortal world dorm. Aside from a shared small living room, each person had their own bedroom, bathroom, and study desk.
She went into her own room, closed the door, and locked it. Once the door was shut, the roommates had nothing to do with each other. The privacy was excellent.
The only downside was that the floor was too high. As a Tree Spirit, Jiang Tea Tea wanted to sink her roots into the soil and absorb the essence of Mother Earth, but that was a bit difficult.
It was fine though. If she could not absorb the essence of Mother Earth, she could absorb the Essence of Sun and Moon instead. She opened a small crack in the window, then fell back onto the bed. Her legs turned into branches that stretched through the small gap in the window. Done.
Jiang Tea Tea slept deeply until she was jolted awake by the ringing from her light brain wrist terminal. She opened her eyes, changed the branches back into legs, and lifted her hand with the light brain wrist terminal on it. She saw that the call was from Huang Da Zhuang.
Yawning, she tapped the answer button. Before she could say anything, Huang Da Zhuang’s hysterical roar blasted out of the light brain wrist terminal: “Jiang Tea Tea, where are you? Look at the time. Why are you still not at the school gate to welcome my heartthrob idol, our idol, His Highness Chong Ming?”
