School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Yeah!" Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Xiao Han has the capital. He's handsome and rich. Most importantly, he's talented. A student from the Finance Department who can win a prize at a party? Even made it to the college evening gala, it really surprised me."

A few people walked while heading towards the dormitories.

Xiao Han didn't go straight back to his dorm, but went to the Piano Room to practice piano for a while. There were a lot of things bothering him, so he used the piano to suppress the turmoil inside. He let his mind wander in the vastness of the world within the universe.

The elegant piano music always managed to touch people's hearts. And that elegance also attracted someone.

At the doorway, a figure stood gracefully, tall and with a very sensual figure. She wore a miniskirt, and a shiny necklace hung around her neck. On her head was a black hat, making her look charming but not flirtatious. She stood at the doorway, listening to Xiao Han's soft playing that seemed to tell the story of his heart.

"What's up with this silly boy now?" Lan Yudie snorted lightly.

At that moment, the piano music abruptly stopped.

Xiao Han turned his head to look at the figure at the door: "Who?"

"It's me!" Lan Yudie walked in slowly, her long, shapely legs stepping through the doorway. The black miniskirt covered her buttocks and barely concealed the roots of her thighs. The tempting skirt couldn't help but lead to wild thoughts.

"Teacher Lan?" Xiao Han was startled.

"What are you playing all by yourself so late at night?" Lan Yudie snorted lightly and said, "And playing so sadly, are you missing your girlfriend?"

"I..." Xiao Han was slightly taken aback and said awkwardly, "That's not the case." Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Then why are you sitting here all alone?" asked Lan Yudie, frowning.

"It's easier for me to find inspiration when I'm alone!" Xiao Han laughed and said, "You know, Friday is coming up, but my program is still not fully prepared. What if I don't make it to the top three? What should I do then?"

"It's normal if you don't make it!" Lan Yudie smiled and then said, "Think about it. There are so many talented students at Shuimu University. You're just a student from the Finance Department; how could you compete with those art students for the rankings?"

"Uh..." Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. But I've always been someone who doesn't give up easily. The more impossible the challenge seems, the more I want to try it."

"Hehe..." Lan Yudie chuckled, then said, "Men should have this kind of unyielding spirit. Even if you lose, there's nothing to fear, right?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Han nodded.

"By the way, are you free this weekend?" Lan Yudie asked.

"What's up?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"I need you to do me a favor!" Lan Yudie chuckled mischievously.

"What favor?" Xiao Han asked curiously, wondering what kind of matter would make Lan Yudie actively seek his help. A mere student, what could he help Teacher Lan with? Surely she wouldn't be asking him for money, right?

"Just tell me if you'll help or not?" Lan Yudie pursed her lips and said, "Why so hesitant for a big guy like you?"

"I'll help!" Xiao Han nodded. After all, he had already touched every part of that girl's body, and nearly made her his own. Just for that alone, he shouldn't refuse to help. Even if it was about lending money, he would agree without hesitation.

"On Saturday night, we have a high school reunion," Lan Yudie smiled and then said, "You'll accompany me."

"Huh?" Xiao Han was startled and quickly said, "Why should I go to your high school reunion?"

"Of course, there's a purpose." Lan Yudie nodded and then said, "I want you to go as my boyfriend, understand?"

"No way?" Xiao Han looked at Lan Yudie in surprise and then said, "You... you don't have a..."

"Have what?" Lan Yudie's brows raised as she glared at Xiao Han and snapped, "Are you trying to say I have a boyfriend?"

"Qin Jun?" Xiao Han asked, baffled as he looked at Lan Yudie.

"Go away!" Lan Yudie glared at Xiao Han and said, "How many times have I told you, Qin Jun and I are just friends. Why won't you believe me? And the last meal we had was just a social interaction between friends."

"Alright, alright, I believe you," Xiao Han hurriedly nodded.

Lan Yudie's voice was loud, and Xiao Han was afraid it would disturb the other teachers and students, so he quickly gave in.

"Do you believe me now?" Lan Yudie asked again.

"Yes, I believe you wholeheartedly!" Xiao Han said with a wry smile.

"So..." Lan Yudie immediately returned to a flirtatious look, then smilingly looked at Xiao Han and said, "So... will you help me on Saturday night?"

"Teacher Lan, may I ask a question?" Xiao Han inquired.

"Go ahead!" Lan Yudie pursed her lips, seemingly holding a grudge because Xiao Han hadn't answered her question.

"I was just wondering, I'm just a poor student, having me as your date won't add any prestige," Xiao Han said awkwardly, "You have someone like Qin Jun by your side, a great resource. Why don't you make good use of him? If you bring Qin Jun along, you're sure to make a splash in your high school circle, and it would satisfy your vanity like never before, don't you think?"

"You!" Lan Yudie glared at Xiao Han, gritting her teeth, "Do you think I'm just a vain, materialistic, gold-digging woman?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean!" Xiao Han quickly shook his head.

"Then what do you mean?" Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han coldly and said, "If you don't explain yourself clearly today, Xiao Han, our business won't be finished!"

As she spoke, Lan Yudie had walked up to Xiao Han. Towering over him, she looked down from above. Xiao Han, sitting on the stool, could only look up to see Lan Yudie's imposing chest. The tempting twin peaks emitted bursts of youthful fragrance. It was intoxicating, alluring…

Gulp…

Xiao Han swallowed hard.

Lan Yudie's expression was icy, as if she would have liked nothing more than to devour Xiao Han.

"I just feel…" Xiao Han said sheepishly, "given that it's a high school reunion, everyone is bound to compare with each other. But if you bring me, I obviously can't be compared—I'm just a poor student, I…"

"Shut up!" Lan Yudie snorted coldly, "I am not the woman you describe. Although I do have vanity and the desire to compare, I don't want to do it like this. I just don't want to be talked down to by my high school peers for not having a boyfriend. Understand?"

"Got it!" Xiao Han quickly nodded.

"Although I lack vanity and don't want to compete, you still need to clean yourself up for me on Saturday night!" Lan Yudie huffed and then said, "Don't embarrass me in front of classmates I haven't seen in years, got it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Han immediately nodded.

It looked as though it wasn't Lan Yudie who was asking for a favor, but Xiao Han.

"That's more like it." Lan Yudie huffed lightly, "To show my gratitude, on Saturday night you may hold my hand, wrap your arm around my waist, and even kiss me. But after those three things, absolutely nothing else, understood?"

"Understood!" Xiao Han could only nod.

"Alright, head back and get some rest," said Lan Yudie with a giggle before turning to leave.

Watching Lan Yudie's retreating figure, Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief. Facing her, he truly felt astonished. Who asked him to take advantage of her? Who let him see all over her body, touch everywhere, and nearly "go all the way"? For this, Xiao Han couldn't forgive himself.

In the Piano Room, the piano sounds once again filled the air.

Standing in the corridor, Lan Yudie listened to the elegant piano music, where the previous sorrow seemed to have faded.

Lan Yudie pursed her lips, murmured to herself, "You little brat, do you know why I insist on you pretending to be my boyfriend? It's because I like you!"

After saying that, Lan Yudie stamped her foot and left, seemingly frustrated at the situation.

......

Zhang Dakai felt extremely annoyed this time; he had not expected to be so easily defeated. Moreover, he had brought several capable underlings, but his men turned out to be useless and were swiftly beaten to a pulp. This irked Zhang Dakai greatly.

After returning to his base.

"Boss, we can't just let this go, can we?" the bearded man inquired.

"Right!" Another man quickly agreed, "This is the first time we've been bullied like this on our own turf. It's bad enough to be humiliated, but to actually pay them money, too. This is just too shameful for us."

"What can we do?" Zhang Dakai asked.

Indeed, when outmatched, what can be done? So many unable to defeat a few poor students—if word of this got out, it would be embarrassing. Zhang Dakai had controlled this part of University Town for many years, harshly dealing with anyone who eyed his turf. And now, to have someone claim compensation on his own ground.

"Boss, in my opinion, we must reclaim our turf," the bearded man spoke up.

"Yeah, gather the brothers to teach those few a lesson!" the man beside him said through clenched teeth, "We can't lose face like this."

Zhang Dakai was silent for a moment.

"Would that restore our reputation?" Zhang Dakai glanced at the two men, then said, "I, the 'Cold-faced Snake', needing a bunch of brothers to teach a few freshmen a lesson. Isn't that too embarrassing? How could I still operate in University Town if word gets out?"

"Er…" The bearded man lowered his head, realizing the embarrassment. Those were just freshmen after all—if they mobilize so many people, it wouldn't only reflect poorly on them; it would also draw more attention to those students. Eventually, if the students rode that wave of fame and decided to form a group to confront him, that would spell trouble. The bearded man hastily added, "So what now?

Are we supposed to swallow this bitter pill?"
