Chapter 557: Chapter 362: Then Kill (2)

Wang Yu forced a smile. "Ming Yue, you must be joking, heh, heh. You’re so young, how could you have a husband? If you’re not ready to accept me now, don’t reject me outright. Just give me some time, okay? Tell me what you don’t like about me, and I’ll change!"

"WHOA!"

The crowd erupted!

In this patriarchal society, it took immense courage to say such words! Especially for someone like Wang Yu, who had always been a big shot at Nia Academy, with countless girls fawning over him.

Handsome looks, an extravagant lifestyle, formidable strength... Even though Wang Yu had only displayed the power of a Demon Swordsman, it was more than enough to make countless young maidens’ hearts flutter!

’Why put yourself through this?’

In the crowd, many pretty young women clenched their fists, their eyes welling with tears as they stared at Wang Yu’s tall, straight back, lamenting in their hearts.

At the same time, even more people found it unbelievable. The campus’s number one beauty, Song Mingyue, whose background had always been a mystery, had actually appeared with another of Nia Academy’s top beauties, Ye Wen Ni—and they were both with the same man!

Furthermore, she had openly declared that man was her husband. In that case... what was Ye Wen Ni’s relationship to him?

’They must be siblings, right?’ Almost every guy in the crowd instinctively thought so. ’If Ye Wen Ni were also intimately involved with him, that would just be too devastating!’

The girls, however, held no such illusions. The love in both Ye Wen Ni’s and Song Mingyue’s eyes as they looked at the man was so obvious that even a fool could see it. Anyone who couldn’t see it... was just playing dumb!

Because of their long-awaited reunion, Song Mingyue had been in a brilliant mood, which was why she had spoken to Wang Yu so pleasantly. But seeing him act like a relentless pest, her mood soured. She recalled all the things he had done to her before. If not for her own formidable strength, she feared...

At that thought, Song Mingyue’s expression suddenly turned cold. She looked at Wang Yu icily. "You think... I’m good in some way? I’ll change! Wang Yu, I hope you remember how you got that injury. Stop acting innocent and playing the victim in front of everyone. I’m giving you a way out; I suggest you give yourself one too!" Song Mingyue turned leisurely, glanced back over her shoulder, and said, "Goodbye... oh, I mean, good riddance!"

"S-Stop!"

Wang Yu roared in a frenzy, "Song Mingyue, you explain yourself! I... How am I acting innocent and playing the victim? If you don’t make things clear today... I-I’m not done with you!"

At this point, many in the crowd of onlookers began to speak up for Wang Yu.

"So what if she’s the campus beauty? Does that give her the right to spout nonsense?" a chubby, homely girl said with disdain.

"Pah! And she’s supposed to be the academy’s number one beauty? Slandering people like that!" This came from a young girl who had a crush on Wang Yu.

"Sigh, she already broke his leg once. So violent... Tsk, tsk. I can’t imagine what kind of abuse a guy would suffer if he married her. I wouldn’t dare take a woman like that, no matter how beautiful she is!" This was from some guy suffering from a case of sour grapes.

The crowd was a mix of whispers and loud accusations, all aimed directly at Song Mingyue!

There’s some truth to the saying, "To be envied is to be exceptional." It was precisely because of Song Mingyue’s looks—the very definition of a femme fatale—that both men and women felt a sense of inferiority in her presence. Now that they had a chance to tear her down, how could they possibly let it pass?

The number of people who would kick someone when they’re down has always been roughly equal to the number who would praise them at their peak, and the two groups are often surprisingly similar.

Song Mingyue faltered for a fraction of a second but didn’t stop. She continued on, saying coolly, "Besides my man, no one can order me around. Wang Yu, I won’t expose what you’ve done because, to me, you’re a nobody. Also, let me give you a warning: don’t think you’re untouchable just because you have two Sword Emperor Level bodyguards. Your family can’t withstand any real storms. Don’t go looking for trouble."

Song Mingyue’s casual words were like a sudden tsunami crashing over an already turbulent sea, stunning everyone into silence. The way they looked at Wang Yu changed dramatically!

Sword Emperor!

Everyone understood the meaning behind those two words. The question was... how was that possible?

It was too bizarre. It seemed as if countless impossible things had all converged on this one day, making these elite students of Nia Academy, who had come from all over the world, feel like none of it was real.

It was too absurd!

A student with two experts of the Sword Emperor Realm for bodyguards? Was... was this still the Nia Academy they knew? But looking at Wang Yu’s ashen face and his complete lack of a rebuttal, they had no choice but to believe it.

Wang Yu looked as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head. A chill ran through him as if he’d been plunged into a frozen cavern. The infatuated adoration in his eyes when he looked at Song Mingyue was gone, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.

"Who are you?"

By now, Song Mingyue had reached Ling Xiao’s side. She affectionately looped her arm through his, pressing her full bosom against his arm.

At this, another collective sigh rippled through the crowd.

’That’s... such an outrageous flaunt!’

"Who I am isn’t important. I have no interest in you whatsoever! Besides, I’m his woman. From now on, if you want to cause trouble, take it up with him."

Song Mingyue said this with her eyes lowered and in an indifferent tone, yet there was a hint of playfulness in her words.
