“Phew!” After she confirmed that the Carmine Python was dead, Gu Lingzhi let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. Her whole body was in pain.

Shock filled the eyes of all those who watched the scene.

They did not think that Gu Lingzhi would be able to kill the Carmine Python.

More accurately, they did not think that Gu Lingzhi would be able to survive that Carmine Python’s assault.

In the distance, a few people were flying towards them. Some students had called a teacher to come.

Jiang Yan was one of the invigilators. After the students entered Red Leaf Hill, he had been keeping guard on the outer perimeter to deal with any incidents that might occur.

After he heard that a first-order peak grade Carmine Python had appeared in the area for first-order middle grade beasts and attacked a student, he had never expected that the student to survive.

To his disbelief, not only did that student not die, she had even managed to kill the Carmine Python that had attacked her!

After a short period of astonishment, Jiang San quickly walked towards Gu Lingzhi to check on her injuries.

It must be known that a student who can jump several ranks to kill a Carmine Python is extremely rare, even if it was by relying on Attack Scrolls. The Royal School would definitely not allow anything to happen to such a talented student.

“Where have you been injured?” Jiang San gave a healing medicine to Gu Lingzhi and asked in a low voice. As Gu Lingzhi’s complexion looked very bad, he did not dare to touch her, for fear of accidentally that he would touch where she was injured and cause it to worsen.

“I was struck by its tail. There are several fractures on my body... including a few broken ribs...” Gu Lingzhi spoke intermittently as she described her situation to Jiang San and caused him to inhale sharply.

“You have been injured heavily, stop your assessment immediately and go to the infirmary for treatment,” Jiang San spoke solemnly.

Gu Lingzhi nodded her head. The pain in her body kept her from fainting, but there was no way she would be able to continue her assessment.

However...

“Teacher, could you help me collect the body of the Carmine Python?”

Many parts of the Carmine Python can be used for alchemy.

Jiang San’s mouth curled upwards when he heard that. Even though Gu Lingzhi was so heavily injured, she did not forget to collect the body of the Carmine Python. He carefully supported her to the side of the corpse and watched as she collected it into her Storage Ring. Just as Jiang San thought of bringing a stretcher and gather a few teachers to help carry Gu Lingzhi back to the school, he saw her body suddenly go soft. He subconsciously tightened his hold on her and managed to prevent her from falling to the floor.

She only fainted after collecting the body of the Carmine Python, despite suffering such serious injuries. Just how short of money was Gu Lingzhi, to treasure this corpse so much?

Gu Lingzhi remained unconscious until late afternoon, when the assessment had ended.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a half-asleep Wen Qing.

“Ah, you’re awake?” Wen Qing’s eyes twitched. He took a cup of green liquid from the bedside table and brought it in front of Gu Lingzhi.

“Since you’re awake, then drink it. You should quickly recover lest those few old fellows become worried.”

“Thank you,” Gu Lingzhi accepted the cup. She could tell that the green liquid was a type of healing medicine and downed it in huge gulps.

When Gu Lingzhi finished drinking, she realised that Wen Qing was looking at her with a weird expression. “Teacher, is there something wrong?” Gu Lingzhi said as she quietly shrank back. She had always had a sense of fear towards this teacher who looked like he always lacked sleep.

“You...” Wen Qing suddenly leaned down above Gu Lingzhi in a very oppressive manner, his eyes gleamed as he swept over her body, “Take off your clothes.”

Take off her clothes?

“No!” Gu Lingzhi immediately refused without thinking. Just looking at Wen Qing’s expression already made her extremely vigilant.

“Teacher, I would like to return to my dormitory,” Gu Lingzhi said as she tried to get up from the sickbed in the infirmary.

Wen Qing frowned with a disapproving expression. He used a little bit of force and pushed Gu Lingzhi back onto the sickbed.

“Your injuries are very serious. You must remain in the infirmary for observation for one day. If you don’t want to miss your Alchemy exam, you should listen to me.”

Gu Lingzhi bit her lips, she was trying to quickly come up with a way to escape from here. Wen Qing’s actions caused her to remember some unpleasant memories from her previous life.

“Teacher, my injuries are no longer obstructing me, I do not need further observation.” Wen Qing’s eyes lifted, “I’m the teacher. Whether or not you need further observation is for me to decide.”

He urged her impatiently, “Quickly take off your clothes, I still have other things that I’m busy with.”

Gu Lingzhi shook her head forcefully and even disregarded her injuries. She stared at Wen Qing, “Teacher, I am the big mistress of the Gu Clan. If something were to happen to me, my father would definitely not let it go!”

For the first time, she was glad to be the big mistress of the Gu Clan.

Wen Qing looked at Gu Lingzhi, as though he was pondering whether Gu Lingzhi truly had the power to make his life difficult.

Gu Lingzhi was extremely nervous and stared at every action of Wen Qing, she was prepared to scream loudly if he were to make any suspicious moves. Although there were usually very few people coming to the infirmary, it was the final assessment today and there were bound to be some students who received serious injuries and had to stay in the infirmary for treatment.

Just as Gu Lingzhi’s nervousness reached an extreme as she deliberated the chances of her suddenly making a move and escaping successfully, Wen Qing moved.

When Wen Qing made a move, he immediately suppressed Gu Lingzhi until she was completely unable to resist. Holding down her arms, Wen Qing simply pat her body lightly and all her strength disappeared. Gu Lingzhi opened her mouth and realised in horror that she could not make even a single sound.

“See, you could have listened obediently, but you just had to make me take action.” In full control of Gu Lingzhi, Wen Qing smiled and pinched her cheeks. Under Gu Lingzhi’s horrified gaze, one hand stretched towards her waist, picked her belt and pulled it open, while the other hand went behind Gu Lingzhi’s back and pulled off her outer coat.

Gu Lingzhi was left with only her white underclothes on.

“Ha... Ha...” Gu Lingzhi made some unintelligible sounds. She was horrified and in despair as she looked at Wen Qing’s actions.

Why did she have to go through this horrifying experience even after her rebirth? Why?

Tears full of unwillingness and resentment rolled down her cheeks as she glared hatefully at Wen Qing.

If she survived past today, she would not let him off.

“Not bad, it looks like you are quite energetic and have recovered quite well.”
