Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Ruanruan’s childlike quality is spoiled by people

Under the Golden Whip’s restraint, Cheng Xuelan was still straining to free herself.

Dissatisfied with her resistance, Qin Ruan frowned, her eyes ablaze with a dangerous, cold and intimidating light.

She spoke curtly and coldly, "I have no time to waste with you. The less you struggle, the less you suffer."

Violence and cruelty raged in Cheng Xuelan’s blood-filled eyes, her body emanating murderous intent.

With a grim face, the twin fires of her red eyes flared, "I have no grudge against you. Let me go, or you all will die!"

Qin Ruan didn’t appreciate others threatening her life.

She reach out, grabbed Cheng Xuelan’s hair and pulled her in close, the two women stared at each other, separated by inches.

The thick Evil Qi surrounding the other woman caused a slight ripple in Qin Ruan’s heart, and she sneered, "Well, let’s see who dares to aim for my life."

Her life is not something anyone can easily take away.

Seeing that Cheng Xuelan had nothing to say, Qin Ruan prepared to leave with her. Six faces then emerged from the surface of the lake.

"Stop!"

"Release Xuelan!"

"Xuelan is innocent, you can’t hurt her!"

The six faces from the lake were white as the fallen, their features twisted and menacing, emanating eerie vibes.

Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked down from above at the six lost souls in the water, "Oh? Well, tell me how she is innocent?"

"She was protecting us!"

"There is a Tree Demon at the school!"

"We have been implanted with wood spirits, and we will be captured if we leave the water!"

"Xuelan didn’t harm us!"

Qin Ruan stared contemplatively at the six Puppets, speaking unhurriedly, "Are you the six persons who had an accident after school started?"

One of the boys, whose handsome face was unnaturally pale, nodded.

Wei Linchen interrupted, "Qin Ruan, let’s take them all back first, you look off color."

The day was already overcast, and now the wind had started to blow.

He was worried that Qin Ruan’s body would not hold up.

Qin Ruan nodded, "Alright."

However, Cheng Xuelan refused to cooperate.

She turned her head and shouted to the six lost souls emerging from the water behind her, "You don’t have to worry about me. Sink back down!"

After she yelled, she tried to break free from the Golden Whip’s restraint.

But the more she struggled, the tighter the Golden Whip tied her up.

Faced with such uncooperativeness, Qin Ruan grabbed the handle of the Whip, and pulled Cheng Xuelan in front of her again.

"The Huangjue Tree has escaped, the countless resentful spirits hanging on the tree have been sent to the Netherworld. Now what I need to deal with is the issues with you and these six Puppets. If you chatter and whine, I will beat you into submission, if you don’t believe me, just try it!"

Cheng Xuelan’s eyes bulged in shock and disbelief, "That Tree Demon escaped?"

"Yes, it escaped!" Qin Ruan angrily retorted.

Her mind was filled with worry for Lingfeng and Lan An, and she held a deep grudge against the Huangjue Tree.

"Impossible!"

Cheng Xuelan suspiciously gazed at Qin Ruan’s strikingly beautiful face, then shook her head in denial.

The Huangjue Tree had been at Odi School for many years, how could it just up and leave.

She must be trying to deceive her!

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

Qin Ruan let go of Cheng Xuelan, and from her fingertip emerged a faint golden light.

The golden light darted towards Cheng Xuelan’s face. By the time she perceived danger and tried to dodge, it was already too late. She fainted.

Unceremoniously, Qin Ruan threw the lightweight Puppet onto the boat and turned to look at the six puppets floating on the surface of the water.

"Will you come up on your own or do I need to personally catch you?"

To avoid being tormented, these six new Puppets chose to cooperate.

Director Liu had been anxiously waiting by the lake ever since Qin Ruan and the others stepped into the woods.

He breathed a sigh of relief watching them appear on the lake.

The three of them were doing who knows what in the boat, particularly the pregnant Qin Ruan, who was waving her hands around in the air as though she was dancing.

Grinding his teeth, director Liu pondered over the reliability of the people Wei Xishi had invited.

Soon enough, Qin Ruan, Wei Linchen, and Lin Chao returned to the shore on the boat.

Director Liu rushed over, asking eagerly, "You’re finally back. Well, did you find Cheng Xuelan?"

Qin Ruan was holding the handle of the Golden Whip, pulling along seven ghosts behind her as she walked past Director Liu.

Director Liu, without his Heavenly Eye open, couldn’t see the seven ghosts passing him by.

Wei Linchen walked over to Director Liu and they whispered amongst themselves, trailing behind Qin Ruan.

The group soon returned to their lodgings.

When they returned, Director Liu didn’t come with them.

Qin Ruan tossed the seven puppets into the room, then turned to Wei Linchen and the hidden guards from the Huo Family, "Didn’t that Tang Seng follow us?"

Wei Linchen looked confused, "Tang Seng?"

Qin Ruan sighed, "I mean the dean, he loves to preach."

After meeting Director Liu once, she knew he was a chatterbox who loved to spout grand principles.

At her words, Wei Linchen burst out laughing.

Qin Ruan, who always appeared reserved and steady, and was a bit cold-hearted, also had such childlike moments.

Such a girl should be happy.

Her childishness is a sign of being loved and pampered.

However, Qin Ruan’s childishness did not manifest as immaturity. She was not inexperienced or straightforwardly obedient. Instead, she possessed a sophisticated way of handling things.

This suggested that Qin Ruan’s small whims were perhaps doted out of her by someone else.

Laughing, Wei Linchen said, "Actually, Director Liu is not bad. He does speak like he’s chanting sutras all the time. He had to leave due to something else. We should be able to handle the rest, right?"

Things were yet to conclude, he could probably guess the causes and consequences of the whole event but wasn’t sure whether Qin Ruan would resolve it all.

Qin Ruan nodded in acknowledgment and turned around to walk into the room.

Kang Dong and Teacher Lu Xianglan were no longer in the room.

However, a handsome-looking youth was standing inside.

"Boss, you’re finally here!"

Liuliu’s eyes lit up with admiration on seeing Qin Ruan. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before, whose beauty was not sharp, but rather comforting.

Qin Ruan’s beauty had a breathtaking charm.

She exuded a refined and graceful aura, similar to the soft and clean radiance of the moon in the sky. She also had a transcendent calmness to her demeanor.

Soon, Liuliu was distracted by the entrance of Wei Linchen.

He wailed as he charged towards Wei Linchen.

Under everyone’s gaze, Liuliu fell to his knees and began wailing.

"Boss, I thought I was going to die, you have no idea how scared I was!"

"There is a perverted old puppet in the school’s archive room, it even touched my butt..."

"Boss, I risked my life to bring you all the documents, I was so close, so close to never seeing you again!"

"Boo hoo hoo...Boss, my weak heart needs your comfort!"

Liuliu’s wailing stunned everyone.

Except for the person being hugged by him, Wei Linchen.

Wei Linchen rubbed at his temples, looking down at Liuliu’s sorrowful and frightened expression.

Liuliu was crying pitifully, but his eyes were absolutely dry, no teardrop in sight after all the sobbing.

Wei Linchen sighed slightly, his voice heavy with resignation, "Tell me, how much do you want your salary to be increased by this time?"

Liuliu quickly answered, "Nine thousand eight!"

Wei Linchen laughed incredulously, "Are you robbing me?"
