Chapter 41: That Was Terrifying!

Su Bao reacted quickly, kicking Fu Lang out of the way.

Before he could even process what was happening, Su Bao’s kick sent him tumbling to the side. Since the cafeteria exit was on a slope, he rolled uncontrollably a couple of times…

“Boom—”

The flower pot fell from the rooftop, shattering into pieces right where Fu Lang had been standing.

The deafening crash startled everyone around, leaving them frozen in shock.

Fu Lang lay face down on the ground, utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

He shakily got to his feet, his legs still trembling.

He had just…

Almost died!!

He had been mere inches from death. If Su Bao hadn’t kicked him, that flower pot would have smashed directly onto his head!

Su Bao’s sharp eyes darted toward the rooftop.

There, she saw a woman standing. The woman wore a white dress, stained with splotches of blood, the fabric gently swaying in the breeze.

Her face was delicate but pale and slightly swollen.

When their eyes met, the woman flinched at first, but soon…

The fear in her eyes was quickly replaced by despair and rage, her pupils filled with madness and hatred!

She gave Su Bao a mocking smile, as if to say she wouldn’t stop.

Even if you’re stronger than me, even if you want to protect Fu Lang…

I won’t give up!

Su Bao glanced at her, then dashed toward the nearby staircase with lightning speed!

Mo Yan saw this and immediately followed.

Su Bao, despite her small frame, unleashed an incredible burst of strength!

Mo Yan, who always ranked first in the military’s physical training, admired by all, had never been outpaced by anyone.

Yet Su Bao…

Was faster than him!

And as she sprinted, her breathing didn’t even change!

By the time they reached the rooftop, all they saw was the edge of a white dress disappearing.

The woman… no, to be precise, the female ghost…

Was no longer there!

She knew she couldn’t face Su Bao head-on, so she had never intended to fight her directly.

The ghost was waiting for the right moment…

She knew Su Bao couldn’t stay by Fu Lang’s side all the time. Even if she could for a short while, it wouldn’t be forever!

So she was waiting for an opportunity, and when it came, she would kill Fu Lang!

But simply killing him wouldn’t be enough to quench her hatred. If she could, she would torture him to death!

By the time Fu Lang reached the rooftop, his legs had completely given out.

He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Sitting there, utterly drained, it was clear that the sudden near-death experience had almost shattered his mental defenses.

Fu Lang sat on the ground, clutching his head, visibly distressed, and began to sob quietly.

“Goddamn it! What the hell is going on?!”

“I haven’t done anything wrong, so why is this happening to me?”

Sure, he was a bit of a playboy, but did that really warrant such punishment?

“If I did something wrong, I’d accept it! But if they want me dead, at least let me know why!”

The grown man held his head, crying for a good while.
