“What can we do? It takes us ten minutes to light a fire, and a lifetime to come to Cloud Mirror Academy on foot, but they can do those things in the blink of an eye.”


  Nobody was convinced.

  “Yes. Those who have spiritual power are better than us in that regard, but we don’t have to count on spiritual power. Look at me.”


  Gu Bailu took out a rune and aimed at Qin Shou. “He’s very tough, isn’t he?”


  Qin Shou panicked. Why are you pointing at me, Miss Gu? What if you infuriate the lord with your praise?

  The lord is clearly stronger than I am.

  “I can make him listen to my words. Watch.”


  Gu Bailu sprinted at Qin Shou and stuck the rune on his forehead.

  Qin Shou looked at Feng Qingtian innocently. My lord, I didn’t mean to touch Miss Gu.

  Her hand didn’t touch his forehead, separated as they were by a piece of paper.

  Feng Qingtian ignored his eyes and stared at his forehead, as if he were pondering how to dig a hole in it without killing him.

  Qin Shou, however, felt his body turn stiff beyond his control.

  “Qin Shou, tell these girls that they’re beautiful and that you like them.”


  No, I don’t want to do that. My lord will feed me to a dog if I do that.

  Qin Shou’s heart resisted, but his body was obedient. He approached the girls, making them blush shyly and lower their heads.

  Gu Bailu secretly sighed. They were finally acting more like humans now.

  “You’re all beautiful. I…… I like you very much.”


  Qin Shou almost slapped himself in the face. That wasn’t what he wanted to say.

  What trick had Miss Gu used?

  Feng Qingtian’s emotions were very complicated.

  Gu Bailu chuckled. “Did you see? We, the garbage, have fans, too. As long as we’re capable, even those who have spiritual power have to listen to us.”


  Feng Qingtian sneered. “Gu Bailu, are you done playing? Do you really think your petty trick is something?”


  He transmitted power into Qin Shou’s body, and Qin Shou immediately felt enlivened.

  Actually, he could’ve avoided Gu Bailu’s attack, but he didn’t dare because his lord wouldn’t allow him to.

  Was there anyone in this world who was worthy of his lord’s attention?

  Although his lord refused to marry Gu Bailu and had always treated Nan Ningxin nicely, he knew that Gu Bailu was important to his lord because she made him feel like a man.

  His lord wouldn’t let other people touch Qin Shou, who was his senior guard, but his lord had just used him as a toy.

  Gu Bailu rolled her eyes. I’m saving lost lambs here. Why are you messing around?

  Gu Bailu smiled in embarrassment. “Hehe. Although I’m not as good as that man, we can still deal with regular guys.”


  The fat girl gritted her teeth and stood up. “Can I really be as awesome as you? I’ve suffered enough humiliation.”


  “Of course. I was bullied for over ten years before this, just like you.”


  “This might really lift us up.”


  “Really? Can this really help us?”


  Gu Bailu was delighted to see the hope in their eyes. It was truly satisfying to be a source of comfort.

  In her moment of delight, a giant hand dragged her out. “You aren’t good enough yet. Let me teach you a good lesson.”
