Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 59 : . Jealousy

Arrogant!

This was the only thought of everyone present, but upon seeing Ye Tao lying outside the arena, they all felt that this person had the right to be so arrogant.

"This girl... has she improved too quickly in these three years?" Xiao Yu said with a bitter smile.

Beside her, Instructor Ruo Lin slowly recovered from her shock. Looking at the girl's back in the arena, even now, she still found it hard to believe that this student, who had missed three years of academy education, had actually defeated the top student from the Profound Rank class, and with just one punch?

At this moment in the arena, Xiao Han glanced at Ye Tao, who was powerless to fight again at the edge of the plaza, before turning her head towards the judges' stand.

Meeting Xiao Han's calm gaze, the judge suddenly felt as if he had been stared at by some primordial beast, a chill running up his spine.

However, that feeling was fleeting. The judge exhaled, feeling that the girl before him was somewhat strange.

"Yellow Rank Class Two, Xiao Han wins!"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Han calmly turned and left the arena, returning to her original position.

As soon as she returned, she received a look from Xiao Yan as if he was seeing something extremely disgusting.

Xiao Yan had indeed been irritated by Xiao Han's words earlier, irritated to the point of wanting to vomit. This person was truly shameless, actually confessing to Xun'er in public.

Indeed, all homosexuals are sick!

Ignoring Xiao Yan's gaze, Xiao Han sat back in her original position. As soon as she sat down, Gu Xun'er clung to her like a boneless creature.

Xiao Han raised her hand to wrap around Gu Xun'er's waist to prevent her from falling.

Gu Xun'er leaned close to Xiao Han's ear, her breath like orchids: "Senior Sister is jealous?"

Due to Xiao Han's recent battle, and her arrogant words, most people now had their eyes on them. Seeing Gu Xun'er half-lying on Xiao Han in such a girlish manner, they couldn't help but reveal envious expressions.

They didn't dare to be jealous anymore; Ye Tao was a good example.

Xiao Han's earlier display was intended to make an example and intimidate those who had improper thoughts about Xun'er. Now, seeing that most people no longer dared to show such obvious hostile gazes, she was slightly more satisfied.

Hearing Gu Xun'er's voice, she slightly pressed her lips together, not speaking.

Seeing that she might not get a response from her Senior Sister, Gu Xun'er wasn't surprised, just slightly disappointed.

Just as she was about to move away from Xiao Han's body, she suddenly heard Xiao Han's low voice.

"Mm, I'm jealous."

Gu Xun'er raised her head in surprise, looking at Xiao Han who was staring straight ahead, watching as the other's ears turned crimson.

Xiao Han had always known that she was a very uninteresting person. Even in her previous life when she was blindly in love with Shen Ye, she often heard Shen Ye complain that she didn't understand humor, like a wooden block. When she learned of Shen Ye's betrayal, she even thought for a while, was it because she was too uninteresting that Shen Ye had a change of heart?

Now she wouldn't think like that anymore. She had realized what kind of person Shen Ye was. Even if she had been humorous and romantic, Shen Ye would probably still have abandoned her for wealth and status, turning to that Luo Shao Huai instead.

But when facing Gu Xun'er, seeing that fleeting disappointment on her face, she couldn't help but think of these things again.

Was she... a bit too uninteresting?

Since the person she liked wanted to hear it, what was wrong with frankly expressing her true inner thoughts?

So, that's why she said it.

Yes, she was jealous.

Expressing herself so frankly for the first time, Xiao Han was undoubtedly nervous and shy. She didn't even dare to look at Gu Xun'er's reaction.

Then, she heard Gu Xun'er burst into laughter, leaning over and hugging her neck: "Senior Sister, you're so cute."

Xiao Han lightly coughed, not saying anything more.

After another match on the field, it was Gu Xun'er's turn.

"Yellow Rank Class Two's Gu Xun'er, versus Profound Rank Class One's Fang Zhi."

Upon hearing the judge's words, everyone present turned their gaze to the girl who was like a blue lotus.

Gu Xun'er chuckled lightly, letting go of Xiao Han, straightening her clothes, and said to Xiao Han: "Senior Sister, watch me."

Fang Zhi was a two-star Dou Great Master. Logically, Gu Xun'er should be able to defeat him very easily, but she said to watch her...

Xiao Han looked at the mischievous girl, instinctively feeling that she was going to do something remarkable.

After speaking with Xiao Han, she lightly stepped onto the stage.

Upon hearing that his opponent was actually Gu Xun'er, who had become the first goddess of the outer court in just a few days since arriving at the academy, Fang Zhi was very excited. When he heard the judge's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Yesterday, Gu Xun'er had defeated a one-star Dou Great Master without giving them a chance to fight back. He knew that her strength was probably much higher than his own, so he didn't hope to defeat Gu Xun'er. He only hoped to hold out for a while under the goddess's hand, to leave a good impression on her.

As expected, seeing that this Fang Zhi had a good attitude and no malice, Gu Xun'er didn't knock him down with one punch like Xiao Han had. She still gave him face by exchanging more than ten moves with him before leisurely sending him off the stage with a palm strike.

Anyone with eyes could see that Gu Xun'er had held back. For a moment, they felt some envy for this Fang Zhi.

After knocking Fang Zhi off the stage, Gu Xun'er stood on the stage with a smile, looking at the crowd below, and said: "Xiao Han is my girlfriend. If anyone doesn't accept it."

"Xun'er will beat you until you do."

As these words fell, the audience below instantly fell into a dead silence, followed by an uproar.

Bai Shan tightly locked his brows, his expression carrying a hint of gloom, forcibly destroying his original handsome aura. This girl on the stage had only been at the school for three or four days, but from the first moment he saw her, he had developed feelings of liking.

Xiao Han was indeed very beautiful, not at all inferior compared to Gu Xun'er, but her aura was too strong. No man would like to pursue a woman with a stronger aura than himself, unless he was the type who was keen on conquest.

He had originally thought that with his appearance, strength, and connections in the outer court, winning over Gu Xun'er would be easy. But who knew that this beautiful girl, like a blue lotus, was actually together with that Xiao Han.

Even after the other had declared ownership in front of the entire outer court, she would immediately follow suit.

Xiao Yan also found it unbelievable. Looking at the girl on the stage, he felt his eyes were about to split.

She should have been, she should have been his possession!

It's all because of Xiao Han, all because of that bitch Xiao Han!

Xiao Yan was never a broad-minded person to begin with, even less so than Bai Shan. While Bai Shan was also angry, he quickly adjusted his expression. Xiao Yan, however, was so angry that his features were somewhat distorted.

Under everyone's gaze, seeing Xiao Yan's behavior, many people couldn't help but move back a bit.

They say this Xiao Yan is Xiao Han's twin brother, how can the difference be so great?

Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Yan, unable to help but reveal a trace of disgust, then turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

It was fortunate that Xiao Yan's attention was now completely taken by Gu Xun'er on the stage, and he didn't notice the disgust on Xiao Yu's face. Otherwise, with his temperament, he might have retaliated against this nominal cousin regardless of the consequences.

After saying these words on the stage, Gu Xun'er turned her gaze to Xiao Han below, just in time to meet Xiao Han's eyes.

Across thousands of people, the two suddenly smiled at each other.

After Xiao Han and Gu Xun'er's appearances, there weren't many highlights in the subsequent matches. Therefore, after watching a few more matches, Xiao Han, Gu Xun'er, and others were the first to leave the noisy plaza.

"Tomorrow should be the finals," Gu Xun'er said, holding Xiao Han's hand.

The two strolled in the somewhat empty academy, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Previously, when the two of them walked alone in the academy, they always attracted a lot of gazes, mostly admiration for Gu Xun'er and jealousy towards Xiao Han. But after today's competition, when walking on the road again, no one dared to show those negative expressions towards Xiao Han anymore.

This world is just like this, the strong are respected. If you don't accept it, you can only endure.

"Mm," Xiao Han responded.

Gu Xun'er kicked a pebble at her feet far away, then looked back towards the direction of the plaza and said, "I just didn't expect that Cousin Xiao Mei would also break through to Dou Great Master, and even win her match. It looks like her chances of entering the inner court this year are quite high."

Xiao Han didn't remember whether Xiao Mei had entered the inner court in the original story, but it wasn't surprising that she could enter the inner court in this life. After all, she had an inner court senior, a disciple of the Eight Great Families' Hun clan, pursuing her.

Although the Hun clan's techniques and battle skills weren't suitable for Xiao Mei, and given Xiao Mei's pride, she definitely wouldn't be willing to casually accept things from Hun Jin before officially establishing a relationship with her. But no matter what, Hun Jin was a Dou Master, and a Dou Master born in a great family from the Central Plains at that. Her knowledge and understanding of cultivation far surpassed Xiao Mei's. Even casual guidance could benefit Xiao Mei for a lifetime.

As for Xiao Yu...

Logically, with Xiao Yu's current strength, she could also make a push for the inner court. But unfortunately, her love interest was an outer court instructor. It wasn't easy for inner court disciples to return to the outer court, and Xiao Yu didn't want to be too far from Ruo Lin, so she had no intention of entering the inner court at all.

Ruo Lin knew this, of course. Although Xiao Yu was doing it for her, Ruo Lin still couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. It's worth noting that the difference between the inner and outer courts was like heaven and earth. If Xiao Yu could enter the inner court, her cultivation speed would definitely be several times faster than in the outer court.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Han and Gu Xun'er returned to their room. Ever since Gu Xun'er's first night raid, her own room had been unused, as she had been living in Xiao Han's room.

They were in a romantic relationship after all, so what was wrong with living together?

"Fallen Heart Flame?"

Lying in Xiao Han's arms, Gu Xun'er changed her position, lazily repeating.

"Mm," Xiao Han nodded. "It should be in the inner court."

"So is this why Senior Sister insisted that I apply to Jia Nan Academy back then?" Gu Xun'er asked.

Xiao Han thought for a moment and said, "More or less."

"More or less?" Gu Xun'er was somewhat surprised, looking up at Xiao Han. "Besides this, are there any other reasons?"

Also because Jia Nan Academy has many plot points.

But this was definitely not something she could just say out loud. Xiao Han just smiled faintly and said, "Because the academy is more suitable for your growth at this stage."

Gu Xun'er's nose wrinkled slightly, instinctively feeling that Xiao Han might be placating her, but she didn't ask further. She yawned delicately, snuggling again in Xiao Han's embrace, and said, "Let's rest early. We still have the competition tomorrow."

Xiao Han smiled indulgently: "Alright."
