Chapter 554 - 46: If I Can’t Toy With You, I’ll Ruin You
On the other side of the straw hut, there was another person, similarly tossing and turning with insomnia.
Ke Ling was still waiting for the outcome on the other side of the straw hut.
Indeed, just as Yun Sheng had anticipated, she had intentionally told Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling that the room was haunted.
The north-facing, gloomy room where several trainees of the Dark Gold Masters stayed had either gone mad or died, but the actual reason was not hauntings.
Heh, where do ghosts come from in this world? Even if they exist, they’re just fake.
"Nothing but some worldly ignorant newcomers who actually fancy competing with me for the mentor role. The Secret Magic of the Dark Gold Master can only be learned by me alone," Ke Ling was a Holy Mage.
However, very few people knew that before she joined the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, she was also a Beast Language User.
It was just that her talents as a Summoner never progressed, which is why she eventually joined the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.
She used her early experiences as a Beast Language User to train a Fourth Rank Flying Night Weasel.
Every night, once it got late, she would send the Flying Weasel to scare the newcomers.
Newcomers who had just arrived at the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, lacking in cunning, were frightened for a few days, either becoming nervously weak or sleep-deprived.
With such physical conditions, they were fundamentally unable to adapt to the high-intensity training of the Dark Gold Masters, leading to the subsequent madness or death incidents.
"That one called Donghuang Lingling seems easy to deceive, but that one named Yun Sheng appears somewhat difficult to deal with," Ke Ling calculated the time; the Flying Weasel should be almost back by now.
To avoid discovery by the Dark Gold Masters, Ke Ling was always very careful.
Time ticked by second by second, and after a while, a soft noise came from outside the window.
"It should be the Flying Weasel coming back," Ke Ling went out and opened the window.
"Ah!" Ke Ling’s scream shook the entire straw hut.
Her voice woke everyone in the house, except for Donghuang Lingling, who had drunk the tea and was sleeping obliviously.
"What’s going on?" The Dark Gold Master and Yun Sheng hurried out, both looking drowsy.
"A ghost! I just saw a ghost," Ke Ling said, pale, pointing outside at a cluster of trees.
She had thought it was her Flying Weasel returning.
But instead, she saw a blood-drenched female ghost floating among the trees.
She was wearing a white robe, covered in blood.
A cold voice emanated, "Ke Ling, you’ve made me suffer so much."
The Dark Gold Master and Yun Sheng both looked in the direction of the trees but saw nothing.
"Nonsense! Ke Ling, as the senior sister here, you’ve been living here for almost five years. Ghosts or no ghosts, keep this nonsense up, and you’ll be punished with ten days of confinement," the Dark Gold Master said angrily, fiercely warning Ke Ling.
Ke Ling truly had unspeakable grievances, she suspiciously glanced outside, indeed there was nothing.
"Senior sister, it’s deep into the night, you should rest early. The more you walk at night, the more likely you are to encounter ghosts," Yun Sheng chuckled.
After hearing these words, Ke Ling couldn’t help but shudder for no reason.
That night, Ke Ling didn’t dare to sleep at all.
On one hand, she was waiting for her Demon Beast to return, and on the other, she was repeatedly recalling the female ghost she had seen earlier.
Barely enduring until dawn, the Demon Beast did not return.
Ke Ling knew something must have happened, she was lost in wild thoughts and couldn’t even muster the energy to complete her daily meditation routine.
As she stepped out of her room, she just so happened to bump into Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling coming out of theirs.
Both of them seemed to have just finished their meditation, looking refreshed and clear-headed.
This carefree Donghuang Lingling had no idea what had happened last night.
Upon seeing Ke Ling, she cheerfully greeted, "Senior Sister Ke Ling, good morning. Eh, why do you look so pale, your face is the color of vegetables, didn’t you sleep well last night?"
"Hehe, I slept very well, Junior Sisters, did you hear anything last night while sleeping in your room?" Ke Ling forced a smile, her gaze landing menacingly on Yun Sheng’s face.
"All good, except for accidentally killing a mouse that sneaked into our room last night, everything else was fine," Yun Sheng said with a laugh, her dimples making her particularly charming.
"Ah, there was a mouse in the house! How come I didn’t know about it!" Donghuang Lingling exclaimed with disgust.
"Don’t worry, I already took care of it, but I can’t say for sure about the other rooms, right, Senior Sister Ke Ling?" Yun Sheng’s smile was a piercing thorn in Ke Ling’s eyes.
Such audacity from Yun Sheng, daring to kill her demon beast!
Ke Ling forcefully suppressed the rage in her heart.
"I’ll be sure to clean up the room properly, I assure you that no mouse will ever intrude again. Junior Sisters, getting up so early, you must be going for breakfast, right?" Ke Ling realized she had encountered a formidable opponent this time.
No need to say, last night’s ghost incident was certainly related to Yun Sheng.
Unexpectedly, a young girl in her teens could have such cunning wits.
"Yes, my mother always said that eating is the most important thing. Breakfast is very important. Senior Sister, would you like to join us for breakfast?" Donghuang Lingling seemed like a completely different person from yesterday.
There was no longer a need for her to maintain her facade of a cold and aloof beauty; this side of Donghuang Lingling was the real her.
Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were both at crucial stages of their growth; nutrition was important.
"Beyond these thatched cottages is the cafeteria, which has a wide variety of food. You two should go early," Ke Ling continued to play the part of the good Senior Sister.
Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling left.
Ke Ling gritted her teeth, realizing she no longer had the chance to tamper with the room. But there was always another day, and she had plenty of ways to make those two girls leave.
Even after walking a good distance away, Yun Sheng could still feel the malicious glare from Ke Ling.
Yun Sheng sneered disdainfully.
Competing with her was truly seeking death.
Last night, Yun Sheng merely had the Night Charm Queen pretend to be a ghost – a taste of their own medicine.
Unexpectedly, she had discovered some very interesting secrets.
According to the Night Charm Queen, who had gone to play the ghost, Ke Ling blurted out something when she was scared.
It was along the lines of, "Your deaths have nothing to do with me."
It seems the days at the Mainland Magic Elite Camp won’t be dull after all.
Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling left the thatched cottages, with two or three days left before official training started, they decided to familiarize themselves with the facilities of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp first.
The cafeteria was undoubtedly one of the most important parts.
Before they arrived at the Magic Elite Camp, they had already heard that the Elite Camp boasted a variety of delicacies not found elsewhere on the continent.
Because of the commotion caused by the Martial Artist Elite Camp the day before, they had only had some plain tea and simple meals. By now, they were both so hungry their stomachs were stuck to their backs.
