The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness

Chapter 13: The Senior’s Strength

Looking at the serious-faced muscular brothers, after a brief silence, Mu En pulled out a fruit knife from behind, his expression fierce as he shouted:

“Don’t come any closer, I’m very strong…”

Before he could finish his sentence.

A crisp sound echoed.

The muscle-bound men silently drew their two-meter-long swords.

The blades glinted coldly.

Pointed at Mu En.

“……”

Mu En glanced at their two-meter swords, then at his own twenty-centimeter dagger.

He forced a smile.

“Don’t come any closer, I’m very weak. Do you believe I could commit seppuku in front of you in a minute?”

“……”

The muscular men remained silent, appearing to be at a loss for words, but only Mu En, noticing the hint of shyness in their eyes, realized that this group of innocent tough guys simply had never spoken to a girl before.

But even with their innocence, they couldn’t just let Mu En go like that.

The muscular men closed in step by step, and Mu En could only retreat step by step.

Mu En didn’t want to use Shadow Step to escape directly, but Shadow Step wasn’t true teleportation; it couldn’t really ignore obstacles. So, facing this encirclement, it was indeed very difficult to break free.

Moreover, Mu En had used Shadow Step in the previous martial arts class. If he were recognized by Ariel at this moment, and she guessed his identity…

Considering the flirtatious words Ariel had just said to him, Mu En didn’t want to imagine how many pieces she would slice him into out of embarrassment and anger afterward.

In any case, it wouldn’t be a small number.

“What to do… what to do… If I get caught and taken back, all my efforts will be in vain.” Cold sweat trickled down Mu En’s forehead, and before he knew it, he had backed against the cold wall, reaching a point of no retreat.

With so many muscular men running upstairs, the defenses below would only become more vulnerable.

This meant that the brave ones would rush over even faster.

At that time…

Dying socially in front of the entire school, that kind of thing, no way.

“Mu En, junior~”

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.

Mu En froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

A surge of joy like finding hope in despair welled up in his chest.

“Senior?”

Mu En turned to look around,

“Where are you?”

“Don’t move, okay?”

A delicate voice echoed at his ear.

Just as the muscular man felt puzzled by Mu En’s sudden self-talk, a shadow resembling a snake suddenly slithered out from the darkness formed by the wall and the ground.

A long whip.

The whip swayed flexibly, as if it had a mind of its own, and suddenly struck towards the muscular man closest to Mu En.

The muscular man reacted quickly, raising his knife to block, but the seemingly soft whip, upon contact with the blade, seemed to unleash an immense force, visibly bending the large knife in the muscular man’s hand.

Under this tremendous force, the muscular man let out a scream and was unceremoniously sent flying.

With the surrounding formation now compromised, the whip quickly retracted, wrapping around Mu En’s waist and swiftly dragging him away through the gap.

As his body was pulled by the whip, Mu En instinctively felt a twinge of panic from losing his balance, but before he could struggle, he felt himself embraced by a warm hold.

A familiar faint fragrance filled his nostrils, and the rich sensation from behind made his heart flutter uncontrollably.

In the dark corner, Mu En felt a pair of soft hands wrap around his waist, a delicate chin gently resting on his shoulder, and warm breath brushing against his ear, causing a tingling sensation.

“Junior, you look so beautiful.”

Mu En heard the senior’s little devil-like voice echoing in his ear, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit lightheaded.

“Isn’t this all because of you, Senior?” Mu En said with a bitter smile.

“I didn’t want to become like this.”

“Really? But I see you’re quite happy, standing so prominently in everyone’s sight. Are you planning to first gather some popularity and then debut as the academy’s idol?”

Senior Anna chuckled softly: “I think it’s very likely. Just look at your current popularity; those younger male classmates seem like they’ve been given a shot of adrenaline when they see you. If you debut now, who knows, your popularity might even surpass that of the student council president in no time.”

“I would never become an idol!”

Mu En covered his face and shouted:

“I’m a pure 100% muscular man, okay!”

“But if you wore a little skirt now, you’d probably look even better than me.”

“……” Feeling numb, he didn’t want to talk.

“Hehe, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”

Anna patted Mu En’s head and laughed:

“While that big guy is distracted, let’s get going.”

“Okay, okay, let’s hurry.”

Mu En nodded repeatedly, even feeling a bit teary-eyed.

After being tormented for so long, finally able to…

“Boom!”

Not even the first tear had the chance to fall.

A familiar figure was suddenly hurled over, crashing rapidly against the wall beside Mu En.

“Cough, cough…”

Amidst the swirling dust, Ariel struggled to sit up amidst the rubble, then let out a huge mouthful of blood.

“Damn it, even if there’s a forbidden technique to temporarily boost combat power, facing an opponent two levels higher is still a bit too much, isn’t it?”

In Mu En’s dazed gaze, Ariel turned her head and saw him, first filled with joy, then noticed his senior sister hugging him, stunned for a moment before erupting in anger:

“Who are you? Why are you faster than me!”

“……”

Mu En’s mouth twitched, unsure of what to say, when suddenly his senior sister released her grip, transforming into an ethereal shadow, heading towards the front.

The High Priest had arrived.

“Oh, another woman?”

The High Priest, gripping a bloodied large knife, looked at the approaching Anna, a sinister expression appearing on his face.

On his chest, there was a massive wound that seemed to be scorched by flames, yet he was completely oblivious, as if to him, it was as trivial as losing a hair.

Though he had no hair at all.

“Indeed, women are nothing but trouble!”

The High Priest, enraged and ferocious, raised his large knife again, slashing!

The blade gleamed coldly, stirring up a fierce wind; the High Priest had no thoughts of mercy, as if he were merely chopping fish on a cutting board, slicing it cleanly in two.

Under this terrifying blade light, Anna appeared as fragile as paper.

But suddenly, Anna twisted her waist, as if her entire body had no bones, her delicate form bending into a posture that even professional dancers would envy, skillfully dodging the High Priest’s blade.

In the next moment, before the High Priest could swing his second strike, Anna lightly stepped on the empty blade that had just missed, leaping up with the grace of a black cat, her figure tracing a beautiful arc in the air, flipping over, her finger pointing at the High Priest’s head.

On her charming face, a rare coldness emerged.

From noble mtl dot com

“Explode.”

Her ruby lips parted slightly.

The magic, bypassing the incantation, was instantly constructed at her fingertips.

A blazing light erupted in an instant, accompanied by a terrifying heat imbued with destructive aura, rushing towards the unprepared High Priest.

Even though the power was significantly reduced due to the omission of the incantation, at such close range, the explosive magic known for its power could not be blocked by flesh and blood.

Thus.

Flesh and blood splattered.

Even though the High Priest twisted his head with all his might at the last moment to evade a fatal blow, the intense heat and flames still instantly consumed large portions of his flesh. His shoulder was completely blown apart, and his right hand, which held the knife, drooped down like a branch broken by a mischievous child, with only a bit of blood and flesh remaining.
