Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1887: Chapter 1887: Magic Apostle (8)

With the handle in Chuzheng’s hand, Elsa indeed behaved much more quietly.

There were no movements from Charles’s side; she probably didn’t tell Charles.

The young lady has grown up and won’t snitch to the parents anymore, how comforting.

[...] Are you crazy?! Look at what you’ve done, is that what a good person should do?

The King’s Account stomped angrily.

Chuzheng ignored the King’s Account, sticking to her ways to the end.

Elsa wasn’t unwilling to snitch; she was worried Chuzheng might reveal the scroll.

She must first find a way to get the Magic Scroll back.

Nina likely pinned that incident on Elsa, so most of her annoyance was directed at Elsa, with less conflict with Chuzheng.

Where Chuzheng sat, aside from class hours, it was often vacant.

No one knew why; they just felt Chuzheng was a bit terrifying.

Some didn’t believe in evil and tried to mess with her.

The result was either making a fool of themselves or being inexplicably blamed and punished by the academy.

In short, anyone who tries to trouble her... absolutely has a bad outcome, it’s disturbingly uncanny.

Over time, fewer people bothered her, but gossip about her spread widely.

Chuzheng didn’t care about these; if she was in a bad mood, she would subtly fix it; otherwise, she wouldn’t bother.

For Chuzheng, it was all about — as long as you don’t hop in front of me, we can have peace.

”Do you all want to go play at the black market?”

”Black market? My father said we shouldn’t go there, it’s dangerous.”

”But I heard someone caught a dragon and wants to find a buyer at the black market. A dragon, have you ever seen a live one?”

Chuzheng rested her chin, hearing this, and slightly turned her gaze.

Dragon?

In the memories of the original owner, dragons in this world had long gone silent, with rumors outside being they moved away.

”Dragon? Really?”

”Weren’t dragons supposed to have moved to the junction of East West Continent? How could anyone catch one?”

”I heard it from my father; it must be right. Do you want to go and broaden your horizons?”

”But...”

”Come on, what’s there to be afraid of, as long as you don’t do anything reckless, nothing will happen.”

Under the persuasion of that classmate, the others soon agreed.

Chuzheng didn’t keep this in mind.

After school, Mu Er waited in the stairwell, raising a hand to wave when he saw her, causing quite a stir around.

Mu Er often sought out Chuzheng, leading to many rumors at the academy.

But given that Chuzheng could now handle Nina and stand up to Elsa, not many dared to mess with her.

Even if someone did trouble her, she’d turn around and find a way to trouble Mu Er, letting the opponent see it clearly, making a group of young admirers grind their teeth in resentment but not daring to take actions against her.

However, everyone knew that Chuzheng truly didn’t like Mu Er.

No!

It wasn’t just dislike; she couldn’t stand him at all, wishing he would disappear right there.

So initially angry that she would seduce Mu Er turned into surprise that she didn’t like Mu Er.

More despairing for them was that Mu Er didn’t care one bit, bluntly approaching her.

”Xue Laiya classmate.” Mu Er’s handsome face showed a sincere smile.

”...”

It’s him again!

Annoying!

You have so many admirers, why are you pestering me!!

Mu Er, very gentlemanly, said warmly: ”Xue Laiya classmate, not sure if I have the honor to invite you to watch a magic show.”

”Not going.” Why would I, a nobody, watch a magic show; would it just upset me?!

”Xue Laiya classmate.” Mu Er pressed his hands together, eyes shimmering with a pleading light: ”Could you give me a chance this time?”

”No time.”

Chuzheng refused outright.

Mu Er seemed deflated, his shoulders drooping down.

Chuzheng intended to leave, but Mu Er perked up again: ”Then, should I escort you home?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

If you keep this up, I’ll end you!!

Nearby watching young admirers suddenly became nervous.

”I feel like she’s about to act... is it just me?”

”No, I feel it too.”

”Then, should we go over and stop Mu Er?” The young admirers, afraid Chuzheng might treat their Mu Er the same way as before, hesitated whether to intervene.

Chuzheng chanted in her heart a few socialist good phrases, spotting Elsa approaching, she suddenly snagged Elsa and prodded her over to Mu Er: ”You’re so idle; send her home then.”

Stop looking for me!

Chuzheng finished and slipped away, leaving a confused group of young admirers and an equally baffled Elsa.

Elsa had approached upon seeing Chuzheng and Mu Er together, planning to tear Chuzheng into pieces in her mind, only to be stuffed to Mu Er suddenly.

-

What does Mu Er even like about the original owner?

Chuzheng thought Mu Er was either blind or had ulterior motives.

Yet the original owner was a nobody, even though she was Charles Family’s stepdaughter, she never had recognition.

Even if Mu Er had ulterior motives, he should have approached Elsa.

So...

Is Mu Er blind?

Understanding these young folks was beyond her.

Chuzheng hopped onto the carriage, signaling the coachman to set off.

At dismissal time, carriages lined up to pick people, jolting leisurely along until reaching the main road.

This world’s time resembles the nineteenth-century Western world without advanced technology.

Of course, with magic present, technology isn’t particularly essential.

Since arriving here, she’d seen only the bustling extravagant wealth districts, wide clean streets, and well-dressed passersby.

However, in the original owner’s memories, there were impoverished neighborhoods struggling to live.

The academy was located in the city’s most bustling area, a haven many yearned to enter; as long as you graduated from it, even without entering the Magic Association, you could do anything and life would be good.

Chuzheng exhaled, hugged her face, boredly watching the fluttering curtains, taking advantage of an empty carriage.

The carriage jostled, seeming to make an abrupt turn, the curtains slightly lifted, letting the outside scene reflect in Chuzheng’s eyes.

On the street, a girl with bare feet sprinted, chasing the carriage ahead.

The carriage intersected with Chuzheng’s carriage, its curtains buttoned tightly, making it hard to see inside.

Just now her carriage urgently turned, clearly to make way for it.

The girl stumbled and fell, trying to stand but failing, helplessly watching the carriage vanish.

”Stop the carriage.”

Chuzheng instructed the coachman to halt, lifting the curtains down and walking to the girl’s side.

The girl cried so much her eyes were swollen, face filled with despair, suddenly overshadowed as she stared blankly up.

On her pale despairing face, a trace of surprise emerged: ”Xue... Xue Laiya classmate...”

Chuzheng helped the girl up, calmly asking: ”What are you chasing?”
