“That brat, how dare he ignore the authority of the referee?” The hook-nosed elder snorted coldly as he looked at the unconscious Lager lying on the ground.
“Kid, I’ve got my eye on you.
Just wait for me to disqualify you from the competition!”
“Cough…” In Mo Li’s calculations, he still had the strength to walk off the stage, but plans never keep up with changes.
Unexpectedly, Lager, that scoundrel, didn’t play fair.
Even after losing, he was unwilling to accept it and tried to cheat, causing Mo Li to lose his composure at the last moment.
He had been holding on with sheer willpower, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
Mo Li gritted his teeth, knowing that this time he was probably done for… he couldn’t hold on any longer.
His deep voice gradually became sharp, and only he could hear his own wailing as he transformed from a boy into a young girl…
His black hair turned into a cascade of silver, and his body gradually shrank.
Fortunately, he was wearing a cloak and crouched on the ground.
Even with attention focused on him, without significant changes, he wouldn’t be discovered immediately.
“Kid, are you hurt?” The hook-nosed elder reluctantly walked over to Mo Li.
Honestly, he didn’t want to deal with this wild kid.
He had no background or wealth, and gaining favor with such a brat was utterly useless to him.
He couldn’t profit from it at all.
But due to his duties as a referee, he had no choice but to intervene, which annoyed him greatly.
His tone when addressing Mo Li was full of disdain, as if saying, “Even if you’re going to die, do it far away from me, don’t bother me.”
“Do you want me to take you to your academy’s medical room?”
“No, no need.” Mo Li covered his mouth, trying to make his voice sound as rough as possible.
“? Why has your voice changed so much?” The hook-nosed elder sensed something was off.
“…” To avoid revealing any flaws, Mo Li dared not make a sound, struggling to stand up from the ground.
The transformation was nearly complete, and soon the difference in height would be noticeable.
Once her identity was exposed, she would be doomed, and not just her, even Norma might be implicated.
No matter what, she had to hold on!
She took one step at a time towards the exit, only to be blocked by a despair-inducing figure just as she was about to reach it.
“Congratulations, Mo Li, on winning this match… but you don’t look too well.” Barlow taunted Mo Li with a mocking tone.
“…” Mo Li didn’t want to deal with him and tried to bypass him, only to be blocked by his two lackeys.
“How heartless, how can you ignore me? After all, we’re classmates.
I was even thinking of calling a doctor for you out of camaraderie.” Barlow looked at Mo Li, who remained silent, with amusement.
For some reason, even though he came to cause trouble, he found Mo Li’s current state strangely alluring…
Shaking off such odd thoughts, Barlow thought he must be crazy to feel any interest in a man.
“Ugh!…” Time dragged on too long, and Mo Li’s desperate struggle finally reached its limit.
She let out a muffled sound and squatted on the ground, her body convulsing uncontrollably.
“Yo, what’s wrong? Don’t push yourself.
After all, we’re from the same academy.
Even if there’s a grudge, I know how to prioritize at critical moments.” Despite his words, Barlow’s face was full of ridicule and mockery, clearly there to kick someone when they’re down.
“Come on, let me, as your senior, help you to the academy’s healer.” Saying this, Barlow reached out to grab Mo Li’s arm without waiting for a response.
This guy with bad intentions must be up to something.
If she fell into his hands, she would be truly finished! Mo Li trembled, gritting her teeth.
Having her biggest secret and weakness in the hands of an enemy, nothing could be worse.
If this Minster pervert discovered her gender and race, her fate couldn’t even be described as tragic.
Is it all over…
“Sorry, it seems my companion is feeling unwell.
I’ll take him back first.” At this moment, a clear and youthful female voice sounded beside Jasmine, slapping away Barlow’s outstretched hand.
“You…” Seeing the newcomer, Barlow was momentarily speechless, his face turning various shades of green.
“What’s wrong? My friend is unwell.
As a friend, should I just stand by and do nothing?” Limdis stood with her hands on her hips, raising her chin.
Saying this, Limdis helped Mo Li up.
“Please step aside.”
“…” Barlow had no choice but to have his lackeys step aside.
After all, in front of a crowd, he couldn’t make a scene that would damage the Minster family’s image.
Once out of the square, Mo Li was already drenched in cold sweat.
“Are you okay?”
“Take, take me away from here…” Mo Li, or rather Jasmine, leaned close to Limdis’s ear, weakly requesting in a soft voice.
“Of course, I know.” Limdis pouted, and with a thought, the scene changed instantly.
This was the outskirts…
Mo Li plopped down on the ground, her petite body making the large cloak drape over her like a blanket.
“I never expected you weren’t human… you hid it well, didn’t you, Miss White Feathered Dragons.”
“Huff huff…” With her identity exposed, Jasmine didn’t bother to explain.
She could only blame her bad luck for stepping on dog poop.
“I never thought I’d encounter a dragon in such a small town… Ah, even though my all-seeing magic eye has glimpsed the future, I truly didn’t expect your identity.”
“Thank you.” After catching her breath, Jasmine remained silent for a while before softly thanking Limdis.
“Hmph~ Gratitude is weak and pale, and I disdain your thanks.
I merely acted according to my will.”
“Why are you acting all high and mighty? Who do you think caused all this?” Jasmine rolled her eyes at Limdis.
“But seriously, thank you.” She propped herself up slightly, her eyes shining with genuine sincerity.
“If it weren’t for your timely help, I would have been in real danger.”
“Wh-why are you suddenly so formal? Isn’t it natural for friends to help each other?” Limdis averted her gaze.
“Hmph, instead of expressing gratitude, why not offer something tangible? Speaking of which, you didn’t even let me see your true face, even though you know what I look like… it’s not fair!”
“You want to see what I look like?” Jasmine thought this kid was really naive.
“Curious about what I look like? There’s really nothing special to see.” Saying this, Jasmine casually removed her hood.
“You…” The moment Limdis saw Jasmine’s face, her eyes widened, her expression frozen.
“? What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Jasmine frowned, rubbing her face.
Hmm, soft, it didn’t seem like there was any dirt or anything dirty on it.
“So, so beautiful…”
“? Huh?”
