Demonic King of the Metropolis - Chapter 10 - The School Beauty

As a key high school in G City, No. 2 High School naturally boasts a picturesque campus environment. Its distinctive teaching buildings are enhanced by the vibrant spring scenery, with budding willows fluttering in the breeze.

The willow branches on campus sway from time to time, with the occasional breeze shaking loose a few leaves from their branches.

Tang Jie walks along the shaded paths of the campus, his eyes scanning around, making odd noises to himself.

“Hmm… this place is definitely perfect for a field battle.”

“That spot isn’t bad either, with its thick trees. At night, when it’s quiet and dark, it’s absolutely a haven for secret lovers!”

“No, as a pillar of the nation’s future, I can’t let these students continue such indulgence!”

With a sudden serious expression, Tang Jie declares this, then swiftly moves behind a large tree. Unknown to anyone, he now has a small knife in his hand, and he quickly starts carving into the tree.

After a while, Tang Jie finally stops, looks at his ‘masterpiece’, and nods in satisfaction, muttering, “Hmm… good poem, good poem!”

Having said this, Tang Jie turns and leaves. On a particularly dark and windy night, a couple dressed in sky blue school uniforms comes under Tang Jie’s ‘masterpiece’ intending to spend a spring night together, but soon a loud howl is heard.

“Oh heavens, what beast did this? Please, send down a bolt of lightning to strike this creature dead.”

These were the exact words howled by the couple that night. From that point on, that tree was transformed from a lovers’ haven into a forbidden zone, and the legend of the tree began to circulate around the campus. Whenever Tang Jie heard this legend, he would still respond, unflustered, “Good poem, indeed a good poem!”

“Ding ding ding…”

Inside the campus, a bell chimes softly. The end of class bell suddenly rings, transforming the silent campus into a bustling hive of activity as students pour out of the teaching buildings.

At the doorway of Class 5 of Senior Year, two pretty girls in sky blue school uniforms step out. “Shuran-Jie, what’s the matter with you today? You seem distracted.”

One of the girls, holding Chen Shuran’s arm, asks her with concern.

Chen Shuran shakes her head and replies, “It’s nothing, Xiao Ran, just accompany me to the convenience store to buy some water, I’m thirsty.”

Seeing that Chen Shuran isn’t saying much, Xiao Ran doesn’t press further and simply nods. The two then turn and head towards the convenience store.

“Class is over, huh…” Tang Jie murmured as he slowly walked out of the campus restroom.

Upon exiting, he noticed a female student in her school uniform with strikingly attractive features, causing his eyes to light up.

“Wow… I didn’t expect there to be so many beautiful girls at this school!”

“Hey, buddy, you just now realizing how many beauties we have here?” A guy with glasses, who appeared quite refined, walked over, adjusting his black-framed glasses with a mischievous grin aimed at Tang Jie.

“Yeah, even though they’re just in school uniforms, you can definitely tell they’re beauties in the making!” Tang Jie didn’t mind the glasses guy’s conversation, and responded with enthusiasm.

“Of course, No. 2 High School is a key high school in the province, so there are bound to be more beauties here compared to other schools!” The glasses guy replied with a proud expression.

“See at three o’clock? Those two girls are the cold-faced school beauties of the senior year. So many people want to date them, but no one has succeeded,” the glasses guy pointed to two girls ahead who were standing with their backs to Tang Jie.

“School beauty?” Tang Jie followed the direction the glasses guy indicated, and a familiar silhouette caught his eye.

“It’s her!” Tang Jie murmured upon recognizing the supposed school beauty.

“Hmm?” His voice was too low to be heard by the glasses guy, who looked at Tang Jie with curiosity.

“It’s nothing…” Tang Jie waved his hand, not bothering to address the glasses guy’s questioning gaze.

“Bro, stop staring. Beauties of that caliber are way out of our league. We can only dream of them in our solitary moments,” Glasses Guy said as he pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.

“Solitary moments?” Tang Jie looked confused, then slowly asked, “What do you mean by ‘solitary moments’?”

“Dude, seriously? You don’t know what ‘solitary moments’ are?” Glasses Guy looked at Tang Jie as if he were an idiot and exclaimed in shock.

“Uh… can you explain what ‘solitary moments’ are?”

“Well, bro, to be honest, this topic is really profound. Every man deeply analyzes this issue when alone at night!” Glasses Guy took on a philosopher’s tone and slowly explained, “Well, ‘solitary moments’, to put it simply, is…”

Seeing Glasses Guy hesitate to continue, Tang Jie, losing his patience, pressed urgently, “Just spit it out, man!”

“It’s…,” Glasses Guy coughed and then said solemnly, “masturbating.”

“Uh…”

“Damn…”

Clenching his teeth and balling his hands into fists, Tang Jie swung a punch right at Glasses Guy’s temple, cursing loudly, “All this for that? You’ve wasted so much of my time! Why couldn’t you have just said it clearly earlier? Seeing how prim and proper you look, I wouldn’t have guessed you’re also a wanker. Get lost, I don’t want to associate with you.”

With that, Tang Jie left Glasses Guy lying on the ground, screaming in pain, as he disappeared from view, leaving a dashing silhouette behind.

“I was just explaining, why hit me?!”

Rubbing his temple, Glasses Guy got up and dusted off his clothes, complaining to himself.

However, Tang Jie was already out of earshot, following the direction in which Chen Shuran had left.
