Volume 3 Chapter 26
by Golden DragonVolume 3 + Chapter 26: The Cultural Festival Game
“What am I going to do? Enjoy my spoils of war, of course, the lovely princess.”
With that, Bai Yuxuan wore a wicked smile and closed in on Ouyang Qianxue.
“You think I’ll just sit here and wait for death?”
Ouyang Qianxue threw another punch at Bai Yuxuan, but she dodged it and tucked his arm under her side. Then she reached out and grabbed his ankle.
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
With one foot caught by Bai Yuxuan, Ouyang Qianxue immediately began struggling.
“I’m just borrowing something from you.”
With that, Bai Yuxuan slipped off the glass high heel from his foot. Qianxue’s calf and foot, wrapped in white stockings, were instantly revealed to the audience.
“Wow! The school beauty’s white stockings!”
The audience below became excited at the sight of Ouyang Qianxue’s foot.
“Those cute little feet, I want to lick them…”
But before this male student could finish, he was punished by the fists of those around him, though he was far from alone in having such thoughts.
“Give me back my shoe!”
Ouyang Qianxue shouted at Bai Yuxuan in shame and anger.
“You want it? Come and take it.”
Bai Yuxuan held the shoe up as high as she could. Since Qianxue was half a head shorter than her, he couldn’t reach it no matter what.
“I’ll jump!”
Just as Qianxue tried to jump, Bai Yuxuan stopped him.
“Jumping is forbidden, you know.”
“Give me back my shoe!”
Qianxue pummeled Bai Yuxuan with his fists.
“Ah, so this is the feeling of little fists pounding on my chest. But this one packs quite a punch.”
With that, Bai Yuxuan pulled Ouyang Qianxue into her embrace.
“All right, stop fooling around. The game is about to begin.”
“Game?”
Ouyang Qianxue looked puzzled.
“Dear audience, this stage play ends with the Demon King’s victory!”
Bai Yuxuan announced to the spectators below.
“So the Demon King wins?”
“I thought the hero would mount a counterattack in the end.”
“But this stage play is truly original. Not only are the plot and ending unexpected, but the characters’ emotions, expressions, and fight scenes are also very realistic!”
The audience buzzed with discussion.
“Senior Yuxuan.”
Xia Bingdie handed a microphone to Bai Yuxuan.
“Everyone!”
At her words, the hall quieted down again.
“Although the stage play ends here, the story of the Demon King and the hero is not over.”
“The stage play is over, but the Demon King and hero’s story isn’t? What does that mean?”
The audience was thoroughly confused.
“Because the princess has gone missing, the kingdom has begun recruiting heroes from across the land. And those heroes are all of you students here today! When the evil Demon King abducted the princess, she accidentally dropped one of the princess’s crystal slippers. This crystal slipper has a special magic, when it gets close to its owner, it glows. So this crystal slipper becomes the only clue to finding the princess.”
“Then I announce the second event of the Cultural Festival, the game session officially begins! All students may participate. The name of the game is ‘Save the Princess’!”
“Save the Princess?”
“Correct. Anyone who can bring the crystal slipper to the gymnasium on the east side of the school by 6:00 PM will be the winner of this game. The prize for the winner is a date with the three clubs’ president and the school beauty Ouyang Qianxue for the remaining time of the Cultural Festival!”
“What?!”
Ouyang Qianxue turned his head to look at Bai Yuxuan.
“Get out of my way! The winner will be me!”
As soon as Bai Yuxuan finished speaking, the students below erupted into chaos.
“Then without further ado.”
Bai Yuxuan turned around, placed Qianxue’s glass high heel into a golden cloth bag, and tied it tightly.
“Go!”
She tossed the bag in a certain direction, and it happened to land right in Jiang Cheng’s hands.
“I see it! The shoe landed over there!”
“Grab it!”
A surging crowd rushed toward Jiang Cheng.
“Damn it, boss, you can’t set me up like this!”
Seeing the crowd closing in from all directions, Jiang Cheng took off running.
“Bai Yuxuan, what do you mean by this!”
Ouyang Qianxue pointed at Bai Yuxuan and shouted furiously.
“I just want to play a game with you.”
“Play your head! What if someone actually gets to the gymnasium with the shoe before 6 o’clock?”
“Then you go on a date with him.”
“Dream on! I’m not playing along!”
(No way, I’m going on a date with a man!)
With that, Ouyang Qianxue simply took off his other glass slipper and planned to change back into his sports shoes. But then Bai Yuxuan blocked his way.
“That won’t do. This was promised by our student council. Breaking the promise would make us lose credibility.”
“You promised that on your own. What obligation do I have to do what you say?”
“You’re right. But to appease the resentment of the losers, we’ll just have to compensate them with some substitutes to salvage the situation.”
Bai Yuxuan reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a photograph.
“What!”
Seeing the photograph, Ouyang Qianxue was horrified. It was a picture of him in a maid outfit.
“You actually printed it out!”
He reached out to snatch it, but Bai Yuxuan immediately put the photo back in her pocket.
“So, won’t you reconsider?”
“Bastard!”
A voice suddenly came from behind.
“How dare you threaten Senior Ouyang!”
Duan Haichen struggled to his feet. Though he hadn’t heard the whole conversation, he vaguely understood that the senior he admired was in trouble.
“Don’t worry, Senior Ouyang. I will get those crystal slippers for you!”
With that, Duan Haichen brushed the dust off his clothes.
“But your injuries…”
“No problem!”
Duan Haichen rushed out the door and joined the race for the crystal slippers.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng, who had gotten the slippers, ran desperately outside. Thanks to his excellent athletic ability, he hadn’t been caught ten minutes after the start. The dark mass of people chasing him looked spectacular from a distance, like ants moving their nest.
“Right, everyone at school was watching the stage play earlier. I just need to find a place to hide!”
With that, Jiang Cheng ran into the school building. The crowd chasing him created an unprecedented traffic jam at the stairwell.
“Heh heh, next, I just need to hide in the storage room next to the student council office…”
He reached for the key in his pocket, but when his hand went in, he was dumbfounded. The pocket was completely empty!
“Haha!”
Back on the stage, Bai Yuxuan pulled a key out of her own pocket and showed an evil grin.
“Bai Yuxuan, what are you smirking about?”
“Just thinking of something good!”
“Damn, where’s the key?!”
Hearing the students chasing him from the stairwell, Jiang Cheng grew anxious.
“No choice. I’ll have to take shelter in the club classrooms!”
He ran toward the club classrooms on the west side of the building. Just as he reached the door of the music room, a bag was suddenly thrown over his head, and he was pulled inside.
