Chapter 67: The kick that backfired

"Oh that, huh?" Ling Yun spoke as if he just realized what was going on, "Well, I guess now we truly know each other, eh?"

Ling Yun knew that Cao Shanshan was here today to settle all her grudges with him!

That being said, it was true that he really had not known who Cao Shanshan was yesterday. It was only when he realized that they were classmates that he understood the grave mistake that he had made. Yet, what could he do now anyway? Was he supposed to explain all that had happened in honesty and leak all his secrets to her? The answer was clear. No! Thus, Ling Yun chose to forsake explaining and instead feign ignorance. After all, avoiding main issues and probing trivial ones while giving ambiguous answers were his forte.

This was because even to Ling Yun, who was a top fighter, one who could hurt others without hesitation, he had to differentiate who he was up against! In this case, during yesterday's lunch, Cao Shanshan had made a ruckus and threw many tantrums. But the root cause of it was that he had failed to recognize her. Thus, the fault lay with him.

In addition, though Ling Yun had failed to detect the change in Cao Shanshan's attitude towards him this morning. The fact that Cao Shanshan had given him a stack of English revision notes changed his negative impression of her for the better. From his view, maybe...just maybe, this ravishing madonna was not as unreasonable as she seemed. If that was so, maybe the past Ling Yun might have had some entanglement with her. Thus, his current attitude towards her might have differed greatly, causing a misunderstanding.

Therefore, with all these factors adding up, it was understandable for her to get the wrong impression of the current Ling Yun. After all, it was a complete change in soul and Cao Shanshan had no idea about the incident. How was she supposed not to misunderstand?

Furthermore, it was just as Zhang Ling said. All of Ling Yun's opponent so far had all been guys! As for Zhuang Meina, Ling Yun had ended up threatening her yesterday at the entrance to class 1. But, in the end, he never did raise his fist against her. In all honesty, if he had decided to hit someone, would Ning Lingyu truly have been able to stop him? Of course not!

In fact, the main reason why Ling Yun did not hit Zhuang Meina was that she was a girl. For a self-cultivator to inflict violence on an ordinary lady over trivial arguments and jealousy. Even for Ling Yun, it was a moral boundary that he did not wish to cross.

Besides, Ling Yun has always had a soft spot for the coquetry and stubbornness of girls. If not, with Xue Meining's crafty and unruly nature, forget about shopping, Ling Yun would have long lost his temper. To Ling Yun, his time was precious. If he refused, no one would have been able to force him to do anything. Even if it was for the sake of buying things for him!

As for Cao Shanshan, seeing Ling Yun avoiding her question and mumbling here and there, she thought that he was at a loss for words. The more she looked at Ling Yun, the more she agreed with Zhang Ling. The Ling Yun now was no longer the Ling Yun of the past. Thus, he was surely concerned about his pride and image.

Cao Shanshan bit her lips, her pretty eyes looking straight into Ling Yun's pupils.

"Fine, I will put that aside for now. Next question... why did you snatch away my thousand dollars yesterday?" Cao Shanshan interrogated, her anger hiding within her tone. From her perspective, Ling Yun had taken the money in an attempt to grab her attention and anger so that he could embarrass her. And she was sure he had done all that in order to reestablish his newfound pride as a man.

Whereas for Ling Yun, he could not have hoped for an easier question. With a confident look, he replied joyfully without a second's thought.

"Now now, please watch your language, I did not snatch. I took what belonged to me. Anyway, that money was Tang Meng's, what does it have to do with you?"

"You...!" Cao Shanshan stuttered as she stared at Ling Yun. As it was not the answer she had anticipated, she was temporarily speechless. Ling Yun's answer had left her both disappointed and angry.

In all honesty, she was no longer bothered about what Ling Yun had done. It was understandable and reasonable when a guy who had new found strength wants to demonstrate his pride and ends up doing something out of character.

Therefore, what Cao Shanshan wanted then was an explanation of some sort so that she could put an end to the issue without hurting both of their pride. She wanted an explanation that would allow her to come to an understanding. She was, after all, one the school Madonna and had to protect her image and reputation.

Yet, the intentions behind her question were lost to the thick-headed Ling Yun. Not a trace of such thoughts even came into Ling Yun's mind.

The infuriated Cao Shanshan could only grit her teeth before nodding her head in frustration.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!"

"Then let me ask you, what were you referring to when you said 'so nice and big...' and all that?!"

No matter how open-minded and modern she was, Cao Shanshan was still a girl who had yet to experience her first love, a pure maiden. Thus, she was not able to say the word 'perky' in the end.

Now, Ling Yun was in trouble.

"Um...that..." Ling Yun cursed himself for the comment. Just how sharp are her ears?

"Come on, why aren't you speaking?! If you've got the guts, why don't you try saying that once more?" Cao Shanshan hollered at Ling Yun.

Each time she thought of that sentence, the rage within her boiled anew. She was on the very verge of unleashing her wrath on Ling Yun! As if in response to her anger, Cao Shanshan's supple chest rose and fall with each pant, it was an alluring sight to behold.

Unable to hold back his praises, Ling Yun nodded his head before throwing in his praises.

"It is indeed nice, big and perky! What's wrong with speaking the truth?"

"You disgusting and perverted maggot! I will kick you to death!" Cao Shanshan's nerve was finally snapped by Ling Yun's lecherous rebuke. Having forgotten about the crowd of onlookers, her leg flew towards Ling Yun's chest!

As the kick was done in a moment of rage, it was fierce and without a shred of mercy. It was even faster than the beer bottle that Ling Yun had dodged yesterday.

"Oh, the fight started!"

All the students at the hostel entrance were screaming in excitement as they witnessed the exciting scene before them.

"Look! Cao Shanshan's kick is so fast and high that it reached Ling Yun's chest! So wild!"

"It's over. At such a short distance and so sudden, there's no way he can evade it! Looks like our school Madonna isn't one to be messed with!"

"That flexibility... Her foundation from dance really paid off, how else would she be able to kick so high?"

At that moment, almost no one was worried about Ling Yun's wellbeing. All were mesmerized and singing praises to Cao Shanshan's beautiful yet merciless kick.

"Brother!" the shock Ning Lingyu shouted as she saw Cao Shanshan whip out her leg towards Ling Yun's chest. As they were a distance apart, she had no idea what they were saying. Nevertheless, Cao Shanshan's actions gave the shock of her life. With her emotions running high, Ning Lingyu started running in their direction.

"Don't worry, Ling Yun is fine!" Tang Meng yelled at the same time while grabbing Ning Lingyu's sleeve. Giving Ning Lingyu an assuring smile, he shook his head, telling her not to worry.

What a joke! Tang Meng thought in his mind. Since Ling Yun was been able to dodge that merciless beer bottle yesterday, there's no way he could be hit by Cao Shanshan's kick! Such was Tang Meng's confidence in Ling Yun. In addition, from Tang Meng's observation of the various confrontations and arguments between the two yesterday as well as taking their personalities into account, he knew such a day would come. It was just a matter of time. And since this feud was initiated by the two of them, it was best to leave to them to resolve it.

As more students started moving closer towards the two of them, Tang Meng held back Ning Lingyu before immediately shouting in a clear and distinct voice.

"Whoever dares to move any closer to them, I'll make sure to knock you out myself!"

Upon hearing his warning, all the students froze on the spot, not daring to approach further. Such was the power of the notorious Tang Meng. No one was willing to get a beating just so that they could join in the excitement. Even Zhang Ling, who was a few meters ahead, glared at Tang Meng before retreating obediently back to the sidelines.

To call it fast was an understatement. In a blink of an eye, Cao Shanshan's right leg was already reaching Ling Yun's chest.

"What? You're really kicking me?!" Ling Yun said with a confident smile.

In Ling Yun's mind, the kick from Cao Shanshan was indeed fast. If he had not broken past Level 1 of the Physique Tempering Stage, he would have had a hard time evading the kick. But, unfortunately, he had already done it the previous night!

Without moving from where he stood, Ling Yun tilted his body slightly as he waited for Cao Shanshan's leg to reach the position on his chest. At that instant, his left hand moved like lighting. In a fraction of a second, his left hand raised her leg by her ankle and placed it gently on his shoulder. With Cao Shanshan's right leg on his left shoulder, Ling Yun's left leg took a big step forward and then they were so close that his body was plastered together with her's.

Indeed, it was intimacy at its greatest!

As for Cao Shanshan, it was a tragedy!

That action was just too dazzling, flirtatious and provoking!

With Cao Shanshan 's leg resting on Ling Yun's shoulder and with him stepping so close to her, her legs were almost straight like a pencil. As her legs stuck to Ling Yun's body, the skinny jeans on her body were stretched even further, emphasizing her long and slim legs.

What followed was even more wonderful. As Ling Yun was afraid that Cao Shanshan would lose her balance, he even gently wrapped his right arm around her soft and petite waist.

Cao Shanshan was only a mere few centimeters shorter than Ling Yun. Thus, with only her left leg tiptoeing on the ground, the two almost seemed like the perfect image of intimacy. Cao Shanshan was embarrassed beyond words!

Their actions were not left unnoticed by the onlookers. The pose was just too passionate, illicit, and sizzling hot! Was this truly a fight? Even pair figure skating was not able to produce such intimacy!

At that moment, all the male students' hearts were shattered. To hold their goddess in such an intimate embrace!

Cao Shanshan was absolutely unprepared and in the blink of an eye, she was in Ling Yun's embrace. All she could feel at that moment was a sense of dominance and manliness coming from Ling Yun that seemed to shake her heart and mind!

At that instant, she was momentarily lost in her own world. She was so drunk at that moment that she did not even remember the fact that she was in school. Not to mention, under the gaze of numerous students!

After finally regaining her senses, Cao Shanshan's face turned beet red with humiliation and anger. Using both of her fists she rained punches down on Ling Yun's chest as she struggled to pull free.

"You... Let me go at once!" Cao Shanshan struggled with all her might.

Ling Yun's chubby, big hand grabbed Cao Shanshan's leg by her ankle. Seeing her soft, supple, and enticing long legs, Ling Yun could not help but bring his nose closer for a sniff.

"Oh, I was right! It smells really nice!" Ling Yun spoke with an expression of approval as he nodded his head.

Ling Yun's face was intoxicated as he relished the smell.

Cao Shanshan was overwhelmed with anger by Ling Yun's disrespectful act. To do that to a young lady was no different from blasphemy! Cao Shanshan twisted and turned her delicate body as she tried to escape Ling Yun's embrace, her face burning with anger.

From birth till this moment, no male had ever stuck himself so close to her body before! Even her brother, Cao Tianlong, had never held her so intimately! They seldom met and even when they did, the most they allowed was an ordinary hug!

Ling Yun was unaffected by Cao Shanshan's soft punches as he lowered his head to have a closer look at her supple bosom, which was being squeezed tight by his right thigh. With a grin, he teased, "Oh, it is indeed very big, round and perky. In fact, it's also fair and smells nice!"

In the distance.

Zhang Ling's mouth had now widened to form a large O-shape. She stood motionless and dumbfounded by the scene before her. "Oh my, am I seeing things?! Isn't that a bit too passionate?" Zhang Ling mumbled under her breathe.

But before long, her shock had transformed into joy as she spoke softly to herself in glee.

"Shanshan, maybe that's the outcome that you have been hoping for? Maybe you have already fallen head over heels for him, just that you have not realized it yourself? Or perhaps you just refuse to admit it, eh?"

Seeing her brother doing such a daring action on Cao Shanshan, Ning Lingyu's face unknowing flushed bright red. Who could he do such a thing? Now, how would Cao Shanshan be able to face others in school? However, as she looked at how their intimate and flirtatious they seemed, she could not help but felt a peculiar feeling. She did not know why but it was an uncomfortable feeling. It was as if a needle was softly pricking her.

As for Tang Meng, his mouth was so wide one that might be able to fit an ostrich's egg in. He was in a daze as he looked at the two in the distance.

"The boss is indeed the boss! So aggressive, bold, and unrestrained! To exceed even my expectations!" Tang Meng muttered to himself.

Cao Shanshan could not have imagined that a single kick would land her in such a situation!

That whimsical kick had caused a ripple effect, dragging her into more trouble! Now, the whole school was shaken as well.

Without a doubt, this incident would go down as Qingshui High's most romantic legend, and this scene would be etched into the minds of those lucky enough to have witnessed it!
