Hou Ming excitedly rushed to the top floor in a flash, having already spotted Qin Shuyao’s tracks; although she was heavily bundled, he was certain it was her!
“Qin Teacher… where are you? Your student is here to ask for guidance~” Hou Ming’s appearance at this moment was nothing like a student from a prestigious university; instead, he looked exactly like a delinquent from the streets.
The rooms were easy to find because each door had a name stick on it.
The three stood at Qin Shuyao’s door, Hou Ming suppressing the urge to kick it open, unable to resist smoothing his hair and licking his dry lips before gently knocking.
There was no other way; in front of Qin Shuyao, every student couldn’t help but act like a gentleman.
Knock knock knock~
“Qin Teacher, please open the door, your students are here for you.”
Inside the room, Qin Shuyao was biting her lip until it almost bled; she dared not make a sound, huddling by the bed with Nuo Nuo.
“Still not opening? Qin Teacher… open the door, don’t hide inside without a sound, I know you’re home.”
Still no sound.
Hou Ming’s patience gradually ran out, and his knocking became more and more frantic.
“Hey~ playing hide-and-seek with me, are we? Holy crap!!!” Hou Ming kicked the door open and rushed in impatiently.
He indeed saw Qin Shuyao.
Although she had wrapped herself up like a zongzi, Hou Ming knew what a graceful figure was hidden beneath that down jacket.
Qin Shuyao’s face lost all color, and she couldn’t help but scream, “Ah ah ah!!! Don’t come in, get out, quickly get out!”
At this moment, the beautiful teacher was as helpless as a pure white lamb.
Hou Ming excitedly licked his lips.
“Hehehe, Qin Teacher, no need to scream; no one will come to save you even if you scream yourself hoarse. From now on, you’ll follow me, don’t worry… I’ll take good care of you!”
Listening to his teasing words, Qin Shuyao was almost in tears from fear, her whole body filled with resistance.
“No, who wants to follow you? You’re all bad people, you’re devils!”
Hou Ming approached slowly with an evil grin: “A devil? You can call me a devil. Later, I’ll let you witness an even more formidable devil.”
Suddenly, Qin Shuyao felt a looseness in her arms; Nuo Nuo jumped out, opened her small mouth, and bit towards Hou Ming.
“Oh? There’s a dog here too. We’ll have dog meat hotpot tonight.” Hou Ming didn’t care, raising his hand to slap Nuo Nuo away.
Such a small dog actually knew to save its owner; seeing how sensible it was, he’d add more chili tonight.
But the next second, something terrifying happened.
The tiny Nuo Nuo, only two palm-lengths in size, instantly grew larger; her small mouth, which struggled to swallow a hot dog, turned into a gaping maw, and her cute puppy teeth became sharp fangs.
A small puppy turned into a mighty tiger, no less!
Her height went from 12 centimeters to a huge 1.2 meters.
“Damn it!!!” Hou Ming was scared stiff, instinctively pulling his hand back, but Nuo Nuo’s large mouth had already bitten down.
Splurt!
Hou Ming’s arm was bitten off on the spot, and blood splattered onto Nuo Nuo’s pure white fur.
“Ah!!!!” Hou Ming cried out in pain, clutching his severed arm and hastily retreating.
This sudden scene not only terrified him but also startled Feng Yi, Chen Yunxi, and a bewildered Qin Shuyao.
“Is this my Nuo Nuo?”
Feng Yi’s face changed dramatically: “Quick, retreat, this is a mutated dog!”
He reacted quickly, instantly realizing that this dog might have come into contact with Poison Snow, just like him and Hou Ming, and gained superpowers.
With that, he immediately dragged Chen Yunxi and ran. Hou Ming’s eyes welled up with tears, the pain from his severed arm causing his adrenaline to surge, and he took off running like crazy.
Nuo Nuo chewed on the severed arm, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, looking extremely terrifying.
After swallowing the severed arm whole, Nuo Nuo, having tasted blood, sprinted after them.
“Nuo Nuo~” Qin Shuyao, worried about her beloved pet’s safety, also struggled to chase after them.
In the corridor, the three people and one dog engaged in a chase. Looking at the large white dog with its blood-red mouth snarling at him, Hou Ming was scared out of his wits.
“Feng Yi, you shoot it!”
Although Feng Yi was equally terrified, he yelled back without turning his head: “This dog is too fast, I can’t hit it. You hold it off first; if you just hold it for a moment, I can hit it.”
“I’m not falling for that!” Hou Ming wasn’t stupid; he was already maimed, how could he hold off this big dog?
He ran even faster.
“Ah~”
While running, Chen Yunxi stumbled and fell; she was just an ordinary person and couldn’t keep up with the speed of the awakened ones.
Feng Yi slammed on the brakes, wanting to save his girlfriend, but Hou Ming had already taken advantage of the opening to pass them, and the large white dog behind was rapidly approaching.
After struggling for less than 0.1 seconds, Feng Yi decisively gave up on the rescue and continued to run.
No matter how much he liked his girlfriend, his own life was more important.
Chen Yunxi was crying from fear, watching the menacingly gaping Nuo Nuo get closer and closer.
“No… don’t eat me, Feng Yi, save me!!”
At the critical moment, Qin Shuyao shouted from behind: “Nuo Nuo, no biting people!!”
Her command was very effective; Nuo Nuo’s fangs stopped just above Chen Yunxi’s forehead. She sniffed at Chen Yunxi with her nose, nudged her, and surprisingly became incredibly docile.
Chen Yunxi was too scared to open her eyes. Qin Shuyao, seeing Nuo Nuo obey, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Nuo Nuo, come back, don’t hurt anyone!”
Nuo Nuo obediently ran back to her feet and circled around her.
Although she didn’t understand why her pet dog had become so big, as long as it was her Nuo Nuo, that was all that mattered.
And with this size, safety was maximized.
Feng Yi and Hou Ming also noticed that the large white dog hadn’t eaten Chen Yunxi, and that Qin Teacher wouldn’t let it bite people, so they both stopped and watched from a distance.
It took Qin Shuyao a long time to process the current situation before she walked over and helped Chen Yunxi up.
“Are you okay, student?”
Chen Yunxi looked at the large white dog beside her and shook her head timidly: “I… I’m fine, thank you, Qin Teacher.”
“Sigh…” Qin Shuyao then looked at Feng Yi and the other man.
“Students, don’t make things worse. As long as you don’t intend to harm me, I can make Nuo Nuo not harm you. And,
that student’s arm is broken, it needs to be treated quickly, or it will be troublesome.”
As a teacher, she ultimately couldn’t be ruthless towards her students. The inherently kind Qin Shuyao decided to let them go.
Feng Yi and the other man exchanged a glance, overjoyed.
“Okay, Teacher, it was our fault before. Don’t worry, we will never harm you again,” Feng Yi said, rubbing his eyes as if wiping away tears, as he approached.
When he was less than 5 meters away from them, he suddenly took his hands away, and crimson lasers burst from his eyes.
This happened too suddenly; Nuo Nuo reacted quickly but was still hit on one leg by the laser, which was broken on the spot.
“Woof woof woof!!”
Nuo Nuo roared in pain, opened her large mouth, and charged forward, her voice incredibly loud.
Feng Yi quickly shifted his gaze, aiming directly at Nuo Nuo.
