Chapter 86:

I'm very nice

So What If I'm a Girl


Lan Du carefully got up, trying not to wake the two of them up, she was honestly surprised to wake up on the same bed as them, but she didn't have much reaction to it. Seeing the two of them sleeping, she smiled gently and wanted to pinch their cheeks.

he shook her head and looked around, she didn't know whose room she was in, but when she took a closer look, she realised it was quite familiar.

'I didn't think the girls wouldn't change their room even after so any years... I've been too busy over these years, I almost forgot what it looked like' Lan Du smiled and walked out the room quietly.

She headed downstairs and saw mother Xie cooking up a storm. She turned her head and saw Lan Du, when their eyes met, she waved.

"How was the night, you were sleeping like a child when they carried you back, ah, how long has it been since you last visited our house?"

Lan Du smiled and sat down

"Six years, two months, thirteen days and fourteen hours" Lan Du replied

Mother Xie paused

"W-What was that?" She asked

"The time since I last visited, it has been a while so maybe I missed a few hours, I do so apologise for not remembering it exactly" Lan Du said embarrassingly as she scratched the back of her head.

Mother Xie sighed and shook her head

"Sometimes I wonder if you're even human, look at you, all grown up and prettier than ever, if they hadn't introduced you as their boyfriend, I would have thought you're a girl" Mother Xie said warmly.

Lan Du stuck out a tongue

"Well, some girls are quite jealous of my face, though I don't take care of it, it's always strangely smooth and jade like" Lan Du rubbed her face and said.

Mother Xie gasped

"You don't take care  face?! How can you do such a thing, such a pretty face, if not for getting taken care of, what is it for?"

Lan Du stroked her chin

"Wooing girls" Lan Du replied with a straight face

Mother Xie shook her head

"You're mischievous as always, my girls would be so heartbroken if they heard you say that, but anyways, has your sadism cooled down after these years?" She asked curiously

Lan Du chuckled

"Mother Xie, you should already know me... when I see the suffering and desperate expressions of people I torment, I just can't help but get excited, there's always a certain satisfaction when I do things myself" Lan DU's cheeks were slightly red, not from embarrassment, but pure excitement.

Mother Xie giggled

"It seems I was wrong... it's gotten much worse"

Lan Du laughed

"Oh come on, it isn't that bad... but now that I'm thinking about it, I do enjoy tormenting people much more than before, it's strangely satisfying" Lan Du licked the side of her lips and giggled strangely

Mother Xie knocked her head with a spatula and grunted

"Don't act like that in front of my girls later or I won't give you lunch" She huffed

Lan Du smiled bitterly

"Mother Xie.... I have a confession"

Lan Du snapped her finger and the surrounding area became isolated, the space distorted around them and soon, they were standing in a pitch black area.

"What is this?" She looked around and asked

Lan Du took in a deep breath

"I want to be with your daughters forever, but I have a complicated situation, I don't wish to hurt them, but I can't give them an answer to the small distance I made with them" Lan Du's tone was bitter and damp

"What do you mean?" Mother Xie stopped questioning the area, rather, she became stern and serious.

"If I stay, I'll hurt them in the long run, but if I leave them, I'll hurt them now and may even traumatise them" Lan Du held her elbows as she hugged herself.

"I don't want to bring them any pain, but I can't make a choice either" Lan Du looked up at mother Xie and said helplessly.

Mother Xie took in a dep breath and walked over, she raised one hand and slapped Lan Du across her face.

"Have you calmed down yet?" She asked

Lan Du was dazed for a moment, but nodded soon after

"Now explain slowly" Mother Xie stated

Lan Du stared her deep in the eyes

"I love them, but I need to leave them" Lan Du said

Mother Xie frowned

"Are my daughters just your plaything? To grab and leave whenever you want?" She lifted a brow and asked her sternly.

Lan Du shook her head

"If anything, I'm the plaything, I've become a puppet to my desires of revenge, yet I mask it with a smile, at first, I only had one goal in my heart...but as time passed, your daughters made their ways into my heart, now...I cannot pick between my original goal or my current lifestyle" Lan Du said

"What is your goal then" Mother Xie furrowed her brows and asked

"Revenge...I want to take revenge on my father...but this path will be filled with bloodshed, death and losses, I may even die in the process, if I die...then what will happen to them? I don't want to become a thorn in their hearts, yet if I leave them now, it might be just as bad" Lan Du replied

She then felt a hard object land on her head heavily, she looked up and saw mother Xie glaring at her

"Then don't die, where did all your confidence go? Where is the over the top brat who wouldn't back down go!" She roared

Lan Du froze, but a smile slowly rose on her face, she nodded her head

"You're right, this isn't like me at all" She grinned from ear to ear as she snapped her fingers once again, the scene returned to normal and back to the regular kitchen.

"I heard from the twins that their grandparents are going to take them back" Lan Du said lightly

"Yes, they tend to be very stubborn and wouldn't back down on anything I say" She shook her head and sighed

Lan Du smiled

"No it's good that they're watching over them, I feel at ease, I've made quite a few enemies so with them, I won't need to worry about letting loose" Lan Du chuckled and stood up.

"I will leave now, give me a call when they come to pick the girls up, I'll rush over to see them off" Lan Du waved her hand and wanted to leave.

"Not going to wait for them to wake up?" Mother Xie asked

Lan Du shook her head

"I admit, I've been quite busy these past few years so I didn't have much time to visit this place, but sometimes, things needs to be finished before you can fully relax" Lan Du didn't wait for a reply, she just left the building with a biter smile.

She walked down the street, her gazes would often shift to many parts of the road she has been to with the twins by her side. She smiled and headed to the academy. She entered through the front gate and stopped outside a large building.

"It's been a while, I've been using the Underworld's virtual technology lately, now, being here makes me feel a little nostalgic" Lan Du muttered and walked in.

She picked a pod and laid down, she entered the mech battle simulation and adjusted her mech.

"The old me had quite a good taste, pity the past me was still too green to utilise the design to the maximum" She smiled and held out two large sized daggers.

"I used to be quite a stubborn one, only using daggers" She muttered and equipped two pistols as well as a sniper onto the mech.

"Let's see how the current generation will fare against me" Lan Du smiled and registered for a random battle, she soon found a match and they both appeared in a large open field.

"Oh, the scenery has changed since last time" Lan Du chuckled and pulled out the two pistols at the side of her mech.

The other mech had a long sword and two canons at the side of his shoulders.

"Interesting, though the balance of the mech seems off at first, the canons are used for both close and long ranged combat, with effective blast radius and also covers up when the mech would attack with the sword" Lan Du raised the pistols up and began shooting.

The other opponent jumped to the side, his canons aimed towards her as he dashed forward. Lan Du smirked, her bullets did minimum damage but most of the shots landed.

The moment he got close however, he realised his mech's damage metre has already reached the halfway mark. He gritted his teeth and slashed down with his blade, the moment he did so, his canon fired at Lan Du.

Lan Du didn't back down, rather, she ran forward, in the instant the canon fired, she was already in front of him and her pistols were switched to the daggers. She aimed it at the joint areas, easily puncturing the enemy mech. Though the canon shots landed on her, the damage it dealt to her was insignificant to the ones she had done to him.

She then pulled out the sniper and stuck it to his mech's head.

"Adios" Lan Du smiled and shot

The gun was fired, and the match ended, Lan Du stared at her damage metre.

"The canons did more than expected, a few more shots and would have been over for me" Lan Du muttered "I  shouldn't fight this recklessly next time, these mechs are after all, only beginner ones, it can't be compared to the ones I used in the Underworld"

After that, Lan Du competed a few more times, her results were better than the first as she didn't just take the hits, but she still didn't seem satisfied.

"These mechs are too weak, they can't even take a single sniper shot to the head" Lan Du sighed and decided to end it there, instead, she headed to the virtual training ground where she could fight hand to hand.

The moment Lan Du's tag appeared above her head, she received gasps from all direction. She looked up and saw that her name was crimson red and had a title next to it.

[Wild Beast of the Jungles]

'Damn, when did that title appear, in fact, was there always a title system?'

She quickly checked the data of the world and realised it was added recently. And when she checked the titles, only those who practically tortures their opponents would gain the title she holds.

She looked around and there were very few titleholders, she grumbled in her heart.

'It must be instructor Lu, that bastard' She cursed in her head, she looked around and everyone who saw her gaze would turn aside.

Lan Du sighed

'And the titles can't be removed either... I'll make him pay for this later'

Somwhere, inside an office, a middle aged man sat there whlst drinking coffee. He was instructor Lu, just then, he suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and muttered:

"Who's talking bad about me... must be that brat Lan Du, apart from him, no one else has the guts" He mumbled to himself.

Lan Du walked around and found the place to be very different, she remmebered it used to be very festival like, now it was more fantasy like with the buildings and such.

'Well it has been 6 years since I last touched this thing'

She went to the arena where many people retreated from the moment they saw her title. Lan Du grummbled, though they express fear and she enjoyed that, if no one wants to fight her, she couldn't fully enjoy herself.

She sat down on the centre of the arena and typed something into the system.

[1 vs 50, anyone who can beat me will be given 2 million dollars]

Lan Du entered this and an announcement was made through the arena's main notice. Everyone who saw this were shocked, but their eyes then filled with greed.

Before she knew it, 50 people had arrived on the arena and all surrounded her.

"Is it true?" Someone asked

Lan Du stood up

"Of course, but that is under the condition that you beat me, the remaining people on the arena will be given 2 million each after my defeat, but if I win, prepare to know what true suffering means" Lan Du smirked, she snapped her fingers and a countdown began.

At first, the group were sure they could win and this was easy money, but inmatter of seconds, close to a dozen people were bashed into the ground and throw around like dolls.

Lan Du grabbed one by his face and dragged his face across the floor. He was almost disfigured by that and the insan pain he felt caused him to faint on the spot. Lan Du continued bashing anyone within her radius and in just a few minutes, everyone was on the ground groaning in pain.

"As promised, I will be showing you all, what it means to suffer" Lan Du grinned, the wails and cries of the individuals rang out the arena.

Enyone who passed by would shudder at the sight, not only were the groups getting tortured, they had to obediently kneel as they get tortured by Lan Du.

"Thank goodness I didn't make it in the 50, or I'd be fortured beyond belief" Someone muttered

They then heard Lan Du's giggles, as she endulged herself in her 'pleasures'. Lan Du grabbed one by the head and slammed it into the ground.

"Let me show you all brats an example of what you do to torture information out of someone, if they are tight lipped, you do this" Lan Du kicked his buttocks up and pulled someone else over.

"I don't have drugs in the virtual world so I'll be direct, feed this guy here with aphrodisiac and leave them both in a cage, nature will do the rest" Lan Du chuckled

The who arena became silent, they wanted to run and cry, but no one dared to do so in case Lan Du dragged them in to make an example.

"I'm a very nice person, really, I'm here to teach you different life techniques, this next one is...enjoyment of human suffering, once you feel the rush of seeing a man suffer, you won't be satisfied with anything else" Lan Du's saile was more sadistic than ever.

'It's over, he's an S!'

'Why did we have to meet a Sadist! Of all types!'

They all kneeled there motionlessly, but their hearts were beating faster than a sub machine gun and sweat was rolling down the side of their faces like crazy. Lan Du chuckled

"I'm feeling quite good so I'll leave it at that, hope there's more idiots like you the next time I come here" Lan Du laughed and her figure disappeared.

Soon, rumours began to spread of a crazy demon who tortures people for fun. They then read the username who posted the 1vs 50 challenge.

[Little Devil]

"Has anyone heard this name before?"

"I don't seem to remember anyone with this username, could it be a newcomer?"

"Ah, I know, that username is a legend! Six years ago, he defeated any high rankers and traumatised many ompetitors with his cruel fighting style, he was soon forgotten after not showing up after that, but he earned a title of Devil of the arena"

A heated discussion soon ramped up and Lan Du's tales spread throughout the whole academy. When instructor Lu heard this, his eyes twitched.

'It has to be him... did he get mad because of the title?'

He shook his head and smiled

"I doubt she'll know it was me, after all, it's just a conditional based system-"

Suddenly, his door shot open and there stood a young man, his white hair was very eye catching and his jade green eyes were breathtaking.

"Lan Du?" Instructor Lu was taken aback

Lan Du smirked

"Greetings, Devil instructor Lu, would you by any chance...know of the title given to me? Wild beast of the jungle?" Lan Du's smile was full of malice and aggression.

Instructor Lu coughed

"I have no clue"He muttered

Lan Du chuckled and walked over, she placed a hand on his shoulder and wore a big, bright smile on her face.

"That'll be best that you don't know, or this school might have a news report come in tomorrow, the disappearnce of Instructor Lu, wouldn't that be interesting?"

Instructor Lu laughed it off

"Of course not, if I disappeared, the miliary would start searching, it wouldn't be good for you" He replied calmly

Lan Du lifted a brow

"That's interesting" His words made her more intruiged and she patted his shoulder

"Then I assume they have ways to track down dissolved corpses and burnt ashes, do introduce me to your technology, I'm very interested" Lan Du chuckled and left the room soon after.

Instructor Lu let out a sigh

"That lad gets crazier by the day, back then, he was actually quite obedient, now, even I can't control him anymore" He shook his head and wore a bitter smile.
