Chapter 472 - 472: Conquering The Ape Claw Beasts’ Lair! (3)
She noticed that Qu Xiao Xiao, whom she had always looked down upon now receiving a lot of attention.
The reason was that people around were explaining that Zhao Yu and Qu Xiao Xiao were childhood sweethearts with deep feelings.
Meanwhile, Qu Xiao Xiao appeared to be calmly accepting the attention. Instead of clarifying that she had already had a falling out with Zhao Yu, she wore a smile and looked at Zhao Yu with tender affection, as if they shared an unspoken secret.
Huo Li Juan cursed inwardly.
Damn it, what a shameless woman!
How disgraceful to pretend to be in love after initially despising Zhao Yu for being a ninth-grade citizen and rejecting him despite their longstanding relationship.
Disgusting, truly disgusting!
At the same time, she began to fantasize about being Zhao Yu’s girlfriend, enjoying such attention openly.
Soon, Huo Li Juan noticed Liu Si Yu, beside her also looking enviously at Qu Xiao Xiao.
Even she felt that way…
Huo Li Juan was tempted. If she could become Zhao Yu’s girlfriend, maybe she could use this opportunity to overshadow Liu Si Yu once again.
No, she would definitely overshadow her, leaving Liu Si Yu with no chance to turn things around!
“Ha ha!!”
Lost in her fantasies, she laughed out loud unintentionally.
This drew the attention of many people around her.
Liu Si Yu felt embarrassed, quickly turned to Huo Li Juan and asked, “What are you laughing at?!”
Huo Li Juan, snapped back to reality and seeing the odd looks from people around her, blurted out defensively, “Shoo! None of your business!”
At the same time, she sighed inwardly.
Fantasies were just fantasies. It was unlikely that Zhao Yu would become her boyfriend.
Alas!
She had to rely on herself after all.
Huo Li Juan came back to her senses, realizing she didn’t necessarily have to rely on Zhao Yu. Once she became an enhancer, she would be the queen.
Looking at Deng Xue Ling and the other girl with the long sword, she decided to become like one of them.
So provocative!
But… she envied them so much!
Beside her, Liu Si Yu also looked at Zhao Yu with a peculiar interest.
Her rivalry with Huo Li Juan was based on their similar views; both loved to show off and be in the spotlight.
For some reason, she suddenly found Zhao Yu incredibly charming, stirring feelings in her heart.
She recalled her few encounters with Zhao Yu and breathed a sigh of relief.
The only time she had offended him was by questioning why he survived instead of Cao Ji Ji.
However, she had apologized in the classroom and Zhao Yu didn’t seem to mind it at all.
The only issue was her realization that Zhao Yu might mistakenly think she was Cao Ji Ji’s girlfriend.
This could be detrimental to pursuing a relationship with Zhao Yu. After all, there’s a difference between first-hand and second-hand goods.
Damn it, what am I thinking? I am first-hand goods, never had anything to do with Cao Ji Ji!
Liu Si Yu was telling herself to develop something with Zhao Yu. Perhaps this could be her chance to completely surpassed Huo Li Juan and reach the pinnacle of her life!
“Xiao Xiao, with your relationship with Zhao Yu, he will definitely prioritize protected you as an enhancer when facing monsters…”
“Yeah, we might all depend on you in the future…”
“Everyone’s too kind!”
“Although Zhao Yu and I are childhood friends, those monsters are so strong, he might not be able to injure one enough for me…”
“How could that be? Zhao Yu is a five-times enhancer. If even he can’t do it, no one else can!”
“Yeah, with Brother Yu being so strong, helping you become an enhancer should be easy for him!”
Qu Xiao Xiao remained silent, basking in the glory of the moment.
She felt joining the expedition was the right decision.
She had never enjoyed such treatment as with everyone around showing her so much affection.
In her eyes, the once prominent Huo Li Juan was only popular in their class.
Unlike her current self, who was admired not only in her class but also by students from several nearby classes.
This made her heady with pride.
Especially seeing Huo Li Juan and Liu Si Yu’s constipated expressions made her secretly thrilled.
Do you looked down on me now, huh?
Always bragging about being eighth-grade citizens?
Hmph!
What’s the use of being an eighth-grade citizen?
In front of me, a ninth-grade citizen, you can only endure!
If Qu Xiao Xiao had the strength, she would have loved to mock them.
But she wasn’t in a hurry, thinking once Zhao Yu helps her kill a monster and she becomes an enhancer, she’ll reclaim the insults she endured from Huo Li Juan and Liu Si Yu soon enough.
She planned to make Huo Li Juan grovel frist! To show her who’s the boss now!
Qu Xiao Xiao decided from then on to call Huo Li Juan ‘Little Juan’ and make her serve her.
Huo Li Juan knew once Qu Xiao Xiao gained power, she would seek revenge.
“I heard that when Zhao Yu confessed to Qu Xiao Xiao, she rejected him for being a ninth-grade citizen!”
