Chapter Five, The Girl Next Door

The response from the electric ghost made Fang Linkong feel even stranger, as if everything had been planned in advance. "Could it be that they knew Ding Qingya would say this for sure and had already planned it out?"

Great! Miss Ding can attend, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Let's go together; we have just rented a car.

Cen Xiaoying was confident that among all the students in the school, even those she did not know would still leave some impression on her. However, among the four boys in front of her, apart from Fang Linkong, whom she recognized, she realized that she had never seen the other three before.

Fire Demon and Electric Ghost both have striking appearances, one cool and the other quirky. Even Ding Qingya, who was originally teased by the three and felt a bit embarrassed, couldn't help but glance at them a few more times

Today is a disaster, I can only rely on you. Darling, change!

As soon as I got off the car, it was as if the meeting point had been arranged. Three very distinctive individuals were waiting by the bus station. This place is quite a distance from Fang Lin and their school. Clearly, this is not a coincidence

Old Fang, not bad! We have only been apart for one night, and you have made such great progress

Cen Xiaoying smiled and waved slightly, and three girls came up in succession to greet Fang Linkong and the others

Although Fang Lin Kong enjoys talking nonsense, today he is feeling particularly unwell. Coupled with the fact that he has always heard that Ding Qingya is not easy to deal with, every frog prince who wishes to indulge in swan meat ends up in a miserable fate. Therefore, he is unusually listless while waiting for the bus

"Even this has been calculated, they must be up to something," Fang Lin looked suspiciously at the three unfamiliar old friends. Aside from Huo Qi, who innocently pouted, Feng Jian showed not even a hint of expression. Only Dian Gui shot a fierce glare back, conveying the message: "You better behave and follow our arrangements"

Fang Linkong, although quite well-known in school, does not seek the spotlight and rarely participates in group activities. In the eyes of most classmates, Fang Linkong is undoubtedly an outsider. His academic performance is neither particularly good nor bad, and he occasionally shines in a single subject. Aside from chatting aimlessly with a few friends, he is not involved in sports activities at all. At least Ding Qingya has seen Fang Linkong many times during group clean-up sessions, wandering off to idle around.

Fang Lin Kong's expression changed drastically upon seeing the three of them. He spoke without considering Ding Qingya, who was beside him.

Do not speak carelessly, it is merely a coincidence

Goodness! What kind of monster is this? I have never heard of it before. This time, I have suffered a loss... Feeling the rapid depletion of the demonic energy within him, Bai Jingsheng regretted his recklessness, yet he was not entirely at a loss. Although Li Bing's ice spider silk was formidable, Bai Jingsheng had managed to stand out among the hundreds of thousands of members of the International Demon Alliance, even surpassing many powerful demons with several times his cultivation years, which naturally indicated his own unique skills.

Forget it, these troubles should soon be taken over by someone else

Fang Linkong's first sentence just now carried a hint of a rogue flavor. However, seeing the interaction between Fang Linkong and the library, Ding Qingya was certain that it was merely this person's usual sharp tongue. In reality, there was no ulterior motive in joking with her. Fang Linkong was just speaking, and naturally, Ding Qingya would not take the initiative to engage in conversation. Yet, looking at Fang Linkong, her heart raced wildly. Occasionally stealing a glance at him, she would quickly turn her head away, pretending to be completely indifferent. Unfortunately, the careless Fang Linkong did not notice Ding Qingya's unusual behavior at all.

Originally tightly grasping the crystal trident in hand, it was exquisite and transparent throughout. The design was inspired by the powerful comics from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which Bai Jingsheng had always admired. Most importantly, this was the very weapon wielded by Poseidon, the great god who controls the ocean in Greek mythology. Bai Jingsheng always felt that holding this crystal trident made him appear much more imposing. As for its power, that was secondary.

Letting go of the bloodthirsty state caused by the recent battle, Li Bing smiled wryly: "It seems that after all this time of cultivation, I am still unable to break free from this shell; my state of mind is still insufficient!"

Such a significant incident occurred at home, yet Fang Linkong's parents remained quite open-minded. They simply gave him a few instructions before heading off to work. Both of Fang Linkong's parents have decent jobs, and they can still manage financially in light of this unexpected fire.

Sister Cen! We are just going out to have some fun, there’s no need to nitpick at others so much! Our group isn’t recruiting new members." Ding Qingya said sweetly while hugging Cen Xiaoying's arm. That expression was truly adorable

Just like the little girl Lu Jiajia with her round face was surprised. There were quite a few types of food on the vehicle. As for the source, Fang Linkong believed that as long as he looked at today's morning newspaper to see which supermarket had been robbed, he would understand.

In fact, Cen Xiaoying was also quite surprised as to why Ding Qingya, who had always ignored boys, would say she wanted to go out and have fun with these boys. Fang Linkong was unaware, but Cen Xiaoying knew that Ding Qingya had always had feelings for Fang Linkong. This private matter was known only to the five of them. A smile played on Cen Xiaoying's lips as she pondered what this situation represented.

Due to the hurried nature of renting the house, Fang Lin Kong took some time to find the bus stop after leaving his new home. What surprised him immensely was that he saw Ding Qingya also waiting for the bus

Did someone just say that they came here specifically to wait for me to go to school together? Am I not giving you a great opportunity? Make sure to seize it well

The girl who is speaking is Cen Xiaoying, whom Fang Linkong is most worried about. In fact, in his school, everyone recognizes this tall, short-haired, beautiful girl. If they were to select a school beauty in high school, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that this long-legged beauty would be the one chosen

While Fang Linkong was desperately organizing his thoughts, Ding Qingya had already taken out her phone and made a call. After listening for a while, Fang Linkong suddenly realized that today was the opening ceremony. Instead of sitting there obediently and being bored for an entire morning, it would be better to sneak away and have some fun. Ding Qingya had already made plans with several girls from school to go swimming today. Fang Linkong and the others could only say it was a fortunate coincidence. Ding Qingya had already made plans with several girls from school to go swimming today. Fang Linkong and the others could only say it was a fortunate coincidence

Well! The body is in good shape. Can you endure an hour of high-intensity exercise? Do you have any dancing experience? Just looking cool is not enough without real skills

Kazama is dressed like a handsome man, and it is unknown which department store he went to rob in the middle of the night. In any case, Fang Lin Kong can be certain that Chen Mingbin did not originally have this flashy outfit. Even his hair has grown half an inch overnight, cascading down, perfectly mimicking the style of Japanese and Korean stars.

Hmm! Zhang Qian? Fang Linkong searched his mind thoroughly but did not know whether he had ever met this girl. He had not yet reached the point of being familiar with all the students in the school. Of course, he was familiar with the students in his own class. As for other classes, apart from a few particularly famous ones, Fang Linkong did not recognize many.

Fang Lin recalled what had happened last night, fearing that Cen Xiaoying might inadvertently let it slip. As Cen Xiaoying's gaze shifted towards him, Fang Lin immediately became tense, secretly sweating in the palms of his hands

This year, Cen Xiaoying, a senior in high school, is not only beautiful and academically accomplished, but also a skilled sanda practitioner and an officer in the student council. She has always been highly regarded among both male and female students in the school. The small group formed by Ding Qingya and her friends is entirely under Cen Xiaoying's influence

However, Cen Xiaoying clearly had no intention of exposing this matter; she merely cast a smiling glance at Fang Linkong and then gently let him off the hook

Li Bing stood on the surface of the sea, rendered both amused and exasperated by the myriad tricks of the beluga whale. Clearly, this young man possessed some means of concealing his demonic aura, making it impossible for him to be detected, thus hindering any further pursuit.

Without any surprise, Ding Qingya also noticed him and greeted Fang Linkong with a look of astonishment. This morning, Ding Qingya was dressed in a long-sleeved casual outfit, with white jeans on the lower half. It perfectly highlighted the exquisite and graceful curves of a youthful girl.

"Hey, Ding! Don't you think that attending school together might lead to misunderstandings circulating? To put an end to rumors, you should also consider changing your seat."

Oh! Ding Qingya, it seems you have been well-prepared, even having the car ready. Hmm! Hmm! There is a conspiracy!

Although Fang Lin Kong usually teases girls a bit, he has never formally invited one. If Ding Qingya had said this at another time, he might have been as happy as if he had found ten thousand yuan. However, now he cannot feel excited; he just stares blankly at Ding Qingya, momentarily forgetting how to refuse.

Lu Jiajia, this is the first time I have seen such a cool senior!

The icy chill coursed through the body, and the protective aura of the white whale was quickly breached

I am Jie Lili, Fang Linkong need not pretend any longer, for you certainly recognize me

A faint mist of ice transitioned from solid to ethereal, and Li Bing had already vanished from the spot

As she circled around the four individuals, Cen Xiaoying resembled a personnel officer from a major publishing company, selecting new employees. In reality, her gaze kept drifting towards Ding Qingya, and soon enough, she noticed Ding Qingya's reaction.

Fang Linkong stood in the room, drenched in sweat. After his parents returned home and faced the tragic scene in the house, they immediately called the police. The household appliances damaged by the fire before they left had caused a small fire. Essentially, there was nothing left in Fang Linkong's home.

As the largest animal in the ocean, the beluga whale possesses unique insights into diving. After breaking through Li Bing's ice silk to search for souls, it escapes into the water, traveling thousands of miles.

Fang Linkong tilted his head, and now he was completely devoid of mood. Ding Qingya's expression appeared neither good nor bad, but for Fang Linkong, this was clear evidence of her poor emotional state. He did not dare to say a word until they got out of the car

If we continue, I have at most a 30% chance of winning. The probability of death is too high. Let's retreat for now and come back to settle this once we have gathered our brothers.

What else do you want to do today? There won't be any more changes, will there?

A family of three hurriedly changed their residence. After a long day of fatigue, Fang Lin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He reflected on the events of the day, and it was not until midnight that he finally drifted off into a drowsy slumber

Huo Qi blinked and smiled as he greeted Ding Qingya, saying: "We are going swimming with Fang Linkong, preparing to skip class. He cannot accompany Miss Ding to school, and I sincerely apologize for that. As his brother, I am here to apologize on his behalf."

Fang Lin waited gloomily for the bus to arrive, casually swiping his IC card twice. It was only after he sat down that he realized he had unconsciously bought a ticket for Ding Qingya.

Hmm! Everyone has gotten on the car. Chen Mingbin borrowed a car, which is just convenient for going out. Fang Linkong's mind flashed through three distinct yet very beautiful faces, and he suddenly felt that these girls seemed to be quite interested in him. Each person greeted him while turning back to glance at Ding Qingya, their expressions strange, as if they were trying to suppress laughter.

Fang Lin Kong did not dare to look around carelessly, fearing he would be seen as lewd. He replied irritably, "Classmate Ding, you are quite gossipy! I am not here to pursue you; I came to school with you early in the morning, didn’t I? But how do you know where I live? I don’t recall telling you!"

Fang Lin Kong, how did you end up here? Isn't your home on Tongrong Road?

Ah! I also heard it from others, um... it was Zhang Qian who said it

"Oh! Isn't this the DuDu street dance group from school?" Remembering the incident last night when I and Li Bing sneaked into Cen Xiaoying's house, Fang Linkong had originally wanted to forget it, but it seems that this matter has not yet passed.

Li Bing's innate attribute is that of a being imbued with extreme cold and malevolent energy. Since achieving mastery in his cultivation, the ice threads he expels possess the ability to capture the essence and souls of others. When combined with the unique techniques he has developed, he can refine these absorbed essences to replenish his own vital energy

The whispers of five women and the literature student barely registered in Fang Linkong's mind, as he did not retain them. The car that Kazama and the others brought was surprisingly a luxurious bus with a seating capacity of forty. Moreover, Fang Linkong unexpectedly saw the emblem of the city's top-tier football team, clearly indicating the identity of those from whom Kazama and his group had borrowed the luxurious bus.

What exactly is the Electric Ghost trying to do? Is it part of your mission to get involved with them? The more Fang Linkong thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. Being with beautiful women, especially in a swimming scenario, is a dream for every man. At another time, Fang Linkong would have secretly drooled over it. However, after the events of yesterday, coupled with the suspicious backgrounds of the three individuals around him, Fang Linkong's mind was in a whirl, entangled in pondering the sequence of events and possible changes. Yet again, after the events of yesterday, coupled with the suspicious backgrounds of the three individuals around him, Fang Linkong's mind was in a whirl, entangled in pondering the sequence of events and possible changes.

The other party, Lin Kong, was clearly talking nonsense, yet Ding Qingya showed no reaction at all. Instead, she was blushing and endlessly justifying the words she had let slip.

Water molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen, and when separated, they become one of the most powerful explosive substances. Old monster, you should study modern chemistry well in your next life!

Oh! Ding Qingya, where did you find such a handsome group? Are you planning to have them as backup dancers for our next competition? Tsk tsk! You have quite an eye for talent! Their styles are all quite unique!

Um! Um..." Fang Linkong nodded vigorously, returning the greetings one by one. He was afraid that if he moved even slightly slower, Cen Xiaoying would expose the embarrassing incident from last night. Apart from the sweet-looking Lu Jiajia, who was in the first year of high school, Zhang He and Xie Lili were in the same grade as Fang Linkong. They often ran into each other on campus. As for Xie Lili, Fang Linkong indeed recognized her and was quite familiar with her, as she was his classmate from middle school. They often ran into each other on campus.

The white whale's mind was turning rapidly, and it soon realized that there was no benefit in continuing to fight head-on. "Crystal trident, explode for me!"

"That's not right! This situation is completely illogical!" He suddenly sat up, the sunlight piercing his eyes. Fang Lin Kong then realized that he had been dreaming about yesterday's events. His family was so unfortunate, and he had indeed been hunted down. But why were those three guys not worried at all except during that time? They seemed to have everything under control long ago.

Since the rise of some Korean and Japanese music, coupled with the popularity of the Taiwanese drama "Meteor Garden," small groups of a few individuals have become quite prevalent in schools. Among them, some are particularly talented in singing and dancing, often going in and out together, with their clothing and styles reflecting their individuality

Perhaps someone has deliberately arranged an opportunity for us to meet a certain person! Sister Ding is quite astute

Zhang He, I look forward to your guidance

Swimming? Fang Lin knew that today would definitely not be just about swimming. Considering his own personal safety, he was about to ask for clarification. However, he did not expect to hear a delicate voice beside him that nearly made him drop his jaw: "If it's swimming, I would like to go too. How about we go together?"

In Fang Linkong's incredulous gaze, Ding Qingya pushed aside Fang Linkong's thigh and sat down in the seat next to him

Although the strength of Bai Jingsheng is rapidly increasing, there is still a significant gap in the years of cultivation between the two. When Li Bing unleashed the Soul-Searching Ice Silk, Bai Jingsheng was like a small fish caught in a fishing net, instantly struggling without success

Ding Qingya, Cen Xiaoying, and three other girls formed a street dance group that is not only quite famous in their high school but has also won awards from various television stations. They are the ultimate goal that many boys eagerly approach. Today, the five of them clearly have a tacit understanding, all dressed in white jeans and long-sleeved casual tops. Just now, Fang Linkong did not pay close attention to Ding Qingya's outfit, but now it seems that these five girls even coordinated the style of their shoes. It is impossible for such five outstanding girls not to attract attention. Just now, Fang Linkong did not pay close attention to Ding Qingya's outfit, but now it seems that these five girls even coordinated the style of their shoes. It is impossible for such five outstanding girls not to attract attention.

The crystal trident is formed from the essence of the beluga whale, coalesced from water of extremely high purity. Modern scientific theories indicate that the surface tension of pure water is hundreds of times that of steel. However, due to the solubility of water, high-purity water does not exist in nature. Furthermore, there are no technological means to manufacture items using high-purity water

Li Bing was about to retract the ice silk when, with a sudden pull, he discovered that the white whale had transformed the crystal trident in his hand into a layer of water curtain, forcefully propping up his web. Before he could exert more force, the white whale let out a loud roar, and the water curtain formed by the crystal trident underwent a drastic change, unleashing an immense and unparalleled explosive force that rapidly spread out. Even Li Bing could not withstand such intense vibrations and hurriedly retreated, using his energy to avoid the explosion.

What a coincidence! It seems they have even prepared snacks in the car, tsk tsk! Could it be? They even surveyed my favorite flavor. It really is quite suspicious...

Fang Lin Kong was indeed very hesitant about whether to attend class. However, he did not know what else to do if he did not go to school, so he thought it would be better to be in a familiar environment.

Fang Lin Kong did not sleep well all night and now just wants to take a nap. It is rare to have a seat to himself, yet he has given away half of it, which makes him feel somewhat reluctant.

However, the white whale is a monster, and there are things that technology cannot achieve; magic may not necessarily be able to accomplish them either. This crystal trident is composed of high-purity water.

Fang Linkong increasingly felt that the situation might not be so simple. It was as if, in the depths of the unknown, there was someone watching him and laughing at his predicament. This strange feeling lingered in Fang Linkong's mind.

Fang Linkong, who usually prides himself on being quick-witted, found himself at a loss for words at this moment, unable to articulate even a few decent sentences

Students go to school earlier than office workers, and there are many empty seats on the bus. Fang Lin was just thinking of taking a double seat to lie down and catch up on some sleep when unexpectedly, Ding Qingya walked over and actually slapped his thigh, speaking in a very unfriendly tone: "Don't be so inconsiderate, let it go!"

Fang Lin's father was quite straightforward. After tidying up a bit, he found a newspaper to look for rental information. After a few phone calls, he led his son and daughter-in-law to rent a room, preparing to settle in that evening
