Chapter 155: Ghost in the Magic World - Beginning

Xiang Kui felt irritable.

Even though she knew that the system was not the one who arranged for her to come here, but it was undeniable that she was the one who suffered in the end. She really need to have a good talk with this system that liked to pit its host.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Kui calmed down.

Right now, she’s Shang Kui.

This meant that she had to act in accordance to her role and didn’t do anything that could possibly ruin her character.

So ’Shang Kui’ trembled and didn’t dare to look at Shang Su’s direction, but she still replied, "I will partner with someone else."

"Someone else? Who would want to stay in the same group with a waste like you?" Shang Su looked at Shang Kui with clear mockery on his face.

Such a waste like Shang Kui doesn’t deserve to be paired with anyone else.

Besides...

Unless they have a big hole on their brain, no one would agree to pair up with Shang Kui. They would only end up losing their match and humiliate themselves.

"I...I’ll find someone." Shang Kui lowered her head, making sure that Shang Su couldn’t see her face.

Her acting skills have never been that good and Xiang Kui knew that while she’s acting as Shang Kui, it’s better not to show her real face.

"Tsk. You’re such a trouble." Shang Su raised his hand, wanting to attack once more, but at this moment, he saw the elder had already arrived and he lowered his hand. He could beat Shang Kui during training and no one would say anything.

But if he dared to beat Shang Kui arbitrarily outside the training grounds, the elders will punish him.

Shang Kui’s father might be disappointed in his daughter.

But he’s still the Shang Family Head and he didn’t want his status to be challenged by other people, especially by his own nephew.

So Shang Su had to hold back.

Xiang Kui’s eyes flickered when she saw this but she stayed still on her place.

"Shang Su, Shang Kui, what are you two doing here?" Shang Family Head looked at the two children with frown. "Isn’t it already time for your training?"

"Uncle, we’re discussing about the graduation team and Shang Kui said that she will arrange her own group," Shang Su immediately reported what Shang Kui said to him not long ago.

Shang Family Head frowned when he heard this and he looked at Shang Kui in front of him. There was an invisible pressure emanating from him when he stared at his own daughter that seemed to be both intentional and unintentional.

All Xiang Kui knew is that she felt even greater pressure than when she faced Shang Su just now.

Not only that.

Her own body trembled involuntarily, which should have been the reflex reaction.

It’s fear towards Shang Family Head.

A daughter is afraid of her own father.

Heh.

"Yes, Father," Xiang Kui replied in a low voice and avoided looking directly at Shang Family Head. Otherwise, she would really want to land a punch on the man’s face just because of the instinctive reaction left on her body. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Shang Family Head frowned.

His daughter is always timid and didn’t seem to have any opinion on her own, which made him utterly disappointed.

Today, she unexpectedly asked for something.

But...

Her way of asking is really a disappointment for him.

Xiang Kui: "..."

Did she play Shang Kui wrongly?

Inside her heart, Xiang Kui was depressed.

After playing arrogant woman for three different worlds, it seemed that she had somehow incorporated the lawlessness from those period of times into her bones. Now that she has to play someone so different, Xiang Kui realized that her acting had dropped a few notch.

It seemed that she had to get used to this identity as soon as possible.

The mission she has in this world didn’t seem to be that simple...

"Forget it. If she doesn’t want to, you can pick your own teammate, Shang Su." Shang Family Head glanced at his silent daughter and shook his head, not expecting anything from this useless daughter of his.

Shang Su’s eyes lit up when he heard Shang Family Head’s words.

He had his own circle of friends and they made an agreement to go together.

Since he had obtained Shang Family Head’s permission, then Shang Su directly agreed and then run away as fast as possible.

"He’s really lively." The elder shook his head when he saw Shang Su’s appearance.

"It’s better than being useless." Shang Family Head looked at his daughter and shook his head in disappointment as he walked away without looking in her direction even for a second longer.

Xiang Kui pursed her lips.

She could fell a faint dull pain in her chest when she heard Shang Family Head’s words and watched him leaving.

This was the lingering feeling of the real Shang Kui.

She worked hard in order to gain her father’s approval...

But she didn’t get it even until her death.

So this time, Shang Kui didn’t want the Shang Family Head’s approval and wanted to live by herself. But for her to be able to do that, she had to be able to live on her own first.

Shang Family Head left with the elders.

They chatted happily about Shang Xiyue as usual because she’s the hope of the Shang Family.

The genius that had been anticipated by the entire family.

"Ah..."

Xiang Kui straightened her posture and then stretched her hand. She looked around at the somewhat dilapidated and empty courtyard with pursed lips. Based on Shang Kui’s memory, she knew that the world’s development was a bit skewed.

There were electricity but no surveillance cameras.

There were medical devices but people often relied on magic to heal.

And so on.

It was a strange world.

Forget it.

It’s more important for her to check her body first.

With Shang Kui’s talent, how did her control become so bad?
