Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 - The Viper Girl's Illusion

Translated by Luxican

After that night, Sha Man hid the house, and didn't eat and drink for three days.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Yue Jing Hua returned from practice, but found that Sha Man was gone.

Qui Zi Zi had went into the forest carrying his bamboo basket.

Yue Jing Hua sighed, grinned, and reluctantly walked towards the inner court.

On a tree in the distance, Qui Zi Zi was holding a hookah in his hand, happily humming, with a sinister look on his face.

Today was an important day for Profound Pearl Imperial Academy.

The school competition of Profound Pearl Imperial Academy was held once a year. All students of Profound Jade Realm and below could participate. The winners of the last year couldn't participated this year's competition. The top eight of the individual competition and the top three of the pair competition could enter the Profound Technique Pavilion, and get a copy of a mysterious technique of their corresponding ranking.

Such rewards weren't a small temptation for the students of the whole school. This time, more than 100 students, including Liu Xi and Sha Lou, and the number one beauty of Po Lou City, Lie Si Si participated.

The sun was high in the sky, and the competition in the inner court was in full swing.

A fierce battle had just ended.

A slender figure jumped of the stage, her hair was not messy, her plain coat slightly moving in the wind, she raised her gentle smiling face, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Lie Si Si glanced at the stands, and after glimpsing a pair of blazing eyes, the corner of her mouth floated with a smile.

There were a lot of students watching the battles today. The reason for the male students was to observe the graceful female students on stage. As for the female students, it was to see and appeal to Fa Xiao Yi.

Everybody knew that Fa Xiao was fond of Lie Si Si, and made a special trip to support her.

"In the next fight, Sha Lou confronts Ding Yuan." As soon as the voice, fell a figure came out of the crowd and walked towards the stage.

The teacher of the inner court who presided over the competition was also stunned.

The unknown figure slowly stepped towards the stage, with every step the figure took Sha Lou's face grew paler: "What do you want to do, Sha Man?"

"Participate in the competition. Can't the students of the outer court participate? Or do you not dare fight against me?" The students of the outer court had always been free to enter the competition, but because of special circumstances the number of students there, had never exceeded three. So, they hadn't signed up to the competition for decades.

Under the stage, Liu Xi's face was not so good, he opened hid mouth to stop Sha Man, but when he thought of her appearance that night, Liu Xi felt sick again.

"You must be joking, I am the winner of the quarter-finals , and you're juts the waste of the outer court. Sha Man you must think that the powder of that night wasn't enough. Let the people all over the city know of your ugliness." Sha Lou glared with evil eyes, staring jealously at Sha Man's face that had already recovered.

Lie SI Si walked over to the teacher of the inner court surnamed Yao, and said softly: "Master Yao, this student from the outer court entered the inner court without permission. She neither participated in the earlier rounds nor does she have the recommendation of a teacher. If you agree to this battle, I'm afraid that it would attract great dissatisfaction in the inner court students."

The origin of Sha Man and the grievances between her and the mother and daughter of the Sha Family, everybody in Po Lou City had heard of it. Such things were not nice to listen to.

The teacher surnamed Yao heard this, and felt that it was reasonable, went to the stage and stood between the sisters of the Sha Family.

"Sha Man, the inner court welcomes outer court students to participate in the school competition, but the competition has already reached the quarter finals. You have not participated in the previous battles. If you directly enter the quarterfinals, it would be unfair to the other participants, please step down immediately, otherwise I will have to use force."

The other students also shouted: "Get down, get down immediately, the outer court's bunch of wastes, covet the inner court's metaphysics technique."

Without saying anything, Sha Man threw something at Teacher Yao. "This is enough to prove my qualifications."

The teacher surnamed Yao stared at the object and lost his voice.

"Wan Jun Hao is one of the quarter-finals participants. How could his waist card be in the hands of Sha Man?"

Wan Jun Hao's figure had long disappeared from the crowd.

Wan Jun Hao, had fought to the quarterfinals, and had proven his qualification.

Teacher Yao, announced that the competition between Sha Man and Sha Lou would commence.

"Wait a minute," Sha Man loudly shouted: "In this battle between me and Sha Lou, I will not use mysterious skills, but I have one condition, Sha Lou do you dare accept?"

"Sha Man, what else do you want?" Sha Lou looked around nervously. The appearance of the big snake had left a shadow on her heart. But in the inner court competition, she didn't need to be afraid of being killed by the big snake.

"I have only one condition, to pay for my mother's life," after Qui Zi Zi had told that story, it was like she was splashed with cold water and finally woke up.

Thinking of the tragic death of her mother, and thinking of Liu Xi's hypocritical character, her heart felt cold.

Kowtow apologizing, how could that be enough, it was barely the first step.

Sha Lou could feel something cold on her spine.

"Snake!" Sha Lou screamed, and grabbed a small green snake.

On the platform, in a moment, all kinds of snakes were crawling. But the crowd could not see anything.

Sha Man's long hair moved with the wind, just like the mythical Gorgon, Sha Lou was surrounded by countless little snakes.

"Teacher, save me," Sha Lou's voice sounded, and the students watching looked at each other.

They only saw Sha Lou crying and crawling on the ground madly, shouting for her father and mother, but the competition platform was nothing.

"Gorgon's Illusion, unexpectedly Sha Man of the outer court learned such a superb illusion technique," the teacher surnamed Yao was surprised. The Gorgon's Illusion was a kind of illusion, that would lead people to believe they were in a snake cave.

It was ironic, Sha Man's mother died in the Hundred Bugs Pit, and today, Sha Lou went crazy in the environment of a Snake Cave.

Sha Lou finally fainted and was carried off the stage.

"Next," Sha Man smiled brightly, and looked into the crowd before she finally found where Liu Xi was.

"Sha Man, just now you used a fantastic illusion. I just so happen to also know some illusions. It would be better for me to fight you on behalf of the inner court." Lie Si Si had stepped onto the competition stage.

Her appearance immediately attracted a wave of support from the students.

"Show the shit of the outer court who is boss!"

"Miss Si Si, let that poisonous woman roll from the inner court!"

To be defeated by an outer court student was a serious insult to the inner court students.

These young people of better background also thought, that Sha Man was just the bastard of a servant girl.

The students of the outer court, who were called wastes, actually dared to come pick a fight in the inner court.

Sha Man frowned. Lie Si Si practiced the Fire Profound Qi, which was the absolute bane of snakes and insects. What's more she, also knew some illusion techniques.

Just as Sha Man was hesitating, a lazy voice drifted into the ears of Lie Si Si and the hundreds of inner court students present.

"I thought the inner court was so great. Turns out, they just like to engage in ganging up on people and bullying the weak."
