Chapter 51 - A Single Step (1/2)

Huang Yu and Gu Yue walked side by side through the forest in relative silence. The two of them had many words to say, but somehow, the silence communicated better than words ever could.

Gu Yue had a beautiful smile on her face throughout all of it. Walking next to him, she felt as if she was on top of the world at this moment.

Every step they took seemed to accelerate her heartbeat when she was next to him. Despite that, Gu Yue didn't dislike it.

In fact, she liked it quite a bit.

Is this what humans called liking someone?

She had come to the human world in order to learn about humans to learn them. From what she had seen initially, she couldn't understand why most humans would only choose one person for life. Wouldn't it be better if they had more partners so that they could spread their genes?

However, at this moment, she had realised exactly why.

This feeling she felt when she was with him, it was something special, something beautiful that she didn't want to lose.

And she would never want to share it with someone else.

The trees rustled as a gentle breeze blew across the forest. Pulses of spiritual energy from battles in the vicinity came in their direction, breaking the two of them out of their silence.

This little disturbance annoyed Gu Yue a tiny bit, but it didn't even so much as cause a dent to her amazing mood, being forgotten as if it was the passing wind.

Both of them weren't planning on being the class president anyways. There was no reason for them to be serious about this little mock battle.

”Gu Yue,” Huang Yu suddenly called out at this time.

”Yes?”

”Let's leave shall we? While I would love for us to stay here for a while longer, I don't think there are many people left.”

Gu Yue gave a nod. ”Okay.”

In a flash, the both of them disappeared from the forest that they were in.

The doors to two cabins side-by-side one another opened at the same time. The two who came out were naturally Huang Yu and Gu Yue respectively.

The moment most of the students saw them, or rather Huang Yu, a look of fear and surprise appeared on their faces.

That person was a deviant! He had run around eliminating most of the students in the class by himself! Not only that, he had clearly been fooling around the entire time, clearly not putting them in his eyes.

Who was the monster who could eliminate a devil like Huang Yu? It definitely couldn't be the girl next to him. She was very clearly his teammate from the interactions they had seen between them.

Could it be Hell Wu Siduo? She was a powerhouse at the ninth rank of the Genius Youth's Rankings. If it was her, it may not be that far-fetched.

However, Zheng Yiran and Xu Yucheng knew better. They had seen first-hand how strong Wu Siduo was, and it was clear to them that she definitely wasn't a match for him.

In that case, was there a hidden tiger inside their class pretending to be a pig?

Or perhaps it was the even more scary option…

He had left the platform of his own accord since he disdained to lead them.

Throughout all these speculations, Gu Yue turned to Huang Yu with a raised eyebrow. ”So…”

A wry expression appeared on Huang Yu's face. ”Don't say it.”

Soft laughter emerged from Gu Yue's lips as she heard those words. She paused for a bit, mustering up a bit of courage before she went through with her actions.
