10: Chapter 10 Legs for a Day? The Beautiful Counselor's Personal Bodyguard!

Jiangbei University, school entrance.

It was currently dusk, the setting sun like blood.

The entire campus was dyed a bleak, crimson red.

The ivory tower, which should have been full of youthful vitality, now had its gates tightly shut, with long cordons of caution tape set up.

Over a dozen Special Police officers, armed with live ammunition, stood guard at the entrance with solemn expressions, strictly forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, as if some ferocious beast were imprisoned within those towering walls.

Outside the cordon, an anxious figure stood.

It was a woman.

She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, the most mature and charming stage for a woman, like a ripe peach that could yield juice with just a slight squeeze.

She wore a white professional shirt and a black hip-hugging skirt on her lower half, which outlined her already exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio in a heart-stopping way.

Especially those legs.

Slender, straight, and rounded.

Wrapped in black stockings as thin as cicada wings, they shimmered with a faint luster; they were truly the standard 'legs for days' variety.

Her name was Ye Yuqing, a Counselor at Jiangbei University and the liaison responsible for receiving the Exorcist Great Master.

“Why hasn't he arrived yet... It's already this late. If it gets dark, it'll be troublesome...”

Ye Yuqing kept checking the watch on her wrist, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety.

The things that had happened at the school over the past two days were too terrifying, especially those few incidents of jumping off buildings. She had witnessed the gruesome scenes with her own eyes; now, whenever she closed them, she saw blood all over the ground.

Just then.

A taxi drifted and came to a steady stop

at the school entrance.

The car door opened, and Su Yang stepped out leisurely.

“Keep the change, driver.”

Su Yang tossed a hundred-yuan bill to the driver and turned to look at the university shrouded in Yin Qi.

“Tsk tsk, such thick Resentment. It looks like I'll be able to have a full meal this time.”

“Master, the scent here... I like it very much.”

Su Qingcheng, hidden within the jade pendant, sent a voice transmission, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.

Su Yang straightened his clothes and walked straight toward the cordon.

“Halt! What are you doing?!”

Before he could get close, two Special Police officers stepped forward to block him, their gazes wary.

“The school is under lockdown. Unrelated personnel, leave immediately!”

Before Su Yang could speak, Ye Yuqing, who was nearby, heard the commotion and hurried over.

When she saw Su Yang's excessively young face and his casual attire, the expectation in her eyes instantly turned to disappointment.

“Um... student, the school is on holiday now, and there’s... renovations going on inside. Go home quickly, don't linger here.”

Ye Yuqing mistook Su Yang for an uninformed returning student and kindly advised him.

Su Yang looked at the curvaceous older-sister Counselor before him, his gaze quite dishonest as it swept over her black-stocking-clad thighs.

“Teacher, do renovations require a cordon? And Special Police on guard?”

Su Yang looked at her with a half-smile, “Your renovation style is quite hardcore.”

Stared at by Su Yang's burning gaze, Ye Yuqing felt uneasy all over, as if she were being seen through, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

“This... this is a school secret! Anyway, just leave quickly, it's very dangerous here!”

“Dangerous? How dangerous?”

Su Yang took a step forward, instantly closing the distance between them. He could even smell the faint, delicate fragrance coming from Ye Yuqing.

“Is there a ghost?”

Hearing the word 'ghost,' Ye Yuqing's whole body trembled, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.

“You... what do you know?”

Su Yang stopped teasing her and directly took out his phone, showing the page where he had accepted the mission.

“I'm here for the bounty.”

“Let me introduce myself: Su Yang, part-time Exorcist.”

“You? An Exorcist?!”

Ye Yuqing's beautiful eyes widened as she looked Su Yang up and down, her face full of disbelief.

In her impression, weren't those masters all Old Daoist Priests with an immortal air, or high monks holding Magical Artifacts?

This little handsome guy before her, who looked more like a student than her own students—he was going to catch ghosts? He'd be more suited for food delivery!

“What? Is Teacher Ye judging a book by its cover?”

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, “Who says an Exorcist can't be handsome?”

“No... that's not it...”

Ye Yuqing stammered. Although she didn't believe it for a second, she was now in a position where she had to try anything.

“Then... then follow me in. But let me warn you upfront, it's really dangerous inside. The previous masters have all... all lost contact. If you're scared, it's not too late to leave now.”

“Leave? That won't do.”

Su Yang grinned, his gaze falling once more on Ye Yuqing's tight hip-hugging skirt.

“With a beautiful woman like Teacher Ye accompanying me, even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I have to give it a go.”

“You...”

Ye Yuqing's face turned even redder. How could this person be so improper?

But for some reason, looking at Su Yang's confident smile, the fear in her heart actually dissipated somewhat.

“Follow me, then. The principal and the others are all waiting in the Administration Building.”

Ye Yuqing sighed and turned to lead the way.

The two of them walked into the campus, one behind the other.

As soon as they stepped through the school gate, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped several degrees, and the once sweltering air became bone-chillingly cold.

The sky seemed to darken all at once, and the streetlights flickered dimly like ghost fires.

Ye Yuqing subconsciously hugged her arms, her steps trembling slightly.

Su Yang walked behind, admiring the graceful figure ahead.

As Ye Yuqing walked, her peach-like buttocks, tightly wrapped in the skirt, swayed from side to side, tracing alluring curves, while her black-stockinged legs drew countless gazes.

“Master, have you seen enough?”

Su Qingcheng's faint voice came from his mind, “Do you want me to come out and lift her skirt for you to see?”

“Ahem, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person? I'm observing whether there's a ghost possessing her!”

Su Yang spoke nonsense with a straight face.

Just as the two of them walked near the Female Dormitory Building.

“Waa—waa—”

A series of shrill infant cries suddenly came from overhead!

The sound was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching a blackboard, drilling straight into the brain.

“Ah!”

Ye Yuqing screamed in fright, her legs going weak as she collapsed onto the ground.

She looked up in terror.

She saw a long-haired girl in a white dress standing on the top-floor balcony of the female dormitory, though she hadn't known when the girl arrived.

The girl held a bloody swaddling cloth in her arms and was walking step by step toward the edge of the balcony.

“Jumping... someone's jumping again!”

Ye Yuqing covered her mouth, tears instantly gushing out as she shouted in despair: “Student! Don't jump! Come back quickly!”

But it was completely useless.

The girl seemed to be controlled by something; her movements were stiff, and she leaped without hesitation!

Whoosh—

The white figure fell straight down like a kite with a broken string!

This was the sixth floor!

Jumping from there meant certain death!

“It's over...”

Ye Yuqing closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight of the bloody scene.

However.

The expected sound of a heavy object hitting the ground did not come.

“Teacher Ye, open your eyes and see, is this the student you're looking for?”

A lazy voice sounded in her ear.

Ye Yuqing opened her eyes tremulously.

In the next second, she was completely stunned, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit two sausages.

She saw Su Yang standing not far from her, one hand in his pocket.

And his other hand was steadily supporting the girl who had jumped!

Although the girl was unconscious, she was completely unharmed!

How was that possible?!

How massive was the impact of jumping from the sixth floor?

He had actually caught her with one hand?

And there wasn't even a crack in the concrete ground beneath his feet?

Was this something a human could do?!

“This... this...”

Ye Yuqing looked at Su Yang's relaxed and easy manner, her mind a complete blank.

Su Yang casually placed the girl on the ground, clapped his hands, and then walked over to the still-dazed Ye Yuqing with a wicked smile on his lips.

“Teacher Ye, the ground is cold; it's not good for a woman's... that place.”

“Do you want me to carry you up?”
