Chapter 9: The Useless People’s Group

Slowly, I reached the exquisite, spacious corridor bridge I saw from Xuanyuan Chen’s flying car from earlier when I arrived. This was a bridge connected to the campus, and below it was a sea of endless clouds! My legs shivered as I walked on it.    

When I looked on the wall, I saw a few pictures hanging on them like the photos of scientists in my school. I didn’t recognize any of them, but they were all good looking. 

Then, I arrived in front of a portrait of a woman, and I stopped for a moment. The woman in the picture looked familiar, and affection bloomed in my heart. 

The woman had long, straight black hair, a goose-egg face, arched eyebrows, and beautiful eyes. Although she wasn’t as beautiful as the big sister earlier, this lady in the picture gave me an indescribable sense of comfort.  

Who is this?

There were a lot of women in the portraits here, all of them must be goddesses from the immortal world. They were all beautiful to the core. But only this one woman made me feel intimacy, and as I stood  in front of her, I didn’t want to leave. Her eyes were so  beautiful… as if they were watching me… the gaze was so gentle… It made me think of my mother.   

I touched the pendant on my chest. Why did this woman remind me of my mother? Who was this? Was this woman a relative of my mother?

Glancing at her name, I checked it. My mom’s name was ordinary—Wang ping. This person’s name was Ren Ying, their surname was different. This woman was also much more beautiful than my mum, and at a glance, I knew she was a goddess.

“Welcome to our hut, but you must be a demon. ~~~~”

“Aqua members look here ~~~~”

“If you want to live here, show your skills!”

“This palace only takes beautiful boys.”

“……”

And so on and so forth.

Then it finally dawned on me! What would it take for a dorm to take me in their group? It turned out that the dorms here were like those fraternities on Earth inside foreign universities. They must accept you before you could join! 

It was over for me! How could I get into those houses? I’m a mortal, and even if I jumped, I wouldn’t be able to reach them. 

Oh, yes! I think I saw one!

At the bottom of all the houses, at the very center, I saw a ramshackle house, it was unusual. The house was the only one on the ground! 

This house stood out as this was the only one beneath those pyramid-shaped houses. All the other houses were in the sky, and this was the only one on the ground. It seemed it had a nice, big garden.   

Taking a deep breath, I went to the house. Even if it was haunted, I would live in it! I took a big step forward, walking to the ramshackle door.  

The house looked shabby, but it was clean and there were no welcome signs or banners around.

I went up to the door and tapped on it, “Tap, tap, tap!”

“Is anyone there -“

“Creak-” The door opened a crack, revealing an eye that I instantly recognised, “Si Yinou!”

The eye immediately opened to its fullest. Then the door opened and three other boys appeared!

Eh! There were only boys here!

The boys behind Si Yinou looked really… extraordinarily unique…

The one on the left side was tall with a slender body, and he looked like he had been anemic for a long time. It was so bad that it affected what should have been a handsome face, and the color of his eyes were green. But I wasn’t bothered about it because I had seen so many demons and gods.  

A  smally, stud ruby was attached on his left ear which was the only color on him, and his entire body. The boy held a bag of red drink in his right hand, and he was drinking it.   

Next to him was a boy with a completely green face… How did the boys in this room change color? His pupils were very pretty, they were golden. However, he had messy green hair. They were like a bunch of weeds growing on his head, looking like a bird’s nest on his head.  

This boy was odd looking, but the good thing was that his features were handsome, so he didn’t look like a green-faced fanged person, which was acceptable, and you could still think he was quite nice after looking at him for a long time.

The last one was a brown man! He had a thick beard on his face and his eyebrows were so long they hung down. He looked like a chenille’s face, plus his eyes were turquoise blue, so he looked even more like that!

I was too embarrassed to look at him more, it would have looked rude.

So I swept past and then hastily withdrew my gaze and looked at them, “All… all boys?!”

The four of them looked at me dumbly together. Suddenly, the brown guy on the far right raised his hand and said, “I… I’m a girl…” 

In my head, thousands of horses ran in my head. It was true that in the immortal realm, you really couldn’t tell men and women apart by their appearance. 

I  sweated coldly, feeling so embarrassed.   

“Sister Xiaolan… how did you… know I live… here? Si Yinuo was still timid, hands pulling at his  white hair. Then, he looked elsewhere.  

 finally recovered, looking at him awkwardly. “Actually, I came here because I’m looking for a dorm.” 

A few people’s eyes glowed when they heard I was looking for a dorm room! Even Si Yinuo raised his face.

I smiled at them, “This was the only place on the ground, would you like to tame me in?

I looked at them nervously, but they were looking at me even more nervously!

Suddenly, the hairy girl jumped up excitedly, “Yes, yes, yes! Come on in! Please, come in!”

“Yes, yes, yes, come on in!”

Everyone practically swarmed me and welcomed me inside, not to mention how enthusiastic they were!

The inside of the hut, however, looked much bigger than the outside. To be honest, the outside looked just like a toy house. But inside it was really big, with a nice balustrade and a sunken circle of sofas underneath, with all sorts of stuff on them, and the ‘dirty’ feeling of a student!

It was so good, I liked it!  

“Sister Lan, let me introduce you to…” Si Yinou pointed to the group with some excitement. “This is Jiang Yan, from the ancient Yan Clan , the same clan as Houqing, Ying Gou, and Hang Yan. They are vampires!” 

“Vampires!” I exclaimed.

Jiang Yan waved his hand nervously and immediately. “Don’t worry! I do drink blood!” 

He hastily picked up the drink in his hand and showed it to me. Holy shit, so that was blood!

“Yeah, don’t worry, Little Sister Lan, he won’t suck blood indiscriminately.” Si Yinuo also hurriedly explained, as if he was afraid of scaring me off and looking extra nervous. “There is a strict system here, sucking blood indiscriminately will get you expelled from school. Besides, they won’t bite people indiscriminately as long as they replenish their blood sufficiently.”

I stiffened and looked at everyone, who nodded together, and from their eager gazes, I sensed their sincerity and urgency in inviting me to join their dormitory.

“Really, he won’t bite?” I ask again.

Jiang Yan seriously nodded. “Actually biting is a misconception you mortals have about us, the higher the rank of the vampire clan, the less they bite, and I have plenty of food, I won’t bite you, don’t worry.” 

He looked at me nervously, making me look snobbish. 

I laughed, “I’m sorry, I’m a mortal, don’t take it personally.” 

I patted him on the chest and he froze, relaxing and smiling. I continued to explain, “Who let that whoever Light God almost bite me earlier? It scared me!” 

‘The God of light wanted to bite you!” Jiang Yan looked surprised, and the others stared at Jiang Yan who was staring at  me with furrowed brows. 

“Probably… because you’re a living person,” he said this in  a vague tone.  

I looked at him in panic. You’re not going to bite me because I’m alive, right, brother?

Jiang Yan didn’t dare look at me for a moment, blinking his green eyes away as he put the straw in his mouth, and the sound of his sucking from the straw echoed in the room. “Shulululu…” 

The atmosphere suddenly and inexplicably stiffened.

Si Yinuo timidly looked at Jiang Yan and immediately spoke up to break this awkward silence, “This is Qing Ming from the Dragon  race.” He pointed to the green-faced boy.

The Dragons! I looked at Qing Ming, no wonder he looked so colorful.

Qing Ming slowly raised his hand towards me. “Hi.” Then, he shut up. 

I raised my hand to him too. “Hello.” 

He gave me a coy smile, making me a bit awkward.  

“This is Mao mao…” Si Yinuo pointed to the hairy girl. “She’s a werewolf.”

“A werewolf!” I fussed again and immediately felt really frustrated and hurriedly apologized, “Sorry… sorry, I’m a mortal, and just have arrived, I’ve only seen a little.”

Mao Mao didn’t care and smiled brightly. “It’s okay, we’re glad you’re willing to live with us, no one ever wants to live with us because…” 

Mao Mao lowered her face in frustration and immediately, Qing Ming, Jiang Yan. and Si Yinuo also lowered their faces, and said, “We’re worthless…” 

The atmosphere turned sad, I suddenly wanted to cheer them up. I laughed, “So, what if you’re losers? I made history as being the lowest scorer in the college entrance exam, pulling down the scores of all the students in our school! Hahaha, on the flip side, aren’t I great, too?”  

Their faces lifted and stared at me with a dumbfounded expression. 

“I’m going to help you guys, from now on, you have me at the bottom! It’s fine! I’ve got to be proud of myself when people look down on me! Right…” I smiled at everyone as I clasped my hands behind my back, but in my heart, I cried. 

Xia Xiaolan, you are the lowest of the low in the whole school, what’s there to be proud of?
