School Life
Wild Grass
I was the freest child in the village.
All the other kids envied me because no one ever told me what to do.
But the truth was, my parents had divorced, and neither of them wanted me.
That was why they left eight-year-old me all alone in a mud-brick house up in the mountains.
During the day, it was all right.
But at night, the mountain wind howled, and the drunk old bachelor would reach his hand in through the crack in the window. “Jingjing, are you scared all by yourself? Uncle Dog will keep you company!”
Ruyi’s Demon-Subduing Chronicles: Soul Seizure
The school bully tormented me at school, then followed me home and, right in front of me, slammed Ah Huang, the puppy who had grown up by my side, to death.
But the bully didn’t know I was the Daughter of the Underworld King.
Seizing souls was an ability I had been born with.
The next day, the bully acted completely out of character at school. One by one, he beat up everyone who had ever picked on me.
Then he announced in front of everyone that from now on, he would protect me forever.
When no one was around, I reached up and patted his head. “Good boy, Ah Huang. This body is pretty useful, isn’t it?”
