Chapter 153: Domineering Mermaid’s Little Dragon [One]

Chapter 153: The Tyrant Mermaid's Little Fierce Dragon "One"

The Interstellar Academy had an unwritten rule: alphas who encountered someone wearing a silver mask on campus had better not act arrogant, because that person would genuinely beat them within an inch of their life, and the school wouldn't intervene—because the school was afraid of getting beaten too.

Bai Ningxin, as one of the rare merfolk willing to come ashore and study, caused a commotion among the teachers the moment he arrived.

The principal personally received him and asked warmly, "Why did you decide to come to school?"

Bai Ningxin: "I heard you guys get to fight here. I don't want to hit other merfolk, so I came here instead."

Principal: ...

Kid, you're pretty cocky! Don't you know your place!

Then the principal got put in his place, along with every teacher on campus.

Principal: Maybe you should just take this position instead.

After being beaten to that point, they didn't dare refuse Bai Ningxin. First, because they couldn't afford to offend merfolk. Second, although Bai Ningxin was a bit vicious, he didn't just attack anyone—he only fought when challenged, and usually couldn't be bothered with anyone else. Third, when Bai Ningxin was in a good mood, he was willing to teach them a thing or two, which most teachers couldn't pull off even if they tried.

From then on, Bai Ningxin became the most unusual person on campus. He didn't attend classes or work, just roamed around all day looking for strong alphas.

Most people were terrified of him, except his nemesis Xie Shihua.

"Bai Ningxin!!! Where's that lipstick I put in your pocket last night?!" Xie Shihua's clothes didn't have pockets, so he'd just stuck it in Bai Ningxin's, and now it was missing when he checked today.

Bai Ningxin took a bite of his chicken leg, thought for a moment, then remembered: "I didn't have cash when I bought chicken legs earlier, so I traded it for them."

Xie Shihua completely lost it: "That was the new shade I waited four months for!! Do you have any idea how many chicken legs that's worth?!"

"Twenty. They even threw in two bottles of soda—I'll give you one, alright?"

"I'm gonna fight you!"

Xie Shihua launched a wild attack, but Bai Ningxin didn't react, waiting until he'd finished his chicken leg before getting up and grabbing Xie Shihua's wrist: "You wanna die?!"

"I don't care! Go find my lipstick, right now, go!"

"How much was it? I'll pay you back, just go buy a new one."

"But buying a new one means waiting again! I don't care!"

"Then I can't do anything about it. I told you not to put stuff in my pocket."

"Bai Ningxin, you bastard!"

"Who are you calling a bastard?"

The two got into a fight over nothing, brawling from inside the building all the way outside. As luck would have it, it was freshman orientation day, and new students were touring the dorms when they saw people fighting up ahead and stopped to watch in awe.

This really is the top school in the galaxy—those moves are insane.

A passing teacher quickly shooed them away: "The one wearing the silver mask is the one person on campus you don't mess with. Whatever you do, don't pick a fight with him."

Some alphas wanted to defend Xie Shihua: "But he's bullying someone, and that someone's an omega."

And an omega who looks super cute too!

"It's fine, he doesn't hit omegas. This omega's the exception, because those two..."

Before the teacher could finish, Long Shen—who couldn't stand to watch anymore—stepped in. He pulled Xie Shihua out of Bai Ningxin's grip and even landed a hit on Bai Ningxin.

Bai Ningxin hadn't expected a sneak attack, and the guy's reflexes were so fast he couldn't dodge in time.

"You okay?" Long Shen asked Xie Shihua.

Xie Shihua saw Bai Ningxin get hit and shoved Long Shen away: "What are you doing! Xinxin, Xinxin, are you okay!"

Bai Ningxin narrowed his eyes. Someone actually dared to sneak attack him—this alpha must be asking for it.

Long Shen realized the two actually knew each other, and looked embarrassed. "Sorry, I thought..."

Before he could finish, Bai Ningxin had already made his move.

Long Shen knew he was in the wrong, so he kept backing away: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you two knew each other. I thought you were picking on him."

Seeing that Long Shen wouldn't fight back, Bai Ningxin lost interest. He hit him back and walked away.

"Xinxin! Xinxin, wait for me!" Xie Shihua jogged after him.

Long Shen rubbed the spot where he'd been hit. Damn, that was vicious—and he hadn't even hit that hard.

"Your Highness, are you okay! Someone get a doctor to check on His Highness!" The teacher's heart was in his throat. This group of freshmen was full of the rich and powerful, especially Long Shen—he was the Crown Prince of Romar, the future heir to the throne.

Long Shen waved his hand, speaking calmly: "I'm fine, no need to trouble the teachers."

The teacher was very pleased with him. Among the freshmen, Long Shen had the greatest ability, the highest status, and the best manners. His manners and composure were way above the other alphas who thought so highly of themselves.

"That guy earlier—was he a teacher too?"

"He's a student, but not really a student either." The teacher explained Bai Ningxin's background.

"Is he an omega?" It feels like it, but his temperament says otherwise.

"He should be an alpha, but we don't dare ask too many questions. After all, if he gets mad, he'll beat us up too."

Long Shen smiled: "What an odd person. So why does he wear a mask?"

"No idea. He wore it from his very first day. Some say he got disfigured in a fight before coming here—who knows. Anyway, Your Highness, it's best to avoid provoking him."

Long Shen nodded: "Got it. Thanks, teacher."

Back in the dorm, Xie Shihua helped bandage Bai Ningxin's wound while gloating: "Serves you right for selling my lipstick. That's what you get."

"Get lost." Bai Ningxin shoved him away.

Xie Shihua leaned back in: "Don't move! If you hit me again, I'll tell your dad on you!"

Bai Ningxin's dad, who was a Samoyed, was very fond of Xie Shihua and always told Bai Ningxin to take good care of him.

Bai Ningxin ground his teeth: "You'd better shut up, or I'll make sure you never speak again."

"Come on then, you think I'm scared of you? Oh by the way, that alpha from earlier was kinda cute." Xie Shihua grinned slyly.

Bai Ningxin closed his eyes and stayed quiet.

"Hey, if he asked me out, should I say yes or what?"

Bai Ningxin couldn't take it anymore: "Are you that full of yourself?"

"How am I being narcissistic? Which alpha in school hasn't sent me a love letter?" Xie Shihua hasn't even debuted yet and already has a bunch of admirers. If it weren't for Bai Ningxin by his side, those suitors would surely be clinging to him every day.

"Tsk." Bai Ningxin couldn't be bothered and just went to bed.

Xie Shihua sat by his bed, blabbing away: "What do you think we should name our future child?"

Bai Ningxin took off his mask, his delicate and handsome face filled with exasperation: "You've only seen him once, and you're already naming our future kids? Do you even know who he is?"

"No, but he's very handsome, and he looks like he could kick your ass. If we get together, we can have him beat you up in the future." Xie Shihua said his plan out loud without a hint of shame.

Bai Ningxin let out a cold laugh. Beat him?

Fine. Tomorrow, he'd make Xie Shihua watch his crush get stomped into the ground.
