Chapter 55: You are ugly

"Look, it's the one who came through the back door." Fu Yao Yao saw Le Fang Ling approaching the group of female disciples and let out a snort.

Le Fang Ling stopped in her steps and looked at her dumbfounded.

"…."

Again? Seriously? Le Fang ling felt the urge to vomit out her gut at how snotty and bratty she was but decided to simply ignore her after all, if she was to answer her back, that was just going to add fuel to the fire.

Seeing Le Fang Ling silent, Fu Yao Yao felt encouraged to say something more.

"The sect just got another freeloader to take care of. I need to ask my father to cut off the donations to the sect if they keep on taking in anyone." She sized up Le Fang Ling from top to bottom.

"Especially when they can not even contribute anything." She gave a smug smile while her eyes threatened to bore a hole in her face.

Le Fangling: "…."

'Just ignore her.' Nagina said in a soft voice but her voice still had some rough edges as it was changing from a mechanical voice to somewhat a real human voice.

'Let me handle her.' She gave an evil hiss.

"Ohh.." 

Nagina turned her head to look at Fu Yao Yao and blinked twice.

'What is this snake looking at me for?' As someone who was afraid of crawling animals and insects, Fu Yao Yao felt herself sweating buckets of cold sweats. Her palms that were clenched in a tight fist started to feel wet.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Fu Yao Yao stepped forward a little and spoke in a mean tone to Nagina. In her eyes, the snake was just a normal snake that didn't even know the 'C' of cultivation.

Le Fang ling had the impulse to try and slap her for being rude to Nagina but before she could do anything, Nagina took the chance to do it.

She blinked her eyes again, making Fu Yao Yao see herself reflected in them. She slowly tilted her head sideways.

Both stared at each other for a while with no sign if anyone backing down first.

"You are quite ugly." Nagina simply said a sentence and looked at her with a neutral expression.

"I-It spoke!!" Fu Yao Yao staggered on her feet and walked three steps back but since she could not balance her body due to the intensity of shock and fell flat on her buttocks.

"A freaking snake spoke!!" She clasped both of her palms on her cheek and gasped out in horror. Seeing her sprawled on the ground like that, two of her friends quickly went to her rescue. They lifted her from the ground with great difficulty since she was not willing to budge from where she had fallen.

By the moment they were done, both of them were swatting from their forehead.

"Heh, are you sure that I am a heavy burden here?" Le Fang Ling smirked as she looked at Fu Yao Yao with eyes full of contempt. She had made a bad impression but the fact that she called bad names to Nagina was more than enough to hate her.

"Even two people found it extremely exhausting to lift you up." She uncannily shrugged her shoulder.

The other disciples who were left behind on the field were now enjoying the drama as they feasted upon two girls going at each other's throats.

"What is this crowd for? Why is everyone gathered here?" A voice came towards them. Le Fang Ling turned a little to her left to see An Cheng hurrying towards them.

"Senior sister." Le Fang Ling suddenly gave a bright and glowing smile. Even her eyes lit up as if there were thousands of fireflies dancing inside.

"What are you guys talking about?" An Cheng had walked over just in time to find Le Fang Ling being bullied.

'Tch, why is the girl this gullible?' An Cheng gave a tired sigh inwardly. As soon as she reached where they were, she greeted Le Fang ling back with a smile.

"Okay, someone, explain this situation." She looked at the teary-eyed Fu Yao Yao who looked like a damsel in distress and then back at Le Fang Ling who seemed like a puppy who finally found her master.

"…" What was this situation?

"Oh, it was nothing senior sister. Just a few exchanges of greetings between new students." A girl in a dark skin tone who had been silent all this time stepped forward and spoke. She had

a little muscular build and tanned skin that gave her a beautiful contrast in her pale green robe.

Her hair was tied up in a high and clean ponytail which gave her face the perfect shape. Her features were easily visible including her sharp jawline, straight nose, and high cheekbones.

"She looks like a model." Nagina complimented how powerful her presence and air were. Just by speaking, she was able to make everyone there look at her without taking her eyes off.

"That height, body, and those features," Le Fang Ling was thoughtful for a while.

Le Fang Ling even had an illusion of seeing her somewhere in a modeling endorsement back home.

"I must be hallucinating." She shook off the thoughts in her head.

"Ohh, so just exchange greetings huh?" An Cheng repeated the statement and took a quick breath.

"No, Sister Cheng, her snake called me ugly." Fu Yao Yao was not going to let either Le Fang Ling or the white snake get off from making fun of her. She was going to have her revenge.

"What? Oh, so you were called ugly?" An Cheng was taken aback by what she just heard.

"I speak the truth after analyzing everything," Nagina answered back in all seriousness. She did see Fu Yao Yao's ugly heart and it compelled her to say that she was ugly.

"...."

An Cheng did not know what to say about this since she was called beautiful by Nagina. Even she found it hard to believe that a lower-level magical beast that had not cultivated enough to get intelligence that can allow them to understand and communicate in human language.

'Let's just consider her as an exception… We can let it slide since she is cute.' An Cheng resisted the urge to go and pat her.

"Cough…" She let out a small cough to clear her throat.

"Since the matter is nothing important, all of you are dismissed. You have the whole day free, do whatever you want as long as it's within the guidelines." An Cheng clapped her hands twice as she cleared the field.

"And you, the junior with the snake." She motioned towards Le Fang Ling who was about to mix in with the crowd to return to her quarters.

"Yes, Sister Cheng." She stopped in her tracks and looked at her. "Is there anything that I can do?"

An Cheng simply went and grabbed her wrist with her hand and started pulling her towards somewhere.

"You come with me. I have something for you." She gave a quick smile as she continued with her action of dragging her away.
