Chapter 43: Heaven is truly helping me!

“What’s the situation? Wasn’t Gu Chen just holding the advantage? Why is he suddenly failing?”

‘Could he be intentionally showing weakness to launch a sneak attack?’

‘Yeah, that’s possible!’

‘I feel like it would be better if Gu Chen wins. Even though he hits people, I’ve never heard of him hitting girls. Li Fugui constantly steals our underwear. He’s so perverted.’

Messages continued to pop up in the group chat.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, they actually began to worry.

At least in the eyes of the girls, Li Fugui was a much greater threat than Gu Chen.

Both of them taking each other down would be the best outcome, but if one had to survive, they would rather it be Gu Chen.

***

“Gu Chen!!! I told you not to accept this challenge, but you wouldn’t listen. Now it’s too late for regrets!!”

Inside the dormitory, Tang Ziya and Wang Meng were looking at the same phone screen.

Tang Ziya was both anxious and angry.

“Class Monitor, are you worried about Gu Chen?”

Wang Meng asked from the side with a bewildered look, her round eyes wide.

‘Who would worry about that nuisance?’

Tang Ziya quickly denied it, explaining, “I was just thinking that if he gets beaten to death, I’ll have to help pick up his corpse since I’m the Class Monitor. It’s too much trouble.”

***

“Gu Chen, not bad. I almost fell into your hands. Unfortunately, you won’t have another chance.”

Li Fugui adjusted his breathing.

Those three kicks earlier had indeed messed with his rhythm.

If the power had been any greater, his defenses really would have broken right there, leaving him unable to get up.

‘It’s over…’

Gu Chen was nearly in despair.

He climbed up with great effort, but he no longer had the strength to fight.

Thinking about how his gender was actually going to be identified on a livestream, he felt like committing suicide right then and there…

It seemed he wouldn’t be able to thrive in this school anymore!

If the students found out that a girl was acting as the School Overlord, they would definitely despise her!

‘Should I just surrender to him? Consider being his girlfriend?’

Just like that, Li Fugui walked forward with an expectant look, the expression on his face becoming more and more excited.

Just when he thought the dust had settled, he suddenly stopped.

*Gurgle—*

A strange sound rang out.

It came from Li Fugui’s stomach.

Immediately after, Gu Chen saw his expression twist as he subconsciously clutched his belly.

‘What’s going on? My stomach hurts so much, hiss—’

He had been fine just a moment ago, but in the next second, it felt like a storm was raging inside him.

He was about to lose control at any moment.

‘What’s wrong with Li Fugui?’

Gu Chen looked over sharply and realized something was wrong with the other party.

It looked like he was about to have a bout of explosive diarrhea!!

‘Haha, the heavens are truly helping me!’

Realizing this, Gu Chen almost jumped for joy.

Even the heavens were helping him!

It was very unfortunate that he had started his period and was suffering from cramps because of it.

But now that Li Fugui’s stomach had started acting up, this was what one would call a fair duel!!

“Wait!!”

Seeing Gu Chen rush over, Li Fugui waved his hand and shouted, wanting to call for a timeout.

At the very least, he needed to go to the bathroom before continuing.

But there was obviously no chance for that.

A barrage of punches and kicks descended upon him.

“Ah!!”

“Ah!! Ah!!”

With his stomach in turmoil, Li Fugui had no way to defend himself.

After a few kicks, he was baring his teeth in pain.

He retreated repeatedly, his entire face contorted.

“Go to hell!!”

Gu Chen delivered an upward kick to his chin.

Li Fugui screamed as he flew 2 meters away.

Accompanied by a *splat* sound, he completed a standard free-flight in the air before fainting…

“What is that smell!?”

“Holy crap! Are you trying to disgust me!?”

Gu Chen looked at the unbearable scene and immediately retreated several meters, covering his nose and cursing.

Never mind him, even the people watching through the screen almost threw up.

“Oh my god, Gu Chen won!”

“Li Fugui’s loss was too pathetic. He literally had the crap beaten out of him…”

“Good thing I didn’t watch it in person, otherwise it would have been a gas chamber!”

The outcome was decided, and everyone saw it.

There was no doubt.

At this moment, Li Fugui’s underlings also rushed in.

Seeing their boss beaten so miserably and in such a pathetic state, they all glared at Gu Chen.

However, because he was covered in “debuffs,” not even the Four Great Vajras dared to approach him.

They all froze in place.

Gu Chen didn’t want to stay there either.

Pinching his nose, he quickly fled.

Otherwise, instead of being beaten to death by Li Fugui, he would be choked to death by the stench.

Walking out of the main gate, the fresh air felt like a rebirth.

At this time, many students gathered around, each with an excited expression.

After all, those who bet on him to win had made quite a bit of money.

“Big Brother, that’s great! I knew you would win.”

Guo Ming squeezed out from the crowd, his eyes welling with tears.

His ball-like body lunged forward, wanting to give him a big hug.

“Get lost!”

The sense of dread this inspired was not much lower than Li Fugui’s.

Gu Chen directly kicked him away.

‘Trying to take advantage of me? Don’t even think about it.’

Just as he dealt with that guy, another figure darted out beside him.

He was about to retaliate when he realized it was Chu Xiaomeng and hurriedly stopped.

“Waaah—”

“That’s great, I thought something happened to you.”

Chu Xiaomeng lunged forward with tears streaming down her face.

She hugged Gu Chen tightly, looking as though she had been terrified for quite a while.

The biggest reason was that she didn’t want the Big Brother she had just recognized to be defeated in public.

“Don’t cry. *Cough cough,* I’m fine, aren’t I?”

Gu Chen felt a bit embarrassed with so many people watching.

He patted Chu Xiaomeng’s head and comforted her softly.

That feminine fragrance was quite refreshing, and he couldn’t help but feel a hint of excitement.

“Boss, you’re being way too hypocritical! Also, when did you get to know such a cute girl!?”

Guo Ming complained with a mournful face.

Gu Chen couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention.

After comforting Chu Xiaomeng, he told everyone else to disperse, as there was nothing left to see.

He also needed to go home and rest properly.

After all, his period cramps were still unbearable.

It looked like he would need two days to recover.

At the same time, in a dark corner not far from the gate, a tall figure watched Gu Chen.

After stepping out slightly, her exquisite and beautiful face was revealed, though her gloomy aura was somewhat chilling.

It was the Witch, Xia Qingyue!

“Xia Qingyue, thank you for your help this time,” Li Yanqiu said, standing nearby.

“No need. I’m just returning the favor from earlier,” Xia Qingyue answered indifferently.

Then, she turned and disappeared into the night.

***

Gu Chen was finally enjoying his first weekend after school started, and he felt quite satisfied.

Upon returning home, he was still a bit flustered.

He was still reeling from the great battle this afternoon and needed time to recover.

The incident of Li Fugui being beaten until he soiled himself had been livestreamed.

Li Fugui, who valued his reputation highly, had lost so much face today.

Gu Chen didn’t know if the man would expose his identity out of shame and anger.

After returning to his room, Gu Chen flopped onto the bed and hugged a pillow, instantly feeling a sense of contentment.

‘Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.’

Eventually, Gu Chen sighed.

“Son… come out and eat.”

Just then, his father, who had finished cooking in the kitchen, shouted at the top of his lungs.

Gu Chen gave a response and walked out of the room.

His gaze swept over the living room sofa, where he noticed a human-sized inflatable doll lying there.

Holy crap!

He hadn’t noticed this thing at all when he first came back.

Looking at his father’s weathered face, it seemed the man had really fallen into depravity!!!

But…

Was it really okay to leave such a large doll on the living room sofa?!

It was one thing before, but this house already has one daughter now!
