Chapter 94: Gu Chen, are you a girl?

“Don’t, don’t kill me!”

The thug pleaded with a sob in his voice.

He looked at the person wearing blue and white striped panties on their head with a face full of terror as he desperately scrambled backward.

‘What kind of monster did I provoke?!’

“Whether you live or die depends on your luck,” Gu Chen said, a cold smirk curling her lips.

She raised her leg and stomped hard on the man’s helmet.

*Thud!*

*Thud!!*

*Thud!!!*

Each strike was heavy and powerful, the muffled sounds continuing until a cracking noise rang out.

Although it didn’t cause direct damage, the vibrations made his brain feel like it was exploding, causing his whole body to twitch.

“You… why do you have to stomp…”

“Hmph, I just don’t like these helmets of yours!”

Gu Chen didn’t wait for him to finish before delivering a final stomp, finally silencing him completely.

She took a deep breath, savoring the spring-breeze-like scent on the panties.

She then removed them.

As the adrenaline receded, her state of excitement vanished instantly.

‘It seems the reason Master gave me these was because they could keep me excited, sending my adrenaline soaring. It allows me to briefly numb the pain of my injuries and defeat enemies with peak physical condition.’

For a moment, she felt like Madara Uchiha, almost shouting, ‘Do you also wish to dance?’

But with panties on her head, it felt too wretched.

She held back for fear of insulting him.

‘This must be the side effect Master mentioned…’

Seeing the group lying unconscious on the ground, Gu Chen finally felt at ease.

She guessed that Li Yanqiu and Tang Ziya would be arriving soon; they couldn’t be allowed to see this scene.

“Wait, where’s Wu Peng?”

Gu Chen scanned the area.

Everyone present was wearing a helmet, but the culprit was nowhere to be found.

“Gu Chen!”

Suddenly, Wang Meng’s scream echoed from the cliff side.

“Gu Chen, didn’t you want to save her? Why don’t you try now? Hahahaha!”

Wu Peng, limping on one leg, had completely fallen into madness.

He knew he was finished today, but he wouldn’t make things easy for his enemy.

‘This guy’s health is ridiculously high. To think he can still stand up and counterattack… I miscalculated.’

“Stop! Let her go!”

Gu Chen roared.

She charged forward at her maximum speed, but she was clearly too late.

Wu Peng grinned maliciously and pushed Wang Meng off the cliff.

“Ahhh!”

Wang Meng’s piercing scream echoed through the valley.

“WU PENG!!!!”

Endless rage surged into her heart once more, turning into a shrill cry.

Gu Chen’s eyes turned red.

She regretted not being more cautious; if she had been, this accident wouldn’t have happened.

If Wang Meng died, how would she face Li Yanqiu, Tang Ziya, or the girl’s parents?

“Damn it! I’ll kill you!”

Gu Chen roared again, determined to take Wu Peng down with her to avenge Wang Meng.

Wu Peng also charged with his fists clenched, ready for a mutual destruction scenario.

However, Gu Chen suddenly leaped into the air, her legs locking around his neck.

The world spun for him.

*Boom!*

Gu Chen let out a roar as she unleashed her ultimate move, the Deadly Scissor Kick!

She flipped in mid-air, slamming him heavily onto the ground.

*Splurt!!*

Wu Peng spat out a mouthful of blood.

It felt as if his internal organs had been shattered.

He lay there, life and death uncertain, with bloody froth seeping from the corners of his mouth.

“I’ll kill you!!”

Gu Chen’s murderous intent didn’t subside.

She had turned into a beast, preparing to stomp down on his neck.

“Gu Chen! Are you still there? Pull me up, quickly!”

Just as her foot was about to land on the guy, Wang Meng’s voice drifted up from below the cliff, sounding strained and urgent.

“Wang Meng!?”

Startled and overjoyed, Gu Chen dragged her body to the edge and shone her phone’s flashlight down.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank God, Wang Meng hadn’t fallen all the way.

She had luckily caught a small sapling growing out of the cliff wall.

“Hold on, I’ll save you.”

Gu Chen set her phone aside and tried to reach her.

However, the cliff edge was more than 1 meter away from her position, making her unreachable.

Moreover, her right hand was injured and lacked strength, while her left hand was nearly useless as well.

Pulling her up seemed impossible.

After thinking for a moment, she found a way.

She sat on the edge and extended one leg down.

“Grab my leg and climb up. Be careful.”

“Okay, I’ve got it.”

Wang Meng freed one hand and finally grabbed Gu Chen’s ankle, then hugged it with both arms, struggling to climb up.

“Ngh!”

The strength in a leg was naturally much greater than an arm.

Using her body weight as a pivot, Gu Chen slowly shuffled backward, gradually pulling Wang Meng up.

*Huff… huff… huff…*

Seeing her finally reach the edge, Gu Chen panted heavily.

As the adrenaline faded, the pain from her wounds returned, making her feel somewhat numb.

Fortunately, she had saved the girl.

The ending wasn’t too bad.

“Gu Chen, thank you…”

“Ahhh!!!”

Wang Meng was still shaken, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

She looked up to thank him, but her words were cut short.

Her pupils constricted, and she covered her eyes, turning away.

In her panic while climbing, she had accidentally yanked down a section of Gu Chen’s pants along with the panties.

After getting up, she realized the situation.

Since it was a certain part of a boy’s body, she was naturally embarrassed and screamed after seeing it.

However, based on her memory of what she saw, Wang Meng realized something was wrong.

‘Wait, earlier between Gu Chen’s legs… there wasn’t something like my brother has…’

Although Wang Meng hadn’t seen an adult male’s part, she had seen her younger brother’s when they were little.

Driven by curiosity and shock, she plucked up the courage to open her eyes again.

This time, she confirmed it.

Her level of horror was no less than when she had been pushed off the cliff!

“Gu… Gu Chen, you’re… you’re a girl!?”

Wang Meng blurted out in shock.

No matter how much she disbelieved it, the truth was right before her eyes!

The string of shocks was too much; she even wondered if she was dreaming.

She had seen Li Fugui’s post on the forum about Gu Chen being a girl, but she hadn’t believed it then.

She never imagined it was true!

The School Bully who had dominated the school for two years was actually a girl!

Gu Chen was simply too amazing!

“What are you talking about? How could I possibly…”

Gu Chen denied it immediately, not yet realizing what had happened.

But the cool sensation between her legs made her realize something was wrong.

Looking down, she saw that her pants had been pulled down by Wang Meng.

Whether she was a boy or not was now perfectly clear.

‘Holy crap! Holy crap!! Holy crap!!! Noooo!!!!!’

In that instant, Gu Chen nearly collapsed.

The look she gave Wang Meng almost seemed like she wanted to silence her forever…

Of course, that was just a thought.

In a panic, Gu Chen shamefully pulled up her pants.

What Li Fugui hadn’t managed to do, Wang Meng had accomplished.

“Um… Wang Meng… I really am a girl. Since you’ve seen it, there’s no way to hide it anymore. But… can you keep this a secret for me? You can’t tell anyone, okay?”

Gu Chen took a deep breath and simply admitted it.

Fortunately, it was Wang Meng who knew.

She had an obedient personality; as long as she kept her mouth shut, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

“…”

“Um… I… I won’t tell anyone,” Wang Meng answered hesitantly, her gaze toward Gu Chen filled with complex emotions.

But then she remembered that Gu Chen had risked her life to save her.

Not to mention keeping a secret, she should probably even offer herself in marriage as thanks!

“Good, I believe you! Mengmeng!”

Gu Chen smiled and patted her head to comfort her.

“Waaaah…”

Wang Meng finally let her emotions out, wailing loudly.

She threw her arms around Gu Chen’s neck, clinging tightly and crying heart-wrenchingly.

“Cough, calm down. This… men and women shouldn’t be so close!”

For a moment, Gu Chen didn’t know how to respond.

Although she was physiologically female, she had been a pure man for 18 years; her identity wouldn’t change that easily.

—

Soon, Li Yanqiu and Tang Ziya arrived at the back mountain after failing to find them earlier.

To their surprise, the battle was over.

“Gu Chen, are you okay?”

The Homeroom Teacher looked at her, covered in wounds and appearing incredibly pathetic.

She felt both heartbroken and furious.

“Yeah, I’m not dead yet. Don’t worry,” Gu Chen said, her heart finally settling now that they were here.

She grinned, trying to act casual.

“Wu Peng, that scum! I’m going to kill him!”

Unexpectedly, Li Yanqiu nearly lost her mind.

She picked up a switchblade that had been dropped at some point and moved to finish off the unconscious Wu Peng.
