Final Boss Is No Joke - Eat Your Medicine , You Dunce

Chapter 7

“I got the first prize in the lottery…” Papa Ji looked around before continuing in a lower voice, “RMB40 million! From now on, we’re rich!”

“RMB40 million?” Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes widened. To her, this was an astronomical figure. ‘You can win this much from the lottery?! I have money now, so does this mean I won’t be bullied by those people anymore???’

Excitement sprouted in Ji Xiaoyu’s heart. She was eager to enjoy a life without being bullied. Everyone had a dark side to them, and if Ji Xiaoyu had managed to endure this part of her life, she would have become someone to whom money held no meaning. Yet just as she had reached the impressionable age where her opinions had just started to form, this enormous sum of wealth had appeared.

“I think I saw Chang Sheng today. That fellow scares me to death. Has Fu-shao returned to the academy?” Student A wore a terrified expression and spoke with a trembling voice.

“It shouldn’t be. I didn’t see his bodyguards,” Student B comforted Student A. “Maybe you were just seeing things?”

“How could I be seeing things? Who else could that giant body belong to but Chang Sheng? Don’t know what the academy’s higher ups are thinking… they actually let such a big fellow in. Last time, someone nearly died…” Student A’s face was pale.

“Then Fu-shao probably really has come back. Be more careful in the future. If you meet Chang Sheng, you’re as good as dead.”

The two conversed as they passed Shi Sheng’s side. Shi Sheng looked at them with a weird gaze. ‘What Chang Sheng are they talking about? Are they really so amazing that these people would die if they met them? And the academy allowed such a dangerous thing in…’

Just as Shi Sheng was puzzling it out, her gaze suddenly changed as she looked at the flowery shrubs at the side of the path.

Without warning, a large creature burst out from the undergrowth, its gaze meeting hers. Those brilliant green eyes were filled with ferocity.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Which madman is raising a Caucasian Shepherd Dog[1]?! Even if I like this dog breed the most because they’re both strong and loyal enough…

I don’t like the ones other people raise, okay?! Son of a bitch, lives are going to be endangered…’

Shi Sheng’s eyes turned frosty as she glared fiercely back at it, releasing killing intent. ‘You think I’d(bbb) be scared of you, doggy?!’

The giant dog arched his back and stared at her as if she was an intruder on his territory. Low growls issued forth from his throat. Shi Sheng silently gave it the middle finger.

“Woof!” The dog seemed to have been enraged as it fiercely pounced over. The sudden pounce caught Shi Sheng off guard, but she managed to dodge. However, her back smacked into a railing carved with flowers. The protruding edges scraped against her, causing sharp pain to spread from her back.

The dog didn’t give up, and turned to pounce at her again. That ferocious gaze made it look as if it wanted to tear Shi Sheng limb from limb.

Shi Sheng silently took out her sword, but before she could even swing it the dog let out a yep, tucking its tail between its legs and cowering.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Weren’t you so fierce just now? Why are you giving up so easily?’

Shi Sheng brandished her sword and lifted her feet to walk over to the dog.
