Rebirth: A Woman with Frozen Hearts [English]

A Shameful Moment For The 'White Lotus'

(A/N: This White Lotus term refers to a female character who appears innocent, naive, perfectly flawed, and pure on the surface, but uses this reputation for piercing, blaming, and, or insulting others. The term is inspired by the lotus plant, which has beautiful flowers floating on the water, hiding the roots of a messy plant caught in the marshy mud.)

"Chairman, where did you learn to be strong? Do you have a teacher?" yu Wang asked as he chewed his food, the way he ate was a little noisy but it seemed like the other two had gotten used to it. Ming Yue was quite surprised by Yu Wang's behavior..

"I learned it from two teachers but even though I said 'Teacher', they are my followers ." said Ming Yue, who was the author of the study,

"Eh? H-How can a teacher be your follower?" Ming Ran asked, the puzzled look he showed looked cute, making Ming Yue amused at the sight.

Ming Yue gave the three a mysterious smile, "Well, I guess when the time is right, you'll know why." He said without explaining much.

How does he explain it? Should he say 'Well guys, I actually have a place in a different dimensional space and the four celestial beasts are under my command. Cool right?' like those?

They would have thought Ming Yue had a mental breakdown the moment she said those words. So Ming Yue thought it best to ignore this topic and move on to another one. Of course the three people did not ask anymore, if Ming Yue said it like that then they would wait for the right moment for them to know the truth.

The other disciples glanced at the corner where the four people were talking so freely and happily. This was the first time they had seen Ming Yue being warm to others, giving a warm and friendly smile. This made the aloof, cold and indifferent expression he always had, disappear. It felt like as the snow melted, spring came with flowers blooming and warmth filling the body. Seeing Ming Yue like that, they thought it might not be bad to approach the cursed child of D city. However, only a few people disliked how Ming Yue had friends around her. That person was of course, Qing Xu Lin.

As the break ended, Ming Yue returned to her class while her new 'Fans' were in a different class. Ming Yue in 1st grade, Ming Ran and Yu Wang in 3rd Grade, while Mu Chen in 2nd Grade.

As Ming Yue returned to the classroom, she directly walked to her seat. The classmates stole glances from time to time, they wanted to talk to Ming Yue but did not know how to talk to her or what topic to talk about. When Mo Liu entered the classroom, he glanced at Ming Yue slightly while maintaining his firm and cold expression.

"Let's start the lesson!" He said without glancing at Ming Yue anymore.

Actually at the time of the incident in the morning, Mo Liu was there, watching from the corner of the hallway. He watched how the windows along the passageway exploded one by one, how Ming Yue walked towards the gossiping disciple, exuding a cold bloodlust. His cruel smile, his arrogance, his cold expression, even his murderous aura, it captivated Mo Liu's heart. At that moment, only one thought appeared in his mind.

'I WANT THIS GIRL..'

The thought itself shocked Mo Liu all the way to the core of his soul. He never thought that he had such a desire towards a young girl. Her mature behavior made her unable to see Ming Yue as a mere young girl. Mo Liu could only see her as a woman.

Living on the dark side for a long time, Mo Liu knew many kinds of women but never in his life did he meet a woman like 'Little Moon'. Cruelty, arrogance, indifference, coldness, it was only for his enemies. Yet she was a kind woman and gentle enough to want to avenge those ghosts so that they could rest in peace, not to mention she was also protective of the people she cared about. Moreover, her beauty was also like she was not from this world, there was no woman who was like Ming Yue in this world.

Only Ming Yue was the only one unique...

This time Mo Liu, the leader of the famous Red Tiger Gang with his cold and ruthless demeanor, was completely captivated by Ming Yue's charm.

Ming Yue who did not know that her ruthless behavior had captivated the famous leader of the Red Tiger, listened to the lesson calmly. Now that he was cultivating, Ming Yue could create a barrier around the classroom so that no ghosts could enter. He was finally able to study quietly.

A few hours passed and school ended. Ming Yue stood up, carrying her backpack. He was about to walk to the door when someone called his name in a sweet voice and without looking, Ming Yue knew who the owner of the voice was.

"Sister Ming Yue..." Qing Xu Lin called out his name.

Ming Yue turned around and met with her gaze, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Lin coldly, "Is there something?"

"Yes." Yeah." Ming Yue only gave a short answer.

"How can you throw us away? We care so much about you and-"

Xu Lin's words were cut off by Ming Yue's cold laughter. "Carers? You and your family?" Ming Yue asked in a tone of disbelief. “If caring means I should be treated as a slave in your home, then you need to learn more about the word 'Care'. What exactly did your family do? I pay my own tuition, I just eat the rest of your family and I sleep in the basement." Ming Yue said loudly, clearly she was annoyed by Xu Lin's words.

The classmates who heard what Ming Yue said, they gasped and looked at Xu Lin with suspicion in their eyes. Xu Lin's face turned pale at Ming Yue's bold behavior, as if the previous Ming Yue was nothing at all.

"It killed you, didn't it?" Ming Yue spoke amusedly.

"What?" The dazed Xu Lin, only gave such a response.

"The thing that killed you so much was that I escaped the clutches of your family and was adopted by the Wu family, right?" Ming Yue asked, "You are the one who always thinks that others are beneath you. Especially me, you underestimated me because I was dumped by my own parents."

"I don't care what you think and what you do, even your fake appearance BUT .." Ming Yue exuded her bloodlust as she filled the entire class. "If you try to screw me up, I'll destroy YOU and your family. I said it clearly and loudly to be heard by others. I, Ming Yue, will destroy the Qing Family if they try to disturb me. I don't even care if you all die."

"You...!! P*lacur Cursed Damn it!!!" Qing Xu Lin shouted furiously, he had forgotten his white lotus acting. It surprised all the classmates because what they knew about Xu Lin was his gentle and kind behavior. Now the seed of suspicion had been planted in their hearts. They began to wonder if what Ming Yue said was true.

Ming Yue laughed, clearly amused. From the corner of his eyes, he saw his friends coming.

"Leader! What's going on?" mu Chen asked hurriedly, he looked at Xu Lin whose face resembled the evil ghosts from those horror movies.

"Nothing, just a p*lacur shouting the word 'prostitute'" Mingyu said.

"You!!" Xu Lin shouted furiously as he raised his hand, wanting to slap Ming Yue but Ming Yue grabbed his wrist and slapped him instead.

*PLAK!!*

The sound of a slap echoed in that class but it was not over. Ming Yue then grabbed Xu Lin by the neck and gripped him tightly. Xu Lin began to struggle for air, he looked at Ming Yue in horror.

Ming Yue chuckled softly, "I told you so, right? Play with me and I will destroy you. Should I destroy you here, right now?" Ming Yue tightened her grip, her eyes still like water. It was as if he did not care about Xu Lin's life at all.

Suddenly something stuck on his back and a large warm hand touched his hand. "Enough, Ming Yue." a deep voice that sounded so soft could be heard, a voice that he was very familiar with. "You don't have to be like this. This girl has got the message." The large hand gently removed Ming Yue's finger from Xu Lin's neck.

Ming Yue was astonished, her breathing started to become erratic as the faint fragrance she knew well hit her nostrils. He just stood there frozen without turning around to see who it was. He does not need to turn around, because in the past this person was the only love of his life.

But.not anymore...

"What are you doing here..?" Ming Yue asked in a cold tone. "..Long Zhi Qiang..."

Long Zhi Qiang muttered softly in his ear, "..I came to pick you up, Yueku."
