Chapter 10: Nemesis of Aunt Flo

Eight o’clock sharp.

Ding-ling~

The class bell rang.

The first lesson of the morning was called “History of the Divine Banyan,” a subject dedicated to the history of humanity’s home—the Myriad Vast Divine Banyan—and the history of this colossal divine tree.

To a certain extent, it was also the history of humanity itself.

The teacher was a beautiful married woman named Ye Qin, around thirty years old, the age when a woman possessed the greatest mature charm.

Naturally, this was the favorite class of all the boys in the classroom.

Ye Qin quickly walked into the classroom and first announced a piece of news.

“Everyone, a squad of Black Armor Army warriors has arrived at the school entrance.”

The students instantly erupted into an uproar.

Cheng Han’s heart skipped a beat.

The authorities had finally taken action!

Ye Qin raised both hands, signaling everyone to quiet down, before revealing another piece of news.

“Additionally, the Black Armor Army has issued orders that nobody may leave the school without permission.”

The classroom became even noisier.

The students had attended No.15 Middle School for three years, yet this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Naturally, all of them were extremely shocked.

A tall boy stood up and loudly asked,

“Teacher Ye, why has the Black Armor Army suddenly sealed off the school?”

This person was Fang Han.

His observation time during meditation class was close to fifty seconds, and the entire class recognized him as the top student with the greatest probability of condensing a seal.

Fang Han made a self-important guess.

“Could there be some kind of demon monster hiding in the school?”

The moment he said this, many students revealed frightened expressions.

Ye Qin immediately clarified the rumor.

“There are absolutely no monsters inside the school. The Black Armor Army came to No.15 Middle School precisely to protect everyone’s safety.”

However, because Fang Han had already set the tone, many students still remained half-convinced.

Even Qian Qingqing was no exception.

The little girl looked worried.

“What if the school gets attacked? What should we do?”

Cheng Han glanced at her and calmly replied,

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to the school.”

As the “mastermind” behind the incident, he naturally knew that the Black Armor Army’s true target was the Bloodhead Spider inside the textile factory.

The teacher was telling the truth. The Black Armor Army had specifically stationed troops at the school entrance in order to protect the students.

Qian Qingqing asked,

“How do you know?”

Cheng Han countered with another question.

“What kind of sacrifice do Evil Gods like the most?”

Qian Qingqing hesitated briefly before answering,

“Of course it’s souls.”

Cheng Han continued,

“Students haven’t reached eighteen yet. Their souls are obviously weaker than adults’. If you were an Evil God believer, would you choose students as sacrifices?”

Qian Qingqing suddenly understood, her tone filled with admiration.

“Cheng Han, you’re right!”

Then she lowered her voice.

“This Fang Han is talking nonsense. He scared me for nothing.”

At that moment, Wen Jie suddenly interrupted.

“That’s not necessarily true. Evil God believers are irrational lunatics. They’re capable of anything.”

Cheng Han could not even be bothered responding to him.

Everything foreseen by the Omniscient Eye had already proven one thing—

Evil God believers were merely crazy in behavior. They were not brainless idiots.

Qian Qingqing immediately shot back without hesitation.

“Wen Jie, are you stupid? You’re inside the school too. Are you actually hoping the place gets attacked?”

Wen Jie was instantly rendered speechless.

Bang! Bang!

Ye Qin forcefully knocked on the podium several times and loudly declared,

“Students, quiet down please. Class is starting now.”

The noisy chatter quickly disappeared.

Ye Qin cleared her throat and began lecturing gently.

“In the previous lesson, everyone studied the history of the Divine Banyan during the early Medieval Era. At that time, the Three Great Evil Gods were at the peak of their power.

“It’s worth noting that besides them, several weaker Evil Gods also existed during the early Medieval Era. Today, we’ll learn about these Evil Gods together…”

Cheng Han listened with complete focus.

In his previous world, humanity’s recorded history only spanned a few thousand years.

But in this world, human history stretched across an astonishing thirty thousand years.

Because of this, he possessed a strong interest in the subject.

The school provided one free lunch at noon, though the dishes were mostly vegetarian. Meat only appeared once every two days. Students from better-off families usually brought their own food.

When the bell signaling the end of the fourth class rang, students immediately flooded out of the classroom.

Just as Cheng Han was about to head to the cafeteria, he suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong with Qian Qingqing’s complexion. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed.

He asked with concern,

“Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Qian Qingqing bent over the desk, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

“My stomach hurts.”

Another boy might genuinely think she had a stomachache, but Cheng Han saw her covering her lower abdomen with her right hand and immediately understood the cause—

Her monthly visitor had arrived.

At her age, this was not especially early.

And menstrual cramps counted as a fairly common troublesome condition. Quite a large number of women suffered from it.

After hesitating briefly, Cheng Han asked,

“Do you want me to help you…”

He originally intended to offer to bring her food, but halfway through speaking, inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

“I have a method that might help relieve the pain.”

Qian Qingqing turned to look at him.

“What method?”

Cheng Han made a massage gesture.

“I’ll massage your lower abdomen.”

Qian Qingqing looked somewhat embarrassed.

“Isn’t that inappropriate?”

After all, there was still a distinction between boys and girls. Even though they were deskmates, she still felt extremely shy about it.

The little girl also looked doubtful.

“I’ve tried massaging it myself before. It didn’t help at all.”

Cheng Han smiled as he explained,

“This is my family’s secret technique. It’s completely different from ordinary massage methods.”

Qian Qingqing spat lightly.

“You’re an orphan. What family secret technique could you possibly have?”

Cheng Han persuaded her.

“Trying it won’t make you lose a piece of flesh. What if it actually works?”

He glanced around the empty classroom.

“Besides, everyone else has already left. Nobody will see us, so what are you afraid of?”

Perhaps because the pain was too intense, Qian Qingqing finally gave in.

“Fine.”

Cheng Han first vigorously rubbed both hands together until his palms became hot. Then he placed his right hand against the little girl’s abdomen and began gently massaging it.

At the same time, he activated the True Flame Residual Seal with his mind.

The halo surrounding the residual seal instantly brightened significantly and automatically began drawing in spiritual power.

Qian Qingqing’s pretty face first reddened slightly before changing into surprise.

“You only rubbed your hands a few times. How did they suddenly become so warm?”

Cheng Han smiled.

“My hand speed is relatively fast.”

Qian Qingqing clearly did not believe him.

“But…”

Cheng Han interrupted her.

“Does it feel any better?”

Qian Qingqing carefully sensed the changes for a moment before nodding.

“The pain really does seem lighter.”

She looked even more astonished.

“How did you do this?”

Cheng Han nodded in satisfaction.

“I told you. It’s a family secret technique.”

Inwardly, he added:

As expected of the True Flame Residual Seal. It can even treat menstrual cramps!

In his previous life, he had once read a news article about a woman suddenly suffering severe menstrual cramps. Coincidentally, there was a stone stool nearby. Unable to endure the pain, she sat down to rest.

At the time, it was summertime, and the stone stool had become scorching hot under the sun. After sitting there for a while, the woman unexpectedly found her pain greatly alleviated.

Cheng Han thought that since the residual seal originated from the sun and contained mysterious power, it surely could not be inferior to a sun-heated stone stool.

After more than ten seconds, Qian Qingqing suddenly cried out,

“My stomach doesn’t hurt at all anymore!”

Cheng Han withdrew his right hand and nodded.

“It seems the effect of the family secret technique is even better than I imagined.”

Qian Qingqing turned to look at her deskmate, admiration filling her eyes.

“Cheng Han, you’re amazing!”

The little girl understood perfectly well that the so-called “family secret technique” was merely an excuse. He most likely possessed some kind of secret method unknown to others.

Cheng Han smiled.

“You bring me breakfast so often. Helping you a little isn’t a big deal. Besides, for me, it’s only a small effort.”

Qian Qingqing sincerely said,

“Thank you!”

Cheng Han waved his hand dismissively.

“No need to be polite.”
