Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 282: IUD-CHAPTER 282 BROKE TO PIECES

Fang Li wasn’t surprised by the girl’s ability to easily knock down the criminals.

After all, in the Asterisk City, Genestellars were abundant, and there were many experts.

Among the Page One Ranking of the Six Great Academies, almost every one of them possessed the ability to accomplish such feats.

So, Fang Li wasn’t amazed by the girl’s abilities.

However, her familiarity with Fang Li caught his attention.

“I remember that I had ‘forgotten’ to introduce myself.” Fang Li tightly held the girl’s wrist and asked, “So how do you know me then?”

“Is that strange?” The girl seemed unbothered by Fang Li’s actions and allowed him to hold her.

Fang Li heard her words and spoke back, “It is strange.

In this city, famous students are like celebrities, and even outsiders might recognize them.

Unfortunately, I’m not a famous student.

I’m just a new student at Jie Long Seventh Institute who enrolled a little over a month ago.

I’m not on Page One, and I haven’t even made it to the Inner Ranking.

I’m a nobody.”

“No, no, no, you’re not a nobody,” The girl shook her head and smiled mysteriously.

“You’re the direct disciple of Banyuu Tenra, the Student Council President of Jie Long Seventh Institute.

How could you be a nobody?

In this Asterisk City, everyone knows Banyuu Tenra, and they’re aware that his disciples are exceptionally talented.

Each one of them can make it to the Inner Ranking.

Even among Jie Long Seventh Institute’s Page One, there are eleven spots reserved for Banyuu Tenra’s disciples.

So, even if you don’t have any achievements of your own, just being Banyuu Tenra’s disciple means you’re highly regarded, right?”

“In fact, you qualify for that level of recognition, right?” The girl closed one eye and smiled playfully.

“Knocking down all these criminals so easily, you definitely have Page One-level strength. And it seems like you weren’t even giving it your all, am I right?”

“Let’s call it even, shall we?” Fang Li sighed and said to the girl, “Also, you still haven’t answered my question.”

“…You’re really persistent,” The girl pouted, looking somewhat displeased.

“Boys like you can be quite annoying.”

“Unfortunately, I’m the kind of person who doesn’t give up easily,” Fang Li said, changing the subject.

“Although I’d like to continue this, you don’t seem like you have any ulterior motives. Continuing to pester you might be a bit too much.”

With that, Fang Li released the girl’s hand, and his decisive action left the girl momentarily stunned.

After a while, she helplessly said, “You’re such a peculiar person.”

“It’s a mutual feeling,” Fang Li replied with a sigh.

Then, he turned around, picked up his cell phone from the ground, which had fallen during the fight.

Fortunately, it wasn’t damaged, but the pendant on it might not have fared as well.

“Is it broken?” Fang Li picked up the pendant with a somewhat helpless expression.

The cartoon version of Sylvia on the pendant seemed to have been crushed, with her entire head missing.

Seeing this, Fang Li couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Diva’s head is scattered all over the ground.”

“Ugh…” The girl suddenly looked unhappy for some reason as she stepped forward, snatched the pendant from Fang Li’s hand without a word, and declared, “I’m confiscating this.”

“Eh?” Fang Li was immediately stunned.

“Why?”

“No reason.” The girl rolled her eyes, brought her face close to Fang Li’s, and teased, “Are you just unwilling to let me take your idol’s merchandise?”

As the girl approached in this disconcertingly close manner, Fang Li finally got a good look at her eyes, which had been hidden beneath her hat’s brim.

They were a pair of vibrant purple crystal-like eyes, shining brightly.

These lively eyes, combined with the girl’s cute appearance, somehow transformed her initially plain demeanor into something a bit more splendid.

Fang Li could only watch the girl’s face, which had come so close to his, and felt a sense of unease creeping over him.

Why does this face look so familiar?

With this thought in mind, Fang Li asked in confusion, “Have we met somewhere before?”

“Eh?” The girl blinked her eyes, then said somewhat amused, “Is this an attempt at flirting? Your approach seems a bit outdated, you know?”

“No…” Fang Li stared intently at the girl’s face and said, “It really feels like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

The girl’s face was already very close to his.

Being stared at so directly, anyone would think the other person might lean in for a kiss at any moment.

At this, the girl’s charming face couldn’t help but blush slightly.

She discreetly put some distance between them, cleared her throat, and said very deliberately, “It seems you’re not someone to be underestimated either.”

This statement left Fang Li somewhat stunned.

What did she mean by “not someone to be underestimated”?

“Alright, let’s get out of here quickly. If we stay here any longer, who knows what we might run into,” She said.

“If we wait around here, we might run into more trouble.”

With that, the girl turned around and started walking in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Fang Li could only suppress his questions and followed along.

…

“We’re here.”

In a small alley leading to the road outside, the girl stopped, pointed outside, and said, “You can exit from here, follow the road straight ahead, and you’ll reach the subway station. Take the subway, and you’ll be back at Jie Long Seventh Institute.”

“Understood.” Fang Li nodded and said, “Thank you for guiding me.”

“Don’t mention it. I also had quite an interesting time,” The girl said playfully and waved to Fang Li.

“So, we’ll part ways here. I hope you’ll remember me the next time we meet.”

“A person like you is hard to forget,” Fang Li spread out his hands and asked, “By the way, what is your name?”

“My name?” The girl lifted her gaze to Fang Li, then laughed lightly and said such a line.

“Just call me Sylvia.”

“Sylvia?” Fang Li was suddenly taken aback.

During this exchange, the girl untied a decorative ribbon from her wrist and handed it to Fang Li.

“Here, take this as a replacement for the confiscated merchandise. I’ve had it for a long time, so please don’t lose it, okay?”

With that, the girl walked back into the alley and quickly disappeared.

Fang Li, holding the green ribbon, finally understood.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder it felt so familiar.”
