Chapter 442 - The First Song of Qin (15) (1/2)

Chapter 442 : The First Song of Qin (15)Shi Sheng felt like the merchant had much foresight in giving her condoms as a lottery prize—there were a bunch of couples doing the dirty in the dark on the way from her dorms to the school gates.

Shi Sheng handed out condoms as she went. The once heavy box only had one left by the time she made it to the gate.

Shi Sheng checked her surroundings. She didn’t see anyone else she could give the last one to, so she could only put it back in her pocket.

She hailed a cab to go to Qin Ge’s apartment. She was planning on using her previous strategy of climbing the outer walls and then getting in through the window.

When she reached the back of the apartment, she saw the walls that were clearly higher than before, if not yet completely dry.

‘What the…fuck? The building managers are being a bit too professional!’

The wall was now also completely bare—the climbing vines from before were gone. Her current spirit energy levels weren’t sufficient for her to fly up there either.

Shi Sheng scratched the wall. ‘I can’t breathe… System, get out here. I wanna chat with you. Let’s talk about the stars.’

[……] ‘I’m innocent; why am I so unlucky, even when I didn’t do anything.’

Due to the height of the walls and lack of leverage points, the only way she was getting up would be if her sword was available.

But her sword…was still levelling up.

Shi Sheng squatted down next to the wall at the corner and went through the things in her space. Only after a good while did she find a ladder. The name of this ladder was quite something: Cloud-Scaling Ladder. It was rumoured to allow one to ascend even the heavens.

Whether this was true, Shi Sheng didn’t know. What she did know was that there was definitely no problem using it to scale a wall.

The Cloud-Scaling Ladder was the size of her thumb. It lay quietly in the palm of her hand.

‘How do I use this thing though? Do I insert spirit energy?’

Nothing happened.

‘Do I need an incantation or something?’

“Mami mami hong…”

“Big big big…”

The Cloud-Scaling Ladder showed no response whatsoever.

‘Do I need to become its master by giving it blood?’

Shi Sheng pulled a knife out from somewhere and pricked her fingertip, allowing a drop of blood to fall on the Cloud-Scaling Ladder.

Shi Sheng felt the spirit energy surging quickly in the air, most of it pouring into the Cloud-Scaling Ladder. But soon, all the spirit energy in the surroundings was sucked dry. The Cloud-Scaling Ladder still showed no change.

There wasn’t enough spirit energy…

‘*flips table*! This can’t change sizes as easily as my sword!’

“What are you doing?”

This sudden voice gave Shi Sheng a scare. She turned to look at the speaker. Qin Ge was standing nearby and staring at her oddly.

He’d witnessed her muttering and then cut her finger…

#I think my student might have a mental problem…#

“Professor Qin, long time no see.” Shi Sheng calmly put the trolling Cloud-Scaling Ladder away before greeting Qin Ge with a smile.

He ignored her and walked towards the gate to his apartment building.

“Prof, what’ve you been up to so late?” Shi Sheng chased after him.

‘How’s it any of your business what I went out for? You don’t even attend my class, and yet you want to stick your nose into my affairs? Hmph!’

“What are you doing out here so late?”

It was already nearing midnight.

‘Isn’t she afraid she’ll run into baddies by coming here?’

Professor Qin felt very unhappy.

“Waiting for you ah.”

Qin Ge, “…”

He suddenly felt a bit better.

When they reached the gate to his apartment building, Qin Ge swiped his card and entered. Since the entrance was only wide enough for one person, Shi Sheng ended up blocked outside.

So she used the card-swiping pillar as leverage to vault over.

The security guard stared with his mouth agape. ‘Girl, do you think I’m invisible or something? Girls nowadays are really bold in chasing good-looking guys…’

“Mr Qin.” The security guard hurriedly walked over and looked at Shi Sheng warily. “Do you require any assistance?”

Qin Ge really wanted to let him throw her out. But of course, he didn’t put it into action. He was afraid she’d climb in through his window again.

“She’s my student, it’s fine.”
