Beauty is a Beast

3 - The New Student

Chapter 3: The New Student

The tip of the rose stems where sharp. She stabs her thigh and Li Wei wakes up. Her red eyes turn golden, and her aura calms again.

'I'm not yet strong, I can't still control it.'

White Rose. The people started calling her that way. And she loves the people calling her that. The white rose is her favorite flower. She likes the color of it. 'Cause it means 'purity' and 'innocence'...

The maid and Feng An shuddered. The miss became like this because of that woman! That witch! She transforms this young lady into something not human. A puppet. A killing machine.

Many died in her hands. Her hands had been soak by people's blood, innocent or not. Li Wei had become the person that the witch wanted her to be.

"Young miss...young miss is so scary, Feng An." The maid cried. This wasn't the innocent miss that she grew up with.

"Shhh." Feng An patted her back. He understands what the maid is feeling right now, cause he too felt very scared of her. He too knows that the woman, who gave him light had changed...

She was a beauty that can ruin cities. A beast that can kill hundreds.

But these two knows that she's doing her best to control it. They know that she was scared. Scared that if she ever loses her mind again...without any questions, she will kill them. she was afraid that she will also lose these people who help her and cared for her.

"Meimei." She called. The maid hurriedly scuffles her way towards her.

"You call me, my lady?"

"Prepare a bath for me."

"Yes, this maid will do what the lady says."

Li Wei removed her clothes and soak her body in the warm water. She didn't bother about her wound. She just sat there, in a daze.

For a while, she closes her eyes and tried to relax. She thought if she will be able to return to her own world. She thinks if she got stronger here in this world and return, can she able to kill that witch? Her stepmother?

She would be happy to do that. But right now, she's still weak. The witch can use magic while her, she can use her fist. That is not enough. She would be in the disadvantage if they battle.

She smiled coldly. Her stepmother is smart. The Queen knows that she will betray her. So, she only taught her about blades.

If she has an advantage, the witch would suffer an ultimate defeat. Her body had been trained since childhood that's why her body can achieve some pretty heavy blow. And with her cultivation, partner with martial arts, her moves would be definitely lethal.

Opening her eyes, she grabbed a white robe that they had purchased in the city. The silk is of pretty high quality and the currency that they use are the same, it would be a problem if it doesn't.

Getting out of the tub she wore the white robe. This kind of clothing is very different from the clothes they had usually wear.

"Not bad." She muttered. The robe is light, it can be used for fighting if ever someone wants some trouble; she can easily retaliate a kick back.

"My lady, your horse carriage is ready and the things you need for school are already inside."

"En." She answered and came out of the room. When she set her foot outside, she saw Feng An dress as a coachman. She nodded at him and proceeded to climb the carriage.

Feng An finds a school in the capital. It's a school named the Imperial Academy. Where young misses and young masters learn the four arts. Which is, chess, music, calligraphy, and painting.

Li Wei already learns the three but she doesn't know how to play chess! Since she already knows the three arts, her life in the school might be a boring one. Or so she thought.

Never would have Li Wei thought that her life in this world is just beginning. Never would she thought that her life would turn a little bit chaotic.

￣へ￣￣へ￣￣へ￣

Inside the Imperial Academy. Young misses and young masters are chatting together. They heard they have a new student today. If it's a handsome young man, the girls would be happy. If it's a pretty girl, the boys would be elated to know her. This the first time, that the academy accepted a new student in the middle of the year, where classes had already started.

A carriage with intricate designs on the outside stop at the gate of the academy. All students subconsciously stop and wait for the person to climb down.

The handsome coachman immediately came down to open the curtain of the carriage. He then offered his hands to the person inside. Long slender hands appear on everyone's sight. Naturally, the young masters of every household were very excited.

With that white jade hands that look so soft. They knew it was a girl.

Contrary to the boys, the young ladies immediately frown. In their minds, this girl would be a new rival. They thought that Li Wei is the same as them; a girl that would fall to the man they had long fancy.

A girl wearing a spotless white robe came down from the carriage. Her golden eyes shining as she looked at her surroundings. Her face carried chilliness but the people cannot help but be attracted to her.

She was a peerless beauty!

The new student is a peerless beauty!
