Ye Mu and Luo Qi emerged from the elevator with grim expressions, their gazes fixed on the struggling figure of the little胖子 on the ground.
Ye Mu stepped over the three people in front of him and picked up his backpack, dusting off the dirt.
Luo Qi crossed his arms and looked at the group, stating coldly, "Who are you people? Don't you know it's dangerous to throw things into the elevator?"
The little胖子 on the ground was finally helped up by his two friends. His nose was red from being hit, and his small eyes, squeezed by the flesh of his cheeks, narrowed, glinting with hatred as he looked at Luo Qi.
"How dare you hit me with your backpack!"
He furiously pointed a finger at Luo Qi. "It was just a prank. Even a three-year-old on our planet wouldn't get angry over a prank."
Luo Qi scratched his ear, suddenly feeling that the words sounded familiar. The last person who spoke to him like this, Zhao Ri Tian, had long since been won over by his personal (Insect Race) charm (martial prowess) and become his good friend.
It was the year 8222, and there were still such brats talking like this? Hadn't their parents told them to be low-key when out and about?
Ye Mu walked to Luo Qi and stopped, subtly blocking him from behind.
His mood was currently very bad. He had finally gotten the chance to attend primary school on Earth with Luo Qi, only to nearly have bugs and snakes thrown all over his face on the very first day.
He couldn't even imagine the consequences if Luo Qi had been injured.
He looked at the little胖子 in front of him, narrowing his eyes. "Do you know that at least one-fifth of those things are poisonous?"
The little胖子 grinned, but it seemed to pull at the wound on his nose, causing him to hiss in pain.
"Of course, I know they're poisonous. Isn't this supposed to be the best primary school on Earth? Are you, Meng, incapable of attending school here?
Besides, what if I got poisoned? At worst, I'll just pay you money."
Luo Qi's fists clenched. Where did this brat come from?
The little胖子's two followers seemed to agree with him, as if they had done such things before.
"You're just lucky that our young master played a joke on you. Otherwise, our young master wouldn't bother with you!"
Another one raised his fist towards Luo Qi and Ye Mu. "Hey! You hit our young master, so you should apologize!"
Luo Qi was furious. Young master? What an ancient and feudal term!
Moreover, considering all the planets in this galaxy, whose backing was stronger than his?
He had never lost when it came to background, but it was too boring to bring up parents for every little thing in primary school.
He peeked out from behind Ye Mu. "You should apologize first. You were the one who threw bugs in the elevator. What if someone got hurt?"
The little胖子 pushed away the hands of the two people supporting him. "I apologize? I, Lei Wa, the divine son of the Giant God Star, would apologize to you inferior beings?
You are defying the will of the gods and committing blasphemy!"
Luo Qi was startled. "Giant God Star?"
Ye Mu pulled Luo Qi behind him and whispered an introduction.
"The Giant God Star is a massive star system. They are the most ancient race in this galaxy, appearing at least before the birth of humans and insectoids.
They are also one of the few races with innate racial inheritance. It is said they can also use magic?"
Ye Mu frowned at this point, seemingly unsure of the right adjective.
"Magic or mysterious powers? Curses? That is a realm completely unknown to outsiders."
Luo Qi pondered. It sounded somewhat like the gods in ancient Greek mythology, though perhaps not entirely the same.
And hearing it from this little胖子 so seriously felt a bit like chuunibyo.
Lei Wa looked at Luo Qi and Ye Mu smugly. "Scared, aren't you? Hurry up and apologize to this young master!"
A little胖子 with an ancient Greek god's name, calling himself "this young master," created a rather absurd sense of incongruity.
Luo Qi chuckled. "Even if you were the Giant God himself, you should apologize when you've done something wrong."
Lei Wa's expression turned cold. However, his face was so pale and plump that when his expression turned cold, he looked like a large white steamed bun, lacking any intimidation and instead appearing rather amusing.
Luo Qi continued, "Even if you don't apologize, you should at least clean up these bugs and snakes.
I don't know if casually throwing bugs and snakes is the upbringing of a divine race?"
This statement seemed to hit a nerve with Lei Wa, his expression growing colder. He roared,
"A Ming, A Liang, teach them a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two tall and thin children beside him immediately assumed a fighting stance, brandishing their fists and glaring at Ye Mu and Luo Qi.
Luo Qi frowned fiercely. He was already very angry, and now, let the little prince of the Insect Race compete with this young master of some divine race.
"Ye Mu, if we fight now, do we still need to call our parents?"
Ye Mu's lips curved into a smile. "That depends on whether they'll cry when they lose."
Lei Wa, overhearing their dismissive laughter, was so enraged that he stumbled backward. He rolled up his sleeves and charged at them.
The two, A Ming and A Liang, were clearly trained from a young age to follow Lei Wa.
They moved with practiced coordination, one attacking from above and the other from below, blocking all of Ye Mu's escape routes. If Ye Mu retreated, he would only fall onto the bugs in the elevator.
Ye Mu lowered his center of gravity and exerted force on his ankle. Just as the two were about to reach him, Ye Mu slid past them from the side in an extremely contorted posture, dodging them.
A Ming, lunging from above, couldn't retract his attack in time and landed his hands on the elevator floor, nearly having an intimate encounter with a centipede.
After being pulled up by A Liang, he attacked Ye Mu again.
On the other side, Lei Wa charged at Luo Qi like a tank, barreling forward. If Luo Qi were hit by him, he would surely be sent flying.
Fortunately, he had learned something in Teacher Li Ya's class. He bent his knees, bowed, and wrapped his arms around Lei Wa's waist. With a surge of strength from his core, he threw Lei Wa backward forcefully.
Lei Wa landed on his hands, rolled over, and tried to get up, but Luo Qi, rushing from behind, pinned him to the ground.
Lei Wa's strength was considerable, more than Luo Qi could handle. Therefore, Luo Qi didn't confront him head-on. He balled his fist and landed a punch on Lei Wa's soft stomach, then quickly got up and dodged.
Although Ye Mu was dealing with two opponents, he seemed more at ease than Luo Qi and even had time to ask, "Can you handle it?"
Luo Qi, also fired up, chuckled. "Watch this prince make him cry!"
