The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl Chapter 102

Very good? Really? Wind leaned in to get a better look at what Feng Wu was reading. The title was The Complete Guide to Herbal Medicine. This kind of book was "very good?"

Wind's lip quirked a little. He and Feng Wu definitely did not live in the same world.

There were so many books. Wind and Rain felt like they were being buried alive. They got up and moved around.

Jier and Pei Qing were of the same mind. Reading occasionally was fine, but reading hour after endless hour… it was too much! They weren't nerds. They couldn't take this lifestyle!

They weren't the only ones gloomy and depressed, the librarian was feeling it too. Since they showed up, foot traffic had dramatically decreased. The number of checkouts had also halved. He was quite eager for them to leave!

What was more, they were ruthless in their dedication in visiting every single day. But the thing of it was they weren't even reading! It looked like they were just using the library as a hang out. They would sleep and chat, but rarely read. The only one who read was the cute one. She was genuinely diligent in her studies.

"Why don't we use the time to discuss our plan. Which one of you will be seducing Lady Minerva?" Rain was bored to death; she needed some stimulation. She didn't care that her topic made the boys glare at her.

Pei Qing had a romance novel in his hand when he heard the question. "Didn't we decide on Wind?"

"What?! We never decided that! Stop talking rubbish! You're the one obviously going!"

"Whatever! One of you needs to go because I'm not," declared Jier.

"What - Why?!" The two turned to Jier, unwilling to be the sacrifice.

"Because I'm the captain."

Such a good reason. They couldn't argue.

Just then a commotion erupted at the entrance of the library and a beautifully dressed lady with four guards appeared.

"Motherfucker! Who is that?! Did he draw the wrong lot at birth?!" Wind cried out in alarm and fright as he pointed his bandaged finger at the figure by the entrance.

"I think that might be a man dressed as a… woman?" Jier guessed after examining the person some more.

Pei Qing propped his book in front of his face hiding his mouth. "No, can't say for sure, but some girls just look like guys."

Not far away were two other girls. They had also seen the new entrant and were pointing as well.

"It's Lady Minerva. I heard she and Sir Germaine are getting married. I would have thought she'd be busy planning the wedding. How unexpected to see her here."

"You forget what house she belongs to. Lady Minerva is the queen's cousin. Stuff like planning the wedding, there are other people to do that. All she has to do is show up on the wedding day."

The two girls were whispering softly to each other but Jier was a master, so of course he heard every word.

"No way! That's not a man or a woman. It's the famed beauty Lady Minerva?!" Rain was aghast. The other guys nearly peed in their pants; they were so shocked.

"No way! I don't have to guts to seduce that!" Wind cried out, truly intimidated. He spread his arms out and grabbed the edge of the table, hugging his body tight to the top, unwilling to let go.

"Hey you scoundrels! You dare pretend to be disabled and read for free?! You must not want to live anymore! Come here so I can take care of you!"

"You big idiot! Your hand is supposed to be injured! How are you going to explain hugging the table like that?!" Rain grabbed a book and chucked it at Wind. The big book smacked into him like a brick.

Jier and Pei Qing were also angry; this fool just ruined their plan! Both of them threw a book at him.

While Wind was dodging the attacks, Jier grabbed Feng Wu and ran. Rain and Pei Qing were right behind them. Wind was a little slower.

Naturally the moment they made a move the guards gave chase.

"Hey! Stay still! Stop running!"

"You sons of a bitches! You think you can get away?!"

Even the librarian got in on the chase. He and the four imperial guards from Lady Minerva made a fierce team. They were catching up, getting closer and closer.

Jier and the guys weren't stupid. After running around the library some, they made for the entrance. Who made a library with only one entrance?! Not even a single back door!

The only way out was the entrance, but Lady Minerva was blocking the door.

This wasn't a problem for Jier. He unhesitatingly shoved her out of the way and ran straight through. Lady Minerva teetered left and right, clearly about to fall over. Pei Qing had no choice but to reach out and grab her so she wouldn't fall.

"Be careful miss." After uttering this sentence he immediately made to continue his escape. Unexpectedly, despite looking like she had no fighting abilities, she managed to grab Pei Qing's hand and hold on to him.

"Hold on moment! Stay with this lady!" With a simple gaze, Lady Minerva directed a strong, powerfully built man to come forward.

He immediately stepped up and grabbed Pei Qing, who was now very frightened, and promptly tied him up. Any opening for escape vanished.

Jier and the others took advantage of Pei Qing's sacrifice and escaped.

"Well that worked out. Lady Minerva saved us the trouble of deciding who'll be the guy in the "male honey trap." Wind spoke out from his hiding place behind the library doors. He patted his chest in relief. Lucky. Now his heart could relax.

"Pei Qing is truly amazing. Only just met and he managed to make her head over heels." Jier phrased Pei Qing for his efficiency.

"We don't have to save him?" Feng Wu had heard Pei Qing shout for help. She looked at everyone's indifferent faces as she seriously pondered a rescue plan.
