Chapter 2: The Old Monk's Spring Desire

  Just as Qin Lang was unable to accept this sudden change in identity and was stunned, more than a dozen reinforcement police cars, several TV stations and news media interview vehicles drove into the scene, and ambulances also rushed to rescue the injured students.

  "Fall back! Fall back!"

  Reinforced police forces armed with live ammunition opened a cordon.

  Reporters from various media outlets jumped off the press bus and started reporting with their cameras, occasionally interviewing students who were watching from the sidelines.

  The atmosphere on the scene became even more intense, those students who had always lived in an ivory tower, rarely experienced such a sudden event, and were full of wonder at everything that was happening before their eyes, either whispering to each other or shouting loudly, without any thought of Qin Lang's tension.

  "Excuse me, student, what's your opinion on the malicious incident that happened in our school?" A male journalist was interviewing a female student on the west side of the crowd.

  The boys around her couldn't help but steal glances at this girl, rolling their Adam's apples and swallowing hard.

  No wonder these boys have a pig-like appearance, the girl is called Qi Linglong, and she is the school flower of Ping'an Middle School. To stand out among so many students and become the school flower, her looks are naturally extremely beautiful. Plus that sweet and slightly arrogant temperament, given time, she will definitely be a stunning beauty who brings ruin to the country and its people.

  "Sorry, I don't have any comment." Qi Lingling politely declined the journalist's interview.

  The male journalist refused to give up and continued to ask questions, but still got a cold and indifferent response. The male journalist who had been rebuffed took out a business card, "This is my card, I work at the TV station, recently our TV station is doing a program that needs an outdoor host of student age, I think your image and temperament are very suitable, if you're interested, we can contact each other privately."

  "Please, your pickup line is too outdated, our Linglong wouldn't even give you a glance." Before Qi Linglong could say anything, her best friend Gao Li, who was holding onto her arm, had already rejected him.

  After the male reporter left dejectedly, Gao Li sighed and said enviously: "Alas, a school belle is indeed a school belle. Look at that, the reporter just now was completely focused on talking to you and didn't even glance at me. I wish I were half as beautiful as you."

  "I'd rather be ordinary, so I wouldn't be bothered by these flies every day." Qi Linglong said with a pout.

  Gao Li felt a pang of jealousy in her heart, as the best friend of the school flower, she had many advantages, but having been a green leaf for so long, it was hard to avoid feeling unbalanced.

  "Linglong, do you think Qin Lang will really be killed by that madman?" Gaoli asked, changing the subject.

  "I don't know." Qi Lingling shook her head indifferently.

  "I'm guessing you must be overjoyed. Heh heh, he's your nominal fiancé, and yet you're so cold to him. If you really die at the hands of that madman, wouldn't it be a relief for you in the future?" As her best friend, Gao Li knew about Qi Linglong's engagement, which only a handful of people were aware of.

  Qī Línglóng furrowed her brow, but didn't say a word.

  Gao Li wanted to dig deeper into the topic, satisfying her burning curiosity, but was interrupted by a hysterical voice.

  "Damn it, so many people coming and you think I'd be afraid? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of heaven or earth."

  The source of the sound was Zhao Tiezhu, who was surrounded by a crowd of people.

  As the police presence increased and media reporters arrived, Zhao Tiezhu's emotions became increasingly anxious.

  He frantically waved the kitchen knife, his arm also fiercely tightening around Qin Lang's neck, as if to vent his grievances on Qin Lang.

  Qin Lang, who was immersed in the great shock of his identity transformation, was suffocated by this stifling feeling and came back to his senses.

  "Transmigration, it's actually transmigration! How could such a thing happen to me?"

  Qin Lang, who had come back to his senses, was filled with incredulity and his mind was in a state of utter chaos. After accepting the memory information from the original owner of this body, he finally realized that what had happened to him was actually soul snatching.

  He had long heard of the concept of "夺舍" (body snatching), a method used by cultivators as a last resort to extend their lifespan by borrowing another body, but it was said that not even one in ten thousand people could succeed.

  He couldn't understand why he had the phenomenon of robbery, and he even succeeded in robbing, when he hadn't made any moves to rob.

  Not only that, he also crossed two worlds from the original Dan Ding continent to this world called Earth, giving him a sense of fantasy, as if in a dream.

  Unfortunately, he could no longer afford to delve deeper into thought at this moment, for the suffocating sensation emanating from his chest cavity made him aware of an intense crisis.

  "No way, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll be strangled to death. Other problems can be put aside for now, let's first get rid of the crisis in front of us."

  Recognizing the situation clearly, Qin Lang instinctively wanted to save himself.

  But he soon found out that things were not so easy.

  Although he didn't have time to examine the condition of this new body, he could clearly feel that it was extremely weak, even among ordinary people, it belonged to the particularly frail kind.

  With this body, he didn't have the ability to get rid of Zhao Tiezhu's control behind him.

  "No magic treasures, no cultivation, and not even a bit of strength in his entire body. What's to be done?"

  Enduring an increasingly intense feeling of suffocation, Qin Lang racked his brains in thought.

  "Got it!"

  For an instant, Qin Lang's eyes suddenly lit up.

  All that could be seen was his belly hidden under his clothes, which suddenly began to swell and shrink in a rhythmic manner, looking very much like a standing toad at first glance.

  This is a very ordinary breathing method on the Dan Ding continent, called "Huan Yuan Breathing Method". It does not require any cultivation foundation, even ordinary people can use it. However, it requires the consumption of an extremely small amount of human life yuanqi, but basically will not produce any harm.

  And its benefit is that it can avoid being suffocated when breathing is not smooth, which just meets Qin Lang's current requirements.

  More importantly, Huan Yuan breathing method can also accumulate physical strength and burst potential.

  Although Qin Lang's body is now very weak and has little strength, if he accumulates his power and concentrates it, at the most critical moment, seizes the opportunity to explode, he still has confidence in relying on close combat skills to take down this fierce thug.

  As the yuan breath method started to work, Qin Lang's unsmooth breathing situation was greatly alleviated, and the energy and potential transformed from burning life yuan qi also quietly gathered.

  Having solved the pressing danger, Qin Lang still didn't let his guard down, because the knife in Zhao Tiezhu's hand was still posing a threat to him at all times.

  He was wary of Zhao Tiezhu's actions while paying attention to the changes on the police side, and for him now, the presence of the police was an important help in resolving the crisis.

  Just as Qin Lang was observing in the dark, the middle-aged policeman who had been communicating with Zhao Tiezhu on the police side stood up again, across the cordon line, and shouted to Zhao Tiezhu: "Brother Tiezhu, please don't get excited, as long as you're willing to let go of that student in your hand, we can discuss any conditions."

  "I've got nothing to discuss with you cops." Zhao Tiezhu bluntly rejected the other party's intention to talk, "If you want me to release someone, let that cheap woman Mei Yuxuan come out and see me."

  As soon as this was said, the scene suddenly erupted into a commotion.

  Mei Yu Yan is not an unfamiliar name to the teachers and students of Ping'an No. 1 Middle School. She is the art teacher of this school, and her beauty and gentle temperament have made many male teachers and students regard her as their goddess in their hearts. There are always suitors around her, but she has never been seen having close contact with any opposite sex.

  Now hearing the mad bandit mention Mei Yu Yan's name, and even calling her a "worthless person", the surrounding teachers and students suddenly started discussing in surprise.

  There are rumors circulating that this madman had a dispute with Mei teacher and Qian Dabing in the office this morning, apparently over emotional issues. Later, this madman was beaten by Qian Dabing and chased out. Afterwards, this madman took a knife and rushed into the office, but couldn't find Mei Yuxuan and Qian Dabing, so he started slashing at passing students.

  The uninformed onlookers finally learned about the cause of the incident.

  Everyone is shocked and curious about the emotional dispute between Mei Yu Yan and this madman.

  No matter how you look at it, a goddess like Teacher Mei and Zhao Tiezhu, who can't even be mentioned in the same breath as her, can't have any connection.

  Since even silk is out of the question, naturally there's no such thing as a "silk counterattack goddess".

  "Teacher Mei wouldn't have such a heavy taste, would she? Leaving aside the many talented young men and instead getting entangled in emotions with this crazy person who came from who-knows-where, I feel like I won't be able to love again." A male student said with a broken heart.

  When everyone was shocked by the news, a police officer holding a mobile phone hastily walked to the middle-aged policeman who was holding a loudspeaker and said: "Captain Gao, Zhao Tiezhu's family has been contacted."

  The middle-aged policeman, known as Captain Gao, was overjoyed and confirmed that the person on the other end of the phone was Zhao Tiezhu's father. He then connected his mobile phone to a loudspeaker using an audio cable, and the voice from the phone immediately came out through the loudspeaker.

  "Rail, I'm your dad." A loud and clear voice with a local accent came from the horn.

  Hearing his own father's voice, Zhao Tiezhu, who had been in a state of frenzy all along, suddenly came to a halt and calmed down.

  "The police said you ran to Xiaomei's school and even stabbed someone with a knife. That Xiaomei is not a good thing, if it wasn't for our family supporting her education with money back then, she wouldn't even have enough food to eat. Now that she's living in the city, she doesn't care about us who helped her out anymore, and she even denies the engagement between you and Tiezhu from back then. Dad is telling you, don't be afraid, it's just a few people getting stabbed, we're going to make that Xiaomei see that we're not easy to bully."

  As the old man's voice slowly finished speaking, the scene suddenly became eerily quiet for a moment before bursting into laughter.

  However, the message revealed in this remark also caused a stir among many students. They dared not imagine that their goddess-like teacher Mei would have such a clichéd past and was actually someone who burned her bridges after crossing them.

  "It's indeed true that 'a family's reputation is reflected in its members', and 'like father, like son'. Captain Gao hastily turned off the loudspeaker. He had originally hoped to persuade Zhao Tiezhu through his family members, but unexpectedly, Zhao Tiezhu's father was even more shameless, brazenly inciting his son to commit a crime."

  "Hahaha!"

  Zhao Tiezhu also burst out laughing, and with his father's encouragement, he seemed to be filled with strength, and even more unrestrained in expressing his brutal emotions.

  About ten minutes later, a student in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Look, Teacher Mei is here."

  Immediately, everyone's gaze shifted towards a figure walking over.

  Qin Lang also shifted his gaze to this figure, a young woman in her early twenties. Although she was only wearing a simple woolen coat, it couldn't hide her lovely face and slender figure. Even Qin Lang, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but admit that she was a stunning beauty.

  But for some reason, after seeing the owner of the figure clearly, his heart suddenly accelerated, and a sweet and shy feeling rose inexplicably in his heart.

  This sudden psychological change startled Qin Lang.

  "How could I have such a feeling? Is it because this person is strange?"

  Perplexed Qin Lang immediately became vigilant towards the newcomer.

  He continued to observe his opponent while rummaging through his memories in an attempt to find the answer, and soon he found the root of his psychological changes from his memories.

  The original owner of this body had secretly harbored affection for the beautiful female teacher, and from the moment he laid eyes on Miss Mei, he was infatuated with her, even having wet dreams about her.

  Qin Lang was truly at a loss for words. To think that in his hundreds of years of cultivation, he had always been diligent and devoted to the study of alchemy, and had never been interested in women, just like an old monk in meditation, his heart unmoved by any woman's charms.

  Who would have thought that now it's just seeing a woman's figure, easily causing such complex fluctuations in the heart.

  "It seems that the aftereffects of possessing this body are more severe than I imagined. Although I've merged with its memories, I've also been strongly influenced by them, and it's likely that even my personality will change as a result. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

  Qin Lang secretly sighed and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
