Chapter 14 Horns and Bowels
Since there was no hope left, I decided to give up on the Southern Kingdom vacation. Cheating wasn’t an option for me; the punishment for getting caught was too severe. I didn’t want to spend my entire summer in Teacher Xiaozhen’s remedial classes. Besides, as the saying goes, “Better to fail than to disgrace oneself.”
I hated irrational things, and cheating was definitely one of them. However, I still felt the need to struggle, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. If I couldn’t go on vacation, at least Lianbing and Xue would definitely fail the exam on purpose.
Therefore, I decided to stick to my original plan and get extra help from Teacher Lily, preparing for the college entrance exam by accumulating knowledge from now on. After class, I didn’t skip the evening study session but went to the library, which I hadn’t visited in a long time, to find Teacher Lily.
When I mentioned going to the library, Lianbing and the others also said they wanted to come. I had to persuade them with great difficulty not to follow. If they came to the library with me, it would surely be a chaotic mess. Or rather, it might erupt into a ‘silent war,’ and such wordless scenes would be even more terrifying. They seemed to understand that too much arguing would only annoy me, so everyone compromised, letting me have my space. Thank goodness. As I reached the entrance, I remembered that there probably wasn’t a librarian. If there were, the library would be packed with men whose blood pressure had risen.
But since I was already here, I decided to go in. I had already informed the organization beforehand, so I didn’t have a mission tonight. This meant I could relax in the library, read manga, and enjoy some much-needed alone time. Finally, I could breathe. Was this the opposite of slacking off before an exam? No, it didn’t matter if I failed this exam anyway. Since I had already given up on the vacation, anything more casual would be fine.
I pushed open the library door and walked in. As expected, there were very few people, no different from before. Then, the first thing I saw was Teacher Lily.
“Teacher Lily?!” I exclaimed. I hadn’t expected Teacher Lily to be sitting at the library counter. This was truly unexpected. She wasn’t like the way I saw her during the day, but rather, she was wearing glasses as before – the “gloomy, zombie-like teacher” Yang Li, as everyone knew her. Perhaps because she was hiding her true self, the clothes she wore were more casual than during the day.
During the day, she wore black pantyhose with a professional skirt suit, buttoned up to her collar, and even wore gloves. Now, she was much more relaxed. Several buttons at her collar were undone, revealing her chest cleavage. The gloves were off and tossed on the table. Her legs were propped up on the desk, and she was slumped in her swivel chair, looking like a puddle of mud. If I were to walk to the other side of the desk, I might even see her underwear. She had gone too far! At least maintain your composure as a teacher!
However, even with her casual demeanor, no one looked at Teacher Lily. This was undoubtedly due to the illusion magic circle. But because of the Yata no Kagami in my mind, any hallucinatory magic, spells, or abilities were ineffective against me, as the Yata no Kagami could reflect people’s true selves. So, I was actually curious about what Lily looked like in everyone else’s eyes. How would such casual and seductive actions appear under the influence of the magic circle?
“Ugh?! Jun Cheng!” Lily flinched upon hearing my voice, attempting to stand up and grab the armrests of her swivel chair. But her hand slipped, and instead of getting up, she sank deeper. From my angle, I could no longer see her upper body.
I inwardly cursed, quickly activating Thought Acceleration. Then I realized my mistake. Lily’s appearance was unexpected, and I had carelessly called her ‘Teacher’ again. This single word likely brought her quite a penalty, causing her to slip.
In my field of vision, Lily’s legs on the desk were straightened, but her right leg could no longer support her and was raised. Her high heels flew into the air. Due to the counterforce, the swivel chair slid backward, and Lily’s body was about to slide off the chair. “Wow! This posture is terrible!” If this continued, Teacher Lily’s upper body would likely detach from the chair first, and she would fall headfirst to the floor.
I had heard news of people falling backward down stairs and breaking their necks. Although she was a succubus, her body should be strong, but she had horns! If her body slipped off the chair in this posture, the sharp tips of her goat-like horns would definitely hit the floor. She was still in the process of growing her horns. If her horns were bumped now, it would be like bumping her stomach during pregnancy! Terms like ‘pregnant fall,’ ‘miscarriage,’ and ‘infertility’ instantly flashed through my mind (they weren’t related at all), and I immediately became anxious.
The moment I deactivated Thought Acceleration, my legs moved. I instantly accelerated from zero to maximum speed. I couldn’t imagine myself running that fast. Perhaps because I had become a zombie, my physical functions had surpassed those of a human! I aimed for the gap under the desk and slid in. At the same time, Teacher Lily could no longer hold on and fell from the chair.
However, I had already slid under Lily’s body. It was a “woman on top, man below” position (don’t get the wrong idea)! Grabbing her horns with one hand, I stopped sliding. In that critical moment, I successfully became the teacher’s cushion. Phew, this way her horns would be safe, and there would be no ‘horn miscarriage’ problem.
*Plop.*
Huh? What was that “plop” sound? I raised my head in confusion, only to see Teacher Lily’s underwear covering her buttocks. She was wearing plain white underwear today, but under the semi-transparent black pantyhose, it exuded a mysterious allure. It was probably because Lily’s butt shape was so perfect that any underwear would look seductive. Such a large peach was a sign of a good delivery, making me want to take a bite, or maybe blush if I slapped it red. Cough, what am I thinking?
“Jun Cheng?! Are you okay!”
“Ah, I’m alright. Uh, could you get up quickly?” I suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable around my stomach.
“Ah! I’ll get up right away!” However, it was difficult for Teacher Lily to get up in this position. Since she had fallen from the chair with her upper body swinging like a pendulum, her legs were still dangling from under the desk. So, Teacher Lily retracted both her legs and then let them down from the gap under the desk.
Oh, I saw the front part of her underwear. It even had a bow. It’s quite cute.
*Hiss.*

Huh? What the heck was that “hiss” sound again? Huh? Huh? Oh no, I suddenly had a very bad premonition. Could it be…? Teacher Lily quickly climbed off me and pulled me out from under the desk. At this time, other students in the library also called out.
“Teacher, are you okay?”
“Ah! I’m fine! Thanks to you, I’m not hurt!”
“Really? Do you need any help cleaning up?”
“No, no need! You all continue reading! I’ll clean it up myself!”
“Okay, got it.” The student said no more and agreed. How unfeeling. It was mainly because they didn’t want to interact with Lily. Of course, people would be willing to help a beautiful woman who fell, but few would be willing to help an ugly woman.
Lily whispered close to my ear, “Are you okay, Jun Cheng!”
“Mm, I’m fine.” As I replied and straightened my upper body, Lily and I both saw bloodstains starting to seep through my school uniform shirt.
Lily and I were silent for a moment, then each took action. I lifted my shirt to check the wound, while Lily reached up to her head. I saw two vertical tears on my abdomen, as if I had been caught by someone selling kidneys, who had mercilessly cut out both my kidneys. Lily, on the other hand, got blood on her hands. Speaking of which, she had gotten blood from her horns.
Recalling those two sounds earlier, “plop” was probably the sound of her horns penetrating my stomach, and “hiss” was the sound of Lily’s horns cutting through my stomach as she got up. Lily’s horns were indeed very sharp. They cut through my stomach so easily. I didn’t feel any particular pain or fear of death. For a human, it would be a fatal wound, but for me, a zombie, it was at most an external injury. Moreover, because I drank that potion, I had acquired self-healing abilities, so it would heal on its own if left alone.
However, it was only now that I had the feeling of “Ah, I really have become a zombie.”
But for Lily, it was different.
“Waaah!!!” Seeing her horns pierce and tear through my stomach, she instantly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes quickly welled up, no, tears were already streaming down. “Hey, hey, don’t cry,” I quickly patted her head and comforted her in a low voice. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Look, I’ve become a zombie, so this injury is fine.”
Saying that, I stood up to prove I was alright.
As a result, my intestines fell out.
“Aaaahhhhhh!!!” “Waaahhhhhh!!!” It wasn’t an exaggeration. No matter how calm I was, I never expected my intestines to fall out. I was so scared that my eyeballs almost popped out. This scream attracted everyone’s attention again.
I remained in a semi-squatting position, blocking the intestines that had fallen to the ground. For a moment, I was flustered. What should I do? Should I pick them up and stuff them back in? But if I stuffed them in haphazardly, would it be bad? Also, it seemed my intestines were pierced and some parts were broken, with contents spilling out. It felt so disgusting. Even though they were my intestines, disgusting things were still disgusting!
On the other hand, Teacher Lily had fainted.
In the end, with no other choice, I took off my school uniform jacket and used it to wrap the intestines that had fallen on the ground, gathered them inside, and tied them around my waist. “Uh, the teacher seems to have fainted. I’ll take her to the infirmary/nurse’s office.” I at least left a message for the other students in the library, then picked up the unconscious Teacher Lily and walked out of the library.
After leaving the library, I quickly took out my phone and called Yu Hui, asking her to help me clean up the “traces” in the library! This is too much. What is all this? What should I do about my intestines?!
