Chapter 12 A Model Citizen
Sunlight shattered the dust, embedding itself into Su Jiu’s still drowsy eyes. At this moment, she was like some invertebrate, limbs splayed backward, her torso held tightly by Bai Qianyu.
She opened her mouth, and Su Jiu’s dead fish eyes instantly sharpened. Her body slipped away like a catfish. She felt that ever since Bai Qianyu discovered her true identity, she had become even more reckless.
To think that while she was asleep, she was being treated like a giant doll again. Although Su Jiu could reluctantly accept it, after all, it was so big, so white… No, it was about cultivating friendship with Bai Qianyu! When she was in danger, wouldn’t Bai Ming have to help her fiercely?
Su Jiu nodded to herself, secretly giving herself a thumbs-up for her cleverness…
“Sister Jiu, are you awake?”
Bai Qianyu rubbed her eyes and got up. The thin blanket slipped from her shoulders. The clothes, even thinner than the blanket, made Su Jiu’s mind wander.
“Little White, the attribute test is about to start. Stop sleeping.”
Mentally reciting the Three Character Classic, Su Jiu adjusted her facial expression slightly to appear more serious.
“Huh? Sister Jiu, I didn’t mean to sleep holding you last night…”
Bai Qianyu’s face flushed as she recalled being attracted by the strange aura on Su Jiu last night. Su Jiu must have thought she was a lesbian, right?
“Mhmm, I understand…”
Su Jiu waved her hand. As she spoke, she had already changed into a JK school uniform with a short skirt, like a Japanese street girl.
“…”
Bai Qianyu wanted to say something but couldn’t. Seeing Su Jiu’s accustomed expression, she really wanted to dig a hole in the floor.
Su Jiu must have mistaken her for a girl who likes to cuddle… It wasn’t that she wanted to, but that cold yet slightly warm, bizarre aura was truly irresistible.
She once suspected it was the effect of her bloodline awakening, but hadn’t Su Jiu awakened the Ice Cicada? Logically, a lower-tier bloodline shouldn’t affect a higher-tier bloodline.
Bai Qianyu knew that her bloodline was not the Black Dragon bloodline the school spoke of, but the Ancient Black Dragon. The difference of two words was like heaven and earth. The Ancient Black Dragon was equivalent to the royal bloodline of the Black Dragon race.
If it wasn’t her bloodline, what was affecting her… Bai Qianyu’s gaze fell slightly on Su Jiu’s doll-like face, and her heart trembled inexplicably. Then, she quickly shook her head wildly, casting away that terrifying thought.
Absolutely not!
…
The two quickly arrived at the strength testing room at Mr. Lu Nan’s requested time. Unlike Bai Qianyu, who was accustomed to testing there, Su Jiu was visiting the place for the first time. She looked around at the surrounding metallic instruments like a curious baby.
At the front of the crowd,
“Su Jiu? How come I run into you everywhere?”
Lu Ke’s slightly displeased voice came from not far away. She crossed her arms, her eyes filled with bad luck, and continued sarcastically, “Do you think you can succeed in the power test just because your bloodline awakened? Without martial skills, without techniques for charging, with only brute strength, I’m afraid you won’t even reach the basic 1200 jin for a low-rank warrior class, right?”
Su Jiu expressionlessly slowly extended a middle finger at her. Her small mouth opened and closed, forming the shape of “idiot.”
Seeing this, Lu Ke “humphed” and turned to look at the testing platform. Among the students helping with the tests and scoring were some students arranged by the school, including a figure she had to pay attention to.
A few minutes later.
“Lin Lie, why are you helping with the tests here?” Lu Ke stepped forward, equipped some protective gear, then looked up at the short-haired young man not far away and said.
Their fathers had some dealings, and they were quite familiar with each other.
“Arrested by Old Huang for breaking the rules and sent for labor reform.” Lin Lie originally thought it was some pretty girl. Upon closer inspection, it was his childhood friend, so he rolled his eyes.
“Then you’ll have to give me some preferential treatment later.” Lu Ke said with a playful smile, but she disdained preferential treatment. The passing line was 1000 jin, and 2000 jin was full marks. It was not impossible for her to achieve full marks.
“I don’t want to be scolded to death by Old Huang.” Hearing this, Lin Lie gave Lu Ke a look of disgust, shrugging his shoulders to show that he was a just and good person.
“Tch!”
Rolling her eyes, Lu Ke’s eyes instantly sharpened. A burst of fire erupted from her body. Her tall figure instantly became like a female superhero. If her clothes weren’t custom-made by the Lu family, then the male classmates would have a feast for their eyes.
With a light stomp of her foot, a wave-like vibration seemed to emanate from her surroundings. Her fist struck the weighing plate like a roaring dragon.
The numbers above fluctuated rapidly.
1000!
1600!
1900!
Finally, it began to jump slowly, stabilizing above 1963. Lu Ke’s aura began to recede slowly. She frowned slightly, seemingly not very satisfied with her result.
But Lin Lie shouted like a ghost, “Lu Ke, 1963 jin, 98 points.”
“1963 jin?! I saw the Chongming Bird before and it was only just over 1300 jin. How can the gap be so large!” Someone was stunned. How could they live if they had just scored 1000 jin?
“Pfft, Lu Ke used a martial skill. It’s normal for you to compare. You know she’s been learning family martial skills since she was a child, and her Great Strength Fist is probably at the Minor Accomplishment stage now.”
Lin Lie suddenly laughed, feeling that he could also boast a bit with his best friend’s prowess.
“Minor Accomplishment?? How is that possible! We haven’t even touched martial skills, and she’s already at Minor Accomplishment? How can the gap be so big?” Someone’s face became dejected.
“People’s physiques are different. Martial skills require physical fitness to reach a certain standard before learning. It’s normal that we can’t learn them.” Someone behind him patted his shoulder and continued, “Tomorrow we’ll officially start the Warrior Class courses, and the teacher will explain the relevant content.”
Scanning the crowd, Lu Ke savored the gasps and cheers from those around her. When she turned her gaze to Su Jiu, she found herself still facing that annoying middle finger, which made her a little crazy.
What the hell, you who have never even touched martial skills, why are you still so defiant.
Lu Ke felt that the other party wasn’t working hard at midnight at all. Perhaps her successful awakening had a lot to do with the items prepared by her father.
She didn’t leave, just stood beside Su Jiu, staring at her like a wooden person. Her persistence paid off. After more than ten minutes, it was quickly Su Jiu’s turn.
“Name…”
Lin Lie had just handed over the protective gear when he looked up and saw the face that had been haunting his nightmares for days. He even stammered when he spoke.
“Sis… Sister, why are you here? I’m a law-abiding citizen now.” As if worried that the violent Su Jiu would go crazy again, he quickly raised his hands and repeated in a low voice.
“The exceedingly so law-abiding kind.”
This scene stunned everyone present. Lin Lie used to tease any remotely pretty girl he met, but why was he acting like this towards this delinquent?
