Chapter 138: The Occasionally Serious Silly Duke
Outside, the crowd watched the black screen, their hearts clenching.
Especially the Principal of Magic City. Her face was grim as she looked at Yan Fang opposite her. Su Jiu must have had an accident, her last move was being taken down by a gray statue monster.
Unexpectedly, Yan Fang also looked displeased.
The golden pen-like projector in her hand had broken; it had sensed something!
Something had trespassed into the divine descent, and shattered the alchemical artifact that served as a sub-camera within!
…
After an unknown amount of time, Su Jiu felt her mouth being released. Her face was wet, and she slowly opened her eyes. She found a young girl in a white cotton pajamas in front of her.
The girl was like an elf princess from a European fairytale, with a delicate face, pointed ears, a teardrop mole adorning the corner of her eye, and silver hair like a waterfall flowing in the wind.
Despite being a foreign monster, she had an appearance primarily Eastern in style, making her incredibly mysterious.
Seeing this scene, Su Jiu’s heart trembled slightly. She had to admit, she was shallow – she had a fleeting illusion of love at first sight.
She felt her heart begin to beat again, and her face inexplicably started to flush.
“Am I pretty? Servant.”
Vivian’s hair brushed against Su Jiu’s face. Her eyes, languid with a hint of a smile, looked at her, with a trace of alluring moisture at the corner of her lips.
Seeing the teasing glint in the other’s eyes, Su Jiu really wanted to say it was just alright, but the words that came out were like a changed soda – “Mm.”
Vivian tilted her head, lightly flicked Su Jiu’s forehead, and chuckled softly, “Hmph, you have good taste!”
“There’s still an enemy… at the High-Rank Battle General level.”
Looking at the teardrop mole by the other’s eye, Su Jiu pursed her still-moist lips and said softly.
Even though she said that, her mouth felt incredibly dry. She really wanted to… Su Jiu’s gaze fell on the other’s slightly upturned lips again, her throat making a faint gurgling sound.
Such a perfectly proportioned Eastern beauty.
No… no, what am I thinking… this person is just a silly duke.
Using her hands to support herself, she didn’t feel as exhausted as she had before. She glanced at the gray stone statues outside. They had been cut into pieces by something unknown, broken into dust.
And those students were all looking down, afraid to look this way, their faces showing immense terror.
Just now, a girl with huge bat wings suddenly appeared from this Lady Su. With a snap of her fingers, the surrounding monsters exploded into pieces. Then she coldly sneered at them – “Dare to look, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
A Battle General with this kind of strength?
No! It might be Battle King Level!
Not a single one dared to disobey. In their eyes, the Silly Duke was not much different from the “Master” in the sky. The only difference was that she was prettier.
“Play two days of games with this Duke, and this is the reward – High-Rank Battle General, what’s that? This Duke is the real Shadow, with Initial Stage Battle King strength.”
With a casual smile, Vivian took out a pack of tissues from her pajama pocket, pulled out two pieces, and gently dabbed Su Jiu’s mouth, “Wipe it. You can go home and sleep later. Accompany this Duke to play games tomorrow.”
“But…”
Su Jiu looked up at the sky, only to find that the “Master’s” face had turned the color of liver. The other party looked like they wanted to take action but were hesitant.
“Just watch.”
Handing the tissues to Su Jiu, Vivian smiled and extended her hand flat. A little bat flew out from her hood and landed on her palm. Then, with a flash of white light, a long sword inlaid with a blood-red magic crystal appeared in her hand.
Su Jiu watched the flash of white light, her pupils dilating slightly. Signing a contract with a monster, wasn’t this something created by human ancestors? It was only usable by those with human bloodlines.
Why could this Silly Duke use it?
In the next moment, Vivian held the sword sheath, drew the sword, and swung it a few times. Blood-red sword flowers subtly arose. She looked at the “Master” above and said with a faint smile, “Self-destruct, or shall this Duke send you back?”
Hearing Vivian’s tone, the “Master’s” face immediately darkened. She looked at Vivian and was about to say something, but upon noticing the complex inscriptions on the weapon in her hand, she hesitated again.
She was only one of the “Masters,” and a weaker one at that. Her true form was merely a regular War God Level.
She came purely to capitalize on a loophole in the clan’s contract. The so-called cross-generational formation was just an advanced formation she used through the contract.
She had wanted to break through recently and was looking for some high-grade blood food. If Si Chen hadn’t repeatedly guaranteed her that she could use that flesh and blood casually, she wouldn’t have risked angering Dragon Country.
Now, it turned out she had run into a tough opponent.
She then tentatively asked, “May I ask, who are you?”
Gently rubbing the sword sheath against the sword, Vivian said faintly, “The master of the Rose Castle.”
Upon hearing this, the “Master’s” mind frantically searched for this information, but there was no indication that matched this identity. She opened her mouth and couldn’t help but ask again, “Your Excellency, may I ask where the Rose Castle is?”
“Forget it, I shouldn’t have given you so much time.”
She glanced at her, Vivian chuckled softly, and her body transformed into a white phantom. The long sword in her hand traced a long red line, directly flashing behind the “Master,” and then “chih” – she sheathed her sword.
In the next moment, a blood-red crescent-shaped slash appeared. The “Master’s” body was instantly shattered into dozens of pieces, then dispersed into mist, without even a chance to speak.
Looking at Vivian’s swordsmanship, Su Jiu felt a sense of familiarity yet strangeness. She felt that she must have mistaken any crescent-shaped slash for String Moon Swordsmanship.
Regardless, the crisis was at least resolved.
In the sky,
Taking a deep breath, Vivian’s body also began to slowly dissipate. She landed on the ground and looked at the dim rose on Su Jiu’s uniform, saying with a hint of helplessness, “I have to go. Time… it’s up…”
As soon as she finished speaking, her body began to dissipate from her feet into specks of red starlight, after which she extended her finger and pinched Su Jiu’s face, saying seriously, “Feels good.”
Then she looked at the bloodstains on Su Jiu’s body, pouted, and said, “Hmm… but you’re all dirty. Remember to take a hot bath when you get back—”
Feeling the cold on her face, Su Jiu looked at the girl who was not much taller than her. At this time, red light had already covered her forehead.
Subconsciously reaching out, Su Jiu felt a faint sense of loss in her heart. It was strange, she thought she had passed the age where she could fall in love so easily…
But, the way she was just now… Su Jiu bit her lip lightly, her gaze slightly evasive.
“Remember to log in, or I won’t save you next time.” A ethereal voice sounded in Su Jiu’s ear, like divine guidance.
Su Jiu’s eyes no longer dodged, but became dead fish eyes. As expected, a silly duke is just a silly duke – the cool, celestial fairy is just an illusion!
At this moment, a student timidly glanced at Su Jiu and slowly walked over, saying softly, “Lady Su, how should we get out of here now…”
“Boom!”
Before she could finish speaking, a green light arrow shot in from outside. Along with the light sword, came the red twilight.
