Chapter 139: Boring Daily Life
The next day, Su Family Residence.
Dawn was breaking, and sunlight, piercing the thin mist, shone in, rudely pressing and patting Su Jiu’s face, making her already flushed cheeks even redder.
“No… don’t touch there.”
She mumbled softly, clamping her legs together, rolling herself up in the thin blanket. Her posture changed from “Chang’e flying to the moon” to a “caterpillar.”
“Mama!” E Huo had long since finished its upgrade. Its body was as big as a motorcycle, and the two fleshy lumps on its head were growing larger. It lay beside Su Jiu, constantly fiddling with her phone.
“˃ ⌑ ˂!!”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, E Huo habitually sprang onto Su Jiu, bounced, and then fell, smashing Su Jiu into an arc.
“Pfft! Ah, the silly one has turned into a tank!!”
Su Jiu’s face was already flushed, probably thinking of something unspeakable. Suddenly, her body was violently smashed by E Huo’s unknown weight.
At this moment, her eyeballs almost popped out, and her shrimp line was almost pulled out.
“I remember yesterday, Old Man sent me home, and I took a shower and went to sleep.”
Pushing E Huo away and getting up, she went to the bathroom to wash up. Su Jiu looked at E Huo, which was like a small car, feeling both fortunate and annoyed that her good deed was interrupted.
She had wanted a traceless spring dream, but unexpectedly, E Huo dropped from the sky.
“In a couple of days, I need to investigate that Sir Si Chen. I remember the Chief Judge mentioned him.”
She put on the Hanfu that she hadn’t worn in a long time, then grabbed E Huo’s small bag with its tail, and asked with dead fish eyes, “What level are you at now? How did you get so big?”
“I don’t know~~ But Mama, I can change to big or small, and I can fly high!” E Huo lay on the bed, still fiddling with Su Jiu’s phone, its tail wagging high.
Upon closer inspection, sparse white mane had appeared on its tail, making it look more and more like a dragon.
“Then, change to small and let me see.” Su Jiu raised her eyebrows. She felt that the big E Huo had to be stored in the Spiritual Space normally so as not to scare people.
“Oh~”
Hearing this, E Huo put down the phone in its mouth, its body puffed with a bang, and it returned to its original size. Then it jumped onto Su Jiu’s shoulder.
“What does it look like when you’re big?”
After casually tidying herself up again, Su Jiu asked while tidying her hair. If E Huo could become very big, it would be quite useful.
“When I’m big, I can watch anime!”
E Huo’s gaze fell on the phone, and it wanted to spring out, but Su Jiu grabbed its tail.
Su Jiu, with a blank expression, opened her sleeve and stuffed it inside.
After everything was arranged, Su Jiu picked up the phone covered in E Huo’s saliva. She twitched her lips and said, “So, that was you growing big just now? You used up energy to grow big just to play with your phone?”
Su Jiu gently wiped the phone, slid the screen open, and swiped through all the red notification dots. She glanced at the little bat avatar and couldn’t help but click on it.
She wanted to act crazy like before but didn’t know how to start. After thinking for a long time, she finally typed – “Are you there?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
She looked at the message she had sent, feeling a bit like a clown. So, she quickly retracted it, but the other party’s message came back very quickly.
It was a hand holding instant noodles, but the background seemed to be a campus with many Western-faced students passing by.
“Eating noodles, getting ready for work.”
Su Jiu was stunned for a moment and couldn’t quite understand. Do Blood Clan Dukes also have to work? Isn’t the worst they can do is live off the fat of the land? And isn’t she a monster…
So, she subconsciously asked, “You have to work too?”
Soon, the other party’s message came back, very long, somewhat like voice-to-text:
“What’s strange about that? I’m an honorary professor at Harva University. I have to work for more than ten days a month to earn money, otherwise, if I play games every day, relying on those idle stewards and maids under me, I wouldn’t even be able to afford hot wind to drink.”
“Harva University… Are you in Eagle Country?”
Su Jiu was alarmed. She was also going to Eagle Country in a few days to fulfill the so-called Sword God’s vow. Although it was far from Harva, it would be terrible if the two of them had some cliché encounter.
If it were a light novel plot, it would be too damn annoying.
“More or less? Why, are you coming? My servant, aren’t you afraid of being kept as a canary? Blood Princess (sinister)” The other party replied quickly, with an emoji, which Su Jiu found a bit cute.
Rolling her eyes, Su Jiu could already imagine the other party’s teasing look. She then sent:
“Just going on business, but it’s very far from you.”
Before she had the strength, she decided not to have direct contact with the other party. Who knew if the Silly Duke would keep her as a canary as he said.
“Oh? Alright then~ I’ll play games when I have time off in a couple of days. Blood Princess (See you later)”
On the other side, Vivian had her hair tied in a ponytail, a faint smile on her exquisite face.
The Harva students around were quite curious why this foreign professor had suddenly become less cold and aloof, showing an expression like a high school girl.
But they dared not go forward to ask more.
Ask? Are the classmates afraid of failing?
“My servant is coming to Eagle Country? I’ll make a clone to tease her. She’s always so serious… I wonder what she’ll be like when she’s successfully courted.”
With a faint smile, she continued to slurp her instant noodles, closed the QQ interface, and saw a Baidu interface displayed –
“Search: What does it mean if someone sends ‘Are you typing?'”
…
Pouting, Su Jiu didn’t think the Silly Duke would be so idle as to look for her. She found Youyou’s QQ account and explained her doubts from yesterday:
“Sister Youyou, please check ‘Si Chen.’ I suspect this person is closely related to this planned divine descent.”
Then she put away her phone and went downstairs. She found Old Man sitting in the living room, and her father was also talking to him. Su Xiao Yu occasionally chimed in with a few words.
“Xiao Jiu, you’re here… This elderly gentleman, he says he’s your old leader and asked if Xiao Yu wants to follow him and start from the grassroots.” Su Xingguo suddenly beckoned to Su Jiu. He actually wanted Su Xiao Yu to follow, but Old Man didn’t mention any work, which made him confused about his identity.
In his opinion, Su Jiu should be working within a certain system, but this Old Man had a casual and roguish demeanor, and most importantly, he had shot through the divine descent scene with one arrow yesterday, which truly shocked him.
This was a War God! His daughter’s superior was War God Level!
“Su Xiao Yu? Old Man, are you going to take him in? With that bear-like appearance.” Su Jiu looked at Old Man, who was gulping down wine, with some surprise. It wasn’t that she looked down on Su Xiao Yu, but mainly because her impression of him was that he was an idiot who revolved around women.
“Take him in… He has a restraint similar to yours, and he also meets one of the requirements. I want to start your brother off as a Bronze Exorcist.” Old Man put down the wine bottle and his gaze fell on Su Xiao Yu, as if looking at some rare treasure.
An absolutely powerful hidden bloodline, and he could save people like Su Jiu… However, for now, he was just an uncarved jade.
Then they chatted for a while, and Old Man promised a degree certificate from a Dragon Hunter high school, requiring Su Xiao Yu to follow him loyally.
Hearing that he could become a civil servant – an Exorcist – in his third year of high school, Su Xiao Yu was very excited. He didn’t know yet that he would be facing all sorts of tedious work and skill practice.
“Su Jiu, old man, I have to go back to Fuzhou. As a guarding walker, I can’t leave there for too long.”
After chatting for a while longer, Su Jiu watched Old Man take Su Xiao Yu away. Su Xingguo had a relieved expression on his face. With both his children achieving success, this was the best news for him.
“Beep beep!”
After sending them off, Su Jiu found the phone in her pocket vibrating. It wasn’t a message, but a call from Youyou.
“Su Jiu, do you know anything about this person?! He’s one of the most fanatical Priests of the [Singer]. It is said that there are indeed traces of him entering and exiting southern China.”
“If this plan is related to him, then it’s probably not that simple.”
