Chapter 203 Wolf Tooth Gang (3k)
Su Jiu pulled Bairnis’s hand, and the two got off the plane. She held the suitcase and looked around. The huge and various alchemical artifacts even showed faint traces of formations on the security inspection machines, undoubtedly demonstrating the power of Magic City.
After Su Jiu and Bairnis got through the security belt, a phone call came. It was from the people picking them up. She confirmed the location with the other party and waited in place for a few minutes.
A young man with a brown pompadour hairstyle appeared not far in front of them. He was wearing a blue and white battle uniform, with a silver medal of the Oriental Pearl on his chest. He looked a bit older than Su Jiu, in his early twenties, and had a rather cold demeanor.
He was followed by four Magic University students with similar attire. However, unlike the young man, they seemed a bit nervous, looking at Su Jiu cautiously.
“You are the classmates picking us up, right? Thank you.”
Seeing their appearance, Su Jiu found it amusing. Are university students so cautious and polite now? If one didn’t know better, they’d think they were meeting a big shot!
A university as awesome as this is indeed different; even the enrollment for new students is this formal.
Before Su Jiu could speak, Huang Feng, with a glance at Su Jiu and Bairnis, asked uncertainly, “Are you the Grand Priest that Senior Brother Lu Yu mentioned? My name is Huang Feng, and I’m the person in charge of picking you up for enrollment.”
Seeing the aura of Su Jiu and Bairnis, they indeed had some of the demeanor of Western professors. Su Jiu held the suitcase, while Bairnis, like an assistant, carried the bags and packages.
They exuded a subtle noble aura, which fit the stereotype of foreign professors in his mind – elegant and noble. Perhaps their youth was just due to rapid cultivation?
“Grand Priest? I don’t think so. I’m just an ordinary Battle General level Priest. You don’t need to be so formal; we are all classmates of about the same age… Just call me Su Jiu.”
Hearing this peculiar title, Su Jiu was slightly stunned and said quite humbly. From novels, she knew that the title “Grand Priest” was generally used for Battle King level or extremely experienced Battle General level Priest-doctors.
Could Bairnis, this little rascal, have been secretly bragging about her on the phone?
“Miss, what’s wrong?”
After speaking, she turned and secretly glanced at Bairnis, who was eating a Red Fruit. The latter took a small bite and looked back at her with some confusion, looking adorably clueless.
“It’s nothing…” Su Jiu patted her head dotingly. It’s fine if she bragged; this girl doesn’t have any bad intentions.
“Hmm?”
Bairnis blinked, then lowered her head and continued to eat. Her sapphire blue eyes shimmered with a crystalline moisture. This small fruit was not simple; it had the effect of improving talent and bloodline, which was very helpful for her current state.
Seeing that Su Jiu could produce such a rare fruit, she was curious about the identity of her master, who could achieve such a level. After all, Bairnis had conducted a deep probe to confirm Su Jiu’s physical condition during the month Su Jiu was asleep.
The result was that not only did she discover Su Jiu was undergoing some kind of reinforcement, but she also found that Su Jiu’s bone age did not exceed twenty years old! In humans, this should just be newly adult age?
“You are too humble. Forget about being classmates; we are here to take you to Magic Capital University.”
Hearing Su Jiu’s humility, Huang Feng became even more certain that this young professor was the person he was looking for. His expression became even more respectful. After looking around, he led the way for them.
“Priest Su Jiu, we’ll take your luggage.”
Several second-year students, relieved, came up with smiles and unloaded the luggage from Su Jiu and Bairnis. They were all immensely enthusiastic.
Seeing their behavior, Su Jiu felt a little uncomfortable. After all, these people were older than her, and their performance… Are the people at Magic Capital University all this subservient?
“Aren’t we taking a car? Isn’t it far to walk?”
After walking for about a few hundred meters, Huang Feng heard Su Jiu’s puzzled question. He immediately showed an apologetic expression and said somewhat sheepishly, “The car is parked in the parking lot a kilometer away. There’s been severe traffic congestion recently, so we walked over.”
“Moreover, it’s not very safe around here. There’s an underground force called the Wolf Tooth Gang that has been very active recently. They often abduct priests, and their leader is said to be close to High-Rank Battle General level. Many people are unwilling to offend them.”
Su Jiu put her hands in her pockets and looked around. She did notice quite a few unwelcome glances, but they seemed to be wary of the Magic Capital University uniform Huang Feng was wearing.
“These student girls are really something. It’s the first time I’ve seen such beautiful girls on the street for so long, especially the female with the black long dress.”
“I like the short one wearing the Hanfu, tsk, her little face makes my heart itch. It’s a shame they even have senior year students accompanying them.”
“Damn it, it should be that we got two freshmen last time…”
“Shh, don’t talk, it’s bad if they hear us.”
Although they dared not step forward, they still had the courage to look at Su Jiu and the other girls, their gazes sweeping across them, laughing heartily.
“Then why doesn’t the government send Dragon Hunters to exterminate them? With the strength of Dragon Hunters, it should be quite easy to deal with these street punks, right?”
These people’s behavior made Su Jiu’s eyebrows twitch. As she passed by them, her eyes narrowed, and the nails on the back of her hand emitted a blue-pink light, which dimmed after a few breaths.
Clearly, these people made her uncomfortable, but this was a city, and she couldn’t act rashly. She had just enrolled and needed to act like a good girl, lest she be expelled upon admission.
If it were in a place like the black market… Hmph.
“Because recently the government agencies have been busy with the incident of skin rot, and these Wolf Tooth Gang thugs haven’t committed any major crimes, and not many people are willing to deal with them.”
Huang Feng also found the street thugs troublesome. The freshmen who had just reported to the school had been harassed by them quite a bit, but killing them would only attract retaliation from those underground forces.
Hearing Huang Feng’s words, Su Jiu curled her lips dismissively. Suddenly, she inadvertently glanced at Bairnis, who had her hands behind her back. Butterflies were fluttering on her hands, and the butterflies were targeting those thugs.
This girl…
Seemingly noticing Su Jiu’s gaze, Bairnis looked at her quite innocently and said unhurriedly, “It’s just a small punishment. With their strength, there won’t be any major issues. At most, their skin will ooze blood.”
“It won’t matter if something happens… Let’s go, let’s ignore these people.”
Stunned for a moment, Su Jiu’s lips revealed a strange smile. She then linked her arm with Bairnis and continued forward, looking just like innocent and romantic sisters.
She suddenly found Bairnis exceptionally cute…
Huang Feng had initially worried that this big shot might suddenly decide to act. He was a bit concerned because the leader of this underground force was much stronger than him. If they really attracted his attention, it would be troublesome.
“What the hell is this?” A thug curiously reached out to touch a phantom butterfly. Suddenly, the next moment, he let out a pig-like scream.
Looking at the backs of Su Jiu and the others, these thugs kept swatting away the phantom butterflies. They discovered that the butterflies caused intense pain and even bleeding when they touched their skin.
“Damn it, it’s that stinky woman in black from earlier. Let’s go up and demand an explanation!”
“Let’s go! Our boss is here today too! Damn it, a few stinky students dare to fight back so aggressively.”
Just as a few of them were about to step forward to demand an explanation, the first person’s wound began to bleed profusely, followed by another person behind him starting to bleed. In a short while, they could barely hold on and fainted –
The fifteen meters behind Su Jiu was like some kind of urban legend. If these injured thugs got close, they would inevitably explode. With their strength, which didn’t even have an Advanced Stage Warrior, such an explosion would be more than just sleeping…
“They are going to the parking lot. Our boss is also there capturing an intern doctor. These people only use some strange skills. Our boss is a strong individual close to High-Rank Battle General!”
One of the thugs, who was also injured, looked ahead at the incoming “weak” targets with great terror. But the next moment, he felt extremely fortunate that he had restrained himself and not acted rashly.
Immediately after, another thug next to him quickly reacted and began making a phone call.
…
“The traffic congestion nearby should be some kind of problem, right? Their targets seem to be hospitals…”
Within a few minutes, Su Jiu and the others quickly arrived at the underground parking lot. Huang Feng looked at Su Jiu strangely, his gaze somewhat puzzled. Aren’t you here to deal with this problem?
Just as he was about to say something, Su Jiu waved her hand.
Her steps paused slightly, and Su Jiu gazed into the distance with a thoughtful look. She could smell blood from somewhere. Magic City was not as peaceful as she had imagined.
Seeing Su Jiu suddenly stop and remain silent, Huang Feng and the others asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Some people are being chased and are running towards us. The people chasing them seem to be Battle Generals,” Bairnis said softly. Her eyes were fixed on Su Jiu, as if asking if she wanted to save them.
“Let’s see first.”
Su Jiu smiled faintly. What if it was some kind of revenge killing or family dispute? She wouldn’t play the role of a guardian. After all, such things were not uncommon in Huayang. As long as it wasn’t too big of a commotion, the authorities would generally turn a blind eye.
“Can anyone save us? There’s a madman here!”
While they were talking, a couple of shouts surprisingly came from the empty space. Near the pillars in the distance, three figures stumbled forward, with several shadowy figures emitting strong malice behind them.
As they continued to run, Su Jiu got a clearer look at them: one male and two females. Among them was the blonde twin-tail girl she had met before. As for the other male and female…
They were also wearing Magic Capital University uniforms!
The two Magic University students had some wounds. The male student was the most seriously injured, with many bleeding gashes on his body. The female student had some minor scratches on her face, while the blonde twin-tail girl had no visible injuries, only a face full of terror.
Su Jiu turned to look at Huang Feng next to her and saw that his expression was exceptionally grim. He seemed to recognize these people. He quickly unleashed his external qi, his face looking somber.
Magic Capital University students were being chased and attacked in Magic City?!
