Chapter 247 Great Cuttlefish Sea Area (3.5k)
Su Jiu gently washed her ankle with water, looking at the bleeding teeth marks on it. Su Jiu’s mouth twitched slightly, and she tugged at the other person’s fair little face. “Clatter!” She glanced at the figure on the glass door outside and then whispered fiercely, “If you bite my hand again, you’ll starve!”
“Clatter…”
As if understanding Su Jiu’s meaning, Su Jiu’s hand was suddenly let go. She raised her fist, covered in saliva, and then looked at Bai Zhi, who was eating magic crystals like a squirrel, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
If possible, she really wanted to write a book called—”On How a Generation of Demon Lords Descended into Uselessness.”
Perhaps it was because Bai Zhi had just been resurrected and lacked energy, the magic crystal in her mouth was quickly cleaned out. Her eyes, like little flowers, looked at Su Jiu again, blinking.
“It’s all gone…”
Su Jiu’s eyes twitched, as if she understood her meaning tacitly. She turned to deal with her clothes, deliberately not looking at the other person’s face.
The atmosphere became quiet again, only the sound of hands sliding through water could be heard.
Seeing that Su Jiu was ignoring her, Bai Zhi lowered her head slightly and kept stirring the water in the bathtub. After stirring for a while, she looked at Su Jiu again. The sound of “gurgle…” rang out again, but it was quieter this time than before.
“You bit me and won’t even let me eat… you’re a rotten bastard! In my time, you’d be considered a Chen Shimei!”
Bai Zhi’s little face blushed unconsciously again. She gently covered her lower abdomen, her gaze falling back to Su Jiu’s small feet. Her beautiful brows furrowed, as if she was hesitating about something. Suddenly, her stomach rumbled again. Gritting her teeth, she finally made up her mind and slightly lifted her heel…
“Aren’t you done yet, classmate Su Jiu? I think I heard other people’s voices. Are you okay?”
A voice sounded from outside the door again, with a hint of worry. In such a sea, there were demons that could cause hypnosis or possession. She was afraid that Su Jiu had been affected—
However, she was indeed affected.
Hearing Huang Wen’s voice, Su Jiu raised her voice slightly and shouted to the door, “I’m fine, it’s just my beast pet being disobedient and making a fuss.”
“You bastard, I’ll fight you…”
A threatening voice suddenly sounded in the bathroom. Su Jiu looked helplessly and grabbed the white shadow that rushed towards her by the back of her collar, lifting her up like a kitten. Their eyes met, big eyes staring at small eyes, and there they stayed for a minute…
Bai Zhi fell silent for a moment, looked at Su Jiu very seriously, and said in a low voice, “Can you put me down?”
“…”
Without speaking, Su Jiu gently shook her head. She couldn’t let this creature go wild again. She had to put it into her hairpin. The principle should be similar to the spiritual space. She should be able to do it after a few tries.
Seeing that Su Jiu ignored her, Bai Zhi lowered her head and remained quiet for a moment, then suddenly went crazy. She raised her hands like a hooligan, hitting the wind and fire wheels with both hands, shaking her head and shouting:
“Ahhh! I’m being humiliated like this! I don’t want to live anymore! My Xuanpu is still bleeding, you damn vampire bit so deep, hurry up and be responsible for me… sob sob”
Seeing Bai Zhi about to act shamelessly, Su Jiu originally didn’t pay much attention. Hearing the other party about to spill the beans about what she had just done, she didn’t understand what Bai Zhi was saying at first. But when she heard that she had to be responsible, she immediately understood…
“Don’t say anything more, don’t say anything more… If you behave well later, I’ll give you magic crystals to eat.”
Quickly reaching out to cover the other person’s mouth, Su Jiu’s face was a bit sweaty, and she looked guiltily towards the door, hoping that Huang Wen outside hadn’t heard this damn girl throwing a tantrum.
Uh, I think I did bite there.
Hearing that there was something to eat, Bai Zhi stopped making noise. She just looked at Su Jiu’s face with her clear eyes, gently pointed to Su Jiu’s hand covering her mouth, signaling her to let go, and thought to herself:
A good woman does not fight with a hooligan. When the opportunity arises, she will definitely turn this damn hooligan vampire into a human monument and plant her in a vase!
Seeing that Bai Zhi had quieted down, Su Jiu slowly let go of her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief. With a “whoosh,” Bai Zhi made a sword shape with her right hand and swung it in front of Su Jiu’s eyes.
Just as Su Jiu thought Bai Zhi was about to act shamelessly again, the rather cold voice came out, with a hint of its former ethereal fairy-like quality.
“I want two!”
Su Jiu: …
This creature was becoming uselessly cute. Bury it.
After making an agreement with Bai Zhi to temporarily act as her beast pet, Su Jiu provided her with food as payment. They parted ways only after reaching the mainland.
After doing all this, Su Jiu patted her Hanfu, pushed back her dragon whisker hair from her face, and glanced at the other person’s noble lady attire. Her eyebrows furrowed. The two of them seemed like sisters in ancient costumes.
“Hurry up… if you don’t behave, you won’t get food.”
Su Jiu gently opened the door, glanced at the fidgeting Bai Zhi, and walked out of the bathroom first. She looked at Huang Wen with a little apology and apologized repeatedly, “It’s my mischievous beast pet causing trouble. I just disciplined her, and now she’s much more obedient, right behind me.”
What a beautiful ancient costume beauty.
After sizing up Su Jiu’s Hanfu, Huang Wen looked up again, her face showing a look of amazement. Her eyes flickered, and then she came back to her senses after Su Jiu spoke. She blinked and nodded in agreement, saying softly,
“Beast pets that act up should be beaten, otherwise it will be too late when they act up during a fight… My beast pet is well-trained and very obedient.”
Then she smiled and asked, “Hehe, I heard other voices just now. Your beast pet, classmate Su Jiu, must be of a very high race, at least like those humanoid Demon Flame Giants in our Chuan Yu region, right?”
Demon Flame Giants are special monsters with high-rank Battle King bloodlines. They can speak and are intelligent. Obtaining a Demon Flame Giant in the Chuan Yu region is a very prestigious thing. Not only can they get a weapon like a great sword, but the giant can also fight alone.
“Humanoid? Indeed…”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu gently nodded. She looked at Bai Zhi, who was walking over with her head down reluctantly, and smiled softly, not noticing the look of astonishment on Huang Wen’s face.
Looking at Bai Zhi, who was no different from a human except for her eyes, Huang Wen was completely stunned. A higher race that could transform to this extent was probably not as simple as having Battle King level bloodline. This classmate Su Jiu was likely of great background!
However, it was generally not effective to use force on such higher races. They had their own pride. One could only slowly integrate their relationship by dealing with their temperament.
“Hooligan, I’m coming…”
Bai Zhi looked at Su Jiu, then glanced at Huang Wen beside her, and instinctively showed a look of disgust. She clenched her fist tightly. She had been persecuted by humans enough. If Su Jiu wasn’t a monster, she wouldn’t have compromised for now.
“Don’t put on a long face, and what are you calling me?” Su Jiu’s mouth twitched, and a dark line appeared on her forehead. She didn’t want to be misunderstood as someone who did strange things to her beast pet!
“Mas… Master…”
Hearing Su Jiu’s somewhat threatening voice, Bai Zhi said in a low voice somewhat reluctantly, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum. After speaking, she gently lowered her head, her neck flushing pink.
So shameful…
“Mmm… very good.”
Su Jiu replied softly, looking at the other person’s lowered head, she chuckled and reached out to gently stroke Bai Zhi’s head. Then she turned to Huang Wen and said helplessly, “My beast pet doesn’t like to interact with others very much. I’m sorry, classmate Huang. She just always disobeys me and has a rather naughty temper.”
“Ah? It’s okay, it’s okay. Like this human-shaped… uh, Miss, it’s normal not to like others. It’s normal for higher races to have some pride,” Huang Wen said, waving her hands repeatedly upon hearing Su Jiu’s voice.
“Hmph…”
Bai Zhi, who had been feeling comfortable being petted, slightly raised her head. A snort came from her small nostrils, and she gave Su Jiu a rather proud look, with a smug expression on her small face.
Looking at Bai Zhi’s appearance, Su Jiu couldn’t help but find it amusing. After all, she was a Demigod level Demon Lord, acting like a half-grown high school girlfriend, but she didn’t say it out loud. Instead, she leaned closer to the other person’s crystal-clear earlobe and whispered, “I’ll give you something delicious to eat when we get back. Behave yourself, okay?”
“Oh.”
Bai Zhi responded softly, her eyes like little white flowers slightly brightening. Then her little fangs slightly showed. This hateful vampire indeed had something better to eat than magic crystals, humph!
She knew she was hiding it! I’ll eat you poor!
Seeing that Bai Zhi was behaving well, Su Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was another foodie… Then, as if thinking of something, she turned to Huang Wen and asked somewhat puzzledly,
“Classmate Huang, what’s the situation with that Great Cuttlefish Sea Area you mentioned? I don’t recall any sea area next to Dragon Country having that name.”
“This… it’s a long story. Let’s go to the hall for the assembly first, and I’ll tell you on the way.”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, Huang Wen quickly came back to her senses, made a gesture to follow with a wry smile, then turned and walked towards the corridor outside, her steps slightly heavy.
“Don’t dawdle, let’s catch up!”
“Uh uh…”
Su Jiu glanced at Bai Zhi, who was lowering her head and tapping her toes with her materialized embroidered shoes. Su Jiu grabbed Bai Zhi’s wrist and walked out with a smile. Bai Zhi followed behind with her head down, taking small steps.
If no one knew, they would think that Bai Zhi was a pure and innocent maiden that Su Jiu had snatched from some respectable family. After all, Bai Zhi’s demeanor was very much like that of a young lady from the ancient Dragon Country, while Su Jiu looked very much like a young master from some family, rather dashing…
Soon, the three walked through the corridor. After a moment of darkness, they entered a brightly lit area. Su Jiu gently covered her eyes with her hand, and slowly opened her eyes after a moment.
The layout of the scene ahead was very similar to a hotel lobby for dining, but the atmosphere at this moment was exceptionally solemn. Four instructors stood on the stage at the front, their faces serious, while twenty tables of people below the red stage each had four people sitting neatly. They all showed signs of fear and nervousness on their faces.
As if noticing Huang Wen’s arrival, Mentor Lu Shu on the stage slowly stood up, looked around, and then leaned on the table with both hands, speaking into the microphone,
“Due to an inexplicable massive typhoon moving south, we cannot return along our original path. We can only head north along sea route M986 in the public waters. However, this route passes through the Great Cuttlefish Sea Area. Do you know why it’s called the Great Cuttlefish Sea Area? It is said that there are many Four-Patterned Giant Cuttlefish there, and it is a relatively dangerous sea area.”
“To prevent attacks from the Four-Patterned Giant Cuttlefish, our ship must enter a state of readiness and use all energy to support the shield.”
After speaking, Mentor Lu Shu paused slightly, as if wanting to gauge the students’ reactions, but he was soon somewhat disappointed.
“Four-Patterned Giant Cuttlefish?! Those are monsters that have at least High-Rank Battle General level when they reach adulthood. Can’t we change our route?”
“This is the sea! If we encounter a Battle King level demon, we can’t escape at all! Even a Battle General can’t fly such a long distance!”
“I knew we shouldn’t have risked it for those trivial academic credits!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the students erupted. They had heard that something big was happening and were curious, but they never expected that this so-called big event was related to their own lives.
“Everyone, calm down… these squid monsters generally feed on small fish and rarely attack human ships. As long as we don’t attack them tomorrow, they will definitely not attack us.”
Gently pressing his hands outwards, Lu Shu smiled and turned around, opening the electronic board behind him. With a flash of white light, the electronic board perfectly displayed the appearance of the Four-Patterned Giant Cuttlefish.
“This thing?!”
Seeing the large screen behind Lu Shu, Su Jiu’s pupils contracted sharply, and she couldn’t help but exclaim. Wasn’t this the same giant squid that chased her and Youyou on the bridge before?
This is no easy creature!
