Chapter 25: Night Falls
Zhiyuan High School.
Su Jiu took a taxi back to the dormitory from the city center at dusk. As usual, she reported her presence to Lu Nan and then returned to her dorm.
She took out the agreed-upon egg liquid from Bai Qianyu’s backpack, placed it on the table, quietly closed the door, and opened the mineral water cap.
Instantly, a strange fragrance permeated the room, somewhat like a strong perfume.
“E Huo, want some?”
Su Jiu lifted her left hand and placed E Huo next to the plastic bottle, asking softly.
Her E Huo seemed uninterested in the stuff, appearing as if it were going into hibernation, just like ordinary snakes, and didn’t communicate in her mind.
Su Jiu felt it probably needed to consume that energy, as it contained Dragon Whiskers Ginseng and magic crystals. Even a cub with War God level talent would need to digest them.
Without further ado, Su Jiu watched the egg liquid under the light, pouring a small bottle cap. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to drink more… she recalled that evening when Bai Qianyu only took one sip and fainted, only waking up the next morning.
However, seeing her excited expression, Su Jiu knew the egg liquid’s power without even thinking about it.
Swallowing, she began to drink. In an instant, a warm current surged through her body, feeling like chugging vodka.
Every meridian felt a strange warmth, as if her whole body was about to be opened up. Su Jiu had a feeling that she was not far from becoming an Intermediate Stage Warrior.
Although the Warrior Class was said to be divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, more localized terms in Dragon Country are actually meridian shaping, bone setting, and qi preservation, corresponding to the tasks that should be done at these stages.
For example, once Su Jiu cultivated all eight meridians that represent martial arts and her body’s meridians became integrated, she would officially enter the intermediate warrior stage.
An exotic item like the egg liquid, which can nurture all eight meridians simultaneously, is rare. Usually, people use body-tempering fluid to slowly clear internal blockages.
It can be said that once Su Jiu nurtured the first meridian, her other seven would be nurtured simultaneously, making her seven times faster than others.
While she was quietly cultivating, at a forgotten corner outside the campus, several black shadows flashed by. They seemed to have some shiny silver items hanging on their chests.
Soon, they slipped into the gap between two alleyways. After exchanging glances, they slowly lowered their hoods. One of them was the twin-tailed girl Su Jiu had met briefly.
“How did the tasks go? It’s rare that Huang Fusheng was called to the city hall for a meeting today. Let the Demonic Mole go in and sacrifice a few students.” A shadowy young man sneered as he licked his lips, “I haven’t received feedback from Lord of the Gods in a long time.”
“Hehe, my beast pet can’t wait to go in and change its food.” Another was a short boy who gently summoned a pet resembling a large dog.
“After all, there are no annoying teachers to stop us at night.”
His face was the same as the Soul Devouring Demonic Mole in Su Jiu’s phone, but its eyes were normal black.
Hearing this, the twin-tailed girl’s expression became somewhat abnormal. She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, saying, “You guys will ruin Holy Priest Liuguang’s good work. Don’t forget that Exorcists are always on duty.”
“Exorcists? What can they do? If you said Dragon Hunters, maybe I’d be a little scared.”
The shadowy young man sneered. A few days ago, he was the one who shot an arrow and injured the leading woman. It was laughable that she still thought it was the Demonic Mole that did it.
“But the Exorcists…” The twin-tailed girl wanted to say more.
The short boy waved his hand and looked at her fiercely, “Qingyue, don’t think that just because you got into the Holy Priest’s bed and screamed a few times, you can boss us seasoned cultists around.”
Hearing this, the twin-tailed girl’s face immediately darkened. But looking at the Demonic Mole baring its teeth at her, she swallowed her retort.
“When it’s deep into the night, have the Demonic Mole go around to the girls’ dorm on the back mountain, grab one or two to vent our desires, and then sacrifice them.”
Seeing Qingyue the twin-tailed girl shut up, the shadowy young man smiled, patted the short boy’s shoulder, and said lewdly.
…
Girls’ Dormitory.
“Beep beep!!”
Su Jiu’s phone rang. She slowly opened her eyes and answered the call.
“The Demonic Mole has appeared. The signal we placed on it last time indicates it’s in an alley two hundred meters from Zhiyuan High School entrance…” Liu Hong’s voice came from the other end, accompanied by the sounds of various electronic devices being tapped.
“Sister Liu, an alley at the entrance of Zhiyuan High School, are you sure?” Su Jiu was slightly stunned. What a coincidence?
“Wait, the signal has disappeared. It should have been placed back into the spiritual space. I estimate you’ll need to go there for a field survey.” Sister Liu’s voice sounded a bit helpless.
“It’s fine, I’m very close. I’ll go take a look.”
Su Jiu put away the egg liquid beside her and was about to go to the bathroom to change into her disguise outfit. She could only put the outfit in her bag.
Just then, the dormitory door opened. It was Su Jiu’s roommates, back from their evening self-study, their faces still radiating the glow of youthful girls.
“Wow, that Frost Sword Warrior is so cool. I really want to be like her.” One girl plopped onto the bed, her eyes fixed on the video on her phone.
“She’s not only cool but also an experienced Dragon Hunter.” Another girl’s eyes also sparkled with admiration, “Otherwise, Teacher Lu wouldn’t have kept showing videos of her killing Scarlet Flame Wolves in class tonight.”
The girl watching the phone video suddenly turned to Bai Qianyu and asked with blinking eyes, “Qianyu, I heard you were there last night too. Can you tell us more about her?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t even met her.”
Bai Qianyu, who was tidying her backpack, shook her head lightly. Her eyes glanced at Su Jiu, who was squatting in the balcony of the bathroom talking on the phone, and she thought to herself: It’s better if you guys don’t know her.
At this moment, Su Jiu had finished her call and came out from the balcony. She chuckled, grabbed the bag on her bed, and walked straight out the door.
She was muttering something like “five hundred thousand, walking five hundred thousand,” acting like a scoundrel.

Bai Qianyu learned through her QQ account that Su Jiu was now a nationally certified exorcist, likely on her way to hunt monsters.
As Su Jiu brushed past her, Bai Qianyu turned her head and whispered into her ear as her green silk hair fluttered past, “Be careful on your way.”
Su Jiu heard this, stopped, stood on her tiptoes slightly, patted Bai Qianyu’s head, and grinned, “Me, don’t you know me yet? Don’t worry.”
Watching Su Jiu’s departing back, Bai Qianyu was silent for a moment before approaching her bed, pulling the curtain, taking out the egg liquid, and watching it quietly, sighing again.
The gap is too big, isn’t it? She’s still a high school student, while the other person is already a civil servant with a stable position.
And an offensive profession like an exorcist.
“Qianyu, it’s so late. Where do you think Su Jiu is fooling around again? Maybe at a nightclub?” At this moment, the girl who was just watching videos quietly spoke up, her tone suggesting she was sure Su Jiu went to such a disreputable place.
“Stop guessing, she’s definitely going to nightclubs, KTVs, and the like.” Another girl rolled her eyes, “As long as we don’t interfere with each other, why bother with what she does?”
“Nightclubs? Maybe.”
After all, all of Huayang is Sister Jiu’s nightclub, a nightclub for hunting monsters.
Bai Qianyu gently unscrewed the cap, took a small sip, and recalled the scene of Su Jiu patting her head. Her face inexplicably turned a little red. After a moment of daze, she began to cultivate her meridians.
