Chapter 275 Departure, Flower City! (Second update!)
After another sleepless night, Su Jiu watched the morning sun shine in, stretched, and glanced at Bai Zhi curled up on the sofa with her feet hugged. She didn’t put on her crow feather attire again, but changed into a black short skirt, JK uniform with white over-the-knee socks.
After all, there was no battle, and she couldn’t wear battle attire all day. She quite liked this outfit that she had been wearing for over a year.
After getting dressed, she noticed Bai Zhi was lowering her head, her eyes a little hollow. Su Jiu rolled her eyes and slowly approached, patted Bai Zhi’s head, and said gently, “Don’t be sulky, I’ll take you to Flower City to eat delicious food. There are many monster meats sold there.”
Last night, she finally managed to pin down Bai Zhi and examine her. She indeed found that apart from two small blood clan teeth marks, there was nothing else on her small breasts. They were smooth and fair, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
However, to be safe, in case of internal bleeding, as Bai Zhi’s clothes looked a little wet, it was possible there was heavy bleeding. She used her finger for a medical examination. As a result, Bai Zhi looked like she had been… Su Jiu thought she was quite professional in her examination, so why did it turn out like this…
“No…”
Bai Zhi lowered her head, dodged Su Jiu’s touch, and said softly. Her swan-like white neck turned a little red, and her legs were slightly clenched. Every time she recalled the scene last night, she felt a perverse craving – a craving for Su Jiu to continue the examination…
That feeling… was very comfortable.
She felt she was probably sick, actually having the thought of letting a bad woman play with her.
“Then what do you want? What happened yesterday is my fault. When we get to Flower City, whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you.”
Seeing Bai Zhi’s absentmindedness, Su Jiu sighed. After last night’s events, she considered Bai Zhi to be one of her own. After all, they had accidentally had close contact, and it was impolite to treat her as an outsider.
“This Seat wants…”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, Bai Zhi lowered her head. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Su Jiu’s slender fingers. Her eyes, which usually sparkled with flowers, were slightly misty. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she bit her soft lips tightly, but she still couldn’t say what she wanted.
Why could she shamelessly crave that pervert to toy with her body?
Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi, you’re like a little slut.
“What do you want?”
Su Jiu was somewhat baffled by Bai Zhi’s behavior. Seeing her cheeks turn rosy again, she subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead and muttered to herself worriedly, “Your face is so red, do you have a fever?”
“No… perhaps it’s just too cold in Yunpu City.” Bai Zhi stared intently at Su Jiu’s hand, swallowed, and then gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to think of strange things. She managed to squeeze out a smile and said.
“Knock knock!”
“It should be those Dragon Hunters… You put your clothes on properly, I’m going to open the door.”
Su Jiu was about to say something else when the door was knocked. Thinking of something, she instructed Bai Zhi and walked towards the door.
“This Seat is going to take a bath.”
After seeing Su Jiu leave, Bai Zhi felt immensely relieved and slowly got up. She took off the pajamas Su Jiu gave her and hurried to the bathroom. As she got up, a few glistening drops could be seen on the pajamas at the hips. Since she was a flower demon, it didn’t smell unpleasant, but rather had a faint scent of orchids.
Upon opening the door, Su Jiu saw a middle-aged man in black standing at the door, with a full beard. The man’s clothes bore a crystal-like Dragon Hunter medal. Behind him stood the five Dragon Hunters from before, all standing respectfully.
“May the dawn be with us.”
The middle-aged man placed a hand on his chest, bowed his straight body slightly, and said with a smile, “Thank you, Honorable Elder, for saving my five unworthy students. I am here with them to express our gratitude and to help you exchange for the corpse of the Ming Sect Leader.”
“It’s nothing much…”
Su Jiu waved her hand, handed over the sect leader’s corpse, and then smiled faintly.
“No need to be modest. At such a young age, you’ve killed an Intermediate Battle King. I’m afraid there are very few people like you in the entire Dragon Country…”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned. After receiving the corpse, he looked at Su Jiu with surprise. In his opinion, this age was usually a time for arrogance, but Su Jiu was so calm, completely unlike someone of her age.
Then, he lightly chuckled, lightly touched the storage bag, and a black bank card with dragon patterns appeared in his hand. He handed the bank card to Su Jiu and said with a smile, “There are six million Long Guo Currency in here. This is your reward for killing the Ancient God Sect Leader and the Shadow Cult Fanatics, a gift from the school. As for the merit points, they will be issued with a delay.”
“Thank you for the gift, Senior. Killing Ancient God Cult Followers is our inherent duty.”
Su Jiu did not refuse the black card. It was rightfully hers. She immediately put the card into her…
Her gaze swept over the Sun Wukong boy and the Blue Hairpin Girl. Under their puzzled gazes, she took out two frosty white balls from her storage bag and tossed them into their hands, saying softly, “Catch! Consider it a small token of my affection. You all call me boss, so a boss shouldn’t let her subordinates call her for nothing.”
“Thank you, Boss! If you ever need us in the future, just give the word!”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up with ecstatic joy. They glanced at each other’s White Snowballs, and under the envious gazes of the other two, they repeatedly expressed their thanks. They had heard from Senior Du that these White Snowballs contained something…
For these students who had not yet graduated, this was no less than immense fortune. With the creatures inside these White Snowballs, they would no longer have to worry about contracts after advancing to Battle King.
“I don’t expect you to go through mountains of knives and seas of flames. If you prosper in the future, just treat me to a meal,” Su Jiu said with a faint smile.
“E Huo… Didn’t you say you were leaving this noon? Don’t dawdle.” Suddenly, a clear and cold voice came from the room. Everyone looked and saw Bai Zhi, dressed like a noble lady, with a wisp of misty aura around her hair. Her demon-like face carried an unapproachable coldness.
She didn’t like interacting with humans. The reason she could chat so well with the little shop owner before was because he was a Half-Demon.
Everyone silently marveled at her charm, then quickly averted their gaze. The saying “see no evil” was not unfamiliar to these college students.
Hearing Bai Zhi’s urging, Su Jiu smiled and stopped being polite. She cupped her hands to everyone and, with a heroic aura, laughed heartily, “See you all another day. We need to be on our way to Flower City, one of the main cities in Chuan Yu.”
“E Huo! Let’s go, target is Flower City to the west!”
Su Jiu summoned E Huo. Its nearly ten-meter-long body appeared incredibly huge on the street. As if sensing the gazes of passersby, it immediately shot into the sky. Su Jiu held onto the scales on E Huo’s waist with one hand, and with the other, she wrapped around Bai Zhi’s slender willow waist. She said with a light laugh, “See you all again if fate allows!”
“Boss (Honorable Elder), travel safely!”
The crowd on the ground shouted at the long dragon in the sky. Looking at E Huo’s appearance, they couldn’t help but feel envious… A monster that looked so much like a dragon must have a very high racial value. However, with Su Jiu’s status, having such a mount was not surprising.
“Everyone, take care of yourselves!”
Holding Bai Zhi in front of her, Su Jiu smiled and nodded at those below. Then, she gently patted E Huo’s dragon horn. As it trembled, a white mist surged over its entire body. Without any delay, it transformed into a white long shadow and swooped towards the vast mountain range.
Gazing at the figure gradually disappearing into the horizon, the crowd finally retracted their gaze after a long while. They sighed to each other. The person came and left in a hurry, truly a remarkable woman.
“This Honorable Elder seems to have said she’s going to Flower City. I remember a lot of college student representatives came there, seemingly for freshmen to buy pets. I wonder if this person also represented the school,” Senior Du suddenly asked in a low voice after retracting her gaze. Hearing her question, everyone present turned their gaze towards the middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back.
“Pfft…” The middle-aged man softly chuckled and shook his head, saying with some amusement, “A Battle King level expert, a Night Watcher Elder, going to represent the school to buy pets for a playdate? She’s probably going to the auction house to sell those bird-like monsters, and her ultimate goal might be the Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Grass or some rare materials.”
Hearing the man’s words, these Dragon Hunters suddenly realized. Although that adult was still a student, in the eyes of their professors who were experts, she was already an equal.
Flower City, on a mountain peak not far from the city center, was bustling with figures, and occasional roars of beasts could be heard. A woman dressed rather revealingly watched the students gathered below nonchalantly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She said in rather unfamiliar Long Guo accent, “With this level, in the World Campus Competition in half a month, they won’t even have the qualification to make me release an arrow…”
“Miss Xiangzi, you mustn’t underestimate them. The five major academies of Dragon Country and the Dragon Hunter Military Academy are still very strong. Last time in Fuzhou, we were dealt with by a Dragon Hunter who was likely…” Behind the scantily clad woman stood an old man in a black suit, who appeared to be the woman’s butler.
“Shut up! How could that Dragon Hunter possibly be a student!” The scantily clad woman immediately reprimanded the old man, then a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
“And even if she were, with her strength, which hasn’t even reached War General Level, matched against me, who is already a Peerless Battle General, hehe…”
After saying this, Xiangzi’s gaze turned towards the slope of the mountain. There, nearly a hundred figures stood quietly. In front of these figures stood four people, either tall or thin, standing erect. Feeling the immensely powerful aura seeping from within them, they were clearly all Senior Battle Generals.
So many people gathered on the hillside, yet it was eerily silent. A subtle sense of pressure enveloped the surroundings, and even the roars of beasts from the forest quietly lessened considerably.
After glancing at the people behind her, Xiangzi chuckled and said to the butler behind her with great seriousness, “This time, besides restocking monsters from Dragon Country, we must definitely acquire the Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Grass and the Dragon Demon Egg at the bottom. The Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Grass is related to the injuries of an elder in my family, and the Dragon Demon Egg will be the first banner I raise for the world competition in half a month.”
After a moment of silence, her eyes flashed with ferocity, and she said with a chilling killing intent, “If anyone dares to compete with us, we will simply intercept them. My second uncle, who is an Intermediate Battle King, is accompanying us.”
