Chapter 348: Competing in a Wheelchair? (3k)
Under the cover of night, the black unicorn’s face showed a hint of panic. It could clearly feel Su Jiu’s aura locking onto its body, and from the aura, it could also sense a tangible killing intent.
“If even he can be repelled, this person is definitely not someone I can contend with. Anyway, my kin have been rescued, so I should leave first.”
Noticing Su Jiu was still heading this way, the black unicorn’s fur stood on end, and the fear on its face intensified. Finally, it stomped its hooves.
To the astonishment of Aixi and others, it turned around, transforming into a streak of black light, and fled into the sky in a rather desperate manner. With a few flickers, it disappeared.
As the black unicorn retreated, the black external qi ropes binding the prisoners turned into wisps of light and vanished. They looked at each other in bewilderment, clearly not expecting events to unfold so dramatically and to be rescued just like that.
“Thank you, Sir, for saving us (for your assistance)!”
Soon, the figure clad in a black cloak arrived in front of everyone. They hastily clasped their fists in gratitude, including the buzz-cut Master Adventurer. Being able to defeat the Sacred Griffin made this person a big shot in his eyes.
“Is… is it her?!”
But as Su Jiu’s figure fully approached, he was stunned. His eyes widened slightly, and he whispered incredulously.
Immediately after, the enchanting woman behind the buzz-cut Master also recognized Su Jiu and was about to say something when she was grabbed by the latter. A look of seriousness appeared on his face, and he softly said, “Don’t speak…”
The enchanting woman was taken aback and nodded in understanding. Having been an adventurer for so long, she wasn’t foolish. She could act however she pleased in front of the weak, but she had to show ample respect to the strong.
The other party was wearing clothes that concealed their identity, clearly indicating they didn’t want their identity exposed.
Unlike the two, the others didn’t recognize Su Jiu as someone from their previous team. Even the brawny bounty hunter who had called out to Su Jiu earlier thought he was just a passing strong individual and didn’t think further in that direction.
There were two reasons for this: First, such black cloaks were common, and second, the medal Su Jiu had previously displayed was only for a beginner Adventurer King, and a beginner Adventurer King wouldn’t possess such strength.
The Sacred Elephant Son also got up and then looked up slightly, a smile appearing on his face. He sincerely said to Su Jiu, “Senior, if you don’t mind, could you tell me your name? I would like to express my sincere gratitude.”
“I was just passing by. There’s no need for thanks.”
Glancing at him, Su Jiu said in a hoarse voice, covering his wound. He then turned to leave, feeling the severity of his injuries. If he didn’t return to recuperate and treat them as soon as possible, it would inevitably lead to future trouble.
“That unicorn mentioned someone stole their offspring. It’s very likely this person… It’s a shame I can’t pay a price to exchange for the unicorn’s offspring.”
Watching Su Jiu’s retreating back, Aixi’s eyes revealed a hint of regret. He sighed and shook his head. His servant stepped forward with a mobile phone in hand and quietly said, “Young Master, the school wants us to return quickly. It seems they’ve arranged a match with Hu Yang, that talented individual from Magical Capital University, tomorrow.”
Then, with a worried look at the blood-stained golden feather on Aixi’s body, he softly added, “You’re injured. I’m afraid winning tomorrow’s match will be difficult.”
“No need to worry. Those Dragon Country people, apart from that martial arts fanatic, are no threat. Come and carry me back.”
Waving his hand, Aixi didn’t say anything else. He beckoned to his own people behind him and had them carry him back. Although the black binding ropes were gone, the feathers on his body carried a sealing effect.
Having left those people, Su Jiu entered the city within a few minutes. He had stowed away his cloak early. Along the way, the entire street was empty, with only some patrolling soldiers yawning sleepily.
“Huff… if I go back to the inn looking like this, I’ll probably worry that comedian again.”
In the light drizzle, Su Jiu found shelter under a eaves. He coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then began to heal himself with the Spring Bloom Technique, barely stopping the bleeding.
However, a sacred power still relentlessly eroded his wounds. Even using the Qingmian Technique on the way had no effect.
Based on Su Jiu’s own medical experience, this kind of thing could probably only be consumed like “Little Black” in the Qi Cultivation Tower as an exotic energy. But his body was unstable now, and forceful, large-scale removal could easily cause a backlash. He could only consume it bit by bit, which would take about two to three days for complete assimilation.
“That Sacred Griffin indeed had an owner. This is probably proof from its owner, and also what blocked my mental perception?”
While healing his body with one hand, Su Jiu took out the yellow token that had fallen from the Sacred Griffin from his pocket. His gaze fell upon it, and he could vaguely see some unintelligible text on the front of the token, which was already almost corroded.
“This should be useful when I do some petty thievery in the future.”
Su Jiu chuckled self-deprecatingly. She wasn’t a sentimental person. Since this token could provide a certain degree of mental perception blocking, she kept it well. It might be useful somewhere in the future.
Just as Su Jiu was about to continue healing his body, a figure slowly formed from the rainwater on the ground and then appeared behind her. Subsequently, a pair of warm hands gently grasped her small hand. The distinct rose scent caused Su Jiu’s body to stiffen slightly, and a look of resignation appeared on her face…
Was she discovered after all?
“Why are you so badly injured? Do you know how worried I was when I sensed your location through our bloodline?”
Soon, a clear female voice echoed in the silent rainy night. The voice, filled with concern and a hint of displeasure, made Su Jiu fall silent.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jiu smiled helplessly and patted her head. She coughed again before softly saying, “It was nothing, but if you hug me any tighter, I might actually be in trouble.”
“Don’t move, I’ll carry you back to the inn.”
Seeing Su Jiu’s ability to joke, Vivian slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of Su Jiu, then spoke with a bit of resentment, and then lifted Su Jiu’s ankle. In the rainy night, she performed a princess carry.
…
After returning to the inn, Su Jiu didn’t rush to sleep. She glanced at the clock; it was almost dawn. After a hot shower, she began the long process of healing. The blood-red leaves of the Spring Bloom Technique landed on the white bed, adding a peculiar charm to Su Jiu.
This time, her journey was not without gains. She obtained a pet egg that appeared to be of high grade, and her flame evolved into black fire, which had extraordinary attributes in both forms.
However, while she was recovering from her injuries, the competition list was quietly revealed. Su Jiu’s team was ranked fourth, facing a team from a small country, with their strongest member only at the High-ranking War General Level.
The sky began to brighten, turning a hazy gray. Due to the rain, the scene outside the window looked somewhat damp. Su Jiu wanted to get up but found that the wound near her waist was still being corroded by the holy light, and several bones were also broken, making it impossible to straighten her back.
Seeing Su Jiu trying to force herself to stand, Vivian helplessly pushed a wheelchair in front of Su Jiu and said, “Sit on it. Your waist has been severely corroded. If you force yourself to stand up, it’s very easy to break those already cracked bones again.”
Last night, after examining Su Jiu’s wound, Vivian determined that she would need to rest for at least five to six days. Early in the morning, she directly borrowed a wheelchair from a nearby hospital.
“Damn! It’s really impossible to stand up normally.”
Hearing Vivian’s words, Su Jiu tried several more times but still couldn’t get up. She could only look at the wheelchair with a dead fish eye, her heart filled with frustration.
Seeing Su Jiu obediently sit in the wheelchair, Vivian rolled her eyes and gently tapped Su Jiu’s head, saying with a hint of blame, “I told you not to go adventuring alone. If there was danger, why didn’t you call me first?”
“Alright, alright! If you tap any more, I won’t be able to grow taller!”
Covering her small head with her hands, Su Jiu’s dead fish eyes remained unchanged, but her small face pouted. Competing in a wheelchair, would others think she was insane?
“The competition is about to start. I’ve asked Li Yi and the others to secure our seats, so let’s go quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Vivian stopped what she was doing, then turned around and waved, walking towards the door. Her hand rested on the doorknob for a moment, with the corners of her alluring lips curving upward, as if waiting for something.
Watching her retreating back, Su Jiu blinked her eyes and looked at the wheelchair. After a moment of silence, she wanted to say something, but her small face turned red from holding back. She pursed her small lips, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and shouted, “Carry… carry me up!”
Vivian’s lips flattened, and upon hearing this, she turned around, looking at Su Jiu with a face full of suspicion. She tilted her head and asked, “You stinky servant, what did you just say?”
“You… how can you pretend to be dumb?”
Seeing Vivian feigning ignorance, Su Jiu’s eyes twitched involuntarily. But she thought that using external qi to lift herself onto the wheelchair might damage the wheelchair.

Seeing Vivian’s innocent and pure look, Su Jiu tilted her head, bared her canine teeth, and closed her eyes again, repeating, “Carry me… up!”
For the first time, Vivian saw a cute side of Su Jiu, like a young girl. She hummed a long “Oh~” with a smile, then looked at Su Jiu’s thighs in white pantyhose…
Su Jiu closed her eyes, only able to perform this self-deceptive action. The main reason was that she really didn’t want to see the foxy, triumphant smile on Vivian’s face. But soon, she realized the disadvantage of closing her eyes…
She felt herself being lifted by her buttocks, and that hand was still mischievously pinching!
“The feel is good… hmm… very bouncy.”
Just as she was about to open her eyes and angrily scold Vivian for taking revenge, a blush spread like a spiderweb across Su Jiu’s neck, above her pointed ears. Then, Vivian’s teasing voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Soon, her small buttocks safely landed on the wheelchair.
Closing her eyes in resignation, Su Jiu leaned back in the wheelchair, feeling that she might be controlled by this bad woman today.
