Chapter 364: Making a Fuss on the First Day
Translator: Udong Editor: Udong
Though no rules or regulations in Zence Empire formulated that a man could only marry one woman, it was self-evident that the females would feel discontented if their husbands married more than one woman.
No one likes sharing his or her beloved things with someone else, yet the tradition of polygamy had been pa.s.sed down for ages. The females kept an acquiesced understanding that their husbands possessed more than one woman, yet none of them could put up with the behavior of taking in a different woman every now and then.
Standing in silence by Gomez Jane"s side, Rosella nodded her head softly and bashfully. For the past while, Rosella had already acknowledged Gomez Jane"s stance of being the first wife of Qian Jin. Thus at this very moment, it was her unshakeable responsibility to agree with every act and decision by Gomez Jane.
"How come…" Qian Jin forced a bitter smile, "you are all wise people. Can"t you tell the authenticity of her words?"
"Some are true, while the others might be fake." Gomez Jane said in a light voice, "At least she was upright in saying that she had feelings for you. I can tell it with the women"s sixth sense."
Rosella continued standing in silence by Gomez Jane"s side. Nodding quietly, she didn"t dare look into Qian Jin eyes.
Qian Jin couldn"t help casting a look at Lucifer Lucy, "This girl…she is a demon…"
"So what?" Lucifer Lucy rolled her remaining eye and pointed to the right eye socket void of the eyeball, "Aren"t you ready to take responsibilities for what you have done to me?"
Qian Jin didn"t want to speak for himself, because the more explanations he made, the more troubles there would be. Gomez Jane was, after all, a woman of wisdom, so it might be impossible for Lucifer Lucy to fool her. As for her teasing him about taking back home a girl from the Zence Royal Family, he just took it as an indirect protest.
"I know..." Qian Jin instantly nodded his head, as he didn"t want to waste time on such an entangled issue. So the best way to call a stop to it might be taking it on his account.
Gomez Jane uttered a dim smile, took over Rojin from Qian Jin"s arms, and said lightly, "I don"t mean to stop you from marrying other girls. It"s just that you already have five…"
"Five?" Qian Jin seemed to have seen hordes of demon beasts rampaging in front of his eyes. Counting Rosella, Gomez Jane, and Luna, the total number should be three. Where did the number "five" come from?
"This demon girl…" Rosella was still standing behind Gomez Jane with head lowered. She paced around a little and said in a low voice, "and Sister Gabriella…"
Lucifer Lucy? Qian Jin scratched his head, "What does it have to do with Gabriella?"
"Gabriella…" Gomez Jane said slowly and faintly: "You haven"t seen her after coming back, right? You should go to Punitive Expedition Academy to see her. She has been in a low mood recently."
Unhappy? Unsmooth? Qian Jin felt it necessary to clarify his relations.h.i.+p with Gabriella to Rosella and Gomez Jane first.
"Sister Gabriella lived with you in the cavern for two years…" Rosella lowered her head, and looked at her toes as she had a flush spreading over her ears and neck, "Who else dares to marry her apart from you?"
"Eh…" Seeing Gomez Jane nodding to show her agreement, Qian Jin rubbed his temple softly, knowing that it would be impossible for him to round up the mess today.
"Go see her." Gomez Jane fondled the little baby Rojin, "she"s suffering now."
Qian Jin sighed and recalled Gabriella, who always covered her face with a big mage hat, adding some intransigent yet somewhat hopeless color to her image. Seeing this, Qian Jin felt something unusual.
"All right, I will go now." Qian Jin turned away to walk out of the room. Suddenly he stopped and turned back to look at Rosella, "Cut down the contact with that York guy from now on."
Rosella flushed heavily, brimmed with excitement as could be seen from the smile on her cheeks. "Jin is jealous for me! Brother, are you seeing this from the star? Jin is feeling jealous because of me!
Seeing Rosella"s reaction, Gomez Jane couldn"t stop shaking her head and sighing. At this moment, no one could a.s.sociate her with the unparalleled genius acclaimed around Yulee Trading a.s.sociation who behaved intelligent and composed when negotiating on business with the clients. For a girl in love, the caring from her prince charming brought more bliss than running a large successful business.
Time made no changes to the Punitive Expedition Academy. Nothing, even including the gate of the campus. It remained just the same as what it was months ago.
Qian Jin stationed in front of this antique building, sensing something different from what he observed last time. What was that then? Yeah, the atmosphere.
As far as he recalled, this school used to be enveloped by a grave scent. But today, the guarding warriors by the gate were dressed in youthfulness, or you could say, there was a light trace of ferocious in them.
Atrocious, and skillful, seeming to tear apart everything and everyone running into them.
Noting the warrior uniform of Punitive Expedition Academy worn on Qian Jin"s body, these guarding students didn"t come up for interrogation. Instead, they just stood motionless at their posts.
Walking on the campus road and glancing through the warrior students, Qian Jin felt as if he had stepped into a battlefront filled with a strong smell of war and surrounded by enemies. He wasn"t given such a feeling the last time.
"Interesting." Qian Jin kept smacking his lips. It was natural for warrior students to keep a nose for war by living in such a fierce war-like environment. The settings of advanced warrior academies were undoubtedly better among all others.
"Excuse me…" Qian Jin fastened steps to catch up with a female mage student dressing in mage robe, nodded his head slightly and asked, "Do you know where Gabriella is?"
Hearing the name of Gabriella, the female mage student carrying a heavy pile of mage-related books flashed a light of surprise out of her eyes. She didn"t expect anyone to look for the star student who was once famous before.
"Gabriella? Are you looking for Gabriella? Are you a fan of our ingenious mage? I will lead you there then."
A somewhat lofty voice sounded, and it was familiar to Qian Jin, However, he couldn"t draw a clear picture of the speaker. So he turned back to see who it was.
It was Abela.
This young female mage student was dressed in a suit of scarlet mage robe, which, through special tailoring and embellis.h.i.+ng, got rid of the plumpness of usual mage robes, and thus looked much more appealing to the eye.
The ruby inlaid in the magic wand seemed smaller than last time, but the magic surge of it had been increased. The entire magic wand was wrapped by a thin piece of Mithril with unfathomable patterns curved around.
"It"s you!"
Abela goggled at Qian Jin blankly and replaced the proudness on her face with sheer anger. Wielding the magic wand frantically in the air, she used her spiritual power to trigger the magic elements and activated the magic scroll hidden in her sleeves.
Seeing this, the other students on the path made room for them.
Qian Jin lifted his eyebrows. Instead of activating the Innumerable Shadows, he dashed at Abela like a sprinting war horse at full speed, stirring up a strong gust of wind and leaving a smashed
No sooner had the mixture of magic elements and spiritual power disappeared. With legs lifted halfway for an escape, the students pa.s.sing by felt surprised to find that this unexpected fight had already ended.
"Ahem…" Abela tried hard to separate Qian Jin"s buckling hand around her neck. In the meantime, she was kicking his legs in the air as she tried to step back onto the ground.
"You…what do you want to do? Do you know who she is? Vice President of the Crystal Magic Tower Xander and…"
The four young mage students following Abela stared at Qian Jin with sheer panic, while cl.u.s.tering magic elements with their magic wands. Still, they didn"t dare perform any enchantments for fear that this warrior student called Qian Jin might crush down Abela"s neck.
The students pa.s.sing by flung their head hard, feeling it hard to believe in what they had seen. Abela, a Level 6 Mage, and the beloved daughter of the Vice President of Crystal Magic Tower, was being pinched by a warrior student and lifted high. However hard she shook her feet in the air, the warrior student showed no signs of letting go of her.
"What do I want to do?" Qian Jin took an indifferent look at the four followers of Abela, "The worst outcome for me is being filed onto the court, as it was her who took the lead to perform a magic attack against me without me having infringed her. Whether I will be sentenced to the human-demon battlefront remains somewhat unknown. Even if her predominant father pulls some wires to put me onto the human-demon battlefront, I won"t even make a wink."
Abela felt that the fingers buckling around her neck were increasing strength. Suffocated, she had begun losing consciousness due to the paralysis of her limbs.
Frighten. Never in her life had Abela felt frightened like today. This man…seemed determined to kill her.
Looking at Abela who was being pinched by his hand, Qian Jin thought to himself that it wouldn"t be a wise choice to kill her under such a circ.u.mstance. If expelled to the human-demon battlefront for this girl, he would have to pay a huge price.
Let go of her? Qian Jin felt resigned. This girl had released a number of sneak attacks during his trip to the Demons" territory. If he let go of her, she would be very likely to bring more troubles to him. However, today"s situation was detrimental to him, as there were a lot of viewers on site.
"Qian Jin, do you mean to make a fuss on your first day of cla.s.s after three months? Release her."
A voice husky and full of resentment rang behind the four mage students, drawing the attention of every pa.s.ser-by. It was an instructor talking.
The warrior suit of the instructors of Punitive Expedition Academy was unique, highly recognizable in the bustling streets of Yulee by common folks, let alone the students of Punitive Expedition Academy.
The one breaking into the picture had a strong build and a hearty walking manner. With his golden hair and the inflamed expression, he looked just like the Lion King in the wild.
Pinching Abela"s neck with a single hand, Qian Jin turned back at the instructor who was coming toward him. He was surprised. "What day is it today?" Qian Jin thought. He had already run into two old acquaintances during such a short time strolling around the campus.
