Chapter 879 Talebearing
The Little Witch said, “I agree with you. I don’t think my grandpa is that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding. However, I was young at that time, so I didn’t know what had happened.”
“My grandma doesn’t think so. She is very angry. Although it has been ten years, she never forgave my grandpa.”
This geezer was really pitiful. In contrast, he was much happier. With this idea in mind, he suddenly thought of those women on earth. Then, endless longing rose from the bottom of his heart.
He had to upgrade his cultivation as soon as possible and go back and reunite with his family.
“Little brother, what are you thinking about? You look very sad.”
“Nothing.”
Although the little girl trusted him very much, Qin Haodong still didn’t want to tell her his secret. He changed the subject and said, “How did you get here?”
The Little Witch said, “I went back to our dormitory after cla.s.s with Sister Xingyue. When I pa.s.sed by, I heard that you were taken into the office by my Grandpa. I was afraid that he would give you a hard time, so I came to help you.”
Qin Haodong said, “I’m going to the medicinal materials market to buy some medicinal materials. Do you want to go back to the dormitory or go with me?”
“Of course I’ll go with you. Before you and Sister Xingyue came, I had no friends in the whole academy. They were scared to death when they saw me. No one dared to play with me.”
Qin Haodong laughed and said, “That was because you’re always teasing others.”
He understood why those people ran away as soon as they saw Luo Hongying. They couldn’t afford to offend her. Also, they couldn’t defeat her. Moreover, the a.s.sociate Director of the academy was her grandpa. Thus, it was best for them to stay away from her.
The Little Witch giggled. “My grandma told me that men are bad. That’s why I often tease them.”
“In fact, it’s not my fault. They’re too annoying. If they were as handsome as you and could cook delicious food, I would have made friends with them a long ago.”
Qin Haodong shook his head secretly. It seemed that her grandma had a great impact on her. At the same time, he was full of curiosity about her grandma. He wondered what kind of woman she was.
They went to the medicine sales center. Qin Haodong chose the medicine materials he needed and then showed his Level Five Alchemist Medal.
The waiter was the one who attended to him last time. When he saw Qin Haodong taking out his medal, he was shocked. He didn’t expect this new student to obtain the Alchemist Medal so quickly and at such a high level.
“Junior brother, you didn’t borrow this medal, did you?”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Do you think anyone would be willing to lend me the Level Five Alchemist Medal?”
“No one will do that. Only Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er in our academy has the Level Five Alchemist Medal. She will definitely not lend it to you.”
The waiter shook his head and abandoned his idea. Then he began to settle the bill for Qin Haodong.
Originally, these medicinal materials added up to 1200 top-level Spirit Stones. After 50% off, Qin Haodong paid 600 top-level Spirit Stones in total.
Qin Haodong put the medicinal materials into his Storage Ring with satisfaction. It seemed that the Alchemist Medal was very useful.
After buying the medicinal materials, he returned to the dormitory with the Little Witch. He saw Zhao Xingyue standing in the yard, looking about like a little wife waiting for her husband to come back.
Qin Haodong asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m waiting for you to come back,” Zhao Xingyue said with some embarra.s.sment.
“Then why don’t you wait in the house?”
Zhao Xingyue lowered her head and said, “I don’t dare to stay alone in the house.”
Qin Haodong was speechless. This girl looked like a princess. Her cultivation was at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm but she was so timid.
He took them into the house and soon prepared a delicious dinner. Then, he took out the medicinal materials from his Storage Ring and was ready to refine pills.
Although the dormitory of the Tortoise Academy was expensive, it was well worth it. Each dormitory was equipped with a small alchemy room.
The Little Witch patted her belly with satisfaction. Seeing that Qin Haodong was going to refine pills, she said, “Little brother, I’ll go for a walk and come back later in the evening.”
“Go ahead!”
Qin Haodong didn’t want to have the Little Witch with him when he was refining pills. He was afraid that she would be a distraction.
“Little brother, do you have any more ice cream? Can you give me another one?”
The Little Witch licked her beautiful red lips as she spoke. It seemed that she was addicted to ice cream.
“You’ll get fat if you’re so greedy.”
Qin Haodong pinched her little nose and took out two ice-cream cones from his Storage Ring. He gave one to the Little Witch and the other to Zhao Xingyue.
“I’m a natural beauty. I won’t get fat!”
The Little Witch took the ice-cream cone and ran off with a chuckle.
Qin Haodong entered the alchemy room. Zhao Xingyue ate her ice cream quietly while watching him refine pills.
Qin Haodong first refined the Cultivation Pill. He was very familiar with this kind of pill. Half an hour later, nine Cultivation Pills with four veins each, appeared in his jade bottle.
“Big Brother Qin, your alchemy skill is really amazing. Even the best Alchemist I have ever seen can’t refine a pill with four veins.”
“Not bad.”
Qin Haodong took out two Cultivation Pills and handed them to Zhao Xingyue. “These two are for you. Take them and see if you can break through your current realm.”
“Thank you, Big Brother Qin.”
Zhao Xingyue excitedly took the pills and swallowed them. Then, she sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Although it was not easy to break through the bottleneck from the Apotheosis Realm to the Voiding Realm, Zhao Xingyue had swallowed two pills at one go and each with four veins. The potency of the pills allowed her to break through the threshold in ten minutes and step into the early stage of the Voiding Realm.
“Big Brother Qin, your pill is great. I broke through so quickly,” Zhao Xingyue said excitedly.
“Take your time! Eat this.”
Qin Haodong took out one Voidbreaker Pill and gave it to Zhao Xingyue. He wanted to see if the little girl would be bolder after her cultivation had been upgraded.
Zhao Xingyue swallowed the Voidbreaker Pill again. Half an hour later, her cultivation reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm.
After she was done with the cultivating, she jumped up from the ground, hugged Qin Haodong’s arm, and said excitedly, “Big Brother Qin, you are really amazing. You let me break through twice in such a short time.”
Qin Haodong said, “How is it? Have you become bolder now? Do you dare to stay at home alone?”
Zhao Xingyue’s smile quickly disappeared. She said nervously, “Big Brother Qin, you’re not thinking of leaving me alone, are you?”
Qin Haodong sighed. It seemed that his efforts were in vain. This girl was talented and her cultivation was upgraded quickly, but she was still timid.
“That’s not what I mean. I just think that you can’t be so timid.”
Zhao Xingyue whispered, “It can’t be helped. That has nothing to do with the cultivation.”
Facing such a pitiful girl, Qin Haodong had no choice but to continue to refine pills.
After Qin Haodong and the others left the Alchemist Academy, Dong Zhenhai returned to his dormitory with Dong Zhenjiang and his men. These people were all badly bruised. They limped as they walked, looking very embarra.s.sed.
After treating his wounds, Dong Zhenhai said angrily to Dong Zhenjiang, “It’s all your fault. You always go out and flirt and then get me in trouble.”
“Now, not only were we beaten like dogs, but we also lost more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones. What do you think we should do?”
Dong Zhenjiang said with a miserable face, “Brother, you can’t blame me. I didn’t expect that guy to be so popular with women that he even hooked up with that iceberg, Fang Qiong’er.”
Dong Zhenhai still said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense. This matter started with you. We’ve lost more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones, which is a lot of money. How many tasks do we have to do to make so much money?”
“Not only that but we were also beaten so badly in public. It’s so humiliating! How can we stay in the academy later?”
Dong Zhenjiang said with embarra.s.sment, “Brother, in fact, I have a way to get back all our losses and teach that gigolo a lesson at the same time.”
Dong Zhenhai said angrily, “All your ideas are stupid. After listening to you twice, we’ve lost more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones. If I listen to you again, we’ll go bankrupt.”
“Brother, it’s really a good idea this time. Listen to me and you’ll know. We don’t need to do it ourselves this time.”
Dong Zhenhai glanced at Dong Zhenjiang and said doubtfully, “What’s the good idea then? Tell me.”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “Brother, have you forgotten Fang Qiong’er’s admirer? It’s He Kaishan.”
“As long as we tell him the news that the gigolo hooked up with Fang Qiong’er, I think he will take revenge for us. We don’t have to do it ourselves.”
Dong Zhenhai’s face changed and then his eyes lit up. “Yes, why didn’t I think of that?”
The ranking of the top ten masters that Zhang Dapeng was referring to was actually of the North Academy of the Tortoise Academy, which was where they lived.
He Kaishan ranked sixth among the top ten masters. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm, one level higher than Dong Zhenhai’s.
All this time, He Kaishan had fallen in love with Fang Qiong’er and had been trying to court her. However, Fang Qiong’er had never had a good impression of him. Therefore, He Kaishan had never succeeded.
Even so, He Kaishan still considered Fang Qiong’er as his girlfriend and forbade any man to approach her.
If he went to find He Kaishan now and told him this news, He Kaishan would definitely be willing to cooperate with him.
“You’ve finally come up with a decent idea this time, younger brother. Let’s go and have a look now.”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “Brother, we’d better deal with our injuries first. Or, it will be too embarra.s.sing to go out now.”
Dong Zhenhai also thought it made sense. There were so many ointments for external injuries in the hands of cultivators like themselves. Then, they applied them to each other to treat their wounds.
About two hours later, the swelling on their faces finally subsided.
“Let’s go find He Kaishan!”
Dong Zhenhai took Dong Zhenjiang to He Kaishan’s dormitory soon.
They were all senior students of the academy and ranked among the top ten masters at the academy. Thus, they were very familiar with each other.
Seeing Dong Zhenhai suddenly coming to visit, He Kaishan invited him into the house and asked, “Brother Dong, what can I do for you?”
“Brother He, I think you may have been cuckolded…”
Dong Zhenjiang was even better at stirring up trouble. He exaggerated the relations.h.i.+p between Qin Haodong and Fang Qiong’er and almost made it seem as if they were about to give birth.
He Kaishan’s face darkened and said, “That’s impossible. Fang Qiong’er has always been the aloof type. How could she get involved with a freshman?”
“Brother He, I’m telling the truth. You didn’t see the scene at that time. It was too disgusting. Fang Qiong’er hugged that guy surnamed Qin and called him brother. I even got gooseb.u.mps…”
Dong Zhenjiang spat and said, “I can’t stand it anymore. I wanted to teach that guy surnamed Qin a lesson with my men, but we were beaten by Fang Qiong’er and ended up being fined more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones by the Director of the academy.”
“Brother He, I don’t think I can keep this from you. I have to teach that guy a lesson.”
