Chapter 73 – Can That Woman Even Drive Fast?

In the end, An Zijin’s questioning came to nothing.

The young girl seemed well aware that she wouldn’t get any answers in this situation.

So instead of targeting Su Ming, An Zijin lowered her voice and said to Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei:

“I need to talk with you two afterward. Yes, something very important.”

Her ethereal voice combined with her expressionless face made Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei tremble with fear.

But Su Ming had already decided to stay out of it, no longer wanting to get involved.

Otherwise, nothing good would come of it.

Of course, Su Ming also had the idea of having a good talk with Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei afterward.

Why these two girls appeared in his room—if they didn’t explain this clearly, Su Ming wouldn’t let it go.

Although they hadn’t caused him any losses—in fact, one had suffered a head injury while the other had given him quite a view—Su Ming wouldn’t let them off because of that.

No choice.

“What if I happened to be doing something embarrassing?”

As a teenage boy, Su Ming had many private worries.

Plus, with so many cool and cute girls around him, even though he claimed that women would only hinder his development, that development referred to strength, not physical growth.

His body was developing normally, so naturally he had all sorts of youthful concerns.

Thinking of this, Su Ming decided he needed to check carefully whether his door was locked in the future.

He didn’t want to end up like Lei Hao beside him, who was currently gloating, able to… handle things anytime in the dorm, under the covers.

“Hmm?” Lei Hao seemed to notice Su Ming’s gaze and turned to look at him. “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Su Ming said seriously. “Just wanted to ask if you’ve been practicing your family’s traditional craft lately.Su Ming’s words attracted the attention of the three girls who were in a delicate situation.

“Family traditional craft?” An Zijin asked curiously. “What traditional craft?”

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei also silently turned their attention.

“Ahem!” Lei Hao choked, coughing violently a few times before stammering, “It’s nothing, nothing important. Don’t worry about it.”

“Right.” Su Ming agreed deeply. “Just some needlework, about an inch or two—not worth paying attention to.”

“Get lost!” Lei Hao exploded, roaring, “You’re the one doing needlework! You’re the one with an inch or two! If I weren’t afraid of making you feel inferior, I’d show you right now!”

“Heh.”Su Ming didn’t say anything more, just uttered this single syllable, instantly maxing out the mocking value.”

Lei Hao was so angry that if not for the three pairs of curious big eyes watching, he really would have proven himself on the spot.

But with An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu, and Yao Beibei staring at him, no matter how carefree Lei Hao usually was, he didn’t dare to offend their eyes.

Most importantly, if he actually did it, he probably wouldn’t survive.

At that point, being labeled a pervert would be the best outcome—the worst would be complete social death, with three cute juniors spreading rumors about him throughout the Academy.

That outcome… shudder…

Frustrated, Lei Hao could only grab a steamed bun and bite into it viciously, as if it were Su Ming, venting his life-and-death hatred.

Seeing Lei Hao’s reaction, Su Ming’s mood finally improved.

As the saying goes, human joys and sorrows don’t interconnect—when others are suffering, perhaps you don’t feel so bad yourself.

As for An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu, and Yao Beibei, watching the frustrated Lei Hao and the suddenly cheerful Su Ming, their three pairs of big eyes were filled with equally big confusion, leaving them to exchange bewildered glances.

This made Su Ming sigh.

“Juniors truly are juniors—this purity, I really hope it can be maintained forever.”If it were those senior sisters, they’d probably be driving at high speed by now, right?”

“Speaking of which, Xu Qianqian is also a third-year senior.””

For some reason, Su Ming suddenly thought of that vampire Young Miss.

“Can that woman drive fast?”

Su Ming actually found himself wondering about this.

With Xu Qianqian’s cold personality, she probably wouldn’t be like other senior students, driving fast all the time, right?

But as Su Ming thought this, what appeared in his mind was her licking her lips, biting him, and after drinking blood to satisfaction, her face flushed and incredibly enchanting.

This…

“Hiss”

Just as Su Ming couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his thigh.

“Hmph! (▼へ▼メ)

An Zijin snorted coldly beside him, her small hand having somehow found its way to Su Ming’s thigh, pinching a piece of flesh and twisting it 360 degrees.

“It’s coming off! The flesh is coming off!”

Su Ming was in so much pain tears nearly came out.

But An Zijin showed no mercy whatsoever.

“What were you thinking about, Brother Su Ming?”” An Zijin puffed her cheeks. “I feel like you were thinking about something that would make me very unhappy.”

This… could this be the legendary secret technique—【Woman’s Intuition】?

I’m done for…

After Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei, Su Ming also found himself trembling because of An Zijin.

Fortunately, the next second, someone came to his rescue.

“I’m back!”

Ye Bai burst through the door, looking completely exhausted. He rushed into the restaurant and started devouring food, stuffing himself with two deep-fried dough sticks and a bread roll, like an orphan who’d been wandering outside for ages.

“Senior Ye Bai?””

An Zijin and the other two were startled by Ye Bai.

“What happened to you?” Lei Hao asked curiously. “You just went to wait for some missions—why are you so exhausted?”

Hearing this, Ye Bai didn’t hesitate before lashing out.

“Just wait for some missions? Why don’t you try it yourself?”

Ye Bai was going crazy, angrily shouting in a very abnormal state.

“You didn’t see those maniacs! Every single one of them had the same idea, squatting in the Mission Hall early in the morning. When missions were posted, those guys were like a bunch of market aunties, desperately crowding toward the bulletin board and service counters. I was almost crushed into meat paste! Damn it, if I find out who was secretly rubbing against my back and grabbing my butt back there, I’ll definitely show them why flowers are so red!It was clear Ye Bai had truly collapsed, not even caring about his image in front of goddess An Zijin. His somewhat hysterical appearance left the girls stunned.

“Good grief.”

Even Lei Hao was dumbfounded.

Su Ming tried to put himself in that situation for a moment, and the mere thought made him shudder, not daring to imagine further.

So waiting for missions is also a skilled job? One that might cost you your dignity?

Hmm, I absolutely can’t lose at rock-paper-scissors from now on.

Su Ming silently made another resolution.

Fortunately, the results Ye Bai obtained after making such a huge contribution were quite satisfactory.

He truly lived up to expectations by securing some good missions—the kind that could be completed quickly without much effort, but because they were time-sensitive and needed immediate attention, offered substantial contribution points as rewards.

There were five missions in total, which was also the maximum number of missions the Academy allowed to be accepted simultaneously.

If all five missions were completed, they would yield nearly 60,000 contribution points in total.

In other words, after this batch, all six members of Su Ming’s team could receive nearly 10,000 contribution points each.

Combined with the contribution points obtained yesterday, after today, all six team members would have over 10,000 contribution points, meeting the Academy’s requirement and avoiding any risk of being dismissed.

If Su Ming and the others were fast enough, after completing these five missions, they might even return to accept one or two more.

This way, everyone could earn a considerable amount of contribution points, which could then be exchanged for rewards—definitely good items.

Today was also the last day they could leisurely earn contribution points like this.

Starting tomorrow, once the Spirit Demon Abyss entrance opened, everyone would have to participate in the campaign. Under the Base City’s arrangements, they would be assigned to different Phantom Demon extermination missions, forming various battle lines.

At that time, depending on the targets of the expedition and individual contributions, students could receive varying amounts of contribution points as rewards.

However, unlike now, it wouldn’t be safe to complete missions then.

That’s why on this final day, Demon Hunter Academy students were acting like it was a carnival, desperately accepting missions.

If they could earn enough contribution points today, then even when tomorrow’s campaign arrived, they wouldn’t need to risk their lives to hunt Phantom Demons.

Therefore, today was destined to be another tumultuous day.

“By the way.”

After explaining the mission details, Ye Bai seemed to remember something and added:

“The staff at the Mission Hall also announced today that the Base City is searching for a special Phantom Demon. If anyone spots it, they must report it immediately, and the informant will receive 100,000 contribution points as a reward.”

Saying this, Ye Bai described the characteristics of this “special Phantom Demon.”

“A Phantom Demon completely covered in water mist, its full appearance unclear, that doesn’t attack people upon sight but immediately flees?”

Everyone froze upon hearing Ye Bai’s description.

“What kind of Phantom Demon is that?”

“Is there such a Phantom Demon?”

“I’ve never seen one, never even heard of such a Phantom Demon existing.”

“So that’s why the Base City says it’s a special Phantom Demon?”

Lei Hao, An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu, and Yao Beibei began discussing.

“I don’t get it either. They didn’t explain, but the reward is indeed rich. Even teams formed by top students seem tempted—probably some will deliberately search for it next?”

Ye Bai appeared completely detached, adopting a “not my problem” attitude.

Unable to make sense of it, everyone discussed for a while before dropping the subject.

Only Su Ming listened silently nearby, his eyes profound, a faint cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

“Go ahead and search.”

Su Ming wanted to see what other tricks these persistent Base City higher-ups could possibly play.
