Chapter 134 - I Am No Longer Ignorant
Chapter 134: I Am No Longer Ignorant
They chatted for a while, and when the class bell rang, Su Bai returned to his seat to read a book quietly.
“How do you feel?” Chen Rouxue turned to ask.
“I’m fine. There are no major changes in school.” He shrugged. “If it weren’t for it being unsustainable to go out these days, I wouldn’t have returned to school.”
In fact, he wanted to go to the Chinese Redbud Wilderness and see how the giant Insect King Flower was growing as well as what was going on in the depths of the insect ruins. Even if he did not look for treasures, he could still take a stroll and broaden his horizons.
However, there was no way for him to go there. To enter the monster wilderness, he would need to be authenticated by his real name and would likely be followed by others at that moment. Those people would not give up on an Ancestor Blood Dragon so readily.
The morning self-study was a pet breeding class. Hou Jie walked into the classroom and instructed everyone to read by themselves before walking to Su Bai’s desk.
“Are you alright? I heard that many members of the dragon families in the alliance had been to your house.”
Hou Jie asked with concern, having been shocked when she learned about it from her younger brother.
The blood dragon, which had turned the alliance upside down recently, was actually owned by her student. Furthermore, he had even made use of the blood dragon to wound Elder Tong’s pets severely. All these did not seem to be done by a high schooler.
The difficulty of his actions was even more impossible for those more discerning.
Because of the blood power on the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, and the Ancestor Blood Dragon in his hands, it was not difficult to guess what had happened. Thus, many people in the alliance now had their eyes on his pet.
They felt like the Ancestor Blood Dragon might be much stronger than they imagined.
After all, no one knew exactly what kind of changes the merge of the dragon attribute and the blood attribute would bring.
One thing was certain, though; it was definitely not weak.
“Teacher, don’t worry. My master has already resolved this matter.”
Su Bai nodded. In fact, as soon as this incident happened, Hou Jie had sent him a message saying that she could help, but his master had already resolved it by then.
“Oh, I see. If there’s anything in the future, feel free to tell me. Don’t worry; I’m very capable.”
Hou Jie laughed.
“Thank you, teacher,” he said, his words coming from the heart.
In the past, he had also heard others talk about the aristocratic families, but after interacting with them, he realized that they were talking about the minority, and the really strong were polite and low-key.
Hou Jie looked at Chen Rouxue and smiled. “That lipstick color looks very nice.”
After speaking, she returned to the podium. Chen Ruoxue’s face blushed and she glared at Su Bai.
The first two classes were about cultivation, which were generally coined as pets-running-away periods. For many pets, these two classes were simply torture. The energy medicinal cakes made by their Pet Tamers were too unpalatable.
Talent was needed for making energy medicinal cakes, but many lacked it, so the more untalented they were, the more confident they appeared.
The third and fourth classes were pet training. The teacher, Wang Wenyi, finished talking about some theories and said simply, “Next, everyone will continue their training one-on-one or confrontational training.
“It’s not far from the five schools’ entrance exam in October, so you guys have to work harder.”
“Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)”
Ah Bai, can I find other pets to play with?
Purple Jade looked up expectantly at him.
“You’re not allowed to hurt other pets.” Su Bai warned before letting the cub go.
He was no longer interested in fighting with his classmates, so he either exercised or read books.
In the whole grade, besides him and Chen Rouxue, only Guo Dong and Wang Er had two warlord pets.
As for Shi Lei, his Little Rock monster was still a high-level servant.
In this situation, if he wanted to fight an intense battle, he would have to either do so with a teacher or the whole class.
This was only when he released the cub.
Time flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of August. Because school was about to start in September, the school gave everyone a five-day vacation.
Early in the morning of August 28, Su Bai waited at the gate of the manor. The only one who followed him was the Mewling Fox, while the others were playing at home.
He had invited everyone to his house today.
The first person who came was naturally Chen Ruoxue. As soon as he opened the door, she drove her electric bike inside.
“You look very pretty today.”
He smiled and told his girlfriend when he saw her. Chen Ruoxue was wearing denim shorts and a cute white short sleeve today. Her shoes were colored white.
Although she was dressed casually, her appearance and temperament were indeed attractive.
In particular, the improvement of her pet’s strength had given her more power to feed on. The power of her Big Demon made her look very white, the kind that gave people a clear and cold feeling.
“Was I not beautiful before?” asked the girl with a smile.
“Of course, you were. You’ve always been the most beautiful in my heart.”
He pulled her hand and smiled. “Have you had breakfast yet? Are you hungry?”
“Of course I had. Haven’t you? Go and eat first if you haven’t; I’ll wait for the others,” replied Chen Rouxue.
“I already had porridge,” he said.
As they were talking, Jiang Yang, Yang Zhou, and Chen Tingting drove their electric scooters over.
“Oh, my God! Su Bai, your family is rich. Not only did your family build such a huge manor, you guys even bought a large-scale protective shield? It’s amazing! This shield must cost at least tens of millions, right?”
Yang Zhou parked his scooter and exclaimed.
“Exactly! This place feels majestic even just by looking at it from the outside. Today, I finally have the opportunity to go in and see what it looks like inside.”
Chen Tingting nodded and walked over to hold Chen Ruoxue’s hand. “Have you seen Su Bai’s potential long ago? You snatched him up so quickly.”
“Guess.” Chen Rouxue laughed.
“I thought I was rich when I became the master of ‘up’, but I’m just a nobody compared to you!” Jiang Yang also exclaimed.
“Okay, enough, you two,” Su Bai said exasperatedly. These two were deliberately rubbing it in.
“It’s true. The concentration of spiritual energy inside is a bit higher than outside. From a distance. It resembles a fairyland,” said Yang Zhou with a smile.
At this time, Chen Tingting pointed to the sky and said, “Look, Teacher Hou is here! She’s dressed so beautifully today, even more so than in school.”
“Who’s that beside her? Could it be her boyfriend? Oh, my God! No way,” Jiang Yang said in dismay.
“You’re a fool. That man looks so similar to our teacher; how could he be her boyfriend?” Yang Zhou slapped Jiang Yang, eyeing the latter disdainfully. “Even if our teacher is single, she won’t be interested in a sissy like you.”
“F*ck…”
Jiang Yang wanted to jump up and beat Yang Zhou to death. What did he mean by a sissy? Dressing up in women’s clothes was his hobby; he very much preferred being called a big beauty.
“That’s her brother, Hou Lan. He’s a genius cultivator and a big boss.”
Su Bai glanced at them and explained.
“Good morning, teacher!”
They immediately greeted when the two landed.
“Haha! We’re not in class; there’s no need to be so polite. You don’t even have to call me teacher here; just call me Sister Hou or sister.”
Smiling, she reached out to pat Hou Lan’s shoulder. “This is my young brother. He came to join in the fun.”
“Hello, everyone.” Hou Lan smiled.
After greeting one another, Hou Jie told Su Bai, “Where are your parents? It’s my first time here; I bought gifts for them.”
“There’s no need for gifts, Teacher Hou. It’s not like we’re strangers,” he said helplessly.
“Hurry up and bring me over; it’s my first time here, anyway, so it’s only normal to bring gifts.” Hou Jie glared at him. “Forget it. Rouxue, you must know where his parents are. Bring me there, let the others stroll around first.”
She thought about it and pulled the girl’s hand with a smile.
“Then I’ll bring you over, Sister Hou.” Chen Rouxue smiled.
“Call me sister again.” Hou Jie glanced at her.
“Sister.” Chen Rouxue blinked obediently.
“Oh, you have such a sweet mouth. You’re my sister from now on.” Hou Jie smiled and pulled on her hand.
“Yes, sister.”
…
As the two girls left hand in hand, Su Bai shook his head helplessly and turned to the others with a smile. “It just so happens that Brother Hou has a Big Ray. We can fly around on the Big Ray in the manor’s garden. After all, it is more than 1,000 acres and is too big to walk around.”
“Alright.” Nodding, Hou Lan released his Big Ray.
“I’m fine with it, too, but I suspect that you’re just showing off your wealth.” Yang Zhou spread his hands.
“Please remove your suspicions; he’s definitely showing off his wealth in front of us poor people,” Jiang Yang said.
“Thank goodness that I’m immune to it.” Chen Tingting shrugged and carefully stepped onto the Big Ray’s back.
“Yes, I’m showing off; what can you do about it?” Laughing, Su Bai got onto the Big Ray’s back as well.
“F*ck! I’ve never heard such a cheap request before. Jiang Yang, let’s charge and beat him up to death.”
Yang Zhou first pounced on Su Bai, followed closely by Jiang Yang.
A few moves later.
“Argh! I’m sorry, Big Brother Su… It hurts…” Jiang Yang begged for mercy.
“F*ck! You’re so strong. What happened to the previous weakling that we knew?”
Yang Zhou’s arm was countered and he was unable to retaliate. He could not understand it. Su Bai had obviously been a rookie when they fought just two months ago, but why was he so badly defeated in seconds now?
“Hehe! ‘A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes.’ I’m no longer an ignorant rookie,” replied Su Bai disdainfully. The backfeeding of his pets like the dragon and the cub were no joke.
After messing around, he took everyone for a stroll in the manor.
He asked Hou Lan about his experience in making spiritual fields.
“You’re lucky the spiritual energy in the space crack is sufficient. It won’t be a problem to plant these ordinary spiritual plants with the steady supply of spiritual power, but you still need to prepare spiritual soil if you want to plant some other spiritual plants. Many spiritual plants need more than just spiritual energy.”
The man commented.
“I know that, too, but only a bit is needed at a time. After all, it costs too much to build a special spiritual field. For now, I’ll use the abundant spiritual aura here to grow some ordinary spiritual plants to make some money.”
Su Bai spread his hands and explained.
“That’s true, and it won’t take long. After all, selling ordinary spiritual plants is quite profitable, especially for those whose expenditure depends on space cracks. Since you don’t need to buy spiritual crystals to increase the spiritual power input, it’ll be very easy to make money.”
Nodding, Hou Lan looked at the Construct Reservoir and asked in a low voice, “Is the senior fox still here?”
“Yes, it decided to live longer under my persuasion.” He smiled and nodded.
“Impressive.” Hou Lan stuck his thumb up in admiration. He could not comprehend how Su Bai had managed to convince that senior fox into staying here.
After all, it was a sovereign level Twelve-tailed Magic Fox with intelligence comparable to human beings.
“Is anyone living in that villa?”
Yang Zhou pointed to the White Tiger Mound and asked.
The doors to the villa were wide open.
“Yes, my younger brother lives there alone.” Su Bai nodded.
“I’m so jealous.” Jiang Yang groaned.
“Don’t harp on it; people can’t be generalized.” Chen Tingting joked with a smile.
“Hey, did you build this flowing-reverse filter?”
Hou Lan looked at the large pools and asked curiously.
“No, it’s built by my brother. He’s currently doing a bit of research on cultivation.”
Su Bai nodded.
Hou Lan was about to nod but suddenly realized that things were far from simple.
The planting of the spiritual plants on this mountain was also very particular about the level.
“No, this isn’t just a bit of research. Your brother is at least a junior trainer, isn’t he?
“These many spirit plants are planted in perfect harmony with one another’s attributes.
“For instance, those Three-day Chrysanthemum and the Devil Grass are two spiritual plants that can’t be planted together at all, but the white sand moss perfectly resolves this issue.
“It lets the two spiritual plants complement each other and grow better than planting them separately.
“There’s also a conflict between the Fruit of Tomorrow and the Flower of Last Night, but the inclusion of the Liverwort and the Moon Tree has completely transformed them.
“To reach such a level, he must have a good understanding of the spiritual plants’ attributes and must be familiar with this to achieve such a detailed arrangement. Was it really your brother who built this?”
Hou Lan spoke in admiration and asked in disbelief.
“Yes, he researched everything himself, but he doesn’t have a trainer certificate yet. He’s still preparing for the exam.”
Su Bai nodded. This was all done by his younger brother, who had at most borrowed some books and asked him about the specific attributes of certain spiritual plants.
“How old is your brother? I think that he’s more talented than I am.” Hou Lan let the Big Ray land on the ground, and he stepped off it to walk toward the villa.
“…Fourteen years old,” he replied.
“… Wow, he’s really better than I am!” said Hou Lan.
The other three listened to their conversations and were stunned. Was it not just building a few ponds and planting some spiritual plants? They could not see anything spectacular about it; was it really as godly as Hou Lan said?
“Did you see what mystery lies in it?” Yang Zhou looked at Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang shook his head. “No, not at all.”
