Chapter 148: Did Not Do Well, Did Not Perform Well
“Of course, the written test can’t stump us,” Li Xing said proudly.
“Impressive.”
Nodding, Su Bai sat on the steps to play with his mobile phone.
“Is it so fun to play with your phone? More so than talking with us?” Li Xing was a little angry.
“Exactly! You were too ruthless during the five schools’ entrance examination last time. Do you not have anything to say about that?” Li Hai was also quite dissatisfied.
“What do you want? It’s just a normal competition; isn’t it normal to win or lose?”
Su Bai glanced up at them.
“You have no way of making a girlfriend like this,” said Li Xing with her hands on her hips.
“But I already have a girlfriend.” He shrugged.
“You…”
Li Xing’s chest violently fluctuated at his words, and she finally stopped talking out of anger.
Li Hai shook her head and asked softly, “Zhao Li and the others said that they are gathering after the examination today. Are you coming?”
“Not likely, but I will ask Ruoxue first before deciding,” he said.
“Why are you so afraid of your girlfriend even before marriage?” Li Hai felt exasperated.
“It is not fear; I am just respecting her opinion. This kind of matter does not concern me,” replied Su Bai calmly.
Both twins glanced at the boy disdainfully, feeling curious on what kind of love spell Chen Ruoxue had put on him to make him so desperately in love.
In terms of beauty, although she was indeed pretty, it was not to the point of devastating. In fact, they were not much different from her.
Ten minutes before the end of the examination, Chen Tingting, Chen Ruoxue, and the rest came out.
Chen Ruoxue walked over and naturally took Su Bai’s hand before greeting the twin sisters. She smiled at her boyfriend and asked, “How many points do you think you will get?”
“I am not sure, as long as I pass,” Su Bai said.
“I don’t feel confident about passing with over 500 points.” Chen Tingting sighed.
“Tingting, you are too modest. It will be fine; it is just the written test.” Chen Rouxue smiled.
“Su Bai, Sister Ruoxue, let’s go have a meal to celebrate,” suggested Zhao Li with a smile.
“Senior Ruoxue, we recently discovered a very nice place; do you want to come play together?” Wang Li also asked.
“Whatever my boyfriend says.” Chen Ruoxue nodded.
“Then let’s all go together.” Before Su Bai could say anything, Zhao Li ran over and swung his arm around his shoulders. Meanwhile, Wang Li grabbed hold of the two Chens.
“Let’s go.”
Su Bai was completely helpless. Zhao Li had already invited them, so it was a little unreasonable not to go, and they were indeed free in the afternoon.
Zhao Li and the others dragged them to a hotel for a meal and then to a KTV.
“Do you want to sing?” Li Xing handed the microphone to Su Bai.
“No, I will just eat something.” He shook his head, disinterested in the KTV.
“You three are really such party poopers.” The girl spoke in dissatisfaction before singing by herself.
“Why didn’t you go? Are you afraid that I will get jealous?” Chen Ruoxue giggled. “Rest assured that I won’t be angry.”
“No, it’s not like you don’t know how tone-deaf I am.” Su Bai rolled his eyes.
Chen Ruoxue giggled and turned to drink juice.
After a while, two waiters brought a few drinks in and introduced, “This orange fruit juice is on the house.”
“Thank you!”
Su Bai took a sip.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A warlord Blood-tailed Poisonous Scorpion suddenly flew out of the waiter’s cuff, and a terrifying poisonous needle pierced Su Bai’s neck.
At the same time, the cub appeared next to Su Bai and shot a series of energy bullets at the Blood-tailed Poisonous Scorpion, directly blasting it into powder.
“How could it be? You obviously drank the fruit…”
However, before the waiter finished speaking, a sharp sword pierced his heart.
It was the waiter beside him who killed him. His shadow suddenly expanded and disappeared in a flash.
“Xiao Bai, chase him!”
Chen Ruoxue quickly released Big Demon.
“Hehehe!”
“No, don’t chase. It’s the shadow monster; we won’t be able to catch up. Let’s directly call the police. Those two came prepared. There are hallucinogenic drugs in this juice. They wanted to take advantage of my hallucination while I couldn’t release my pet to kill me.”
Su Bai stopped his girlfriend with a shake of his head. Fortunately, he was not afraid of such hallucinogenic potions, or else he would be seriously injured today.
“What happened?” Zhao Li and the rest were stunned. It had all been fine just a second ago; how could things change so suddenly?
“I don’t know. They seem to have come to assassinate me.” He glanced at them and shrugged.
Su Bai was quite unsure of who was behind this, but there was no doubt that it had most likely come for the Little Blood Dragon.
Soon, the KTV manager and the police arrived.
“That person isn’t our waiter; we don’t know them,” the manager said.
“We will have to trouble you to come down to the station with us,” said the police officer handling the scene.
It was not until the evening that they came out of the police station.
The police could not find out anything and could only issue a wanted order for the guy who had escaped.
“I’m sorry, I did not expect to encounter such an incident when I invited you out to play.” Zhao Li apologized to Su Bai.
“It’s not your fault; someone is targeting me.” He shook his head again. “We’ll leave now; be careful.”
“Okay, goodbye.”
After parting ways with the others, Su Bai rode on the cub and sent the girls home.
After sending Chen Tingting home, he turned to Chen Ruoxue. “Let’s go; I will send you home, too.”
“No, I want to play at your place today. I can just tell my dad that I am playing at my classmate’s house.”
Chen Ruoxue hugged his waist from behind and said.
“Are you sure it’s alright if you don’t go home? Don’t worry about me; Baiyue Manor is very safe. With the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, no problem will arise.” He held her hand reassuringly.
“Don’t worry; it’ll be fine.”
Chen Ruoxue smiled and leaned on his back.
“Okay, good.” Su Bai nodded. The cold of the early winter disappeared with Chen Ruoxue’s warmth.
“Howl!”
The cub howled and cat-walked toward the manor.
“Who do you think was behind that attack?” whispered Chen Ruoxue, scared half to death by the incident today.
“I don’t know; they should be after my pet dragon. I thought that this matter should’ve come to an end after a long time, but it seems that some people are still harboring intentions.” Su Bai exhaled.
“Howl!”
Ah Bai, do not be afraid; I will protect you!
The cub stretched its tail and patted him.
“Haha! Thank you, Jade. You’re the best.”
Smiling, he caressed the cub’s head, especially the part behind its ears as they felt soft and excellent to the touch.
In response, it rubbed its head against his hand.
“Let’s be more careful in the future; they will not dare to attack once we get stronger.” Chen Ruoxue also exhaled.
“Forget about it. Actually, do you know that since a long time ago, I’ve fantasized about riding a bike with a girl, with her whispering to me and hugging me like this in winter?”
Su Bai turned his head and grinned.
“Then you’ve had your eyes on me since a long time ago?” Chen Ruoxue glanced at her boyfriend coquettishly and wrapped her arms around him tighter.
“Hehe! You can guess.” He chuckled.
“Hmph! It must be. I often noticed you looking at me dazedly in class before.” Chen Ruoxue poked his cheek and exposed him.
“You are right; I have been eyeing you since a long time ago!” He chuckled.
“Ew, disgusting…”
The two quickly reached Baiyue Manor as they chatted. Su Bai opened the door to see his parents.
“Son, you are finally back. Are you okay?” asked his parents, full of concern. The police station had naturally notified them of his incident.
Chen Ruoxue did not expect that her boyfriend’s parents would be here, and her pretty face suddenly blushed fiercely. She quickly loosened her hand around Su Bai.
“I’m alright; don’t worry. This is Ruoxue.” He introduced her.
“Hello, uncle, auntie.” She greeted both adults obediently, her cheeks still flushed.
“Haha! Hello, lass. Have you eaten yet?” asked Mother Su kindly.
“Yes, we did. We will head to Azure Dragon Mound first; you should both rest early.” Su Bai rubbed his nose. It indeed felt awkward bringing his girlfriend over, only to meet his parents, so he made the cub speed up.
“Haha! Go ahead and play. Remember to use protection!” His father waved.
“What are you talking about? They are still young…” Mother Su punched her husband.
Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue: “…”
They awkwardly returned to Azure Dragon Mound as quickly as possible.
In the villa, they released their pets for dinner.
While they ate happily, Su Bai glanced at Chen Ruoxue. “Do you want to eat? I can cook for you.”
“No, I am not hungry. I want to go to bed after playing for a while.” The girl shook her head.
“Howl!”
Then let’s play PUBG; I will carry you!
The cub raised its head and suggested with a happy grin.
“Alright. I know how to play it, too.” Chen Ruoxue smiled.
The cub gobbled up its meal in a few bites and took out its customized tablet to play the game with both humans.
The two, who were completely noobs, would lie on the ground whenever they heard the gunshots. The cub operated fancily by itself and led them to an easy victory.
“This is so boring; let’s play another game. We two have no experience in such games,” proposed Su Bai.
They played another game for a while, changing from playing happily to cursing loudly, before finally deleting the game.
“Why should we play games? Is it not fun to caress you?” asked Su Bai and caressed the cub’s soft fur.
“Let’s go to bed; it’s already 11 o’clock,” said Chen Ruoxue while hugging the Thousand-face Fox, Qiu Qiu.
“Do you still have the pajamas I left here last time? Did you dirty it?” Chen Ruoxue asked.
“Everything’s there; I’ll get them for you.” He walked over and took clothes out from the closet.
Chen Ruoxue sniffed it and nodded. “Okay, I will go and take a bath.”
“Would you like me to accompany you?” Su Bai chuckled mischievously.
“Dream on!”
Chen Ruoxue rolled her eyes and stepped into the bathroom.
Su Bai shook his head and went to shower in another bathroom.
He washed quickly and spent a while playing with his phone before Chen Ruoxue came out in pajamas.
“It’s time to sleep; stop playing with your phone.” Chen Ruoxue snuggled into the blanket.
“How could my phone be more fun than my girlfriend?”
Su Bai put aside his phone and went over to hug the girl’s slender waist.
“Be good and sleep; I really like it now.” Chen Ruoxue glanced at him and cooed softly.
…
The next morning came in the blink of an eye. Su Bai woke up early, but instead of putting on his clothes, he put his hand on his chin and watched Chen Ruoxue get dressed.
“Can you stop looking?” The girl glared at him and gritted her teeth.
“It’s not as if I have never seen it before. Get dressed quickly.” He smirked mischievously.
She grabbed a quilt angrily and threw it onto his head.
When he took off the quilt, she had already put on her black one-piece stockings.
“What a pity!”
Su Bai shook his head and started putting on his clothes. He really wanted to see Chen Ruoxue wearing her silk stockings, to see how she put the black stockings on her slender, snow-white, jade legs. Unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted.
“Lazy pig, remember to fold the quilt. I want to wash my face and brush my teeth first.”
Chen Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him and went to wash up first.
After washing up, Su Bai fed the pets as usual. While they were eating, a three-colored spiritual vortex burst forth, and the Little Tyrant raised its claws to look at itself happily. It had been promoted to a high-level warlord.
“Hehe?”
Big Demon was stunned, the energy ointment in its hand suddenly not fragrant.
You got promoted just like this? D’you know how much effort it took me to get promoted?
It felt so depressed it no longer wanted to be friends.
“It was promoted just like that?” Chen Ruoxue looked also somewhat dazed.
“Sigh. It’s not that surprising!” Su Bai shrugged, already used to it.
The Little Tyrant’s promotion was certain, and he looked forward to its evolution more. The Purgatory Fire Thief was its third evolution type, which he looked forward to very much.
“Roar!”
It is just basic exercise; the point is to eat more.
The dino patted Big Demon.
Alas, Big Demon felt even more depressed.
It really could not be friends with the dino anymore.
After breakfast, Su Bai sent Chen Ruoxue home.
Soon, it was December 12, and the results of the written test came out. Su Bai took a look at his score; out of 750, he had scored 728 points.
He sent a message to ask Chen Tingting and Chen Ruoxue about their results.
Chen Ruoxue: I passed with 700 points! D*mn it; I scored lower than you.
Chen Tingting: You are both so strong; I only scored 623 points.
It was not surprising that everyone had passed. Although the exam tested extensive knowledge, it was all basic knowledge, which posed no problem provided that they had carefully read the reviewers.
After all, Pet Tamers had their pets’ backfeeding and were not entirely stupid.
He opened the groupchat to check Zhao Li and the others’ scores.
Li Xing: 653
Li Hai: 672
Zhao Li: 685
Wang Li: 601
The water-fire duo did not say anything.
Zhao Li: Well, I guess I’ve achieved my goal this time.
Li Xing: My result is not ideal; it is lower than my sister’s.
Li Hai: No worries. At least, we passed.
Wang Li: I am the upset one; I actually scored only 600+. Crying.jpg.
Zhao Li: There, there. Don’t cry.
Li Xing: @Su Bai @Chen Ruoxue, how much did you guys score? Tell us!
Chen Ruoxue: I only scored 700, lower than Su Bai’s. Angry.jpg.
Su Bai: I did not score well, either, only 728 points. I thought I could get a perfect score in the test.
Everyone: “…”
The group was cold for a moment. Check this out; were these two guys talking human words?
They wanted to flip the table!
Zhao Li really wanted to kick this couple.
D*mn it. Was a score of 700 not good enough? Then did those who scored only 600+ points need to apologize and commit suicide?
The water-fire duo and Wang Tao silently read the messages and turned off their phones. They had done pretty well in the test but were now dazed after seeing Su Bai’s score. They were no longer in the mood to celebrate.
Compared to the couple, they were not worth a mention.
Rubbing his nose and feeling satisfied, Su Bai sent another message with a smile: Yes, I must strive to obtain a full score in the practical test.
He had scored 728 points based entirely on his strength and hard work over the past few months.
