Chapter 1426: Chapter 614 Congratulations, Lin Baici, on becoming the youngest Dragon Wing in the Nine States!_2
Gu Qingxiang went to the kitchen to grab a bag of trash and another plastic bag containing so cat food and sausages, which were the als for a few stray cats.
Previously, when Lin Baici went to Luoyang Seven Towns, Gu Qingxiang, feeling bored at night, took a stroll and casually fed a few stray cats. Now, it had beco a habit.
“Take a shower and go to bed early. You’ve been skipping class too often lately!”
Gu Qingxiang noticed Lin Baici was about to accompany her and stopped him.
Lin Baici’s phone rang—it was Kim Myungjin calling.
“Alright then!”
Lin Baici picked up the video call and imdiately saw Kim Myungjin, dressed in a white professional outfit, fuming with anger.
“I told you not to disturb at this hour. Are you deaf?”
“But Minister Park said…”
The female secretary looked timid as she explained there was a docunt that required Kim Myungjin’s urgent attention.
“I don’t care who said it. If Park Chungyong keeps it up, let him get lost!”
Kim Myungjin cursed. Once the secretary left, she imdiately switched to a smiling face. “Oppa, how was your day?”
“Pretty good!”
Lin Baici noticed the Goryeo girl had worn herself out to the point of having dark circles under her eyes. “You need to take care of yourself. You don’t have to call every day!”
“But what if you forget about ?”
Kim Myungjin looked despondent.
The Da Xian Conglorate had an expansive empire, and honestly, Kim Myungjin had no interest in managing it. But her mom was incompetent, and if she were to leave it be, the Da Xian Conglorate would be dood.
Moreover, Kim Myungjin felt that relying solely on her looks and figure wouldn’t win Lin Baici’s heart. She had to succeed in her career to stand out among the won vying for him.
“…”
Lin Baici didn’t know what to say.
Seeing his expression, Kim Myungjin made up her mind. Once she finished the most urgent tasks, she would imdiately head to Haijing to see him.
The two chatted for a while longer before Kim Myungjin continued working late into the night.
anwhile, Lin Baici got ready for a bath. But just as he finished undressing, Xia Hongyao called.
“Little Linzi, my sister says we need to go to headquarters tomorrow. Be there at 9 sharp.”
“What’s the matter?”
On the screen, High Ponytail had just showered and was sitting cross-legged on a chair in shorts and a tank top, eating popsicles and playing gas.
Her long, white legs were quite striking, but Big Bear drew all the attention.
Even one second less of admiring her felt like a disrespect.
“It’s probably a good thing!”
Taking a bite of her popsicle, Xia Hongyao speculated, “Maybe it’s about so reward?”
“If it’s to promote you to Ascend Dragon, there’s no need to call along, right?”
Thunk!
A chunk of popsicle fell onto Big Bear. High Ponytail wiped it off with her finger and flicked it into the trash can beside her.
Originally planning to attend classes tomorrow, Lin Baici realized he’d probably end up skipping again.
“By the way, I heard from Small Fish that you bought a new house? When are you moving in?”
Before she finished, her teammates’ voices urging her to hurry up echoed from the speakers on her desk.
“I’ll get you a housewarming gift!”
High Ponytail was playing DOTA.
“Probably in half a month or so!”
The bed hadn’t arrived yet. “No need for gifts. You can all co over and gather then!”
“Yeah, our Seventh Star hasn’t had a dinner party yet!”
Since her teammates kept pushing her, Xia Hongyao casually tucked her phone into her chest and dove into the ga. “Do we invite Yi Jisheng and Long Miaomiao?”
Xia Hongyao wasn’t clueless. Those two weren’t close to Lin Baici, so he might not want them visiting. That’s why she asked first.
“Up to you!”
Looking at the glaring whites on the screen, Lin Baici felt his eye twitch. “You play your ga, I’m hanging up!”
High Ponytail really didn’t treat him as an outsider.
“Fine, I’ll pick you up at school tomorrow at 8 AM!”
High Ponytail didn’t hang up. As the ga started, she was too busy to spare her phone another thought.
Lin Baici was exasperated.
Xia Hongyao, can you take better care of your personal image?
Late at night, who could tolerate this kind of stimulation?
Lin Baici enjoyed a good night’s sleep at ho.
Early the next morning, he woke up at 7 AM. Gu Qingxiang had already prepared breakfast.
Oil sticks, tofu pudding, eggs, and a cup of hot milk with oats added.
“You don’t have to go all out. I’ll grab sothing outside!”
Lin Baici felt embarrassed.
“Alright!”
Although Gu Qingxiang agreed, Lin Baici knew there’d still be an elaborate breakfast tomorrow, and it would be different from today’s.
After eating, aware of appearances, he waited 10 minutes after Gu Qingxiang left the house before heading out.
Choosing not to drive, he strolled out of his apartnt complex, bought a pancake, two tea eggs, and a cup of millet porridge, before walking toward the school.
A little past eight, a GLS Benz sped towards him before screeching to a halt.
Creek!
Amid the sharp sound of tires skidding, the GLS left two black tire marks over 30 ters long, finally halting steadily in front of him.
“Little Linzi!”
Xia Hongyao rolled down the window. “Hop in!”
“Did you pull an all-nighter?”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Baici glanced at Xia Hongyao’s disheveled hair and clothes. “Here, breakfast for you!”
“Woo-woo, Little Linzi, you’re the best!”
High Ponytail leaned closer, blew him an air kiss, then took the pancake, chomping down two big bites. “Yesterday night was disastrous!”
Originally planning to win one ga before sleeping, Xia Hongyao instead suffered seven consecutive losses.
Who could endure that?
So she battled all night, and before noticing, it was morning. She didn’t even have ti to shower, just threw on clothes and rushed to Haijing Polytechnic.
“Eat slowly.”
Peeling a tea egg for her, Lin Baici understood her air kiss had no deeper aning—it was just a thank-you.
“My teammates are terrible! Playing gas feels more tiring than cleansing God’s ruins!”
Xia Hongyao complained.
A passing male student overheard her and wanted to say, “Hey beauty, add on WeChat. I’ll carry you.”
Who wouldn’t feel motivated teaming up with soone like her?
“Watch your words!”
Lin Baici cautioned, handing High Ponytail the tea egg. Talking about divine ruins in public wasn’t appropriate.
“Hehe!”
Xia Hongyao popped the egg into her mouth, then started the SUV.
She was running late.
By 9 o’clock, Xia Hongyao arrived at Taian Road No. 128. On the west side stood a seventy-plus-story comrcial building—the headquarters of Haijing Security Bureau.
High Ponytail parked the car, then she and Lin Baici entered the ground-floor lobby.
“Hongyao?”
The receptionist saw Xia Hongyao and called out, her gaze then falling on Lin Baici. “You’re God Lin, right?”
No doubt—so young and handso.
“I’m Lin Baici. Hello!”
He voluntarily extended his hand.
“Wow, I just shook hands with the Haijing god of the forest!”
The receptionist was visibly thrilled. “Can I take a photo with you?”
A bit embarrassed, he glanced at Xia Hongyao.
Unsure of her intention.
Maybe she wanted to ss with him?
“Just let her shoot it!”
Sumr Red dicine lightly patted his shoulder.
The receptionist stepped out from behind the counter, stood beside him, tilted her head toward his shoulder—and missed.
Darn!
Too short!
Couldn’t reach his shoulder!
The receptionist posed with a peace sign.
…
Inside the elevator, his smile quickly vanished. “Seriously, what’s going on?”
“You’re a celebrity now.”
She explained, “Securing Luoyang Seven Towns—do you understand the magnitude of this accomplishnt? Globally, among the God Hunter Circle, it’s a sensation!”
“On top of that, Headquarters plans to promote you to Nine Provinces Dragon Wing. If finalized, you’ll be the youngest Dragon Level of the Nine States!”
For confidentiality, his triumph over Busan Divine Ruins wasn’t publicized; otherwise, it would’ve caused an even greater stir.
And the secret about Wanda Plaza’s super arcade was known only to Xia Hongmian, as it involved a deity.
Revealing such matters would make him a hotspot for recruitnt from all major factions.
Ding!
The elevator arrived.
She and he stepped out, walking to her sister’s office door.
Knock knock!
High Ponytail knocked.
“Sis, we’re here!”
“Co in!”
They entered, finding Xia Hongmian seated at her desk, focused on docunts.
Slacks, white shirt, red tie—her aura carried an inexplicable intensity.
“Sis, what’s up?”
Sumr Red dicine grinned cheekily, trying to pry information: “Promoting Little Forest Boy?”
Ignoring her sibling, Xia Hongmian grabbed one docunt and handed it over: “Congrats, Lin Baici, assigned the youngest Dragon Wing in Nine States!”
