429: Chapter 98 Everyone is Heartbroken_1 429: Chapter 98 Everyone is Heartbroken_1 A palace lantern bobbed up and down, drifting in the air.
A few wild fireflies looking for food thought they had encountered a delicious al.
They foolishly clung to the silk cover of the lantern.
Their sharp mouthparts pierced through the thin silk, and they pumped their bodies in vain, trying to suck on the dry air inside the lantern, or maybe a bit of evaporating wax.
A small teddy bear was hopping around on the smooth stone pavent, trying to climb up to the palace lantern not far overhead.
Just a few minutes ago, its owner was so shocked that she inadvertently let go of it, allowing its furry paws to co into close contact with the ground.
Now, it wanted to reclaim its peak status as a bear by its own efforts.
But it was really too short.
Even if it tried its best to curl its body into a ball, it still couldn’t bounce high enough.
Eventually, the teddy bear stopped hopping.
It raised its head, its ears drooping, and stared with its clear glass eyes, pitifully looking at its owner, hoping to get a little extra help.
However, unfortunately.
Both of its owners – the short little witch and the tall witch with long black hair – ignored the toy’s plea.
Their attention was now no longer on it.
The witches had more important matters to deal with.
“So, you’re saying, you were just looking after this bouquet for my cousin…and just happened to be seen by when you were returning the flowers?” Li ng squinted her eyes, her gaze very guarded as if she were guarding against a pervert.
She summarized Zheng Qing’s explanation in a dubious tone.
The young scholarships student nodded his head so vigorously that he almost broke his neck.
“I reserve my opinion on this.” The little witch pinched her chin, pretending to mull it over.
She said in a serious manner, “After all, you were once a deceiver…”
Zheng Qing was instantly at a loss for words.
Hence it is said that it is difficult to tolerate won and villains, especially little girls.
She could rember a minor misunderstanding from a long ti ago for her whole life!
Jiang Yu’s lip corners lifted slightly.
However, following Li ng’s next sentence, her expression also stiffened.
“…I’m going to write a letter ho, to my great-grandmother.” Li ng pounded her small fist into her hand, her eyes wide open and round, she stated in a definitive tone, “I’m going to tell her about this…
She’s been through it, she’ll definitely know if you’re lying!”
“ng ng!” Jiang Da Headmaster narrowed her eyes, laid her hands on the shoulder of the little witch, and threateningly rubbed her earlobe.
Li ng shrunk her neck, and finally pouted her mouth, picked up the teddy bear that was twirling around her leg, and began to tornt its fluffy ears.
“Do all you boys like participating in the hunt so much?” Jiang Yu turned her head to look at Zheng Qing, bit her lip and suddenly asked, “Why didn’t you ask Elena to be your hunting team manager?”
“Elena?
She said she had already agreed to join another hunting team.” Zheng Qing honestly recounted his earlier attempt to seek the Gypsy witch and being rejected.
He still felt very dejected, his tone was always very disappointed.
Only if one does not act, one will not die.
In the end, a mysterious sixth sense saved the young scholarship student who was running further and further down the path of death.
Zheng Qing seed to feel that the air was suddenly filled with a touch of chill.
He could not help but wrap his robe tightly around him, took out a “wind-proof charm” from the grey cloth bag, inserted it into the bouquet held by the witch, and laughed, “We’ve just left sumr, and it’s so cold…
I’m afraid we’ll freeze our noses off in winter.”
The wind-proof charm sizzled, sending a wisp of blue smoke.
An invisible barrier gently expanded out, enclosing the witch holding the bouquet.
“I want one too!
I want one too!” Li ng clamored, stomping her red little leather shoes on the side.
“Stop ssing around…
just hold your teddy bear.” Zheng Qing, a bit stingy about his talisman papers, brushed off the paw that the teddy bear had stretched out, comforting, “This bear looks very warm.”
“You’re the bear!
All your family are bears!!” The teddy bear glared with those glass beads, angered.
This small interlude regained Zheng Qing a bit of points.
When he raised his head again to look at Jiang Yu, the witch just pursed her lips and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ve been quite busy recently…
I may not have the ti to handle the hunting team’s matters.”
This was a polite rejection.
Zheng Qing could still tell that much.
So, he was once again taken aback — he had initially thought that this was a sure thing, since Jiang Yu had always left him with the impression of being very eager to help others.
“Ahem!” Li ng stood next to Jiang Yu, clearing her throat, wearing an expression that said ‘you need to invite too’.
Zheng Qing took a mont to assess her doll-like appearance, petite figure, and the teddy bear in her arms, then laughed dryly, pretended he hadn’t seen it, and fled from the scene.
…
…
“He really has no eye for talent!” Li ng glared at the retreating figure of the young scholarship owner, indignantly.
“Indeed,” Jiang Yu for once agreed with her younger cousin’s point of view.
“Roar!” the teddy bear hung around Li ng’s neck, gave out a growl, supporting his two masters’ opinion.
“You just now, did you an to… participate in the school hunting party?” Jiang Yu seed to finally rember sothing, bent down to look at Li ng.
A flash of panic imdiately crossed the young witch’s eyes.
“No, no…
Haha,” She laughed dryly, patted her teddy bear’s head forcefully and explained quickly: “I was just blaming him for not noticing how busy you were and for disturbing you…”
The plush bear pitifully raised its claw and held its head, enduring the little witch’s ruthlessness, trying to keep its glass eyes from rolling off its face.
Jiang Yu was not distracted by her antics.
She squatted down and fixed her gaze on the little witch, warning her, “You’re not allowed to join the school hunting party…in any form.
It’s not a child’s ga.
People can die…
if you don’t obey, I’ll have to apply to the school to send you ho.”
Li ng’s mouth was raised high, and she rolled her eyes, agreeing weakly.
Then she rembered sothing else.
“Shape-shifting is also dangerous magic, why would you want to try it?!” She was sowhat unconvinced, grumbling softly: “Plus, I saw you two holding hands just now…
I’m going to write a letter ho!”
“You, said, what?
” Jiang Yu smiled and put her hand on the little witch’s head and started to ss with her hair.
“Oh, don’t ss up my hair!” Li ng imdiately surrendered and begged for rcy.
…
…
After leaving the two witches, Zheng Qing went to the library again.
He went to find Liu Fei Fei.
She was the last candidate for the hunting team manager and the least likely candidate.
As Jiuyou Academy’s top student this year, Liu Fei Fei’s academic performance is unquestionable.
But she rarely participates in clubs or general activities, always reading quietly by herself in the library — of course, now she’s joined by Nicholas, who always reads with her.
As expected, Liu Fei Fei kindly refused Zheng Qing’s proposal.
The young scholarship student found that it was a mistake to ntion this in front of Nicholas.
This forr orientation leader didn’t support Zheng Qing’s talk but tried to persuade Liu Fei Fei to stay away from ‘barbaric and dangerous’ activities like ‘hunting demons’.
When Zheng Qing returned to the dormitory with this disappointing news, Xiao Xiao had another piece of bad news to pass on.
“The Judgent Hunting Team sent you a paper crane, the hunting team training is postponed until the weekend.” The scholar pulled out a paper crane from the drawer and tossed it to the scholarship student who had just entered the room.
“Why?!” Zheng Qing ruffled his hair, feeling tired.
“It’s said that the hunting grounds for the school hunting party have not been fully cleared…
the committee has arranged for the top-ranked school hunting teams to ‘divide and conquer’, to make sure all hazards in the hunting grounds are cleared by Thursday.”
Zheng Qing sighed, unzipped the crumpled paper crane in his hand and complained, “There’s not a single piece of good news…Next ti, can you not be so rough with these little paper cranes, they’re working hard too.”
“You should talk to that fat cat about this issue.” Dylan’s head suddenly popped out of his large coffin, startling Zheng Qing.
The vampire lord explained leisurely, “I don’t know when, but that fat cat started to enjoy playing with these little paper cranes…
Each one that tries to fly into our dorm gets harassed by it for quite a while.”
