An Yiqing shook her head speechlessly. Who’s really being tad by whom here? This morning, she heard her own old man complain on the phone that An Zhihang got up early and personally went into the kitchen to make a heartfelt breakfast for Gu Tingting, then floated away with a joyful face.
Listening to this, An Yiqing couldn’t help but sigh. A man in love has limitless potential! Although her family isn’t overly spoiled, her brother was raised in a honey jar. Forget cooking, even household chores were handled by a maid. When would it ever be his turn?
Did her brother learn to wash his hands to make soup for his beloved woman from Ah Lin?
An Yiqing sighed silently, "You can’t keep a grown man at ho," and went with them.
"By the way, why are you alone? Where’s Haozi?"
"He’s in the stands. He did want to co, but Bali and Eddie are watching closely. It took a lot of persuasion just to let him co watch the competition." Ruan Xue ntioned this, and her eyebrows twitched. Ever since Xia Hao inherited the energy of the Purple-Gold Blood Emperor, Bali and Eddie, the two vampires, have been following him around like they’ve found treasure. No matter where Xia Hao goes, they’re right behind him. Even when Xia Hao goes to the bathroom, they almost want to guard the door.
Lately, aside from going to school regularly, Xia Hao has spent all his ti cultivating. However, he’s made so progress; the energy of the Purple Gold Origin Blood has completely stabilized. There won’t be any more instances of him crashing into walls while flapping his wings uncontrollably.
"What about you? How’s your control?" An Yiqing asked.
"? I didn’t inherit the Purple Gold Origin Blood. I’m just here for the soy sauce." Ruan Xue pouted, sighed under An Yiqing’s teasing gaze, "I don’t know why, even though I’ve been cultivating with Little Fatty, I can’t even manifest wings. Bali and Eddie say I’m the second beneficiary of the Purple Gold Origin Blood, so I should have a higher aptitude than other vampires. But so far, forget wings, I haven’t even sprouted any feathers!"
Ruan Xue looked dejected. She’s worked hard, but she’s hit a plateau. It’s okay for a short ti, but if this goes on, the gap between her and Xia Hao will widen, and she might eventually beco a burden to him.
An Yiqing knows Ruan Xue’s temperant. She sighs again, comfortingly ruffles Ruan Xue’s hair, "After the competition, I’ll check your body thoroughly to see if we can pinpoint the problem. Don’t get discouraged. Even if you can’t sprout wings, I’ve got plenty of ways to make you stronger. Don’t worry, co on, give a smile."
Ruan Xue blinked, stared at An Yiqing for a while, and suddenly realized. Oh, right! How could she forget Xiao Qing is a Divine Doctor! She could transform ordinary people into Ancient Martial Artists, so what’s the big deal about a small vampire who’s just wingless?
If it cos to it, she can just beco a vampire who cultivates Ancient Martial Arts!
With this thought, Ruan Xue’s years of nagging worries suddenly cleared, and she felt relaxed. She flashed a big smile, pulled An Yiqing in for a big kiss.
Then...
A gust of cold air hit. A black-faced Master Gu descended from the sky, grabbed Ruan Xue by her collar, and tossed her to the trailing Xia Hao.
"Keep an eye on your woman!"
Xia Hao quickly caught Ruan Xue, looked up to see Gu Yelin dark-faced, pulling An Yiqing away...
"Such a stingy ghost! I’m a girl. What’s wrong with a kiss?" Ruan Xue grumbled, glaring at Gu Yelin’s back. She only dared to say this behind his back, as in front of him, she’d be too scared.
Xia Hao’s mouth twitched, looked silently at the paper tiger-like Ruan Xue, "Let’s go back, the competition’s about to start. Be careful not to wander off and get lost."
With that, he took her little hand and led the reluctant Ruan Xue to the guest seats.
At this mont, the door to the adjacent competition channel opened, and a group of contestants walked in.
Xia Hao glanced at them without paying attention, passed by them with Ruan Xue, and entered the guest seats.
The last man of the group who passed Xia Hao suddenly stopped, frowned towards the direction Xia Hao left, his eyes flickering.
"Captain, what’s up?" A man with short flax-colored hair walked over, looking puzzled at the man addressed as captain.
"Nothing, let’s go." The captain watched Xia Hao’s back in silence for a mont, then turned away.
The flax-colored short-haired man blinked in confusion, looked towards where his captain had just been staring. He scanned the guest seats, and when he saw Xia Hao, his pupils shrank considerably!
His expression changed dramatically, and he turned to chase after the man he had addressed earlier.
These things, Xia Hao and Ruan Xue don’t know, nor does An Yiqing. None of them expected that among the twenty-three competing teams, many hidden talents are present, including so whom they never imagined.
Nine o’clock, ti’s up, the competition begins!
