Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears Chapter 291: War Merit Medal, Qin Wudao’s Pride
The gazes of the thousand-plus people in the hall—SWOOSH—all focused on the gleaming dal on Qin Wudao’s chest!
For a mont, the entire Martial Arts Hall was plunged into a dead silence.
Then, like cold water hitting hot oil, the hall exploded with a tsunami of gasps and discussion!
"A Broken Army dal! It’s really a Broken Army One-Star dal!"
"My heavens! Senior Qin actually received such an honor! You have to kill at least one thousand mature aliens to earn that!"
"So... so terrifying! We’re talking about the Alien Race! Not so run-of-the-mill Demon Beasts! Forget about killing one, an ordinary person would probably be so scared their legs turn to jelly just from seeing their hideous faces, right?"
What is an Alien War dal?
Alien War dals are dals of honor issued by the Military Departnt, awarded for achievents in killing mbers of the Alien Race on the battlefield!
They are divided into four tiers: Broken Army (One to Five Stars), God of Slaughter, War God, and National Guardian.
And among them, although the Broken Army One-Star is the lowest-tier dal, one must still kill at least one thousand mature aliens to earn it.
One thousand!
Ninety-nine percent of the prodigies from Jing University present had never even killed a single mber of the Alien Race.
Although they had learned about the cruelty of the alien battlefields from textbooks and video footage, that was all through a screen. It was nowhere near as shocking as seeing a genuine battle dal with their own eyes!
That bronze-colored dal didn’t look like it was cast from tal, but rather forged from the bones and blood of a thousand aliens!
It represented not just honor, but dauntless courage, iron-willed strength, and a monuntal contribution to the Human Race!
What kind of brutal slaughter must Qin Wudao have endured to wear that dal? The crowd couldn’t even begin to imagine.
In that mont, all the attention previously focused on Su Yingxue and Gu Yuexi was stolen away by Qin Wudao.
Countless gazes quickly shifted from initial shock to fervent adoration and awe.
The female students, in particular, looked at Qin Wudao with eyes that sparkled, practically lting on the spot.
As for Qin Wudao, he was extrely proud of this dal.
He raised his chin slightly, a perfectly asured, arrogant smile playing on his lips as his calm gaze swept across the hall, taking in everyone’s reactions.
He was long accustod to scenes like this.
Ever since returning from the alien battlefield, this dal had been his greatest asset and source of pride.
Just then, the two main figures of today’s duel finally arrived.
Su Yingxue arrived first.
She, of course, noticed Qin Wudao and the dal on his chest. The honor, forged in blood, inspired a sense of longing and reverence even in her, the "Future Empress." She took the initiative to step forward and greeted him in a soft voice:
"Senior Qin, you’ve returned."
Su Yingxue’s voice was pleasant, carrying with it a perfectly calibrated hint of admiration.
She believed that with her beauty and fa, combined with her proactive gesture of goodwill, this Senior Qin, no matter how arrogant, would have to see her in a special light.
However, Qin Wudao only gave her a cool glance, uttered a soft "Mm," and looked away.
He wasn’t particularly impressed by this so-called Future Empress of Kyoto.
’In my opinion, a title like that is just child’s play. How could it compare to the tangible achievents I earned through real combat?’
The smile on Su Yingxue’s face stiffened slightly, and an ineffable sense of disappointnt and displeasure welled up inside her.
It was the first ti she had ever been given the cold shoulder by soone of the opposite sex.
Imdiately after, Gu Yuexi arrived.
She wore her usual cold and indifferent expression, walking straight toward the Martial Arts Arena as if the surrounding commotion had nothing to do with her.
When Qin Wudao saw her, his eyes instantly lit up.
He adjusted his collar and stood proudly in place.
’No woman,’ he believed, ’could resist the charm of my monuntal achievents in battle.’
’This woman, who has so much more character than Su Yingxue, will surely co over to express her admiration, just like everyone else.’
However...
Gu Yuexi walked right past him without so much as a sideways glance, as if he were nothing but air.
’Was I just... ignored?’
Qin Wudao’s body stiffened slightly, the expression on his face instantly freezing over.
’This woman... How dare she ignore ?’
He took the initiative to speak, his voice carrying a barely perceptible trace of arrogance:
"Gu Yuexi. After we parted in Spirit Martial Eternity, we finally et."
His voice wasn’t loud, but in the relatively quiet area, it was exceptionally clear, instantly drawing the attention of everyone nearby.
Everyone was shocked. Senior Qin was actually initiating a conversation with Gu Yuexi?
’He knows her?’
Gu Yuexi finally stopped walking, turning her head to give him an indifferent glance, a hint of confusion in her cool eyes.
"Who’re you?"
Two words.
They made all the remarks Qin Wudao had prepared catch in his throat.
His expression instantly soured.
’In front of all these people, this woman... she’s actually disrespecting like this?’
But he was, after all, the carefully grood heir of the Qin Family, and he had so asure of self-control.
He suppressed his displeasure, forced a smile back onto his face, and continued:
"No matter. We know each other now. Hello, I’m Qin Wudao. I’ve just returned from the alien battlefield."
He deliberately stressed the words "alien battlefield," puffing out his chest to make his Broken Army One-Star dal even more conspicuous.
’I refuse to believe she can remain indifferent after I’ve laid it on this thick!’
However...
"Not interested."
Gu Yuexi tossed out those two words and didn’t spare him another glance.
Chu Sheng, perched in Gu Yuexi’s cowlick, nearly burst out laughing at the scene.
’Who is this guy? From the looks of it, he’s trying to hit on my Empress? It’s been a while since I’ve seen soone so eager to dig their own grave. Interesting, very interesting!’
The hall was plunged into dead silence.
Everyone was stunned by Gu Yuexi’s utterly rciless attitude.
Uh...
This is so awkward...
’This... this Gu Yuexi, she’s so full of herself!’
’A first-year student, showing that kind of attitude to a heroic senior who just returned from the battlefield after rendering monuntal service to the Human Race?’
’Even if you’re talented enough to be called the "Future Empress," what right do you have to be so arrogant in front of Qin Wudao and his genuine Broken Army dal?!’
Su Yingxue, standing nearby, could no longer bear to watch.
Of course, what she felt more was a twisted mix of glee and jealousy.
’How is this fair?!’
’I took the initiative to be friendly, and Qin Wudao couldn’t care less.’
’But when he lowers himself to approach Gu Yuexi, she’s the one who can’t be bothered with him?’
The feeling was driving her mad!
Unable to hold back any longer, she stepped forward and shouted at Gu Yuexi’s back in a shrill voice:
"Gu Yuexi, who do you think you are?! Senior Qin is a hero who just returned from the alien battlefield! He’s a senior who has made trendous contributions to the Human Race and to our Great Xia!"
"Look at the battle dal on his chest! It’s a symbol of honor!"
"Who do you think you are, putting on such airs in front of him?!"
