Chapter 879 - Talebearing (2/2)
Zhao Xingyue excitedly took the pills and swallowed them. Then, she sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Although it was not easy to break through the bottleneck from the Apotheosis Realm to the Voiding Realm, Zhao Xingyue had swallowed two pills at one go and each with four veins. The potency of the pills allowed her to break through the threshold in ten minutes and step into the early stage of the Voiding Realm.
“Big Brother Qin, your pill is great. I broke through so quickly,” Zhao Xingyue said excitedly.
“Take your time! Eat this.”
Qin Haodong took out one Voidbreaker Pill and gave it to Zhao Xingyue. He wanted to see if the little girl would be bolder after her cultivation had been upgraded.
Zhao Xingyue swallowed the Voidbreaker Pill again. Half an hour later, her cultivation reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm.
After she was done with the cultivating, she jumped up from the ground, hugged Qin Haodong’s arm, and said excitedly, “Big Brother Qin, you are really amazing. You let me break through twice in such a short time.”
Qin Haodong said, “How is it? Have you become bolder now? Do you dare to stay at home alone?”
Zhao Xingyue’s smile quickly disappeared. She said nervously, “Big Brother Qin, you’re not thinking of leaving me alone, are you?”
Qin Haodong sighed. It seemed that his efforts were in vain. This girl was talented and her cultivation was upgraded quickly, but she was still timid.
“That’s not what I mean. I just think that you can’t be so timid.”
Zhao Xingyue whispered, “It can’t be helped. That has nothing to do with the cultivation.”
Facing such a pitiful girl, Qin Haodong had no choice but to continue to refine pills.
After Qin Haodong and the others left the Alchemist Academy, Dong Zhenhai returned to his dormitory with Dong Zhenjiang and his men. These people were all badly bruised. They limped as they walked, looking very embarrassed.
After treating his wounds, Dong Zhenhai said angrily to Dong Zhenjiang, “It’s all your fault. You always go out and flirt and then get me in trouble.”
“Now, not only were we beaten like dogs, but we also lost more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones. What do you think we should do?”
Dong Zhenjiang said with a miserable face, “Brother, you can’t blame me. I didn’t expect that guy to be so popular with women that he even hooked up with that iceberg, Fang Qiong’er.”
Dong Zhenhai still said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense. This matter started with you. We’ve lost more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones, which is a lot of money. How many tasks do we have to do to make so much money?”
“Not only that but we were also beaten so badly in public. It’s so humiliating! How can we stay in the academy later?”
Dong Zhenjiang said with embarrassment, “Brother, in fact, I have a way to get back all our losses and teach that gigolo a lesson at the same time.”
Dong Zhenhai said angrily, “All your ideas are stupid. After listening to you twice, we’ve lost more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones. If I listen to you again, we’ll go bankrupt.”
“Brother, it’s really a good idea this time. Listen to me and you’ll know. We don’t need to do it ourselves this time.”
Dong Zhenhai glanced at Dong Zhenjiang and said doubtfully, “What’s the good idea then? Tell me.”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “Brother, have you forgotten Fang Qiong’er’s admirer? It’s He Kaishan.”
“As long as we tell him the news that the gigolo hooked up with Fang Qiong’er, I think he will take revenge for us. We don’t have to do it ourselves.”
Dong Zhenhai’s face changed and then his eyes lit up. “Yes, why didn’t I think of that?”
The ranking of the top ten masters that Zhang Dapeng was referring to was actually of the North Academy of the Tortoise Academy, which was where they lived.
He Kaishan ranked sixth among the top ten masters. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm, one level higher than Dong Zhenhai’s.
All this time, He Kaishan had fallen in love with Fang Qiong’er and had been trying to court her. However, Fang Qiong’er had never had a good impression of him. Therefore, He Kaishan had never succeeded.
Even so, He Kaishan still considered Fang Qiong’er as his girlfriend and forbade any man to approach her.
If he went to find He Kaishan now and told him this news, He Kaishan would definitely be willing to cooperate with him.
“You’ve finally come up with a decent idea this time, younger brother. Let’s go and have a look now.”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “Brother, we’d better deal with our injuries first. Or, it will be too embarrassing to go out now.”
Dong Zhenhai also thought it made sense. There were so many ointments for external injuries in the hands of cultivators like themselves. Then, they applied them to each other to treat their wounds.
About two hours later, the swelling on their faces finally subsided.
“Let’s go find He Kaishan!”
Dong Zhenhai took Dong Zhenjiang to He Kaishan’s dormitory soon.
They were all senior students of the academy and ranked among the top ten masters at the academy. Thus, they were very familiar with each other.
Seeing Dong Zhenhai suddenly coming to visit, He Kaishan invited him into the house and asked, “Brother Dong, what can I do for you?”
“Brother He, I think you may have been cuckolded…”
Dong Zhenjiang was even better at stirring up trouble. He exaggerated the relationship between Qin Haodong and Fang Qiong’er and almost made it seem as if they were about to give birth.
He Kaishan’s face darkened and said, “That’s impossible. Fang Qiong’er has always been the aloof type. How could she get involved with a freshman?”
“Brother He, I’m telling the truth. You didn’t see the scene at that time. It was too disgusting. Fang Qiong’er hugged that guy surnamed Qin and called him brother. I even got goosebumps…”
Dong Zhenjiang spat and said, “I can’t stand it anymore. I wanted to teach that guy surnamed Qin a lesson with my men, but we were beaten by Fang Qiong’er and ended up being fined more than 2,000 top-level Spirit Stones by the Director of the academy.”
“Brother He, I don’t think I can keep this from you. I have to teach that guy a lesson.”
