After Chen Miaomiao left the dormitory, she hurriedly entered a secluded grove, anxiously waiting for Chen Tong.
Half an hour later, Chen Tong arrived reluctantly and impatiently said, "What can't be said over the Light Brain? Why meet face to face?"
"I'm scared..." Chen Miaomiao threw herself at Chen Tong, holding him tightly, her voice trembling, "Qian Qi didn't die, and I always feel she's discovered something. What should I do, Senior?"
Upon hearing the name Qian Qi, a cold glint flashed in Chen Tong's eyes, and his expression became very unpleasant.
Last year, when the freshmen just entered school, he merely mocked poor Qian Qi, but he ended up being beaten twice by her and became the laughingstock of the Magic Beast Department.
He always thought about revenge and started meticulously planning upon hearing that Li Shuyun had cultivated a Fire Qilin Fruit. He first bought a black account to add Qian Qi as a friend, hinting that he urgently needed the Fire Qilin Fruit and lured Qian Qi with a price ten thousand higher than the market price.
At the same time, he bribed Chen Miaomiao to watch Qian Qi, designing for Qian Qi to die from the Fire Qilin Lotus.
Magic Plant Department students dying from Magic Plants are not few, her reputation is so tainted, and her behavior not clean, no one would suspect a murder plot, only think she died due to greed.
"Don't worry, she won't notice, I'll think of another way," Chen Tong casually patted Chen Miaomiao's back, "You should go back first, talk over Light Brain, meeting in school is too risky."
If his girlfriend found out he secretly met a female student, who knows what troubles it would cause, making him a laughingstock again.
Chen Miaomiao nodded and suddenly became shy, "Senior, we haven't... done that for a long time, right."
She initially never expected she'd connect with Chen Tong, hearing Chen Tong's family was quite wealthy, if she could marry Chen Tong, she'd never worry about money again in her latter life.
She had to seize the opportunity, make Chen Tong break up with his girlfriend soon.
Chen Tong glanced at Chen Miaomiao's full figure, squinted slightly, finally said, "Weekend, see you at the usual place."

Li Shuyun acted quickly and procured a Fire Qilin Lotus seed that afternoon.
She dared not contact Qian Qi, so she inquired Liang Yuting's Light Brain number from the same dormitory, offering a 20 yuan errand fee for Liang Yuting to deliver the seed to Qian Qi.
The first thing Qian Qi did upon receiving the seed was use the "Decoding Technique".
[Name: Fire Qilin Lotus Seed

The system panel introduced extensive content about the Fire Qilin Lotus, clicking into [Fire Qilin Lotus] allows seeing the Fire Qilin Lotus's weaknesses, attack methods, functions of different parts, and likewise clicking into [Black Poison Spots] provides prevention methods, it can be said to be very comprehensive.
"Bloody Demon Beast Meat?" Qian Qi flipped through the original textbooks on the bookshelf, finding the planting method for Fire Qilin Lotus didn't include Demon Beast bloody meat.
Upon analysis and comparison, Qian Qi noticed the textbook's planting method used many chemicals, which for the Fire Qilin Lotus that needs to absorb surrounding Fire Elemental Power is like a child growing only on supplements, hard to survive.
"Looks like I need to get Demon Beast's meat first."
Qian Qi rubbed her chin, troubled again.
Where is she supposed to find Demon Beast's bloody meat? It can't be that she has to kill one in an instance?
Her, a delicate little lady.
While mulling over this, her gaze slowly fell upon the branded coat dripping water on the balcony.
15 minutes later.
Qian Qi, carrying the damp coat, stood at the entrance of the Magic Beast Department boys' dormitory.
"Classmate..." She tried to stop a boy but as soon as he saw her, he fled in fright.
Furthermore, students nearby who noticed her all kept a distance, some even turned back indoors directly upon seeing her.
Qian Qi: ...
Sneaking a glance at the elderly dorm manager sunbathing at the entrance, Qian Qi smoothed her coarse short hair and boldly stepped into the boys' dormitory in flip-flops.
The elderly dorm manager merely glanced at Qian Qi's entry, then indifferently looked away.
Qian Qi: ...
Damn! Why is she clearly infiltrating yet not happy about it?
Meanwhile, the student who turned back upon seeing her earlier returned to his dormitory, grumbling, "Damn it, today is not suitable for going out."
Drinking water, Su Xingle curiously asked, "What happened?"
"Saw that madwoman Qian Qi as soon as I stepped out, totally unlucky," said the roommate.
Su Xingle let out a dramatic sigh, "You think that's bad? This morning in the canteen, not only did she accuse me of bumping into her, but she even grabbed my collar demanding the coat, can you believe it? I was so terrified seeing her face, I nearly had a heart attack."
"Really? That's terrible," the roommate piqued, asking, "And you gave it to her?"
"What else could I do?" Su Xingle said nervously, "I don't want to end up like Chen Tong, you're aware of how crazy she can be, it took all of us—me, you, and Old Li from next door—to finally separate her from Chen Tong back then."
"And my newly bought coat, well, fortune to avert calamity, hope I don't dream of Qian Qi tonight, I'd rather dream of ghosts, or being chased by Magic Beasts, than dream of Qian Qi, she's really terrifying... huh? Why are you coughing?"
While Su Xingle rambled on, he noticed his roommate suddenly coughing dryly, puzzled.
The roommate coughed twice more, secretly signaling towards his back.
Unprepared, Su Xingle turned around, immediately confronting Qian Qi's smiling eyes.
Su Xingle: !!!
Help!
Why is she here! Did she hear everything he just said?
"Sis..." Su Xingle's voice started trembling again.
"Senior Su..." Qian Qi smiled sweetly, suddenly showing a hurt expression, "How could you say that about me? Look, I washed your coat so clean, fearing you'd misunderstand, I especially washed it and hurriedly delivered it."
She said sadly, "Never thought Senior Su would also look at me with tinted lenses like others."
Su Xingle rapidly shook his head, "No, no, definitely not!"
Seeing the clean coat draped over Qian Qi's arm, his mood was complicated, never expecting Qian Qi to actually clean his coat.
Even delivered it.
Could it be Qian Qi isn't as bad as he thought?
"Well... thank you?" Su Xingle tentatively reached for the coat.
But found Qian Qi's hand pressing down on it, he couldn't pull it away.
Qian Qi seemingly unnoticed, sighed deeply, her tone long and drawn out, "Alas, poor me with my skinny arms and legs, coming all the way to the Magic Beast Department dorm, climbed five whole floors, five floors! Just to hand Senior his coat personally."
"In the end? Only to hear Senior's words of humiliation, saying I'm scarier than ghosts and Magic Beasts." Qian Qi clutched her heart painfully, "My fragile heart... truly deeply wounded!"
Su Xingle felt somewhat guilty under her words, inevitably feeling remorse, indeed having no personal feud with Qian Qi, he did wrong in the canteen collision too.
Moreover, he was the one who started cursing, yet Qian Qi didn't utter a single profanity and even proactively offered to wash his clothes.
"Sorry, I really shouldn't have said that," Su Xingle couldn't help but say, "I misunderstood you, don't be sad."
"Senior Su, my emotional scars..." Qian Qi continued to shake her head and sigh, "Won't heal anytime soon."
"Then, this..." Su Xingle was at a loss on what to do, he glanced to his roommate for help, but the roommate cruelly shifted his gaze away, burying himself in a book pretending to be invisible.
"Does Senior Su want to compensate me?" Qian Qi spoke on his behalf.
Su Xingle promptly nodded, "Yes, how do you want to be compensated?"
Qian Qi immediately grasped Su Xingle's wrists with both hands, her face lit up with joy, where was the earlier sad expression?
"I knew Senior was a good person! I just happen to need 10 pounds of fresh bloody Demon Beast Meat recently, Senior will definitely give it to me for free as compensation, won't you?"
Su Xingle: ...
Su Xingle: ???
Why do I feel like I've been played!
