Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 48 - A Bet's a Bet

Seeing that Qian Renxue was nowhere to be found, Qian Lingyun sighed helplessly as she looked at her wet bedding. She casually put it away and slowly got out of bed, holding onto the railing with some difficulty.

After landing smoothly, he twisted his stiff neck, turned his waist and hips, making two crisp clicks.

Bored, Qian Lingyun smacked her lips, looked around, cleared a space big enough to fit a bathtub, threw a bunch of strange and unusual medicinal herbs into it, and then greedily sniffed the medicinal fragrance that filled the room.

Wearing a loose bathrobe, she knocked on the door of her classmate's room next door. The girl living next door had the Jade Water Martial Soul. Whenever Qian Lingyun and Qian Renxue were too lazy to fetch water for a bath, they would spend a little money to have her use her Martial Soul to fill the tub.

The girl was quite happy to earn money for a late-night snack with just a wave of her hand, and even... thoughtfully bought Qian Renxue and her companion an annual membership card...

"Sister Yun, let's go!" The green-haired girl filled the bathtub with water and thoughtfully closed the door for Qian Lingyun.

"Okay, goodbye." Qian Lingyun nodded, reached into the bathtub, and casually picked up the herbs floating on the surface of the water. Qian Lingyun pouted, her first soul ring lit up, and she created a black fireball out of thin air.

The moment the fireball appeared, the temperature in the room soared, and the terrifying ripples in the air seemed to proclaim the fireball's extreme heat.

He pressed the fireball into the water, and the once calm surface of the water instantly surged violently, with a large plume of steam enveloping the entire dormitory like a steamer.

After briefly testing the water temperature, Qian Lingyun opened the window a crack, which slightly improved the visibility in the foggy dormitory.

Shedding her light water robe, Qian Lingyun submerged most of her body in the water. Her fair skin flushed slightly pink in the warm water, but she was oblivious to it. She simply rested her head gently on the edge of the tub, held her breath, and slowly expelled the cold air from her body.

The chill was quite strong. Even with the help of Qian Renxue's sacred fire, a considerable amount remained in Qian Lingyun's body. Fortunately, it did not significantly affect her strength. As long as she took hot baths like today, she could get rid of it in two or three days at most.

call--

He exhaled a breath of pale blue icy air, and a piece of floating ice immediately condensed on the water's surface, but it quickly melted again under the erosion of the surrounding hot water.

Qian Lingyun raised her right arm to support her somewhat numb head, recalling the close attack she had received that afternoon, and felt an uncontrollable fire burning inside her.

Apart from the very beginning, she didn't use much force at other times. She even refrained from killing Tang San's daughter. But Huo Yuhao, even with his soul power level dropping, still had to do this to her. Was it really necessary?

If she hadn't reacted quickly and released her torso skill the moment the ice sealed her, she probably would have been in serious trouble!

"Indeed, you have to be ruthless when dealing with enemies; otherwise, you'll easily get yourself killed."

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun coughed lightly twice, closed her eyes, and continued to regulate her breathing.

Not long after, the dormitory door was opened by a key. The faint sound woke Qian Lingyun, who was half asleep. Sensing the familiar presence, Qian Lingyun turned her neck slightly, hummed lazily twice with her nose, and then continued soaking in the water.

"I'll get your bet back for you," Qian Renxue said as she closed the door behind her after returning, waving the gold note worth one million gold soul coins in front of Qian Lingyun.

Seemingly intrigued by Qian Renxue's words, Qian Lingyun opened her droopy eyelids and lazily asked, "Oh, really? What was his expression like when you gave him the money?"

"His facial expressions were very interesting, and his facial expressions were very rich."

Thinking of Wang Dong's pale expression and the hatred in his eyes when she asked for the bet earlier, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand and pinched Qian Lingyun's flushed cheek, teasingly saying, "Look how soft you are! Are you hungry? If you are, let's go out for a meal with Teacher Mu."

"I'm so hungry I have no strength left." Qian Lingyun struggled to get up, holding onto the edge of the bathtub, but her body went limp and she slipped back into the water.

Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly and sighed, "I've already told you, you can't soak in a medicinal bath for too long. If you soak for too long, your body won't have any energy. Look at you, you need my help again..."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue rolled up her sleeves and scooped Qian Lingyun out of the water from the bucket. She patiently dried her off. Qian Lingyun covered her face, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed. It was unclear whether her blush was from being soaked or from embarrassment.

While Qian Lingyun was getting dressed, Qian Renxue tidied up the room briefly. Finally, she helped the slightly unsteady Qian Lingyun walk towards the teaching building.

In the classroom office, Mu Jin lay calmly in her office chair, looking at Zhou Yi, whose face was gloomy, with a half-smile.

Although Mu Jin hadn't said a word all afternoon, Zhou Yi was extremely uncomfortable with the smug look on her face...

"What are you doing all afternoon, just staring at me like that?" Zhou Yi finally snapped and shouted at Mu Jin, who was not far away.

"I wasn't looking at you!" Mu Jin feigned surprise and chuckled, "I was just thinking about something happy."

"What's so exciting, Teacher Mu?"

The homeroom teacher of Class 8 at the next table put down his work and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that my student was very capable, and he single-handedly eliminated Teacher Zhou's top team!"

As she spoke, the expression on Mu Jin's face seemed to subtly convey pride.

"Really? Teacher Mu! You should bring this little genius over to introduce him to us. He's so talented at such a young age, he'll definitely be a top student in the inner academy in the future!" The female teacher of Class 10 was also full of surprise. She couldn't help but turn her chair around and start a conversation with Mu Jin.

Her words were brimming with envy, after all… her entire Class 10 team had been eliminated today… she had the misfortune of becoming the first teacher out of ten classes to suffer a complete wipeout.

"I originally planned to bring her along to show everyone, but I saw that she had used up a lot of energy this afternoon and was very tired, so I let her go home to rest. After all, health is the most important thing!"

When talking about her trump card, Mu Jin spoke eloquently, sparing no words of praise.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Upon hearing the words "Come in," Qian Lingyun and Qian Renxue peeked out from the crack in the door.

"See, just like I said, it came true!" Mu Jin jumped up from her office chair, ran to the office door, and pulled the bewildered Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun inside.

The moment Zhou Yi saw Qian Lingyun, the dark aura on her face, which had been silent for a long time, darkened even more.

"Teacher, I'm hungry, I need food!" Qian Lingyun rubbed her stomach and tugged at Mu Jin's arm.

"I've already booked a table at Hongyunlou Restaurant in Xicheng. Let's invite Ning Tian and the rest of us go have a nice meal!"

After speaking, Mu Jin paused, waved goodbye to her colleagues, but stopped as she passed Zhou Yi's desk and said considerately, "Zhou Yi, I'm not in a hurry to use that set of soul tools right now. Let Fan Yu take his time to make them and deliver them before the end of the year."

After saying that, Mu Jin, holding a girl's hand, walked out of the office with an air of superiority.
