The old man's eyes widened slightly, and he extended a finger towards his chest, just in time to block the fist that Momo had suddenly swung out, unleashing a shockwave.
"Hmph! What good is speed? Your unstable demonic energy has already given you away completely. If it weren't for the fact that you're my lovely granddaughter, you'd be lying in a pool of blood on the ground by now. Before you challenge someone, you need to understand the difference in strength between yourself and your opponent. At least calm yourself down before you come over," the old man said in a deep voice.
"Tch... The old man is indeed so strong that he's like a monster even among great demons. I'm leaving!" Mo Mo withdrew his fist in annoyance and turned to leave.
"Hey! Momo! Where are you going? Are you cultivating?" the old man asked.
"You've already finished your cultivation for today, right? The rest is for tomorrow!" Momo shouted as he jumped onto the riverbank, leaped onto the surrounding rooftops, and quickly flew away between the rooftops.
"My granddaughter is getting less and less adorable as she grows up. She's still a long way from advancing." The old man shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
"Hey...who, who can save us..." The bear demons, lying on the riverside path arranged like Tetris blocks, were unable to move due to broken bones and cried out weakly.
The passing monsters noticed the pile of bear-shaped building blocks on the riverbank. Some chuckled and left, while others took out their banana-shaped phones to take pictures, intending to post them on Weibo later. A dog even raised a hind leg near the newly appeared building, splashed some scented liquid on it, and marked its territory.
As for how the black bears feel, no one cares.
"Save me... We are children with parents who worry about us too..." the bear demon, awakened by the water, said sadly and desolately, before fainting again.
The strong do not bully the weak, but they will ignore the insignificant weak. This may seem cruel, but it applies to all sorts of situations.
The old man didn't stop Momo out of pity for the weak; he simply thought that Momo, with his talent, shouldn't waste his time on such things.
But right now, Momo longs to live freely and fight freely.
...............
After the black car arrived at the academy, Ya Zi left first.
"Little brother, then I'll be going now. I'm coming back to visit some friends. Please give my regards to Momo." Ya Zi waved and left with the two sharp weapons tucked into her thighs.
"Sister Ya Zi, why don't you go to the infirmary to treat your wound first?" Qin Jing said.
"Little brother, you've been too long-winded. Goodbye." Ya Zi waved and left.
"Beep beep!" The black car seemed to reassure Qin Jing.
"Alright, let me wash you up, Black Car." Qin Jing turned around and saw the bloodstains and dust on the Black Car, which had been affected by the battle in the tunnel.
"Beep beep beep~!" The black car, flashing its red headlights, seemed a little shy as it slowly drove towards the car wash platform on the side of the parking lot.
Qin Jing found the long hose of the faucet and the car wash tools there, and started scrubbing the black car with foam. After rinsing it several times, the black car looked brand new again.
The water splashing high in the sunlight transformed into rainbows among the green grass, while the pure black car body gleamed in the sunlight, exuding the understated luxury of a sedan.
"Goodbye then, black cab! I'm going back to my dorm now, I'll come visit you again next time." Qin Jing took a backpack out of the car, patted the last seat of the black cab, and turned to leave.
"Beep beep~!" The black car flashed its lights to say goodbye to Qin Jing, watching her walk away into the distance.
Looking at the sky, Black Car felt he had no desire to work again that day. So, Black Car transformed into human form, stood up, stretched, and his already good figure was made even more shapely by his black bodysuit.
"Mmm~! It feels like it's been so long since I've been in this body." The tall woman with short black hair sighed as she walked towards her staff dormitory area, wearing a black one-piece zippered bodysuit and black high-heeled boots.
As the black car drove along, the driver, his face flushed, complained, "Xiao Jing is a good kid in every way, except for her habit of touching my butt. And every time she takes a picture, the spot is just too suggestive. I really don't know what to say about her at such a young age!"
With the academy about to start, youkai could be seen carrying their luggage back to their dormitories everywhere. On her way back to the dormitory, Qin Jing greeted the youkai she knew along the way.
"Hello, Senior Honeybee." Qin Jing waved to the bee spirit living in the garden.
"Ah, Qin Jing, you're back too."
"Hello, Senior Tiger, are you taking a walk with Senior Dragon again today?"
"Kid, what you're saying sounds a bit strange," the blue-haired dragon demon with fierce eyes asked unhappily, being led by a petite, adorable tiger.
"You're overthinking it. I'll be going now." Qin Jing quickly made her way away. After walking a short distance, she saw a tengu-like girl with twin ponytails flying overhead. Qin Jing called out, "Senior Ji Haitang, are you out gathering material for a rare occasion?"
"Don't talk like I never go out! Xiaojing, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, who knows what would have happened to the academy! You'd better stop Wolf God Momo's atrocities."
"Huh? What did my sister do?" Qin Jing asked curiously.
"You'll see me sooner or later, I'm off now. By the way, the things you did and the news articles you wrote last semester were very well received, keep up the good work this semester!"
"Haha, I actually hope everything is peaceful and nothing happens," Qin Jing said with a wry smile, even though things always seem to keep popping up little by little.
"Then goodbye." Ji Haitang flew towards her apartment; a few hours out today was enough.
It seems that many unexpected things happened at the academy during his absence.
With a nervous heart, Qin Jing unlocked the door with her key, fearing what kind of chaotic mess awaited her inside.
Fortunately, when the door was pushed open, everything inside was normal; nothing had been smashed and there were no large holes in the walls.
Tap tap tap, a small figure ran out from inside, it was little Seba wearing a white dress and a blue skirt.
"Xiao Jing! You're back!" Little Seba shouted happily.
"I'm back, Seba. Did you just get back to the dorm today?" Qin Jing asked with a smile.
“Yes, I was the first one here, Xiaojing, you’re the second. Everyone said you’d be back today,” said Xiao Seba.
"Really? Then tonight's party is to celebrate everyone's return. I didn't bring anything when I was dragged out, but my mom asked me to bring you a bunch of delicious food this time." Qin Jing took out bags of food from her backpack and put them in the refrigerator.
There are fried meatballs and fried meat patties made by Qin Ma herself, as well as various local snacks.
"What should we do? Hot pot is a good option. As long as we find a big pot and prepare enough ingredients, everyone can have a great time and it will be lively and fun."
Guh!
Hearing about parties and delicious food immediately conjured up images of all sorts of culinary delights, and a rumbling sound came from Little Seba's stomach.
Section 158, Page 91: Hot Pot is the Perfect Dish in Winter
Inside the spacious house, the loud rumbling of a hungry stomach echoed through the circular walls.
"Seba...didn't you eat enough at home?" Qin Jing asked the girl in confusion. Even if Seba wasn't very popular with her parents at home, a large family on the grasslands wouldn't let their own daughter go hungry, would they?
“At home, I can eat my fill, but there are only a few things to eat there: potato pies, fish and chips, fried chocolate, roast beef, and sausages. After more than a month, I’m completely tired of it. I definitely still prefer Xiaojing’s cooking,” Xiao Seba said seriously.
Oh dear, I forgot this kid has a "dimensional stomach".
"I know, I know. So tonight, besides hot pot, let's make some more of your favorite big chunks of meat dishes, Seba," Qin Jing replied with a smile.
"That's awesome! You're the best, Xiaojing! I love it!" Little Seba said, his eyes lighting up at the mention of delicious food.
"Huh? Huh?" Qin Jing stiffened and turned around to ask, "Where did you learn that phrase, Seba?"
"Xiao Jing, you're the best? Is that what you mean?" Little Seba asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"No, it's the last sentence," Qin Jing said. What exactly happened during this holiday to cause such a drastic change in Seba's personality? Is this a fake Seba? Otherwise, why would he utter such outrageous words?
“I love this line so much!” Seba asked again.
"This is it! Where did you learn it?" Qin Jing asked suspiciously. He couldn't believe that the Seba he knew would say such a thing.
“My feelings for you are genuine! Hmm… that’s how my sister taught me, and that’s how I should answer if someone asks a question,” Seba replied honestly.
"Ah..." To be honest, Qin Jing was shocked when she heard the first sentence. Fortunately, the following words calmed her down, and she asked, "What is your sister teaching you?"
“Recently, my sister has been acting strangely. It seems like she wants to become a witch and is researching all sorts of strange things. At first, she wanted to collect the hair of the person she liked and then combine it with herself to create a lion.”
"Huh? That's terrifying! But is that even possible?" Qin Jing asked in surprise. When did the technology in the demon realm become so advanced that it's possible to cultivate and nurture infants using hair?
“She failed at first. Then she tried dating other men, but they broke up quickly. In the end, she cried and dragged me and all the other girls to study a bunch of books she'd bought from who-knows-where, like ‘Say “I love you”, ‘Tell the person you like you that you love them the most,’ ‘How to make your crush understand your feelings,’ and ‘The self-cultivation of a mistress,’” Little Seba explained.
"Ah..." Qin Jing suddenly realized that although it was a good thing that a monster classmate liked reading, the titles of those kinds of books sounded as suspicious as books like "My Success Can Be Replicated" or "Become a Popular Person in Thirty Days".
“My sister said that this time we absolutely have to make Wang Ryan change his mind, at least make him grow his mane back,” Little Seba said.
"Hmm, I have a feeling it'll be a lot of trouble after school starts, but oh well, it's none of our business anyway, let's just go to the supermarket to buy groceries." Qin Jing clapped her hands and said.
"Hmm." Little Seba nodded in agreement. Although the method her sister taught didn't seem to work on the person she liked, it was fine to keep things as they were for now.
"It seems everyone isn't back yet, so let's go buy some materials first," Qin Jing said, pulling out his versatile student card. During his time away from the academy, the living expenses on the card were enough to buy both Rin and Sakura.
“Okay! Xiaojing! I’ll take care of carrying the ingredients!” Seba readily agreed.
So Qin Jing and Seba went out together and walked down the slope to the street.
"Help..."
As they walked across the riverbank, Qin Jing and Seba saw the bear children standing there, neatly arranged.
"Oh, performance art? Even on holiday, the students here have done quite a lot." Qin Jing exclaimed in admiration. He really couldn't understand how the bones of these bear monsters maintained that shape.
But since it's a monster, nothing is impossible, right?
"Xiao Jing, what do they seem to be saying?" Seba said, his round lion ears twitching slightly.
"They're probably saying hello to us." Qin Jing gave the bear demons a thumbs up!
Watching the figures walk by again, the bear monsters shed bitter tears. Is this how lonely children are when they are far away from home? Do they not receive love?
“Xiao Jing, it looks like they’re crying?” Seba said.
"Ah, it's probably because the sunlight is too bright. That's surprising. But they're just bears, not pandas, so they probably won't get much attention. They're really dedicated." Qin Jing sighed, taking out her banana-shaped phone to upload the video to Weibo, to promote them and give them a thumbs up.
"Is that so?" Seba looked at the bear demons by the river with a puzzled expression.
"Well, let's hurry up and go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Whale and the others are already back," Qin Jing said with a smile.
"Mmm." Seba nodded vigorously. More than anything else, it was Xiaojing's cooking, which she loved the most, that made her look forward to it.
Vehicles were driving on the highway, traffic lights were changing, and all sorts of monsters were there. This was the street at the foot of the mountain, and looking ahead, you could see a huge supermarket.
Whether it's a tiny Totoro or a towering hippopotamus, they are all frequent visitors here.
The goods inside are so numerous that you could spend a whole day looking at them all. It involves more than ten secret worlds, one of which is the human world. The resources of Penglai, the native continent, are no less than those of the human world.
However, Qin Jing's choices were actually quite simple: just meat, meat, and more meat. Add some vegetables for himself and seafood that whales liked, and that would be enough.
Is it dinosaur bone soup, tiger bone soup, fish soup, or black chicken soup?
As Qin Jing walked, she pondered what ingredients to use for the soup base, while Seba pushed the shopping cart, quietly following behind her. Whenever she saw piles of meat being put into the cart, she would lightly flick her ahoge (cowlick) and feel very happy.
"Ah! Aren't you Jingyue?!" The cashier's Labrador finished swiping the card, and when she saw Qin Jing clearly, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Labrador's shouts were loud, and the surrounding monsters looked over in surprise.
"Really?! I have some face blindness when it comes to humans! I wasn't sure at first."
"Is that really Jingyue! The one I saw on TV!"
"Huh? Huh? What's going on?" Qin Jing asked in surprise. Could it be that the scenes he filmed abroad have also been broadcast to the mainland? No way.
"I enjoyed the movie you starred in with Lord Kuroba. Please shake my hand!" Labrador said with a smile.
"Ah, thank you..." Qin Jing replied helplessly, thinking to herself, "I knew it was true. I have a feeling this is some kind of malice from a fox."
"Jingyue! I will always support you!" Labrador said happily, shaking hands with Qin Jing.
"Jingyue! I heard that the human celebrity Jingyue is here?"
"Shizuki-chan? Where is she? Ah! It really is her!"
"Seba, let's go quickly!" Qin Jing saw more and more monsters gathering around, so she quickly called to Seba, loaded the ingredients into the cart, and pushed it out.
They found a corner and packed all the ingredients into bags, not forgetting to buy a large hot pot. After delivering the shopping cart to the storage area, they returned to their dorm with Seba.
"Seba? You don't mean you know about my acting outside, do you?" Qin Jing asked in a low voice. Wouldn't that expose all his dark history?
“Well, I’ve been busy studying with my sister at home, so I don’t know,” Seba said.
"I see." Hearing this, Qin Jing felt relieved.
“But I still know that you’ve become famous, Xiaojing,” Seba said, pointing to the shopping plaza next to the supermarket.
On the giant screen in the shopping plaza, a girl in a red bathrobe is swinging her feet at the camera and reciting lines to a lawyer with slicked-back black hair parted in the middle.
What's going on? What's going on? Why is a TV drama from the human world being broadcast in the main square like a movie? And the monsters on the ground are all gathered there watching it with great interest.
These scenes were all completed by Qin Jing through self-hypnosis, or rather, by abandoning her sense of shame and entering the mindset of a drama fanatic. She didn't even dare to watch those films herself; they were simply shameful play! After filming, the response was unexpectedly good, and the whole country knew about a new idol named Jing Yue whose gender was ambiguous.
Back at the academy, Qin Jing thought that in the world of monsters, she could at least temporarily get rid of these influences.
But unexpectedly, what awaited him here was...
This is blatant public execution!
Section 159, Page 92: Whose Hot Pot Is It?
As the saying goes, life is full of ups and downs, and there are only a handful of people you can talk to about your troubles.
"Hahaha... Let's go." Qin Jing put the contents of the bag into the large pot, picked up the pot, and turned to walk towards the dormitory on the mountain. With the help of the fox tail, he was no longer helpless.
