/Alright! The little lady was being prideful again./
Everybody smiled helplessly as they followed the two proctors to the dorms assigned to each academy’s students.
Each academy was alloated a small courtyard. Even though they had to squeeze in, it wasn’t an issue to stay there for two to three days.
Besides Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan who shared a room, the other rooms were divided up among the males as they pleased.
Miss Qiao couldn’t help finding Crown Prince Mo’s aggrieved gaze amusing when they parted.
After Qi Xuanxuan finished washing up in the inner room, she dragged a stool to where Qiao Mu was sitting and suggested with a serious expression, “Qiaoqiao, how about I stay outside, and your Lian comes and stays here?”
Qiao Mu was preoccupied with looking over her spoils from Mount Tai and didn’t even look up to reply, “No need. He should have accommodations too.”
It would only be one or two days, as the second round was not going to be held in Godsend Academy.
That’s why they would have to set out for the competition grounds of the second round after resting for one or two nights.
“I just know Qiaoqiao is the best! You definitely won’t choose beaus over pals!” Qi Xuanxuan giggled, immediately re-energized.
She saw that Qiao Mu paid no attention to her, engrossed in picking over the pile of things to store into another storage talisman.
Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What are these forging materials and these zombie cores you picked out for?”
“For my Lian,” Qiao Mu answered collectedly.
Qi Xuanxuan instantly felt like she had gotten shot in the chest with an arrow. She clutched her chest and cried out exaggeratedly, “Hey, hey, hey, can you just stop already.”
/Were you gonna die if you didn’t make a public display of affection for a single day…/
Qiao Mu looked up and blinked at her. “He is a divine weapon engineer.”
/Sh*t, no way?/ Truth to be told, Qi Xuanxuan really had never seen a divine weapon engineer, which was the stuff of legends.
Qi Xuanxuan quickly scooted her stool closer to Qiao Mu. “Then could you have your Lian improve upon this spiritual sword of mine when he’s free?”
Qiao Mu glanced at her before giving a reluctant nod. “We’ll see after resting for two days. He’s been rather worn out during this period of time.”
Qi Xuanxuan nodded with a giggle. “Of course, of course. Qi Xuanxuan, what use are thse zombie cores?”
“They’re useful to superhumans. Superhumans can absorb these cores to augment their abilities.” Qiao Mu paused as she collected the cores.
/Along that same vein, she could also augment her superpower of psychokinesis with these./
Therefore, she kept several small cores for her own absorption, while the majority she put into an empty storage talisman with the forging materials. She hopped up and said, “I’m going to find my Lian.”
Qi Xuanxuan: …
/You have a husband, big deal!/
Qiao Mu didn’t forget to give Qi Xuanxuan another stab as she ran to the door. “Xuanxuan, remember to tell me if you happen to fall for a guy!”
The little fellow spoke in the air of someone experienced, “I will help you scrutinize!”
Qi Xuanxuan felt so infuriated as she silently watched the little fellow fly far away like a butterfly darting through a flowerbed.
“D*rn girl.” Qi Xuanxuan puffed out her cheeks as she grumpily watched her go.
She mused in her mind: /Darn fellow, it would be great if you were happy every day like this./
The way she broke down when they discovered the corpses in the underground prison really made her heart ache.
