Chapter 226 Parkour Academy 26
Qin Baobao was in an exceptionally good mood amidst her life of attending classes, sleeping, and beating up the fat boy. She was considering whether to advance to fourth grade to appease the cunning old headmaster and prevent him from testing her again and causing trouble. However, before the end-of-month exams even began, Qin Baobao received a notice from the academy about secret training.
Li Mo even came to say goodbye in a very serious manner, saying that there were family matters to attend to and that he needed to take some time off (was he taking time off to come here?). He was all clingy and pitiful, as if they were about to part ways forever.
Qin Baobao stood to the side without saying a word or explaining, only raising her hand to stop people from getting too close.
The next morning, everyone who had participated in the training gathered in the principal's office. Li Mo stood there dumbfounded, his expression as colorful as a palette of colors.
Wow, I never expected that!
Principal Qin's speech was very effective, but Qin Baobao felt that he was not in a good state of mind. Was it just her imagination?
But what does this have to do with me?
"The rest is up to Teacher Wu." Principal Qin looked at his subordinate with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, Principal, I will bring all the students back safely."
The excitement of those around him had no effect on Li Mo. He squeezed his way to Qin Baobao's side and whispered something to her.
"Why are you here too? That's unusual." Mu Bai has only just arrived at the academy; could he have been tricked by some bastard?
"Never mind, just stick close to me, I'll protect you. And Ah Chen too." This person in the back really doesn't want to be included, okay? You need to understand my good intentions, darling.
Li Mo put on an expression that said, "You have to understand me."
Qin Baobao didn't say anything, she just quietly glanced at him.
"Mu Bai, why didn't you bring anything? Did you carry too much stuff upstairs beforehand? No wonder you got in through connections, you're really something." Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up, saying "impressive" but his eyes were full of contempt.
"Brother, I can't move it anymore~ Please help me~" Jiang Wentao said in a high-pitched voice, with his pinky finger raised, perfectly mimicking the teachings of an ancient eunuch.
His amusing appearance made everyone burst into laughter.
"Girls are just pretentious." Zhang Yang made this definitive statement, offending all the girls in the group with just one sentence.
Li Mo's expression grew increasingly dark. Hearing this, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and punched him in the mouth with about 70-80% of his strength—a punch that hurt a lot but wasn't fatal.
"I'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed! I'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed! Everyone else doesn't have mouths, but you do. You think you're so great? Today, I'll show you what a mouth you're made of! Next time you go out, you'll know what a human's mouth is for!"
Li Mo, a fire-type ability user, was always known for his volatile temper. He was surprised that he had suppressed his temper in front of Qin Baobao for so long. Now, someone so reckless had actually jumped into his arms, courting death. It would be a shame not to teach this person a lesson, given how much he'd been jumping around in front of him.
The two people, carrying large backpacks, were wrestling together, looking rather adorable and endearing.
I don't know what everyone was thinking, but I didn't see anyone laughing out loud at the scene; they were just watching the spectacle with great interest.
Besides Jiang Wentao...
This guy is terrified.
He'd heard the rumors about the two of them before, but hadn't taken them to heart. He'd assumed it was just jealousy between girls, or that they were being pressured by their elders to help each other out. But judging from the current situation, it seemed like she was protecting him like a daughter-in-law!
Without his wife protecting him, would this little tyrant personally step in and beat someone to death? He didn't know if others believed it, but Jiang Wentao certainly didn't.
Thinking about his actions just now, Jiang Wentao trembled all over.
Who knows, it might be my turn soon.
To save his own life, Jiang Wentao had no choice but to quietly lower his profile and sneak behind everyone. Everyone was busy watching the spectacle, and it was a miracle that Jiang Wentao succeeded in doing so, without anyone noticing.
As the teacher in charge, Ms. Wu cursed inwardly, "Serves you right! You had a bad mouth, now you've gotten yourself into trouble." Only after seeing that the person had been beaten up enough did Ms. Wu step in to smooth things over.
"Stop, stop fighting!"
"You're a team, so let's just let this go. Both sides made mistakes, so be more careful in the future." Teacher Wu opted for a superficial, two-way reprimand.
When Li Mo was pulled up, he took the opportunity to kick the other person again. Jiang Wentao hid behind him, burying his head in his chest. Only when he was sure that the little devil would never see him did he feel a little bit of security.
After hitting the person, Li Mo reverted to his usual gentle self. Looking at Qin Baobao, he sheepishly scratched his head and offered his explanation: "I said I would protect you." So it wasn't my fault; if anyone was at fault, it was that person who spoke rudely and deserved a beating.
Qin Baobao wasn't actually angry; people like that are everywhere. Tripping him up a bit during training would make her feel better.
She didn't expect Li Mo to be so impatient, going straight for the kill without any sense of tact.
It's not that Li Mo doesn't understand tact; even when Xiao Ruochen isn't around, Li Mo can still utterly crush his opponents. It's just that since others are always taking care of things for him, Li Mo prefers to use his fists.
Seeing Li Mo's mangled lip, Qin Baobao could only laugh and get annoyed as she took out some healing pills. After all, she had to protect her little brother.
"Medicine, for healing." Qin Baobao casually took out a bottle and tossed it to Li Mo, unusually generous. After all, medicine in the cultivation world is becoming increasingly scarce, and she didn't know if she would ever enter the cultivation world again. Qin Baobao was usually very stingy, and this was already a significant expense for her.
Li Mo hurriedly caught the item; it was a small jade bottle. The bottle was smooth and delicate, the jade was crystal clear, and small grayish-brown pills could be vaguely seen inside.
Mu Bai said this was a healing medicine, and the bottle was so precious that one could imagine what was inside.
Mu Bai really cares about him. Li Mo kept groping the bottle and grinning foolishly.
Five mentors will accompany them to the desolate planet. They are said to teach them for a month, after which they will be responsible for their own food, drink, and toilet needs.
Qin Baobao watched as the buildings beneath her feet grew smaller and smaller. Within minutes, clouds and mist shrouded the area, and the mountains and rivers disappeared. The spacecraft leaped off Earth, soaring through space and heading towards an unknown destination.
The vastness of space is hard to describe in words; it's simply awe-inspiring. It's a feeling of how insignificant one is in the face of the boundless expanse of space. A surge of emotion welled up within her, a strong urge to do something. Should she cleave the void with a sword, or embrace all the planets in her arms? Qin Baobao clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, forcefully suppressing her urges.
Take a look at the beautiful space, and if you get tired, lie down on the bed and rest for a while.
This is Qin Baobao's plan for the next two weeks.
But plans can't keep up with changes. Qin Baobao closed her eyes, just about to drift off to sleep, when the doorbell rang.
Li Mo's face appeared on the screen. "There's a gravity chamber here, let's go train together," Li Mo said as he opened the door.
Qin Baobao wanted to say that she didn't need to at all. She was as strong as an ox, okay? Besides, the superpowers in her body didn't need any training; they were increasing every moment.
Just as Qin Baobao was about to refuse, Li Mo, as if sensing her thoughts, immediately spoke up. "You don't want me to get beaten up again next time, do you?" he said pitifully, poking at the wound on the corner of his mouth, grimacing and looking quite pathetic.
Zhang Yang: It seems I got beaten up worse.
