Chapter 9 Luck Comes
The grove of trees behind Nankai University.
When Xu San arrived, Feng Baobao was sitting against a tree, her limbs limp, her face and body covered with burn marks.
But she felt no pain. Her previously empty eyes were now somewhat vacant, yet also curious, as if she had seen something new and interesting. She saw Xu San running towards her:
"Xu San, that kid's cheating..."
"I can't win."
"Baby? How could this happen! What's going on?!"
Xu San originally thought that with Feng Baobao's strength, dealing with such a novice should be a piece of cake, but he never expected her to be so badly injured.
Feng Baobao explained the situation in detail...
"He can make thunder, and that thunder is too fierce. Also... it seems like he can absorb my Qi."
"Eat your Qi?!"
If it were just "thunder," it would be understandable, since judging from the description, the "golden light" Zhang Chulan used was likely the Taoist "Golden Light Mantra," so it's not impossible that he knows "thunder magic," especially since his family name is "Zhang"...
Perhaps it has some connection with the Celestial Master's Mansion.
But this talk of "eating qi"...
"Is it his innate ability?" Xu San guessed.
Logically speaking, because the circulation of Qi in innate special abilities is unique, it is difficult to match with the circulation of Qi in acquired cultivation methods. Therefore, most people with innate special abilities cannot cultivate acquired methods. However, if the circulation of Qi in their special abilities can be combined with the circulation of Qi in a certain cultivation method, they can cultivate both simultaneously.
"..."
Feng Baobao didn't say anything about this, because it involved a secret that the Xu brothers didn't know—more than ten years ago, she had promised Zhang Xilin in a forest in Shandong that she would protect Zhang Chulan and pass on something to him.
She had planned to subdue the boy first, and then hand the item over to him once he understood the situation. However, during their fight just now, the item detached from her body and burrowed into his...
This gave it the ability to "absorb Qi"!
"Was that old man playing a trick on me?"
She had doubts about it, but somehow, she denied it in her heart, just as she had inexplicably trusted him before, and she inexplicably believed him as well.
As for Xu San, since there is currently no more information, he can only start with Zhang Chulan himself. His extraordinary strength means that he "poses a potential threat to society" and must be controlled as soon as possible.
After carrying Feng Baobao to the car and taking her home to rest, Xu San began investigating Zhang Chulan's whereabouts...
"Has this kid gone back to school?"
"They're really thick-skinned..."
This was good news, indicating that he didn't know much about the world of supernatural beings. He just felt that a problem had been solved, and he immediately drove to Nanbukai University.
I'd like to talk to him.
……
……
Time flies.
Then evening came.
Zhang Chulan lay on his bed in the dormitory, recalling the battle that afternoon: "What that strange guy said... was it true?"
The moment he activated the Qi Pill, he felt an unprecedented power that was not independent but seemed to have merged into his body, sublimating everything about him.
"But at a price..."
He remembered what the strange man had said:
After you die, everything you own will belong to me.
He didn't understand what this meant, but it sounded like there was nothing to worry about for the time being, unless the other party was going to take his life.
"Give me power...and then kill me?"
"What's in it for him?"
Judging from the situation, the other party definitely has something to gain, but they won't make a move against me so quickly.
On the contrary, it was that woman...
"To find me so quickly and arrange a fake identity that even the police couldn't distinguish, she can't be alone; she must have accomplices!"
Just as Zhang Chulan was pondering...
Buzz—Buzz—
His phone, which was beside his pillow, suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw the message: "People nearby?"
"Wow, that's rare, someone actually greeted me..."
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply added the person as a friend. When he opened the person's Moments, his eyes widened in surprise.
This is an older sister.
A very beautiful older sister.
She had long pink hair, snow-white skin, and a face that resembled that of a female celebrity.
Most importantly, it was her figure. She had a curvy figure with a slender waist, something he had only seen in online pictures. But after just one glance, he felt a surge of excitement.
Buzz!
Soon, the other party sent a message:
"Is he Zhang Chulan, my junior?"
"I'd like to get to know you. Are you free tonight?"
"W-What is this?!"
Zhang Chulan took a deep breath, recalling a conversation he once had with his grandfather…
……
"Chu Lan, do you feel like you're having really bad luck lately, like nothing's going right..."
"No, no!"
"Give me a break, you're always pouting, do you think I can't see through you?"
"Let me tell you... a person's fate is predetermined, and no one can change it, but luck is not..."
"what?"
"Luck is like a wave; you never know where it will ultimately go, but it always rises and falls... When you've weathered your worst period, don't be discouraged—that's when your luck is about to turn!"
……
Upon seeing the date invitation, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, thinking, "Grandpa was absolutely right! After getting through these unlucky days, good things are finally coming!"
"Could this be the legendary... hehe~"
His heart was filled with emotion.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a noise by the window. He turned his head and saw a paper airplane hanging in mid-air.
"Um?!"
To his astonishment, the paper airplane deftly bypassed his roommates' line of sight and hovered right in front of him...
pat!
It fell into his hands.
"This is……"
Zhang Chulan frowned, unfolded the paper airplane, and inside were written a line of words:
"Regarding what happened these past two days, my colleague went too far. I apologize to you on her behalf. We are not your enemies. Can we talk?"
The meeting address is below:
"The grove of trees behind the school"
"Is he that woman's accomplice?"
He glanced at his phone again; his senior had just sent him a message:
"I'll wait for you at the night market in Aocheng. Let's grab something to eat first, then go see a movie, okay?"
"You might be out very late, so don't forget your ID!"
"ID card!!!"
On one side is a beautiful, fair-skinned senior with long legs, who invites her to a bustling night market.
On one side are strangers whose backgrounds you don't know; please go to the dark grove by yourself.
How should I choose...?
Need I say more?
Zhang Chulan had no desire to deal with the crazy woman who would bury or kill people at the drop of a hat during the day and even demand that he become her slave; she was clearly no good person…
What kind of good people could her "colleagues" be?
"I'm not falling for that!"
Zhang Chulan jumped out of bed, got dressed, grabbed his ID card from the table, and rushed out of the dormitory towards the night market, a smile of excitement on his face.
The moment he rushed out of the school gate, Xu San emerged from a corner, looking thoughtfully at Zhang Chulan's retreating figure...
"Where is he going so late?"
He quickly followed.
