Chapter 147 A Kiss, Seven Spots Sold to Celebrate at Jiubao Pavilion
On the other side, Zhu Lu withdrew the Ice Shadow Cat possession, the black cat characteristics faded, revealing her usual aloof face.
Dai Huabin walked over and stood in front of her.
"Well played."
Zhu Lu raised her head slightly, her lips twitched, but she didn't say anything.
Dai Huabin reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone casual:
"You were able to take down Beibei's Radiant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon head-on. If word gets out, you'll definitely be known as the top agility attacker in the outer academy."
Zhu Lu gently shook her head, her voice not loud. "It's because Sister Xue'er's soul skill is so useful."
"Even if a soul skill is useful, the person using it must know how to use it." Dai Huabin pinched her chin and lifted her face.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
It was very light and quick, but it happened right in front of everyone.
Zhu Lu froze for a moment.
Her face turned red starting from her chin, all the way to her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a thin layer of pink.
She instinctively tried to step back, but Dai Huabin's hand was still on her shoulder, and she was pulled back after taking half a step.
"Hua Bin, there are too many people here..." Zhu Lu's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. She lowered her head, not daring to look around at all.
Dai Huabin, however, seemed completely unconcerned, releasing his grip and taking a step back with an air of composure.
...
Fifteen meters away.
Wang Dong'er stopped in her tracks.
She had just walked from the center of the arena, her long, light blue hair slightly disheveled from the battle, and she was reaching up to tuck it behind her ear. Her hand froze in mid-air, and she stood still for a second.
She saw it.
Wang Dong'er slowly lowered her hand, her expression unchanged, still maintaining the air of the young lady of the Clear Sky Sect. But her clenched fist tightened for a moment, then relaxed.
She turned her head, pretending to look at the scenery on the sidelines.
I can't quite describe how I feel, but something just feels strange.
She has known Dai Huabin for over a year.
From being exposed as a woman on the first day of school, to being provoked by him to the point of wanting to defeat him, and then to that golden radiance worth nine and a half million at the treasure appreciation event...
Wang Dong'er bit the inside of her lip, forcefully suppressing the sour taste.
What does this have to do with me?
He already had a fiancée.
Wang Dong'er mentally explained the reasoning to herself, and then repeated it again.
But it didn't work.
...
Xiao Xiao stood next to Wang Dong'er and saw the whole scene clearly.
She first glanced at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu in front of her, then secretly turned her head to glance at Wang Dong'er.
It's over. Dong'er's ear tips turned red again, but this time the redness was different from when she won the game.
Xiao Xiao sighed inwardly. She knew Wang Dong'er too well; although Dong'er didn't say it, her face clearly showed it.
But Xiao Xiao herself was not at peace with herself.
She looked down at the tips of her shoes, then looked up at Dai Huabin's profile.
Well, they were a couple to begin with.
But just as Ya Jie said, the class monitor was indeed much nicer to them than to the other students. Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered Zhu Lu's suggestion that the class monitor take them all in.
Xiao Xiao felt a bit hot. She shook her head vigorously to get rid of those messy thoughts, then walked over and tugged at Wang Dong'er's sleeve.
"Dong'er, let's go. Don't just stand there."
"Who's standing there? I'm looking… at Sister Xue'er." Wang Dong'er said in a serious tone.
Xiao Xiao, upon hearing this, didn't bother to expose her.
...
Cui Yajie leaned against the low wall at the side of the court, her long pink hair casually draped over her shoulders.
When she saw Dai Huabin kiss Zhu Lu, she was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
It's not jealousy.
Cui Yajie has always had a clear understanding of matters of the heart.
But Hua Bin is indeed handsome, and coupled with his domineering and confident demeanor on the field just now, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't tempted.
Moreover, after all that has happened over the past year, Cui Yajie understands that not only she, but also Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, have become inseparable from their class monitor. Now, Ning Tian is even more eager to get close to him.
Not to mention, the class monitor now has Sister Bing'er and Sister Xue'er by his side. It's really lively.
...
Edge of the spectator area.
Xue Di stood there the whole time, her blue eyes quietly watching the scene.
The moment Dai Huabin kissed Zhu Lu, Xue Di's fingers paused on the teacup.
A strange feeling spread from her chest.
It wasn't jealousy, but more like a sense of resonance.
There is a blood pact between Xue Di and Zhu Lu.
She could sense some of Zhu Lu's emotional fluctuations.
Zhu Lu's heart raced, her cheeks flushed, and a complex mix of shyness and joy flowed through the bond of the blood pact.
If it's just a simple resonance, then that's fine.
But Xue Di discovered that she didn't reject that feeling in her heart.
She frowned and put down her teacup.
This isn't the first time I've felt this way.
Every time Zhu Lu experiences strong emotional fluctuations toward Dai Huabin, her own emotions are stirred as well. At first, she thought it was just a side effect of the blood pact. But lately, she's become increasingly uncertain.
Xue Di lowered her eyes, not thinking much about it.
...
Dai Huabin took Zhu Lu's hand, and the two walked side by side toward Ning Tian.
Zhu Lu's face was still red. She didn't pull away from his hand, but kept her head down and stared at the ground as she walked.
As he approached Ning Tian, Dai Huabin said, "We got all seven spots today. We should celebrate."
Ning Tian snapped out of her reverie and nodded. "Of course. Where to?"
"Nine Treasures Pavilion."
Ning Tian laughed and said, "Okay!"
Wang Dong'er overheard this as she walked over, and she snorted:
"Going to Nine Treasures Pavilion again? Why do you two always go there?"
Xiao Xiao whispered from behind, "Dong'er, they're treating us."
"I know." Wang Dong'er's tone was not good, but she didn't stop walking and followed them outside.
Cui Yajie leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and said, "Is she jealous?"
Xiao Xiao reached out and covered Cui Yajie's mouth. "Keep your voice down!"
Cui Yajie's mouth was covered, and she mumbled two "mm" sounds, raised her eyebrows, and gave a "see, I was right" look on her face.
...
The group headed toward the exit of the arena.
Dai Huabin glanced at Xue Di, then slowed his pace and waited for her to walk to his side.
"Xue'er, let's go celebrate together."
Xue Di responded.
"Is Bing'er still waiting outside?" Dai Huabin asked again.
"Yes, she can't enter the Soul Arena without a student status. She should be sitting outside."
Dai Huabin smiled and said, "I guess she's getting impatient. Let's go and call her together."
Xue Di nodded and followed the group out.
As she passed by Zhu Lu, Zhu Lu looked up at her. Neither of them said anything, but the bond of their blood pact caused their emotions to intertwine for a fleeting moment.
Zhu Lu smiled at Xue Di.
Xue Di turned her head away, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
...
Outside the arena, Ice Emperor sat on a bench to the left of the entrance, legs crossed, two emerald-green ponytails hanging down her back. One hand propped up her chin, while the other tapped idly on the armrest of the chair.
She had been sitting there for almost an hour.
The selection competition was not open to the public, and since she did not have the status of a trainee, she could not even get through the gate.
Before Xue Di and Dai Huabin went in, they told her to wait a while, so she waited.
As a result, they waited for more than an hour.
Ice Emperor's eyes were filled with impatience.
"What's so interesting about a bunch of people fighting each other inside?"
She muttered something.
Two second-year students in yellow school uniforms passed by and saw Ice Emperor sitting there throwing a tantrum. They whispered among themselves.
"Who is that girl with the bright green hair? She's so pretty."
"I don't recognize her. I've never seen her before. Maybe she's new here?"
Ice Emperor listened for two seconds, then rolled her eyes and ignored them.
She waited for about five more minutes before the gates of the arena finally opened.
Dai Huabin walked at the front, holding Zhu Lu's hand beside him, followed by Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie, Ning Tian, and Xue Di, the seven of them filing out one after another.
Ice Emperor jumped up from her chair.
"You're finally out!"
She rushed over, first looking at Xue Di, then at Dai Huabin.
"Why has it taken so long? How many matches have been played inside?"
"One match." Dai Huabin reached out and flicked her forehead.
"A match lasts for more than an hour?"
"The rules are complex. It's a chaotic free-for-all," Xue Di explained briefly.
"So, did you win?"
"Seven spots, all of them are ours." Cui Yajie peeked out from behind and made a gesture.
Ice Emperor tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her orange-gold eyes lit up. "What about me? Do I have a spot?"
Dai Huabin glanced at her and said, "You're not a student."
"Hmph!"
Ice Emperor's face fell instantly.
Dai Huabin smiled and pinched Ice Emperor's little cheek. "Alright, let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."
"What do you want to eat?" Ice Emperor's emotions shifted very quickly. As soon as she heard about food, her attention immediately went elsewhere.
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor finally relented. "That's more like it."
