Chapter 62: Power

  Merry Christmas to everyone! Thank you all for your support of Jiuge!

  Su Qiwei fainted and fell to the ground, compared to her previous uncontrolled spiritual power, she has made great progress now.

  However, Su Qi's progress made Si Ruiwen extremely uneasy. With a single strike from Xiang Liu, she was killed without any chance to fight back. Could Su Qi really handle her? Si Ruiwen's gaze drifted towards Lu Ke standing beside Su Qi. If it weren't for the scorpion constantly interfering, Su Qi would have long been hers. Now that Su Qi's inheritance had awakened to an uncontrollable extent... she could only be forced to change tactics.

  Lu Ke picked up Su Qi Ru, who was unconscious, and frowned slightly. She was lighter than before, when did that start? He hadn't even noticed it himself. Lu Ke carefully examined Su Qi Ru, although on the surface there was no change, but she had indeed lost a lot of weight. This wasn't a good sign... Lu Ke's footsteps became heavy due to this discovery, should he shift his attention back to Su Qi Ru again? It seemed like he had missed too much already...

  "Why don't you leave?" Hu Yun Teng glared at Xi Rui Wen, as if he didn't want him to exist.

  Shi Ruwen's attention was still on Su Qiye, and he didn't notice the malice in Hu Yunteng's words. He casually found a stone to sit down on, his eyes still fixed on the direction where Su Qiye had disappeared, and replied softly, "You are a trustworthy person."

  "You can leave now, I don't want to be disturbed." Hu YunTeng said bluntly.

  "Hmm?" Shi Ruiwen turned his gaze to Hu Yunteng, staring at him with a playful expression, and after a while, he regained his usual smile. "It seems that my guess was correct!"

  Hu Yun Teng didn't say a word, coldly staring at Xi Rui Wen, his expression of discontent was extremely obvious.

  "Hehe..." Shi Ruwen chuckled nonchalantly, completely ignoring Hu Yunteng's increasingly gloomy expression. "Good luck to you!" He said, getting up neatly and leaving the backyard at a leisurely pace.

  "Qí Ruò, Qí Ruò, what's wrong with you?" The dormitory sisters were frightened by Su Qí Ruò's sudden vomiting sound. Had she eaten something bad?

  "It's nothing..." Su Qi Ruo vomited for half a day but only spat out some sour water, no wonder. After being sent back to the dormitory by Lu Ke and lying in bed unconscious, she didn't get up until now, it has been a whole day since she last ate, what was there to throw up?

  "Should we go to the hospital?" Lin Qingqing, the eldest in the dormitory, asked with concern.

  "It's really nothing, maybe I just haven't eaten and my stomach doesn't feel well." Su Qi said helplessly, could she say that she was disgusted by Xiang Liu's bad breath? It had been so long, but taking a deep breath, she could still smell a faint stench, Xiang Liu's lethal power was too strong.

  "It's fine if nothing is wrong, just speak up if there is something." Lin Qingqing reminded anxiously.

  "Got it, boss." Su Qi replied with a hint of gratitude. The dormitory environment was still good, plain but warm and cozy, unlike the outside world where people were fighting and killing each other, which made her feel unsafe.

  But... Su Qi thought back to the time when she killed Xiang Liu, her body overflowing with spiritual power like a raging sea, the strength, that first intense feeling, still excited her heart now.

  Every boy has a heroic dream, and every girl does too. No one doesn't yearn for the power to defeat their opponents with just a flick of their wrist, that thrilling feeling, and the sense of accomplishment from saving the world, which moves everyone's heart.

  Su Qi Ruo's heart was moved, she never knew that she could be so strong, bravely protecting others and being relied upon by them. The feeling of being needed was really great.

  If I had the power, I wouldn't be looked down on, I wouldn't be ridiculed, I wouldn't be called an idiot... Su Qi Ruo suddenly saw Lu Ke's figure in front of her eyes. Although he was commanding himself at that time, but he needed himself very much, right? Otherwise, no one could leave alive. If I also had enough power, could I walk into the world of gods and demons to slowly understand him... Why do I want to understand him? Don't I have nothing to do with him? Su Qi Ruo covered her head and rolled around on the bed in frustration, Su Qi Ruo you're infatuated again! Don't think about him! He already has a girlfriend, he already has a girlfriend!

  Why do I want power? Because I want to protect the people around me, my dormitory sisters, and those innocent people! Right, that's it, go for it, Su Qi Ru! Go for it!

  "Ah-choo-" Su Qi Ruo's body had another inexplicable ache, was it because of the intense exercise on the back mountain? Su Qi Ruo guessed that maybe after entering senior year, she didn't exercise much anymore, sitting in the self-study room all day, her body got old, no wonder climbing the back mountain was not possible. In the future, she must exercise regularly. However, it's winter now, and it's so cold outside, wearing thick clothes makes exercising very inconvenient! It's better to wait until spring arrives, then go out for a run or something, that would be most suitable.

  "Qiruo, are you going to self-study or not?" Yu Sisi asked with a book in hand, somewhat helplessly.

  "Are you going to self-study?" Su Qi Ruo looked at Yu Si Si with a scrutinizing gaze, as if she had seen a monster. "What? Not allowed?" Yu Si Si felt her heart flutter under Su Qi Ruo's stare.

  Su Qi shook her head, "But aren't you someone who doesn't like self-study?"

  "Ugh!" Yu SiSi's expression was a mix of frustration and entanglement. "Qi Ruo, I shouldn't be disturbing you and your little boyfriend, but this time, only you and I in our dorm chose this course, and," Yu SiSi intentionally emphasized, "the exam is in just three days."

  "Can't we not mention the little boyfriend?" Isn't this just stirring up trouble? It's too hurtful.

  "Alright, alright!" Yu SiSi was afraid that Su Qi would get angry and not take her to the self-study session. Who else could she ask for study materials? Moreover, during mid-term and final exams, the self-study room was always packed, and she had to follow Su Qi to grab a seat. "Are you going or not?" Yu SiSi skillfully changed the subject.

  "Of course I'll go!" There are only three days left until the exam, and if I don't review now, it will be too late. Besides, this teacher doesn't even give a scope for the exam, trying to exhaust us to death?! "I'll get ready." Oww... Su Qi suddenly forgot about his physical condition in his excitement, gritting his teeth in pain - he really needs to exercise more!

  "Master Cai, will this work or not?"

  "Hey! Don't be in such a hurry!" Si Ruiwen's smile was frivolous, but on his face, it seemed charming and enchanting, making one's bones feel slightly numb.

  She Ruwen gazed at the woman in front of him with relish, delicate and pretty, charming and alluring. Any man who saw her would like her, so why wasn't there such a beauty by his side?

  Li Xuer was made nervous by She Ruwen, this venomous snake, no matter what she said, he just smiled, and had no idea what he was thinking, really annoying!

  She Ruwen gazed at Li Xuer for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Your idea is not bad, I agree."
