Happy times always pass quickly.
He Xie felt like he had just returned home for the holidays, and then the more than one-month winter vacation was over in the blink of an eye.
The night before departure, He Xie stayed up all night in Su Jiu'er's room, tossing and turning all night.
It wasn't until early the next morning that they got into Zhao Keying's car and set off for Shan Hai Evolution University.
As soon as she arrived at the school, Zhao Keying couldn't wait to run to the pharmacology lab, eager to continue her research.
He Xie felt it was dangerous and told her not to go.
Zhao Keying said it was nothing, she was just going to copy some data back.
Hearing her say that, He Xie stopped trying to persuade her and went to have dinner with Lin Chuchu.
In the school's residential area.
He Xie and Lin Chuchu went into a newly opened hot pot restaurant, wanting to try the food.
The store was extremely popular, packed with people.
There are no seats available in the private rooms.
Having no other choice, the two had to settle for a corner in the hall and sit down.
While waiting for their food, He Xie and Lin Chuchu started chatting and then both looked down at their phones.
There's no way around it; after all, we've been together for almost half a year, and we've talked about everything. The initial passion has inevitably cooled down quite a bit.
These days, when we go out to eat together, it's often just out of habit or companionship.
He Xie looked at his phone for a while and then stopped, listening to the conversations of the people around him out of boredom.
"The freshman competition is about to begin. I don't know how strong this year's freshmen are, but I've heard that they are all quite good and there are quite a few geniuses."
"There are many geniuses here, but Chu Bei and An Ruoli from the all-around class are quite outstanding. The others are just average."
"Isn't there another guy named He Xie? He was incredibly arrogant at the beginning of last semester. He beat several senior students right away, and he also crushed them in the entrance exam, taking first place."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this person. This freshman named He Xie seemed to be quite popular at the beginning of the semester, but he quickly disappeared from the public eye, and I don't know where he went."
"I guess he's a transplant recipient. He impressed everyone at the beginning of the semester by taking advantage of his advanced learning, but then he was quickly caught up."
"It's possible. Look at that guy named Li Liu from our year. Wasn't he like that? He was like a demon king when school started, making all the freshmen in the grade look down on him. But what happened? Now he's just another ordinary person, not even making it into the top 50 of the top 100 list."
"......"
Listening to the casual conversation of these senior students, He Xie was extremely satisfied.
It seems that the low-key approach over the past six months has yielded considerable results.
Putting aside other issues, it has brought him a lot of criticism, leading many senior students to believe that he was just a transplanted person who forced growth and was not worth mentioning.
Good riddance!
If you don't take it lightly, it's not easy to collect contrast values.
He Xie kept thinking to himself as he continued to use all five senses to eavesdrop on the conversations of the students in the hot pot restaurant.
"That girl named An Ruoli from the all-around freshman class is outrageous. This morning, the first day of school, she went to challenge Zhang Luo, who was ranked 66th on the top 100 list. Guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!
"Hey, that's Zhang Luo, ranked 66th on the top 100 list. He was instantly defeated as soon as he stepped onto the stage, without any chance to fight back. Everyone in the stadium was stunned."
"My God, this is too exaggerated."
"To be this amazing in her freshman year, and she's a girl at that, her talent is probably even better than the current student council president, right?"
"When you mention the student council, I'm reminded of a piece of gossip someone told me."
"What gossip?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but the vice president of the student council, that scumbag Zhang Weidong who got the head of the external relations department pregnant when he was a freshman, is now pursuing a freshman named An Ruoli. I heard he's almost become a simp."
"Holy crap? This son of a bitch is trying to ruin some girl again?"
"Did you catch him?"
"Chase him my ass. I heard from my sister that the girl named An Ruoli is He Xie's simp. She only simps for him and keeps all other guys at arm's length, not even giving them a second glance."
"......"
Upon hearing the gossip about An Ruoli, He Xie frowned.
It wasn't because An Ruoli was being chased that she felt unhappy.
It was because the person chasing An Ruoli was actually Zhang Weidong, her substitute.
During the past winter break, whenever he had free time, he used the power of his bloodline, which he had enslaved, to locate Chen Caiqing and repeatedly tracked and investigated her.
During his investigation, he uncovered many traitors hiding within human territory, including Zhang Weidong.
And now, Zhang Weidong has actually turned into a sycophant to pursue An Ruoli.
One is a traitor who has sided with the Divine Plant Cult, and the other is a flower fairy whose race is a demonic plant. It's hard not to wonder if these two have some unspeakable secret.
For example... is An Ruoli also a spy planted by the Divine Plant Cult within human territory?
He Xie pondered for a moment, then quickly resumed eavesdropping on conversations from other places.
"Damn it, the second generation of officials really can do whatever they want!"
"What's wrong?"
"Chu Xiao's son, Chu Bei, underwent another transplant of limbs from a prehistoric alien race during this winter break. I heard that his strength has increased dramatically, and many senior students who spar with him are completely outmatched."
"Stop being so sour. The fact that they can transplant so many limbs from ancient alien races in such a short time is a kind of talent, isn't it? If it were you, no matter how much money you have, it would be useless. You simply couldn't help them."
"If you can't speak properly, then speak less!"
"I heard that the female freshman named An Ruoli is quite amazing. I wonder who is more amazing, Chu Bei or her?"
"Is there even a question? Chu Bei is definitely more powerful! On the path of evolution, girls have absolutely no competitive advantage over boys."
"Heh, girls have no competitiveness? Go ahead and say that in front of Principal Qin! Go ahead and say that in front of An Shen! You guys are really shameless!"
"Isn't what I said true?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll just ask you one question: do you dare to repeat what you just said in front of Principal Qin and An Shen?"
"Why should I say it in front of them? It's enough that I dare to say it in front of you, you stupid woman!"
"Clang—"
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Stop hitting! Stop! Stop now!"
"If you yell at the teacher again, you'll both get a disciplinary action!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"......"
He Xie listened to the commotion coming from the other side of the wall from afar and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
They can argue over such a trivial matter, and even fight over it. That's really going too far.
Soon, the hot pot arrived.
Lin Chuchu put down her phone and started cooking beef with He Xie.
Ah~
Lin Chuchu picked up a piece of beef dipped in sauce and gently brought it to He Xie's lips.
He Xie opened his mouth and ate, and then reciprocated by feeding her a bite as well.
After dinner, the two went out to see a movie.
After watching the movie, I wandered around for a bit.
They strolled around and eventually returned to their dorm. Then, they went into the bathroom together to shower, and after showering, they went into the room together to make out. They did all sorts of things.
More than two hours later, the two of them came out of the room with satisfied expressions and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, He Xie dried Lin Chuchu's hair and said, "It's getting late. I'll dry your hair for you and then take you home."
"But I want to stay here overnight," Lin Chuchu said in a slightly coquettish tone.
He Xie said, "It's only the first day of school, so let's go back to our dorms and share some of the local specialties we brought from home with our roommates to maintain good relationships."
"Otherwise, with you rarely in the dorm, the relationships in the dorm will become too distant."
"Your college life shouldn't just be about your lovey-dovey romance with me; you also need to have your own social life."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Lin Chuchu pouted her rosy cherry lips and then turned to kiss He Xie, looking at him playfully.
He Xie returned the kiss with a kiss, then took out a hairdryer to dry her hair.
After sending Lin Chuchu back to her dormitory, it was already 11 p.m.
Seeing that Zhao Keying had not returned by then, He Xie gave her a call.
"All! All! All..."
I called several times, but each time it just went on and on.
Has something happened?
He Xie frowned, put on his shoes, and was about to go out to the pharmacology room.
But as soon as he opened the dormitory door, his phone started twitching wildly in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhao Keying.
After answering the phone and saying "Hello," Zhao Keying's voice immediately came through.
Zhao Keying: "Why are you calling me so many times all at once? Is something urgent?"
He Xie: "No, I was just a little worried about you since you hadn't come back so late."
Zhao Keying: "What's there to worry about? I'm a grown woman, how could I possibly get lost?"
He Xie: "Last semester, who was it that begged me to pick her up and drop her off at the pharmacology lab?"
Zhao Keying: "That time was that time, and now is now. How can you conflate the two?"
He Xie: "Ah, right, right, right!"
Zhao Keying: "You brat! You're being sarcastic again, aren't you?"
He Xie: "Ah, right, right, right!"
Zhao Keying: "Do you want to die?!"
He Xie: "Ah, right, right, right!"
Zhao Keying: "......"
[The contrast value from Zhao Keying is +9837.]
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Keying sent another message, breaking the silence in the WeChat chat box.
Zhao Keying: "Weren't you worried about my safety? I'm about to go back now, come quickly to the pharmacology room to pick me up and take me back to my apartment."
He Xie: "I won't answer!"
Zhao Keying: "You're something else, He Xie. I've been so good to you all this time, paying for your schooling and even sleeping with you. Now you won't even let me pick you up or drop you off. You ingrate!"
He Xie: "Little Yingzi, how dare you talk to your sugar daddy like that?"
Zhao Keying was furious and said, "You're asking for it! You just wait! I'm going back to my apartment right now to beat you up, just you wait... *smack*!"
"sister?"
Upon hearing the sudden sound of a hard object hitting the ground on the phone, and Zhao Keying's voice abruptly stopping, He Xie couldn't help but ask in confusion.
However, there was no response on the other end of the phone.
There was no sound of speaking, nor the dial tone of someone hanging up.
Yes, there was a dead silence, the phone was still connected, but no one was speaking.
"Oh no, could something really have happened?"
He Xie was very worried. After thinking about this, he immediately put away his phone and rushed to the pharmacology room.
He used the method of flying.
They moved very quickly and arrived at their destination, the pharmacology lab, in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the pharmacology room was completely dark, without a single ray of light.
No one knows if there is anyone there.
He Xie pushed open the door and went inside, his senses wide open as he searched for Zhao Keying's figure.
After searching for a while.
The person wasn't found, but the phone was.
In this internet age where everyone is glued to their phones, no one would carelessly leave their phone lying on the ground.
The only possibility is that Zhao Keying has really been threatened.
"Damn it, I'm such an idiot!"
He Xie slapped his head, mentally giving himself a few polite and gentle self-reproach.
Blood and essence enslavement! Blood and essence enslavement!
With the power of bloodline enslavement as a positioning tool, why bother with opening all five senses on the spot?
Isn't this just plain stupid?
Without hesitation, He Xie immediately activated the effects of his bloodline power.
Soon, a scene appeared deep in his mind.
The scene is in a forest, where Zhao Keying is entangled in several vines like a cicada pupa and being dragged towards the demon plant forest.
"It's the Divine Plant Cult again!"
He Xie cursed and then quickly set off to chase after them.
With the combined effects of Phase Rush and Flying, he quickly caught up with Zhao Keying, who was bound by vines.
Then he drew his Soul-Slaying Blade and with two swift strokes severed the vines binding Zhao Keying, successfully rescuing her.
Although the person was saved, they remained unconscious.
It seems to be poisoned by flowers.
He Xie casually picked up a vine and quickly tied the unconscious Zhao Keying behind him. Then he immediately took his knife and chased after the vine that was frantically fleeing ahead, cutting it down.
These vines retreated very quickly, so quickly that even He Xie, who had successfully evolved to the first level of legendary power during the winter break, couldn't keep up. He could only watch helplessly as they disappeared into the night, feeling quite frustrated.
Why can these vines shrink so quickly?
Could it be that the original body's strength far surpasses that of a legendary level?
He Xie was horrified upon thinking about it, and without saying a word, he turned and ran, not daring to go any further to chase after the vines.
......
After returning to the apartment, He Xie checked on Zhao Keying's condition.
He was just unconscious and there was nothing seriously wrong with him.
Then I turned off the lights and closed my eyes, using my mental power to wipe her body and change her clothes remotely, letting her sleep peacefully for a while, and then asking her what happened when she woke up the next morning.
During this time, he lay beside her, sharing the same bed, while his mind raced with thoughts.
Why did Zhao Keying get attacked by the vines?
Was the killer really a member of the plant cult?
Was it a real attack on Zhao Keying, or was it just a bait to attack me?
Furthermore, the school has Shen Shou, whose biological level is legendary, and three principals whose biological level is epic. Did they not notice anything about what just happened?
This is very wrong!
Something's really wrong with the Mountain and Sea Evolution University!
He Xie was filled with a thousand thoughts, and his suspicions grew stronger with each thought, as if something big was about to happen.
......
