Chapter 27
Zhu Changan was frightened by Wilde's behavior and quickly reached out to help him up. "Uh, senior, please get up first. We need to talk things over."
As soon as Wilde made a move, Shen Liuxue had already picked up Mo Xuanji and hidden away, giving her a subtle rub. She looked at Wilde with an expression that said, "Go ahead, let's see what you can come up with."
Wilde held onto Zhu Changan's thighs and refused to let go: "No, you have to promise me first. If you promise, I will get up."
Is this cheating? Zhu Changan looked at his two friends for help.
"Ahem, Senior Wang, what do you want us to do for you?" Shen Liuxue coughed dryly to attract attention.
Wilde's eyes sparkled with hope. He was about to speak when a voice from outside the door interrupted him.
It was a pleasant female voice, gentle and with a strange accent: "Oh, so you're here! It was so hard to find you, Wang Xuedi."
Wilde's face paled as if he had heard something horrifying. His neck jerked like a rusty machine as he turned his head. He forced a stiff smile. "Ha, ha, ha, Senior Yang, what a coincidence! You're here for a walk too."
Senior? A senior from the third or fourth year? Mo Xuanji raised her head and looked towards the door.
I saw a senior student wearing Miao costume standing at the door with a smile on her face. She had her hands behind her back, her eyebrows were curved, and she had a smiling expression on her face.
"She is very strong." Shen Liuxue judged subconsciously.
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Yang Qingyan slowly opened his eyes, his dark green pupils gleaming faintly in the shadows. "Really? How can a patient be so reluctant to seek medical treatment?"
Zhu Changan silently moved Wilde behind him. He could feel Wilde's body tremble with every word the senior student said. Although this guy was not very reliable, as he said, they were still close friends.
Please help me.
Yang Qingyan looked at Zhu Changan and Wilde behind him. Before anyone could react, she appeared in front of Wilde, pinched his chin with one hand, and pulled out a black casserole as big as a human head from behind with the other hand.
In the casserole was stewing a bunch of things that could only be released after mosaics were removed. Bubbles were bubbling in the deep purple soup. As she moved, the bubbles burst, and a skull with wings and a halo on its head floated out of the smoke.
"Junior, this is the medicine I prepared specially for you. Drink it quickly. Your leg will be healed immediately after drinking it~"
Is it really drinkable? I feel like after drinking it, I can go to Meng Po and ask for soup!
"No, no, thank you for your kindness, I think I can recover on my own." Wilde struggled to escape, but he couldn't.
Yang Qingyan seemed hurt, with a sad look on his face: "No, how can I watch my classmate suffer in front of me? Don't worry, I will definitely heal you."
With that, she lifted the pot of medicine and poured it into his mouth. Wilde struggled desperately, tears streaming down his face. A soul-shattering taste exploded on his tongue. In a trance, Wilde entered a revolving lantern.
As for his legs, it's a long story. Back then, Wilde borrowed a speaker from Yang, which could shock the weird—yes, the one he was carrying, playing very tasteful music.
I had thought that with it, this trip would be absolutely foolproof. But who would have thought that I would encounter an SS-level weirdness, and this precious modern technology was destroyed in the weird domain.
At that time, Wilde didn't think twice and went directly to his senior sister to apologize and said that he was willing to pay any compensation.
The senior sister hugged the wreckage and shed tears: "My little Huang, my beloved little Huang, wuwuwu. I don't want compensation, I want your life in exchange!"
After that... let’s not talk about it anymore.
The senior student, having regained her sanity, squatted beside him and counted on her fingers. "Before, you helped me find something, and I lent you Xiao Huang. The two favors canceled out, right? Now you killed my Xiao Huang, and I broke your leg. The two things also canceled out, right?"
Wilde... Wilde didn't dare to say "no", so he squeezed out a "yes" pitifully from between his teeth.
The senior student got a satisfied answer and nodded. Then, as if suddenly awakened, she said, "Oh, junior, how are you injured so badly? Let me help you heal! Remember to repay me in the future~"
Wilde, still naive, nodded, until he saw the pot of unknown object, which was said to be a secret family medicine. So Wilde ran away, but he never expected that he would eventually eat the unknown object.
In the torture of taste, Wilde lost consciousness.
Yang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, tossed Wilde aside, and wiped off the nonexistent sweat. "Ah, it's so hard to get this kid to cooperate with the treatment. He's always busy like a top, never taking his own health seriously. I hate patients like this the most."
"grumble?"
"Hey? Senior..."
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. I'm a senior from your medical department, and this unfortunate fellow is my patient. That pot of medicine just doesn't look good, but it's actually very effective in treating hidden injuries and conditioning the body."
"Ahahaha, so that's it..." Fortunately, it wasn't some kind of vendetta.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Xuanji jumped onto the table nearby, while Shen Liuxue and Zhu Changan worked together to lift Wilde onto the bed.
Yang Qingyan noticed Mo Xuanji, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "A cub? And from the Feather Clan."
"grumble?"
"No, no." Yang Qingyan slapped his forehead. "Why are there cubs in the school? Isn't it said that only adults can enroll?"
"Xuanji is an adult now? He's eighteen." Zhu Changan looked at her in confusion. When filling out the application form for the minor course, Zhu Changan glanced at Mo Xuanji's form and saw that the age column was written as eighteen.
Shen Liuxue suddenly looked up and looked at Mo Xuanji in astonishment.
Mo Xuanji was a little confused by her look: "Ji?" What happened to Eighteen?
"A demon race is considered an adult only when they are one hundred years old." Shen Liuxue looked at Mo Xuanji with a complicated expression. She had thought that Yan's constant calling of "little cub" was a term of endearment for the younger generation, just as in the eyes of a grandfather, a grandson is still a little grandson even after he has established a family and a career.
The growth cycle of demons is very long, and their mental and magical powers develop slower than humans. However, Mo Xuanji is no different from an adult demon now.
"Ah? You demons only become adults when you're a hundred years old?" Zhu Chang'an was stunned for a moment, his mind wandering to something else: "Then doesn't Ji Sheng have to be older than my grandfather?"
Mo Xuanji quietly poked the system in his consciousness: "What's going on? My humanoid is an adult, and the physical examination can't find any problems."
"The demon race is special. The human body and the demon body are calculated separately. Physiological adulthood is based on the demon body." The system explained.
"Forget it. If you can enroll, there will definitely be no problem." Yang Qingyan looked at Mo Xuanji, crossed his fingers and made a wishing gesture: "Little brother, can I ask you for a favor? Please, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. We will definitely protect your demon body."
"Ji?" What help? Mo Xuanji was about to type when she saw her wave her hand.
"It's okay, I understand. I'd like to ask you to assist us in investigating a case." After saying that, Yang Qingyan looked at Zhu Changan and Shen Liuxue: "You are a team, right? Then there's no need to avoid it."
After saying this, Yang Qingyan took out his special ability identity card, which also had the team code on it. This kind of identity card can only be obtained after joining an official organization. In other words, Yang Qingyan was now asking for help from them as a public official.
"Ji?" Tell me, what case? Mo Xuanji was a little curious about what case needed his help in this form.
"I'd like to ask you... no, you all, to help investigate a missing demon cub case."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
Who doesn't know how much the demon race values their young? The probability of a demon race conceiving offspring is low; in a hundred years, each tribe rarely produces more than a hundred. Touching a demon's young is like cutting off the demon's lifeblood, and the consequences will inevitably be met with fierce retaliation.
Who is so brave?
"The case of a missing demon cub?" Shen Liuxue asked in astonishment, "Has a demon cub disappeared recently? But considering how much the demons value their cubs, there shouldn't be any news at all, right?"
"Those human traffickers even dare to steal the demon cubs?" Zhu Changan was horrified.
Mo Xuanji lowered his head in thought.
Yang Qingyan shook his head. "Those aren't ordinary human traffickers. Although the cubs are weak, they have some ability to protect themselves. They can't be kidnapped by ordinary people. And we detected a strange aura at the place where the cubs disappeared."
Mo Xuanji wondered, is this like someone offering a pillow when you're sleepy? The missing cub case might seem like a separate incident at first glance, but don't forget, the Dream Demon is the juvenile form of the Nightmare Clan, also a cub.
What's more, there are strange tricks involved in this matter.
"You want me to be bait, right?"
"Yes." Yang Qingyan sighed. "In fact, we really have no other choice. We tried to use illusion to disguise ourselves as cubs to lure them into the trap, but we were always seen through. The demon tribe also keeps a close eye on the cubs and are unwilling to put their own cubs at risk..."
As if realizing her words had been misinterpreted, she quickly explained, "Don't worry, we won't actually put you in danger. We've already made thorough preparations."
As he spoke, Yang Qingyan pulled out a bunch of strange little things from his storage bag: "This is the positioning Gu, this is the substitute Gu, and this is the sound transmission Gu... We will send enough manpower to protect you. Your mission is to infiltrate the enemy's home base as a positioning Gu and help us find those abducted cubs. Our people will follow the positioning Gu and find you. When the time is right, I will activate the substitute Gu to replace you."
Mo Xuanji pondered for a moment: "Okay. I agree."
"We have no problem and can cooperate with the operation at any time."
Yang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you. I owe you a favor this time. I will submit the transfer application to my superiors tonight. If it is approved, I will come to see you."
Mo Xuanji nodded.
