Chapter 220
The last comic update stopped at the time when they were attending the summer training under teacher Olivia. This time, the comic starts with Gu Hongying successfully graduating from the summer training.
Yingying is worthy of being the male protagonist of the comic. After only one month of hard work, he was able to use his spiritual power to condense a metal cone and carve words on the stone. The characters are clear, the strokes are continuous, the size is consistent, and the spacing is equal. All the requirements are met, except that the characters are unusually square and look like rows of seals from a distance.
[Hahahahaha I fell silent after laughing. This is the first time I see the words "built-in defense shell"!]
[What neat handwriting! I used a ruler to measure it, and the length and width are the same!]
[Others are the writings left on the stone wall, free and unrestrained, Yingying is the horizontal and vertical filling in the blanks [thumbs up.JPG]]
[What are you laughing at! What are you laughing at! We Yingying have worked very hard, okay?! The characters on the seals are not as square as his. The merchants who make seals should come and learn from him. [狗头.JPG]]
This episode opened a new chapter in the comic readers' ridicule of Gu Hongying. When Olivia came to check Gu Hongying's results for the past month, she was faced with boxed words on the stone wall. A speech box full of ellipsis appeared next to Olivia's comic character.
[See, my mermaid wife thinks so too!]
[After changing out of the uniform teacher uniform of Miller Kerr University, this casual outfit looks good too! ]
[Slurp! This dress is beautiful, but I miss Olivia's beautiful abdominal muscles and big tail even more!]
[Me too! Olivia in this episode is so pretty! She seems to be glowing!!]
[Great minds think alike!]
Olivia, who appeared in this episode, was drawn extremely handsome in the comics. Her deep and beautiful eyes were like precious sapphires, and her long and smooth golden hair seemed to have been carefully groomed, casting a layer of brilliant golden light under the sunlight.
Olivia had a faint smile on her handsome face, and she looked extremely charming, like a walking hormone, bewitching the comic readers through the screen.
Yu Tu looked at the beautiful mermaid that took up most of the page, and had the illusion that Teacher Olivia was spreading her feathers like a peacock.
Turning the page, the mermaid, who was so beautiful that she almost glowed, frowned slightly and barely passed Gu Hongying's score. Before Gu Hongying, who was covered in stone powder and dust, could show his happy big white teeth, Olivia announced cruelly:
"The person who will be in charge of your training next month is here. Come with me."
A background of thunder and lightning appeared behind the comic version of Gu Hongying: "...Ah? Don't I have summer vacation?"
"You still want a summer vacation?" Olivia seemed a little puzzled. "It's broad daylight, wake up."
Gu Hongying: “…”
In the comics, he became a line-drawn man without color.
[Hahahahahahahoo: What a bolt from the blue, what a nightmare!]
[I laughed so hard, I thought I was liberated, but in fact I just stepped from one level of hell into another level of hell~]
[I have good news for you. I not only have a summer vacation, but also two more months.]
[Hahahahahaha, after hearing this, Yingying packed up her bags and ran away overnight!]
No matter how shocked Gu Hongying was that he would have to take extra classes next, after his resistance failed and he was suppressed by Olivia, Gu Hongying in the comics could only be dragged away by Olivia with desperate eyes.
The person who conducted the handover with Olivia was a familiar figure to Gu Hongying, and also to the comics readers—the president of Miller College, Xie Jianwei.
A certain line drawing character that had lost its color seemed to lose its color even more after seeing Xie Jianwei. He burst into tears and said, "Are you going to cut the chain again, Principal?"
Except for the one time when Shi Shuo sent Gu Hongying to Kunlun, Gu Hongying was always picked up and dropped off by Xie Jianwei. After a year of getting along with each other, Gu Hongying was no longer as reserved and unnatural as he was at the beginning.
Xie Jianwei was feeding Bella some snacks. Bella was lying on her back on the table with her paws tucked into her abdomen and her wings spread out to the sides, looking extremely comfortable.
"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Gu Hongying: “…”
He sighed sadly, "Okay."
"The good news is that we are not going to Kunlun this time." Xie Jianwei broke the cheesecake into small pieces and fed it to Bella, "The bad news is that your training intensity will be a little higher than this month."
Gu Hongying was about to shed tears: "I'm not a robot, I want a vacation, I will resist——"
"There will be a prize after you pass the training." Xie Jianwei said slowly, "It's the Kunwu Sword."
Gu Hongying, who was half dead just now, sat up in shock from his dying illness, and his tone suddenly changed: "I can!!!"
Xie Jianwei lowered her eyelashes and brushed off the debris on Bella's feathers. She smiled on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Have you thought it through?"
Gu Hongying, who was completely unaware, was still laughing foolishly: "Think it through!"
That's the Kunwu Sword. As long as he passes the training, he can get the sword he has always dreamed of - this is such a blessing from heaven!
Xie Jianwei's fingertips paused for a moment, but soon recovered as if nothing had happened: "Come with me if you've made up your mind."
[Hmm...why do I feel like something is odd?]
[Throwing out such a big temptation, there won’t be a huge pit waiting behind it [Beware.JPG] Oh oh, be careful! ]
[I feel like the principal is weird, but I can’t really tell what’s weird about her? I even feel like she doesn’t want Yingying to get the Kunwu Sword?]
[If you don't want Yingying to get the Kunwu Sword, you don't have to use this as a reward, unless Yingying has a reason to get the sword.]
[Bingying baby, don’t you think the current atmosphere is weird? Can you please stop being so naive like a bunny?]
[Tutu: Who cue me? Who did I offend?]
The pages with the dialogue between Gu Hongying and Xie Jianwei use dark tones, which creates a sense of oppression before a storm, but the people at the center of the vortex are clearly ignorant and unaware.
After these few pages of depression, the comic camera turned to a mermaid standing next to them with hair so delicate that it was almost glowing, and the color tone of the comic returned to warm colors.
[I feel the style of painting suddenly changed here, I am a little uncomfortable with it 23333]
[It was still a conspiracy discussion at the beginning, but it turned into a pink drama in the second—Who is shining? Oh~ It’s Yingying~]
[I think of Bella’s classic quote: I’m ignoring you—I need to use my emoticon pack [Mermaid’s Gaze.JPG]]
Olivia's "little trick" made Xie Jianwei, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, pay no attention. After Gu Hongying decided to participate in the training for the final reward, she took him away without saying a word, leaving the mermaid with a slightly broken smile and the crow with a round belly staring at each other.
Bella turned over and squatted on the table, like a cute little crow ornament. She tilted her head, looking a little cute, but the words she uttered were quite heartbreaking:
"You dressed up for nothing——Weiwei didn't notice——"
Olivia: "Shut up, Bella."
Bella in the comic was forced to shut up, but the readers outside the comic did not shut up. The whole page was full of "Hahahaha", so much that it almost made people suffer from claustrophobia.
After leaving the training ground specially arranged by Olivia, Gu Hongying lived a life of misery. The training was so intense that even a soldier king would have to surrender. The readers were terrified, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
The comics do not go into detail about every day, but every shot shows Gu Hongying training, from day to night and from night to day. The training place that Xie Jianwei found for Gu Hongying has a slower flow of time than the outside world, so one month is equivalent to three months. Comic readers can see that in the comics, Gu Hongying, who often trains until he is sweating profusely, has his naked upper body abdominal muscles becoming clearer and clearer, and his muscle lines becoming smoother and smoother.
[I never thought that one day I would have a gluttonous body! Slurp——]
[Hmm, let me touch your abdominal muscles. They look so good to touch!]
[Aaaaaah, I actually saw handsomeness in silly Yingying! I was stunned by his ability to make a sword appear out of thin air!]
[Fuck! I finally understand why Yingying chose to be a swordsman! It doesn’t matter how strong you are, as long as you are handsome, you will be handsome forever!]
The flow of time slowed down to three months. In the first month, Gu Hongying mainly trained physically and spiritually. In the second month, Xie Jianwei invited people with different attributes to serve as sparring partners for him. Yingying was the instructor and sparring partner who took the beating unilaterally. In the third month, Gu Hongying was able to start fighting back, and his agility and reaction speed increased by more than double.
If Gu Hongying used to be impulsive and reckless, he has become much calmer after this training. Of course, this is only true in front of others. Behind others, he will still hold his mobile phone and send a long “wuwuwu” to his friends.
He is very graceful in front of people and very talkative behind their backs.
In the last match of Xie Jianwei's special training, Gu Hongying gave a perfect answer. Although he was covered in wounds at the end of the final battle, his eyes were bright, and the wildfire of life was burning, bringing countless enthusiasm.
[Once again I was shocked by Tianyan’s painting skills…]
[Yingying’s eyes are so full of life, the corpse looks like it’s been exposed to the sun…]
[Yingying is really like a little sun. Although he sometimes acts impulsively and rashly, he is always full of energy. Even with the amount of training that is scary just by looking at it, Yingying did not back down!]
[Looking resolute in front of others, but sending emojis and emoticons to friends behind their backs. The contrast is really cute!]
[I will always love the little sun!]
On the penultimate page of this chapter, although Yingying himself is unaware, the readers’ love for him is reflected in the words they typed.
The last page of the comic shows Xie Jianwei half-crouching, bandaging the wounds on Gu Hongying's body that cannot be healed by spiritual power for the time being. The final battle takes place on the edge of a cliff. The bleak sun is as bright as blood, and a golden crow falls to the horizon. Gu Hongying stares at the sunset in the sky. The gorgeous sunset is reflected in his eyes, a patch of orange and red. No one knows what he is thinking.
Xie Jianwei treated his wound and explained the whereabouts of the Kunwu Sword that Gu Hongying had been most concerned about: "The Kunwu Sword is being tempered. It will take about another week. When the time comes, I will send the Kunwu Sword directly to Kunlun."
Before participating in this special training which was supposed to last one month but was actually three months, Gu Hongying really wanted the Kunwu Sword - which swordsman would not like a divine sword?
But after the special training ended, his feverish mind calmed down, although the Kunwu Sword still had great appeal to Gu Hongying.
Gu Hongying raised his head and met Xie Jianwei's eyes: "Teacher Xie, what are you hiding from me?"
He had tried hard not to care, but doubts were piling up in his heart, and he was about to explode. Gu Hongying could no longer deceive himself and ignore them, so he said, "Senior Buyehou once called me 'Bai Ze'."
Xie Jianwei's expression didn't reveal any clues, but Gu Hongying continued to speak to himself: "I've always been curious."
He asked this question casually, and it seemed like he was reaffirming the answer he had already received: "You chose me and trained me, just because I am 'Shirazawa'?"
There are many records about Shirazawa in history. The most popular saying is that Shirazawa knows the feelings of all things, knows the affairs of ghosts and gods, and can eliminate all evil spirits in the world. In the textbooks of the underworld, Shirazawa is a wise man who leads mankind and a special beast.
Bai Ze's name was too heavy, so heavy that Gu Hongying felt uneasy.
The last shot of the comic shows the Golden Crows sinking below the horizon, their shadows blending into the deepening darkness.
In the darkness, Gu Hongying heard Xie Jianwei sigh, and she said, "Yes."
All the gifts bestowed by fate have been secretly priced.
