Chapter 8: Things Got Out of Hand
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was dusk, and it was time to go home.
Today, there was still no one at home. Lin Bai's parents had disappeared as usual, and he did not know where they had gone.
Lin Bai's phone was forcefully taken by Su Zi, so he had no choice but to buy a new one.
He plugged in his SIM card and realized that his father had called him a few times.
Lin Bai immediately called back.
"Hello? Dad?"
In the end, a female voice came from the other end. "Baby, are you home?"
"Yup." Lin Bai recognized his mother's voice. "Mom, where did you guys go?"
"I'm having a honeymoon with your dad. We won't be going back tonight. I've left some money on the table. Go out and buy something to eat. Be good~"
"Toot, toot..."
The call was hung up.
"..."
Lin Bai took a deep breath, feeling helpless.
'You sold the house, and yet you're spending your honeymoon now...
'Aren't you guys worried about where you're going to live?'
He looked up at the ceiling, a little depressed.
"I wonder when Su Zi usually starts cultivating."
Thinking of this, Lin Bai opened the system interface to see if there was any related information.
[Current number of contracts: 1]
[Contract target: Su Zi ]
[Cooldown time: 29 days]
...
'Great, there's nothing.'
It seemed that this matter could not be settled in one step and could not be rushed.
Lin Bai stretched lazily and did not mind.
There was still some time before the exam anyway, so he was not in a hurry.
Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from his good friend.
There were no words, only a link.
"Don't tell me it's another porno..."
Lin Bai immediately typed: [I'll never fall for that kind of stupid trick again in my life! Give up, Kun!]
Xu Kun quickly replied: [Calm down! This is a link to a post on the campus forum! Big Bai, you're famous!"
'Famous?
'What's going on?'
Lin Bai opened the link and…
He was instantly shocked!
In the school forum, half of the top ten hot topics were about him and Su Zi!
Trending topics:
1. [Shocking! The campus belle from the First Academy did this with a strange man in the swimming pool...]
2. [In broad daylight! The campus belle's bra has fallen into the hands of the opposite sex. Is it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?]
3. [The campus belle is taken. How many people are heartbroken like me?]
4. [Plan to get the campus belle.]
5. [The little devil also needs a man's chest!]
...
"This ..."
Lin Bai did not know what to say.
He had not expected this.
He had only signed a contract, yet it had caused such a huge commotion.
The Fifth Academy's forum was exploding.
It was probably the same for the other academies.
Lin Bai clicked on the most popular topic and took a casual look.
The comment with the most likes had been pinned to the top and received the approval of many people:
[No one has ever dared to share a swimming pool with Beauty Su at the same time. Now, not only did someone use it, but he also held her bra... I don't need to explain what happened, right?]
Lin Bai's lips twitched. He wanted to clarify the matter, but he did not know what to type.
'This is f*cking…'
To be fair, the stories made up by this group of people were very logical.
How was Lin Bai going to clarify things?
Would he say that he had nothing to do with Su Zi?
Who would believe that?!
For the first time, Lin Bai experienced the feeling of not being able to explain himself.
As he scrolled further down, there were also many irrational replies.
Most of them were envious monsters, wailing that someone had beat them to the campus belle, and so on. Their words were meaningless.
There were also people who were trying to stir up trouble, guessing what Lin Bai and Su Zi had done. Those people wanted to attract attention.
Putting all these aside, the most popular rumor was that Lin Bai was in a relationship with Su Zi.
It was obvious...
This had become a big deal.
When the time came, Su Zi would definitely find trouble with Lin Bai.
She would probably make a move even before the major exam.
"Ah..."
Lin Bai was even more depressed.
He threw his head back and slumped into the sofa, not even in the mood to eat.
...
At the same time, in the Su family's courtyard.
In Su Zi's bedroom, the floor was in a mess.
There was debris everywhere after she had smashed valuable items.
A few maids cowered outside the door, not daring to get close. They nervously watched their miss fly into a rage.
"I'm so angry!
"I'm so angry!"
Su Zi clenched her hand as she clutched her phone tightly in her palm. Looking at the various filthy comments and rumors on the school forum, she could not help but use all her strength.
Bam!
The phone was crushed.
It was twisted and thrown into a corner.
However, Su Zi was still not satisfied, and she madly smashed everything that could be seen.
At this moment, the alarm clock on the bedside table rang.
An ear-piercing sound was heard.
This should have made her even more agitated, but Su Zi quickly calmed down.
She took a look at the time and took a deep breath to calm her chaotic breath. Then, she called out to the maids outside in a cold tone.
"Where's the medicine?"
"Third Miss, it's here ..."
Immediately, someone stepped forward with an exquisite jade box in her hand.
When the box was opened, there was only a small pill surrounded by mist.
Su Zi did not hesitate and immediately popped the pill into her mouth.
She was served warm water.
The medicinal power quickly spread in her stomach, forming a strong force that swept through her body, helping her to temper her body.
Taking medicinal pills was considered a shortcut for those who cultivated martial arts to improve their physical fitness.
The improvement was much more obvious and rapid than any kind of training.
Under normal circumstances, the stronger the medicinal power, the more money it would cost, and the better the effect.
With the Su family's financial resources, in order to raise their precious daughter who had the Body of Medicines, they would use the best medicinal herbs in Base City.
Complemented with a master's technique, medicinal pills were refined by gathering the essence of heaven and earth.
They were ten times better than the genuine Vim and Vigor Pills that even civilians could consume.
Ordinary families could not afford to enjoy them at all.
However, Su Zi could enjoy them, and she had them every day!
That said, the stronger the medicinal power, the more painful the tempering process would be.
As Su Zi's meridians and muscles were attacked by waves of violent power...
She could not help but groan, but she did not make a sound. She stubbornly gritted her teeth and waited for the medicinal power to run out.
This wait lasted for more than 10 minutes ...
After the excruciating pain, Su Zi's consciousness was a little blurry.
She lay limply on the soft bed, no longer as energetic as she was when she was smashing things earlier. She took deep breaths.
Small black dots appeared on her fair skin.
These were the impurities that were expelled after tempering the body.
The maids outside the door immediately went in and began to clean up the mess for her. They also filled the bathtub with warm water.
After everything was taken care of, most of the people left silently, leaving only 2 people carrying new bedding.
Su Zi slowly opened her eyes, and her aura grew stronger.
Although she did not break through, her strength had improved.
Especially in terms of strength.
The pill that was sent this time specialized in improving her physique.
It helped her to break through a small bottleneck.
In the future, whenever she trained, it would be an even smoother process.
She clenched her little fists, and Lin Bai's figure appeared in her mind.
"B*stard..."
