Chapter 223: Chapter 223
Su Something: Senior Sister, you might not believe this, but I feel like I’ve caught the attention of the Flower God from a Demonic Plant recently. To avoid involving my family, I’ve decided to head to Jingdou University earlier than planned.
Su Something: If nothing unexpected happens, I’m probably leaving tomorrow or the day after.
Su Something: Even though I won’t be in Luo City then, maybe my family can avoid disaster.
Su Something: But I’m still worried that the Demonic Plant might act recklessly, regardless of whether I’m in Luo City or not, and just wipe us all out in one swoop.
Su Something: So, I’d like to ask you, Senior Sister, if you have time, please help keep an eye on my family for me. If you do, you’ll be like my real sister!
「Ten minutes later...」
Song Yuqin: Are you serious about what you said?
Su Something: Yeah, it’s true.
Song Yuqin: Alright, I’ll help look after your uncle and auntie, and your three younger sisters as well.
Su Something: Thank you, Senior Sister!
「One minute later...」
Song Yuqin: By the way, I have a question for you. Do you have a sister complex?
Su Something: Uh... well...
「After ending the chat with Song Yuqin.」
Su Yan Devoured the Flower God’s core he was holding, significantly boosting his Attributes.
[Character ability+13%+14%+12%...]
"Feels like I could use something..." Su Yan muttered to himself with an odd expression, feeling a bit parched.
It was likely a side effect from smelling the Flower God’s core earlier; his body had been slightly poisoned.
However, his high Poison Resistance had mitigated many of the negative effects.
After spending some time checking his room and ensuring nothing was amiss, Su Yan stepped out to check the living room for any issues.
After a careful examination, Su Yan found that the house was fine. Other than the intrusion into his own room, nothing untoward seemed to have happened.
It appeared the adversary had a clear target: only him.
As for the rest of his family, the intruder hadn’t bothered with them.
Well, that’s good news...
Just as Su Yan was pondering this, a whimpering cry came from the living room.
It was the cry of the Yingying Grass, full of fear, as if it had encountered something terrifying.
Su Yan quickly approached the living room window and saw the Yingying Grass looking quite dejected.
Its leaves clung tightly to its stem, and the stem was bent over the windowsill, as if it had been badly frightened.
"Xiao Ji, what happened to the Yingying Grass?" Su Yan asked, noticing the Twisted Tree Spirit standing calmly nearby.
The Twisted Tree Spirit knew Su Yan would ask and had already prepared a high-definition recording.
As soon as Su Yan inquired, it immediately presented a leaf with the recorded footage to him.
Su Yan watched the scene unfolding on the leaf: numerous vines were extending into the room through the window, as if trying to deliver something.
One of the vines, for some reason, targeted the Yingying Grass.
It seized the plant’s stem, attempting to uproot and drag it away.
Fortunately, the Twisted Tree Spirit intervened swiftly, driving off the vines and saving the Yingying Grass from abduction.
Seeing this, Su Yan became utterly certain.
He truly had been targeted by the Demonic Plant.
The enemy had already begun to act against him; it was only a matter of time before a Fatal Strike could end his life.
"It seems I should leave for Jingdou as early as tomorrow," Su Yan murmured to himself. He then retrieved a suitcase and began to pack his daily necessities for the trip to Jingdou.
The family of six was enjoying a harmonious time in the living room. Everyone was chatting and laughing, filling the home with happiness.
Just then, Su Yan, sitting in a corner of the sofa, suddenly spoke to his parents:
"Dad, Mom, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning to register at Jingdou University."
Su Yan’s sudden decision completely baffled his family.
The oldest of his younger sisters reacted the fastest, asking with confusion, "Brother, why are you rushing to the university to register?"
Faced with his sister’s puzzlement, Su Yan didn’t tell the truth. Instead, he told a white lie.
"It’s nothing much. The enrollment officer from Jingdou University just told me about a summer training camp for new students and asked me to attend."
"They said a very impressive instructor has returned to the school. The university feels it’s a rare opportunity, and since the instructor happens to be free during this period, they decided to hold a pre-term training for new students."
"I think it’s pretty good; it’d be a huge waste not to go. That’s why I hastily decided to head to Jingdou University tomorrow to register. After all, I can Bai Piao."
Hearing this, Su Yike, although reluctant to see her brother leave for school so soon, couldn’t say much more.
His parents, sitting nearby, had no objections whatsoever. This content belongs to nοvelfire.net
Their son was going to study; it was a wonderful thing.
They were overjoyed, so how could they possibly be reluctant?
After his three younger sisters had gone to study or to bed, Su Yan went to his parents’ bedroom door. He knocked lightly and said, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."
The moment he finished speaking, a slight rustling sound came from inside the room.
Soon after, Father Su opened the door, looking somewhat puzzled. "Son, what’s so important that it has to be said in our room?"
