Chapter 225: Chapter 225

6:00 a.m. on a Sunday.

Su Yan rose early to wash up, then went out to buy a case of Weed Killer, which he stored in his System Backpack.

He figured that since he was now being targeted by the Demonic Plant, he had to be prepared for an attack at any time in the near future and definitely needed some trump cards.

Weed Killer, capable of inflicting devastating damage on plants, was the perfect counter to Demonic Plants and thus became his trump card. If used effectively, he could even defeat higher-level Demonic Plants with it. He still vividly remembered annihilating the Legendary Level Strange Flower in the Luo City No.1 Gymnasium. Therefore, he had immense faith in Weed Killer.

After packing his luggage at home, Su Yan went to the living room and gave special instructions to Twisted Tree Spirit and Yingying Grass. He instructed them to be vigilant for any unusual occurrences in the house. Should an emergency arise, they were to do their utmost to protect everyone inside.

After giving these instructions, Su Yan left home dragging his small suitcase, accompanied by his parents and sisters.

"Xiaoyan, how about Dad drives you there? I’m off today anyway," Father Su offered, wanting to personally escort his Top Scholar son to Jingdou University.

Hearing his dad’s offer, Su Yan didn’t hesitate to decline. "Dad, it’s a rare weekend. You should stay home and rest. Luo City is a good thousand kilometers from Jingdou. Driving there and back would be too exhausting for you. It’s more convenient for me to take the high-speed rail."

Hearing his son, Father Su smiled, gratified, and said, "Alright then, be careful on your journey, and call home if anything happens."

"Sure, I will, Dad." Su Yan nodded in understanding.

As soon as they finished speaking, his elder sister, Su Yike, immediately chimed in, her voice tinged with reluctance, "Bro, you should come home often."

"Okay, I’ll come home when I have the chance," Su Yan replied with a gentle smile, clearly doting on his elder sister.

Witnessing the affectionate exchange between her older brother and sister, Second Sister Su Erke jumped in to make her presence known. "Su Yan, when you get to Jingdou University, you better be a bit flamboyant! Don’t you dare embarrass me, you hear?"

As Su Erke spoke, she adopted a comically serious demeanor. To an unknowing observer, she might have seemed like the family’s ancient matriarch—the Tianshan Tonglao type, who, regardless of her actual age, always maintained a youthful appearance.

Su Yan hadn’t planned on engaging with his second sister, but the moment she mentioned "face," his hands started to itch. Without a word, he walked right up to her, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and expertly pinched her chubby cheeks with both hands.

While pinching her cheeks, he said, "Ah, this feels great! I have to make the most of this chance to squish Erke’s chubby cheeks."

"Mom, look! Su Yan is bullying your darling daughter again! Quick, scold him for me!" Su Erke, thoroughly exasperated and pouting, immediately tattled to their nearby mother.

After satisfyingly squishing her cheeks for a while, Su Yan grabbed his suitcase and left, heading to the Luo City High-speed Rail Station.

Just then, Little Beans, who had been forcibly woken by Mother Su to see her brother off, suddenly burst into tears. "WAAAH!" she cried. "BOO HOO HOO... Susu Guo, I’m gonna miss you... and your cappuccino..."

Little Beans was halfway through her sentence when Su Yan, feeling a tug at his heartstrings, considered turning back to give her a brotherly hug. But when he heard the final word, "cappuccino," he bolted without a second glance.

I think of you as my little sister, and you think of me as a walking vending machine! That’s just too much, Little Beans!

「Luo City High-speed Rail Station.」

Su Yan entered the waiting area alone. He appeared empty-handed. He had stowed all his luggage in his System Backpack shortly after leaving home.

A glance revealed the waiting area to be nearly deserted. It was still quite early, so few people were departing at this hour.

Su Yan looked around for a moment. His gaze soon fell upon a girl sitting in a corner.

The girl’s outfit was quite sexy. She wore a thin, translucent off-shoulder camisole. Below, a tight-fitting wrap skirt barely reached her upper thighs, and her full, fair legs were encased in smooth black stockings. Further down, her feet were clad in coffee-colored ankle boots. The ensemble made her appear buxom, slim-waisted, and long-legged—effortlessly drawing eyes.

Su Yan walked directly over to the girl and sat beside her. "When did you get here? And why are you dressed so revealingly?"

"Huh? Master, how did you recognize me? I thought my disguise was perfect!" Jiu Li exclaimed, her beautiful eyes wide with puzzlement.

Heh, naturally, it’s because I have the ’Knowing each other’ cheat, which lets me see your stats... Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel※fire.net

With this thought, Su Yan retorted, "Who else in this world besides you, Jiu Li, would dress so flamboyantly?"

Hearing this, Jiu Li pouted her cherry-red lips and grumbled, "Master, you’re so mean! I’m not flamboyant; I’m going for a pure and innocent style!"

"Heh." Su Yan merely chuckled skeptically.
