I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 140 - 139: I Wasn’t Serious With You
Chapter 140: Chapter 139: I Wasn’t Serious With You
Even though the mecha had regained its mobility,
Xu Lingjun still went out for a while to avoid arousing Sister Yaya’s suspicions...
He only dragged his weary steps back at the crack of dawn the next day.
His mouth was dry, eyes were dark-ringed, looking as if he’d been drained of energy all night.
The official explanation was that he went out of town.
But in fact, he’d been online gaming all night with that guy Guo Zheng.
Guo Zheng was leaving.
Before leaving, of course the two brothers had to have a good get-together...
They couldn’t drink, that stuff isn’t any good.
What could two grown men do together?
They could only go to the battlefield and game.
Li Lei finally found some time as well.
According to him, Sect Leader Mingri had started to pay special attention to him since the Dragon Gate Examination, frequently inquiring about his cultivation, muttering things like "you’ll regret it," becoming indistinguishable from the crowd.
Plus, Ji Roufeng occasionally showed concern, treating Li Lei as if he were a younger brother, distant yet politely looking after him, and the elder had once overheard Li Lei call her sister-in-law, to which she smiled broadly, clearly pleased.
The elder then mistakenly believed he had connections, so naturally, things became more relaxed for him.
During this time, not to mention a phone, even a computer was within his reach.
The three brothers rampaged on the battlefield, arrogantly losing eleven matches in a row...
There was no helping it, with Guo Zheng around, winning four against six was truly difficult for Xu Lingjun and Li Lei, mere mortals.
But only when gaming would Guo Zheng drop his spoiled rich kid act, constantly calling Father Li, Father Xu...
Usually, it’s just yelling Old Xu, Lei, without any manners.
So Xu Lingjun and Li Lei could tolerate it, after all, having someone flattering you constantly also feels quite nice.
In the end, the battlefield turned into a five-person argument, with the other two strangers accusing Guo Zheng of being a burden, and Xu Lingjun and Li Lei couldn’t just allow anyone else to insult someone from their group.
They exchanged insults and sprays, limited only by time.
If it weren’t for the time, the argument might have turned into a fight, and by then, if the two realized they were facing a high-ranking sect disciple, a Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion student, and a Central City Martial Mansion student, they’d be utterly shocked.
A night of madness.
A tribute to the reckless years and a preparation for a beautiful future.
The next morning, Guo Zheng left.
Xu Lingjun personally saw him off, and afterwards, he also plunged into his busy schedule.
Though there were still two months of free time before school started, he was quite busy.
In the blink of an eye...
Another half a month passed.
Wang Qingya’s vacation had long ended, and Zhong Yuebai had already left Fangyi City seven days ago.
Now, she also had to catch an evening flight back to the city.
So early that morning, she specifically came to find Su Huanqing to have tea together.
Before leaving, best friends always need a good get-together, right...
Of course, it’s bubble tea.
No need to deliberately get herself fat just to lose weight later, but since being with Xu Lingjun, Wang Qingya had been even more mindful of her figure.
She enjoyed sweating it out on gym equipment, but too much sweat could turn her into a skinny monkey, so she needed to accumulate enough fat first.
Compared to her, Su Huanqing was indulging in wild eating and drinking, stuffing all kinds of high-calorie foods into her mouth... Evading spilling food on her chest, the actions were bold and unrestrained.
"You’re leaving tomorrow, and I thought you’d spend the whole day in a lovey-dovey mood with Xu Lingjun today. Can’t believe you came to see me; honestly, I’m touched by our sisterly bond."
In between eating and drinking.
Su Huanqing gulped down half a cup of extra strong sweetened bubble tea, sighed deeply, rubbed her flat belly, and lamented, "If I had such a handsome fiancé beside me, I might as well indulge day and night, not letting him get out of bed."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Qingya gave Su Huanqing a sideways glance, saying, "He has a date today."
"A date?!"
Su Huanqing almost screamed out.
"You know he has a date and you’re not going to shadow him, yet you came to have tea with me... Have you grown tired of playing him?"
"We’re perfectly innocent."
"I don’t believe that."
Su Huanqing scoffed, "You’ve been spending every day together, morning and night; are you telling me no sparks flew between you two?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya sighed, "Not really, it’s just that at those moments, Xiaojun wakes me up harshly."
"Oh, so Xu Lingjun is quite something, huh, staying uninfluenced in the face of temptation. After all, not every man can resist such... allure."
Su Huanqing praised.
Wang Qingya chuckled, thinking to herself, you overthink it; when I say wake-up, I mean it quite literally.
"He’s been really busy lately, writing every day; I don’t even know what he’s working on. Plus, he practices martial skills, almost never leaving the house. All I can do is bring him tea, offer meals, and help with laundry."
Wang Qingya sighed, "I even helped him schedule this date, otherwise who knows how long it would’ve been delayed."
Remembering how Xu Lingjun rushed to the library that morning, as if he had serious business.
Supposedly, he set the meeting place at the library?
Recalling Sun Lingli’s tendency to faint at the sight of books.
Wang Qingya couldn’t help but let her mind wander; is Xiaojun expressing his loyalty to me in this way?
No, no, he said he just wanted to read a bit to recharge himself...
I must be overthinking it.
Meanwhile, Su Huanqing was astonished, looking at Wang Qingya in disbelief, "You’re helping your husband find a girlfriend?"
Wang Qingya said, "Do you think I was joking when I said that earlier?"
"For God’s sake, what are you thinking?"
"I feel like he’s a martial artist with a long lifespan, and I’m in scientific research; you know, in our line of work, the risk of sudden death is high. Plus, I’m much older than him..."
Wang Qingya sighed, "It’s a mix of reasons. Xiaojun is like my little brother; I want to give him all the good things, and introduce him to gentle girls. But for some reason, knowing he’s actually going on a date feels like losing my most precious treasure."
Su Huanqing said speechlessly, "If you keep doing this, he’ll really end up being taken by someone else."
Wang Qingya was just about to argue, then suddenly remembered something, asked, "Why does your tone sound so off when I’m trying to talk seriously with you?"
Su Huanqing replied seriously, "Because I’m not being serious."
Wang Qingya: "........."
She complained, "With an attitude like that, I won’t share Xiaojun with you."
"He’s your treasure, not mine."
Su Huanqing sniffed lightly, yet her cheeks couldn’t help but turn a slight pink... For some reason, she recalled that one time...
Just the bridge effect, only the bridge effect, not real.
I, Su Huanqing, would never take my best friend’s treasure.
While the two best friends were bantering and joking,
Xu Lingjun was busy.
He was seriously studying in the library.
Taking advantage of an unguarded moment, he quietly took out a Transformation Capsule from his pocket.
This was a capsule he had specially empowered with a Talent Source.
Although it cost him 900 points of Origin Value,
the Transformation Capsule was like a storage space for him; such a convenient item was worth redeeming, even if it cost 3000 Origin Value points.
Moreover, he truly couldn’t do without the help of the Transformation Capsule in the library, otherwise how could he reasonably bring things in without being noticed?
