Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 640 - 63: Toiled All Night for Nothing
Wang Yunxiao got up at 4 o’clock in the morning to start his daily, relentless physical training.
After all, he wasn’t a practitioner of immortal cultivation, who could live forever by meditating daily and absorbing the all-powerful nature’s spiritual energy.
Muscles are built through exercise; you won’t get a good body by slouching on the couch playing with your phone all day.
When he first transmigrated, he stood merely 1.6 meters tall, emaciated and all skin and bones due to long-term malnutrition.
Now, barely half a year later, he had shot up to 1.72 meters, with his weight increased by almost twenty kilograms, making him taller and more robust than many teachers at the school.
So, you couldn’t blame He Lan for eyeing him with yearning; which girl wouldn’t be dazzled by such a well-built body?
Of course, at this point, such training no longer meant much to Wang Yunxiao; it was more about him deliberately maintaining this habit.
Last night Youtiao and the others came back exhausted but incredibly excited, suggesting they had a great haul. By that time, Wang Yunxiao had already gone to bed, so he didn’t ask for details.
This morning, he had just completed less than a hundred push-ups when he saw Youtiao running over in a fluster.
"Big Brother! We’ve been cleaned out!"
"Calm down, take your time and explain."
The word "dish" has two meanings in the Jianghu World: when referred to simply as "dish," it means face, as in a beautiful girl with good looks and a shapely figure.
If "dish" is modified with an adjective, it refers to a deal or merchandise. For example, in the future, talking about the stock market would involve the "big dish," and scouting or setting up would be called "stepping on a dish."
Being "cleaned out" suggests the meaning of dining and dashing, meaning someone snatched the goods they had on hand.
"Yesterday, we managed to get a Flying Dragon..."
"With so many of you out there, you only got one Flying Dragon?"
"It’s not the mushroom-stewing kind!"
Youtiao flailed around in urgency: "A Dragon! The kind that flies, as big as an elephant, weighing thousands of pounds! It’s got incredible vitality; even after decapitating it, the head can grow back, and we struggled hard to finally kill it!"
Wang Yunxiao immediately understood.
Regardless of whether the Flying Dragon Youtiao mentioned was the same kind of dragon he was thinking of, the sheer weight of several thousand pounds was definitely significant. Based on the conversion ratio previously given by Teacher Liu, it could certainly be considered a windfall.
No wonder he was so anxious.
"And then?"
"We hid it in the air-raid shelter when we came back, planning to tackle it today, but when we woke up this morning, such a huge creature had vanished without a trace—not even leaving behind a single hair!"
No wonder they said they had been cleaned out.
"Did you report it to Teacher Bai when you came back?"
"Uh..."
Youtiao was instantly hesitant.
"Big Brother, we aren’t exactly close with Teacher Bai."
The disappearance of a Flying Dragon’s carcass from an underground air-raid shelter within just a few hours was clearly not the work of an outsider.
And within the school, there just happens to be one who fancies dragon meat sashimi.
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself there’s nothing to be done then. You guys have been keeping busy for half the night for nothing, without even managing to butter up the leaders above.
"Raw or cooked aside, you brought back such a huge thing and hid it in the school without reporting to the teachers, they couldn’t possibly ignore it, could they?"
Youtiao smacked his forehead in frustration and said: "It’s all my fault, I was too tired last night and it didn’t occur to me."
Before, he used to hide behind Wang Yunxiao and serve as quartermaster, whenever there was something that required making decisions, it would be big brother’s headache; all he needed to do was to arrange the brothers. Now that he was calling the shots himself, he realized that being the big brother wasn’t so easy.
There’s a limit to one’s energy; you can’t cover your head without leaving your butt cold.
Wang Yunxiao earnestly explained: "You need to understand why we have the opportunity for such trials. It’s not because we are incredibly awesome, but because the school hopes that we can strengthen ourselves, which is why the Special Service Bureau opened up a special passage for us. The President gave us room, turning a blind eye to our side hustles."
"Why were we able to strut around the streets in those outfits with arrogance before? Do you think you’re the President’s son? That’s because at that specific time and situation, the higher-ups needed a knife to cut through the situation. We were just rightly positioned and took the initiative to do things that were suitable, that’s all."
"Now that our knife is sharpened, if we’re told to sheathe it, we should obediently comply. If you insist on having your own way and think about chopping around wildly, what use is a knife that doesn’t obey? Once they’ve sharpened a new knife, we might just end up as the whetstone."
Youtiao spread his hands and said, "Big brother, I understand all the logic you’ve laid out, but the brothers were just thinking of training. Nobody knew that the sky would drop a pie, and we just happened upon this thing!"
"What exactly happened yesterday? Tell me everything from start to finish."
Actually, the process was not complicated at all, Youtiao finished explaining in just a few sentences.
An unknown change appeared in the Thousand-Year Dynasty World.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t know if this was good or bad, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I’ll go ask Teacher Bai and see if I can secure some benefits for the brothers. Remember next time not to always go for the whole hog. Hogging everything easily earns you hatred, you don’t want to become the next Shen Jianzhen, do you?"
Youtiao nodded again and again.
In fact, it wasn’t necessary to deliberately search for the culprit, as Wang Yunxiao’s nose was very sensitive; upon entering the academic building, he smelled the strong scent of blood.
It’s said that if a person eats three cloves of raw garlic, they can create a unique aura within a one-meter radius centered on themselves.
Now, someone had eaten several thousand pounds of dragon meat raw.
When Wang Yunxiao knocked and entered the door, he saw Bai Shanshan leisurely picking her teeth with a mirror.
"Teacher Bai..."
"Something the matter?"
"Nothing, just wanted to ask if you need me to buy some digestive tablets for you."
"Do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Bai Shanshan gave Wang Yunxiao a cold glance; she wasn’t very familiar with him and hadn’t interacted much before.
But considering that he took the initiative to seek her out, at least she found his courage commendable.
"Didn’t anyone tell you that you can’t just casually bring back a Giant Dragon’s corpse to the Real World?"
"Indeed, no one did."
Wang Yunxiao smiled frankly, "Teacher Liu never mentioned this before he left; could you perhaps enlighten me on this matter?"
"Tsk..."
Bai Shanshan pursed her lips, clearly somewhat reluctant. But with her personality, she couldn’t deny and pretend brazenly.
