Chapter 140 Can't Be Any More Beautiful

“Hey, out, out, finally out, time to go home~” Accompanied by a cheer from the military camp, An Lu Ming threw down the tablet in her hand and quickly walked out of the camp.

*Plop!*

An You You, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder, fell to the ground as An Lu Ming left.

Even more frightening, An You You didn't even wake up when she fell to the ground, continuing to sleep soundly...

This competition was truly exhausting for these kids.

As soon as An Lu Ming ran out, she saw four "little dirty children" with ash-covered faces walking out of the volcano's other-dimensional space. These four were none other than Jiang Xiao's team. They looked disheveled, resembling refugees fleeing from a famine.

The guarding soldiers offered them military coats and water, wrapping them up without regard for their dirty bodies.

The previously listless Xia Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. She snatched a bottle of room-temperature mineral water and gulped it down.

The way her eyes sparkled at the sight of mineral water was just like love...

In the military camp, several teams of contestants walked out dispiritedly, casting glances of admiration at Jiang Bin No. 1 High School's team.

Fame is never undeserved.

Jiang Bin No. 1 High School's ace team had been anticipated by everyone since before the competition even started. Countless eyes were fixed on them, waiting for their results.

So far, their accomplishments were gratifying.

Even putting aside the final score, just their effort and perseverance alone surpassed everyone else.

Jiang Bin No. 1 High School came out of the volcano's other-dimensional space right on time, enduring the longest in such high-temperature, scorching conditions. This was the best proof of their hard work and dedication.

These few teams of contestants emerging from the military camp were the last batch of students from the volcano. They were all waiting for the final team to return to Earth, waiting to be transported together to the official Jiā City designated hotel for rest.

An Lu Ming cheered joyously, not because she particularly hoped for the safe return of Jiang Bin No. 1 High School's team, but because she could finally leave this awful place and return to the hotel for a nice bath and a good night's sleep.

Jiang Xiao was too lazy to even talk. He didn't know where An Lu Ming got the energy to cheer.

The staff organized the students onto the buses. Everyone was finally able to escape their misery. However, just a few minutes after driving off, a chorus of snores arose, and An Lu Ming's true nature was revealed.

The snoring in front of Jiang Xiao was particularly loud, and he vaguely remembered that An Lu Ming seemed to be sitting in the front seat?

Such a beautiful young lady,

sno- snoring?

Jiang Xiao wondered, but he also drowsily drifted off to sleep.

In fact, Jiang Xiao could have leaned forward to confirm who was sitting in front, but he didn't have an ounce of extra energy left.

Ever since coming out of the volcano and entering the military camp, Jiang Xiao's tense nerves relaxed, and a wave of fatigue washed over him like a tsunami. Jiang Xiao really couldn't resist it and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long it had been, but Jiang Xiao was awakened by Han Jiang Xue. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Han Jiang Xue's dirty face. The girl's brows were filled with exhaustion, which made people feel sorry for her.

"We're at the hotel. Get up and go back to your room to rest." Han Jiang Xue's voice was incredibly gentle, which woke Jiang Xiao up.

What happened?

When did she start speaking so gently?

Could it be...

Okay, she's just tired.

When a cool, aloof young lady is exhausted like a dog, her speech is no longer aloof, no longer floating with an ethereal air. At this moment, her soft words were full of weariness and laziness, carrying an indescribable charm.

"Remember this feeling." Jiang Xiao struggled to sit up. "Please use this tone to talk to me from now on."

Han Jiang Xue was too lazy to even glare at Jiang Xiao. Instead, she took out two Lava Ghoul Witch Star Beads from her pocket and stuffed them into Jiang Xiao's hands, saying, "Go back and absorb the Star Beads, wash up, rest well, and get up quickly."

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head. He did enjoy being cared for like this, but he also knew that a person's tolerance was limited. Obviously, on the bus at this moment, everyone was teetering on the edge.

For example, Wu Hao Yang, who was sitting in the front, had his teammate Qian Zhuang shaking his shoulders while shouting, "Get, get, get, get up, up, up!"

*Bang!*

Wu Hao Yang flipped over and sent Qian Zhuang flying with an iron elbow, slamming him headfirst into the glass on the side of the bus window. The scene was truly tragic.

Jiang Xiao grimaced and appropriately sent Qian Zhuang a Blessing, comforting his injured soul.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, half of Qian Zhuang's body was stuck outside the window, shivering comfortably. In this supremely enjoyable and wonderful situation, he was too lazy to climb out and simply closed his eyes and went to sleep...

He actually fell asleep being soothed!

Goodness gracious,

This is incredible.

There's an old Chinese saying: Where you fall, there you lie.

And now,

Qian Zhuang expressed a sentence with practical actions: Where you get stuck, there you take a nap.

This scene was captured by the camera inside the bus and became a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the growth of these future star warriors who would one day dominate the world.

Jiang Xiao and Li Wei Yi returned to their room and forced themselves to wash up, then promptly blessed themselves a few times to restore their physical condition.

Holding the two Lava Ghoul Witch Star Beads that Han Jiang Xue had given him, Jiang Xiao absorbed them without hesitation.

Adding the two Lava Ghoul Witch Star Beads he had absorbed in the volcano's other-dimensional space, Zhong Ling and Cheng Yin in Jiang Xiao's inner star map had now become Silver Quality Lv.5.

Once the officials compensated him with two more Lava Ghoul Witch Star Beads, Zhong Ling and Cheng Yin would reach Lv.7 and he could immediately upgrade them to Gold Quality. He wondered what special effects they would have after upgrading their quality.

Jiang Xiao thought happily and finally drifted off to sleep.

When Jiang Xiao woke up again, he was awakened by an especially gentle voice.

The gentleness of this voice surpassed that of most midnight adult male broadcasters.

This warm voice, this gentle tone, this coaxing manner...

Jiang Xiao shivered and suddenly opened his eyes, scrambling backwards in panic until he fell off the bed.

The gentle and concerned voice came again: "Little Pi?"

Jiang Xiao's goosebumps stood on end. He opened his sleepy eyes, grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, and struggled to get up, trying to see who it was. He saw a pair of refined and handsome faces, with smiling eyes curved into two crescent moons.

Jiang Xiao asked blankly, "Hai... Hai Tianqing?"

Hai Tianqing looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile, his face full of praise and gratification. "I watched your competition. You did very well. You are excellent."

Of course,

I'm excellent.

Who am I?

I'm the laziest healer in our village.

Jiang Xiao asked blankly, "When did you get here?"

Hai Tianqing said with a smile, "I arrived last night. You've been sleeping for a whole day and night. It's time to get up. The officials will announce the competition results around ten o'clock. The location is the small auditorium, and the awards ceremony will also be held there."

Jiang Xiao, wrapped in a blanket, lay on the ground, looking at Hai Tianqing blankly, looking at his navy blue, well-tailored suit, still looking like he was going to attend a wedding.

Jiang Xiao blinked and asked, "How come you're never there when we're leading the team, but you always show up for the awards ceremony?"

Hai Tianqing scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed it off. "I'll lead the team during the National Competition. I'll lead you guys."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Hai Tianqing felt a little embarrassed and quickly pulled out two Star Beads emitting a faint glow from his pocket and threw them onto Jiang Xiao's bed. "See what these are?"

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up instantly. "Star Beads? What Star Beads?"

Hai Tianqing: "These are the two Lava Ghoul Witch Star Beads that the organizers are compensating you and Xia Yan with. You can distribute them to Han Jiang Xue later. It's not convenient for me to enter the girls' room. Hurry up and wash up, then go wake up your sister."

Jiang Xiao: ???

It's not convenient for *you* to wake her up, but it's convenient for *me*?

You're afraid of getting beaten, but I'm not?

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and looked at the bunk bed opposite him. "Let Li Wei Yi go wake her up. I'm very slow at washing up."

He saw Li Wei Yi lying on his side on the opposite bunk, facing the wall, wrapping himself tighter in his blanket, not saying a word...

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Hai Tianqing finally took out his trump card, pulling a letter from his pocket and saying, "If you wake them both up and get them up on time to attend the awards ceremony, I'll give you this letter."

Before Jiang Xiao could speak, Hai Tianqing pretended to continue, "I'm so curious, who would be writing you a letter?"

Jiang Xiao scratched his head frantically, looking at Hai Tianqing's smiling face. In the end, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand and give Hai Tianqing a Blessing.

Damn it,

I bless you with boundless good fortune!

I'm blessing you with eternal youth!

Hai Tianqing never expected that the Poisonous Milk King would one day extend his clutches to him, so he didn't dodge in time.

"Ugh..."
