Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin thought to herself, if she could quickly gather the large Spiritual Pearls, she would open the Time Gate to return to the Imperial City first, and give the remaining pearls to this honest kid as leverage for the exam.

After all, she had no interest in the Divine Academy.

Though she had many identities, she was ultimately a healer.

Little Douding: ”Sister Xin, may I be so bold as to ask about your abilities? I just saw you kill the wolf so impressively... I’ve never seen such a quick technique...”

Qin Xin’s lips twitched slightly: ”Abilities... does gardening count?”

Little Douding awkwardly scratched his head: ”I don’t think so, never heard of that...”

Does gardening count as a special ability?

Qin Xin casually said, ”Since animals have spirituality, shouldn’t the plants in this world have spirituality too?”

She touched a petal of a Dongju flower she carried with her and recalled her first day of rebirth, it was these frozen Dongju petals that tripped Yao Dazhuang and others, causing them to slip down the icy steps of the Ice Lake, hitting their heads.

On her first day back in the classroom, it was also these lovely petals that attracted the caterpillars to the desks of Yu Xiaochun and Yao Dazhuang.

Do the petals really lack spirit?

Regardless, she had always carefully tended to those little Dongju treasures for Lan Qingxin, and she felt they were very well-behaved and sensible.

Suddenly, that small voice echoed in her ear: ”Yes, yes, master, I’m truly very obedient and amazing!”

What the heck...

Qin Xin thought she was hearing things.

Or perhaps Little Douding was speaking to her.

But, looking up, Little Douding was walking ahead of her, seemingly protecting her from danger: ”Sister Xin, should we take another path?”

Qin Xin’s expression remained calm, her steps unhalting: ”Didn’t you say this way was the most promising to encounter larger spiritual beasts? Why change the path?”

Little Douding: ”Sister Xin, the people ahead are not to be messed with, they are the strongest from group 1, all of them are rich second-generation kids...”

There were over a hundred people taking the entrance exam, divided into 10 groups.

Little Douding was in group 10, composed of struggling students.

And group 1, as indicated by its number, consisted of children with extraordinary backgrounds.

Their abilities had either already awakened, making them quite powerful, or their families were very influential, wanting them to make a mark at the Divine Academy.

If they were lesser skilled rich second-generations, they’d have paid their way out of the exam long ago, not risking their lives here.

Little Douding recognized the group 1 people, fearing they would realize Qin Xin had a full 6 Spiritual Pearls and get greedy to rob her.

Thus, he suggested avoiding them.

But, Qin Xin extended her hand, grabbed his collar and pulled him behind her: ”Stay close to me.”

Little Douding trembled: ”Sister Xin, aren’t we avoiding them? They are truly not to be messed with...”

Qin Xin: ”I’ll confront whoever I want, regardless of how dangerous they are.”

If you don’t want to die, stay out of her way.

Little Douding’s breath caught, shaking uncontrollably, yet he mustered the courage to follow behind Qin Xin, unwilling to let Sister Xin be bullied by them alone.

The two quickly reached where group 1 was stationed according to their planned route.

Two students guarding the path arrogantly blocked them: ”Who are you? Don’t come any closer, walk around! Don’t you see our group is hunting?”

Qin Xin replied calmly, ”We are hunting too.”

The other party sneered: ”You can settle for a rabbit or squirrel, can you compare with our group 1? Our Young Master Jing is hunting a Silver Bear with his team!”

Silver Bear?

Sounds like a big target.

Qin Xin’s eyes narrowed with interest.

Qin Xin turned to Little Douding and asked, ”How big is the Spiritual Pearl of a Silver Bear?”

Little Douding stammered, ”About... about the size of a quail egg.”

Qin Xin nodded thoughtfully: ”Seems like one isn’t enough. How many bears are up ahead?”

Little Douding scratched his head: ”Silver Bears usually appear in pairs or as families. So, maybe... at least 2?”

The thoroughly ignored guard fumed with anger: ”4! There are 4! Two big, two small, and our Young Master Jing is leading the team to take them down right now.”
