Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Ding Dou’s words inexplicably sent a chill down Ding Yu’s spine.

She thought Ding Dou had found out about the poison she gave to the dorm leader.

But on second thought, that was absolutely impossible, as everything was calculated and proceeding step by step in secret.

Ding Dou was just speaking childishly and offhand.

She forced a smile: ”Silly boy, you’re overthinking it. I’m being spoiled by your brother-in-law now, where do I have the time to meddle in other people’s business? Besides, isn’t it well-known that her superpower has stagnated? That plant-based power is a useless power. She’ll definitely fail the exam and be advised to leave school. For someone with no future, do you think I would care?”

Ding Dou retorted angrily, ”Sister Xin is not a wasted superpower!”

Really, why was he arguing with Ding Yu over this? This was truly childish.

Ding Yu smiled: ”Alright, you are my brother, not her brother. With your brother-in-law around, not only will I definitely pass, but if you make a mistake, I can also plead for you. After all, you are my own brother, and can be considered a family member of the mentor, right?”

Ding Dou bit his lip and didn’t respond.

He wanted to pass by relying on his own hard work and strength, not by taking such an unscrupulous backdoor.

His gaze fell on Qin Xin, who had already boarded the helicopter, and Ding Dou couldn’t help but worry. If Sister Xin’s superpower really couldn’t be used as his sister said, what would happen?

His strength was too weak, even his worry seemed so pale and powerless, sigh.

Clenching his small fist tightly, he decided to train diligently to protect the people he wanted to protect.

As the helicopter dropped the students into different areas, the exam officially began.

Although everyone’s strength had improved significantly since they enrolled, without the cooperation and help of their companions, the difficulty of the exam actually increased geometrically.

As night fell, many students who had not yet hunted a spirit beast timidly climbed up lush trees to rest for the night before continuing the next day.

After all, there were far fewer birds than beasts, and even fewer birds that were adept at attacking humans, so it was relatively safe in the trees.

Qin Xin was among the few still traversing the forest.

She wasn’t really in a hurry to hunt.

Instead, she discovered that in this area, the medicinal herbs were particularly lush.

Hmm... Many varieties, astonishingly, were only documented in medical books but had long been extinct.

As a practitioner of medicine, this greatly piqued her interest.

So after entering the jungle, she hadn’t caught a single spirit beast but had instead collected a rucksack full of herbs.

Little Dongju was a bit sulky: ”Master, have you fallen for other flora and no longer pamper me?”

Qin Xin: ”Hmm? Not at all.”

Little Dongju: ”But... you’ve brought them home, are you planning to keep them?”

Qin Xin: ”Hmm, let’s try it.”

Little Dongju: ”Wah, so I’m no longer your only cherished flower.”

Little Ginger Snake twisted its tiny body up: ”Little Yellow, your thinking is wrong. Why should the master pamper only you? Just as long as everyone is treated equally under the rain and dew. I’ve never monopolized the master, that’s true love. Right, master?”

Little Dongju protested: ”I’m not called Little Yellow!”

Little Ginger Snake smiled mischievously: ”Hehe, you can be called Big Yellow too.”

Little Dongju was incensed: ”... Master, master, this little rascal snake is bullying me!”

Qin Xin suddenly extended a slender finger, placing it on her lips: ”Shh.”

The two little treasures fell silent.

In the darkness, only the sound of fierce wind could be heard, as if some ferocious beast was lurking, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Qin Xin squinted, looking towards the pitch-black deep forest.

In the midnight forest, besides an occasional cry from some unknown night bird, there was only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind.

But the wind now was unusually eerie and rapid, faintly mixed with rough panting sounds hidden within.
