Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 769: Chapter 749: Finally Came Out

Luo Qianqian walked out the door, completely bewildered. Which way was she supposed to go? Where was her room? Where did she need to go?

”Follow me,” a deep voice spoke up.

Luo Qianqian, with a confused look, eyed the person before her. She was wearing an enormous black cloak, her appearance and even her figure indiscernible. The only clue to her companion’s identity was the voice that suggested a man.

Gratefully, she hurried to keep up with him, harboring a slight puzzlement about the figure ahead, yet she did not voice it, simply following closely behind him.

The person in front evidently had no desire to talk, so why bother annoying him?

Walking quietly down the lengthy corridor, Luo Qianqian still couldn’t help but marvel. Could this wide, long corridor actually accommodate a hundred-meter race?

”This way.” The figure in the black robe pointed at a door and then continued forward without looking back.

Luo Qianqian hurriedly said, ”Thank you.”

The robed figure didn’t pause, increasing his speed instead of slowing down and quickly leaving her behind.

Touching her head in confusion, Luo Qianqian wondered, Was she really that scary? Enough to frighten someone off?

She pushed the door open, only to see that the room was very clean and organized. The furnishing was quite simple, with a bed, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe as the only furniture. On the desk, there was a small white vase filled with deep red, pink roses, cherry blossoms, and lavender. Luo Qianqian blinked; although she had never seen such a bouquet before, she had to admit that the colors looked pretty together.

She smiled softly, sitting on the bed. She didn’t feel tired at all, so she took out a book from her backpack and started reading quietly.

As she read, her brow furrowed tightly. She began to recall the moment before she fainted. Wasn’t it because of all these bizarre things? And this ”spiritual power”...

Luo Qianqian frowned. The reason for his immense spiritual power might be due to rebirth, so Qin Nuan’s spiritual power should also be attainable, right?

What exactly was the method of awakening these abilities? Luo Qianqian frowned deeply, baffled.

She didn’t meditate or sleep anymore, just quietly read the book to ensure that if the book was ever lost, she could remember its contents.

The more she read, the more puzzled she became. These were clearly very ancient matters, yet why did they feel like scams now? If she hadn’t inexplicably understood the content of the first section, she would have really thought she was being tricked.

Not knowing how long she had been reading, Luo Qianqian eventually stretched lazily, packed her backpack, and went out again, looking blankly around the corridor. Fortunately, although there were many rooms, the pathway was straightforward, causing Luo Qianqian to blink. Was nobody going to care about her now? Could she just leave?

But before leaving, she could still ask Jimo Xiao for a gift. Casually finding her way, she quickly reached the basement.

Seeing Jimo Xiao seriously engaged in something, she didn’t feel right interrupting, so she moved to the side to quietly observe the wall, flipping out a coin and starting her usual wall-scratching.

Jimo Xiao knew Luo Qianqian had come down the moment she arrived. After all, there were so many stairs, and Luo Qianqian hadn’t tried to mute her footsteps, which sounded different from an adult’s—light and quick—so he recognized them immediately.

”Little girl, ready to go home?” Jimo Xiao put down what he was handling and turned to look at Luo Qianqian’s wall-scratching antics, his face showing a hint of resignation. ”Do you really have to be this bored?”

Luo Qianqian immediately put away the coin, giggling, ”Yep, I still have to attend class, and I can’t stay here forever watching those weirdos, can I?”

Jimo Xiao thought about it. Luo Qianqian’s words didn’t seem wrong. Indeed, they were all weirdos...

Helplessly, she smiled, ”Here, take this.”

As she spoke, she casually tossed something to Luo Qianqian, who quickly reached out to catch it, a look of nervousness on her face as she took the item, ”You really shouldn’t scare people like that, you know? It’s quite valuable, okay?”

”Haha, that’s called believing in you,” Jimo Xiao said as he looked at Luo Qianqian, ”When are you coming next time? You should bring me something tasty, I heard from the kids that there’s some good fried chicken available outside now.”

”Sure, if you like it, I’ll bring it next time,” Luo Qianqian responded with a chuckle, examining the item in her hands—a pink kitten, the very familiar Kitty Cat, ”Hey, you even know about this? Pretty trendy.”

”Cough cough... well, as long as you like it,” Jimo Xiao laughed heartily, ”Then I’ll be waiting for your next visit.”

”Alrighty,” Luo Qianqian said, tilting her head and smiling adorably.

After leaving Jimo Xiao’s place, Luo Qianqian looked around and saw no one, and unfortunately, her phone was dead too. She looked bewildered and muttered under her breath, ”Damn it, Shi Bahao, is it pick-up and not drop-off or what?”

A confused Shi Bahao was woken up and hurried over to Luo Qianqian, who was knocking on doors everywhere. But after a long time of knocking, she hadn’t seen a soul; the houses were all empty.

”Hey, you actually remembered to show up?” Luo Qianqian said to Shi Bahao, half angry, half amused, ”Where were you hiding?”

Shi Bahao said, ”I was sleeping...”

”So you just bring me here and don’t bother taking me back? Is that the kind of service you offer?” Luo Qianqian said, clearly annoyed.

Shi Bahao repeated, ”I was sleeping...”

”So, no food, no nothing, and you’re not going to take me back? How am I supposed to go back, run?” Luo Qianqian demanded.

Shi Bahao insisted, ”As I said, I was sleeping...”

If he had known that sleeping would cause so many problems, he would never have slept and would have constantly stayed by Luo Qianqian’s side to prevent all her problems.

Now, facing Luo Qianqian’s continuous questions, he felt powerless to refute, ”I was wrong, okay? Do you want to go back now?”

”Yeah.” Luo Qianqian nodded as if it were obvious, ”What else? Why would I stay here for so long? Wait for dinner?”

Shi Bahao said, ”...I didn’t mean that, Master Changsun allows...”

”I want to leave, could he even stop me? Do you have anything urgent to say, or are you just beating around the bush?” Luo Qianqian asked, visibly impatient.

”Okay, did Master Diwu help you complete the task of circulating ’Qi’ around your body for one cycle?”

She needed the ’Rose Demon’ for that task? Luo Qianqian was confused but still nodded her head.

What she didn’t know was that Diwu Yan, as the only person in the exploration group, had spiritual powers beyond ordinary people’s reach. Importantly, he could also use his spiritual power to help others complete the initial guidance.

Shi Bahao didn’t know that the lady in front of him was currently the only person who had independently completed the first step of their powers’ training.

After taking Luo Qianqian back to school, she didn’t forget to give him a few Ocean Coins, ”Could you trouble yourself to buy a few buckets from the store across from the school for the card-managing old man to eat? You have some too, consider it a footwork fee, thanks.”
