Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 50

Ch 50: Descendant of the Loyal and Brave

“Rubbing makes you healthier!”

At this moment, Chu Qiu noticed a sturdy young man standing behind them. He had an honest and amiable appearance, giving off a naturally familiar vibe that made people feel good.

Fan Debiao pointed at the young man: “Oh, right, I haven’t introduced you yet. This is Ni Qiu, from Yi Zhong, and he ranked third in this exam.”

The young man laughed heartily: “Haha, Chu Qiu, I’ve heard so much about you. You can call me Mudfish.”

His straightforwardness and enthusiasm left a good impression on Chu Qiu.

Fang Tian Ce looked at the crowd blocking the doorway and joked, “What? Are you really planning to make us stand at the door and drink the northwest wind?”

Chu Qiu quickly smiled apologetically: “City Lord, how could you say that? Poor people can’t be poor to themselves. If I’m poor, I still have you, right? Everyone, follow me.”

Led by Chu Qiu, the group walked and chatted, heading straight for the restaurant.

Seeing the restaurant door in sight, Ni Qiu slapped his forehead: “I was wondering why this felt so familiar. Aren’t we going to the restaurant?”

Chu Qiu looked at him and replied seriously, “Otherwise? There’s plenty of food here, the environment is good, and most importantly, it’s free. Where else is more suitable?”

Ni Qiu scratched his head. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed like a bald man’s head having no hair—going to the hospital for treatment made perfect sense.

Fang Tian Ce shook his head and sighed, “I was wondering why you were so agreeable. So, you were plotting this all along.”

The group didn’t really intend to have Chu Qiu treat them; they were just joking. Since they had already arrived at the door and it was free, naturally they wouldn’t pass up a free meal.

Both of them had already learned about Chu Qiu and Fang Yan’s outstanding achievements from the public list, and they were both surprised and delighted.

Considering that there was a more important exam tomorrow, they each took a cup of warm tea and raised their cups to the two of them as a toast of congratulations, using tea in place of alcohol.

“Although I am naturally intelligent and diligent, I was able to achieve good results in this exam thanks to the teacher’s careful guidance.”

Chu Qiu took this opportunity to specially toast Sister Xiao Ya, because without Xiao Ya’s patient teaching and selfless help, he would probably have failed and missed this glory.

Fang Yan, who was on the side, was already used to Chu Qiu’s slightly boastful words and just smiled as she watched this scene.

Ni Qiu was slightly stunned for a moment before he reacted. Then, he admiringly gave a thumbs up, expressing his heartfelt admiration for Chu Qiu’s shamelessness.

During the meal, Fan Debiao appropriately introduced the three people’s purpose. It turned out that Ni Qiu was also one of those who was called by Gou Buli to meet Li Chuan last time.

Speaking of this matter, Ni Qiu’s face was full of contempt, and his tone carried a bit of disdain: “Dear brother, although I am dull, it doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I extremely despise this kind of despicable behavior.”

“In addition, I have specially studied the videos about you frame by frame. The more I watch, the more I admire you. Your bravery and wisdom are like the endless Yangtze River, and like the Yellow River overflowing, once unleashed, it cannot be stopped…”

Then, Ni Qiu changed the subject, his eyes filled with admiration for Chu Qiu.

“Stop, where did you learn all these words? And which video is worth you analyzing frame by frame like this?”

Listening to these words, Chu Qiu’s face was full of black lines, and he helplessly interrupted his exaggerated praise.

Ni Qiu scratched his head embarrassedly and explained, “I learned it from a very old video clip. It’s that time you were scolding people…no, it’s that video of you spouting lotus flowers. After hearing it once, I was amazed. After hearing it again, I was even more in awe.”

As soon as Chu Qiu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a kindred spirit: “If you can talk, then say more. I love to listen!”

Fang Yan really couldn’t listen anymore and couldn’t help but interrupt the two people who were praising each other: “Stop! Stop! I thought only Chu Qiu was like this. I didn’t expect that all crows under the sky are equally black.”

Seeing this, Ni Qiu no longer beat around the bush and directly stated his thoughts: “Okay, I’ll be frank. I want to follow you, learn your ingenious skills, and…”

“Please stop…”

As soon as Chu Qiu heard this, he quickly interrupted, fearing that if Ni Qiu continued, even if he wanted to explain, he would be powerless to turn the situation around.

“Aren’t you afraid of offending Li Chuan?”

Chu Qiu looked at Ni Qiu and asked seriously.

Ni Qiu didn’t care at all and looked at him as a matter of course: “Isn’t there you blocking in front?”

“I, damn it…”

Chu Qiu was choked by Ni Qiu’s words and couldn’t speak. He didn’t find him as pleasing to the eye as before.

After the meal, except for Chu Qiu, who was still brooding over Ni Qiu’s words, the host and guests parted on good terms.

After sending the group to the hotel entrance, Fang Yan looked at Chu Qiu on the way back: “This Mudfish is not that simple.”

Chu Qiu nodded, expressing his agreement: “Even you can see it? Not simple!”

Fang Yan slapped him on the back of the head and said angrily, “If he suddenly comes to your door, it’s either seeking something or plotting something. Which one do you think he is?”

Chu Qiu shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either. He didn’t have any money to plot for, so was he plotting for his looks? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but tighten his legs.

At this time, Xiao Ya looked at the two of them, her eyes flashing with inquiry: “Have you heard of the Ni family of Ding City?”

Chu Qiu shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know anything. Fang Yan suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Ya: “That Ni family that has long since declined?”

Xiao Ya explained, “Yes, that Ni family that has long since declined. Just now, City Lord Fang privately asked me to tell you that Ni Qiu can be trusted. He is the only surviving bloodline of the Ni family.”

Chu Qiu couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he heard this: “Is the Ni family very awesome? More awesome than me?”

Xiao Ya ignored his joking words and explained seriously, “The Ni family is not awesome, but they are worthy of respect and admiration from future generations. Back then, when the Otherworldly Beast invasion was swift and fierce, and all directions were in urgent need of help, the Dragon Country’s elites were all dispatched. The Ni family’s ancestor guarded one side alone, carrying his coffin out and vowing to coexist with the city. In that battle, the Ni family, men, women, old, and young, all bravely went to their deaths, and none survived.”

After hearing this, Chu Qiu couldn’t help but feel respect for the Ni family and turned to ask, “Then Ni Qiu…”

Xiao Ya nodded, her tone carrying a bit of relief and emotion: “He is a posthumous descendant. At that time, the Ni family ancestor’s son was not officially married, so Ni Qiu was spared.”

“Then his coming to me for cooperation, doesn’t that mean that my character is also top-notch?”

Chu Qiu nodded to himself, expressing heartfelt approval of himself.

“Ew!”

“Ew!”

A sound of dry heaving came, followed by another, breaking this self-intoxication.

Chu Qiu turned his head and saw Xiao Ya and Fang Yan covering their mouths: “If you’re sick, you should get treatment. Come, let me feel and see if it’s a happy pulse?”

Seeing his claws reaching over, the two hurriedly dodged to the side: “You’re too disgusting. We really couldn’t hold back. We’re going back to our rooms first.”

The two said as they quickened their pace, leaving as if they were fleeing.

Looking at their hurried departure, the corners of Chu Qiu’s mouth curled up in disdain. Is this all it takes to be disgusted? The oil residue is still white, needs more training!

He continued to stroll slowly towards his room, feeling that he had been made even more glorious and great by Ni Qiu.
