Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy
Chapter 515 - 507: A Deformed Love is Certainly Spectacular
CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 507: A DEFORMED LOVE IS CERTAINLY SPECTACULAR
Not only is Cang Wuhai curious, the internet is also curious.
While discussing Su Ang’s risky actions, netizens couldn’t help but bring up Qian Qi and Qian Dafang.
Because these two have recently overshadowed Su Ang, many have almost forgotten this "retired" hero. Now, as Su Ang drags the S-Class Magic Beast into the S-Class dungeon for humanity, he inevitably becomes popular again. Possibly due to some individuals deliberately stirring things up, Qian Qi and Qian Dafang are compared to Su Ang.
Who is the real Savior?
The online debate is heated. Some say Su Ang is undoubtedly the one, some say it’s the Qian siblings, and others have even started criticizing the Qian siblings, saying that when the S-Class Magic Beast appeared, these two became cowards and kept silent, completely lacking Su Ang’s "great righteousness."
Many are also increasingly concerned about the situation in Cui City. However, unexpectedly, when the S-Class Demon Dragon appeared, the emergency dispatched military, instead of gearing up, sent back the residents who were previously evacuated from the city.
What’s going on?
The official quickly announced that the S-Class crisis has been resolved.
Resolved? How can it be resolved?
Although the S-Class Demon Dragon was lured into the dungeon, that S-Class dungeon hasn’t been conquered! The S-Class Demon Dragon could still come out!
Could it be that they reported false military information to stabilize public sentiment!
The online discussion becomes more chaotic, with some even preparing to seek refuge abroad. However, as the days pass, the main military forces of the Seven Great Families gradually withdraw from Cui City, and construction workers begin to rebuild buildings, everyone finally calms down.
The S-Class crisis might truly be resolved.
But...
Why?
The internet is abuzz with speculation.
Some guess Su Ang might have self-destructed along with the S-Class Demon Dragon, others speculate that the military might possess some unknown armed force, and some guess perhaps the S-Class dungeon has been conquered, though the ones making such guesses quickly find themselves ridiculous.
Humans can’t even defeat a single S-Class Demon Dragon, how could they possibly conquer an S-Class dungeon hahaha!
Only a God could achieve that, right!
But how could a God exist?
And on the fourth day, the "God" that everyone claimed doesn’t exist, finally left the dungeon with Su Ang.
Shangguan Qing was the first to get the news and immediately went out to greet them, only to find the atmosphere between the originally flirtatious young couple upon entering the dungeon had turned peculiarly awkward upon exiting.
Su Ang’s face was indifferent and disappointed, seemingly as if he suffered a heartbreak, while Qian Qi didn’t look good either.
"What happened?" Shangguan Qing approached Qian Qi, confirmed she wasn’t injured, then asked, "Did the handling fail?"
Qian Qi shook her head and glanced at Su Ang.
She really couldn’t understand—a guy kissed her but then said the kiss was meaningless. What on earth was he trying to do?
This clearly was something only a jerk would do, but Su Ang, how could he be a jerk?
After spending so much time together, Qian Qi believes he’s not that kind of person. She still wants to ask him in person to clear things up.
She doesn’t want to be deceived outright.
So, she intentionally walked towards Su Ang.
Seeing Qian Qi approaching, Su Ang instinctively wanted to flee, afraid she’d say something hurtful, like telling him to stay away from her in the future.
But she quickly blocked him.
"Senior Su." Qian Qi trapped him in the chair, pressing her right leg against the chair’s crossbar to hold it, leaned over the silver-haired youth’s shoulders with one hand on the chair’s back, and asked in as relaxed a tone as possible, "Do you really not want to be with me?"
But in the silver-haired youth’s eyes, Qian Qi resembled a rogue, pinning him down in a dominating manner, asking him if he wanted to be her sidekick.
Su Ang felt somewhat wronged.
He liked her so much, how could he willingly become an unseen sidekick?
He turned away, the silver strands on his forehead shifting, revealing the shattered expression in his eyes, "I... am not that kind of person."
Qian Qi: ?
That kind of person? What kind of person?
Someone who doesn’t know how to date?
So, Su Ang wants to keep an ambiguous and physical relationship but doesn’t want a title?
That’s such an unhealthy relationship!
Qian Qi frowned; she refuses to engage in a distorted relationship, she wants a normal healthy relationship, so she said, "But I’m that kind of person."
Su Ang shuddered, turning his eyes to look at her in shock, as if he was trying to see her anew.
Is she really the type to look for sidekicks?
Is he actually a third wheel? Or maybe he’s not just a third but a fourth, fifth, sixth?!
The silver-haired youth’s worldview is shattering, attempting to rebuild, but failing.
Although having multiple partners for powerful Awakened ones is normal, but... how could he bear sharing her with others?
He’d rather just stay beside her to protect her, no... he, he...
The silver-haired youth’s gaze naturally fell on the girl’s moist lips, his Adam’s apple shifted, and his inner struggle began.
Could someone who’s tasted the pleasures truly be willing to just stay by her side?
Qian Qi noticed his gaze, her brow raised slightly, intentionally lowering her head closer, her pink lips moving temptingly, "Together with me, you can kiss me however you want in the future."
She was tempting him.
As long as he became her sidekick, he could freely kiss her anytime.
The silver-haired youth was vehemently shaking his head internally, but in reality, he couldn’t move at all, his body stiff like a log.
He opened his mouth, somewhat sulkily, "Aren’t you afraid he’d get jealous?"
Qian Qi: ?
Who?
Seeing Qian Qi’s puzzled expression, Su Ang thought perhaps her partner was very magnanimous, not caring if she was flirtatious outside. After all, many Advanced Awakened original partners are like this, having formed an unspoken rule.
It made sense; if he really cared, constantly browsing the internet would make him aware that someone as excellent as Su Ang is always by her side—what man wouldn’t be worried?
Yet the person did nothing, probably long accepted her behavior of putting up flags outside.
Perhaps that person isn’t a proper lover, just a warm bed companion like Su Ang, only he holds the first spot.
Thinking this way, Su Ang felt much better, secretly deciding he might agree with Qian Qi first, then investigate and deal with those other men behind her back later.
Yes, that’s the way.
"All right then." Though he thought about it for a while, in reality, only three seconds passed. Just as Qian Qi was about to ask whom he referred to, the silver-haired youth quickly nodded in agreement, "Let’s be together."
Qian Qi immediately dropped her question, nodding contentedly, "Mm."
That’s more like it!
Distorted love may be exciting, but in reality, healthy love deserves pursuit!
Qian Qi couldn’t help but run her fingers through Su Ang’s silver hair, giving it a loving stroke.
Thinking such an outstanding, handsome young man was her boyfriend, she felt so proud, so honored.
She’s so charming. If the Dean Mother knew she secured a silver-haired hottie in the otherworld, she would surely praise her good taste!
