Chapter 10: Getting into Trouble?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During dinner, Jiang Xiao quietly opened the door while holding onto two pounds of cooked beef.
To his surprise, Han Jiangxue had already co out of her room and was standing at the entrance when he unlocked the door with the key. She was waiting for the return of Jiang Xiao who had “run away from ho”.
At noon, Jiang Xiao decided to leave the house in order to avoid facing Han Jiangxue’s wrath.
Jiang Xiao tiptoed into the house and made eye contact with a pair of icy cold eyes.
“Ahem...” Jiang Xiao stopped trying to be sneaky and closed the door. “There you go.”
“Where did you get the beef from?” Han Jiangxue asked with a frown.
“I bought it, obviously. Otherwise, could I have possibly robbed an elderly lady for it?” Jiang Xiao retorted casually.
Han Jiangxue continued to ask, “Where did you get the money?”
“I made it, duh. Otherwise, could I have possibly robbed an elderly lady for it?” Jiang Xiao answered.
How did the elderly lady even get dragged into this?
Sensing that Han Jiangxue was about to attack again, Jiang Xiao hurriedly explained, “I went out to take a breather in the afternoon, and then I went to the hospital nearby and treated quite a few patients for free. In the end, the husband of an expectant mother was generous enough to give 500 yuan. ”
1Han Jiangxue froze for a mont and thought, What in the world?
She had never once thought that the mischievous troublemaker Jiang Xiao would ever go out to make so money.
“You have no idea. That pregnant woman was sitting on the bench while waiting in line. She was feeling dizzy and nauseous. I heard that she threw up everything she ate and I really took pity on her, so I gave her so Blessings.” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and continued, “Her husband almost hit , but his attitude beca better after seeing that his wife was in a better ntal state and had regained her appetite. He was very grateful to and he insisted on giving 500 yuan. He also said...”
Han Jiangxue raised an eyebrow and asked, “What did he say?”
Jiang Xiao scratched his head. “He also said he wanted to go to his house to be his wife’s nanny and help her through confinent...”
5Dumbfounded, Han Jiangxue stared at Jiang Xiao and grabbed the beef. “Don’t go out and be mischievous again in the future. What if you end up making others ill?”
“True.” Jiang Xiao nodded, thinking that what she said did make sense.
He decided to avoid treating pregnant won in the future as far as possible. However, Jiang Xiao did manage to clinch a few deals in the afternoon. One of the more successful ones he helped was the child who had accidentally fallen off his bicycle and sustained abrasions on his elbow. Jiang Xiao helped to treat his wounds.
At that ti, Jiang Xiao was startled. He saw a child laying in a pool of blood and scurrying into the hospital while crying and screaming. In fact, the situation was not too serious, for he had rely gotten so abrasions.
After giving the child so Blessings, he stopped bleeding.
However, Jiang Xiao still asked the boy to look for a professional doctor to have his wounds checked and dressed in order to avoid getting it infected. After the boy ca out with a grin, Jiang Xiao pulled him towards the side.
Jiang Xiao continuously absorbed Star Power and would give the boy a Blessing every ten minutes. Within less than an hour, the boy’s wounds healed completely, and after rinsing it with water, Jiang Xiao realized that there wasn’t even a single scar.
2That gave Jiang Xiao a new idea. Could it be that the “Blessing” technique can get rid of scars?
Scar removal services targeted at won should bring in a good amount of money, eh? They will never scrimp and save when it cos to beauty.
Compared to regular dical thods, Jiang Xiao’s Star Technique was obviously faster, safer and painless.
Not only was it tornt-free, but it was also comfortable too.
Hmm...
However, Jiang Xiao’s greatest gain from this trip was a better understanding of his “Blessing” technique.
The description of Blessing was a little vague—”Slowly Restores Target’s Vitality”.
What does Vitality even an?
2At this juncture, Jiang Xiao knew that Blessing could help restore the target’s physical strength (An example was when Jiang Xiao was training and running), improve the target’s physical condition (the nauseous pregnant woman), and heal the target’s physical damage (the wounded child).
The so-called vitality was rather extensive. Although it was just a Brass Quality Star Technique, it was truly magical!
The only thing that he could not recover was his own ntal state. Overusing this Star Technique would not only deplete his Star Power but also cause him extre fatigue.
“Eat,” Han Jiangxue said while standing in the kitchen. Jiang Xiao knew that the matter that happened in the afternoon was over.
Han Jiangxue placed the minced beef on a plate and looked at Jiang Xiao as he entered. She said, “If there’s anything you want to eat in the future, let know and I’ll go buy it for you.”
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
He suddenly felt like a kept man.
2The feeling... was really joyous.
1Jiang Xiao asked, “By the way, do you still have enough money?”
Han Jiangxue said, “This is not sothing that you should be concerned about.”
Jiang Xiao continued, “You’re already in Year Three and in no ti, you’ll be attending university. Do we have enough money for you to attend university?”
1Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise and remained silent for a long ti. “This is not sothing you should be concerned about.”
Jiang Xiao said, “We can...”
Han Jiangxue imdiately interjected. “Hurry and eat. We’ll have to continue with the combat lessons in a while.”
Jiang Xiao answered, “Alright.”
“I have already told you how precious the Awakened of dical caliber are. In the future, you should try to keep a low profile as far as possible.” Han Jiangxue thought about it and continued, “But you can’t hide it for a long ti. You’ll eventually be exposed after you start going to high school. Besides, in order to get more resources, you can’t hide your dical Star Technique and you even have to do your best to showcase your abilities.”
Jiang Xiao carefully thought about her words and bore them in mind.
Dinner proceeded smoothly, causing Jiang Xiao to think that Han Jiangxue’s anger had dissipated after the buffer period that lasted an entire afternoon. However, that was not the case. Although she didn’t show any displeasure, Jiang Xiao was beaten up by her even more brutally during the combat session, as compared to the one that took place yesterday.
Apart from the different strikes, fight stances and exertion thods, Han Jiangxue also exposed Jiang Xiao to footwork.
That also resulted in Jiang Xiao becoming her punching bag in the second half of the session.
While Han Jiangxue continuously bombarded him with her nacing strikes, Jiang Xiao’s “Defense” and “Dodge” abilities continuously improved, but of course, Jiang Xiao also clearly experienced “Resistance”.
Unfortunately, his Unard Combat technique stagnated at Brass Quality Level 2 and did not upgrade.
Learning from morning till night seed to have beco a routine that Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue followed for the next two days.
Jiang Xiao asked himself countless tis, Why isn’t there a “Physical Fitness” technique in the third tab, Basic Technique? It would be great if I could increase my physical fitness using Skill Points.
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to train day and night.
Although Jiang Xiao had had a hard ti the past few days, his body was still rather frail. Well, at least, his Star Power was still at Stardust Stage Level 2.
1Jiang Xiao’s fragile body could only carry a limited amount of Star Power and he dared not use it too many tis in a row, for it would make him dizzy. Hence, he had to patiently re-condense Star Power and try to exert his Star Technique again. He had enough of the trouble.
The arduous regi had only been going on for two days, and in the evening of the next day, Han Jiangxue suddenly issued a new order.
“What? We don’t have to train in the morning tomorrow?”
“Yes.” Han Jiangxue threw her gloves onto the ground and turned around to leave the training room.
“You really don’t talk much, eh?” Jiang Xiao muttered as he glanced at Han Jiangxue’s back.
Jiang Xiao would never think that she had given up on him, be it because of her character or the relationship they shared. So... what is going on?
Work-life balance?
That was the most plausible reason Jiang Xiao could think of. However, he could soothe his own pain!
He didn’t need a balance between work and rest since his body could withstand it. All he needed was proper sleep for his brain to fully rest.
This thought gave Jiang Xiao determination.
Jiang Xiao was not Jiang Xiaopi. Jiang Xiao had better self-discipline and clearer goals. He knew the importance of grit and perseverance. Since he wanted to beco stronger, he nonetheless got up on ti the next morning and went out for a morning workout.
1To his astonishnt, his workout caused him to land himself in trouble...
