Chapter 41: An Unexpected Surprise! Wolf Matron’s Intuition (Blue)!
????Because he’d left ho early, Bai Xuan arrived at school long before anyone else.
??At seven in the morning, the classroom was silent and empty. Only a few golden rays of sunlight spilled quietly across the rows of desks.
??He had just set down his backpack when a figure slipped in through the open window.
??“Yo, kid. What are you doing here this early?” a voice called out.
??“?”
??Bai Xuan looked up to see Li Hongyou hovering in midair, her expression unreadable. He hesitated, then shot back, “Shouldn’t I be asking you the sa thing? Why are you here so early?”
??“Work, of course,” Li Hongyou replied with a careless shrug, then turned her gaze out the window.
??Bai Xuan followed her line of sight. A familiar Maybach was gliding onto the campus grounds.
??He understood at once: Li Hongyou’s current Mission was sohow connected to Su Yue.
??That piqued his curiosity.
??Li Hongyou was here for Su Yue, and the masked Poker Card organization was also after her. The only explanation was that Su Yue’s Anomalous Ability was powerful enough to draw both sides’ attention.
??Based on what he knew, she definitely possessed two abilities: one psychic, most likely related to Affection.
??The other… was simply being filthy rich.
??“Is there sothing wrong with Su Yue?” Bai Xuan asked, glancing at Li Hongyou.
??As an Investigator, she definitely knew more than he did.
??“Why do you ask so many questions?” Li Hongyou shot him a cold look.
??Bai Xuan lowered his voice, his tone suddenly serious. “Maybe you don’t know this, but Su Yue and I aren’t exactly strangers.”
??“Oh?” Li Hongyou folded her arms, turning to eye him intently. “And what exactly is your relationship?”
??“I’m a mber of the Fallen Angel Goddess Club,” Bai Xuan replied, deadpan.
??For a mont, Li Hongyou just stared at him, her eyes flickering with sothing complicated.
??A long silence passed before she finally spoke. “You’d better not get involved with her. Stay away. Got it?”
??“What, is she dangerous?” Bai Xuan swallowed, unable to hide his nerves.
??“It’s not that she’s dangerous—it’s her Ability,” Li Hongyou said with a light shrug. “Trust , kid. Unless you want to end up as so pathetic, lovesick puppy, keep your distance.”
??“?”
??Bai Xuan blinked, struggling to process her words.
??So his hunch was right—Su Yue’s Anomalous Ability really was psychic.
??“Then… which of you is stronger?” he couldn’t help but ask.
??Li Hongyou rolled her eyes, then smirked, radiating confidence. “Seriously? Obviously, I’m stronger.”
??“Ohhh…”
??Bai Xuan nodded thoughtfully, but his eyes drifted back to the window.
??He watched as Su Yue stepped out of the Maybach, escorted by a small squad of female bodyguards, striding toward the school building.
??…
??At that sa mont, Bai Yu was sprawled across her bed, her body limp from the aftereffects of the Wolf Matron’s Heart.
??Her skin burned, blood surging like fire through her veins.
??“So hot…” she gasped, curling into herself. Her breath ca in ragged bursts, her mind slipping away until only her body’s instinctive shuddering remained, desperately trying to ease the strange, excruciating discomfort.
??As she hovered on the verge of unconsciousness, faint voices drifted to her ears:
??“Hey! Little knight! Looks like the Queen who rules this planet isn’t doing so hot!”
??“Her body can’t handle the surge of power in her bloodline. It’s throwing her system out of whack.”
??“Who… are you…” Bai Yu tried to place the voices in her room, but her senses scattered and darkness swallowed her.
??Serene and Mare Alera had already entered, carefully examining Bai Yu’s condition.
??“Strange… The Wolf Heart shouldn’t have such a strong effect. Even an ordinary person should be able to handle it,” Serene mused, propping her chin on her hand. “Did she swallow it wrong or sothing?”
??“Maybe she’s just built different. Don’t forget, she’s the Queen of this entire planet!” Mare Alera declared, hands on her hips, nodding with conviction. “Yup! That must be it!”
??“…”
??Serene fell silent for a mont, then murmured, “Actually, I might be able to help.”
??As she spoke, her golden, heart-shaped tail unfurled behind her, glowing with gentle light. Under her control, it traced a shimring magic circle around Bai Yu.
??“What kind of spell is that?” Mare Alera leaned in, curiosity plain on her face.
??“The Light of Hope, from the Holy See,” Serene explained. “His Holiness the Pope taught it to —it’s a sacred spell ant to temper the holy power in blessed water. I think it’ll work here, too.”
??As she finished speaking, the magic circle completed.
??A warm golden glow enveloped Bai Yu.
??In that brief mont, Bai Yu’s condition improved dramatically—the feverish heat faded, and her tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.
??“She should be fine now,” Serene said softly, erasing all traces of the spell.
??“Magic from the Holy See really is incredible…” Mare Alera muttered, then looked at Bai Yu lying on the bed. “Queen of this planet, you’d better get well soon—so we can destroy the world together!”
??…
??As soon as the school bell rang, Bai Xuan packed his things and hurried straight ho.
??He quickly noticed that Bai Yu hadn’t gone out.
??Surprised, he rushed to her room.
??“Yu-jie?” he called softly, knocking on the door.
??No answer.
??He carefully turned the handle and stepped inside.
??The sight before him made him frown—
??Bai Yu was curled up on the bed, her Elastic Body twisted and coiled like a snake.
??“…Huh?”
??Bai Xuan froze.
??What kind of sleeping posture was that?
??“Hey, human!”
??Mare Alera suddenly appeared in the doorway, lowering her voice. “Her Constitution is a bit unusual. The Wolf Heart’s having so extra effects on her.”
??“Extra effects?”
??Bai Xuan imdiately turned to Bai Yu and opened her status panel.
??【Bai Yu】
??【Age: 23】
??【Quality: Normal】
??【Level: F】
??【Identity: Constable (White)】
??【Race: Human (White)】
??【Affection: 95】
??【Attributes: Strength D, Agility D , Constitution D, Spirit D】
??【Abilities: Elastic Body (Green), Wolf Matron’s Intuition (Blue)】
??【Wolf Matron’s Intuition (Blue): An ancient power from the Wolf Matron bloodline, heightening her sensitivity to danger.】
??“What the…?”
??Bai Xuan stared at her panel, astonished.
??Not only had Bai Yu’s Attributes improved after consuming the Wolf Matron’s Heart—she’d even awakened a new Blue-rarity Setting?
??“But… why?”
??Was it because her body was special?
??“Mm…”
??Just then, Bai Yu stirred faintly.
??Bai Xuan quickly shot Mare Alera a look.
??The little troublemaker nodded in understanding and vanished in an instant.
??A mont later, Bai Yu slowly woke.
??She rubbed her bleary eyes, looking at Bai Xuan sitting beside her bed, and asked in a soft voice:
??“Bai Xuan? When did you get ho?”
