Chapter 111: Dragon Clan Youngling Distress Signal Appears Again, Jiang Tea Tea’s Stomach Hurts Like Crazy

Huang Da Zhuang’s blunt refusal made the faces of the three white wolf tribe beastmen and the female beastman twist with embarrassment. In the next second, their awkwardness disappeared, and they smiled kindly as they explained:

“Junior schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, junior schoolmate Huang Da Zhuang, you misunderstood us. That’s not what we meant. What we mean is, learning can’t be rushed.”

“Some people are born with talent and are made for studying. Some people are just slower. Take it slowly, and then they can move up from B grade to A-level and Level S.”

“We three are from the mecha armor manufacturing department and the Mecha Maintenance Department. Our grades aren’t the very top, but we still rank among the best in our year. If you ever need help or don’t understand something, you can ask us. Whether we know it or not, we’ll do our best to help you solve it.”

“Come on, junior schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, let’s add each other’s contact info. In the future, we can help each other out, look after each other, and when we’re free, we can also meet up for meals or train together.”

Listening to their self-satisfied explanation and seeing them already holding out their contact codes for her to scan, Jiang Tea Tea felt they were incredibly ridiculous.

The fake young miss’s two older brothers and one elder sister actually thought she did not know who they were. They wanted to leave a good impression on her, slip quietly into her life, and then drag their parents in to point fingers and take charge.

Even the fake young miss’s remaining consciousness, seeing their behavior, wanted to curse them out. She did not want to recognize them at all, but she had no mouth to express it.

Jiang Tea Tea sneered: “Since you three know us so well, you should clearly know that none of the eight of us are studying mecha armor manufacturing or mecha armor maintenance.”

“You brought over eight glasses of fruit juice that cost two star credits each and eight fruit plates that cost eight star credits each, then started your honeyed words and tried to sow discord. And out of all the people here, instead of adding everyone, you only want to add me. What exactly are you trying to do?”

“We aren’t trying to do anything. We just purely want to be your friend,” the white wolf tribe female beastman said as she started looking for backup. Her gaze turned to Cheng Xiao Ting as she called to him: “Younger male cousin, say something. Hurry up and tell your classmate Jiang Tea Tea that we don’t mean any harm.”

“Younger male cousin?”

Cheng Xiao Ting?

Jiang Tea Tea turned her head to look at Cheng Xiao Ting.

This guy really had a lot of relatives. Before, there was Lang Yue Ye. Now there were Wolf Xin Rui, Wolf Xin Ping, and Wolf Xin Chong.

“Wolf Xin Rui, don’t yell nonsense. How are you like Lang Yue Ye, always trying to randomly claim relatives?”

“Yes, our beast forms are all wolves, but the wolf race is huge. Distant cousins stretch for eight thousand miles. Our living areas and habits are all different. How do you have the nerve to keep calling me ‘younger male cousin’?”

Cheng Xiao Ting practically jumped three feet high. After cursing out the three siblings, he turned back to Jiang Tea Tea and the others to explain that he had nothing to do with them and was not some undercover spy.

“Sister Tea, Sui Xuan Chu, Little Rabbit, I have no relationship with them at all. Not even a little. They just see how outstanding I am and want to latch onto me.”

Wolf Xin Rui had not expected him to react so strongly. “Younger male cousin…”

“Don’t call me that.” Cheng Xiao Ting cut her off, so angry he could explode. He called their names directly: “Wolf Xin Ping, Wolf Xin Chong, Wolf Xin Rui, I’m warning you. I have nothing to do with you. Don’t try to claim kinship with me. Otherwise, we’ll go straight to the dueling field and fight until one of us dies.”

Wolf Xin Ping tugged Wolf Xin Rui’s sleeve. “Sorry, junior schoolmate Cheng Xiao Ting. Don’t be angry. We don’t mean any harm.”

“Three months ago, during the Supremacy Tournament between thirty military academies, you won first place individually and as a squad. We really wanted to get to know you and be friends, to learn from you, but you were always busy.”

“You’ve been busy for three whole months. Since we finally saw you relaxing today, and we had just finished eating, we came over to add contacts and get to know you. That’s all. We don’t have any other intention.”

Jiang Tea Tea suddenly smiled. “So what you mean is that we’re making a fuss over nothing and that our minds are filthy, turning you into bad people in our heads?”

“Junior schoolmate, if you say it like that, it’s really unfair…”

“Take a look at this, then.”

Jiang Tea Tea really did not want to waste words on them. She took out a thick stack of files from her space knob storage device – the information Chong Ming had found for her about her birth parents and siblings – and flung it into Wolf Xin Ping’s arms.

“Once you finish reading, you’ll realize just how disgusting you three are, and how disgusting your parents and your other seven brothers and sisters are.”

“Sui Xuan Chu, Huang Da Zhuang, Cheng Lin Yue, let’s go. Next time they come over, every time we see them, we beat them up. If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility.”

After speaking, Jiang Tea Tea took the lead and walked out of the school cafeteria.

The fake young miss’s consciousness had absolutely no hope for her birth parents and siblings. She did not expect any warmth or family affection from them.

What she wanted was to see the fake young miss’s name become famous across the entire interstellar space, admired and worshipped by billions, so that her adoptive parents could be proud and her birth parents could regret it so much they would pound their chests and stomp their feet.

Huang Da Zhuang followed behind and asked: “Sister Tea, what information did you give them? That stack was thick.”

Jiang Tea Tea answered openly: “Information on my birth parents and brothers and sisters, plus my maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and my grandparents on my adoptive parents’ side.”

“What?”

“What?”

“What?”

Huang Da Zhuang, Cheng Xiao Ting, Sui Xuan Chu, and the others all stopped in unison. Suddenly, they did not feel tired or miserable at all. Their sleepiness vanished. Their spirits shot up as all their gazes focused on Jiang Tea Tea, full of shock.

Under their stares, Jiang Tea Tea walked out of the school cafeteria like nothing had happened. She went quite a distance before they hurried to catch up, talking over each other with questions.

“Sister Tea, are you serious? That third-year mecha armor manufacturing and Mecha Maintenance Department set of triplets, those two males and one female, they’re your elder sister and older brothers?”

“My god, when did you find out? They came looking for you today, so do they also know you’re their younger sister? What do they want? Are they trying to bring you home, give you family affection, give you warmth?”

“No way. They’re the children of the white wolf tribe clan leader. Their family has been rich for several generations and has ten kids. If they bring you back, you’d be stuck in the middle. I doubt you’d get any good treatment there.”

“Hey, Sister Tea, you’re a pure human female, but you’re the child of the white wolf tribe clan leader and you have wolf blood. Which month were you born in? I’m March. You should be my younger female cousin, right?”

“Cheng Xiao Ting, do you want any dignity? How can you be this double-faced? You just denied them as relatives, and now you’re acknowledging relatives again. Your wolf face is going to get slapped crooked.”

“Roommate, not bad. Quietly tracking down your family and not saying a word to me. You’re impressive.”

He grumbled to himself. When had his uncle given her the files? Why hadn’t he known?

His uncle was going too far, not treating him like a good nephew at all.

Jiang Tea Tea quickened her pace and raised her voice: “Cut the nonsense. I’m in a good mood today, so hurry up to the academy’s Healing Department. I’ll calm your restless supernatural abilities, comb your spiritual seas, and check whether you meet the conditions for awakening supernatural abilities.”

Huang Da Zhuang was the most excited. “Sister Tea, I’ll shut up now. I definitely have the conditions to awaken supernatural abilities. I definitely can awaken them, right?”

Sui Xuan Chu and Cheng Xiao Ting quickly caught up. “Sister Tea, my supernatural ability’s level should at least reach Level Three this time, right?”

“Sister Tea, I hope my supernatural ability level can reach Level Five. You can do that, right?”

“Sister Tea, if you can make my supernatural ability level jump ten levels, I’ll love you, only you, forever, and never leave you.”

Jiang Tea Tea: “…”

[She was a tea tree spirit, not some wish-granting turtle in a wishing pond.]

If they wanted levels to jump ten at a time, they might as well toss her into the sky and let her soar in the wind to see if she looked like Level Ten.

“What did Jiang Tea Tea give you?” Wolf Xin Rui finally could not hold back and asked when she saw Wolf Xin Ping standing frozen after reading the file.

Wolf Xin Ping handed the stack of files to her, his expression blank. “She already knew we’re her older brothers and elder sister. She already has complete information on everyone in our family.”

Wolf Xin Rui frowned and started flipping through the files quickly.

Wolf Xin Chong leaned over to read with her.

After they finished, Wolf Xin Chong said: “So she already knew we’re her older brothers and elder sister, and she still wouldn’t come recognize us or team up with us, and she wouldn’t help us calm our supernatural abilities or comb our spiritual seas. Is she resenting us? Is she resenting our parents for accidentally losing her?”

“Parents didn’t mean to. They’ve been searching for her this whole time. Did she not look into that part and just assume our parents abandoned her on purpose?”

“Seriously, if she’d just think about it for a second. Our parents are the white wolf tribe clan leader and madam. Their yearly income is over a hundred million. How could they not afford to raise her and just throw her aw…”

“Enough, don’t say anything else.” Wolf Xin Rui cut him off. “She didn’t have a good life with her adoptive parents. It wasn’t easy for her to get into the Royal Military Academy, and even there she was bullied.”

“It’s only in the last half year or so that life has gotten better. It’s normal for her to have resentment in her heart. When you see her later, you need to treat her well. Her variant plant-type supernatural ability is a unique existence in the whole interstellar space.”

“Parents said that as long as we can bring her home, with her in our family, not only will the ten of us siblings have a chance to raise our supernatural ability levels, our family can also leap up to become one of the Zhenlin Empire’s major financial groups and high nobility.”

“So you two watch yourselves. Don’t pull long faces. Later, pay attention to what she needs and what she likes, and buy it for her.”

Wolf Xin Chong snorted, then took all the fruit plates and drinks they had brought over. He did not leave a single piece behind.

In the Healing Department of the Royal Military Academy, there was a national treasure-level healer, Elder Jin, sitting in charge. Jiang Tea Tea and Cheng Lin Yue’s private tutoring in the Healing Department’s Pacification Division was his idea.

The two of them, one studied solidly but slowly, while the other was lazy about learning but had innate talent. One was obedient and well-behaved, the other casual and just barely passing.

Elder Jin really liked both of them. He compared their class schedules and squeezed in extra lessons whenever he could, wishing he could pry open their heads and pour knowledge straight into their brains.

The two of them had their own dedicated healing room and healing pod in Elder Jin’s Healing Department.

Jiang Tea Tea had never used them for herself, nor had she let Elder Jin examine her body. She only listened to him lecture, teaching her theory and how to use spiritual power to heal difficult and complicated cases.

This time, Jiang Tea Tea led her friends into the healing room. She did not comb their spiritual seas one by one or check and heal them individually.

Instead, she closed the door and windows, told them all to sit on the floor, then roused her spiritual power and spread it over all of them at once. Her spiritual power flowed into their limbs, bones, and blood, calming their restless supernatural abilities and combing their spiritual seas.

After half an hour, everyone except Jiang Tea Tea felt clear-headed and full of strength. Even Huang Da Zhuang felt that something inside him was different.

Jiang Tea Tea, however, had used up a large chunk of her spiritual power. Her face turned pale, her legs felt weak, and the babies in her belly began to churn. She felt extremely uncomfortable and suddenly craved Chong Ming’s fresh blood and his supernatural abilities and spiritual power.

She told them: “Rest here for about ten minutes. After that, let Elder Jin give you a full checkup. I need to leave the academy for a while.”

“Why are you leaving the academy?” Sui Xuan Chu felt that even if his supernatural ability didn’t reach Level Four, it had at least reached Level Three and a half. Hearing that she was going out, he blurted out the question.

Jiang Tea Tea shot him a look. “I’m going to see that rich uncle of yours.”

Huang Da Zhuang and the others immediately turned to stare at Sui Xuan Chu.

Their eyes were like they were looking at a traitor.

Feeling their stares, Sui Xuan Chu wanted to slap himself. He hurried to explain: “Here’s the thing. My uncle wants my roommate to comb his spiritual sea for him. He offered ten million.”

Huang Da Zhuang and the others understood at once. If he was paying ten million, then Sui Xuan Chu hadn’t lied. His uncle really was rich and loaded.

Jiang Tea Tea rolled her eyes at him, then left the healing room. She didn’t dare touch her belly, but the cubs inside were still tossing around.

She took a flying device out of her space knob storage device, opened the hatch and sat inside, then sent Chong Ming a message.

In less than thirty seconds, Chong Ming replied with a set of coordinates and told her to fly straight there.

Jiang Tea Tea entered the coordinates into the flying device. The moment the device started up, her spiritual power suddenly plummeted from thirty percent down to twenty percent. A sharp, twisting pain hit her stomach, and the cubs in her belly churned like boiling water.

Her face went white with pain and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She quickly formed hand seals, opened the flying device’s window, silently chanted magic spells and spell incantations, and drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“What’s going on? That smell, is that a Dragon Clan youngling in danger sending out a distress signal, or am I imagining things?”

The Dragon Clan students of the Royal Military Academy had smelled the distress aura released by a Dragon Clan youngling. It was powerful and full of pressure.

“You’re not imagining it. You’re not imagining it. I’m not imagining it either. That’s definitely a Dragon Clan youngling’s distress signal.”

“The Dragon Clan youngling is right here in our Royal Military Academy. My god, which dragon actually has a youngling?”

“Wait, wait, don’t you think this smell is kind of familiar? Doesn’t it smell like that youngling’s distress signal we smelled at the Supremacy Tournament? That overbearing, nose-stinging, oppressive aura?”

“Yeah, such strong pressure. It’s kind of like a Golden Dragon Imperial Clan youngling.”

“Don’t say that, don’t say that. But according to reliable sources, the Crown Prince is studying incognito here at our academy. Now that this aura that’s kind of like a Golden Dragon Imperial Clan youngling’s has appeared, does that mean the Crown Prince is going to school here, dating at the same time, and has already gotten his girlfriend pregnant?”

Jiang Tea Tea could not smell the distress aura from the youngling at all. Through urgently absorbing the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she eased the pain in her belly. The cubs gradually settled down and stopped turning the place upside down.

Her flying device successfully left the military academy and headed toward the location Chong Ming had sent her.

The Dragon Clan youngling’s remaining aura spread across the entire Royal Military Academy. In the academy’s Healing Department, Elder Jin used an instrument to capture that aura. He hurriedly dialed Chong Ming’s contact.

After four rings, the call connected. Elder Jin spoke at once, his voice full of excitement: “Your Highness, a Dragon Clan youngling’s distress signal has appeared at the Royal Military Academy. It might be the same Dragon Clan youngling whose distress signal you smelled at the Supremacy Tournament between the thirty military academies!”
