Chapter 134: Sister Tea Breaks a Bug Clan Member’s Neck With One Kick and Gets Taken by a Capture Net
“Understood, leader. I will shoot them down right now and present them as the best gift for the Crown Princess Heir to enjoy.”
The bug clan subordinate answered excitedly. He raised the tranquilizer gun in his hand and aimed at Jiang Tea Tea’s lower back and Sui Xuan Chu’s dragon body as they hovered in midair, trying to loop a rope around the black dragon’s neck.
With a whoosh, two tranquilizer darts shot out at the same time.
Jiang Tea Tea’s belly and lower back were covered in a layer of spiritual power.
One tranquilizer dart never even touched her. It bounced away the moment it hit the layer of spiritual power protecting her lower back.
The dart aimed at Sui Xuan Chu snapped against his hard scales and flew off.
The bug clan member and his subordinate saw the tranquilizer darts get knocked away. Their faces changed: “She noticed us. Quick, move to another hiding spot!”
Jiang Tea Tea had already found them. She quickly formed another hand seal and added two more layers of spiritual power over her belly. Then she stomped on Sui Xuan Chu’s body and said to him: “There are bug clan members sneaking up on us. I will go after them. You handle that black dragon.”
Sui Xuan Chu answered her with a dragon roar. As he was about to lower his body, Jiang Tea Tea jumped off his back, leaping toward the direction where the bug clan members were trying to escape.
High in the air, the fifty-meter-long black dragon roared. It flung the two female beastmen in its claws toward Sui Xuan Chu, then pounced at him.
Sui Xuan Chu curled his long tail and caught the two thrown female beastmen, but he did not have time to dodge the black dragon’s attack. The black dragon’s claws raked across his body, leaving a bloody gash.
The pain made his beast form fall toward the ground. To keep the two female beastmen he had just saved from getting hurt, he fell with his beast body under them, using himself as a cushion.
Other than the injuries from the black dragon’s claws, the two female beastmen were not harmed further. Sui Xuan Chu endured the sharp pain, shifted back into human form, and quickly reached into his space knob storage device. He pulled out a tube of potion and poured it into his mouth.
The blood that flowed out of him and the scales that fell off him were still a dark red-black. They did not turn golden. He threw aside the two frightened female beastmen, leaped back into the air again, transformed into his dragon form, and faced the black dragon that was even longer than his beast form. He roared, raised his claws, and bit down fiercely!
“Since you are already here and even dared to sneak attack me, how can you just run without saying hello? That is not very polite, is it, you little bugs?”
Jiang Tea Tea jumped down from midair and used the Shrinking Ground to Inches Technique, almost like teleportation. In a flash, she moved and blocked the three bug clan members, her branch staff held crosswise in her hands.
If they had not ambushed her, then just by their human disguises alone, it would have been very hard to notice that they were insectoid race in disguise inside the Academy.
The leading bug clan member grinned in the shadows under the dim light. “Respected Level S Healing Master, Your Excellency, you misunderstand. We did not ambush you. We were only greeting you and trying to draw you over. We have something to discuss with you.”
As a demon, Jiang Tea Tea could see the night as clearly as day. She saw every detail of the bug clan member’s smile. “You have something to say to me? Before you talk, tell me first. How many bugs came?”
The leading bug clan member replied, “How many bugs came is not important. What matters most is you.”
“We like you very much. We like your mutated supernatural abilities very, very much. We want to invite you to the Insectoid Race as our one and only national-treasure-level Healing Master.”
“Of course, whatever conditions you want, you can name them. Any type of male you like, money you could never spend in a lifetime, big houses, countless servants to wait on you, all the jewelry you can wear, all the clothes you can wear. As long as you want it, we will send it to you and let you choose as you please.”
Jiang Tea Tea stabbed the tip of her branch staff into the ground and propped it there. She tapped open the payment QR code on her light-brain wrist terminal and pointed it at the bug clan members. “You are so generous. Come on, let me see your strength first. Give me some money to spend.”
The leading bug clan member’s face cracked with shock. He clearly had not expected Jiang Tea Tea to ignore the usual routine, skip straight to asking him for money, and ask so confidently.
Could it be that he had really talked her into it? That she was actually willing to give up the Zhenlin Empire and go back with him to the Insectoid Race, to become one of them?
Jiang Tea Tea saw every change in his expression and sneered. “Little bug, if you have no money, just admit you have no money. Why are you drawing big, empty pies for me and pretending to be some big shot in front of me?”
“Oh, I get why you tried to ambush me instead of coming to find me openly. Turns out you wanted to freeload for free…”
The leading bug clan member hurried to cut her off. “Who said we have no money? The Insectoid Race is full of rare ores and full of money. I will transfer some to you right now.”
Jiang Tea Tea tilted her chin and warned him, “Do not transfer too little. If it does not match my status and you insult me, I will get angry.”
The leading bug clan member smiled. “Miss Jiang Tea Tea, do not worry. You are our honored guest. I will transfer it now and make sure you are satisfied and happy.”
Jiang Tea Tea made a soft sound. “I am full of expectations.”
The leading bug clan member started operating the transfer. As a spy of the Insectoid Race on the capital planet, he was generous. His first move was over one hundred million.
Jiang Tea Tea glanced at the more than one hundred million star credits and then donated them all away in one go, earning herself karmic merit. She said in disgust, “Little bug, you call one hundred million enough to satisfy me?”
“Heh, satisfy? This is not satisfaction. This is naked humiliation. You are looking down on me too much.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Tea Tea yanked her branch staff out of the ground and swung it at the leading bug clan member.
He backed away again and again, hurriedly explaining, “Miss Jiang Tea Tea, this is only pocket money, a little greeting gift. If you come back to the Insectoid Race with me, you will get ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more than this.”
Jiang Tea Tea did not only attack him. She attacked the two bugs next to him as well. “If you already show no sincerity here in the Zhenlin Empire, once I am in the Insectoid Race, you will squeeze me to death.”
“Forget it, forget it. Since you are so insincere, do not blame me for being rude. I will just leave you all here and exchange you for money.”
The leading bug clan member retreated under her blows, flustered and panicked. “Miss Jiang Tea Tea, one hundred million was just the greeting gift. After this, however much you want, we will give!”
“So insincere. I do not want it.” Jiang Tea Tea cut him off. Her branch staff cracked across his body with a loud smack, making blood spurt out.
The two subordinate bugs saw their leader get hurt and let out furious insect screams. They turned into their true forms.
One changed into a giant mantis.
The other changed into a sword-horned locust.
One was a glaring bright green. The other was a darker, deeper green.
Both of them had wings. Their claws were long and lined with jagged teeth.
They flapped their huge wings and flew into the air.
Their sawtoothed claws swung toward Jiang Tea Tea.
Jiang Tea Tea leaned her body backward. The two huge serrated claws sliced past right in front of her eyes without touching her at all.
The leading bug clan member, now free, ignored the bleeding whip marks on his body. He whipped out a gun, aimed at Jiang Tea Tea’s shoulder, and pulled the trigger with a bang.
The Shrinking Ground to Inches Technique and the speed-type ability Jiang Tea Tea had were faster than any bullet. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind the leading bug clan member. She looped her branch staff around his neck. The staff wrapped around his neck four times on its own.
Jiang Tea Tea gave a mighty swing, lifting the leading bug clan member into the air, and smashed him toward the nearby green giant mantis and sword-horned locust.
The serrated claws of the giant mantis and the sword-horned locust did not have time to pull back. They slammed straight into their own leader. With a horrible tearing sound, their sharp claws pierced right through him.
Jiang Tea Tea did not give the leading bug clan member a chance to react. She yanked the staff backward hard and tore him off their claws.
Four bloody holes in his body gushed blood. Pain made him tremble all over. He wanted to transform back into insect form and escape.
Jiang Tea Tea refused to let him. She swung the branch staff again, using the bug clan leader like a club, and threw him at his two subordinates once more.
The two subordinate bugs saw their leader being flung at them again. Afraid their sharp claws would cut him into pieces, they dodged away in a flash.
Jiang Tea Tea swung the more than hundred-jin insectoid clansman around as if she were playing. She chased them in circles, spinning him over and over.
The two subordinate bugs were forced back step by step and fell into a passive position. Just as they were wondering how to break free from this, their leader shouted at them, “Useless trash, why are you running? Attack!”
The two subordinate bugs stopped moving their feet and obeyed the order, turning to attack Jiang Tea Tea.
Jiang Tea Tea swung the bug clan leader in her hands and smashed him against an Academy streetlamp. The lamp shattered, sparks hissing out.
Jiang Tea Tea pinched a fire spell incantation. It looked like the sparks landed on the bug clan member and lit him on fire, but in truth, it was her fire spell taking effect that made his body catch fire.
Bugs were born afraid of fire. Seeing their leader like a fireball flying toward them, the two subordinate bugs instinctively dodged.
Jiang Tea Tea was only pretending to be swinging him around. Her other hand had already formed another fire spell and thrown it at the two bug clan members.
When their burning leader hit them, their bodies exploded into flames as well.
“Ahhh… hiss…” Two screams rang out at the same time.
The two burning bug clan members no longer cared about attacking Jiang Tea Tea. They dropped to the ground and rolled, trying to put out the fire.
But as they rolled, the fire did not shrink. It only grew bigger and bigger. The flames burned their skin open, roasting their flesh. They screamed over and over.
After around ten minutes, they were burned until they were barely alive, their whole bodies giving off the smell of charred meat. The flames on them finally started to die down.
Jiang Tea Tea stepped on the leading bug clan member’s face and looked down at him. “Speak. How many bugs came?”
The leading bug clan member’s face was covered in black ash and char. He panted heavily. Instead of answering her, he cursed, “Cunning pure human. You never planned to come with us to the Insectoid Race. You only wanted to trick me out of my money.”
Jiang Tea Tea pressed down harder with her foot and crushed the bug clan member’s face. “I will ask you again. How many bugs came?”
The leading bug clan member suddenly burst into wild laughter. “You ask how many bugs came. I will tell you. Countless bugs.”
“You and your schoolmates, just wait to be harvested by our bug army…”
Crack.
Jiang Tea Tea did not wait for him to finish. She shifted her foot and snapped his neck with one stomp, then kicked his body toward the other two insectoid race members.
The two almost-dead insectoid race clansmen saw their leader die with his neck broken. They wanted to fight and take revenge, but their bodies were too weak to move.
Jiang Tea Tea walked over, snapped her branch staff in half, and drove both halves straight through the shoulders of the two still-living insectoid race members, pinning them to the ground.
The two bug clan members who had not yet died let out shrill screams. Their bodies trembled as they lay there, hanging on by a single breath.
Clang!
A huge dragon roar that was not quite like a cow and not quite like a tiger rang out.
Jiang Tea Tea looked up. In midair, besides the black dragon, there were a white dragon, a blue dragon, and several mottled dragons. They were all surrounding and attacking Sui Xuan Chu.
Scales had been ripped from Sui Xuan Chu’s body. Blood dripped off him like water that cost nothing.
Jiang Tea Tea frowned at the sight. She pushed off the ground and jumped toward where Sui Xuan Chu was fighting in the air. But before she could reach him, a black capture net suddenly flew at her and wrapped around her.
Her expression shifted. She tried to call on her spiritual power to flash out of the capture net, but the black net crackled with electricity. The current rushed into her body, making her limbs and body go weak. She fell from midair and slammed heavily into the ground.
Luckily, she had spiritual power protecting her belly, so she was fine. But before she could feel relief, the capture net tightened around her. Five black-clothed, masked bug clan members rushed out, each holding a tranquilizer gun, and fired at her from head to toe…
