Chapter 160: Moral Blackmail? We Are Not Stupid, Our Spit Could Drown You
Sui Xuan Chu was startled by the three of them suddenly rushing over, but he still shot out an arm in front of Jiang Tea Tea in a protective pose.
Jiang Tea Tea stood behind him, her eyes cold as she watched Wolf Xin Rui and the other two panic. She did not say a single word.
Wolf Xin Ping anxiously tried to comfort Wolf Xin Chong: “Xin Chong, it is okay, it is okay, don’t be scared. Cha Cha is our younger sister. She will not be able to stand seeing you in so much pain. She will definitely help you calm your rioting supernatural ability and smooth out your spiritual power.”
Wolf Xin Chong grabbed Wolf Xin Ping’s arm in return and cried out in pain: “It hurts, it hurts so much. My spiritual sea feels like it is exploding. My supernatural ability feels like it is tearing me apart.”
“I cannot take it anymore, I cannot take it. Cha Cha, good younger sister, save me, hurry and save me, it hurts, it hurts so much.”
Seeing that Jiang Tea Tea still did not move, Wolf Xin Rui stomped her foot and raised her voice: “Jiang Tea Tea, he is your older brother. His supernatural ability is rioting and he is in unbearable pain. As a 3S-level variant plant-type healing ability user, how can you be so cold and indifferent?”
Jiang Tea Tea still did not move. Her gaze on the three of them was like she was looking at three dead things, without a ripple of emotion.
Wolf Xin Ping could not calm the agonized Wolf Xin Chong. Xin Chong clutched his head and started rolling on the ground again, knocking into the cleaning robots and kicking over tables and chairs.
In the school cafeteria, the students who came one after another to eat all gathered around. They looked at the suffering Wolf Xin Chong with sympathy in their eyes.
With more people watching, Wolf Xin Rui spoke even louder: “Jiang Tea Tea, you are a 3S-level variant plant-type healing ability user. You have a beastman male in front of you whose spiritual power is rioting. You refuse to help and just watch him suffer and watch his spiritual sea be torn apart?
As a healer, before you study healing, you must memorize the healer’s oath. One of the lines is that you cannot ignore someone who is dying. My younger brother is in so much pain right now and you still refuse to act. Are you betraying the healer’s oath?”
Wolf Xin Ping hurriedly added: “Jiang Tea Tea, if you saw a beastman whose supernatural ability was rioting on the street, you would help him without thinking. Now the one in pain is your own older brother. How can you watch your own older brother die without saving him?”
“Everyone, come look, come look!” Wolf Xin Ping shouted. “Jiang Tea Tea is the daughter our White Wolf tribe lost, the younger sister we lost. We recognize her, but she refuses to recognize us. She even watches us die without helping.”
“Come on now, Wolf Xin Rui, Wolf Xin Ping, Wolf Xin Chong, the way you three are acting, are you really saying this is not moral blackmail?”
Sui Xuan Chu had originally wanted to speak up and start swinging, but he did not expect that although the onlookers had sympathy in their eyes, every one of them was clear-headed. They rejected the moral blackmail and directly started talking back.
Someone snorted: “Be more confident and drop the words ‘are you really saying.’ This is moral blackmail. For us beastmen with abilities, pure humans, and women, who does not carry an emergency injection for a rioting supernatural ability in their space knob storage device or in their bag?”
“Fine, even if you really don’t have an emergency shot, it is obvious you came here for Jiang Tea Tea. From your words and tone, the whole point of this moral blackmail is to force her to calm your rioting supernatural abilities and straighten out your spiritual power.”
“Jiang Tea Tea really is a 3S-level variant plant-type healing ability user, but she has the right not to treat you, especially people like you who knocked her out just to steal her credit and went to kill the bugs yourselves to claim the merit. People like that already have a problem with their character.”
“If she treats you and your abilities level up, you will not say anything. But if she treats you and it goes wrong and your abilities do not level up, you will definitely complain and cause trouble for her.”
“That trouble can be seen from a mile away. It is not like she is brainless. Why would she rush up to look for trouble herself?”
“Exactly. Ever heard the old saying, a dog cannot stop eating shit? Who knows if you three, after failing to steal her credit last time, came up with another trick to hurt her again.”
“She is the only 3S-level variant plant-type supernatural ability healer in our country and even in the whole interstellar space. The value of the three of you together is not as much as a single strand of her hair.”
“And you still talk about older brother, older sister, younger sister. It is a joke. Jiang Tea Tea’s life story, how she grew up, is no secret in the whole Empire. When she was being suppressed painfully by the Jiang family for those years, where were you? You even went to the same academy as her. Why didn’t you offer her any help then?”
“Now you come after everything is over to play the wise ones, to pick the peaches. Tsk, are you addicted to stealing other people’s fruits of labor or what? I really despise you.”
“They are not just addicted to picking peaches. They just think raising a child costs more than picking one up for free. They lost a daughter and never went to look for her. They watched her live worse than death right under their noses and never helped. But now that she is useful, they swarm over like a bunch of flies.”
“Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, let me tell you, with a blood family like this, with such older brothers and older sisters, you are better off without them.”
“Right now the commander in chief, Chong Ming, values you and wants to train you. You are also a 3S-level variant plant-type healing ability user with limitless prospects. You must not acknowledge them and let them suck your blood.”
“Right, right. Now no matter how remote the star system or planet, as long as you are a common citizen of the Empire, from the moment your citizen ID is made at birth, your fingerprints, genes, and blood type are all entered into the system.”
“If someone loses a daughter, they just need to go to the local department and draw a bit of blood. They can search the whole Empire.”
“They did not search early, they did not search late. They only started searching after your 3S-level variant healer identity was exposed. What are they trying to do, what are they thinking? You do not even need to use your brain. You can figure it out with your toes.”
Jiang Tea Tea did not say a single word. She just watched coldly while the crowd saw through the triplets’ thoughts. They tore open every bit of their schemes and moral blackmail without mercy.
Wolf Xin Rui and the others had thought their act was perfect. They thought they could use the rioting supernatural ability as an excuse to blackmail her into calming their abilities and smoothing their spiritual power so their ability levels could go up. What a joke.
Of the three, one was still rolling around in “pain” while the other two exchanged a look. Even though they had been seen through, they still refused to admit it, stubborn as dead ducks whose mouths would not open.
“Classmates, what are you talking about?” Wolf Xin Rui protested. “Our younger brother’s supernatural ability rioting cannot be faked, his pain cannot be faked. We are only asking her to help once. How did that turn into us wanting to suck her blood in your mouths?”
“Our dad and mom have always been looking for her,” Wolf Xin Ping added. “The Jiang family changed her gene profile so we could not find her. At first we did not even know she was at this academy. If we had known, we would have acknowledged her long ago. How could we have waited until now?”
“You say we only recognize her now because she has value. Impossible,” he said. “She is our younger sister. Blood is thicker than water. Even if she had never awakened any supernatural ability, she would still be our younger sister.”
“We already know we were wrong about the five bugs before,” he continued. “We have already written a letter admitting our mistake.”
“All of you are about the same age as us. Can you guarantee that you will never have a moment of confusion and make a mistake?”
“Cha Cha, don’t listen to their nonsense,” Wolf Xin Rui said quickly. “Dad and Mom, we, and all your other brothers and sisters all hope you can come home. We all want to give you love.”
“If you really do not want to heal Xin Chong today, it is fine,” she said. “We can send him to the healing room. He can be treated there.”
Jiang Tea Tea finally opened her mouth and answered lazily: “Go ahead.”
Wolf Xin Rui froze: “What?”
Jiang Tea Tea patted the arm of Sui Xuan Chu who was standing in front of her.
Sui Xuan Chu stepped aside to stand by her side, watching Wolf Xin Rui and the other two warily in case they suddenly attacked.
Seeing Jiang Tea Tea walk toward her, Wolf Xin Rui’s eyes lit up. She could not wait to call: “Cha Cha, younger sister…”
Jiang Tea Tea cut her off: “Don’t call me younger sister. Don’t randomly claim to be my relatives. I am not your younger sister. I have nothing to do with you.”
“I am a healer, but I have the right to refuse anyone I do not want to heal. Never mind that Wolf Xin Chong is only pretending his supernatural ability is rioting here. Even if his ability really rioted and he died right in front of me, it would still have nothing to do with me.”
Wolf Xin Rui blurted out: “Who says he is pretending?”
“I say so.” As Jiang Tea Tea’s words fell, she flashed forward and used action to prove it, kicking straight at the writhing Wolf Xin Chong.
With a jolt, Wolf Xin Chong rolled and scrambled to his feet, using both hands and feet. He pointed at Jiang Tea Tea and shouted: “Jiang Tea Tea, how can you be so vicious? It is one thing if you refuse to heal me, but you even kicked me?”
Jiang Tea Tea put down her leg and laughed mockingly: “If I really kicked you, you would not have been able to run away at all.”
“Now not only did he dodge, he is full of energy.” She turned to the crowd. “Seniors and classmates, did you see that? As a healer, I did not even need to use my hands. I just used my foot, and Wolf Xin Chong’s ‘rioting’ supernatural ability was cured.”
“Hahaha, junior schoolmate is amazing, really amazing.”
The watching students did not leave them any face and all burst out laughing loudly.
“Wolf Xin Chong, junior schoolmate has healed you now,” someone joked. “Make sure you settle the bill later. A 3S-level variant plant-type healer charges at least one hundred thousand star credits per treatment. Don’t forget to pay.”
“Yeah, Wolf Xin Chong, all of us here are witnesses,” another added. “If you do not pay later, we will go on the academy intranet forum and denounce you.”
Wolf Xin Chong almost rushed forward to roar at the crowd, but Wolf Xin Ping held him down. Wolf Xin Ping looked at Jiang Tea Tea and said: “Younger sister really is amazing…”
Smack.
Jiang Tea Tea could not hold back anymore. For the restless, furious remnants of the fake young miss’s consciousness inside her body, she swung her palm and slapped it across Wolf Xin Ping’s face, cutting off his words.
The school cafeteria fell silent. Everyone’s eyes instantly landed on Wolf Xin Ping’s face. Five clear finger marks appeared on his cheek and quickly swelled red.
Blood slowly seeped from the corner of Wolf Xin Ping’s mouth. His gaze turned vicious: “Jiang Tea Tea, what right do you have to hit me?”
Jiang Tea Tea shook her stinging hand and said coldly: “The same right you think you have to recognize me as your younger sister is the right I have to hit you. If you are unhappy, I allow you to fight back and challenge me.”
