Chapter 283

Chapter 283 – The Black Dragon Miss

If not for that match being too eye-catching, Lolan Hill would have never recognized that this was Xing Liu, the third-place contender in the current Academy Grand Competition. According to her previous performances and aggressive fighting style in the arena, she should not be so frail.

Though still somewhat puzzled, Lolan Hill turned around and walked over, completely unaware of the terrified expression on Lan Li’s face behind her.

“Are you Senior Xing Liu?”

“Yes.”

“Do you need me to help treat you?”

Lolan Hill sat down next to Xing Liu’s bed, looking at her senior.

“Mm.”

“Where did you get hurt?”

Although she remembered that Darsi had pierced her neck, that was when she was in dragon form. In human form, Lolan Hill was not quite sure.

“At the back of my neck and my back.”

Xing Liu slowly turned around, parted her long hair, and then pulled down the back of her nightgown, revealing her fair back.

Under the sunlight, one could see that Xing Liu’s skin was well-maintained, very smooth. Through the slight undulations, one could see the faint outline of her shoulder bones and the trace of her spine protruding and then sinking below, very natural and beautiful.

Xing Liu lay face-down on the bed, speaking in a muffled voice, “The Temple Academy’s headmaster treated me, but I still feel like it’s not as good as before.”

“I understand. Let me take a look first.” After saying this, Lolan Hill gently placed her hand on Xing Liu’s spine. Her slightly cold fingers made Xing Liu shiver slightly before she calmed down again.

Lolan Hill immersed herself in her perception, slowly analyzing her senior’s condition.

To be honest, despite her outward appearance of beauty and fragility, Xing Liu’s internal muscles and bone density far exceeded Lingxin’s. Even though the power of the Dragon Sequence hadn’t erupted, the quiet flow of magic power revealed a sense of authority, making people dare not underestimate her.

The wounds inside Miss Black Dragon had healed, but unfortunately, some of the newly grown muscles and bones seemed somewhat immature compared to the original ones, making them appear uncoordinated. No wonder Xing Liu said she felt worse than before.

Was this Xing Liu senior strong-willed or lazy?

As she slowly condensed healing water droplets, Lolan Hill wondered about this question. With Xing Liu’s own recovery ability, restoring her physical fitness would only take a certain amount of time, but given her temperament, she probably wouldn’t be willing to remain weak for so long.

Gathering her thoughts, Lolan Hill began to help Xing Liu adjust her body. She first guided her own dragon magic power, allowing it to slowly integrate with the new tissues, then used the magic power of the Angel Sequence to provide some stimulation and guidance, helping her grow and strengthen.

Xing Liu felt a strange tingling sensation from the nourishment of the tissues within her, spreading from the tips of her nerves. Compared to Lingxin, this feeling was much more intense, making her want to move her body involuntarily, but she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of her juniors. So, she placed both hands above her head, gripping tightly, trembling slightly, lying motionless on the bed.

“It’s done,” Lolan Hill finally withdrew her hand after a while, helping Xing Liu pull up the blanket again.

Hearing this heavenly voice, Xing Liu finally relaxed, exhaling deeply.

“Thank you.”

“There’s no need. Senior Xing Liu, take care of your injuries,” Lolan Hill stood up, her white dress slightly warm from the sunlight, ready to leave.

“Wait.”

A hand emerged from under the blanket, grabbing onto Lolan Hill’s skirt.

“Is there anything else, Senior?”

The silver-haired girl asked curiously.

“This is for you.”

A light blue bead was passed over, a fist-sized pearl containing a sleeping black dragon.

“What is this?”

Xing Liu turned around under the blanket, her crimson eyes looking at the silver-haired girl. “This is a Dragon Treasure Pearl. You can use this to contact me, and I can also locate the position of this pearl.”

“If you ever need help one day, you can use this pearl to call me.”

“This is too valuable.”

[Dragon Treasure Pearl] (Rare Pearl Rank): A treasure created by integrating one’s own magic power and bloodline. If one practices the Dragon Sequence, they can suppress the transformation process with this pearl, regain their sanity, and also summon the creator.

Seeing the display from the system, Lolan Hill shook her head, intending to return the pearl to Xing Liu.

“Take it. Consider it an advance payment for services. Actually, I’m often injured, but I don’t want to trouble the teachers at the Temple Academy,” Xing Liu placed the pearl in Lolan Hill’s hand with both hands, and as the blanket slipped off her shoulders, it revealed her delicate collarbone.

This wasn’t entirely untrue. Practitioners of the Dragon Sequence were generally proud, and asking them to humble themselves for help was more painful than killing them. It was better to pay for treatment themselves.

“Alright, but I’m not always available,” Lolan Hill explained, adding that she sometimes needed to store the pearl somewhere for privacy.

“That’s fine. If you carry the pearl out of the school, I won’t actively seek you out,” Xing Liu had originally thought that Lolan Hill would be at the school for the next few years, saving her the trouble of searching for her. After all, once she graduated at the end of the year, she wouldn’t be a student anymore, and the Temple’s healers wouldn’t treat her for free.

“Okay, then it’s settled. See you next time, everyone,” Lolan Hill waved, leaving the rest room filled with morning light.

Sigh—

Watching Lolan Hill leave with the pearl, Xing Liu finally relaxed, exhaling a breath. She was actually nervous about being refused, because this was her first time giving a gift, and rejection would be embarrassing.

Lan Li opened her eyes wide, watching her usually authoritative and imposing senior, who today showed such a significant contrast. When did Xing Liu become so soft-spoken? It was unbelievable. Shouldn’t it be something like, “Could you come and help me treat me too?” “Not bad, here’s a reward for you.”

Xing Liu turned her gaze toward Lan Li, immediately understanding what she was thinking. Her red eyes instantly transformed into a vertical pupil like a dragon’s, causing Lan Li to feel a shock and a slight dizziness.

“Don’t tell anyone.”

Xing Liu mouthed the words, and Lan Li quickly nodded in agreement, then turned her head away, looking at the still-sleeping Lingxin on the bed. She wished she had slept through this moment. Xing Liu, the tyrant, did as she pleased at school, doing whatever she wanted.

Bang—

The sound of the window opening, followed by the winter wind blowing in, woke Lingxin up.

“What happened?”

“Nothing, the wind blew the window open. I’ll close it.”

Lan Li let Lingxin continue resting, then walked to the window to close the large-open window. The other bed was now empty, and a distant dragon roar echoed in the sky.

Thank you, Night Spirit OwO, Thief of Robes, Sitting in the Clouds Watching Planes, Illusory Dreams of Stars, Devouring Solar Eclipses, and the five donors.
