High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 499: Chapter 168 Blessing Bottle_1

After bellowing, Li Meng turned towards the stunning woman on the podium, blinked her eyes, and her tone immediately became much more obedient, ”Idol! Our class monitor actually wanted to ask, who is your spouse... ”

This question is very straightforward.

A murmur of agreement rose from the classroom.

Su Shijun tugged at her long hair behind her ear and asked in a calm and composed manner: ”.....Is this your fifth question?”

Li Meng was instantly frozen in place.

Though this question was indeed intriguing, spending two of their precious question opportunities on it did seem a bit wasteful. Recalling this, the little witch couldn’t help but glower angrily at Tang Dun once again.

Before she could even formulate an answer, Jiang Yu pulled her back into her seat and stood up herself.

”Good day to you, Councilor Su.”

”I am the female representative of Astronomy Class 08-1, Jiang Yu.”

”Regarding our fifth opportunity to question... we also have another question chosen by a majority vote.” As she spoke, Jiang Yu held up the sheet in her hand and asked directly, ”Not long ago, there were some reports saying that you’ve had a child... However, the credibility of newspaper reports can be questionable, so we are all rather confused.”

”We hope to get some more detailed information, like the identity of the child’s father, the child’s name, age, and who is taking care of them now and so on...”

”Is this one question?” Su Shijun interrupted Jiang Yu’s question with a look of surprise.

She had every right to be taken aback.

Not to mention that Jiang Yu had not proposed one question, but instead, fired off a series of questions; just the implications behind these questions were enough to put people on alert.

For a young wizard, both their name and age were highly confidential information. This is particularly the case when it concerns a wizard from a prestigious family, the taboo is even more pronounced.

Since the disaster of the witch plague thousands of years ago not only did ruin the lives of countless normal people, it also struck fear into the hearts of the wizarding world.

Su Shijun refused to believe that Jiang Yu, who was from a similarly prestigious family, was not aware of this taboo.

”This is not a question, but a show of concern.” Jiang Yu responded confidently and then slowly took a large glass bottle out of her Kun Bag.

Inside the bottle, colorful paper cranes gracefully circled and swirled around the glass walls, forming a colorful funnel-shaped whirlwind.

This was a blessing bottle.

Each paper crane in the bottle embodied a witch’s most sincere blessing - malicious curses would only sink to the bottom and failed to support the graceful flutters of the paper cranes.

”...We all wish to send you our best blessings, but our blessings need a carrier.” As she said this, Jiang Yu revealed the lid of the glass bottle.

On the lid, a small brass plaque sparkled under the sunlight.

The plaque was empty at the moment.

Zheng Qing knew that only when a name was inscribed on the plaque could the blessing be sent to its intended recipient.

This gift was neither light nor heavy, but was very thoughtful, perfectly expressing the goodwill young wizards from the number one university held for Su Shijun.

Su Shijun gazed at the glass bottle, a radiant smile slowly blooming on her face.

Already quite the sight to behold, at this moment, she seemed to usurp the sun’s radiance, the entire classroom filled with dazzling light. All the young witches in the class, the little elves from the school’s janitorial committee, even the stick figure on the paper at the back of the door, everyone was transfixed by her smile, utterly enchanted.

This time, it was Su Shijun who voluntarily extracted young wizards from the enchanting effect.

”A fabulous idea, absolutely fabulous rhetoric.” she praised wholeheartedly, her voice as soft as a spring trickle, soothing, intoxicating yet clear-headed.

Pausing for a moment, Su Shijun slowly said, ”Although your questions are a bit too many... but seeing your eager participation, I can answer a few minor ones.”

Instantly, a wave of suppressed cheerfulness filled the classroom.

Xin Fat Man, though silenced by a talisman paper, couldn’t conceal the gleam in his eyes. He hauled out several shorthand quills and stacked up a pile of draft papers, filling up his entire desk, ready to write glamorous articles based on whatever Su Daxu may reveal.

”I am not going to reveal the identity of the child’s father...”

As soon as Su Shijun said this, a sigh of disappointment arose from the audience.

Just as expected.

”However,” she went on with a sly smile, ”I can tell you all that he is at this university...”

”Thump!” A dramatic thud was heard from the back of the classroom.

Zheng Qing did not turn around but could guess that some overly enthusiastic individual had knocked his head on the desk.

That sounded quite painful.

However, the incident, which would normally attract half of the classes’ attention, didn’t earn even a single glance today. Nearly everyone was too busy rejoicing and feeling proud of what Su Shijun had just revealed.

”I knew it!” Duan Xiao Jian’s shrill voice resonated from the back of the room: ”Only our university could produce such a young and talented man...”

”Cousin! Should we have someone investigate... find that heartless man, and kill him!” Li Meng, tugging at Jiang Yu’s robe, yelled excitedly, completely ignoring the murderous glare Su Ya was trowing from the lectern.

”Who could it be... Hilda? Too roguish, plus he’s already engaged; Thomas, heard that he’s messing with a female demon, so definitely not him; as for Zhang Yu, could be, but given his prematurely aging look, he doesn’t seem that lucky.” Doctor Xiao flipped through his hefty notebook at light speed, reciting name after name, unfazed by the ink splatters on his face.

Zheng Qing casually glanced at the Doctor’s notebook and spotted hundreds of names.

”Perhaps you can produce an analysis report with this list... I believe either the Campus Newspaper or our Miss Li Meng wouldn’t mind spending a few jade coins to buy it.” The young scholarship student suggested an idea to the Doctor.

Xiao Xiao side-eyed him.

”Is knowledge something to be sold?” The Doctor almost looked at him with disdain.

Before Zheng Qing could retaliate, Su Shijun took the stage again.

”The child’s name...”

As she spoke, the atmosphere in the classroom immediately cooled down a little, even those few who had been whispering and passing on words quickly followed Xin Fat Man’s example and received a couple of Suppression Symbols for free.

Zheng Qing licked his lips, feeling a hint of regret.

He realized for the first time how many tycoons were in his class and begrudgingly thought that he might have undersold the dealership of the talisman to Wandering Bar.

Of course, this thought only fluttered by in his mind before he dismissed it.

He hated trouble by nature — if selling a few talismans meant that he had to find customers, negotiate every single transaction, possibly face default payment, or even friendship bargains, he’d rather forego the business altogether.

”For now, the baby’s name remains confidential... However, he has a nickname— Neptune.”

”As for the baby’s whereabouts, naturally I won’t tell you. But I can tell you this, he has been with his father the whole time.”

””They’re both doing well... I’ve visited them at the college.”

”Thank you, everyone, for your concern!”

Without waiting for the audience’s response, Su Shijun finished answering the round of questions with a few polite phrases, swiftly moving on.
