Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 803: Chapter 783: Nobody’s Here

Shi Bahao arrived at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory shortly after, asking where Luo Qianqian was. Luo Qianqian simply replied that she was in her dorm and told him to come up.

Shi Bahao blushed at the thought of going to the girls’ dormitory. Without hesitation, he appeared at the windowsill that Luo Qianqian had just opened.

Seeing another person besides Luo Qianqian, a beautiful girl, Shi Bahao’s face first turned red, then pale. This wasn’t...

He noticed the dorm room door was decorative and was puzzled. Looking at Luo Qianqian wrapped up like a polar bear, he was even more confused: ”What’s going on with you?” He hesitantly pointed to Qin Nuan: ”She...”

”She’s someone I trust, it’s fine, don’t worry.” Luo Qianqian said and hesitated a bit: ”Do you know any other water attribute people in the Element Group?”

Shi Bahao silently shook his head: ”How would I know? I’m a newbie too...”

Qin Nuan listened to Luo Qianqian’s unfamiliar words without a change in expression, calmly sipping her water.

”Then how do you usually handle problems with your body?” Luo Qianqian looked conflicted; she wanted to say she was nearly frozen to an ice block...

”Problem with the body? Go to a hospital?” Shi Bahao still looked clueless.

Luo Qianqian’s face was full of black lines; she didn’t want to be caught and researched as an Alien: ”What if it’s a problem that can’t be taken to the hospital?”

”What problem? It’s not AIDS, is it? Wow, you’re so young...” Shi Bahao said in a thoughtful manner.

Luo Qianqian could no longer endure it and smashed the iced soy milk onto Shi Bahao: ”Is there something wrong with your brain? Should I take you for a day tour at the psychiatric department?”

Shi Bahao looked aggrieved: ”Why can’t you just say what you mean? I know I’m dumb.”

Not just dumb, hopelessly dumb!

Luo Qianqian shivered as she hugged herself: ”Just like, entering demonhood kind of thing.” She didn’t know how else to describe her situation, so she looked at Shi Bahao innocently.

”Huh? I’ve never encountered that... But even if you have a problem now, there’s nothing you can do. Besides us newbies, everyone who reached the Fourth Level has gone off to do other things. I don’t know where they went, not a single one is here, they left a few days ago....” Shi Bahao said innocently.

The first reaction Luo Qianqian had upon hearing this was that Gongyang Chou wasn’t so powerful... After all, she saw him yesterday, which means he’s not among those people, and she was inexplicably relieved.

Luo Qianqian shivered again and helplessly looked at Qin Nuan: ”Nuannuan, you should go to class; I’ll ask Elvis to call in for me.”

Qin Nuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded but didn’t leave, instead looking at Shi Bahao. Who knew Shi Bahao, a bit embarrassed, would say: ”Since I came all the way here, could you give me what you won’t eat? I haven’t eaten yet.”

With a face full of exasperation, Luo Qianqian nodded, then asked: ”Where’s Old Man Xiao?”

”He’s still here. I’ve been eating roasted sweet potatoes and chicken with him these days. Oh, by the way, he said he wants to eat pizza this time...” Shi Bahao’s face had a hint of blush.

Stunned, Luo Qianqian fumbled for her wallet only to awkwardly find it empty...

Qin Nuan helplessly took out her wallet, pulled all the cash out, and handed it to Shi Bahao: ”Here you go.” She realized from Luo Qianqian’s expression that the old man might be quite important.

Shi Bahao looked at Luo Qianqian, who gave a slow nod, so he accepted it. He then dug in his pocket: ”This is for you to play with; I learned this with the old man when I was bored.” Then he pulled out a pile of not-so-round jade beads.

After saying that, he left through the window again, and Qin Nuan quickly closed the window. Looking at the pile of beads on the table, she shook her head helplessly: ”How old are we? And we’re girls, why would he think we’d enjoy playing marbles? These aren’t as pretty as the transparent glass marbles my brother used to give me.”

Luo Qianqian almost spit out the soy milk she had just drunk: ”Marbles? Glass? These are jadeite...”

”Huh?” Qin Nuan looked incredulous. She examined the pile, counted over twenty, and realized they were jade... Feeling them, they weren’t glass. Her face full of confliction: ”Should we give these back?”

Luo Qianqian shook her head: ”Forget it, that place doesn’t lack this stuff.”

”Then I’ll keep them?” Qin Nuan still couldn’t believe it, thinking regardless of being pillars, these are jade, jadeite... not something a pizza money could buy.

”Keep them.” Luo Qianqian nodded, then shortly after wore a conflicted expression: ”Now I don’t know how to tell you...”

Qin Nuan put away the beads and shook her head: ”Why do we need to say anything between us?”

Luo Qianqian nodded heavily, then after a moment said: ”Once I figure things out, I’ll give you an explanation.”

Qin Nuan just smiled: ”I know, I’m off to class. Call me if there’s anything.”

Saying this, she put on her backpack, nodded, and Luo Qianqian watched as the dorm door closed, sitting quietly on Qin Nuan’s bed.

Thinking from the beginning to now.

If Gongyang Chou didn’t have such powerful abilities, but he could cut off chandeliers, does that mean that if she mastered that ability, she could counteract her current discomfort from the body? After all, looking at Gongyang Chou, besides a bit of natural aversion, there wasn’t anything else unusual.

Thinking this, Luo Qianqian placed a cushion from the chair onto the floor, locked the dorm room door, and took two books out of the bag she kept by her pillow even while sleeping, checked them, found nothing unusual, and put them under her. As described in the book, when she could guide the meridians on the first page through spiritual power, circulating it nine times inside her body, she could proceed to the next page.

She was unsure at that black room due to fainting midway, not knowing what happened, so she had to start over.

Her face was serious, and she even took off her white down jacket to prevent it from getting dirty.

...

Luo Qianqian opened her eyes in surprise, what’s going on? Hardly any pressure? It was just... completed, and looking at the time on a phone beside her, only an hour had passed??? The first week should have taken several hours, right?

No... Thinking of this, Luo Qianqian suddenly realized that she had tried yesterday for quite a while, yet why did Senior Brother seem as if he had just entered?

There’s no reason Jimo Cheng would abandon her, so surely he entered right after she did; yet, Jimo Cheng had no signs of anything wrong.

Thinking about this, she realized another problem, after recalling carefully, yesterday, it seemed, time hadn’t changed much either? After returning, there was plenty of time before dinner...

What exactly is going on?
