Chapter 145 Little Softie
Chapter 145 Little Softie
In the empty corridor, Song Chenggong was tiptoeing toward the stairs.
Qi Hao followed closely behind Song Chenggong to the stairwell.
Song Chenggong did not notice Qi Hao behind him, but seeing that he had left the corridor, he subconsciously looked around.
Holy crap!
As soon as Song Chenggong turned his head, he saw Qi Hao looking at him with disgust.
"Hey, what are you doing sneaking around like that? And you're even tiptoeing." Qi Hao stared directly at Song Chenggong. This is suspicious, especially so late at night.
Seemingly surprised to be discovered, Song Chenggong was a little embarrassed: "Um... I had some personal matters to attend to, I just didn't want to bother you."
"You...don't you know the room is soundproof?" Qi Hao crossed his arms, looking at him like he was an idiot.
“Uh…” Song Chenggong was speechless. Could he say that he had forgotten?
"Alright, alright, I'm pretty free anyway, take me with you, I want to join in the fun." Qi Hao saw Song Chenggong's embarrassed look; after all, it wasn't a big deal, just that his behavior was a bit strange, so he decided to give him a way out.
Song Chenggong thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright, come with me, nothing will happen."
Qi Hao also has this strange catchphrase, which Song Chenggong infected him with over a year and a half.
Song Chenggong led Qi Hao to a secluded residence nearby. The courtyard was decorated in a purplish hue, and the remote location made it seem somewhat eerie.
"Where is this? A haunted house?" Qi Hao was a little confused and looked at Song Chenggong with a puzzled expression. What was he doing here so late at night?
“This is the residence of a senior figure; he is one of the Heavenly Kings of the East Courtyard,” Song Chenggong said, knocking on the door a few times.
"Coming! Please wait a moment!" A still-childish voice came from behind the door.
Then the door was pushed open from the inside, revealing a blonde girl with a dummy mouse on her head and a patch of green clay on her shoulder.
"Hey, hello Yulijia." Upon seeing the newcomer, Song Chenggong extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"Hello, who are you? Are you a friend of the teacher?" Yulijia politely shook hands with Song Chenggong.
"I am Song Chenggong, the Heavenly King of the North Campus. I am here to..." Song Chenggong introduced himself, but before he could finish, he had already finished speaking.
Snapped!
The door closed quietly, and the sound of it being locked could even be heard from inside.
Upon hearing Song Chenggong's name, Yulijia abruptly pulled her hand back, as if she had seen a creepy old man. She quickly retreated, then slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside. This series of actions was executed flawlessly and smoothly.
Then Yulijia's loud shout came from inside the door: "Teacher! The bad guy you mentioned named Song Chenggong is here! Don't come any closer!!!"
"Huh...huh???" Song Chenggong was stunned. What had he said to Yulijia? Why was she reacting so strongly to him??
Qi Hao, however, paid no attention to Song Chenggong; his focus was entirely on the modeling clay on Youlijia's shoulder.
The green, transparent, clay-like creature, with a red core, is undoubtedly the Zygarde Core, also known as the Slime.
Xiao Ruan's eyes were fixed on Qi Hao the whole time. Even as You Li Jia moved around, his gaze never left Qi Hao, as if he were scrutinizing him.
Qi Hao looked at Song Chenggong, and Song Chenggong also turned his head and exchanged a glance with Qi Hao. They both understood each other perfectly.
Qi Hao now had no choice but to go in with Song Chenggong; he had been targeted, targeted by God.
They nodded at the same time, then squatted down together at the doorway, and with a sudden leap, the several-meter-high door seemed to disappear before them.
They landed steadily, leaving Yulijia, who was still standing at the doorway of the room, stunned. Her eyes seemed to sparkle: "Wow! Did I jump too high? That's four meters tall! Xiaoruan, look at them, they're practically Superman!"
However, Zygard's main focus remained on Qi Hao.
"Xiao Ruan?" Seeing that Xiao Ruan hadn't answered for a long time, Yulijia poked him.
"Z? (Huh? Oh! Yes, that's strong.)" Xiao Ruan finally realized what was going on and quickly tried to brush it off.
Song Chenggong quickly went to the door.
"I'm sorry, Yulijia, I need to go see your teacher directly. Although I don't know what your teacher said to you, I have a reason to see him." Song Chenggong put his hands together, looking like he was asking for a favor.
Seeing that Song Chenggong was so agreeable, You Lijia didn't want to stop him anymore. She opened the door, revealing the long corridor inside: "Alright then, let's make it clear first, if the teacher gets angry, you'll have to come out on your own."
"Okay, I promise you." Song Chenggong quickly agreed and hurriedly ran inside.
Qi Hao stepped forward, wanting to have a chat with the core of Zygarde.
Before Qi Hao could speak, Xiao Ruan jumped onto his shoulder.
“Z! (Yulijia. I’m going to talk to him about some personal matters. You wait for us here!)” Zygarde Core then winked at Qi Hao.
Qi Hao nodded and walked towards a secluded spot.
Yulijia was left completely bewildered: "Does Xiaoruan know him?"
But Yulijia didn't pay much attention, assuming that Xiaoruan had met her sometime during that time.
Moreover, in a secluded corner, Qi Hao was seriously looking at the tiny Zygarde core in front of him.
Don't be fooled by its current size of only a palm; its complete form is a Gundam several stories tall.
"Human, you've disrupted the balance. I didn't want to participate in the battle originally, after all, it wasn't easy for me to hide until now." Xiao Ruan's tone was now very serious.
"What kind of logic is this? How does it disrupt the balance? Is it because I'm strong?" Qi Hao casually found a clean spot, sat down cross-legged, and placed Xiao Ruan in front of him.
"Do you understand what imbalance is? When one side is too strong, the result will inevitably be tilted. Normally becoming stronger is also part of the balance, but are you really normal?" As she spoke, Xiao Ruan nudged the Poké Ball on Qi Hao's chest.
Kyurem's voice came from Qi Hao's chest: "What? I haven't been able to help my son at all. He doesn't have any Dragon-type Pokémon, nor Ice-type Pokémon, and he prefers to be a trainer and give orders rather than participate himself. At most, he'll step in to keep things under control when needed."
"That's the problem. You can't help him, yet he still surpasses all the students in his grade, including even Yulijia, whom I've helped. So he's the unbalanced factor." Little Soft's words did make Kyurem understand something.
"Is this why fate has destined us to fight?" Qi Hao asked, rubbing his chin.
“If you have a way to see fate, then it is indeed so, because it is an assessment from nature that even I cannot change. But if you defeat me, you will be included in the so-called balance.” Xiao Ruan said, looking at You Li Jia in the distance.
He added, "I can also make an exception for you and use my power to break this fate, as long as you admit defeat. Think about it?"
"You..." Qi Hao heard the second half of the sentence, "You're biased, aren't you? You probably still want Yulijia to win, right?"
"Hahaha." Kyurem's laughter came from Qi Hao's chest. "A legendary beast representing ecological balance actually has selfish motives? Well, it seems I'm not the only one changed by bonds!"
"You guys! How could you do this! I've already given you a break! And Kyurem, you're not allowed to laugh!" Little Soft was a little embarrassed when she realized she'd been exposed.
