Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman Chapter 342 - Scared Sh*tless Just At The Sight Of Them

Chapter 342: Scared Sh*tless Just At The Sight Of Them

“You want to go, I want to go even more!” Cecily glanced at Cecil, before looking at Alang. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, to the point that she was very tempted to reach out and strangle Alang.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. Cecily left the room without further prompting.

Cecil guessed that Cecily must have gone back to the power world as he watched her retreating back, before turning towards Jiji. He slid his face slowly in front of Jiji. “Master Jiji, can I stay here tonight?”

“As long as you can convince Master Jiang, I don’t care what you do.” Jiji raised its head, replying to him with a calm voice.

Cecil was terrified just at the thought of it, and he backed off immediately.

He stood up then, stating that he too was leaving. Go and talk to Jiang Shuxuan about staying over? Forget it, it wasn’t like he didn’t value his life, alright?

It was just about ten hours away from the next day anyway, he should go back and get a good rest in the meantime. He wouldn’t get good rest after getting provoked or irritated by those subordinates of Gu Xiqiao anyway.

After the two left, Alang was still sitting at the same spot, still in the same state of daze as he looked at the jade stones on the table.

He thought that Gu Xiqiao had asked for his help, and had thought that he had gone out of the frying pan and into the fire, trading Gu Xiqiao for Claude. But he never imagined that it wasn’t a fire that he had jumped into, but paradise instead. There were just so many spiritual jade stones here… he was still in a state of disbelief.

Really, he had really struck gold this time!

“Brother, are you alright?” Joyner, who was sitting beside him, poked at him after seeing his immobile form for a long while.

Alang shook his head. “I’m fine.” How could he not be fine? He wiped at the moisture that had gathered at the corners of his eyes.

“Hurry up and train,” Jiji said after finis.h.i.+ng its last round in the game. “Don’t bring shame to your future team.”

Hearing Jiji’s words, Alang nodded fiercely. Miss Gu had given him this opportunity, he definitely wouldn’t let her down! He immediately walked Joyner to her room, then moved all the jade stones to his own room and completely immersed himself in his cultivation.

Downstairs, Jiji was also about to head up, when its phone rang suddenly.

Xixi: Jiji, what’s happening in America? Yao Jiamu and everyone else suddenly went nuts. Look at the state of me and Dog Feed!

Xixi: [JPEG] [JPEG]

Xixi attached two pictures over.

Jiji opened it and took a look, seeing that it was Xixi and Dog Feed who looked to have been beaten up badly.

Jiji: I can’t believe that even though you both grew up submerged in malicious aura, you can’t even beat them. At this rate, it wouldn’t be strange if Beauty Qiao doesn’t want you soon.”

After five minutes of waiting, there wasn’t any reply.

Jiji: I say, can you type faster?

The reply came almost immediately, as Xixi had chosen to send an audio message instead.

Xixi: Do you think I’m you? I only have two claws, how am I supposed to type faster?! Also, I don’t dare to use my Blue Flames skills, otherwise, how would Yao Jiamu and everyone else be able to land a hit on me with their flimsy techniques!

Jiji didn’t want to expose Xixi at all in this matter, so it chose to change topic instead.

Jiji: There’s gonna be a new member in the Peace Squad. Beauty Qiao has given him all the jade that she has in her possession today.

Ten minutes later, Xixi finally replied.

Xixi: Dog Feed says it wants to fight him.

Jiji: Good luck to you guys then. ^_^

Jiji turned off its phone after that last message, choosing to ignore the two for now.

The next day, Gu Xiqiao woke up slightly later than usual. Jiang Shuxuan was already up and about when she came down, and was sitting on the floor next to the sofa, looking at a map.

“What are you doing, Brother Jiang?” Gu Xiqiao had just brushed her teeth, glancing at him and finding that he was looking at the map of America.

He placed the map on the table, pointing somewhere with his slender fingers. “This place is too close to the residential area. Even with enhancement and arrays, it won’t stop them from knowing that something is going on here.”

Gu Xiqiao took a look at the area that he had pointed to, and it was indeed too close for comfort. Even if the aura didn’t leak out when the time to fight came, the ordinary people around the area would definitely feel the vibrations from the ground.

“There’ll also be a lot of loud noises from those thugs.” Gu Xiqiao was already aware of this fact. “We’re only bothered with the fight, leave the others to the higher-ups of America, they’ll definitely find some suitable reason to explain it.”

“We can do that too.” Jiang Shuxuan looked at the four points drawn on the map, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

“Jiji, where’s Alang?” Gu Xiqiao turned her attention towards Jiji, who was researching who-knows-what at the side.

She hadn’t seen Alang, but Joyner was sitting next to Jiji, watching its dexterous hands as it did what it was doing, her clear blue eyes not leaving the sight even for a moment.

Jiji looked up from the pile of parts it was tinkering with. “Morning, Beauty Qiao. Alang’s still in his room, he hasn’t come out since last night.”

So, he was still training. Looks like he was still someone who could listen to reason and be taught, Gu Xiqiao thought as she touched her chin. She then smiled at Joyner. “Joyner, open your mouth.”

Joyner immediately looked up at Gu Xiqiao. She really liked the aura that Gu Xiqiao was giving off, but she didn’t dare to come much closer because of Jiang Shuxuan, and sat next to Jiji instead. There was a hint of surprise in her sapphire eyes when she heard Gu Xiqiao’s words, but she opened her mouth obediently.

A white light flashed on Gu Xiqiao’s fingertips, and a white pill appeared. With a flick of her slender white fingers, the pill flew directly into the younger girl’s mouth.

Jiji saw the startled look on Joyner’s face, but she proceeded to swallow the pill without hesitation. Its mechanical hand paused for a moment, and Jiji muttered, “How clever.”

Gu Xiqiao watched as Joyner swallowed the pill, and sat down in satisfaction to eat the breakfast that Jiji had bought for her. As she ate, she thought about how shocked the person who sold the food to Jiji must have been. Before she could finish eating, Cecily’s call came.

“Qiao Qiao, why aren’t you here yet?” Could Cecily not be so anxious? She had arrived at the zoo early in the morning, and had waited a long time but there was still no sign of Gu Xiqiao, and that’s why she gave her a call in the end.

With the way she had been in a hurry to speak, all she got in reply was in a form of a deep, cold voice. “What’s wrong with you?”

Even though it was only over the phone, Cecily could practically feel the frostiness of the person on the other end. She couldn’t help but rub her arms for warmth as she stuttered, “Y-Young Master Jiang, where’s Qiao Qiao?”

Seeing that Gu Xiqiao was done with her breakfast and was currently sitting down on the sofa, drinking a cup of milk, he handed the phone over to her.

Taking the phone from him, Gu Xiqiao replied lazily, “Cecy, we’ll be there at twelve.”

After receiving an answer, Cecily hung up the call after reminding Gu Xiqiao not to forget.

“Jiji, show me the situation in j.a.pan.” Gu Xiqiao said as she swiped through Weibo.

This time, the outbreak was going to occur in five locations. There wasn’t much time difference between America and j.a.pan, and Gu Xiqiao obviously wanted to be kept updated about the situation in j.a.pan.

“I’ve been staring at it for a long time, Beauty Qiao,” Jiji replied without looking up.

At this time, Joyner, who was sitting beside Jiji, started to breathe heavily. Sweat poured down her forehead, and it continued on for almost an hour before her breathing finally stabilized. At this point, she seemed to resemble a fish that had just gotten out of water.

Gu Xiqiao put down the phone in her hands, lifting Joyner’s chin with her fingers. “Go up and take a shower, then come back down and let me take a look at you.”

Joyner felt the strength coursing through her body, feeling stronger than ever. She nodded excitedly, then hurried upstairs to take a shower.

“Wake him up.” Jiang Shuxuan instructed Jiji after taking a look at the time.

Jiji naturally knew who he was talking about, and set off upstairs immediately to wake Alang up. It had just been one night, but Alang’s aura had changed significantly, and he looked at Jiji with some excitement on his face when he opened the door.

“Getting so excited over such a small matter, you’ll be facing even more surprises just by staying at Beauty Qiao’s side,” Jiji studied him, and said calmly.

Alang nodded his head, trying hard to conceal his excitement. But when he saw Joyner emerging from the room beside him, her usually pale face flushed with a healthy glow and an energetic look on her face, he was stunned speechless.

“How are you…”

“Brother, Sister Gu gave me a medicine pill, and I feel like my body is greater than ever.” Joyner looked up at Alang, her eyes sparkling with joy.

“Yeah.” Alang managed to choke out as he was pulled along by Joyner downstairs.

Downstairs, Gu Xiqiao was still sitting on the sofa, an indifferent expression on her face. When the two came downstairs, Gu Xiqiao beckoned to Joyner to come to her. Stretching out her right hand, she felt Joyner’s pulse. After a long while, she sighed.

This sigh made Alang’s heart jump to his throat.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Gu Xiqiao said, in a slightly annoyed tone, “Without the medical labs, I can’t only patch up so much of your innate weakness for now. When we’re back in China, I’ll treat you thoroughly.”

Joyner nodded her head obediently, but she probably didn’t understand what Gu Xiqiao was talking about.

But Alang understood!

He had been excited and grateful at first, but now that he had fully processed everything that had happened, he realized that just where Gu Xiqiao’s strength actually lay, and was once again in a state of shock.

His sister’s sickness had already been looked at by countless famous doctors in America, and she had to live in a sterile room since she was a child. Even though there hadn’t been any progress in the sickness in her, her body continued to only get weaker as the years went by.

And now, in just a single day, Joyner’s illness had recovered by at least half, from what he could see!

All because of the medicine pill that Gu Xiqiao had fed Joyner!

It was then he finally believed Cecil’s words. If her medical skills were considered to be second best in the world, then no one would dare to claim to be the first!

Apart from her, who else could achieve such an impossible feat?

Alang turned his eyes to his sister, and she looked just like any other person right now. He felt as though he was in a dream and had woken up, seeing his sister was better, and his strength had also improved.

He raised his head, looking at Gu Xiqiao’s annoyed face, and was rendered completely speechless.

Curing his sister to this extent in less than a day, and she was disgusted at how ‘little’ progress it was? Alang already wanted to kneel down at her feet in grat.i.tude, okay? He was so grateful to the point that word failed him, and could only feel his mind spinning at lightning speed, and his entire person was about to explode at the many things that happened in such a short span of time.

However, the only thing he couldn’t conceal was the wors.h.i.+p and admiration for Gu Xiqiao in his eyes.

“Alright, stop being silly in your happiness.” Jiji had installed a compa.s.s on its chest, and was no longer surprised at the people who so easily converted to wors.h.i.+ping Gu Xiqiao anymore by this point. “Hurry up and go, Beauty Qiao and the rest have already left.”

Go? Where were they going? Alang hadn’t managed to collect himself, but he still followed Jiji and left the house.

At the zoo in the capital of America, all the people had been cleared out, and the area was empty.

There were now dozens of higher-ups of America gathered in this place. A man with a beard looked towards Cecily, then to the leader of the United States. “Leader, are you really sure a problem will occur here? You believe those words? It’s ridiculous!”

“Patriarch Nali, you shouldn’t doubt Miss Gu’s judgment.” The leader of America said, his voice hard and cold.

“I’m not doubting her words, but look at it, there’s nothing out of place here in the zoo, how can a problem suddenly occur here?” Patriarch Nali was still insistent, and was aggressively trying to prove his point. “And you said they’ll be here at twelve, but where are they? It can’t be that they ran off because they felt guilty, right?”

“There’s still twenty seconds to twelve.” Cecily flicked her wrist, looking at the watch, then glancing at Patriarch Nali with a bored face.

Gu Xiqiao had the tendency to arrive right on the dot, and Cecily was fully aware of the fact.

“You…” Patriarch Nali was about to say something to Cecily’s words, when a black car pulled up next to the zoo. The car came to a slow stop, and four people plus one robot stepped down from it.

The two figures that lead the group were extremely eye-catching, and it wasn’t just because of their attractive appearance. The aura that they exuded was something no one could ignore, and chills shot up their spines when they looked at the two.

Cecily glanced at her watch again, and the number just jumped from 59 to 00 at this moment.

She smiled to herself, then looked towards Patriarch Nali, who had been so aggressive just a second ago. The other had already closed his mouth, shrinking behind the leader without so much as a peep, a horrified look on his face.

Weren’t you still having a face full of doubt just now? Didn’t you want to confront Gu Xiqiao just a moment ago? What, were you scared sh*tless just at the sight of them?
