Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Could You Be My Long-Lost Godfather?

Qian Qi also noticed Su Ang over here.

The young man in black with that striking silver hair was truly eye-catching, making it hard for her not to notice, not to mention that astonishingly divine beauty. Qian Qi’s throat moved, almost unable to suppress the rogue whistle that was nearly about to escape her mouth.

[Did you just want to whistle?]

Qian Qi: Don’t talk nonsense (＾－＾)~

[Your mouth was shaped like that]

Qian Qi: It’s the original owner’s habit, not mine (＾－＾)~

[...] The original owner had no habit of whistling!

Astonished by the excessively beautiful appearance of the young man in black, Qian Qi turned her head and asked the passerby student she had just grabbed, "Classmate, who is that person?"

The student looked back, instantly recognizing him, "That’s Su Ang, a senior in the Command Department."

"Su Ang..." Qian Qi looked at the young man in black from afar and couldn’t help feeling that the name matched this beauty exceptionally well. It had a distant, celestial aura, like a constellation across the Milky Way, yet also carried the presence of a superior being walking the world, leaving a deep impression.

But soon, Qian Qi withdrew her gaze.

"Classmate," Qian Qi was earnestly thinking about her first business deal and said solemnly to the student she had grabbed, "haven’t you heard of my name, Qian Qi?"

The original owner was quite famous in the Magic Plant Department and the Magic Beast Department, but here in the Skill Department, she was a nobody. After all, everyone here was an Awakener, and if it weren’t for the school rules forbidding Awakeners from attacking ordinary people, any one of these students could beat the original owner beyond recognition.

This was undoubtedly disadvantageous for Qian Qi.

She had to make sure every student in the Skill Department knew her name, Qian Qi.

Only then could she create a brand chain effect. When everyone knew that the magic potions she produced were unique, wouldn’t she be able to raise prices as she wished?

Qian Qi couldn’t help but laugh sinisterly.

Hearing Qian Qi’s wicked laughter, Xiao Wang, the student who was just passing by and got caught, couldn’t help but shiver.

By coincidence, Xiao Wang had indeed heard of Qian Qi.

One of his friends was a student in the Magic Beast Department and had told him in detail about Qian Qi’s "heroic" deeds.

He heard that Qian Qi was extremely arrogant, even the tutors and principal couldn’t do a thing about her, which made this scourge even more rampant in the Magic Plant and Magic Beast Departments.

He originally didn’t believe it, after all, how could a dignified principal be unable to handle one Qian Qi?

But his friend repeatedly warned him not to provoke Qian Qi, so when Qian Qi flaunted her name, he chickened out immediately.

"Classmate, can it be cheaper?" Xiao Wang timidly negotiated, although he was rich, he didn’t want to be a sucker!

"Tsk, I don’t do haggling here, classmate." Qian Qi patted his back reassuringly, "If you have money, buy it, hmm?"

If you don’t have the money, you don’t have to buy it. After all, she wasn’t unreasonable, was she~

Qian Qi thought she was quite easygoing, but alas, from the victim Xiao Wang’s perspective, Qian Qi’s words translated to: You have money, so hurry up and buy, otherwise I’ll mess you up if you keep dawdling about the price!

Feeling teary-eyed, Xiao Wang quivering took out his Light Brain and finally chose to lower his head and transfer the money to Qian Qi.

Oh well, it’s like paying to ward off evil, he didn’t want to end up like Chen Tong with a black mark in relation to Qian Qi!

Qian Qi was very moved by her first income. She handed the medicine pack to Xiao Wang, and didn’t forget to remind him, "Classmate, I forgot to mention, Hemostatic Medicine 998, packing bag 2 bucks~"

Xiao Wang: ???

Even the packaging costs money?

Why didn’t you just say one thousand directly!

Xiao Wang resentfully transferred another two bucks.

This ’forced buying and selling’ behavior was too much for the principal, who had been watching all along. He strode over and scolded, "Qian Qi! How can you arbitrarily deceive your classmates? Give the money back to them!"

Qian Qi looked at the principal, and after a moment, she uncertainly called out, "Dad?"

Principal: ???

Xiao Wang and Su Ang glanced at the principal.

Su Ang’s eyes showed slight surprise, while Xiao Wang felt he had learned some incredible secret.

Goodness, no wonder his friend said the tutors and principal couldn’t handle Qian Qi. So Qian Qi was actually—the principal’s daughter?

The principal, suddenly branded a father out of nowhere, was both amused and infuriated, "Who is your dad? Why are you calling nonsense out of the blue?"

"Then why are you talking nonsense right away?" Qian Qi retorted unwillingly, "What makes you say I’m deceiving people? Fabricating rumors just like that, even my dad wouldn’t do something so underhanded!"

Principal: ???

The principal trembled with anger, "You say you’re not deceiving people? Instant hemostatic is not a scam?"

"I’m not lying!" Qian Qi straightened her shoulders confidently, refusing to be wronged, "If I’m lying, then I’m your dad!"

The principal felt like he was going to cough up blood. This brat even wanted to climb over his head and be his dad?

"Take it easy, you’re not young anymore. Don’t get so angry that you keel over and try to extort money from me by pretending to collapse on my stall." Seeing the principal’s unsteady stance, Qian Qi hastily moved her small stall aside and casually asked Xiao Wang nearby, "Who is this, do you know?"

Xiao Wang: "... This is the principal."

Qian Qi: "..."

Qian Qi: "Oh my~"

Qian Qi’s previously disdainful face instantly transformed 180 degrees. She immediately grasped the principal’s hands, smiling brightly, "So it’s the principal, my mistake. Please, please have a seat, oh dear, look, I don’t even have a good chair for you to sit!"

Qian Qi beamed, her face full of wrinkles, as if seeing the mother-in-law of an excellent son-in-law, gone was any trace of her previous ruffian demeanor. "Principal, let me tell you, this hemostatic medicine is a magic potion I painstakingly created, neglecting sleep and meals. The effects are top-notch, absolutely genuine!"

Qian Qi could hardly suppress her excitement; after all, this was the principal of the Awakener University, a live advertisement. If she could let the principal personally test the efficacy of her hemostatic medicine, wouldn’t the market open up instantly?

Hahaha, truly heaven’s blessing, she thought of the ’Rich Little White Mouse’, and it really came~

"Principal, let me cut you!"

Qian Qi went straight to the point, pulling out a small knife from her pocket, her gaze like that of a starving wolf gleaming green, "Don’t worry, I just bought it and sterilized it, you definitely won’t get tetanus!"

Principal: ???

So should I thank you for being so considerate?

The principal was startled and quickly withdrew his hand from Qian Qi, his voice slightly alarmed, "Qian Qi, what do you want to do?"

"Aren’t you the one who doesn’t believe me?" Qian Qi’s expression slowly turned into a sinister smile, "Let me cut you, and then apply the hemostatic powder, and you’ll know if I’m telling the truth or not."

Principal: ...

Principal: ???

The principal’s voice broke with anger, "Why don’t you cut yourself???"

Did Qian Qi think he was stupid? Why should he risk his own body to test the effect of this phony hemostatic medicine?

Hearing the principal’s refusal, Qian Qi paused.

She didn’t expect the principal to be so timid, unwilling to let her cut him.

Tsk, is Awakener University any good, when even the principal is so weak?
