Chapter 270: Little Mo and the Little Bird

Why was Jiang Xiao flustered?

First of all, he didn’t know what the bird was going to do. And secondly, he had no idea what the owner of the bird said to it, what she asked it to do.

He wondered, However, wouldn’t it be a little inappropriate for me to heal such a cute little guy until he falls from the sky?

After all, that girl is so pretty…

Cough.

Jiang Xiao was conflicted, but in the end, he still didn’t nurse the bird and simply reached out to block it.

The beautiful bird fell directly on his hand and leaped around.

Jiang Xiao didn’t expect this little guy to be so much fun.

However, at the next moment, Jiang Xiao was stunned, because the little bird fell from his hand that was raised high and leaped onto his head…

That was not all. The little bird sat on his head and rubbed its head against Jiang Xiao’s affectionately.

This silly bird must have mistaken me for someone else.

That girl has a ponytail while mine is a buzz cut. No matter how silly it may be, it should be able to recognize its owner correctly? Or did it come to me on purpose? What command did its owner give it?

Besides, I have a buzz cut. If I had naturally curly hair like Li Weiyi, it might be reasonable for it to be a misunderstanding. But that’s not the case. Why are you perching on my head?

Could it be… that it doesn’t matter at all and it just wants to dye my hair?

Jiang Xiao, unable to speak its language, did not know that its owner had commanded it to return to her. However, the bird simply disobeyed her.

The girl cautiously walked through the crowd, ran over quickly, and hurriedly reached out for Jiang Xiao’s head. The poor little bird was still having a whale of a time and rubbing itself against Jiang Xiao’s head affectionately when it got caught by the girl.

“Sorry, sorry,” the girl said while pressing the bird against her left chest.

Yes, she pressed the bird into her chest!

The little bird’s body was smashed into bits and was turned into specks of stardust that floated in the air, seemingly getting integrated into her body.

The scene was particularly magical and fascinating.

The girl raised her fair, tender, and exquisite face which was simply gorgeous. Exuding a special aura and elegance, she put her hands together and said with an apologetic smile, “I’m sorry to have given you trouble.”

“Oh~ look at those dimples.” Jiang Xiao blinked and lowered his head slightly to look at the beautiful girl. “I’ll be able to get drunk with just one glass of alcohol!”

The girl was speechless.

“What kind of bird is that?” Jiang Xiao asked curiously.

The girl smiled and shook her head slightly. “I can’t tell you.”

“Fine.” Jiang Xiao shrugged. After all, they were competitors and there was no information about her bird on the information sheet. She had either just obtained it recently or kept it hidden as a secret weapon. It was normal for her to not want to reveal it.

“I wish you good luck,” the girl said in lousy Mandarin. She took a deep glance at him before turning around to leave.

Good luck?

Your bird is so green, how can I have any good luck?

“What kind of bird was that?” Jiang Xiao turned around and asked his dearest team for help. He had been working hard to improve his “Star Study”. However, his foundation still wasn’t solid enough. Obviously, Jiang Xiao felt that it was his own problem.

However, he didn’t expect Han Jiangxue and the rest to be unaware of that type of bird too.

The top students had never studied about it in books either!

It would be impossible to go back and check on it. Even Hai Tianqing was dumbfounded, what more the top students.

If it weren’t for the fact that the girl had pressed the bird into her chest, people would have thought that it was a parrot…

Jiang Xiao was stunned and bewildered to discover that his peers knew nothing about the bird as well.

Wasn’t I bewitched or something just now?

Didn’t I get marked?

Did she choose to target me?

The teachers and top students didn’t know anything about the origin of the bird and were equally confused. They couldn’t think of any relevant information either.

Before entering this place, their communication devices had all been taken away. Otherwise, they might be able to find relevant information on the Internet.

However, that was not necessarily certain. After all, they were talents from all over China, and the elite high school students and their teachers were all gathered there. If they were all unclear, it was obvious how rare that bird was.

In the end, some doubts surfaced in everyone’s mind.

What kind of bird is this? Does it have any special Star Techniques? What did the girl say and what order did she give to it? The girl looked rather anxious and she seemed to be trying to make her bird fly back to her. So, why did the bird fly towards the buzz cut boy?

Xia Yan frowned and asked, “Which province does that girl represent?”

She was displeased about the fact that Jiang Xiao had been messed with. Hence, her tone was rather angst.

Li Weiyi was obviously serious, for he had done his homework and research before participating in the competition. He answered, “She’s from the affiliated high school of the Normal University of Cainan Province. She’s a Medical Awakened and she has a nice name—Chumo.”

Huh? She’s a Medical Awakened too?

Jiang Xiao was stunned. Although there were more than 200 Medical Awakened in the 200-odd teams, Jiang Xiao still paid plenty of attention to them. Besides, she was gorgeous. How could he have failed to notice her…

Cainan, Cainan… Chumo?

Jiang Xiao smacked his head and said, “I remember it now. She’s that girl with the thick bangs. Wow, she actually looks so beautiful when she shows her forehead? The photo she used for registration was probably taken a few years ago, wasn’t it? Girls really do change a lot when they grow up. Her features have developed!”

Xia Yan questioned, “Chumo? Her name sounds very poetic.”

Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said feebly, “Brother Li only mentioned her name. The thing is, her surname is Xiong.”

Li Weiyi remained silent.

Han Jiangxue was speechless.

Xia Yan hissed. “Psht…”

Filled with doubts, they continued to let the staff inspect them.

Everyone was still focused on the staff clad in the red attire. Han Jiangxue was done with the inspection, but not Ying Xi and Wen Renmu.

Ying Xi was from Beijing, his surname was rather domineering[1], and he looked rather proper as well.

He had a square-shaped face, large eyes, and thick eyebrows. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and was buff and burly. If he were to star in an anti-Japanese drama, he would definitely be the hero to kill the Japanese.

He was a tall and domineering young man and a Rules Awakened who mainly had fire-series Star Techniques. All of his Star Techniques were from Beijing and the surrounding regions. He was considered a typical Beijing High School student who was a fire-series Rules Awakened.

Wen Renmu was also a target of attention. Just like Ying Xi, his surname was rather rare as well.

Are the names of ruthless and menacing people all that special?

Standing at about 1.7 meters, Wen Renmu was not tall and he had a buzz cut. He was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and looked rather ordinary. The only special characteristic about him was the fact that he was… fair!

He had superb, porcelain skin!

If he were better looking, he would qualify for a gigolo.

Compared to Ying Xi, people were more interested in Wen Renmu. Why? Because he was a Medical Awakened from Haisu Province.

In fact, regardless of which province each Medical Awakened was, they were bound to attract attention.

Of course, the Shield Warriors, Melee Fighters, and Rules Awakened from Beijiang Province may not be that powerful in terms of personal strength and Star Techniques, but the Medical Awakened from Beijiang Province were definitely competent.

After all, they had wonderful Star Techniques. Many Medical Awakened from other provinces also had Bell and Imprint from Beijiang.

In this competition, the twin sisters An Youyou and An Luming from Xindan Creek High School No. 11 had attracted plenty of attention. It couldn’t be helped since they were extremely adorable.

The comments on the Internet were all about Beijiang Province sending out a combination of a doctor and two nurses.

The people present didn’t realize that ever since the bird landed on Jiang Xiao’s head, the four students from the affiliated high school of the Normal University of Cainan Province looked at him with different gazes.

“Choose them,” said a girl with a ponytail, also speaking in a language that no one else could understand.

Everyone could see that the girl was physically gifted. She was tall and slender and had rather long limbs. While standing casually in front of the rest, she seemed to give off an erratic vibe when she swayed rhythmically.

While she spoke, she looked in Jiang Xiao’s direction with bright eyes.

“Shen Xing, please speak Mandarin.” The young man beside her pleaded. He continued, “We’re teammates.”

The girl called Shen Xing nodded and said in broken Mandarin, “There are one or two thousand students, teachers, and staff present now. They’re extremely powerful. Yet, it leaped towards a young boy. We know what that means.”

The two young men glanced at each other and said with some concern, “We have seen the tendency for various teams to form alliances.”

Chumo pondered for a long while before nodding.

Shen Xing asked with a serious expression, “His attitude just now didn’t seem too bad. What did he say to you?”

Chumo flushed and lowered her head a little. “He said that my dimples are so mesmerizing that he’s almost intoxicated.”

Shen Xing blinked her large eyes. She was initially afraid that they might have made Jiang Xiao upset because they had disturbed him. However, it seemed that they had become allies!
