Chapter 910 Alliance Leader's Bonus
***
The next morning,
Jiang Xiao woke up groggily, rubbing his eyes with one hand, fighting back the nausea.

When he opened his eyes, the view outside the window was pitch black.

Although it was dawn, it was winter in Beijiang Province after all.

He drank quite a bit last night. The last time he had dinner with the champion group from the first year of high school, everyone drank beverages because the competition was coming up soon.

Last night happened to be the three-day New Year's holiday, and the kids in their first year of high school didn't care about anything. In particular, the crew-cut-wearing Er-Ge (second brother) Zhu Wu grabbed Jiang Xiao and made him drink heavily, almost killing him.

Probably because he finally found a girlfriend, Er-Ge was excited. Coupled with the return of Jiang Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the atmosphere was very high.

After drinking too much, Er-Ge Zhu Wu was no longer as shy as he used to be. The corny love lines that he usually only used in the WeChat group came pouring out. Although Liu Ke didn't drink, she was also tipsy, basking in the extremely strong earthy atmosphere all night.

He really couldn't understand, why would girls like this?

Weren't they all disdainful of corny love lines?

Later, Zhu Wu shut Jiang Xiao up with one sentence: "She doesn't like corny love lines, she just likes me talking to her."

That dog!

Before he blacked out,
Jiang Xiao vaguely remembered Er-Ge's collection of corny quotes:

"Dedicate our youth to the liquor table, live in drunken stupor until death."

At that time, Jiang Xiao was unhappy and retorted:

"Life is just a few drinking sessions, whoever finishes first goes first."

Um...

Then Jiang Xiao was knocked unconscious.

Jiang Xiao rubbed his head. Speaking of which, why did he wake up so early?

He should have slept until noon after drinking so much.

Jiang Xiao propped himself up, just wanting to cast a Blessing on himself, when he suddenly shuddered: "Ghost!"

The small bedroom door was open at some point, and a girl in a white dress with long, dark hair stood silently at the door, her eyes staring at Jiang Xiao eerily, unmoving, the room eerily silent.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao expressionlessly, her heart full of emotion turned to nothing, she glanced at Jiang Xiao coldly, and turned to leave.

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head awkwardly, glanced at the clock, 4:20 a.m. Was she going out for morning exercises? But why was she still wearing her nightgown?

Han Jiangxue walked out of the kitchen carrying a glass of honey water she had prepared. Before she even reached the door, she heard Jiang Xiao's strange throat sounds.

Han Jiangxue endured it, but in the end, she still felt sorry for Jiang Xiao. She opened the door and walked in, handing the hot honey water to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao took it blankly, grinned, and took a comfortable sip.

Under the healing light of the Blessing, his physical condition recovered well.

"I'm going to take a shower, I'll be right back." Jiang Xiao put the cup on the bedside table, jumped up in a puff of smoke, and ran into the bathroom.

Han Jiangxue didn't say a word from beginning to end, she just turned on the light, silently folded his quilt, and then sat on Jiang Xiao's bed, waiting patiently.

She didn't lack patience, but she could always hear that strange sound coming from the bathroom.

Jiang Xiao was really nauseous, so he had to use a series of Milk star techniques.

As a result, it seemed that he hadn't controlled the number of times, and he became dizzy from being milked, almost falling to the ground...

After a while, Jiang Xiao came out wearing his pajamas and saw his older sister sitting so elegantly and dignified on the small bed, staring at him without moving.

Jiang Xiao felt a little strange, picked up the hot honey water on the bedside table, sat down on the floor, and said, "What's wrong? Don't recognize me?"

"You've grown a bit taller and thinner." Han Jiangxue finally spoke, her voice was very soft, but it made Jiang Xiao feel relieved. She finally spoke.

"Yesterday Elena was saying that Da-Ge... uh, that is, Zhu Wen also helped me measure it, and I seem to be 175 cm tall." Jiang Xiao said with a smile, sitting cross-legged on the floor, moving his body forward, and using the hot honey water cup to touch Han Jiangxue's slender white legs, "Don't keep a straight face, it's scary."

Han Jiangxue retracted her legs under the bed, turned sideways and curled her legs on the bed, glared at Jiang Xiao angrily, and said, "Can't you be serious, even for a minute?"

"Hehe." Jiang Xiao took a sip of the hot honey water, his stomach felt warm, and looked up at Han Jiangxue, "That's not my style, being serious is too affectionate, I'm afraid I'll cry."

Han Jiangxue quietly looked at Jiang Xiao's face. In fact, she had been standing silently at the door watching him for a long time while he was asleep, as if searching for the changes over the past month.

"Why don't you say something? I'm a little panicked. If you have nothing to say to me, go back to your room, I'm going to take a nap." Jiang Xiao paused and said, "The floor is quite cold."

"Then come up." Han Jiangxue moved her body to the inside of the bed.

!!!

You said it!

It's not like I wanted to go up there.

Jiang Xiao got up and sat on the edge of the bed. Han Jiangxue moved inward, put the folded quilt against the head of the bed, leaned back against it, and said, lying on her side, "Li Weiyi has broken through to the mid-Nebula stage."

Jiang Xiao: ???

It's dark, we're alone, small bed, you're telling me Li Weiyi broke through?

"Uh...ah, good thing." Jiang Xiao finally reacted, and also sat on the bed with his legs crossed. The floor was indeed a bit cold, his house didn't have geothermal heating.

"He absorbed the mercenary Star Bead we gave him last time." Han Jiangxue seemed to be pondering something, and continued, "By the way, I still have a Star Bead in my hand. Remember the danger we encountered in the armory last time? The Awakened who I blasted into the Shattered Space?"

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Oh, I remember."

"Take a look, and see if you can sense any Healing Star Techniques." Han Jiangxue didn't have much hope. Judging from the Awakened's performance, he should be a melee Awakened.

Jiang Xiao handed the hot honey water to Han Jiangxue, and took the Star Bead she took out of the Space Coffin.

Several pieces of information appeared in his mind.

Eight Star Techniques, so he's a Nebula Stage Awakened.

Azure Glow, Endurance, Scorching Flame, Burst Flame, Flame Arc, Flame Split, Heavy Blow, Berserk.

A fairly typical Beijiang melee Awakened.

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "No Healing Star Techniques. This Star Bead should be from the Nebula Stage. When you break through the late-Nebula Stage bottleneck, you can use it as a tool."

"Yeah." Han Jiangxue held the hot honey water and took a small sip, "Your turn."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Looking at Jiang Xiao's blank expression, Han Jiangxue continued, "Tell me what's been happening."

Oh,

You're exchanging information with me?

Do you even know how to chat?

Jiang Xiao almost laughed out loud. No wonder she looked like she was lost in thought just now, it's really interesting.

"Nebula stage." As soon as Jiang Xiao said a word, Han Jiangxue's eyes lit up.

"Pay attention to your strength. If you break the cup and spill the water on the bed, you'll have to wash the sheets for me." Jiang Xiao said quickly.

"Continue." Han Jiangxue said softly, and continued to sip the honey water in small sips.

He didn't know if she made it for Jiang Xiao, or if she wanted to drink it herself...

"Anyway, I won't show my Star Map, and I don't need to say 'one star, two skills' to the people I meet in the future. Anyway, I can embed eight Star Techniques in the Nebula Stage."

Han Jiangxue nodded: "I'll talk to Teacher Hai and Li Weiyi for you. They're not talkative people, they'll agree."

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and continued: "The Star Techniques are still the same. I learned a lot from Erwei (Second Tail), and I've also mastered the knife skills that Xia Yan taught me. My dagger skills are also good. This month was just a special training for the Beijiang League."

"Mastered?" Han Jiangxue smiled, "You're really bragging shamelessly."

Jiang Xiao smiled and didn't say anything.

What he didn't expect was that Han Jiangxue seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

Women,

No matter their age,

Their emotions are always unpredictable.

And these emotions came too quickly, right?

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiao asked with concern.

"You should have grown up normally in your first year of high school, but because of me..." Han Jiangxue lowered her eyes, her voice was so soft and small that Jiang Xiao felt sorry for her...

My little sister,

Please be sure to always be cold and keep a straight face.

If you reveal this side of yourself, how can I resist it...

"I actually like this kind of life. Compared to being mischievous in school, it's more interesting to play in other dimensions." Jiang Xiao suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead, "Wait a minute."

With that said, Jiang Xiao jumped out of bed, picked up the level 3 backpack on the computer desk, and walked back.

"Where did you get the money?" When Han Jiangxue saw the stacks of cash in the opened bag, her aura immediately returned, and she frowned, looking at Jiang Xiao with scrutinizing eyes.

Jiang Xiao rummaged in the inner layer of the bag, took out five Star Beads, and handed them to Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Xiao said weakly: "Don't worry, the money came from the right path. I sold a White Ghost Witch Star Bead and ordered a few Torch Star Beads from Ruifeng Trading Company. The Provincial League is coming up soon, and these Star Techniques can greatly increase your strength."

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao blankly, her mood was extremely complicated, and her thoughts were very chaotic. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be touched or angry.

His Blessing can be upgraded, and he should have absorbed every White Ghost Witch Star Bead himself.

What Han Jiangxue didn't know was that if Jiang Xiao wanted to upgrade Blessing to the Gold quality, he was still very, very far away. Temporarily setting aside one to improve the family's economic situation was still acceptable.

Jiang Xiao thought that if he really wanted to upgrade Blessing to the Gold quality, he would probably have to go to the Holy Ruins to encounter such a large number of White Ghost Witches.

If he simply trained in the Snow Plains, he would probably need several years to save enough White Ghost Witch Star Beads.

"Isn't your Inner Vision Star Map white flames? Since it's compatible, then let it be compatible to the end. White flames guide you to the direction of a mage output, and even more represent that you should take the path of fire magic." Jiang Xiao's voice was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing Han Jiangxue propping herself up, Jiang Xiao suddenly said loudly: "I did buy the Star Beads, but Xia Yan came up with the idea, and she ordered the Star Beads from Ruifeng Trading Company! It was her, she instigated me to do this!"

Han Jiangxue: "..."
