Chapter Nine: The Rose Could No Longer Endure

“You…”

Du Qiangwei pointed at Ge Xiaolun, her eyes instinctively showing a hint of panic as she quickly glanced toward Lian Feng beside her.

But she saw Lian Feng pause for a moment, then suddenly smile with a knowing auntie-like expression, as if amused and somewhat contemplative.

Du Qiangwei, who had only been slightly flustered moments ago, now felt a surge of unease.

It wasn’t that she believed everything Ge Xiaolun said—she could tell he was responding to her with teasing banter.

Rather, the momentum of her thoughts lingered; she was genuinely afraid that this joke might turn into reality.

From the third condition Ge Xiaolun mentioned, she had already realized that this guy was probably no gentleman.

And from yesterday to today, she had deeply witnessed how important Ge Xiaolun was in the eyes of Old Du and Aunt Lian Feng.

One fears not ten thousand things, but the one in ten thousand.

She was truly worried that if Old Du and the others had to meet Ge Xiaolun’s fifth condition, they might just sacrifice her… and she knew Old Du was capable of such a thing.

“Shameless!” After much thought, she gritted her teeth and glared at Ge Xiaolun, managing only a half-hearted curse.

“Hey! Su Xiaoli over there! Don’t you see your boyfriend is here teasing others? Why aren’t you doing something about it?” Suddenly, she had a brainwave and looked toward Su Xiaoli, who had been quietly observing from behind the coffee bar.

She knew that with that third condition in place, moral accusations against Ge Xiaolun would likely be pointless.

But then again, she could also use this to her advantage…

Su Xiaoli heard her words and sweetly smiled, her beautiful face radiant with sincerity.

“As long as I can stay by Brother Xiaolun’s side, I don’t mind how many girlfriends he has.

Sister Qiangwei, I think you’re quite pretty and suitable for Brother Xiaolun.

We should be able to live happily together.”

Her voice was sweet and clear, pure and enchanting, filled with genuine feeling.

“I…”

Du Qiangwei, looking into the sincere eyes of the stunning girl, felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her forehead, instantly draining all her strength. She sat there dazed.

Lian Feng and the others nearby watched the scene with amusement, though Du Qiangwei did not notice that they seemed unsurprised.

“You win. Don’t mess with me.”

After a moment, Du Qiangwei slumped weakly into a chair, looking at the composed Ge Xiaolun and waving the white flag in surrender.

She had come to understand that she simply could not outwit this billionaire with a joke.

Not only had he already addressed his lifestyle issues early on, but he had even trained his girlfriend like this…

Seeing this, Ge Xiaolun stopped teasing her.

“Well, since you’re already prepared, Xiaolun, would you like to visit the Super God Academy today, or wait until the day after tomorrow?” Lian Feng smiled gently at Ge Xiaolun.

“I’ll go take a look first. I can fly anyway; the rest can be sorted out,” Ge Xiaolun said after a brief thought, nodding.

For him, these twenty-two years had been spent preparing for the awakening of his super gene.

Entering the Super God Academy, although he didn’t need to appear desperate, getting in early to absorb some knowledge would definitely benefit him.

Without knowledge, even with his divine power, he would be illiterate in the world of super warriors.

Though there wasn’t much large-scale battle in the early storyline, there were still several minor plots and resource points that required sufficient capability to access.

A certain level of divine civilization knowledge was essential.

“Besides, isn’t someone still itching to beat me up?” He smiled as he glanced at a certain sulking figure nearby.

Du Qiangwei perked up slightly and quickly retorted, “Hey, that was your idea! If you’re a man, don’t back down! And no dirty tricks!”

“Heh…” Ge Xiaolun smirked lightly at her, then stood and walked toward Su Xiaoli, who was waiting obediently not far off.

Lian Feng and the others also rose quickly.

“Xiaoli, spend these days playing games and eating well. When I’m stronger, I’ll take you into the immortal ranks,” Ge Xiaolun said softly as he gently stroked the fox-ear hairpin atop her head.

He naturally had no reason to hide the super warrior matters from Su Xiaoli; in fact, he had to tell her.

Otherwise, given how inseparable they were every day and his current physical condition, she wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

So Su Xiaoli had been quietly watching all along, not startled in the slightest.

“Mm-hmm! Xiaoli trusts Brother,” she nodded her delicate head, her captivating eyes full of sweetness and infatuation.

In her eyes, Brother Xiaolun was the strongest man in the world and the one who loved her most.

He was young, handsome, capable, gentle, considerate, and caring.

She believed the happiest thing in life was meeting him at fourteen and officially becoming his girlfriend at eighteen this year.

And a proper girlfriend, not like her mother’s kind…

In her eyes, Brother Xiaolun could do anything.

And reality proved all this.

Those who had long since become super warriors were completely subdued in his presence.

No different from old businessmen and financiers.

As for Brother Xiaolun’s future ability to bring her into the super warrior circle, she never doubted it.

Capable people are the same wherever they go.

Just thinking about becoming a divine couple with Brother Xiaolun made her so happy she felt like floating…

“Brother, be careful too,” Su Xiaoli said softly, taking out the luggage she had prepared.

Ge Xiaolun took the luggage, rubbing the girl’s head gently before planting a tender kiss on her soft cherry lips.

“Mm, good girl, Xiaoli.”

Lian Feng and Ruiz exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

They certainly understood that Su Xiaoli, as Ge Xiaolun’s girlfriend, must have already learned some details about his becoming a super warrior.

From Su Xiaoli’s calm demeanor throughout, they had long figured this out.

What amused them was that Ge Xiaolun probably didn’t yet realize that his little girlfriend was no ordinary person either…

Of course, they weren’t in a hurry to tell him now.

They would keep it as a surprise for later.

“Shall we go, then?”

Without delay, Ge Xiaolun said farewell to Su Xiaoli and followed Lian Feng and the others out of the café.

He got into his silver sports car and followed Jesse’s black sedan, heading toward the outskirts.

The journey was silent; after leaving the city and winding through mountain roads, they arrived around 10:30 a.m. at a vast academy nestled among the mountains.

The Super God Academy.

The four bold characters shone brightly on the main building.

Ge Xiaolun nodded with mixed feelings; after twenty-two years, he had finally come to the place where his dream began.

“You’re really confident. Aren’t you afraid this might be a trap, that we suddenly hack you?” Du Qiangwei crossed her arms, her naturally cool, sharp face wearing a half-smile.

A whiff of tension filled the air, but Lian Feng and the others just exchanged looks without intervening.

“Trust doesn’t always require constant testing. My parents and Xiaoli are ordinary people. From the moment you didn’t use them to threaten me, I had basic trust in you,” Ge Xiaolun said with a light smile.

To him, those fanciful Super God conspiracy theories held no sway; even in his past life, he was a pragmatist.

Not to mention now, with the power of the galaxy.

Besides eliminating others’ surveillance and permissions, he need not waste energy on trust issues with the Super God Academy.

To be precise, he was the big boss of the Super God Academy.

“You, on the other hand, can’t wait to get close to me, huh?” he said with a playful smile, looking at Du Qiangwei.

“If you’re a man, stop wasting words,” Du Qiangwei sneered.

She was indeed eager.

Not only had she been awaiting a true rival to spar with, but also she could no longer tolerate the humiliation she endured last night and today.

“Need to find a place?” Ge Xiaolun glanced at the asphalt and the surrounding flowers and plants.

“Do you need a special place to beat you?” Du Qiangwei sneered coldly.

“Oh, right,” Ge Xiaolun considered briefly and nodded.
