Chapter 34: The Fallen Angel Goddess Club!
"I'm heading to school. You two behave while I'm gone."
"Mm."
"Remember! Come home early! I'll be waiting for you!"
Bai Xuan closed the door behind him and set off toward school.
By his calculations, Bai Yu would return tomorrow, but he still hadn’t found a suitable Secret Base.
How am I supposed to find a Secret Base, anyway...?
He walked on, brow furrowed in thought.
He was just about to step onto the crosswalk when a black Maybach came barreling out of nowhere, nearly running him over.
He glared after the car as it sped away, utterly indifferent.
"What’s wrong with you? Can’t you see the light is red?!"
He muttered a curse, memorized the license plate, and continued on his way.
Suddenly—
Four enormous wolves, each more muscular than a tiger, erupted from behind, charging straight past him.
"Monsters?!"
Bai Xuan instinctively tensed, ready to defend himself, but the giant wolves paid him no mind. They thundered past, chasing after the Maybach.
He instantly understood what was happening, but this—well, it wasn’t his problem.
No way he could outrun a car, anyway.
"Guess I need a mount," he muttered, quickening his pace.
As he neared the school gates, he spotted that same familiar Maybach—just pulling up at the entrance.
S888?
Isn’t that the car that nearly hit me just now?
Right then, a familiar figure stepped out.
Su Yue!
"Hmm?"
After getting out, Su Yue immediately noticed Bai Xuan nearby.
She gave a gentle smile and took the initiative. "What a coincidence, Bai Xuan."
"Yeah, what a coincidence," Bai Xuan replied, his tone edged with sarcasm. "Looks like we’re the only two running late today."
"......"
Su Yue paused for a split second, then resumed her warm smile. "Sorry about earlier—almost running you over. I apologize on behalf of my driver."
"No big deal."
Bai Xuan said nothing more and headed straight for class.
Su Yue bit her lip, a flicker of puzzlement in her star-bright eyes.
She murmured softly, "Why doesn’t it work on him...?"
"But... he really does have the strongest psychic field in this area."
She pondered for a moment, then a faint, meaningful smile touched her lips.
"He’s got potential."
——
At lunch, Bai Xuan used his "Legendary Perspective" to check in on Serene and Mare Alera back home.
Serene was no trouble, quietly reading in her room.
Mare Alera, on the other hand, was racing around, leaping onto the bed, grabbing his pillow, and rolling around kicking her legs like a cat...
Are you really a dragon?
No—you’re a cat, aren’t you?!
Wait—stop biting my pants!
Sigh...
Bai Xuan let out a long breath. He really needed to find a new place to live—fast.
If this kept up, Mare Alera was going to tear the house down brick by brick.
"Bai Xuan, what are you thinking about?"
Just then, Zhao Fan and Lu Meng appeared at his side.
"Nothing much," Bai Xuan replied.
But before he could say more, Zhao Fan slammed both hands down on his desk.
Bai Xuan blinked, startled. "What’s up?"
"Bai Xuan!" Zhao Fan declared, deadly serious, "Are you interested in joining our club?"
"A club?" Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow. "What kind of club?"
"The Fallen Angel Goddess Club!" Zhao Fan replied, eyes shining.
"Yeah!" Lu Meng echoed, nodding emphatically.
"...?"
Huh?
Bai Xuan was dumbstruck the moment he heard the name.
What?
Fallen Angel Goddess Club?
What kind of ridiculous name is that?
"So this club..." He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What exactly do you do?"
"Isn’t it obvious? We support the angel, of course!"
Zhao Fan threw his hands up as if making a solemn vow. "Miss Su Yue! Our angel! We’ll protect her forever!"
Lu Meng nodded even harder. "Yeah!"
"Uh..." Bai Xuan frowned.
Had his friends lost their minds?
But one thing was certain: there was something off about Su Yue.
He needed to investigate her properly.
"I refuse," he said, standing up and heading for the door.
"Refuse? Bai Xuan! How can you refuse? She’s an angel!"
Lu Meng echoed, "Yeah!"
"Even if it was dog shit, I’d still say no. I refuse!"
——
Once he left the classroom, Bai Xuan slipped into an empty corner and activated his invisibility.
He began searching the school for Su Yue, determined to figure out who—or what—she really was.
It didn’t take long before he found her in one of the club activity rooms.
The room was packed with female students, apparently in the midst of a... tea party?
They were all crowded around Su Yue, showering her with praise and adoration.
"Su Yue, could you teach us how to make desserts? Yours are just too good~"
Su Yue took a delicate sip of tea and smiled. "Of course. It’s not that hard. If you practice with me a few times, you’ll pick it up in no time~"
"Su Yue, how do you keep your skin so perfect?"
Su Yue answered softly, "Just use a face mask every day, and take three baths a day in ‘Water of Life.’ That’ll keep your skin radiant."
Bai Xuan: Three baths a day?
"Su Yue! Can I have your autograph?"
Su Yue nodded kindly. "Of course, but my signature isn’t worth much—just a little keepsake~"
"Ahhhhh!"
"Angel!"
Bai Xuan: ...?
Bai Xuan observed for a while but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
The only thing unusual was how unnaturally popular Su Yue was.
Every little thing she did became a trend; even the smallest gestures sent the room into a frenzy.
Could she be...
A Spirit-type Supernatural?
Bai Xuan didn’t linger. With class about to begin, he headed back to his classroom.
No sooner had he entered than Zhao Fan and Lu Meng swarmed over.
"Bai Xuan, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?"
"Nope."
"We already have over two hundred members in our club!"
"So?"
"If you join, you get two hundred yuan a month—club benefits, straight from Miss Su Yue herself!"
"...?"
"I’m in!"
"Alright, class, settle down!"
The bell rang. The teacher entered, motioning for everyone to quiet down.
"Today, we have a new transfer student joining our class."
"A transfer student?"
"Our class gets one too?"
"Is it a girl?"
Chatter filled the room. Everyone was curious.
Bai Xuan was a bit surprised as well. There was already Su Yue from the neighboring class, and now their own class had a transfer student?
Ninghang City sure was lively these days.
Not that he really cared.
"Come in," the teacher called.
A girl with her hair in a bun entered. "This is our new classmate—Li Hongyou."
Bai Xuan: Huh?
