Chapter 62: Chapter 61: The Death of an Idol

Bright eyes and white teeth, long flowing hair.

Although barefaced, her lips looked as if they were painted with vermilion, her skin as white as jade, with slender fingers, and a perpetual teasing smile at the corners of her mouth.

It must be Su Qiangwei herself.

Compared to before, she’s now almost thin enough to be misshapen.

Slim figure, gentle and quiet.

Although there’s a sickly beauty about her, like Lin Daiyu, sickly is still sickly.

Thin enough to be pitiable.

Hmm…

If only this girl could be a bit more graceful when stuffing food in her mouth, and say a few less words, it would be even better.

The girl nibbles on a fried chicken leg, mumbling, “Not even enough to fill a tooth gap.”

“Where’s the promised bucket meal?”

“Such a vicious thought!”

“This must have been designed for orphans!”

Ma Ran noticed that the corner of Yang Guangzhao’s mouth was starting to twitch.

No doubt it’s Su Qiangwei.

In terms of leaving a deep impression, Ma Ran is willing to call her the strongest!

No need for small talk.

No need for makeup or dressing up.

One sentence is enough!

“Wanna eat?”

Su Qiangwei cheerfully strolled over to Ma Ran, handing over a small hamburger: “You also didn’t sleep all night, fill your stomach.”

People are iron, rice is steel, skip one meal and you get hungry.

Ma Ran is indeed a genius of Black Rock Martial Arts, also a National Guardian-level Superpower User, but after all, he is still flesh and blood, and needs replenishment!

Hearing this, Ma Ran shifted his gaze.

He glanced at the hamburger in Su Qiangwei’s hand with a bite taken out of it, his eyelids slightly twitching, after pondering for a moment, he politely declined her offer: “Thanks, I’ll eat at the cafeteria later.”

Su Qiangwei was momentarily stunned.

She lowered her head, saw the bite marks on the hamburger, blushed with embarrassment and anger, and quickly stuffed the hamburger into her mouth, destroying the evidence.

“Ungrateful!”

How dare he be disdainful?

Let him starve then!

I thought this guy had changed…

But it seems that Ma Ran is still like before, that pure and unpretentious clean freak!

Really can’t figure out what those seniors and juniors at Grass Hut Academy see in this guy!

Aside from that face which barely meets public aesthetic standards…

Aside from that outstanding temperament…

Aside from his strong abilities…

Aside from his exceptional intellect…what else does Ma Ran have that appeals to girls?

Full of annoying habits!

Hmm…

Thinking about it, that wording might not be quite right.

After all, Ma Ran is the cleanest person Su Qiangwei has ever seen among humans since she was born.

Given the chance, he’d never let a speck of dust touch him, like a character straight out of a manga, pure without a trace of earthly presence.

The word “annoying” can be removed.

“…”

After thinking for a long time, Su Qiangwei still couldn’t figure out from which angle to start criticizing him.

Liking to show off, does that count as a fault of Ma Ran?

But she herself enjoys standing out in front of others too!

Isn’t this criticizing herself too?

Forget it!

This time secretly flying to Henan using the Yukong ability, Su Qiangwei returned with abundant gains!

Apart from the trainees who went out for research and investigation, she absorbed the Superpowers of more than sixty Ability Users from Yingchuan Academy!

Once she gets a bit more familiar, she can unleash incredible combat power!

In the edgy lingo of classmate Xiao Ming…

This is a leap from “Mortal Bone” to “Divine Power Warrior,” a magnificent transformation from ugly duckling to white swan!

To say it’s reaching the pinnacle in one step is not an exaggeration!

However, during this Nightmare event in A3 District, Su Qiangwei’s physical strength and fat reserves were severely depleted!

Once her body recovers, she will show that show-off Ma Ran what true justice means by giving him a taste of the “Face-smacking Hero!”

Su Qiangwei’s gaze fell on Ma Ran, fantasizing about the day she could give him a good beating. The corners of her lips slightly curled up, showing a joyful smile: “Hehehe…”

This expression clearly didn’t look like something a normal person would have.

Adding to the fact that she was wearing a hospital gown, at least nine out of ten people would believe she just escaped from a mental hospital.

The same smile, put on someone else, would look sleazy.

But Su Qiangwei had the advantage of good genes.

Her looks were just too striking. Such a smile, instead, made her seem innocent and cute, not fake at all.

Yang Guangzhao nudged Ma Ran with his elbow: “Old buddy, this young girl has an interest in you. Make the most of it!”

Ma Ran shook his head coldly: “You’re wrong.”

In the midst of a fierce dream battle, he used Enclosure Text to devour most of the Nightmare Mother’s spiritual essence.

Now, his spiritual attribute had greatly increased, and his sixth sense had become extremely keen.

Su Qiangwei was likely fantasizing about some indecent things…

This girl was probably imagining the scene of beating him up in her mind, wasn’t she?

To be honest, Su Qiangwei’s personality, coupled with her habit of being sarcastic, if it weren’t for her strong abilities and good looks, she’d have been hammered to the ground a long time ago.

Unfortunately, up till now…

In all of China, only Ma Ran could restrain her.

Ma Ran wouldn’t offer Su Qiangwei the “Caring Fist,” “Leg of Expectation,” and “Eager Knee” from the “Rescue Package.”

That stuff was exclusively for Wu Di.

Before her rebirth, the prematurely deceased Su Qiangwei was, after all, Ma Ran’s spiritual support.

Although after the rebirth, with close contact, he felt a bit disillusioned, deep in his heart, Ma Ran still respected Su Qiangwei.

Don’t be fooled by how Ma Ran always used words and actions to provoke Su Qiangwei. He even wanted to take away her Grass Hut Academy spot after just being reborn. But he truly wanted Su Qiangwei to become better and live longer.

“Hello, Su Qiangwei.”

Yang Guangzhao ignored Ma Ran’s reply and continued with what he thought was an “assist”: “Most of the basic facilities in the A3 District have now returned to normal operation.”

“But there are still some post-disaster work I need to handle.”

“I’ll get going first!”

“Next, let Ma Ran be your guide!”

At this point, all the accompanying personnel from the military off-road convoy had already gotten off the vehicles.

Yang Guangzhao showed his credentials and enthusiastically shook hands with everyone: “I’m a first-term member of Yingchuan Academy, just call me Old Yang!”

“You’re all from Henan, right?”

“We received the orders from above earlier.”

“Your accommodations have already been arranged, let me take you to rest for a while first.”

Never mind the contradictions in his words.

Perhaps because Yang Guangzhao had complete credentials, a straightforward personality, and was clearly a veteran of the A3 base, he easily managed to lead away all of Su Qiangwei’s accompanying nurses and doctors with just a few words.

Ma Ran glanced at Su Qiangwei and immediately turned his head: “Let’s go, we’ll talk in the cafeteria.”

He couldn’t look at her too much.

The more he looked, the more heartbroken he felt.

After losing the idol filter effect, the image of the “Battlefield Valkyrie” Su Qiangwei had in Ma Ran’s heart was almost completely disenchanted.

“Distance creates beauty” is completely accurate!

If it weren’t for the confidential files that detailed the information about Su Qiangwei during this period, Ma Ran would probably think his idol had been possessed by some goofy alien.

“Bearing the pressure that no one can share, that’s how she transformed① into the ’Valkyrie’ …”

As one of Earth’s top combat powers before rebirth, Su Qiangwei, silent and cold in the official photo, her black armor stained with blood, her gaze firm, exuded a murderous aura that seeped through the paper.

Completely different from the sand sculpture girl in front of him, devouring a chicken leg fiercely.

Ma Ran led the way in silent contemplation, his mind revolving around a serious question—

In the future, will she always be like this?

①Transformation: tuì biàn, a process of sublimation through a period of cocooning or intense refinement.
