Chapter 300: Chapter 190: Bai Zini: What, My Brother is a Superhero (Part 3)

“You mean it, huh… blue owl.”

As An Renchuan uttered these shocking words, he lifted his right hand and placed it on Ke Mingye’s shoulder, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

In the living room, Bai Zini, Qiu Xia, You Minglu, and An Hong all froze on the spot. Qiu Xia almost burst the bottle of herbal drink she was holding in her hand.

The cicadas outside were making noisy cries.

The people inside were zoning out.

Despite the fact that there was no air conditioning in the living room, just a slowly rotating fan that brushed against their cheeks, their expressions seemed to be frozen.

You Minglu was the first to snap back to reality, yet she remained composed, her face expressionless.

She slowly turned to Bai Zini, and in a flat tone spoke into her ear, “So it turns out, senior’s brother is actually a superhero, so impressive. But senior didn’t tell me something this important, it really shows that a girl who grew up with garbage doesn’t deserve to play with a girl born with a silver spoon.”

Bai Zini was stiff as a statue, first staring blankly at Ke Mingye’s face for a few seconds, then slowly coming to her senses after hearing You Minglu’s words.

Then, her cheeks puffed up slightly.

She lowered her head, struggling not to burst into laughter, and whispered into You Minglu’s ear, “Oh my god, he actually tricked us into thinking my brother is a superhero… like we wouldn’t know what this guy is capable of, I can’t even.”

“Yes, it’s too funny,” You Minglu nodded in agreement, responding calmly, “A lazy dog can’t become a superhero; I can testify to that…”

“And you, you lazy pig, didn’t you become a Magic Girl?”

“Becoming a Magic Girl is beyond one’s control. Lazy pigs can be chosen by comets and become lazy pig Contracted Beasts.”

As they spoke, Qiu Xia finally came out of her daze, pointing at Ke Mingye with her finger, gaping at him, she stuttered, “Wait, you, you, you, you—you’re the blue owl?”

“Right. Otherwise, why do you think he would be here?”

An Renchuan took a sip of hot water and answered for Ke Mingye.

“I’m not, I didn’t…”

Ke Mingye slumped against the back of the sofa, covering his forehead and mumbling.

“Blue… owl?”

An Hong murmured, finding it hard to reconcile Ke Mingye with that slightly neurotic superhero, and so she was the first to voice doubt.

“Bro, are you serious or just joking?”

“Of course I’m serious,” An Renchuan smiled.

“You mean that owl that gets beaten up every day?”

You Minglu threw in a question.

“Saying he gets beaten up every day is a bit of an exaggeration…”

As he spoke, An Renchuan chuckled twice and then teased.

“Our comrade blue owl is quite capable. He put the mechanical cyborg Lester behind bars right after his debut. Everyone calls him the rising star of the Superhero Association, and many of the association’s female heroes are his secret admirers. He’s so popular even I’m a bit jealous; it’s not as bad as you say.”

Hearing this, You Minglu rested her chin on her hand and said expressionlessly, “Your version seems a little different from what I’ve heard. When I’m surfing the web, I see people calling him ‘Qing Ya’s illegitimate son,’ ‘nepotism superheroes’; no one says he’s a star of tomorrow.”

Bai Zini was puzzled, thinking about the astonishing lying capabilities of these people, so she took her drink, brought the bottle to her lips, and gulped it down, trying to relieve her frustration.

Then she said, “Can you stop joking? Does this guy look even a tiny bit, even the slightest bit, like superhero material?”

As she spoke, she glanced over at Ke Mingye disapprovingly, then quickly looked away.

“Didn’t you say, you’ve only met once?” An Renchuan smiled, “You sound like you know him quite well.”

“Once is enough,” Bai Zini said, turning her face away as her ponytail swayed softly.

“I also think he doesn’t quite look like a superhero; he just looks like a normal high school student. An Hong’s brother sure knows how to play with us,” You Minglu said calmly.

Listening to the conversation of the three, Qiu Xia finally began to realize, “So it was a joke?”

“Otherwise…”@@novelbin@@

Ke Mingye was silent for a moment, intending to speak up, but An Renchuan cut him off.

“That’s not it,” An Renchuan shook his head, his tone becoming serious, “Because An Hong said she wanted to bring friends home to play, and since you are all Magic Girls, I invited blue owl as well. We are all superhumans fighting for the city, belonging to the same official organization, so I thought there was no need to hide our identities.”

“You’re invincible…” Ke Mingye said deeply.

“So, you really are the blue owl?”

“Do you think I look like it?”

Ke Mingye tried to make a last stand, but at that moment, An Renchuan took advantage of his distraction, grabbed his phone, opened the gallery, found a photo, and showed it to the four of them.

In the photo, blue owl and Magical Girl Feng were taking a selfie with their heads together.

Qiu Xia stared at this photo, suddenly freezing in place, her gaze quivering.

She remembered it was taken after they had resolved a public riot together. After blue owl took the photo with his phone, he asked her for her email address, saying he would send her the photo.

But at that moment, she hadn’t managed to give her email address before An Hong hustled her away from the scene.

She had felt regretful for a long time afterward and kept complaining to An Hong about why she was rushed away so hastily, though she was too flustered herself to think clearly at the time, unable to recall her own email address for such a simple task, and thus couldn’t blame anyone else.
