Chapter 731: Chapter 442: Su Yue’s Abnormal Transformation

"Alright, leave that place at once," the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect said. "I’ll personally meet with Wu Xinggao later to discuss dealing with that masked assailant."

It was now confirmed that the masked assailant was a difficult foe. To resolve the matter once and for all, the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect decided to visit the Wu Family personally and discuss a plan with Wu Xinggao face-to-face.

"Yes, Sect Leader." The man in Night Clothes nodded and deactivated the Spiritual Artifact in his hand.

The Spiritual Artifact, which had been glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, returned to its unremarkable appearance. He then slipped it back into his pocket.

The night was hazy. The WHOOSH of the wind and the SPLASH of water echoed intermittently across the ruined pier.

Before its destruction, the pier had several warehouses. After the great battle, they were all ruined, their contents consumed by fire.

In the dead silence, rats scurried brazenly among the rubble of the destroyed warehouses, seeming quite content.

The man in Night Clothes watched a rat dart out from a distant patch of grass and disappear into a ruined warehouse. He muttered to himself.

’Next, the Sect Leader will personally see Wu Xinggao. Once they’ve drawn up a plan to deal with the masked assailant, we’ll send people to assist.

’I’ll most likely be chosen by the Sect Leader for the support mission. Then, I’ll finally get a chance to cross swords with that masked assailant...’

The sound of his faint muttering drifted away on the wind. A weak, pale golden Spiritual Light flickered intermittently in the eyes of the man in Night Clothes.

The man previously sent to help the Wu Family take down the masked assailant was Purple Claw, whose strength in the Blood Killing Sect was second only to the Sect Leader.

Even Purple Claw had spoken of the masked assailant with lingering fear, a testament to the man’s immense power.

But even so, the man in Night Clothes, whose strength was slightly inferior to Purple Claw’s, felt he could have done better. He believed that by leveraging his own abilities and launching an all-out surprise assassination, he would have performed much better than Purple Claw.

A moment later, the figure on the pier vanished, and the scene plunged into dead silence.

......

On Blue Star, the newly risen sun shone brilliantly, gilding half the sky in gold.

"CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP..."

Common city birds chattered noisily as they flew toward their usual feeding grounds.

The brilliant morning sun streamed through a gap in the curtains, casting a dazzling patch of light across the hardwood floor.

The dim room brightened. As the noisy birdsong drifted inside, the long eyelashes of the figure on the bed fluttered, and she opened her eyes.

A faint blush tinged Su Yue’s pretty face, and she still seemed half-asleep.

She extended a slender, fair arm from under the light comforter and gently rubbed her eyes, looking drowsy.

A few strands of soft, black hair fell across her smooth forehead, gently brushing against her lovely face.

"Yaaawn~"

"Oh, dear. I stayed up too late watching videos on how to make mooncakes," Su Yue mumbled, covering a yawn.

After parting ways with Lin Li yesterday, she had returned home, taken a shower, and then laid in bed looking up tutorials on how to make mooncakes.

She’d accidentally stayed up past midnight, which was why she was still so sleepy this morning.

’After work today, I’ll go to the supermarket and buy the ingredients for mooncakes. I have to make them before I go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.’

As Su Yue thought about her mooncake-making plans, she sat up.

The light comforter covering her slipped away, revealing her slender and graceful figure.

Her lustrous, soft black hair was draped over her back. She wore a simple black silk slip. Even though the nightdress was a loose, oversized style, it still failed to conceal her stunning figure.

She got out of bed, stretched her arms lazily, and walked out of the bedroom, yawning as she went.

Su Yue spent six or seven minutes washing up. She first returned to her bedroom to change out of her pajamas, then went to the kitchen and made a simple breakfast for herself: toast with jam, two fried eggs, and a glass of milk.

Today, Su Yue wore light makeup on her lovely face, and her long, soft black hair was swept up into a high bun.

She was dressed in a black business suit with a skirt. Her ample bosom stretched the collar of her blouse taut, and the skirt’s hemline, which ended just above her knees, gave her a dignified yet elegant air.

The suit perfectly accentuated Su Yue’s slender yet impossibly curvy figure. One could only imagine how many heads she would turn when she went out dressed like this.

Su Yue usually didn’t wear makeup to work, because even without it, her natural beauty could put many girls who used cosmetics to shame.

She had only put on light makeup and worn a suit today because a superintendent was visiting the school. She would have to escort them, and out of a desire to make a good impression for the school, she felt she had to at least dress up a little.

After finishing breakfast and clearing the table, Su Yue picked up the cheap bag with the faulty zipper from the sofa and left for work.

......

It was early morning, and many people were already up and exercising in the residential complex.

Children were being escorted to school by their parents, while the elderly were using the various pieces of equipment in the outdoor fitness area.

As for the younger residents, those with free time were out for a morning jog, while the rest were walking briskly out of the complex to catch the bus for work.

"Morning, Teacher Su!" A few young men who had gone for an early morning jog together were just returning to the complex. When they saw Su Yue in her suit, their jaws dropped and their eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

"Morning!" Su Yue politely greeted the young men, who were breathless and clad in sportswear, then continued gracefully toward the complex gate.

The young joggers stared, dumbfounded, at her captivating figure as she walked away. They only reluctantly tore their eyes away once she had disappeared from view.

An older woman who had just finished her workout was about to head home. Seeing the group of young joggers staring dazedly after Su Yue, she smiled and offered some encouragement.

"I’m telling you, boys! If you’re all so interested in Teacher Su, you should go confess your feelings! With so many of you, one of you is bound to succeed."

"..." Hearing the older woman’s encouragement, the young joggers fell silent. Then, one by one, they shook their heads, making up various excuses.

They might have mustered the courage to confess to any other girl.

But when it came to Su Yue, they didn’t dare take that step. They were afraid that if she rejected them, things would be too awkward to even say hello in the future.

"Goodness, young people these days! So timid. Why, back in my day..." The older woman chuckled to herself as she watched the young men practically flee the scene.

......

Su Yue usually rode her little white electric scooter to the school where she worked. But because of the get-together yesterday, she had left it at the school and hadn’t ridden it home.

After leaving Happiness Garden District, she didn’t go to the bus stop. Instead, she walked to the curb to hail a taxi to the school.

In the early morning, the streets were bustling with traffic. Su Yue stood quietly under a roadside tree, waiting for an empty taxi.

She wasn’t in a hurry since she had plenty of time. Suddenly, Su Yue’s slender, willow-leaf brows furrowed. She raised her right hand and pressed it against her heart.

’This feels awful.’

"Huuuh..."

Her red lips parted slightly, her breaths growing short and rapid.

She lowered her head, looking at where her pale hand was pressed against her chest.

Just then, deep within Su Yue’s shining black eyes, a barely perceptible Spiritual Light flashed.

The free-roaming Spiritual Energy in the surrounding air grew agitated, and an invisible force began to spread outwards from her.

A few paces away, the healthy flowers and plants in the greenbelt began to bend, as if under the influence of the invisible force radiating from Su Yue.
