Chapter 480 The small bag turned out to be dragon horns

The giant tortoise, which had shrunk and returned to the car where Qiao Qiao was going to sit, sensed something and poked its head out from under the seat, looking in surprise in the direction of Grandpa Shen.

Xiang Xianglan did not return to Hongfeng Town with the Qiao family. Her vacation was over, and she went directly back to school from Baoyi City Railway Station.

Before leaving, they said they would come back to visit them during the winter break.

After returning to Hongfeng Town, everything returned to normal.

The only thing that wasn't on the right track was probably the two bumps on Qiao Qiao's forehead.

The two bumps on her forehead showed no signs of disappearing; in fact, they seemed to be growing outwards.

At this point, the Qiao family began to wonder if these were two boils.

However, Qiao Qiao's reaction didn't seem to match, because the process of a boil growing is painful and itchy. As it grows, it not only turns into a yellowish-white pustule, but the pain also intensifies.

The bump on Qiao Qiao's forehead was clearly not a boil, and it no longer hurt or itched.

It was still white, with a faint green tinge, not the green of leaves, but a pinkish-green, as if it had fluorescent powder inside, shimmering and glowing.

Once again, the whole family gathered together to discuss what this bag actually was.

Qiao Qiao overheard the giant tortoise's guess: "Master, this might be a dragon horn."

"???" Qiao Qiao.

Dragon horns?

[That's likely. When you went to Nan Zong Mountain before, didn't you already feel a significant increase in your cultivation? Coupled with the reduction in your height, your transformation might have occurred several months, or even half a year, earlier.]

[When the dragon horns fully emerge, it will be time to trigger heavenly lightning. If you successfully overcome the heavenly lightning, you will complete the final step of your transformation.]

"Heavenly lightning? I'm going to get struck by lightning?" Qiao Qiao was shocked.

[Of course, there are two tribulations for advancing to the Golden Core stage.]

"What if I can't get through this? I won't be struck dead, will I?" What will happen to her father and grandmother if she dies!

[You won't fail to overcome it. Your previous cultivation level was already... cough cough. Anyway, Master, don't be afraid. You still have Little Huanhuan. Little Huanhuan can help you withstand half of the tribulation lightning.]

"Will I die if I can't get through this?"

No, it's just that my cultivation has stagnated.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao patted her heart and breathed a sigh of relief. She was truly afraid that if she couldn't overcome the ordeal, she would die, which would be too terrible.

To be honest, Qiao Qiao didn't dare to die.

She was afraid that if she died, her two fathers and grandmother would also be left without a way to survive.

Relieved, Qiao Qiao told the rest of her family about her conversation with the giant tortoise.

Both fathers and Yan Liti were filled with surprise upon hearing this.

Yan Liti, in particular, touched the two small bumps, each the size of a peanut, with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

"This really is dragon horn! So, all that medicated oil we applied before, will it have any effect?"

They genuinely thought it was a mosquito bite, and initially applied it three times a day. Later, they would only apply the ointment whenever they remembered.

Looking back now, I inexplicably feel that the dragon horns seem to have suffered a lot of injustice.

Yan Liti was genuinely worried. She looked at the two small bumps with concern: "Won't they be smeared so much that they won't grow back up? They haven't grown at all in the last two days."

Before, I desperately wanted it to go down immediately; now I hope it will swell up again right away!

"Probably not." Qiao Qiao wasn't sure either, but what she was concerned about wasn't that, but rather that she might have to molt into an egg prematurely.

She was thinking to herself that she should pick a day to cleanse and rejuvenate her two fathers as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she feared that one day she might suddenly turn into an egg, and then it would be too late.

On the third day after the family returned to Hongfeng Town, Fu Yu prepared to start school.

In fact, Fu Yu's intelligence is not well-suited to the learning pace of ordinary schools. He is more suited to private tutoring, as his grandfather had planned for him.

At worst, he could go back to Haishi and attend one of those special classes for gifted children like him.

But Fu Yu was unwilling to leave Hongfeng Town and the Qiao family, so he could only attend an ordinary middle school with the Qiao family's sons.

However, given his intelligence, going to school in the past was just a formality for him.

He mostly learned on his own by referring to the textbooks.

He just wanted to take the college entrance examination from a middle school in Hongfeng Town, which is why he wanted to attend a regular middle school.

If he wants to attend a school in Hongfeng Town, his household registration also needs to be transferred to this area.

Speaking of the matter of transferring household registration, Qiao Qiao's household registration should have been transferred out long ago when she and Yan Liti recognized each other, and her surname should have been changed as well.

However, he looked down on Old Master Shen and even more so on the surname Shen.

Qiao Qiao's household registration has always been on the page with Qiao Changdong.

If it weren't for the fear of being too outrageous, Yan Liti would have even considered transferring Shen Qingyan's household registration to the Qiao family's household registration book.

Her divorce case with Old Master Shen hasn't been decided yet, and her household registration is still under the Shen family's registration. Otherwise, she could open a separate account and transfer Shen Qingyan there.

Because Fu Yu was too young, he had to take an entrance exam to enter Hongfeng Town Middle School. He had already consulted with Qiao Kun and others about the textbooks beforehand, so he entered the school with perfect scores in all subjects.

However, he did not want to live on campus and instead commuted to school every morning and evening. In addition, he was so outstanding that the school exempted him from morning and evening self-study sessions.

This made Qiao Qiao extremely envious.

She knew that Fu Yu hadn't suffered the hardships of his previous life, so he would probably get into university earlier and become a great scientist sooner.

As for Qiao Kun, Qiao Xu, and Pei Yuanfan.

The three of them felt utterly hopeless as they watched Fu Yu, who was sitting in the front row because of her height.

Can anyone tell them why this kid, who is five years younger than them, had to choose to be in the same class as them out of the three classes in the whole grade?

The three boys only found out about Fu Yu's upcoming junior high school enrollment after May Day.

At first, Qiao Kun and Qiao Xu didn't think much of Fu Yu borrowing their textbooks, and they knew that the kid was smart, but they never expected that he would be smart enough to jump directly into their class.

But Fu Yu comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, brothers, we won't be in the same class for long."

"What do you mean?" Pei Yuanfan asked.

"I will spend a year learning junior high school material, and by this time next year, I will skip directly to the third year of junior high school to prepare for the high school entrance exam. I won't bother you for too long."

Then spend another year learning high school material, and at the latest, within two years, get into university.

He had already gleaned information about his past life's trajectory from Qiao Qiao's words.

Now that he no longer had the time wasted due to being trafficked in his previous life, he naturally wanted to get into university earlier so that Qiao Qiao would admire him even more!
