Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2573: Anticipation, Can't Wait to Meet You!

“Su Chen, why aren’t you saying anything?” After a short while, Qu Qi looked at Su Chen and asked. After all, every other young talent present was scrambling to speak up and please her; only Su Chen stayed silent, without the slightest intention of trying to attract her attention. It was a bit strange, even a bit weird.

“It’s my first time out at sea. I’m not good at hunting Chaotic Sturgeon. I haven’t even seen one before,” Su Chen said with a smile.

As soon as he said that, he actually won the goodwill of many of the young talents present. They felt Su Chen was someone who knew his own limits. Yeah, what they feared most were those with low Strength and low Realm who still had ideas about Qu Qi and might become their competitors. A young man like Su Chen, who knew where he stood, kept a low profile, and spoke honestly, was pretty decent.

“Young Master Su, what are you going to the Chaos Race for this time?” Qu Qi asked. She felt Su Chen was a tiny bit strange, a kind of strangeness she couldn’t quite put into words.

“Well…” Su Chen deliberately made an embarrassed expression.

Then, everyone understood.

“Brother, don’t be embarrassed. Isn’t it just that you want to travel all this way to get a glimpse of the Chaotic Celestial Maiden?”

“We’re the same.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? Though it all depends on luck. The Chaotic Celestial Maiden isn’t someone you can see just because you want to.”

………

In the depths of Qu Qi’s eyes, a hint of contempt surfaced. She thought the reason Su Chen wasn’t trying to please her and had no interest in her was because his whole heart was set on the Chaotic Celestial Maiden. Truly laughable.

A Toad wanting to eat swan Flesh should at least know some limits.

A mere Four Directions Ultimate Realm Fifth Level nobody, actually having ideas about the Chaotic Celestial Maiden!!!

This joke was really hilarious.

“Young Master Su, your aspirations are lofty, I’ll give you that. But as everyone said, the Chaotic Celestial Maiden isn’t someone you can see just because you want to. Of course, it’s not like there’s no chance. The Chaotic Celestial Maiden is going to select a Maid, and when that happens, it’ll be an open selection. During the open selection, the Chaotic Celestial Maiden will be present, so everyone will have a chance to see her. But with crowds as far as the eye can see, those in the back definitely won’t be able to see clearly. As for those in the front…” Qu Qi deliberately kept them in suspense.

Sure enough, the ten-odd young men present all had slightly flushed faces.

They were excited.

Being at the front and able to clearly see the Chaotic Celestial Maiden—that kind of opportunity was rare.

Just one look at the Chaotic Celestial Maiden, and when they went back, they could brag about it for a lifetime.

“And those front-row spots aren’t so easy to get. To be frank, I intend to compete to become the Chaotic Celestial Maiden’s Maid. When the time comes, I’ll take part in the selection, and I can bring a few attendants… My attendants, as the family members of a contestant, can stand right at the very front,” Qu Qi said with a smile.

Qu Qi looked at Su Chen. “Young Master Su, if you can perform well in the upcoming sturgeon hunt, perhaps you can become one of my attendants.”

Qu Qi gave a smug little smile. Although Su Chen’s Strength was not great—pretty trashy, in fact—he alone wasn’t trying to please her, which made her feel quite unaccustomed.

She thought, now you should be fawning over me, right?

But to her surprise—

No.

Su Chen seemed not to understand what she was talking about.

Instead, all the other young talents were fired up, like they’d been injected with chicken blood.

They started making all sorts of promises.

Just then—

A Servant came to the door of the hall.

“Miss, the Chaotic Sturgeon shoals have arrived.”

“Let’s go, to the deck.” Qu Qi spoke, a bit of excitement in her voice.

Su Chen had originally planned to leave—mm, go back to his room and continue his martial arts cultivation.

But he did feel a tiny bit curious and interested in the Chaotic Sturgeon, if only because they carried the word “Chaos.”

So in the end, he decided to follow Qu Qi and the others up to the deck for a look.

Soon.

The group arrived on the deck.

The ship was big, so naturally the deck was big as well.

Once on deck, the sea wind howled. The wind was rather strong, heavy with a fishy tang—the smell of the ocean.

In every direction, there was no end in sight.

The deep sea was an inky Blue, waves surging and crashing, the sound quite loud.

Qu Qi and the others all stood at the very front of the deck.

Their eyes were fixed on the distance.

There, schools upon schools of fish could be seen swimming.

Each school probably had over ten thousand fish, a huge swath of them.

Su Chen looked as well.

So those were Chaotic Sturgeon?

They weren’t very big; each one was about a foot long.

But they swam very fast, practically like phantoms, flashing by in an instant.

Also, the color of the skin on their bodies was an inky Blue. When they swam, it was as if they blended right into the seawater.

Furthermore, Su Chen noticed that the sturgeon had razor-like fins all over their bodies. They looked like they could definitely attack.

“Where there are sturgeon, there will be Chaos Devil Fish,” Qu Qi said. “These two kinds of fish are companion species.”

The Chaos Devil Fish were the biggest reason human Martial Cultivators didn’t dare to casually hunt Chaotic Sturgeon.

The Chaos Devil Fish regarded the Chaotic Sturgeon as their own prey.

If someone touched their prey—

You could imagine the consequences.

And the Strength of the Chaos Devil Fish was anything but weak, especially in the sea.

Moreover, the Chaos Devil Fish were extremely ferocious, the kind that fought like they didn’t want to live.

“Everyone, you may begin. But be careful—stay alive,” Qu Qi said to the dozen-odd young talents who were already itching to move.

“Rest assured, Miss Qi!” The dozen-odd young talents nodded heavily and, in the next instant, almost simultaneously turned into streaks of light, shooting off the ship and rushing toward the sturgeon shoals.

Only Su Chen and Qu Qi remained.

“Young Master Su, you’re not willing to contribute a bit of your Strength?” Qu Qi looked at Su Chen and smiled.

“My Strength is shallow. I’d rather not throw my life away,” Su Chen replied with those eight words.

“Seems Young Master Su’s feelings for the Chaotic Celestial Maiden aren’t deep enough. Otherwise, if your passion were sufficient, just to fight for a good spot to see the Chaotic Celestial Maiden with your own eyes, you should be willing to risk your life.”

“Maybe,” Su Chen also smiled, then turned and left.

Qu Qi stared at Su Chen’s back and couldn’t help but sneer. “Quite the slippery one. But really too full of himself. Without this young lady’s help, he still wants to see the Chaotic Celestial Maiden? What a joke. I gave you a chance and you didn’t cherish it. If you’d really risked your life hunting Chaotic Sturgeon for me, maybe this young lady would have been moved and actually started to look at you differently. Maybe I really would’ve helped you. After all, this young lady is going to become the Chaotic Celestial Maiden’s Maid.”

Then, a faint blush and a hint of expectation appeared on Qu Qi’s face.

“Once I become the Chaotic Celestial Maiden’s Maid, I’ll have to marry the man she likes in her heart, right? After all, a Maid has to be part of the young lady’s dowry.” Qu Qi muttered to herself, a watery shyness glimmering in her beautiful eyes. Just how outstanding must a man be to make even the Chaotic Celestial Maiden pine for him and never forget him? Just how shocking? She really wanted to see him soon…
