I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 231 I'm just too bad

Ten minutes ago, in the Yukiin lounge.

Lei Ying embraced the petite Manluo and gently placed her on her lap.

The two nestled together on the soft sofa, the screen in front of them broadcasting the game's ending before the finals. The noisy atmosphere was kept out by the screen, making the room feel exceptionally peaceful and harmonious.

The other members of the Ghost Academy kept their eyes down and retreated to a distance, quietly making room for Lei Ying and Man Luo to be alone.

"That's quite a novel experience."

While casually stroking Manluo's hair, Lei Ying said with a hint of self-deprecation, "I never thought that one day, the two of us would be sitting side by side like this, quietly waiting to watch others play in the finals."

"Those two are indeed very strong."

Manlu responded softly.

She paused, then added somewhat reluctantly, her voice low but exceptionally earnest: "Lei Ying, you're amazing too."

Since the end of the match, Manluo's emotions have completely calmed down, and she has returned to her usual dignified and ladylike demeanor.

Being cared for by Lei Ying at this moment, his heart, wounded by defeat, seemed to be soothed and healed little by little by some kind of warmth.

Although she was unwilling, she had indeed accepted the fact that she had been defeated.

Manluo gently nuzzled against Lei Ying's chest, then looked up, her eyes filled with undisguised curiosity: "Lei Ying, what was the name of the move you used to defeat me in the end?"

Seeing her earnest expression that said, "I really want to know," Lei Ying's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile, and a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes: "Of course I can tell you. But in exchange, you have to promise to answer one question for me."

"Yes," Manluo replied without hesitation.

Lei Ying couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you going to ask me what I want to ask first?"

Manluo turned her head, stared intently into Lei Ying's eyes, and said, her tone slightly more forceful, enunciating each word clearly: "Ask as many questions as you want, ask whatever you want, it's fine."

"Because Manro is very happy now."

"hehe……"

Lei Ying could hear the almost unreserved trust and intimacy hidden in those words, but she didn't respond directly.

She paused for a moment, then spoke again, her tone tinged with undisguised pride: "Then let me tell you, lucky little loser. Listen carefully, the full name of this skill is—Divine Blessing: Princess Hunting!"

"God-blessing, princess-hunting."

Manlu repeated the words slowly and deliberately, savoring their weighty significance.

A moment later, she looked up, her tone tinged with genuine envy: "What a wonderful name."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying immediately revealed a smug look, raised her hand to scratch the tip of her nose, and said with a smile, "Right, right? I think it's really great too. I chose this name myself."

"You chose it yourself?"

Manlu blinked, somewhat puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Regarding the origin of skill names, there are only two relatively reliable explanations in the Beast Taming world.

One theory suggests that skill names evolved gradually over a long period of time and were eventually established.

Another theory suggests that the names of these skills were decided by the gods as early as the earliest era.

Regardless of which explanation is true, the only certainty is that no Beastmaster can change the name of an existing skill. Once a pet learns a skill, the skill name displayed on the panel is fixed, unmodifiable, and cannot be altered.

Therefore, Manluo was genuinely surprised when Lei Ying told her that she had chosen the skill name herself.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, the name of Lei Ying's skill was indeed different from all the skill names she had ever heard before.

To be fair, it's a name that only the most delusional person would come up with.

"Under normal circumstances, I don't accept follow-up questions from others."

Lei Ying gave a soft hum, her tone brimming with arrogance: "However, since it's Manluo, I'll grant you permission to ask further questions."

This can be considered a response to Manluo's previous statement, "No matter how much, no matter what you ask, it's fine."

Lei Ying then told Manluo everything about the fifth skill.

Aside from what Xue Youyou told everyone at Lanzhiyuan, Lei Ying, as a firsthand witness, naturally recounted the details more vividly, describing each key point perfectly.

After hearing this, Manluo was dumbfounded, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "So, you traveled to dozens of states away, encountered an ancient thunder beast that was about to die of old age, went up and delivered the final blow, absorbed its pet beast core, then evolved into its ultimate form, and even learned the fifth skill in a daze?"

Lei Ying nodded smugly: "That's about right."

Manlu was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she slowly raised her hand, clapped her hands, and said sincerely, "Lei Ying is really amazing. I had no idea what the world outside Yue Lanzhou was like."

Hearing Manluo praise her so highly, Lei Ying felt a little flattered and, unusually, became somewhat humble. She waved her hand and said, "It's really nothing. The more you see, the more you naturally understand."

"Besides, I'm only familiar with this planet. In fact, I don't really know what the world outside our planet is like."

She sighed, as if with some regret: "Every time I try to fly out and take a look, I'm stopped by a mysterious barrier. No matter how I attack, I can't shake that air wall. Even now, after advancing to the ultimate level, I've tried several more times, but I still can't break through it."

Manluo: "..."

She suddenly realized that her and Lei Ying's thought processes were probably not on the same line at all.

Her ambition was to become the ultimate Beast Tamer, and in the future, take over Manzhu's mantle and become the Marquis of Jiuyou, revered by the people of Yuelanzhou.

Lei Ying, on the other hand, spends every day thinking about how to fly off this planet.

In an instant, she deeply felt the huge gap in their perspectives.

Seeing Manluo's devastated expression, Lei Ying instinctively covered her mouth and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, did I say something wrong?"

The light in Manluo's eyes dimmed, and she leaned weakly against Lei Ying. In a rare moment of mental calm, she replied with a rather unladylike statement: "No, it's just that Manluo is too incompetent."
