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

Chapter 235 The rebuttal is not to a particular person, but to a spirit.

Although Xue Youyou had clearly asked Meng Yanqing and the other three to leave and had given a convincing reason, the four still did not take any action.

The countdown ended, but they stood motionless as if rooted to the spot, as if everything she had just said had nothing to do with them.

Seeing that they were still standing there blankly, Xue Youyou frowned slightly, wondering if she hadn't explained herself clearly enough. So she spoke again to emphasize, her tone even more serious than before.

"If Mutsuki and I were to go to war, the aftershocks of the battle would be enough to annihilate everything within a radius of ten thousand miles, leaving no living beings alive. If you dare to remain here, you will be reduced to ashes in an instant."

She paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over the four like a blade, her voice carrying an undisguised chill: "If you don't leave soon, I'll have to wonder if you've lost your minds. There's a time and place for playing the hero, not now."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanrou, Cui Yelan, and Lu Yutang finally realized the seriousness of the problem and dared not pretend to be indifferent anymore.

Staying here will really mean death.

This thought was like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, finally calming their previously feverish minds down a bit.

Su Wanrou immediately said, "Then good luck, Youyou! We'll retreat first!"

Cui Yelan and Lu Yutang quickly chimed in, saying they understood.

Only Meng Yanqing remained steadfast. She didn't back down an inch, but instead leaned forward to meet Xue Youyou's gaze: "Why don't you let the three of them go first, and I'll stay and help you? After all, I'm an Ultimate Master—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xue Youyou's face suddenly darkened, and she snapped, "Don't say anything that makes me angry again!"

This was the first time Meng Yanqing had ever seen Xue Youyou truly angry. Her heart skipped a beat, and she was startled. Her shoulders involuntarily shrank back, and all the words that were about to come out were swallowed back.

"But...but..."

Meng Yanqing murmured, as if she wanted to say something more, but her voice was barely audible, each word trembling with resentment. It wasn't that she didn't understand Xue Youyou's intentions, but it was precisely because she understood that she felt she couldn't just leave like that.

But she was quickly and rudely interrupted by Xue Youyou.

"No buts!"

Xue Youyou's voice rose, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying an undeniable resolve. Her finger pointed into the distance, her fingertips even trembling slightly.

"Now, immediately, get out of my sight!"

Meng Yanqing looked at Xue Youyou, whose eyebrows were raised in anger, opened her mouth, but ultimately lowered her head.

Just then, Lu Yutang suddenly interjected, asking, "Is a fight absolutely necessary?"

All eyes turned to her. Meeting those gazes, Lu Yutang took a deep breath and mustered the courage to reveal her thoughts.

"Since it was a mistake by the Alliance staff, why don't we report it first, or discuss with Yueyaoin and the others... whether we can temporarily cease hostilities?"

Lu Yutang really wanted to give herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

The moment the thought flashed through her mind, she felt that this was the most natural way to handle it.

If something goes wrong, pause; if there's a problem, report it. Isn't that basic common sense?

She felt that Xue Youyou's mind was filled with nothing but fighting and killing, which led them astray and caused them to fall into a mindset that "the only solution is to fight."

Shouldn't the first thing a normal person would think of is to request a suspension of the match and provide timely feedback on the problem?

After Lu Yutang finished speaking, the other three people's eyes lit up.

Yeah, why didn't they think of that?

Meng Yanqing immediately chimed in, "That's right, Yutang, you're so smart! We can just talk to the referee first, and that'll solve the problem, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yanqing immediately took out the red button used to pause the game and call the referee, and pressed it hard.

However, there was no response whatsoever.

Meng Yanqing refused to believe it and pressed it again.

no respond.

She pressed the button repeatedly with her thumb, each press more rapid than the last, the button emitting a faint mechanical clicking sound that seemed particularly jarring in the silence.

There was still no response.

Lu Yutang and the other two reacted quickly, taking out their respective buttons and pressing them one after another.

Without exception, all of them disappeared without a trace, and there was no response.

Xue Youyou, watching from the side, was almost speechless.

She crossed her arms, a helpless smile playing on her lips: "I told you guys, this is real teleportation, not a projection. I reckon we're almost completely cut off from the outside world now."

"and……"

Xue Youyou wanted to continue by saying that the referee had probably already been bribed, but after thinking about it for a moment, she ultimately decided not to say it.

Upon seeing this, the four couldn't help but exchange glances.

Lu Yutang reacted the fastest, immediately turning on the communication function on her bracelet, only to find with some despair that there was indeed no network signal.

"Really... there's no signal."

Su Wanrou was stunned after hearing this: "How could this be..."

After a moment, Lu Yutang tentatively suggested, "Well... since we can't contact the outside world, how about we go and discuss a ceasefire with Yueyaoyuan and the others? What do you think?"

No matter what, this kind of battle that could actually kill people was far too advanced for her, who was still just a student.

If any of the five of them were to die here today, it would be something that Lu Yutang could never accept.

Everyone else felt the same way she did.

Meng Yanqing quickly echoed, "That's right, Youyou, I think Yutang makes a very good point."

Xue Youyou felt that her remaining patience was about to be exhausted.

However, Lu Yutang and the others were unaware of the inside story, and from their perspective, the suggestion itself was not problematic.

Xue Youyou suppressed her urge to have a fierce battle with Mutsuki immediately and coaxed in a gentle voice, "That's why I let you leave first. I'll discuss it with the people from Yueyaoyuan when I see them."

"To prevent the worst-case scenario from happening, would you please move further away?"

When she said the last few words, Xue Youyou felt that she was almost exhausted.

Meng Yanqing's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help but complain, "Why do I feel that the possibility of a peaceful resolution is very slim when you say that, Youyou?"

The other three nodded in agreement.

Any rational person would agree to a ceasefire, but the way Xue Youyou said it made it sound like Yueyaoyuan would never agree to it.

Lu Yutang chimed in, "Could it be that things turned out this way because Youyou really wanted to hit him?"

Su Wanrou added, "If only the captain goes to negotiate with the other side, I feel that a fight will inevitably break out in the end."

Meng Yanqing then added, "So, let me go with Youyou."

Xue Youyou: "..."
