Chapter 32 The Half-Blood Beast Tamer
Chapter 32 The Half-Blood Beast Tamer
Two minutes ago.
As soon as Xue Youyou came out of the training room and took the elevator down to the first floor, she was surrounded by excited students.
"Wow, this is a once-in-a-century genius from our Blue Lotus Academy!"
"Seeing it with my own eyes, it's truly extraordinary. Look at her unique icy eyes; they're practically identical to the lightning-fast eyes of Princess Lightning of the Ten Heavenly Kings!"
"Could you talk about what it felt like to defeat the Flame Princess of the Burning Sky?"
"Waaaaah, Lady Youyou, can I get your autograph?!"
"Lord Yuyu, can we take a picture together making a heart shape with our hands?"
"..."
scare!
Suddenly surrounded by a group of people in reality, Xue Youyou's body experienced stress-induced stiffness.
What's going on?
How come there's suddenly such a large group of enthusiastic fans?
It was just a 5v5 ranked match I played with Meng Yanqing and the others on their live stream, is it really that big of a deal?
This is the first time Xue Youyou has been caught by fans in real life, regardless of her past or present life.
What should we do now?
Just as Xue Youyou was racking her brains for a solution, a familiar, loud voice rang out behind her, carrying a hint of a puppy guarding its food: "This is the battle arena, not a place for you to gather and watch!"
"Get out of the way! I need to talk to Xue Youyou. Don't obstruct official business!"
Upon hearing the voice, everyone glared angrily at Xue Youyou's back, wanting to see who was so arrogant. However, when they saw that the speaker was Meng Yanqing, the second-ranked student in the academy, they immediately cowered and slunk away under Meng Yanqing's "fierce" gaze.
In the blink of an eye, the once crowded lobby of the battle building became empty, leaving only Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing.
Xue Youyou tilted her head and asked, "What is it...?"
Before she could finish speaking, a tremendous force came from Xue Youyou's wrist, and Meng Yanqing dragged her out of the battle building without a word, pulling her all the way to a secluded spot in the garden before stopping.
At this moment, there was no one around, only Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing were alone.
Seeing Meng Yanqing's extremely solemn expression, Xue Youyou's mind raced, and she immediately showed an understanding expression: "Is there something important that you can only tell me and not the other three of them?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem. I, Xue Youyou, have always been tight-lipped. Heaven, earth, you, and I know, but I will never let a third person know."
Xue Youyou gave what she thought was a very warm smile: "Besides, it's too heavy to keep everything bottled up by yourself."
"Then shall I tell you?"
"Speak."
Having received Xue Youyou's promise, Meng Yanqing finally asked the question that had been on her mind since the end of the battle: "If you didn't use any tricks, could you have withstood Lin Feiyan's last shot?"
She really wanted to know the answer to this question, as it concerned who was more powerful between her and Xue Youyou. She couldn't wait to find out; she was feeling incredibly frustrated.
However, Xue Youyou was a little disappointed after hearing Meng Yanqing's question.
She was wondering what big news it was, but it turned out it was just about such a small matter that she had come all the way over to ask her privately.
But why is Meng Yanqing so concerned...?
After a few seconds of thought, Xue Youyou seemed to have grasped the key point, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
Could it be that she has become too powerful and threatened the emperor?
Thinking of this, Xue Youyou immediately decided to tell a white lie, blinking as she replied, "That's absolutely impossible to catch."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Youyou could sense that Meng Yanqing had clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems she guessed correctly.
Meng Yanqing coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Although our current strength is not as good as Lin Feiyan's, I believe that as long as we undergo a period of special training, both my Thousand Leaf Immortal Lotus and your Snow Maiden will definitely be able to improve their strength before the start of the league."
Xue Youyou nodded obediently: "Mm."
Immediately afterwards, Meng Yanqing solemnly reminded her, "Also, Youyou, your performance today was outstanding. Lin Yueyao and the others might invite you to join their team later. Remember to refuse."
Xue Youyou patted her small chest, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more: "Don't worry, you said you would give me an orange skill card, and I'm a person of my word."
"By the way, when are you planning to give me the skill cards?"
After hearing Xue Youyou's promise, Meng Yanqing was moved, but her expression was somewhat embarrassed.
She knew that writing the orange skill card on Xue Youyou's white silk was a spur-of-the-moment decision, made with the conviction that this was the only way to keep Xue Youyou.
After hesitating for a while, Meng Yanqing finally decided to confront Xue Youyou, subtly probing, "Youyou, do you absolutely need the orange skill card?"
"..."
A terrifying silence fell over the air.
Then, Xue Youyou gave Meng Yanqing a "kind" smile: "Don't you have one?"
"I hate deception the most."
Those familiar with Xue Youyou know that she always prioritizes Mane over Tianwang; if Mane is absent, she turns around and leaves.
Xue Youyou's sudden change of expression startled Meng Yanqing, who quickly said, "How...how could this be? Of course, my family has orange skill cards, it's just a bit...difficult."
Xue Youyou straightened her body, glancing disdainfully at Meng Yanqing. Her icy eyes, patterned like snowflakes, swept across her face, as if trying to see through her soul. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she asked, "What's the difficulty?"
"The situation is a bit complicated..."
Meng Yanqing's expression was indescribable. After struggling internally for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, if it's convenient for you now, come with me."
"Of course, no problem." Xue Youyou nodded quickly.
She had planned to take a short break today, and there wasn't much going on.
Besides, even if something happens, what could be more important than the orange skill card she's been longing for?
Led by Meng Yanqing, Xue Youyou followed her all the way to the familiar Yuelan Pet Store.
Following Meng Yanqing through the door, Xue Youyou returned to this place that held so many beautiful memories for her, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
The four million I made from Meng Yanqing last time has been spent in the blink of an eye.
It has to be said that raising pets is really expensive; you really can't afford to raise even one if you don't have the money.
Just as Xue Youyou was plotting how to rip off Meng Yanqing again, Meng Yanqing suddenly shouted, "Grandma, I'm back!"
grandmother?
Where are the people?
Xue Youyou was taken aback; she hadn't seen a third person when she came in.
Following Meng Yanqing's gaze, Xue Youyou finally had no choice but to focus her attention on the mysterious "Meng Yanqing's grandmother" on the Qingfeng Lotus plant in the jade flowerpot on the counter.
"..."
Could it be that—
Xue Youyou suddenly had a bold guess in her mind.
She had heard a rumor.
When a beast tamer and a pet mate, they produce hybrid offspring. The beast taming talent of these human-pet hybrids will far surpass that of ordinary beast tamers.
However, she had only heard about these things briefly in her previous life's "Contract of Ten Thousand Beasts".
Only by receiving extremely rare missions will you encounter storylines related to hybrid beast tamers.
As for players marrying their pets, that's absolutely forbidden!
This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.
This powerful ability to overcome reproductive barriers is possessed only by pets that have evolved to the Ultimate level or higher.
In other words, Meng Yanqing's grandmother is the ultimate beast!
Thinking of this, Xue Youyou was immediately filled with awe and paid tribute to the great pioneer of pet beasts before her.
"Hello, I am Xue Youyou, and I am now Meng Yanqing's teammate."
"..."
However, several seconds passed without a response.
Xue Youyou maintained her clasped hands and bowing posture.
"Your grandma isn't very talkative, is she?" Xue Youyou whispered to Meng Yanqing.
To everyone's surprise, Meng Yanqing rolled her eyes and replied speechlessly, "I was just calling out to see if Grandma was home."
Xue Youyou: "..."
An awkward atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
A few seconds later, Xue Youyou, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Then why are you staring at this Azure Lotus for so long?"
Her masterful observation skills told her that Meng Yanqing's gaze towards the pot of Qingfeng Lotus was definitely not normal, and the emotions it contained were quite extraordinary.
Therefore, it wasn't just a simple misjudgment; Meng Yanqing must have been hiding something from him.
Seeing Xue Youyou's inquisitive look, Meng Yanqing was speechless: "Am I really going to tell you that this Azure Lotus grew out of my mother's urn?"
