Chapter 72 An Unexpected Guest – It Really Wasn't at the Opening Party
"Hey, where are my blue slippers?"
Lu Yutang searched for a long time but couldn't find her usual pair of slippers.
In response to Lu Yutang's question, Xue Youyou, as usual, feigned ignorance and acted cute, saying, "Blue slippers? I've never seen them before~"
Seeing this, Lu Yutang didn't dwell on it. She casually changed into a new pair of slippers, and then, under Xue Youyou's watchful gaze, walked straight to the bedside, turned around, and with a smooth backflip, "thud," lay down on the bed.
Then Lu Yutang naturally patted the empty seat next to her, signaling Xue Youyou to lie down as well.
Xue Youyou was dumbfounded. She thought to herself: Didn't we say we had something to talk about? How come we're talking about the bed as soon as we walk in? What's going on here?
Does that mean everyone in Lanzhi City chats in bed?
After glancing at the empty seat next to her and seeing Lu Yutang's urging gaze, Xue Youyou, after a brief internal struggle, finally decided to follow local customs and sat down in the empty seat by the bed.
However, Xue Youyou did not lie down. After all, she felt that she and Lu Yutang were not that close yet, and were just ordinary teammates at the moment. It was better to maintain a sense of boundaries.
However, the next second, Xue Youyou, who was trying to maintain her last sense of boundaries, was pulled down onto the bed by Lu Yutang.
Their long hair intertwined, and they were so close that Xue Youyou could clearly smell Lu Yutang's body fragrance.
Turning her head, Xue Youyou met Lu Yutang's gaze. She immediately looked away at the ceiling, gave a dry laugh, and said, "What a novel way to chat..."
"Giggle~"
Xue Youyou's unintentional display of shyness amused the cheerful Lu Yutang, who teased, "I didn't expect Youyou to have such a conservative side. I thought you were a bold guy when I saw you kiss Lin Feiyan first."
"Hehe..." In response to Lu Yutang's evaluation, Xue Youyou could only laugh awkwardly twice.
Then, Lu Yutang got straight to the point: "Youyou, your Guanghan Slash is a divine beast, right?"
"Although Meng Yanqing and the others don't know, I've seen it in my family's heirloom books. It's a Divine Beast Sequence 13, a Moonlight-type Imperial Divine Beast. Wang Shu Cai's perfect form is Guang Han Zhan, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou's body trembled violently.
It wasn't that she was frightened, but rather that the girl under the bed exerted force, causing the bed to shake.
Xue Youyou herself didn't care at all that Lu Yutang could recognize Guanghan Zhan; in fact, she was even a little excited.
Finally, someone recognized me!
These days, possessing a divine beast remains unknown, like wearing fine clothes in the dark.
If Xue Youyou were to directly tell others "I have a divine beast," firstly, it would be unnecessary, and secondly, it would lower her prestige.
It was discovered by passersby unintentionally.
Just right, just right~
This contracted divine beast is just for showing off!
After pretending to think for a few seconds, Xue Youyou reluctantly admitted, feigning hesitation, "That's right, I didn't expect you, Yutang, to have such extraordinary insight."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bed suddenly shook violently again.
"Hehe, you flatter me. I only know a little about the legendary pets. How can I compare to Youyou, who knows almost everything?"
Xue Youyou's quick admission greatly increased Lu Yutang's goodwill towards her. She patted her large chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone else about this. I'll keep it as a secret between us."
"Uh... that's not necessary."
"What?"
"It's nothing, I meant thank you."
In a short time, Xue Youyou also developed a lot of goodwill towards the straightforward and intelligent girl beside her.
Although she thought to herself that it wouldn't hurt to talk to a few more people in private.
If you don't say anything and I don't mention it, how can she keep up her act?
Then, Lu Yutang took Xue Youyou's hand, turned her head, and asked eagerly, "Actually, I came here tonight to ask you how you made a contract with the divine beast. Can you tell me about it, Youyou?"
Her greatest dream in this life is to form a contract with a legendary pet beast, so she has long wanted to secretly seek advice from Xue Youyou, but she has never had a good opportunity until tonight.
"There's nothing wrong with saying that."
Xue Youyou touched her nose, gathered her thoughts, and began to speak: "It all started with my first visit to the pet shop..."
Lu Yutang listened very attentively, just like a devout believer listening to a sermon by a deity.
I listened attentively to Xue Youyou's entire process, from winning a bet with Meng Yanqing and getting a Moonstone for free, to the Moonstone evolving into the Gui Po Branch, and finally absorbing the energy essence of the divine beast Taiyin and awakening her divine status.
Aside from some details that were inconvenient to mention, Xue Youyou basically told Lu Yutang about all the key moments of her contract with the divine beast.
Throughout Xue Youyou's narration, the bed frame kept shaking.
It was so uncomfortable for both of them.
Lu Yutang finally couldn't help but mutter a complaint: "Why is the airship shaking so much tonight?"
Xue Youyou said in a serious tone, "The airship may have encountered strong air currents."
Lu Yutang slammed her hand on the bed frame, trying to reduce the vibration by offsetting the force, and asked, "Can you tell me exactly what the Divine Beast Trial is like?"
"certainly."
Just as Xue Youyou was about to continue speaking—
"Knock knock!"
A knock came at the door.
Xue Youyou's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
Tonight is truly bizarre; which sister is staying up all night again?
It is said that it is a second time.
Lu Yutang looked at Xue Youyou with a questioning gaze.
After receiving the look, Xue Youyou shook her head skillfully.
Then--
Under Xue Youyou's surprised gaze, Yu Tang, whom she considered to be a straightforward and generous young lady, also quickly crawled under the bed, just like Meng Yanqing, and even took away her slippers in the same detail.
Immediately afterwards, he almost lost control of the bed frame and jumped up.
Xue Youyou: "..."
"Knock knock!"
Before Xueyou could ponder the scenery under the bed, the knocking sounded again.
"They're here!"
Xue called out softly, then walked over and opened the door, looking rather speechless.
Who could this be?
Su Wanrou, Cui Yelan, Lu Yuan...
After thinking about it, Xue Youyou felt that Lu Yuan was more likely than Su Wanrou and Cui Yelan.
However, when Xue Youyou opened the door, the person who came was someone she had never expected at all.
Standing outside the door was a tall girl wearing a school uniform and with long, light yellow hair.
"Senior Sister Lin?" Xue Youyou asked in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the person knocking on the door was Lin Yueyao, a spy from the "Moon Worship Cult".
Why is she contacting me at this time? Could it be that she has something shady to do?
Xue Youyou's heart immediately sounded an alarm.
Upon seeing Xue Youyou, Lin Yueyao forced a slightly awkward smile and greeted her, "Good evening, junior. Would you do me the honor of a chat?"
"I've already knocked on your door five times, but haven't received a response. I had no choice but to come at this time, hoping to try my luck. I apologize for any inconvenience caused."
"Excuse me, I just came out of the combat pod an hour ago. Please come in, senior." Xue Youyou apologized and made a gesture of invitation.
She wanted to see what Lin Yueyao wanted that made her so anxious to find her.
Logically speaking, one is a first-year student and the other is a third-year student; they shouldn't have much interaction.
"Hehe, I guessed so. Junior sister is not only exceptionally talented, but also hardworking. No wonder she defeated two Ten Heavenly Kings as a Beast Tamer." Lin Yueyao praised Xue Youyou as she followed Xue Youyou to the guest sofa next to the tea table and sat down.
However, Xue Youyou could clearly sense that Lin Yueyao's praise wasn't entirely sincere.
Xue Youyou sat down opposite Lin Yueyao, then gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said in a teasy tone, "I believe that you must have worked very hard to achieve the position of the top student in the academy in the past."
