Chapter 75 The Silver Dragon Shadow Under the Moonlight
"Huh? Did I say I wanted to join?" Xue Youyou looked at Lin Yueyao with an innocent expression.
At this moment, Lin Yueyao's expression was quite a sight to behold, a mixture of shock, shame, and anger...
She never dreamed that Xue Youyou would do something so disgraceful, letting her double-cross her so easily.
This is something a top student from Lanzhi Academy, a rising star in the league, and a future Ten Heavenly Kings player could do!?
Now that things have come to this, it's too late for regrets. Lin Yueyao only regrets that she didn't investigate Xue Youyou's character more thoroughly beforehand, and instead foolishly gave herself away.
Lin Yueyao, on the verge of tears, said, "You are the top student of Lanzhi Academy, a future one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the League! How can you break your promise?"
"How can you say I broke my promise when I didn't even agree to it?" Xue Youyou didn't mock her; instead, she comforted her gently like a caring older sister.
She sensed that this "spy senior" wasn't very bright. If even a naive and innocent girl like her was acting as a persuader, it seemed the Moon Worship Cult was truly out of people to use.
I really want to remind her to practice more and accumulate more work experience.
However, on the other hand, this kind of clear-headed stupidity seems more innate than a lack of acquired experience.
Thinking of this, Xue Youyou looked at Lin Yueyao with a touch of heartache. Unfortunately, the only thing she could do to help Lin Yueyao now was to help her learn a lesson from this failure.
Lin Yueyao saw Xue Youyou's affected manner as a complete humiliation.
Lin Yueyao's eyes widened: "You! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing that Lin Yueyao wanted to summon her pet beast in the room, Xue Youyou didn't even bother to get up. Leaning back on the sofa, she said unhurriedly, "What, sister, are you sure you want to fight the third-ranked person in the world?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueyao felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and instantly calmed down considerably.
Looking at the snowflakes that had somehow settled on Xue Youyou's head, Lin Yueyao kept telling herself to be patient, she had to be patient.
After taking several deep breaths, Lin Yueyao finally calmed down a bit, feeling a little better after being tricked.
After calming down, Lin Yueyao invoked the Moon Worship Cult, threatening, "You're courting death! The Moon Worship Cult will absolutely not tolerate your foolish behavior. You have no idea how terrifying the Moon Worship Cult is!"
Xue Youyou didn't take Lin Yueyao's childish threat to heart at all, and replied with a pitying tone, "No need for you to worry, sister. I am a professionally trained beast tamer. No matter how scary it is, I will not be afraid."
Lin Yueyao was speechless.
Seeing that Xue Youyou remained unmoved by reason and that intimidation had failed, Lin Yueyao could only turn away angrily. Just before slamming the door, she muttered, "You'd better remember the oath you swore: tonight's conversation is between you and me, and you're not allowed to tell a third person!"
Although oaths taken in the name of Beast Tamers are protected by the power of rules, and violating them will result in punishment from the Great Path of Beast Taming, normally there is no need to worry about Beast Tamers breaking their oaths.
But Xue Youyou seemed too carefree, and Lin Yueyao was afraid that she would forget the oath she had made when she got too wild, so she reluctantly gave her a final reminder.
After all, it's a small matter if Xue Youyou forgets something, but if her identity is exposed now, her life might be completely over.
"Okay, take care, thanks for reminding me~" Xue Youyou waved and thanked her politely.
"snort!"
boom--!
Lin Yueyao slammed the door and left.
A few seconds later, Xue Youyou got up and went forward, pressing her ear to the door. After confirming that Lin Yueyao's footsteps had faded away and hearing the door open and close, she called Meng Yanqing and Lu Yutang out: "She has gone back to her room. You two come out quickly."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of crashing sounds came from under the bed.
"Ouch—, I bumped my head on the bed! Ouch, that hurts!"
"Hey, don't push me!"
"You go out first!"
"It's stuck..."
Hearing the noise, Xue Youyou helped lift the bed legs up a bit, allowing Lu Yutang and Meng Yanqing to crawl out smoothly.
The two women who emerged from under the bed both let out a long sigh of relief; they had been feeling suffocated just now.
Meng Yanqing, in particular, not only listened to two conversations while lying down, but was also squeezed to the very back by Lu Yutang who came in later. She was curled up without moving, which made her feel a bit sore.
"That moonstone..."
"You two..."
"The Moon Worship Cult..."
The three of them spoke almost simultaneously, and then stopped at the same time.
After exchanging glances, the three of them said in unison, "You go first."
"..."
"Cough cough."
Finally, Xue Youyou coughed lightly and broke the awkward silence: "Let's go in order, Yutang, you go first."
Lu Yutang didn't stand on ceremony, her gaze shifting back and forth between Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing, before asking the question that had been on her mind ever since she saw Meng Yanqing under the bed: "You two are both wearing bathrobes, are you planning to sleep together?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing's face instantly turned bright red, and she immediately denied it, saying, "Don't think nonsense. The shower head in my room's bathroom is broken, so I came to Xue Youyou's place to borrow a bathroom to take a shower."
"Okay, I got it. I just wanted to confirm. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Lu Yutang patted Meng Yanqing on the back with a cheerful smile.
"What do you know?!"
Clearly, Meng Yanqing's attempt to cover up her misdeeds couldn't fool Lu Yutang.
Lu Yutang leaned close to Meng Yanqing's ear and whispered, "You're so lucky! I'm so envious. Actually, I was thinking that if I can't contract a divine beast in this lifetime, I might as well marry Youyou. That way, I'll indirectly have a divine beast too."
Lu Yutang's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible in the enclosed room.
Hearing this, Xue Youyou's eyes twitched.
Lu Yutang's words reminded her of the strange pet ethics that Guanghan Zhan had once said—that your wife is my wife, and my contracted beast is also your contracted beast.
It's very mind-bending and confusing; Xue Youyou simply can't figure it out.
However, Lu Yutang's words seemed to have a great impact on Meng Yanqing.
"Hey Haki Deer, you're actually trying to steal your teammate's girl just because of a mere legendary Pokémon?!"
"It's just a mere mythical beast."
"Just a mere mythical beast..."
"Wow, that's a mythical beast!"
Meng Yanqing knelt down abruptly, hugged Xue Youyou's long, white legs, and asked with tears streaming down her face, "Youyou, tell me the truth, is that moonstone in the shop really a divine beast?"
At this moment, Meng Yanqing's appearance was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard of it would be saddened, and anyone who saw it would shed tears.
Xue Youyou reluctantly looked away and nodded, saying, "Yes."
"Wow—!"
Meng Yanqing burst into tears.
She couldn't accept that the Moonstone she used to feed every day was actually a divine beast reincarnated.
For three consecutive years, I could see it every day, but no one paid any attention to it. It remained in the store, and in the end, it was simply given away.
Xue Youyou squatted down, patted Meng Yanqing's head, and tried to comfort her, "Hehe, it's okay. As the saying goes, a good horse is easy to find, but a discerning eye is rare. Even a divine beast hides its talents, so how many people can discover it? I was just lucky, a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse."
"I'm not angry with you, Youyou, I'm just angry with myself..."
"By the way, who is Bole?"
"It refers to those beast tamers who have a keen eye."
"As expected, a loser like me, who has neither discernment nor luck, will never be favored by a divine beast..."
Lan Zhiyuan is a peerless genius who is in seclusion.
"hehe……"
Just as Xue Youyou was considering whether to wake her up directly, she caught a glimpse of a silver shadow flashing past the window out of the corner of her eye.
Xue Youyou suddenly turned her head to look at the round window, staring at the night scene before her with surprise and uncertainty.
It happened so quickly, just like that.
It shouldn't be her imagination; she did indeed see a dragon-shaped pet fly past the window.
