Chapter 220: 171: Are You a Beast Master!? (Twoin-One)_2
“Honey, do you think it’s appropriate for us to let our daughter go out late at night for dinner with that kid Fang Mu?”
“You saw how Xiao Tao was tonight, this…”
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the woman’s eye roll.
“Old Hu, are you finally waking up to the realization!? All those breakfasts I made for half a term were wasted?
“You know very well what our daughter’s intentions are.”
“We’ve met Fang Mu. He has a good character and is down-to-earth.”
“Xiao Tao’s academic grades improved thanks to Fang Mu’s help.”
“Let the young people work out their own issues. We adults should stop worrying!”
“Speaking of which, old Hu, it seems like we knew Fang Mu before Xiao Tao did!”
The man looked out the window, sighing.
“The key is, Fang Mu is not a Beast Master.”
At these words, the woman reached out and slapped the man on the arm, saying.
“So what if he’s not a Beast Master?”
“With his grades, Fang Mu is practically guaranteed a place at Jinghai Tianyu University.”
“Even if he doesn’t become a Maker’s Assistant, he could still be a scholar.
“You’re not thinking, just because Xiao Tao awakened three mysterious patterns at such a young age, that she should pursue other possibilities, are you?”
“Old Hu, finding a steady person is much better!”
“Remember Chen Li, who moved away a while back? She hooked up with a Spirit-smithing Master, didn’t she?”
“They made quite the scene when they left, but in less than half a year, they moved back.”
The man gave the woman a rare eye roll.
“Wife, what on earth are you thinking?”
“What I meant about Fang Mu not being a Beast Master is that his lifespan will not be the same as Xiao Tao’s.”
“The lifespan of non-Beast Masters is essentially a hundred years.”
“But Xiao Tao, she can keep advancing her Beast Master Star Level, she could live a few decades more than Fang Mu.”
“If their feelings for each other are deep, those extra decades would be unbearable!”
After Hu Tao got in the car and sat next to Fang Mu, she started a lively conversation.
Hu Tao is generally chattery, especially with Fang Mu.
Fang Mu is a man of few words, and thus feels comfortable in Hu Tao’s company.
Because Fang Mu never needs to worry about running out of things to talk about with her.
Fang Mu found from their conversation that Hu Tao had quite the exciting journey.
In his previous life, Fang Mu often traveled out of town and conducted research on various insects and plants.
Regardless of the reason behind Fang Mu’s animal collecting, whether it was for academic research or not, he would be treated as a poacher.
In these sixteen years, Fang Mu hasn’t ventured out much.
If given the chance, it may be a good idea for him to go on an adventure. Hu Tao knew that it was Fang Mu who asked her out to dinner tonight, but as they walked, something felt off to her.
They had already passed the East District of JA City, but the Six-Hoof Dish
Sheep Car continued to head south.
The restaurants in the South District are all too upscale.
Even the lowest-rated ones would cost double the price of two visits to the Contemplation Hall!
In those restaurants where even the simplest dishes are made with ingredients derived from Guardian Beasts, Hu Tao had only eaten once before high school, with her family.
The reason they dined out in such a place once was to celebrate her admission to Jinghai High School for Beast Masters and her parents’ wedding anniversary.
Even though the restaurant in the South District was not the highest-end one, Hu Tao still felt immense pressure.
The meal for three of them cost nearly forty thousand Dragon Rising Coins for just five dishes.
And now, Fang Mu was taking her to such a place, which made Hu Tao quickly suggest.
“Fang Mu, I remember there is a really good hot pot restaurant next to your house.”
“That hot pot restaurant stays open until late at night, like one or two in the morning!”
“Let’s go there!”
The driver of the car, overhearing Hu Tao’s words, thought that Hu Tao was hungry.
Fearing that the young lad might think his driving was too slow and complain about him, the driver spoke up.
Young people are impulsive, and if there’s an issue, he would just have to swallow the injustice.
Someone who can invite their girlfriend to the Sea Banquet Palace for a midnight snack is definitely not a simple person, and not someone he could afford to offend.
It’s always better to avoid unnecessary trouble when working outside.
“Don’t worry, miss! We’ll be at Sea Banquet Palace in two or three minutes!”
Hu Tao, afraid of Fang Mu spending too much money, almost bit her tongue when she heard the three words “Sea Banquet Palace”.
Sea Banquet Palace? That’s the most expensive restaurant in the whole of JA City!
Hu Tao hadn’t delved too deeply into Fang Mu’s family situation, she only knew that Fang Mu’s parents had passed away in an accident.
All three of his siblings at home were excellent, each one a graduate of Jinghai High School for Beast Masters and all of them had made it into Jinghai Tianyu University!
Having three Beast Masters in the family must exert a lot of pressure. Fang Mu, on the other hand, looked modest and didn’t seem to come from a rich family.
Fang Mu smiled and looked at Hu Tao.
Most girls would be overjoyed if someone invited them to a nice restaurant, but Hu Tao was trying to save him money.
As someone who’s been there, Fang Mu knew it represented Hu Tao’s character and values.
Only a good girl raised by an honest family would have such qualities.
“I’ve already made a reservation at the Sea Banquet Palace.”
“Before you left, I told you that I’d treat you to a nice meal when you returned..”
