Chapter 113 - 112: The Little Wish of the Mud Monster
Just as Zhou Yan was dragging Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan towards the battlefield, the entrance door of the hall was suddenly kicked open by someone. The clear sound of shattering drew everyone’s attention.
“What a shoddy door, it can’t even withstand a kick.”
A robust woman walked in from outside, glaring at the wobbly door with disdain and spat.
Wow, are all the female Beast Masters at the headquarters so fierce?
Bai Qi stood stunned, looking at the woman in front of him and couldn’t utter a word. The other Beast Masters around him were also equally shocked.
As for the rest, they seemed to have guessed something, their faces filled with despair.
The rumor turned out to be true. The chief instructor of this training session is truly this wild woman.
A Master of the Sunrise Level, a combat enthusiast known as the “Fist of Songlin,” Leng Feifei.
After complaining about some of the Logistics officers, Leng Feifei started to examine the Beast Masters in the hall.
“Teacher, you’re here!”
Immediately sighting Leng Feifei’s appearance, Zhou Yan dropped Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan and excitedly ran towards her. As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Leng Feifei landed a hefty punch on her head.
“You’re bouncing around like a kangaroo, don’t you have any poise as a lady? Can’t you learn from people like Lu Qing, and didn’t I tell you what to call me here?”
Zhou Yan covered the back of her head with a wronged look, secretly stuck her tongue out at Lu Qing, and quickly straightened her body to bow respectfully to Leng Feifei.
“Good Morning, Chief Instructor!”
Leng Feifei nodded satisfactorily. However, the Beast Masters from various parts of the Federation inevitably looked at the damaged door behind her, then at the athletically built Leng Feifei and shivered uncontrollably.
Just a kick from her could shatter a metal door. If they were at the receiving end, they would not stand a chance.
Mum, I want to go home!
After admonishing Zhou Yan for a while, Leng Feifei finally turned her gaze towards the Beast Masters in the hall. Wherever her gaze reached, none dared to make eye contact.
“Hmph! This year’s students are really boring.”
Leng Feifei shook her head, saying, “Although it’s a bit troublesome, let me introduce myself formally. I am Leng Feifei, your chief instructor for this training session.”
“I’ll make it clear from the start, if you came here just to have a good time, I suggest you leave immediately. Don’t waste each other’s time, or else I assure you the coming days won’t be pleasant.”
“You all have one day to consider. Those who want to stay should gather here at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“By the way, remember, I don’t like latecomers.”
After saying her piece, Leng Feifei turned and left without hesitation. Seeing this, Zhou Yan could only regretfully let go of Bai Qiucha, pinched Bai Qiucha’s chubby face hard, and silently followed.
“Whew- I was saved…”
Upon seeing Zhou Yan leave, Bai Qiucha finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly approached him and said, “I’ve never seen you this flustered before. What on earth did Zhou Yan do to you?”
Having interacted with Bai Qiucha over the past few days, Bai Qi had started to gain a preliminary understanding of him.
There was no need to mention his extraordinary talent; the unique Spirit Master ability of the Federation made it difficult for him not to become a legend.
His family background was also impressive; he was the heir to one of the oldest families in the association and the Titled Legendary Son.
These two factors contributed to Bai Qiucha’s solid self-confidence and self- esteem.
Had he not been deceived by Bai Qi, with Qiucha’s character, he would probably still be at odds with the Tower of Gratitude.
The fact that such a person was displaying fear to another Beast Master was indeed shocking.
At Bai Qi’s words, Bai Qiucha rarely rolled his eyes, saying, “If you were beaten by Sister Yan since childhood for over ten years, you’d probably be worse off than me.”
Beaten for over ten years?
Poor kid.
Bai Qi sympathetically patted Bai Qiucha’s shoulder in consolation.
Seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Bai Qiucha irritably said, “Don’t get too happy too soon. Aunt Leng is Sister Yan’s teacher. Her passion for combat surpasses even Sister Yan’s. So, if you want to successfully complete the training, you better mentally prepare.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi’s smile immediately froze on his face. If even Zhou Yan was scared to breathe heavily in front of Leng Feifei, one could only imagine how terrifying Leng Feifei was.
Thinking about it, Zhang Shan might seem quite cute in comparison.
At least, Zhang Shan wouldn’t kick down a door.
Whatever, let’s take one step at a time.
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and was then led by the Association staff to the academy dormitory by the castle.
Matching the overall style of the surroundings, the students’ dormitory also adopted an ancient design. However, it was fully equipped and was singleroomed, which Bai Qi appreciated.
Finally, not having to experience living in an eight-person dormitory like his previous life.
Bai Qi and others reported quite late, so the dorms were almost full, leaving only a corner for Bai Qi.
Bai Qi didn’t mind this. After all, he spent at least half of his twenty-four hours a day in the mysteries. The dorm was truly just for sleeping. There was basically no difference between giving him a lakeside room or a basement.
Bai Qiucha, as the future successor of the Bai family, naturally had a mansion in Songlin City.
However, Bai Qiucha didn’t seem to want to make it too special, so he also opened a dormitory room opposite Bai Qi.
“Considering Aunt Leng’s personality, there’s a good chance of a combat test tomorrow, so you should rest well today.”
Bai Qiucha reminded Bai Qi and then closed the dormitory door. It was apparent that he was still holding a grudge against Bai Qi for abandoning him.
Bai Qi shrugged off this situation, unfazed. He had already gotten used to Bai Qiucha’s tsundere image and went straight into the mysteries after entering the dormitory.
He spent the last few days on Bai Qiucha’s private plane. To avoid suddenly appearing mid-air while entering and exiting the mysteries, Bai Qi hadn’t entered them for a few days. Now, he finally got a chance, so naturally, he wanted to check on the situation there.
Aw-woooo…
(Human, I admit my mistake, please take this thing away…)
As soon as Bai Qi entered the secret realm, the Husky rushed to him frantically, looking at Bai Qi with a face full of grief.
Seeing Husky looking like this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh.
The idiot had been subdued by Alpha but was not discouraged, but now it actually surrendered to a slime monster?
There’s always something out there that can defeat another, this saying really was true.
The Slime Monster seemed to sense Bai Qi’s arrival, its jelly-like body suddenly sprouting two large eyes. After looking at Bai Qi for a few moments, it jumped onto Bai Qi, and then began to dance wildly.
Bilop, bllop.
“Uh, I have no idea what you’re trying to say.”
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, he had not established a contract with the Slime Monster, so he couldn’t understand what it was thinking.
Just as Bai Qi was feeling perplexed, Schuck, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly woke up and said, “It says it’s very happy living here, and it’s asking if you, Beast Master, could not send it away.”
“Schuck, can you understand the Slime Monster’s dialect?”
Schuck shook his head and said, “Of course I can’t understand, but Beta can.”
Bai Qi then realized, Beta’s Soul Whisper could allow it to make a connection with someone else’s soul, understanding the Slime Monster’s language was certainly not a problem.
“Beta, you’re finally useful.”
Bai Qi patted Beta’s head with relief, “Tell it for me, I won’t send it away.”
Although he was still uncertain about whether to form a contract with the Slime Monster as his third pet beast or not, Bai Qi did not plan on letting it go even if he decided not to.
After all, it was a mutant species, if not now, he could always keep it for contracting later. It’s not too much trouble to feed it.
Woof woof!
(I refuse!)
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s plan to keep the Slime Monster, Beta turned its head away and ignored Bai Qi.
Bai Qi asked, “Is that so? I was actually thinking about bringing you out to play, but it seems there’s no need now?”
Aw-woo?
(Go out to play?)
Beta’s eyes lit up at those words. If it could go outside, wouldn’t it have the chance to get rid of this annoying slime?
Thinking about finally being able to free itself from the Slime Monster’s bondage, Beta immediately made contact with the Slime Monster.
Woof, woof!
Bllop, bllop.
Woof, woof!
Bllop, bllop.
The dog and the Slime Monster happily began communicating and quickly came to a conclusion.
Woof, woof!
(Human, it understands your intentions, but it’s asking if it can stay in a different place.)
Bai Qi asked in confusion, “A different place? Where?”
Beta glanced at Alpha’s direction but remained silent. Bai Qi then looked at Beta suspiciously, “This isn’t you settling scores, is it?”
Aw-woooo!
“Human, you’re insulting my doggy dignity!”
Beta retorted Bai Qi’s words indignantly, but the shifting of its eyes exposed its true intentions.
“Schuck, maybe you should take over.”
Bai Qi looked at Schuck, who immediately understood what to do. He directly stunned Beta and took full control of its body.
“Beast Master, I suggest you also integrate the Thunder Stone into my evolutionary process, as this body’s electric resistance is increasing.”
After stunning Beta, Schuck made a very serious suggestion to Bai Qi.
“Uh, okay.”
Bai Qi nodded at Schuck’s words. Schuck, an intelligence borne from the same body, was pretty ruthless to itself. It made him wonder if becoming fused with the smart brain made its thinking become mechanical as well.
Poor Beta.
Though, Schuck’s suggestion was indeed a good one. Like that Thunder Roar Cannon from last time, if Husky could command both thunder and fire abilities, it would undoubtedly be a lot more convenient.
It didn’t take long for Schuck to finish communicating with the Slime Monster, exposing its real thoughts to Bai Qi.
The request was simple, just ensure it’s well-fed.
“I see, that’s easy to solve. There are lots of things I can’t provide, but three meals a day is no problem, you can stay here without worry.”
Looking at the gradually forming planting area in the secret realm, Bai Qi made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life!
“As long as it doesn’t cause destruction, you can eat anything else, eat your fill!”
