Chapter 269: Chapter 269

Take me with you, take me with you~

The White Extreme Rat stared longingly at Qian Qi. As long as it becomes a B-level or A-level magical beast, it can return with excellent offspring, turning the White Extreme Rat clan into an A-level rat group or a B-level rat group, no longer relying on others for food!

"Squeak~ squeak squeak~"

Beast Master~ Powerful one~ Take me with you~~~

Qian Qi heard its squeaking but didn’t understand. After trying to comprehend, she suddenly had an epiphany and collected the sack beside it, "I get it, you want to thank me for saving your lives earlier, so these are thank you gifts!"

Hahaha, such a small help is not worth mentioning, I’ll ’reluctantly’ accept these treasures!

Qian Qi cautiously picked up the sack. Seeing the White Extreme Rat showed no resistance, she thought she understood correctly and quickly tied the sack with the A-level rope, afraid they would regret it.

The White Extreme Rat, seeing that she packed its belongings, also thought she agreed to take it along, and cheered happily. It scampered atop Qian Qi’s head, raised its arms, and declared to its clan:

"Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak squeak squeak!"

Family! When I return, I will surely spread excellent seeds widely and strengthen our White Extreme Rat clan!!!

The White Extreme Rats, tears in their eyes, stood up one after another, raising their arms and cheering, "Willing to share the rise and fall with the clan leader!"

Seeing the White Extreme Rats so excited, Qian Qi turned to Qian Ba, the only one who could speak, and asked, "Are they holding some kind of ceremony?"

Qian Ba: "I don’t know."

"Wasn’t asking you." Qian Qi gestured her eyes towards the Demon Wolf General, "Ask your fellow tribesman, does it know?"

Qian Ba had to turn and ask the Demon Wolf General, who let out a low growl, and Qian Ba translated, "This should be their farewell ceremony."

"I see!" Qian Qi didn’t expect the White Extreme Rats to be so particular, even holding a farewell ceremony for her, and scratched her helmet bashfully, "These rats are rather nice~"

After the "farewell ceremony," Qian Qi led the Moon-devouring Demon Wolves towards the Deserted Sand Island’s instance exit.

What surprised her was that the magical beasts that followed her earlier continued to follow her out of the Glacier Valley, only stopping at the instance exit.

Qian Qi couldn’t help but look at Qian Ba again.

Qian Ba finally told the truth, "They want to find a Beast Master."

"What?" Qian Qi tilted her head in confusion, "Aren’t magical beasts disdainful of contracting with humans?"

Qian Ba didn’t know either; it was just born, how could it know the rules of the magical beast world?

It turned to ask the Demon Wolf General, "Aren’t magical beasts disdainful of contracting with Beast Masters?"

The Demon Wolf General corrected, "They disdain contracting with weak Beast Masters."

Over there, unless a Beast Master has done a favor for a magical beast, or the magical beasts themselves don’t want to strive anymore, they would agree to a Beast Master’s contract request.

Of course, there are shameless Beast Masters who would steal eggs and forcibly contract with unborn magical beasts.

As for their Moon Silver Demon Wolf Clan, they generally dislike freeloading, and usually team up to strive on their own, only contracting with Beast Masters when necessary.

But there’s no need to tell Qian Ba this, right?

Thus, Qian Ba only got one reply and turned to Qian Qi, "My fellow tribesman said that magical beasts aren’t disdainful of contracting with Beast Masters, they disdain contracting with weak Beast Masters."

She had just been requested for contracts by so many magical beasts; in their eyes, she shouldn’t be considered weak, right?

So, could it be their definition of weakness is... too low?!

Holding her little fists, Qian Qi found herself in a dilemma. Truth be told, she had a pretty good impression of the magical beasts in the Glacier Valley, but taking them into the modern world, would it be beneficial or harmful to them?

To humans, would it be a blessing or a curse?

Qian Qi didn’t know either, and as she lingered at the instance exit, furrowing her brow deep in thought, she tried to analyze the pros and cons, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with an answer.

The main reason was she didn’t want to bear the consequences.

If she decided to take these magical beasts away and someone died because of them, it would be her fault.

She could still trust the Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves, but she couldn’t trust the other magical beasts.

After a moment of silence, she turned around and said, "Wait a minute, I need to make a call."

Qian Qi stepped out of the instance exit, stood in the real world, and opened the contact list on her Light Brain.

Magical beasts willing to be contracted are undoubtedly a windfall for the students of the Beast Taming Department, and she still wanted to fight for the students’ opportunities.

It’s just the origin of these magical beasts...

Qian Qi didn’t want to expose the Glacier Valley instance. The magical beasts in there were quite interesting, and they would even voluntarily show their contract patterns. She wanted to keep them all for herself, not for those Awakeners to hunt.

It would be a shame if they died.

After thinking for a while, she finally opened a contact and dialed their Light Brain.

"Hello?" A man’s voice came from the other side, "Qian Qi? Something up?"

"..." Qian Qi asked softly, "Principal, have you eaten?"

Seeing Qian Qi asking , the principal couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Her sudden politeness meant there couldn’t be anything good, "What do you want this time?"

If asked who she trusted the most in this world, it would undoubtedly be the principal, even more so than Xiang Wen Yun.

During her time organizing the Blood Stopping Magic Potion and Defense Fruit materials, she repeatedly refused the purchasing requests of the principal and Li Hongsheng, wanting to see if they would resort to unscrupulous means to exploit her and force her because of these human necessities.

But in fact, although the principal and Li Hongsheng were a bit stingy and poor, and always wanted to reason with emotions, they allowed her to refuse multiple times without severe condemnation or forceful coercion, always using gentle methods in hopes of purchasing her formulas.

And for her requests, the principal always tried his best to satisfy them. Even knowing that her wild personality would cause chaos in the campus instance exam, he still chose to let her enter the instance. Even after being tricked by her several times, he was still willing to fall into her schemes and compromise with her.

All those defiant behaviors belonging to a "troublesome, bad" student were met with a smile from him, showcasing his broad-mindedness and favoritism, making her willing to trust him at this moment.

Moreover, to protect her safety, the principal even secretly arranged bodyguards at places she frequently appeared...

If not for that one day when she happened to see Chen Tong trying to approach her on the street, he was immediately taken away by several black-suited bodyguards. She followed them out of curiosity and only then found out that the principal had hired some private bodyguards from the Mo Family to protect her secretly.

She asked the system, and the system said these bodyguards only patrolled around the orphanage, school entrance, and medical base, because they were just guarding against anyone trying to kidnap Qian Qi, and wouldn’t affect her daily life, so it didn’t tell her.

When she goes back this time, she’ll tell the principal to withdraw the bodyguards. After all, she’s already a B-level Awakener and doesn’t need B-level Awakeners to protect her anymore.

The money spent on hiring them, she’d rather have it!

"My benevolent and great principal!!!"

After coming back to her senses, Qian Qi smoothly started flattering, "You have contributed twenty years of your youth to Awakener University. One-fifth of the Awakeners in this world have graduated from your hands. The world knows of your great achievements in maintaining world peace—"

The principal listened as his eye twitched, "Cut to the chase, do you need money again!"
