Chapter 278: Chapter 278
Seeing Qian Qi’s innocent and bewildered expression, the Demon Wolf General was utterly exasperated, like hating iron for not being steel. He lifted a paw and pointed at the clear sky above the dungeon, cursing at Qian Qi.
"Awoo woo ooo awoo? Awoo? Awoo awoo woo woo awoo?"
Qian Qi couldn’t understand a single word, but felt that the Demon Wolf General was swearing quite nastily.
However, even though she couldn’t understand, she couldn’t lose her momentum, so she put her hands on her hips and yelled back, "What’s your problem howling, huh? Bullying me because I can’t understand wolf language? If you have the guts, become an A-level Magical Beast and curse me in human language! I just can’t understand! You old dumb wolf!"
Demon Wolf General: ?
The Demon Wolf General also couldn’t understand a single word, but felt that Qian Qi was swearing quite nastily too.
Seeing that Qian Qi was hopeless, the Demon Wolf General had no choice but to grab Silver by the scruff and dash towards the dungeon exit.
What’s going on? Can’t win the argument, so you steal a wolf in front of me?
Qian Qi hurriedly chased after, watching as the Demon Wolf General with Silver in his mouth dashed out of the dungeon. He placed Silver on the ground and then looked at Qian Qi with disdain, raising a paw to point at the dungeon exit and then at Silver.
Qian Qi pondered for two seconds and suddenly realized, "So magic beasts from other dungeons can also be brought out with local dungeon beasts! Then I could just have you sneak into a B-level dungeon and steal a bunch of magic beasts back?"
Demon Wolf General: ?
Although he couldn’t understand, he felt now was the time to show a shocked expression.
Beside them, finally outside the dungeon, Silver sat straight on the ground. No one knew what it did, but its smooth silver fur began to faintly glow, as if draped in a layer of silver-white moonlight, even its ice-blue wolf eyes subtly shifting towards moonlit pupils.
However, once that layer of "moonlight" faded, its wolf eyes returned to ice-blue. The only difference seemed to be that Silver’s condition looked much better.
Qian Ba poked his little head out from the dungeon exit and said to Qian Qi, "Qian Qi, don’t worry, mom is a Moon-devouring Wolf; she needs to absorb moon energy to nourish her body~"
He had overheard the conversation between the Demon Wolf General and mom. Mom said that after giving birth to him, her body became severely depleted, and her Magic Beast Level regressed to E-level, but unfortunately, this dungeon had no "moon," so she couldn’t absorb moon energy to restore her body’s deficiency.
But Qian Qi was unaware of this, which led to mom’s body never recovering well.
Just now, the Demon Wolf General was scolding Qian Qi for being a careless Beast Master, for imprisoning mom in a dungeon without "moon energy," causing her body to remain unhealed.
Upon hearing this, Qian Qi felt guilty.
She suddenly recalled that after the Little Demon Wolves all awakened to become C-level Demon Beasts, Silver had once indicated to her to take it out of the dungeon, but considering Silver wasn’t a Contracted Beast, taking it to the orphanage wouldn’t be quite right, and explaining it would be troublesome, she refused this request.
If Silver was a Moon-devouring Wolf, it would explain why no matter how much she restored it, Silver’s body remained weak. Because the Vegetable Garden Dungeon is always sunny without nights, seemingly without the existence of moons, let alone moon energy absorption...
And that Silver decisively chose the evolution direction of Moon-devouring Wolf also made sense.
"Silver, I’m sorry." Thinking about how Silver never mentioned it again after being refused once made Qian Qi feel heartache, just like a poor husband learning his postpartum wife took cold showers to save electricity for him, catching a cold that left lasting harm without a word of complaint. It wasn’t Silver’s fault; it was her own lack of attention and wealth, failing to notice Silver’s needs.
If she had worked harder to earn money and bought a large estate like Sikong Wang’s home to move Silver in, how could Silver have remained weak for so long?
Silver stretched out its tongue to lick Qian Qi’s cheek, seemingly saying it didn’t mind.
With thoughts of finding a suitable place for the Moon-devouring Wolves to live, after bringing the Demon Wolf General and Silver back to the dungeon, Qian Qi took off the sack from the Demon Wolf Army and evenly distributed the evolution materials inside.
"There are 13 B-level Demon Wolves now, plus 37 C-level Demon Wolves, and 8 D-level Demon Wolves..."
Qian Qi counted them and then distributed the C-level evolution materials from the sack according to needs to those 8 D-level Demon Wolves and Silver to help them become C-level Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves.
"Second, Fourth, and Sixth want to become B-level Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves..." Qian Qi placed the Ice Soul Xuanlong Grass in front of the three and Silver, then turned to the system, "Tongzi, the heart of the B-level Wind Snow Ape boss."
System: [What B-level Wind Snow Ape heart.]
Qian Qi: "The Magic Beast heart we put in your space earlier, right? Take it out so I can give it to the others."
System: [Don’t know, not clear, don’t have it here.]
Realizing something, Qian Qi suddenly thought this was bad.
This small-minded Tongzi was going for revenge!
Recognizing the situation, Qian Qi immediately lifted her head, rapidly blinking with puppy eyes to apologize cutely, "System~ I was wrong~ Please spit out the heart~"
[Oh oh oh~]The system, waiting for this moment, immediately replied with a sarcastic tone, [Weren’t you tough before~ Haha~ Didn’t you say you wanted to bump against my Ferrari? What’s wrong, owner of a Wuling car, wanting to fish something out of my soft Ferrari now? Hey~ Guess what~ You can’t fish it out~ The heart is mine now~]
[How come this student isn’t wild anymore?] The system turned its panel slightly, smiling, [Not wild by nature? ^＿^]
Never had she thought this misfortune awaited her. Qian Qi was utterly regretting, thinking that her mistake would prevent Second and the others from upgrading to B-level, she couldn’t help but feel regretful, crying and begging, "Brother Tongzi! I was wrong! It was me who didn’t know better, recklessly provoking you like that!"
"I’ll never do it again! Please be generous, I beg you to return the heart! I promise I’ll honor you properly in the future! Please forgive me just this once!"
When she had forcibly stuffed the Wind Snow Ape’s heart into the system space before, Qian Qi was so arrogant, and now, trying to retrieve the Wind Snow Ape’s heart from the system space, she was so humble; within one day, extremes switched, revealing the truth that "in life, one cannot always remain dominant, sooner or later you’ll end up facing setbacks."
Seeing Qian Qi apologize so humbly, the system finally cooled off its arrogance, opened its mouth, and spat out the heart. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFirｅ.net
Qian Qi received the heart, feeling deeply moved by the system’s good temper, she wiped her tears and snot onto the system panel, moved, saying, "Thank you, Brother Tongzi, in the future when I’m mad, I’ll definitely stop buying flashy boxers, only solid-colored ones!"
Caught off guard by the snot wiped all over it, the system: I #￥freak%...*@#￥%...
Darn Qian Qi! If I ever believe your apologies again, I’m a dog!
