Chapter 282: Chapter 282

It’s winter now, and a clear white mist appears as you breathe out, while snowflakes that started falling at an unknown time lightly land on Qian Qi’s eyelashes.

"Is it snowing?" Qian Qi raised his hand to catch a snowflake, excitedly calling out to the system, "Tongzi! It’s snowing! It’s the first snow!"

This is the first time seeing snow since coming to this world, of course, seeing it in an instance doesn’t count. Qian Qi watched the white snowflakes quickly melt in his warm palm and couldn’t help but stick out his little tongue to try to lick the falling snowflakes in the air.

System: [Snow is inedible and unhygienic. Snowflakes, during their fall, can trap pollutants in the air like a net, such as car exhaust, pesticides, dust, coal soot, minerals, various bacteria and fungi, even carcinogens like benzene...]

System: [This informational tip costs 2 dollars, please pay ^_^.]

This damn system is intentionally ruining such a beautiful atmosphere!

Arriving at the Magic Beast Warehouse, Qian Qi greeted Uncle Li and said he was going to walk Ah Tu. Uncle Li remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, while you were away, the Earth Rhinoceros Spirit has already hatched. Do you want to take a look?"

"Oh?" Thinking of those three Earth Rhinoceros Spirit Eggs and the Bone Worm Beast Egg in the little black room, Qian Qi realized it had indeed been a long time since he had checked on them. Because of being too busy, he had entrusted Uncle Li to take care of them, asking him to feed the Bone Worm Beast daily and provide incubation liquid to the beast eggs.

"Let’s go take a look then." After all, he had found the eggs, so he should at least check on them.

The playboy Qian Qi thought as much.

Uncle Li came out of the control room, carrying a bunch of keycards, and led Qian Qi to the third floor. Qian Qi curiously looked around, "Did the Earth Rhinoceros Spirit move to a new place?"

"That little black room got too cramped long ago," Uncle Li said with a laugh. "Your white worm has grown big and plump, and it won’t let me touch the Magic Beast Egg, nor will it leave the little black room willingly. It would rather squeeze inside that little room, quite stubbornly."

Qian Qi rubbed his chin, "It’s fattened up, huh? Seems like we can slaughter it."

Uncle Li rubbed his ears, almost thinking he misheard.

The Earth Rhinoceros Spirit was now moved to the beast warehouse on the third floor. At first glance, Qian Qi noticed that these three Earth Rhinoceros Spirits were even larger than their mother back when she was alive, each one full of energy, immediately charging excitedly upon seeing Uncle Li.

Uncle Li petted their horns, "These little Magic Beasts, freshly hatched from the beast eggs, are quite affectionate. I guess that like human infants, they can hear external sounds from inside the egg. Probably because I frequently went to change their incubation liquid, they are familiar with the sound of my footsteps and my scent."

"But that incubation liquid only barely allowed them to hatch. These little ones were so weak when they first came out, obviously malnourished, and they couldn’t eat anything. If it weren’t for the white meat from the Bone Worm Beast’s mouth nourishing them, I doubt they could have survived."

"Look at them now; they’re much stronger than other Earth Rhinoceros Spirits. Who would guess they’re only a month old?" Uncle Li gazed at the three Earth Rhinoceros Spirits as if they were his own sons, filled with pride.

"Indeed, they do seem more robust than other Earth Rhinoceros Spirits," Qian Qi acknowledged. After all, the white meat from the Bone Worm Beast’s stomach had high nutritional value, even to the envy of the Moyu and Moon Silver Demon Wolves.

"What do you plan to do with these Earth Rhinoceros Spirits?" Uncle Li asked. He knew the principal left these three Magic Beast Eggs to test if the incubation liquid was effective, and now that they’ve hatched, it’s time to consider their future.

"Let’s leave them for the students of the Beast Taming Department." Qian Qi rubbed his nose. "I can’t take care of so many."

"Alright," Uncle Li agreed readily, leading Qian Qi to the little black room, "Take a look to see how to manage it, and maybe arrange a bigger house for the Bone Worm Beast."

As soon as the door to the little black room opened, Qian Qi saw a huge chunk of white meat rushing out. Uncle Li cleared his throat, and the white meat slowly wriggled, ending with the Bone Worm Beast’s mouth opening wide like the maw of an abyss at the doorway.

"It’s thinking it’s feeding time," Uncle Li said helplessly. "Because there’s no room in there, I now just dump the bucket of Demon Beast meat at the door."

Qian Qi raised an eyebrow, extending a hand to mischievously pluck out one of the fangs from the gaping maw in front of her.

This familiar sensation made the Bone Worm Beast’s whole body jolt in a tiger-like stance, hurriedly shutting its big mouth. After a series of wriggles, its pitch-black eyes squeezed out from the doorway. Upon seeing it was indeed the long-missed Qian Qi, a little fat worm as thick as a finger shot out of the big fat worm, landing with a "plop" on Qian Qi’s face.

She actually came to see it!

It thought she had died out there!

Qian Qi picked up the little white worm, clicking her tongue as she looked at the room full of big fat worms, "Looks like you’ve been eating well."

The little white worm twisted its body as if to say, "just so-so."

"Come on, let’s get you a new room," Qian Qi said, chuckling, pulling the giant Bone Worm Beast inside the room out.

Seeing Qian Qi seemed to want the big Bone Worm Beast to exit the room, the little white worm made a "pfft" sound, and the big Bone Worm Beast inside the black room divided into several Bone Worm Beasts, pouring out of the little black room one after another. The black Demon Egg that was originally in the bathtub was nowhere to be seen, obviously inside one of these Bone Worm Beasts.

Uncle Li turned to lead the way for Qian Qi, and along the way to the large Magic Beast warehouse, for unknown reasons, the usually quiet Magic Beasts in the beast warehouses they passed suddenly became agitated, rushing to the gate, howling towards them, trying hard to expose their mouths and teeth through the iron bars.

Uncle Li expressed his confusion, "They’re usually very quiet. Why are they so noisy today?"

Qian Qi glanced at the Bone Worm Beast in her hand. The little Bone Worm Beast was happily twisting its little waist in her palm, spitting a piece of white meat towards the sky, catching it back into its mouth, and repeating the trick, like a little juggler worm.

And its bright green eyes were looking at these Magic Beasts with an expression full of teasing, as if deliberately tempting these low-level Magic Beasts.

How to describe it, it’s kind of like "I just love seeing you wanting to eat me but you can’t."

Qian Qi gave it a punch, smashing it into pieces, sneering, "In the instance, wave after wave of Magic Beasts chased me because they craved you, but after staying in the Magic Beast Warehouse for so long, not a single beast desired you. So, you were deliberately provoking the Magic Beasts to kill me in the instance, weren’t you?"

Little Bone Worm Beast: ...

The little white worm tried to curry favor by spitting a piece of white meat and pushing it toward Qian Qi.

So annoying, she hasn’t seen me for such a short time, and this human’s strength has already grown to B-level.

After moving those Bone Worm Beasts to the larger room, Qian Qi picked one, planning to take it to the back mountain to feed the Moyu as a snack. Remembering something, she turned to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, can I take Ah Tu to the Magic Plant Department? I promise it won’t hurt anyone."

"Sure, take it, take it," Uncle Li laughed heartily, "That kid misses you a lot. When you were gone, it was so downcast."

Ah Tu indeed was downcast. In the past, any Flame Dog that was contracted by a human would be teased by other Flame Dogs, yet now, every Flame Dog here had a contractor, leaving it as the only one without one, an oddity.

"Woof..." Ah Tu rested its big head on its forelimbs, its red canine eyes peering through the iron gate of the Magic Beast Warehouse, longingly looking towards the elevator entrance, as usual expecting that familiar figure to appear.

"Ah Tu~" This content belongs to novel_fіre.net

Suddenly, a crisp and bright voice rang out. Ah Tu’s canine ears pricked up sharply, almost thinking it was hearing things. However, when a familiar slender figure rushed out of the elevator entrance, its eyes widened in disbelief.
