Chapter 369: Chapter 369
Jiang Bao glanced at Sun Jiao lightly, fearing she’d declare she wanted to be Qian Qi’s woman the next second.
Fortunately, Sun Jiao didn’t have such thoughts. Instead, Yan Shuiyue beside her spoke coldly, "Mr. Qian’s Beast Taming Talent is unparalleled in the world. Surely, he’s leading all Beast Masters. Even if he reveals a little of his beast-taming tricks, it wouldn’t affect his status at all. In fact, it would earn him more praise."
She gazed deeply at Qian Qi, continuing, "What does Mr. Qian think?"
"Praise?" Qian Qi gently brushed off the Little White Extreme Rats hanging from his body and said lightly, "Miss Yan probably doesn’t understand me. I only value benefits, not accolades."
"Praise is worthless to me, or rather..." She lifted her eyes to glance at Yan Shuiyue, her pitch-black eyes seemingly piercing through her, making Yan Shuiyue’s heart skip a beat, "If I wanted the world’s praise, there are a thousand ways. And the few Beast Masters mean nothing to me."
"If the whole world were Beast Masters, perhaps I’d be a bit interested."
Qian Qi cast a meaningful look at Yan Shuiyue, then turned to leave, "I have other matters, so I won’t entertain you all."
Watching Qian Qi’s departing back, Yan Shuiyue’s heart raced. Qian Qi’s words just now undoubtedly implied something to her!
Sun Jiao, hugging her white dog plushie, slightly tilted her head, blinking, while Jiang Bao lowered his gaze thoughtfully, and Leng Yuntian was still immersed in jealousy towards Qian Qi, contemplating how to seize her Beast Taming Talent.
After a long while, Yan Shuiyue lightly patted her chest and said softly, "I’ll step away for a bit, don’t follow me."
Saying that, she quickly left the airport. Such a serene and cold fairy was seldom this eager. Back in her hovercar, Yan Shuiyue immediately turned on her Light Brain, but when her slender fingers touched the keyboard, they paused.
As the future heir of a Beast Taming Family, how could they not know that ordinary humans can also contract Magical Beasts?
However, this information is like a bomb ready to ignite at any moment. Even the Family Heads of the Beast Taming Families dare not easily touch it, let alone young ones without real power. The rıghtful source is noⅴelfire.net
Once leaked, certain death awaits.
The power of the Beast Taming Association’s Elder Council is intimidating, but the number of contracted Young Beasts is scarce, leaving one helpless. Even if the entire nation started beast taming now, it’s already too late.
The predicted apocalypse will destroy humanity. The Beast Taming Association has long given up on low-level civilians, planning to rely on their own Contracted Beasts to survive the apocalypse, preserving only the most precious seeds to continue human civilization...
Or perhaps it’s their dream of a totalitarian civilization.
Yan Shuiyue does not wish to join them.
She has her own thoughts and an untainted kindness. She doesn’t want to watch humanity’s extinction when there’s a way to save the world.
But she lacks the power to resist the Elder Council. What use is having an A-Level Contracted Beast? If they discover the slightest hint of rebellion in her, the elders can easily kill her.
As for her father, Yan Wuji, he’s merely a puppet raised to the chairman’s position!
Her father sent her to get close to Qian Dafang to understand how much he knows about National Beast Taming and how much he can help. He wants to know whether Qian Da Fang, if joining the Beast Taming Association, will become a puppet of the Elder Council or a force assisting the Yan Family in swallowing the Council in reverse.
If Qian Dafang becomes a puppet of the Elder Council, boosting their power, the Yan Family will kill him first.
But just now, Qian Dafang’s words and demeanor were undoubtedly conveying something to her.
If he, Qian Dafang, can indeed achieve National Beast Taming?
Yan Shuiyue tightly grasped the Light Brain on her wrist. In her eyes, Qian Dafang is just a 20-year-old youth. He shouldn’t have such deep scheming and vision, yet his talents are astonishing. Even the Seven Great Families give him special indulgence. Can such a person really lack that kind of vision?
Moreover, her father told her that Su Xingchen has already tested him, indicating that the Seven Great Families might have already known the secret behind the Beast Taming Association.
For survival, the Seven Great Families will surely also aid Qian Dafang.
"Better not tell father just yet." Yan Shuiyue murmured, feeling like she had caught a whiff of star dust left behind from a shooting star on the path to finding the stars, making her restless, "I need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Qian Dafang."
Simultaneously, on the other side, taking a glance at the absent-minded Leng Yuntian, Sun Jiao quickly gestured to Jiang Bao, and they headed to a secluded spot. Sun Jiao whispered, "Did you hear just now?"
Jiang Bao nodded slightly, "She definitely knows."
"Sigh." Sun Jiao gently held her forehead, complaining, "Now that we’re so close to Brother Dog, the Elder Council might think it was us who talked, right?"
Jiang Bao shook his head indifferently, "Don’t get involved in this. Others are more anxious than you."
"Oh?" Sun Jiao tilted her head, puzzled.
Jiang Bao tapped her head, "In any case, don’t worry about it."
Yan Shuiyue is definitely more anxious than the three of them.
Qian Qi inquired and found the Poisonous Emperor Pythons. They were now staying in newly built single rooms, a rare VIP treatment.
As he entered, he heard the Emperor Python King’s aged yet powerful voice cursing, "Foolish shooter! Even a chicken pecking at a phone plays better than you! Why bother playing shooter if you’re this bad? You’ve messed up all three skills!"
"Stop mentioning your parents. What are you boasting about if you’re so filial?"
"Foolish support, what equipment did you get? Did you dig out a shroud from your ancestors’ grave? If you can’t play, then don’t!"
In his line of sight, more than twenty Poisonous Emperor Pythons were gathered around several Light Brains playing a trending 5V5 tower defense game. Some Emperor Pythons were arrogantly waving their tails, rapidly tapping the game controls on the screen while cursing and coordinating their operations.
Beside them lay several picture books of unknown origin, and over ten Little White Extreme Rats stood on a large cement slab brought in from outside. The slab was gnawed by the White Extreme Rats into line after line resembling script, with some of them sprawled on the ground, looking dizzy and exhausted as if their brains were overworked.
Qian Qi took a closer look and found that the cement slab was inscribed with Chinese characters on one side and another unknown script on the other, which had been modified many times.
The system clicked twice: [In ancient times, there was Cangjie creating characters, now there’s Bai Ji creating characters. These White Extreme Rats are not to be underestimated...]
Qian Qi’s body trembled with awe, "The script on the right is the mice’s own created script?"
Oh my, these White Extreme Rats have incredible learning ability! Not only that, they are very competitive. They model for reporters in exchange for jewelry necklaces, attract Magical Beasts to follow them, and now even learn human Chinese characters, narrowing the language gap...
Qian Qi looked at the hardworking White Extreme Rats, then at the game-obsessed Poisonous Emperor Pythons, feeling like he was seeing a studious daughter and a game-addicted son, almost losing his breath.
Without comparison, there’s no damage!
