Chapter 453: Chapter 453

After walking together for a while, they tacitly split up and returned to the camp separately, to avoid attracting attention.

Qian Qi lightly leaped onto a tree, retracing her path back. Suddenly, she remembered something and took a detour.

Until the corner of her eye caught a familiar figure on the ground, she stopped and exclaimed, "Oh, Brother Leng, still squatting here?"

Half-asleep and half-awake Leng Yuntian almost scared himself into wetting his pants.

He hastily pulled up his pants and looked up at Qian Qi squatting on the tree, cursing, "No, Qian Qi, you—"

Realizing the other party was a woman, Leng Yuntian bit back his curse, his eyebrows twitching as he shouted, "Can’t you be a bit discreet? There is a difference between men and women!"

"Is that so..." Qian Qi mused slightly, then continued, "In that case, let’s make a pact of sisterhood here today; not to be born on the same day, nor to die on the same day, but to be able to comfortably ’relieve ourselves’ when constipated on the same day. From today on, we’ll address each other as sisters..." For more chapters visıt novel·fiɾe·net

Leng Yuntian almost fainted from anger.

This Qian Qi, why is she as annoying as Qian Dafang!

"You look quite miserable, Sister Leng. How about I lend you a hand?" Qian Qi casually broke off a twig, stuck it in her mouth, and leaned lazily against the branch, looking at him with an air of mischief.

"That’s hilarious, how could you possibly lend me a hand?" Leng Yuntian no longer cared to maintain the elegant image of a gentleman in front of Qian Qi and looked at her with disdain, "You’re constipated yourself, and you think you can help me?"

Qian Qi gave a meaningful smile, raised her slender forefinger, and pointed lightly at Leng Yuntian, "At the very least, I can give you some spiritual encouragement. I wish your intestines good luck~"

After saying that, she lightly leapt up and disappeared into the night.

As for Leng Yuntian standing there, his face suddenly changed.

Strange, why does his stomach suddenly hurt?

Ah! It feels like he needs to, uh, go—!

Wait! He hasn’t pulled down his pants yet—!

Back at the camp, Moyu hurried the Little Ink Crows into the deep forest to deal with the Demon Beast Meat that Su Ang, the master chef, had diced up.

A group of Little Ink Crows tiptoed sneakily out of the camp, but the two commanders on night watch only glanced at them and paid no mind.

Hungry Magic Beasts would seek food on their own, and since these Little Ink Crows hadn’t eaten all day, going out for food at midnight was indeed normal.

Qian Qi looked at the sky and then at the time on her Light Brain, estimating there were still two hours before the sun rose.

She could sleep for another two hours.

Hugging her sleeping bag, she glanced around and spotted Su Ang, sitting with his knees bent under a black tree, eyes closed, resting, so she walked over.

The silver-haired young man opened his eyes to look at her, surprised, as if not expecting her to come over on her own.

"Um, can I borrow a spot here... Do you mind?" Qian Qi pointed to the space beside him.

This was the safest spot, and Qian Qi wanted to completely recharge her energy within the two hours in a place she felt absolutely secure, to enter deep sleep with full peace of mind.

Throwing her sleeping bag down, Qian Qi lay down and quickly fell asleep.

She had always fallen into dreams fast, likely due to the substantial amount of daily activities, thus never suffering insomnia, and soon her breathing became calm and steady.

The silver-haired youth lowered his gaze, his legs initially one straight, one bent, were now completely retracted into a cross-legged sitting position, with long arms wrapped around, and his handsome face gently resting on his shoulder.

Then, as if melting snow in spring, his gaze lightly and cautiously landed on the girl’s sleeping face.

Not knowing how long he looked or what thoughts passed through his mind, his right hand slowly dropped, the slender, pale fingers tentatively brushing her black hair aside from her ear.

His fingertip accidentally brushed her browtail, causing a tingly sensation to spread through his heart.

Nervously, he glanced at the girl.

The girl wasn’t awake, still sleeping soundly.

He let out a sigh of relief, just about to withdraw his hand when the girl turned in her sleep, her arm landing under the pillow, and her small hand fell into the young man’s palm.

The silver-haired young man’s body tensed instantly.

The girl’s hand, though still wearing black combat gloves, was soft and small. The coolness of the night seeped through the leather glove into the warmth of his palm, her slender fingers intertwining with his as though they were interlaced, merging cold and warmth, and conveying ambiguity.

Su Ang’s lowered head sunk further until his face was almost buried in his shoulders, leaving only his star-like eyes visible. Beneath the pale eye tails and cheeks, a blush spread like plum blossoms on snow.

He didn’t want to let go at all.

Unexpectedly, the girl’s inappropriate sleeping posture during sleep turned into a big turn, and she rolled off the sleeping bag.

The silver-haired young man quickly used his other hand to catch her rolling arm, selfishly tightening his grip on her fingers, and carefully helped her back into the sleeping bag.

And so it went until the alarm rang, waking Qian Qi up.

She bounced up from the sleeping bag like a corpse reviving, forcibly withdrawing her small hand from the young man’s grasp. Because she was in such a hurry and her mind was filled with the tasks ahead, she paid no attention to where her hand had been or what it had felt.

She hastily pulled out a loudspeaker and shouted to the students, "Get up, get up! Hurry up and wake up! Time to eat!"

This yelling startled the Beast Taming Department students in dreamland, causing them to scurry up, "Eating? Eating what?"

Wasn’t it supposed to be self-service at this time?

Why was the grand Qian Qi personally calling them? Wasn’t it not time yet?

The Magic Plant Department students next to them were much calmer, just turning their bodies and continuing to sleep heavily. Finally, it was Zhang Feng and a few others going around kicking butts that got them to reluctantly get up.

"Beast Taming Department, summon your Flame Dogs right now, time to feed them!" Qian Qi held up her loudspeaker and commanded coldly, "Check all B-level evolution materials for the Flame Dogs and don’t miss a thing! If the evolution doesn’t succeed, don’t expect a second helping from me!"

So it was the Flame Dog’s meal...

The Beast Taming Department students quickly took out the Phoenix Tail Bamboo Leaves and other evolution materials distributed yesterday from their bags and began to check them.

"Magic Plant Department, bring your tools and set off." Qian Qi turned to Zhang Feng, instructed a few things, and watched as the large group headed down the mountain, then turned to find Leng Yuntian.

"Leng..." Meeting Leng Yuntian’s wary and guarded eyes, Qian Qi swallowed the "sister" she was going to say, adapting flexibly and showing a gentle smile, "Brother Leng, could you help out?"

Leng Yuntian immediately sneered, folding his arms across his chest, and said sarcastically, "Oh~ Even the all-powerful Qian Family needs to ask for help?"

Then, seemingly worried about missing the chance to help, he spoke before Qian Qi could reply, "Out with it, what do you need help with?"

Finding it amusing internally, Qian Qi cleared her throat, "It’s not a big deal, just need to borrow your Yak Ice Tiger."

Thinking it required his personal assistance, Leng Yuntian was displeased to find out it was about using his Contracted Beast, he clicked his tongue and gave her a look before asking, "What for?"

"To make ice cream." Qian Qi turned and walked away, beckoning to Leng Yuntian with her back, "Quickly now."

Leng Yuntian’s face nearly turned green.

He, a dignified B-level Beast Master, had to use his contracted, extremely rare B-level Yak Ice Tiger, to make ice, cream, first thing in the morning?!

Yan Shuiyue looked at him with a hint of envy, "Why didn’t she ask my Ice Crystal Antelope for help?"

Her Ice Crystal Antelope, although a Spiritual Magical Beast, also had an Ice Attribute Skill, and it was A-level.

Leng Yuntian knew exactly why Qian Qi sought him out.

It was simply to make him repay the "help" she rendered yesterday by getting things moving for him!

After all, why else would she be so kind to help him yesterday? Clearly, she had a plan all along!

Biting his teeth, Leng Yuntian summoned his Yak Ice Tiger and followed Qian Qi.
