Chapter 455: Chapter 455

After the Flame Dog completed its evolution, as the scorching temperature subsided, Er Ya returned with the Frozen Fireworks Grass.

Hundreds of B-level Flame Dogs simultaneously released fire, so the temperature was naturally not to be underestimated, which is why the remaining Fireworks Grass was instructed by Qian Qi to be taken away by Er Ya. Otherwise, the outer layer of B-level ice would melt, and the smoke spores would still spray out, causing harm.

Qian Qi picked up a piece of Frozen Fireworks Grass, weighed it in his hand, and then tossed it into his mouth, crunching it.

The other people surrounding him were dumbfounded at once, "Is this thing edible?"

No, what they meant was, can humans eat this thing?

Qian Qi didn’t say a word, just closed his mouth and swallowed the chewed Ice Fire Grass. Then he picked up another one and handed it to Su Ang beside him.

Everyone else immediately looked nervously at Su Ang, and the He Family Commander hurriedly shouted, "Commander Su, please be cautious!"

Su Ang took it and without a hint of hesitation, placed it into his mouth.

A cool, refreshing sensation flowed between his teeth, accompanied by the crushing of ice, followed by a few strands of sweetness like osmanthus honey water, spreading down his throat into his stomach, as if it could even sweeten the heart.

Who could have thought that the Fireworks Grass, which made people pale, would actually taste sweet?

Seeing Su Ang eat it, Qian Qi then said with a smile in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Many toxic plants contain their own antidote, which is also often seen in Magic Plants. For example, if you eat the Fireworks Grass in advance, then inhale the smoke spores, lung disease won’t be triggered."

Unfortunately, she had gone through the Magic Plant Research Institute’s records, and because Fireworks Grass was too dangerous and difficult to harvest, the previous century’s Magic Plant Research Institute only did experiments on curing after the disease had manifested, and halted the project due to the high casualty rate.

Therefore, no one knew the preventive method for resisting disease before it attacked.

Su Ang glanced at her softly.

He wasn’t surprised why Qian Qi only told him this because if Fireworks Grass could prevent disease, then it was very likely it would be exploited by people with ulterior motives.

In the presence were all people with authority, and a slight ill intention could result in disaster.

She thought he wouldn’t do such a thing, so she told him.

Feeling her special trust, the silver-haired young man’s lips curved slightly, whispering, "Mhm."

"Eat more." Qian Qi stuffed a few more into his hand, then gave a thumbs up, quietly praising, "Besides preventing disease, it can also enhance lung vitality, and guarantee your lung capacity to exceed 50,000 in the future!"

Fifty thousand... The silver-haired young man chewed on the icy candy, silently thinking it was unnecessary, as he probably wouldn’t need it.

"So...," Dean Xi Mingde approached, rubbing his little hands, "Little Qian, could you leave me some evolution materials for the Flame Dog? I want to..."

"This..." Qian Qi showed a difficult expression, "Dean, you know..."

"Ah, I understand, I understand." Xi Mingde laughed heartily, showing a knowing expression, "I’ll pay for it!"

"... What I mean is, once you take the Frozen Fireworks Grass back, it will melt." Qian Qi said earnestly, "So you’d better have Leng Yuntian freeze it every half hour."

Cold Yuntian, who was suddenly mentioned: ???

Why is it always me! I am not your ice machine!!!

"As for payment... since the dean asked, I naturally would be happy to oblige!" Qian Qi, not knowing from where, took out a calculator, calculating rapidly while saying quickly; "There are still many evolution materials left, you can take them back for the other Beast Taming Department students, the students will definitely be grateful to the dean. By then, who wouldn’t see the dean as the light of the Beast Taming Department?!"

Xi Mingde glanced at the amount she calculated, feeling a bit of financial pain, "Can’t it be a little cheaper..."

"Don’t fuss~ I understand!" Qian Qi held up an index finger in front of Dean Xi’s mouth, looking serious and sincere, "Just think, if you’re generous this time, at least the next three hundred generations of Beast Taming Department students will see your name in history books, regret not being born three hundred years earlier to be your student! Even the Beast Taming Association would bow to your benevolence, all Beast Masters would sing high praises of your grand gesture. Even if in the future you pass away, your reputation would resound throughout the Central State, leaving a heartfelt mark in the river of history!"

She then took out two contracts from who knows where, spreading them out and swiftly placed a pen into Xi Mingde’s hand, "Nowadays, only you within the Five Major Colleges at Awakening University can achieve such an accomplishment! When you return to the college, even Principal Zheng will have to bow his head to you, don’t you want to stand tall among the other deans—"

Xi Mingde, coaxed by her, was momentarily overwhelmed, his small hand lightly signed below that substantial fee, "Mhm... Little Qian, you’re right, ahem, I mean, we’re not after those empty reputations, but the other students of the Beast Taming Department do need these evolution materials, so, I’ll buy them all!"

Uncle Sun and Uncle Li exchanged glances, finding it both amusing and exasperating.

This girl, her smooth-talking skills are as seamless as ever.

The system looked on and shook its panel: [Your flattery is too unoriginal, when you were persuading the principal back then, you used the same tactic.]

Qian Qi wiggled her little pinkie, her face mystically profound, "No, no, you just don’t understand."

The system puzzled: [Oh?]

Qian Qi: "Let me ask you a question, if you have a boyfriend, and one day you find that all your clothes have already been worn in front of him, even worn out, what does that suggest?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The system: [Is there even a need to ask? Of course, it means you should order some new clothes!]

Qian Qi hummed deeply, feigning depth, "Wrong, this is a reminder that it’s time to change boyfriends."

I understand, so the idea is to change the boyfriend and then all the clothes become new wears again!

So you’ve only got those few flattery tactics, and after persuading one person, you start persuading new ones, right!

Qian Qi sent a winking smile, "As expected of the System Lord! Understanding things so quickly!"

The Flame Dog completed its B-level evolution, marking the completion of the first task of this instance training.

"Next, we’ll split ways; students will follow me to the Sealed City, and the army will head towards Song City." Qian Qi instructed.

The second training instance was the Ice Glacier Dungeon, which she had hidden earlier, where the Contracted Beasts were friendly to humans. It was prepared for the Beast Taming Department students, so naturally, she didn’t want other armies to share in it.

The Family Army was quite happy to have one less task, though two armies seemed rather unwilling, clearly instructed by their Family Heads that missing one instance meant they would miss a lot of valuable information.

Unfortunately, here Qian Qi was the one who called the shots; where she said they should go, they would have to go.

Nobody asked much after the Red Beam Temple instance was raided that night, though someone offhandedly asked a question, nobody cared who cleared the instance.

After all, the rewards given by this instance were too trivial, they didn’t want them. Whoever killed the instance boss spared them the effort.

As soon as Qian Qi stepped out of the instance, she saw Sikong Lin waiting outside.

"Uncle Sikong? What are you doing here?" Qian Qi asked in surprise, looked around nearby, not seeing Sikong Wang, and then asked, "Weren’t you out training Wangwang the Devil? Why are you alone? Did something happen to him?"

"Ahem, no." Sikong Lin coughed softly, looking somewhat embarrassed and uneasy, "It’s , I have a small matter on my side, and I wanted to ask you to come by."

"What is it? You need to say it so I can weigh it." Qian Qi pointed to the students emerging behind her, "Look, I have quite a bit of business here, busy with stuff."

Seeing all the students’ eyes following Qian Qi land on him, Sikong Lin, the big commander, uncharacteristically appeared a bit nervous and quietly guilty, after all, the reason he was looking for Qian Qi this time was for family matters.

"What is it?" Probably knowing it’s somewhat shameful, Sikong Lin raised his hand to lightly cover his mouth, whispering, "My wife has been unwilling to see me ever since recovering from her illness, and I’m just too anxious to see her."

"Uncle, that’s not fair, I saved your wife out of kindness, and you’re feeding me fresh, hot dog food right out of the can?"
