Chapter 58 - 48: The Pitiful and Miserable Bai Ruge and Four-winged Flying Snake
“Stay calm!”
Chen Fan picked up Gangzi directly: “This is a friend, not an enemy, no need to be nervous.’
Gangzi looked at Chen Fan and then at the Cold Ice White Python, scratching his head.
Fang Qingqing’s eyes widened.
It was already hard to imagine that Chen Fan had a Slime as a Guardian Beast.
How did he go out and bring back a Blue-eyed Badger as well?
The Blue-eyed Badger’s aggressive nature was not suitable for being a Guardian Beast, was it?
Chen Fan nodded at Fang Qingqing, swiped the sensor below the doorknob with his smart wristwatch, and entered the dormitory.
Fang Qingqing went in with the Cold Ice White Python too.
The Cold Ice White Python’s body was a bit big, and as soon as it entered the room, it made the room seem a bit crowded.
Chen Fan frowned, looked at the Cold Ice White Python, and pointed to the corner by the window, saying, “You squat there… no, coil up.”
The Cold Ice White Python glanced at Chen Fan, then turned its head away, looking like it couldn’t be bothered.
Fang Qingqing quickly communicated with the Cold Ice White Python, and it reluctantly crawled into the corner and coiled up.
Snowy crawled onto the bed and turned on the TV with the remote control.
Gangzi and Feicui also jumped up and lay in a row, staring at the TV.
Seeing this, the Cold Ice White Python crawled over as well.
“Meow! ”
Snowy pointed its small paw at the corner by the window.
Damn, taking advantage of the situation!
The Cold Ice White Python was so angry that it crawled back to the corner and coiled up again.
Chen Fan looked at Fang Qingqing: “Have all those materials been collected?”
Fang Qingqing smiled bitterly: “No… there’s a Xuanfrost Fruit that grows in glacial areas and is extremely rare. I’ve searched several Guardian Beast online shopping websites for a long time, but I couldn’t find it.”
“Only the Illusion Sea Pioneering Team told me that I could pre-order it, and it would take three days to get it.”
“Three days later, huh?” Chen Fan scratched his chin.
The higher the level of a Guardian Beast, the more troublesome it is to level up.
When the levels were low, it was all about common materials.
Once the level was higher, the preciousness of the required materials had obviously increased substantially.
Chen Fan frowned and said, “If it’s three days later, it’s going to be a tight schedule, and it might not be possible to raise its Combat Power Level to 6 before the Ring Match.”
Actually, he could get it done in just two or three days if he had all the materials.
But he had to put on an act.
Ugh, it’s tiring being an actor.
After complaining in his heart, he said again, “Why don’t you let the Goblin and Silvermoon Green Feather Bird come out? Maybe the materials that would help them level up can be collected more easily.”
“Hmph!”
The Cold Ice White Python couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed out of the corner, shaking its head at Chen Fan.
“Oh, oh, okay!”
Chen Fan nodded: “You just said a bunch of stuff… I didn’t understand a single word.”
Fang Qingqing was amused at once: “I told the Azure Dragon earlier that I would let you train it and help it improve its Combat Power Level.”
“Now that you’ve mentioned using Xiaobu or Silver Moon instead, of course it doesn’t like it.”
“Oh, so it has a big temper.” Chen Fan pointed to the corner: “Go to the corner and let me replace you with a Goblin.”
The Cold Ice White Python crawled back angrily.
Because it was angry, cold air emanated from its body, making the temperature in the room drop significantly.
Feicui shivered and burrowed under Gangzi’s belly.
Gangzi glared fiercely at the Cold Ice White Python in the corner, picked up the blanket, and covered Snowy and itself.
The three little guys stuck their heads out from under the blanket, watching the singing and dancing on the screen.
City Lord’s Mansion of East Sea City.
At the top of the high tower, City Lord Bai Tianyu stood with his battle saber on his back, quietly gazing into the distance.
Behind him, a row of armored men exuded an overwhelming aura that made people unable to look straight at them!
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind them.
Bai Ruze walked over, pouting: “Dad, today I listened to Elder Teacher’s words and met that Junior Uncle…”
“Tsk!” Bai Tianyu turned around, frowning: “Junior Uncle is Junior Uncle, why add a ‘small’ in front of it?”
Bai Ruge grumbled: “His age is similar to mine, and he might even be younger than me!”
Bai Tianyu said unhappily: “Even if he’s younger than you, he’s still your Junior
Uncle!”
Bai Ruge pursed her lips in grievance: “Where did that Junior Uncle come from, Dad? Why haven’t I heard you and Elder Teacher talk about him before?”
“Where did he come from… He came from the sky!” Bai Tianyu said solemnly:
“You want to dig up your Elder Teacher’s background too?”
Bai Ruge looked even more aggrieved: “I just don’t accept it… His age is similar to mine, he’s bossing me around, and in the end, he got me scolded by Elder Teacher, it’s infuriating!”
“He also said that I should feed the Four-winged Flying Snake Seven-star Grass…”
“Impudent!” Bai Tianyu’s face darkened: “Before you came back, your Elder
Teacher had already called me.”
“I thought you had reflected on your actions on the way!”
“I didn’t expect you to still be so unrepentant!”
“I…” Bai Ruge’s eyes welled up with tears as her father scolded her.
Bai Tianyu sighed: “I usually have many affairs, and I neglect to discipline you, but I never thought you would become so insolent!”
“Is your Junior Uncle someone you can casually point at?” “Are your Elder Teacher’s words something you can question at will?” “Get down there right now and do as your Elder Teacher said!”
“If you refuse to feed that Four-winged Flying Snake Seven-star Grass, let me do it myself!”
Bai Ruge lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
She truly couldn’t understand why her darling Elder Teacher and father would blame her without considering the whole story.
Wasn’t he just a clueless youngster?
Just because he was considered a junior uncle, did that mean he could do whatever he wanted?
Bai Ruge angrily turned around and stormed off.
Bai Tianyu looked at his daughter’s departing figure, wanted to say something but held back, and eventually shook his head with a furrowed brow.
This child, she had really been spoiled by him.
Bai Tianyu turned back around and looked into the distance with a worried frown on his face.
Other than that one time when East Sea City was attacked by the worm tide, these years had been as solid as an impregnable fortress.
Anytime a powerful monster attacked the city, East Sea City would quickly eradicate them.
But recently, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.
Was it because of the dark forces that Old Qin had mentioned?
Bai Tianyu didn’t understand, but those powerful people from Demon City hadn’t arrived yet.
Old Ding’s Guardian Beast was still injured.
The progress of mining the Star Stone vein in the 5th Secret Realm was quite slow as well.
Bai Tianyu felt enormous pressure and had trouble breathing.
The night sky was covered with dark clouds.
A storm was coming.
Bai Ruge returned to her residence.
Drying her tears, she asked two female servants to bring over several bundles of fresh Seven-star Grass, then summoned the Four-winged Flying Snake.
The Four-winged Flying Snake was also dumbfounded…
It looked at Bai Ruge and then at the Seven-star Grass.
It wanted to figure out what was going on—was its master really making it eat that stuff?
Eating that… it would rather die!
Bai Ruge said resentfully, “I don’t want to make you eat the Seven-star Grass either, but my Elder Teacher scolded me, and my dad scolded me too… If you don’t eat it, my dad will personally come and feed it to you.”
The Four-winged Flying Snake shuddered at the thought of Bai Tianyu’s methods.
Reluctantly, it approached the Seven-star Grass, adopting an air of “like a lofty hero who would never return”, and began to eat the grass in large bites.
Damn, this tastes awful…
This is going to kill me!
Damn that “Junior Uncle”, I never antagonized him. Why is he hurting me like this?
As the Four-winged Flying Snake ate the Seven-star Grass, it cursed Chen Fan in its heart.
Watching its painful expression, Bai Ruge’s tears started falling again.
Now look…
The Four-winged Flying Snake ate and cried at the same time.
Bai Ruge, on the other hand, watched and cried at the same time.
The two female servants standing nearby both had the urge to die… In this situation, should we cry with them or not?
If we cry, we don’t know the reason for crying.
If we don’t cry, won’t it seem a bit wrong?
The three of them watched as the Four-winged Flying Snake ate one bundle of Seven-star Grass after another until it was almost vomiting.
How much more of this crap do I have to eat?
It just couldn’t eat any more…
The Four-winged Flying Snake looked at Bai Ruge in agony.
Bai Ruge wiped away her tears and gestured at the two servants.
The two servants bowed and left.
Bai Ruge sat down on the side, her face expressionless.
The Four-winged Flying Snake, belly round and swollen, swam over, stood upright, and gently nudged her shoulder with its head.
Bai Ruge hugged the Four-winged Flying Snake, and her tears flowed again.
She had never felt so wronged in her life.
It felt as if the whole world had abandoned her…
She couldn’t find anyone else to talk to.
All of this was thanks to that bastard “Junior Uncle”!
Yet, both the Elder Teacher and her father stood on his side and disregarded her completely!
Bai Ruge angrily thought about it, mentally cursing and slicing Chen Fan over and over again in her mind.
Time slowly went by.
It was already late at night, but Bai Ruge couldn’t fall asleep.
Suddenly…
The Four-winged Flying Snake’s body shook violently, and it started rolling in pain on the ground!
“Damn it!”
Bai Ruge’s face turned pale: “So it really is causing problems from eating too much!”
“That dead Junior Uncle… If anything happens to Little Four-winged, I won’t forgive you!”
Bai Ruge panicked and activated her smart wristwatch, shouting, “Dad, something has happened to Little Four-winged! Please call a doctor quickly!”
On the ground, the Four-winged Flying Snake writhed in pain, hissing nonstop.
Its scales were rapidly falling off.
Starry light enveloped its entire body.
Bai Ruge didn’t notice that on the body of the Four-winged Flying Snake, another pair of wings was slowly sprouting!
