17: I want to be a salted fish
On
the spacious playground, five or six thousand teachers and students were
fervently discussing the phrase "Heart to heart, shared destiny, and
synchronized breathing."
Walking
on the playground, Song Yu occasionally received hot gazes from classmates.
Occasionally, many people would approach Song Yu, loudly expressing gratitude
and thanks.
Compared
to the fans she met on the red carpet in her previous life in the entertainment
industry, the current enthusiasm was a bit more intense, making Song Yu's scalp
numb.
If
she didn't know she had transmigrated, her heartbeat would probably be racing
right now, worrying about the police coming to investigate.
After
all, this really looked like a live teaching session of a large-scale MLM
organization.
"To
be honest, everyone told me before that we should treat contracted beasts as
companions... but I never understood why everyone said that until now, and I
just followed suit." A girl with a shy face ran out from the crowd, took a
box of chocolates from her backpack, and handed it to Song Yu, saying
seriously, "But after hearing your words just now, I suddenly realized. I
feel that in the future, whether I can become a professional Beast Master or
not, the contracted beast will be my best friend, companion, and family...
Thank you so much!"
"...You're
welcome. I just expressed my thoughts." Song Yu's throat was dry, and she
forced a smile.
Looking
at the groups of high school seniors on the playground who were led astray by
her, Song Yu felt extremely flustered.
Song
Yu was at a loss...
She
didn't expect that she just wanted to play a little trick on her younger
brother, but it inexplicably developed into this?
To
avoid others noticing her flustered and anxious state, Song Yu took a deep
breath and tried to show the confidence and calmness she had on the red carpet
in her previous life. She gritted her teeth and quickly left the fire-type Beast
area, secretly cheering herself on.
Song
Yu encouraged herself: Song Yu, don't panic, it's okay. Think about the anime
you watched in your previous life! What youth manga doesn't emphasize bonds?
From children's anime about pets and people to anime that must talk about bonds
between tennis and people, aren't they all like this?
Song
Yu boosted her confidence: "Destined Beast Master" is just a novel,
what's the difference between a novel and an anime? Aren't they both
entertainment products? Maybe everyone can develop new skills for contracted
beasts with the power of bonds!
However...
Just
as Song Yu was about to convince herself.
Out
of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a senior high school student next to
her retracting the earth-type energy stones he had intended to give to his
contracted beast. He was trying to reason with the contracted beast, but in the
end, the contracted beast impatiently slapped him to the ground, nose bleeding,
leaving a long streak on the ground.
Song
Yu's footsteps paused: "..."
Expressionless,
Song Yu lowered her head, covered her cheeks with her long hair, and hurriedly
walked past, pretending she had never appeared.
In
her heart, Song Yu's inner little person knelt down and cried bitterly, leaving
behind long, wide noodle-like tears: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't make
up a story anymore! I'm sorry, everyone! I just wanted to trick my brother,
sob~ but I really didn't expect you to believe it!
What
was once a joyful trip to the exotic animal zoo for the day suddenly became not
so happy.
In
an instant, Song Yu felt like the old witch who tricked Snow White into eating
a poisoned apple and felt guilty.
Fortunately,
she was currently lacking talent and had no spirit fruits or honey. Today,
there should be no contracted beasts willing to contract with her, achieving
her ultimate goal.
Even
though Jianghuai City No. 1 High School was a key high school in the province,
there were still about 5% of high school seniors each year who couldn't
contract an initial Beast even by graduation. Song Yu aimed to be one of them.
In
the high school team of more than five thousand people, it was normal to have
one more small waste like her, right?
In
her heart, Song Yu silently bowed and apologized to the classmates who had been
misled by her, apologizing three times in a row. This time, she didn't dare to
wander around casually.
She
looked up at the path map on the playground signboard and immediately chose the
outermost area in the northwest corner of the playground.
On
the day when initial Beasts were distributed, in any high school, they were
generally divided based on their attributes and potential values.
The
closer to the center of the playground, the higher the potential value and the
purer the bloodline of the Beasts. The lower-rated Beast cubs would be confined
to the northwest corner of the outermost part of the playground. All the Beasts
in this area had potential values rated at 10 or below.
Although
there were various attributes and types, without exception, the cubs here
either had lower bloodline levels or physical defects.
For
example— if one of the Beast parents was at level 1, and the other was level 0,
in such a case, even if the cub grew up, there was a high probability it
couldn't break through level 0 and become level 1. For students who aspired to
become professional Beast Masters, this was unacceptable. There were also cases
where the parents had higher bloodline levels, but the cub was born with
congenital deformities, and they would also be placed in the northwest corner.
Therefore,
in this event that had just started for less than two hours, while many high
school seniors were still focused on other high-potential rated Beasts, there
were almost no students in the northwest corner.
The
short green lawn was the original appearance of the playground, with a
rudimentary sunshade above and scattered small bushes with fruit underneath the
lawn, serving as toys and snacks for the Beast cubs.
There
were also many prepared items such as food bowls, making it not too shabby.
But
compared to the luxurious versions of the Wood-type and Fire-type Beast cub
contract areas from before, this place probably resembled the backyard of an
ordinary pet shop on Earth.
Song
Yu stood in place and glanced roughly around. There were about three to five
hundred cubs in this area.
But
in front of so many Beast cubs, there were only a dozen or so students, and the
atmosphere was quite desolate.
Song
Yu blinked her eyelashes twice.
After
counting, one, two, three, four... twenty-five...
Wow!
As
an educational bureau staff member responsible for management, the number of
teachers from No. 1 High School actually exceeded the number of students!
Compared
to the previously exaggerated and enthusiastic atmosphere around the Bloodfang
Pig cubs, where students were even willing to give up the college entrance exam
to fight...
Here,
it was as quiet as an Arctic glacier, with occasional grunts and howls from the
Beast cubs, and the sound of their paws running.
"It's
so quiet; it's perfect for someone like me who wants to take it easy!"
Song
Yu's eyes lit up. With so many Beast cubs, even though some of them looked a
bit strange and didn't quite fit her aesthetic, everything was cute when it was
young, right? Even a small snake with its tiny round head, wasn't it cute?
Looking
at a large tree not far from the northwest corner, where she could take shade,
Song Yu was even more satisfied!
"I
have chocolate cookies and bottled water in my bag. I can sit here and eat all
day!" Feeling relaxed all of a sudden, Song Yu was delighted, and her legs
unconsciously moved towards the shade of the big tree.
But
before she took a few steps, the voices of two girls next to her made Song Yu
stop and curiously look over.
"Hey!
Xiao Mei, look at these Snow Civet Cats; they
are so beautiful!"
"Why
don't we contract with them? Although their potential rating is not high, they
look really beautiful, and they seem to like us too." The long-haired girl
happily pointed to several small white cats in front of her.
"Uh...
Lulu, maybe we should check out other areas first..."
The
short-haired girl next to her pursed her lips, frowned, and organized her
words, "Look at this announcement. The father of this litter of Snow Civet
Cats is level 1 low-grade, and the mother is level 0. The possibility of them
becoming level 1 Beasts in the future is very low, at most not exceeding 50%.
Plus, both of us have awakened F-level Beast Spaces. They probably won't be
able to advance to level 1 Beasts in their lifetime."
The
short-haired girl sighed, "Although they look beautiful, beauty doesn't
feed us. For the college entrance exam, we have to consider the strength of the
contracted beast."
"Uh..."
The
long-haired girl frowned, thought for a moment, and with slightly lowered eyes,
said, "But we only have an F-level Beast Space. Will there really be other
beasts with higher bloodline potential willing to contract with us?"
"In
previous years, there were also awakened individuals with F-level Beast Spaces,
contracting Beasts with potential scores of fifty or sixty... In any case, we
have to try first. Even if it doesn't work out, we can come back in three
hours!" The short-haired girl tugged at the long-haired girl and gritted
her teeth, "Think about it. Every year during the college entrance exam,
besides professional Beast Masters, many university majors also require the
contracted beast's strength level... If we contract with them now, there will
be no hope later!"
Thinking
of the college entrance exam, where everyone took the same cultural exam, and she
had higher scores than others but still lost because of the contracted beast,
it was really hard to accept.
Persuaded
by her companion, the long-haired girl sighed and stood up, following her
friend to leave the northwest corner.
Several
students nearby who overheard the girls' conversation silently stood up one by
one, sighed, shook their heads, and left the northwest corner.
Looking
at the five or six students who left, the educational bureau staff and No. 1
High School teachers had no particular reaction.
This
kind of thing happened every year on the day of initial Beast distribution.
Some people were lucky enough to contract high-potential Beasts, while others,
after missing the low-potential Beast they had previously ignored, couldn't
find any other Beasts willing to contract with them.
Song
Yu felt a bit depressed in her heart, sighing for the crazy environment of this
world and feeling a bit sorry for those Snow Civet Cat cubs. Couldn't she see
that they were still tilting their furry little heads, blinking their round cat
eyes, looking confused?
The
Snow Civet Cat cubs were very cute, with long white fur, resembling the
appearance of a lion cat. However, their ears were long like a small fox. Their
fur was pure white, and their golden eyes were lively and beautiful. At the
moment, they tilted their heads, looking dazed and confused, even forgetting to
wag their tails. Except for one that was particularly small in size, the others
were all plump and exceptionally soft and cute.
Thinking
about the fish-shaped cookies the girl from the adjacent desk gave her, and
considering the iron stomach in this world where Beasts could eat anything,
Song Yu opened the fish-shaped cookies. Maintaining a safe distance of three to
four meters, she comfortingly tossed some towards the Snow Civet Cats.
After
throwing them, she immediately turned around, her movements smooth and without
any delay.
As
someone determined to execute the strategy of not initiating, not accepting,
and not contracting—being a laid-back person.
She
couldn't let any of the little kittens fall for her.
As
expected, one of the kittens was hit on the head by the fish-flavored cookie.
The
seven small Snow Civet Cats were a bit bewildered. Smelling the aroma, they
collectively raised their heads and looked towards the sky, their fluffy little
faces full of astonishment! It was almost like they wanted to write on their
faces—"Oh my gosh~! There are fish-shaped cookies falling from the sky for
cats!"
Song
Yu walked away and looked back. Touching her chin, she smirked, keeping her
talents hidden.
Indeed,
the basic skills she developed during the filming of the sports-themed
"Discus Girl" were not in vain; her throwing skills were still
excellent!
Seeing
that the kittens were now attracted by the fish-shaped cookies, Song Yu
continued to walk towards the tree with a smiling face.
However,
she never expected!
Even
though she hadn't reached the tree, she got—bamboozled!
And
it was bamboozled by the smallest one among the group of kittens!
The
Snow Civet Cat, which was just inside the boundary circle, was now using its
four short legs to climb up Song Yu's pants. The whole cat lay on her shoe, wagging
its tiny tail and looking exceptionally excited.
Song
Yu was dumbfounded: "..."
No,
I gave you fish-shaped cookies, why are you repaying kindness with enmity?
I
ran so fast, how did you catch up?
Am
I the kind of person who wants to contract Beasts? I am not!
"I
know you can understand, don't follow me. Hurry back and play with your
brothers and sisters..."
Unable
to show a fierce expression to such a small kitten, Song Yu sneakily observed
her surroundings for a moment. Seeing that nobody was paying attention to her,
she quickly grabbed the Snow Civet Cat cub by the back of its neck, tearing it
off her pants.
Oh...
As
a high school student still relying on pocket money from home, she didn't have
the capacity to raise such a gold-swallowing beast.
Even
if it was a Beast with a low potential score, she never thought of contracting
it.
However,
this little fluffy Snow Civet Cat cub seemed to have decided on her. Shaking
its ears, it meowed and rubbed against her palm.
"So
moved! Is this the most beautiful interaction between humans and Beasts?"
Homeroom teacher Zhou Tao stretched his neck, wiped his misted glasses, reached
out to pat Song Yu's shoulder, and said emotionally, "Although this Snow Civet
Cat has a low level, it seems to really like you."
Song
Yu's face was stiff: "..."
Song
Yu silently turned her head, looking at the homeroom teacher who suddenly
appeared from somewhere, and felt completely dumbfounded.
No,
where on earth did you pop out from?!
I
really don't plan on contracting Beasts, hey!
Song
Yu was caught off guard by the homeroom teacher, and her head was spinning.
However...
The
Snow Civet Cat that bamboozled her blinked its big eyes, purred comfortably in
its throat, wagged its little tail happily, and continued purring.
Hey!
This
human is indeed exactly like what it saw in the future scenes before—completely
different from other humans!
As
a Snow Civet Cat, it knew from birth that it was different from its parents and
siblings.
Different
from other Snow Civet Cats of the same kind who could only use low-level mental
attacks, it possessed a special ability from a young age—it could see fragments
of its own future by making close contact with others.
It
had experimented with base caregivers many times.
As
long as it made contact with a caregiver, it could know in advance what it
would eat for a day or even several days.
These
fragments told it who could be approached, who should be kept away from, and
who was deceptive.
But
these future fragments also told it that the future could be changed!
Three
days ago, it was taken out of the Beast breeding base by someone, along with
many other Snow Civet Cat cubs.
It
and its siblings were kept in a cage, and eventually, they arrived at this
place...
The
little Snow Civet Cat shook its tail, and its pair of golden cat eyes were
round and bright.
In
the past three days, it had made contact with at least seventy to eighty
people.
Some
were professional Beast Masters, some were teachers, and some were students.
However, every time it made contact with them, the future scenes it saw were
not happy.
Some
of these people would keep it in the Beast Space for a long time, not letting
it out for decades...
Some
despised its low potential, cultivated it for several years without reaching
level 1, and eventually gave up, leaving it to fend for itself...
And
a few, upon discovering its ability, were ecstatic and treated it as a tool to
make money...
It
didn't like any of these scenarios.
And
just now, those two human females.
Similarly,
one thought it had low potential, cried bitterly for not getting into a good
university, and eventually left it in the Beast Space to fate.
The
other, after discovering its precognition ability, was eager to make money,
knowing the content of exams in advance.
However...
Only
the fish-shaped cookie that fell on its head allowed it to see a future where a
girl with long, black, seaweed-like hair stuffed it with fish-shaped cookies
while calling it "master" or "your highness."
The
little cat blushed~
Growing
up, it was the first time it heard someone call it "cat master."
It
had only heard that humans treated themselves as masters in front of contracted
beasts.
Never
thought that there were humans willing to make Beasts their masters.
The
cat didn't understand; the cat was shocked~
The
cat thought this was a good opportunity!
As
a Snow Civet Cat with the ability to see the future, even with a low bloodline
level.
Currently,
the highest level of the same kind globally is only 3rd tier...
But
this doesn't stop the little Snow Civet Cat from having dreams and aspirations!
So,
it chased out from the boundary area. Just after the recent contact with this
human, several additional future scenes appeared in its mind, confirming the
uniqueness of the other person...
In
the scenes—
The
other person, with a smiling face, held a phone, taking pictures while saying,
"Come! master Cat, let's take a photo together."
At
the same time, she would stuff fish-shaped cookies into its bowl, advising with
a pained expression, "Your Majesty, you're really working hard. Training
so hard at the age of three. I feel sorry for you. How about I put on an
animated film for you?"
The
little Snow Civet Cat blushed, its ears slightly hot, and its tail shaking.
Although
this human looked weak, but... but... it liked this kind of life!
Song
Yu didn't know that this thin and messy white fur kitten in her hands actually
had such a special ability. In her eyes, it was just a kitten with low
potential, golden eyes, somewhat like a mix of a white lion cat and a little
white fox. After all, the one with the highest potential must be the main
character's contracted beast. Those with slightly lower potential were the high
potential Beasts selected by experts. Wherever the main character is, how could
others have a chance?
"Song
student, are you planning to choose this Snow Civet Cat?" Zhou Tao took a
few steps forward, subconsciously asking as he observed the little Snow Civet
Cat.
"..."
Song Yu was a bit embarrassed and didn't answer immediately.
...Although
the potential score of this little Snow Civet Cat was very low, most likely it
would never advance to become a 1st tier Beast in its lifetime.
But
from the beginning, she noticed the eyes of this cat, surprisingly identical to
Bai Yuhan, the male lead!
Golden
eyes—a color that made people feel uneasy!
Song
Yu's eyelids twitched, and she felt that she couldn't just watch her dream
shatter.
So,
her eyes rolled, thinking of performing on the spot for Homeroom Teacher Zhou
Tao—an expression package of crying and claiming she didn't deserve it.
But
before she could speak, Zhou Tao spoke first.
Zhou
Tao sighed, "During the pep rally in the classroom earlier, you were lying
on the desk all the time, looking listless. I thought you were like those
third-year students who lost their dreams, and the time ahead would become
blurry."
Zhou
Tao looked at Song Yu with satisfaction, "But I didn't expect that just
now on the playground, you could say such a shocking statement—people and
contracted beasts should be heart-to-heart, sharing destiny. Well said."
"Now
you've found this one that likes you, and you've chosen the Beast that
resonates with you... Teacher thinks it's very good, very good indeed."
Zhou
Tao smiled, "You didn't take anything out, but this little fellow has
chosen you and run out of the boundary area. It shows that it really likes you.
As long as you treat it well in the future, I believe you two will become close
companions!"
Song
Yu was shocked: "???"
Song
Yu's head was big: "..."
...Help!
She
was being countered with her own words. Even though she was good at talking, at
this moment, she opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute.
Song
Yu couldn't sit still, watching Homeroom Teacher Zhou Tao use her words to
corner her.
Even
though she knew that the potential score of this Snow Civet Cat was low, and it
probably couldn't advance to a 1st tier Beast.
But
she still had a feeling that things were about to get out of control.
...It's
so tiring. This kind of life that always spirals out of control is really too
exhausting. Maybe she should just break the jar and act spoiled, saying she
didn't want to contract?
However,
before Song Yu could speak—
Zhou
Tao quieted down first, frowning seriously as he looked at Song Yu and said,
"Song student, I forgot about your family situation before, but now that I
think about it from a teacher's perspective... I might still have to advise you
to think it through before deciding whether to really contract with this Snow Civet
Cat cub."
Song
Yu blinked: "...Huh?"
Zhou
Tao continued seriously, "Although Snow Civet Cats look good, the current
highest level globally is only a 3rd tier low-level. It's a low-level Beast
whose growth is limited from the genetic aspect."
Song
Yu was surprised: "...Huh?"
There's
such a way of saying it? Considering that her grandpa's insect-type Beasts are
all 4th tier!
Zhou
Tao said seriously, "If you were an ordinary child from an ordinary
family, able to contract a starting Beast with a potential score of 3, I think
even if you couldn't become a professional Beast Master in the future, being
together with the Snow Civet Cat would still make you a happy family member. It
would be very fulfilling..."
Zhou
Tao continued seriously, "But you were born into a family of professional
Beast Masters. This Snow Civet Cat cub, with a potential score so low that even
when it grows up, it will probably only be slightly better than an ordinary
pet, might not only fail to satisfy your parents but also disappoint your
grandpa."
Speaking
of which, if he remembered correctly, several children from the Song family had
studied at Jianghuai High School.
Among
the five children who had already graduated from high school, three had entered
university for Beast Master studies. The other two, although attending regular
universities, had Beasts with potential scores of around forty to fifty when
they contracted.
Zhou
Tao's gaze carried a hint of sympathy. Growing up in such an environment, with
elder brothers and sisters as benchmarks, the pressure must be immense.
Parents
dissatisfied? Grandpa disappointed?
Song
Yu was shocked: "!!!!"
There's
such a good thing?! Does that mean she won't have to make excuses to act
spoiled in the future?
Because
she can just be spoiled directly! How great!
Song
Yu lowered her head to look at the Snow Civet Cat in her hands, carefully
observing. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Not
bad, not bad! Very good!
The
small size indicates weak physical strength, unable to compete for food with
other kittens in the same litter.
The
messy fur and a bit of dirt on the belly indicate a probably not-so-good living
condition.
The
big cat doesn't like to groom it, indicating it's not welcome among the big
cats. This is the instinctive natural selection of animal genetics.
Excited,
Song Yu wiped away the imaginary drool from the corner of her mouth and said
with enthusiasm, "Teacher Zhou, you don't need to persuade me! I said
before that I want to find a contracted beast that can share wealth and adversity
with me!"
Song
Yu said solemnly, "I don't care about the potential score of the
contracted beast, but I hope we can trust and cherish each other, even if death
can't separate us!"
This
time, Zhou Tao hesitated.
He
felt a bit awkward, but following the principle of a homeroom teacher
considering the students, Zhou Tao still advised seriously, "The cubs of
two 3rd-tier Snow Civet Cats generally have potential scores around fifty or
sixty. The cubs of two 1st-tier Snow Civet Cats, even with the lowest potential
score, would still be around 15... The potential scores of this litter of Snow Civet
Cats are only 7 to 3, indicating that the probability of them becoming 1st-tier
Beasts is very, very low."
"Among
Beasts with potential scores below 10, only about 5% can break through from
0-tier to 1st-tier."
"So,
even though your family has professional Beast Masters who can buy some good
spirit fruits and elixirs... with the potential scores of these Snow Civet Cats,
no matter how many spirit fruits and elixirs they eat, it's probably difficult
for them to break through the barrier from 0-tier to 1st-tier."
Zhou
Tao looked deeply at Song Yu and sighed, "Snow Civet Cats look beautiful.
There was once a 7th-tier Master Beast Master who liked Snow Civet Cats very
much. She spent a huge amount of money buying various genius treasures, hoping
to cultivate her Snow Civet Cat cub with a potential score of 9 into a
4th-tier... But she ended up spending billions, sought help from many Beast
research experts, and only broke through to the 1st tier..."
Zhou
Tao's words essentially had two meanings: Snow Civet Cats with low potential
scores, even a 7th-tier Master can't handle them. It's better for you to give
up early.
But
what Zhou Tao didn't know was...
The
more he downplayed it, the more excited Song Yu became.
Song
Yu was moved and refused Zhou Tao, "Teacher Zhou, I am determined to stick
to my decision. I want to contract with it!"
Zhou
Tao: "..."
Song
Yu: "Teacher Zhou, I believe it is special! Even if it can't break through
to the 1st tier in the future, it will still be my best companion!"
Zhou
Tao: "..."
Alright,
it's all white persuasion.
"Meow~"
Yes,
yes, it is special~
Hearing
that this human wants to contract with it, the little Snow Civet Cat made a
joyful meow. It can distinguish its uniqueness among so many Snow Civet Cats,
appreciate its goodness, and even treats it as its master.
Where
else to find such a contracted beast?!
So...
At
this moment.
Apart
from Zhou Tao being somewhat dissatisfied, both Song Yu and the little Snow Civet
Cat were very satisfied.
However.
Just
after contracting with the Beast partner and preparing to leave through the
northwest gate, Bai Yuhan, who had awakened the Dragon Clan bloodline, was
surprised. Even his steps paused.
...Just
ahead, not far away, the data of a Snow Civet Cat cub was exceptionally
peculiar.
【Name: ???】
【Species: Snow Civet Cat】
【Attributes: Spiritual, Psychic】
【Battle Power: 0】
【Potential Level: 0-tier to 9th-tier】
【Current Level: 0-tier】
【Description: Mutant Snow Civet Cat, able to
contact others through itself, predict future events related to itself, but
currently unable to control this ability. It can only predict scenes related to
itself. The future may become 9th-tier, or it may never break through from
0-tier.】
Although
the battle power is 0, and there is a possibility of not breaking through from
0-tier, the phrase "able to predict the future" in the description
truly left Bai Yuhan surprised and speechless. There are many types of Beasts
in this world, with basic categories like gold, wood, water, fire, etc. Some Beasts
have various abilities, such as gravity, invisibility, all classified under the
Psychic category.
However,
among these Psychic abilities, having the power of foreseeing the future in the
time-space category is definitely one of the most powerful psychic abilities!
As
the saying goes, knowing things three days in advance, riches and honor for
countless years.
Even
though this Snow Civet Cat can't independently predict the future of others,
and it currently can't control this ability, as long as someone contracts with
it, they can know what will happen to themselves through the Snow Civet Cat as
a medium.
After
all, the contractor and the contracted beast are almost always together for 24
hours.
Unexpectedly,
there is such a Beast cub hidden in the low-level area of the northwest...
If
he hadn't already contracted with the Ironclad Explosive Dragon Lizard, which
has the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, perhaps he would consider contracting
with the Snow Civet Cat in front of him.
"...",
Bai Yuhan took a deep breath, and with a complex expression, he looked at Song
Yu, who was pinching the fur on the back of the Snow Civet Cat cub.
...Although
the awakening level of the Beast Space is low, and a new personality has split
due to the shock, this new personality is not bad.
After
three encounters with Song Yu today, Bai Yuhan has confirmed that the current
Song Yu is not the same as before, at least not mentally. Although the other
party is trying to hide it, careful observation and the Eye of the Rule still
reveal significant differences.
However...
"Since
it can predict the future through contact with others... This Snow Civet Cat is
very likely to discover the abnormality in my eyes." Bai Yuhan frowned,
feeling alert. His entire aura became cold.
Having
witnessed countless scenes of people going crazy for these eyes from childhood
to adulthood, Bai Yuhan's frown deepened as he became more and more cautious.
The
boy had handsome features that were firm and beautiful, with deep and distinct
black-and-white eyes. He was wearing a loose-fitting white school uniform,
which, due to his tall stature and straight posture, made him look like a
towering pine on a cliff. He appeared calm and self-possessed on the
playground, standing out from the crowd, attracting the attention of others and
instinctively catching Song Yu's peripheral vision.
Song
Yu turned her head to the side: "..."
Oh
no! In such a large playground, with so many students, why did she encounter
Bai Yuhan again?
There
are around five to six thousand people on this playground! There are also more
than six thousand Beasts!
Even
in her previous life, when she was in college, if it weren't for unified
lectures, she sometimes couldn't even see whether her dormitory roommate was
good or not!
And
why was he staring at her so intently?!
This
is terrifying!
Their
gazes met, neither spoke, and even the air seemed to become silent at this
moment.
Everything
around seemed to have turned into a background.
Even
the incessant chattering of homeroom teacher Zhou Tao by her ear became
background noise automatically filtered out by Song Yu.
One
second, two seconds, three seconds...
Song
Yu's face stiffened, and her gaze gradually became listless and scattered.
No,
she couldn't go on like this.
If
she continued like this, something would go wrong sooner or later with the
constant tension.
#What
should someone do if they make a mistake?#
#Apologize
sincerely!#
In
times of uncertainty about how to handle a situation, this is probably a
universally good approach.
So...
She
silently raised her head, raised it again, and raised it again. The corners of
her mouth kept lifting.
Song
Yu displayed her acting skills as the leading actress of Sweetheart Baby,
showing Bai Yuhan a brilliant, eight-toothed, friendly smile.
"..."
Bai Yuhan frowned, his wariness rising from 100 to 150 in his mind.
There
must be a reason for this. There must be something sinister.
Could
this woman have discovered something?
The
wariness rose again, rapidly breaking through 200!
Bai
Yuhan was on high alert, his eyes fixed on Song Yu, emitting a cold aura. He
took a step back, moving away!
Swoosh!—
The
boy, carrying his backpack, didn't turn his head and walked to the other side
of the playground.
Song
Yu: "???"
Song
Yu was astonished: "!!!!"
No,
Big Brother?! Do you have to dislike me so much?!?!
Watching
Bai Yuhan's figure disappear into the crowd, Song Yu looked up at the sky,
almost crying out two bubbles of snot.
Oh
no, is she going to die earlier than the original body?
She
specifically contracted with a low-scoring 0-tier Beast, how could this happen?
