Starting With Contract Pets

Chapter 253: Untitled

“I just came back to do something.” Su Bai greeted Tang Long and Yu Lingyue before looking at sisters Li Xing and Li Hai. “Why are you guys here?”

He was also quite surprised that these two people were here.

It stood to reason that they should be in college.

“We’re here to withdraw our membership; are you not?” The two sisters widened their eyes at him.

They would see him every day nowadays but only on their mobile phones.

Su Bai was too dazzling, like a bright star in the sky, at present, be it in a video posted online of him killing an emperor monster like cutting vegetables or his unattainable status as Yulong Gymnasium’s chief disciple.

Now that he had suddenly appeared in front of them, it was really hard to believe.

Looking closely, they found that Su Bai was more handsome than the video they saw, but his aura was still peaceful, and he did not speak condescendingly to them. In fact, he did not change much from that year.

Both of them used to like him, but now they did not have any intentions, for they knew that they could not compare with Chen Ruoxue.

How could morning dew compete with the morning sun?

“Yes, I’m too busy to play competitions at the club, so I’ll simply retire and give up my position to others,” said Su Bai with a smile.

Hearing this, Tang Long could not help but laugh bitterly. “All ten of you are retiring.”

Prior to this, the others had also withdrawn from the club.

Su Bai spread his hands mainly because he did not want to be troubled.

“Can you just stay and leave behind your name? You can do nothing. How about we give you ten times the amount every year? The club needs you to support and recruit people.” Tang Long tried to persuade him.

Before, he could still ask him, but now he could only plead. The young man was no longer in his control.

“I don’t lack resources. If you want to save glory, how about I give you someone who can be selected as a disciple of Yulong Gymnasium? What do you think?” proposed Su Bai after thinking about it.

“This… Is that really okay?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Long could not help but suck in a cold breath. Su Bai was too generous.

Being a disciple of Yulong Gymnasium was highly sought after, but he had just given him one disciple so easily.

Both Li Xing and Li Hai had their mouths hanging open in shock. The students of their school were all crossing the single-plank bridge for a single disciple. With their strength, they had no chance at all.

Meanwhile, this precious opportunity was easily given away by Su Bai, making the two speechless for a while.

“Of course, it’s not difficult for me.” He shrugged.

“Then thank you so much. Thank you so much for supporting the club.” Tang Long bowed quickly.

“It’s a small thing. Just take it as my reciprocation to the club.” Su Bai shook his head.

This director had been pretty good to him at the beginning, so he did not care about such trivial matters.

“Then let’s have a meal together, a simple meal with no outsiders, just a few of us.” invited the director.

“Okay, then.” Su Bai thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

As the director went to make arrangements, he got up and walked out.

“We thought we would never have a chance to see you again.” Along the way, Li Xing smilingly struck up a conversation with him.

“Haha! We’re all friends. Of course, we’ll see each other every now and then.” He shrugged casually.

“But you’re now Yulong Gymnasium’s chief disciple. Your status is too high for us. You don’t know what our school is willing to do for a place inside.” Li Hai laughed bitterly.

“Haha! In fact, it is also very normal inside the gym. Although there are more resources, there are more people, too.” Su Bai laughed.

“Talk is easy, but there’s a chance to obtain a dragon pet inside. Even if it’s an ordinary sub-dragon, it’s still enviable.” Li Xing could not help but sigh.

“Do you want it? I can arrange for one or two people, but you must rely on yourself after you get in.” He looked at the two.

Their eyes lit up, but then they shook their heads again. “Forget it. We’re not strong enough, and it’s uncomfortable to squeeze in through the back door.”

“Alright, but if you need help, you can always come and find me.” Su Bai spread his hands and did not force the twin siblings.

They were right. Entering Yulong Gymnasium was not necessarily a good thing for them.

Geniuses were in abundance there, and the strength of the two could not even pass the test.

At the dinner table, they ate and drank wine.

“By the way, how is Ruoxue?” asked Instructor Yu Lingyue softly.

“She’s doing very well now and is competing for the chief disciple position in Fuyao Gymnasium and Imperial Dragon Academy.

“We’re ready to obtain our certificate during the New Year and will hold our wedding when we have time.” Su Bai smiled.

Upon hearing this, the others could not help but show bitter smiles. “You two really don’t lose to the other.”

Sure enough, they were both hidden dragons, who had soared to the highest of the heavens as soon as they left the abyss. Lowly creatures like themselves could only look up at them enviably.

“Remember to ask us to be bridesmaids at that time.” A charming smile appeared on Li Hai’s face.

“Haha, of course!” he said with a smile.

They chatted while drinking for three rounds.

“Recently, we’re going to explore a high-level monster wilderness and looking for a kind of Lava Fruit which grows in the crater, but it’s said to be surrounded by high-level monsters or even monarch Vulcan Butterflies, so it’s quite dangerous,” Li Xing took a sip of beer and complained.

“Yeah, but we have no choice but to go. Lava Fruit is very rare and is found only in the crater. I joined a temporary hunting team; I don’t know if they’re reliable.” Li Hai also sighed. As their level got higher and higher, their family could not afford to breed pets, so they needed to find them by themselves.

Tang Long and Yu Lingyue nodded incessantly upon hearing this. “Vulcan Butterflies are too violent and are indeed dangerous. Once they have fixed targets, they’ll hunt them down ceaselessly. I suggest changing the place; if you encounter a group of Vulcan Butterflies, you’ll be dead meat.”

“I’m just afraid of the Vulcan Butterflies, but it’s said that there are many Lava Fruits near where they reside. Sigh… We’re also very hesitant.” Li Xing shrugged.

“Su Bai, what do you think?” Li Hai looked at him, who was drinking silently, and asked.

He had been drinking silently without interrupting their conversation. Hearing Li Hai asking him for his opinion, he thought for a while and asked, “What grade of Lava Fruit do you want?”

“A low-level monarch. I want to help one of my fire pets, Fire Snack, break through. Do you know where else we can go?” Li Xing looked over.

“I don’t know, but I happen to have those things with me.” He shook his head and summoned five monarch Lava Fruits from his storage ring.

“I only have five low-level monarch fruits; I’ll give all of them to you.” He originally wanted to secretly give the fruits to the sisters at the end of the party, for he felt that it was not good to show such stuff in public.

However, since they were already asking him, he might as well take them out now.

These things were all used by him as rations for the dino, and he had hundreds of them in his hand; all of which were resources given by the gymnasium.

Several people looked at the five fiery-red fruits on the table and could not help but fall silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

Was this how Su Bai was like now? He could take out five such precious materials at will.

“I’ll buy them. It’s not easy for you to get such fruits.” Li Xing did not accept the Lava Fruits directly.

“The gym gave these to me. I didn’t spend any money on them. I have a few hundred, so you can just take these. I’m very happy to be able to help my friends. Maybe I’ll need your help in the future.” He smiled and shook his head.

“…Okay, then. If you need our help in the future, please feel free to come to us.” Li Xing took the five fruits and nodded profusely.

She felt like she was dreaming. She had just been worrying over this matter before obtaining the fruits in the next moment.

It really felt like a dream.

Only at this moment did they truly understand how terrifying these pinnacle gyms were, for them to be capable of giving monarch fruits by the hundreds.

It seemed like five were low-level, and the others were middle, and high-level ones.

Su Bai could actually surpass the other disciples to become the chief disciple, proving that his strength was probably more terrifying than what they had seen in videos.

After eating, Su Bai moved to head home.

“Come back to the club more often when you’re free.” They waved goodbye to him.

“Of course.” Su Bai waved his hand and left while standing on Planet Eye.

“I’m afraid that it’ll be difficult to see him in the future,” Tang Long said with emotion.

The others also nodded silently. While dining together, they realized that, although Su Bai actively tried to find a common topic, he was not particularly engaged in their conversation.

He had produced a handful of treasures which they were so desperate to obtain.

The Secret Realm they felt was extremely dangerous felt like a walk on the ground to Su Bai.

Even if he still treated them as friends, it was difficult to find a common topic.

After finishing the business here, Su Bai went to Blue Moon Cultivation House again. The door was closed tightly, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a year or two.

Sighing, he turned and walked toward Carp Town.

Cannes was a lot more dangerous now, with many space cracks here and there; the integration of the Blood Moon world increased the number of monsters in the wild areas, too.

In particular, blood monsters were the most commonly seen creatures, but they dared not get too close to Su Bai and would retreat from a distance when they encountered him.

“How many blood subordinates can you feel?” he asked.

“Roar~” Almost one in ten is of my blood~ replied the Little Blood Dragon after a while.

“That’s not bad. The density is quite high.” Su Bai nodded, ready to wait home to see his parents.

He soon reached Carp Town.

This time, he flew directly to Baiyue Manor, with no intentions of walking on the ground.

“Ah Bai, someone is hiding near the river southeast of your manor.”

Upon his arrival above Baiyue Manor, the ethereal mechanical sound of Planet Eye suddenly rang.

“Someone’s hiding here?” Taken aback, he pondered for a few seconds before speaking. “Hide and let’s take a look.”

He wanted to see who it was. A good person would definitely not sneak around.
