Chapter 10, An Unexpected Encounter with Jiang Shaoxu
As his consciousness drifted away from Lao Hei, Xiao Yu rubbed his throbbing temples, his lips twitching involuntarily.
This beast is truly skilled and audacious, always choosing to infiltrate the dens of demons.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Yu continued his meditation.
……
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yu would let Lao Hei go out for a buffet every two days.
Over the past few days, Lao Hei's strength has indeed improved.
Now, it can even put up a fight against four or five orthodox warrior-level three-eyed demon wolves.
After breakfast, Xiao Yu saw that his summoning magic power was full, so he went to the city wall, preparing to quietly release Lao Hei as usual.
Just as Old Black's hind paw stepped out of the dimensional rift, a silvery voice came from not far away.
"Hey bro, your summoned beast seems pretty special~"
Xiao Yu was startled by the sudden sound, and the dimensional rift disappeared with a "whoosh".
Old Black was clearly frightened, and his mane stood on end.
Xiao Yu turned his head and was stunned.
The wind on the city wall ruffled the girl's hair; she stood just a few steps away.
Her eyebrows curved into crescent moons, and she smiled at Xiao Yu, her clear eyes shining like starlight.
There was also a perfectly placed beauty mark under the corner of her mouth.
Ber, who are you?
When did you get here?
Before Xiao Yu could speak, the girl walked up to him and said, "Hello, I'm here as a tourist. I've been observing you for a week now. Your summoned beast is really special; it can even grow bigger."
"???" Xiao Yu was full of questions.
Every time he let Lao Hei out, he would observe the surroundings and never find anyone.
Where did this woman come from?
And tourism?
Whose good-natured person came here on a trip to the border of Anjie?
The girl looked at Old Black, a faint spiritual ripple emanating from her eyes.
Visibly, the bristling mane on Old Black's body had once again pressed tightly against his skin.
"Psychic type?!" Xiao Yu was stunned. This woman was a psychic type.
"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet," the girl said with a smile. "My name is Jiang Shaoxu."
Jiang Shaoxu?!
Xiao Yu's mind went blank.
What's that fox doing here?
No wonder I didn't recognize him. There are still several years before the competition for the world's top universities. This foxy Jiang hasn't grown up yet.
It wasn't as... eye-catching as described in the original work.
Suppressing his shock, Xiao Yuqiang asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Shaoxu was amused by his guarded look. She lightly tapped her cheek with her fingertip, and the beauty mark on her cheek swayed slightly with her movement, adding a touch of cunning: "Don't be nervous. I posted a request to escort me to the wilderness. I happen to be short of people. I think your summoned beast is quite strong, so I'd like to ask you to come."
She paused, her gaze falling on Old Black, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes: "I just think your summoned beast is very interesting. Once it grows bigger, its combat power should be quite strong, and it can carry the banner of my squad."
Xiao Yu was stunned.
Is Jiang Fox going beyond Anjie?
They even assembled a hunter squad?
This girl comes from a powerful family, so why is she gathering a hunter team?
Could it be that……
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes.
It's highly likely that Jiang Shaoxu secretly slipped out of her home.
Then he picked up Old Black and threw it into the "self-service restaurant".
Jiang Shaoxu seemed to see through his thoughts and chuckled, "Don't worry about the commission; there will be plenty."
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't react, she moved closer to him, speaking in a slightly lower voice, like a girl next door, with a hint of allure: "If the request is successfully completed, I'll have an extra reward for you~"
Xiao Yu greedily inhaled the fragrance emanating from Jiang Shaoxu, his eyes wandering downwards.
Jiang Shaoxu wasn't disgusted by Xiao Yu's impolite behavior; instead, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Brother Yu, wanna come?"
If it were anyone else, they would have been completely lured away by Jiang Shaoxu's offensive.
But Xiao Yu knew very well that Jiang Shaoxu might have come here after discovering something in her brother Jiang Shaojun's notes.
Normally, Xiao Yu would go along, but things are different now.
These days, Bai Yang has been coming to see him more and more often, and there are more and more suspicious people hiding around him.
If Bai Yang wants to pull him into the Black Vatican, then that day isn't far off.
Therefore, Xiao Yu decisively refused: "Sorry, I'm not going. But if you want to ask me out, I'd be happy to."
Jiang Shaoxu frowned, puzzled to see that Xiao Yu remained unmoved.
That's impossible! We've even used the mind control technique, how come this person isn't reacting at all?
Not tempted by this?
And also... was I being teased?
interesting.
Jiang Shaoxu snorted coldly and turned to leave. The wind lifted her skirt, making her look like a graceful silver fox.
As Xiao Yu watched her retreating figure, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
If I'm not mistaken, there's a Shadow-type person watching from not far away!
The Black Vatican!
They are Bai Yang's subordinates!
As Xiao Yu was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He turned around abruptly and saw Bai Yang standing not far away, with a half-smile on his face.
"Who was that talking to you just now?" Bai Yang's voice carried a hint of scrutiny.
Xiao Yu's heart tightened.
Did he hear what Jiang Shaoxu said?
Xiao Yu quickly composed himself, revealing a look of lingering satisfaction: "I don't know, it was a female student from out of town, I just met her."
Bai Yang stared into Xiao Yu's eyes for a few seconds, as if trying to determine whether Xiao Yu was lying.
After a moment, Bai Yang withdrew his gaze, stepped forward, patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, and said in a meaningful tone: "If you want to become stronger, you have to hand in a 'homework' that satisfies me."
Xiao Yu looked puzzled, then stared at Jiang Shaoxu's retreating figure until it disappeared around the corner: "I understand, Instructor Bai Yang."
Bai Yang smiled with satisfaction, leaned closer to Xiao Yu, lowered his voice, and handed Xiao Yu a bottle: "This is the blood of beast refinement, something that can make your summoned beasts stronger."
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Instructor Bai Yang!"
"Hahaha! It's no big deal!" Bai Yang waved his hand and then left the city wall.
As soon as I got back to my lodgings, Bai Yang called: "Come with me on patrol in two days. I'll take you to finish your 'homework.'"
"Okay!" Xiao Yu nodded frantically upon hearing this.
Bai Yang has probably been completely fooled.
It was worth the two weeks I spent acting.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu had Xiao Bai create a mental illusion around the house.
Bai Yang wants to observe?
Go dream!
Afterwards, Xiao Yu called Teacher Tang Yue.
"Teacher Tang Yue."
When Tang Yue saw that it was Xiao Yu calling, the weariness on her face immediately vanished, and she asked with a touch of kindness, "Xiao Yu? What can I do for you?"
