Chapter 79: Nice To Meet You

Time passed slowly, and it was almost evening when two men came to Phoenix Mountain.

After wandering around the mountain and confirming that no one was following them, they quietly went into the underground cave.

Su Bai and the others made no movements. After a while, Gao An’s expression changed, and he said, “Algae, let’s go down and arrest those people.”

They quickly entered the underground cave and saw the two men, who had just entered it, in the process of catalyzing the Blood Skull. They were preparing to extract forcibly the soul stones of those young girls.

Su Bai and the others exposed themselves immediately. The Algae burst forth with the terrifying coercion of a monarch pet and forced everyone to be on their knees. Their faces immediately turned desperate upon seeing the monarch pet.

“Self-explosion!”

Suddenly, two Blood Flame Snakes exploded, with two batches of blood light, right on the heels of the Algae monster.

“You want to use a silly blood curse on me?” asked Gao An disdainfully. “Algae, use Soul Seal!”

An invisible spiritual power suddenly wafted over, forming a special seal, isolating the two groups of blood curses.

Inside the transparent ball of light, the two groups of blood-red liquid trashed wildly as if they were alive.

“This blood curse is extremely terrifying; it’s the most disgusting part of a blood pet. If this were a curse formed by the death of a commander or a monarch monster, even the Algae would find it difficult to deal with.” Duan Munan saw the youth’s dazed expression and explained.

“Thank you!”

Su Bai nodded in thanks. He had finally witnessed the disgusting effect of the blood curse. The blood pets had obviously self-exploded, yet their curse still hit the Algae monster just because the latter had released its pressure and caused a slight attack on both.

Fortunately, he had seen it today, or the battle would really be troublesome in the future.

“Don’t worry too much. Generally, professional Pet Tamers carry several seals specially set up by the alliance to counter the blood curse, and you can buy a few spares for use.”

Duan Munan was more than delighted to make friends with Elder Gao’s disciple, especially since he could obtain rewards from the boy’s discovery of this stronghold.

“Algae, use Traceless Dream!”

After sealing all the blood pets, the old man gave that order in a deep voice.

“Elder, what’s the matter? Are these two not the bosses?” asked Duan Munan.

Su Bai also looked at his master and frowned, his face still quite solemn.

“These two are indeed small bosses. This place was dug out under their command, but their only purpose here is to collect blood soul stones.

“I don’t know who spread the news that an organization under the Twelve Dragon Slayers will be holding an underground auction, where a lot of treasures can be bought, so people like these ones here have begun gathering blood soul stones.”

The old man spoke gravely.

The couple also understood the horror of this matter. For those treasures, they were afraid that more and more strongholds would be built.

Unfortunately, there was no other choice. Crime was inevitable in human society. In the pugilist world, people’s evil desires were more likely to be amplified.

Nothing could be eliminated cleanly, just like light and darkness. Where there was light, there was darkness.

“Could it be that the Twelve Dragon Slayers organization is planning to make some big moves? Judging by how many blood soul stones they’re collecting, the movement is likely big.

“Can we try sneaking in a spy? Let’s find the location of the underground auction and catch them all in one fell swoop.”

Duan Munan thought about it and proposed this.

“We’ll discuss this matter later when we return. Let’s rescue these people first and destroy this den,” said the elderly president.

“Algae, save everyone,” he ordered. His pet then formed clones to rescue the young girls.

The chap reached out to call his golden two-star contract book. When the pages of the book turned, a Golden Tabby Cat appeared on the ground with a pocket on its stomach, exuding the aura of a warlord.

“Golden Tabby Cat, pack up these people and those psychic bones,” ordered Duan Munan.

“Meow~ ( ̄へ ̄)”

The cat looked up in disdain at its owner, then it reached out its paw.

The young man covered his face. “I shouldn’t have let you out. Eat first, then get to work.”

He threw a bag of dried fish to the pet before smiling awkwardly. “It’s a storage pet that I’ve just contracted, but it’s a little disobedient.”

“Meow?”

Upon hearing that, the Golden Tabby Cat turned its head again and stared at him. Did he think that it did not understand him?

“Haha! Eat it all and get to work quickly. I’ll feed you with fish once your work is done.”

Duan Munan quickly laughed awkwardly.

Su Bai and the others: “…”

How humble was this officer in front of his pet?

The Golden Tabby Cat finished a small dried fish and put the rest in its pocket.

It then opened its mouth and spat transparent bubbles. The bubbles expanded in the air and enveloped everything, including the psychic bones.

“Meow!”

The cat blew gently. The transparent bubbles shrank to the size of a thumb before flying into its pocket which resembled a kangaroo’s pouch.

“Okay, come back.” Duan Munan opened his contract book for it to return. This pet of his had caused him to lose face.

Su Bai originally wanted some psychic bones, but at the thought that his master would definitely give him ones with better quality, he decided to just visit the latter’s house later.

After the Golden Tabby Cat confiscated all the materials inside this cave, the Algae monster rescued the teenagers.

“Oaky, let’s destroy this cave.” Gao An told his pet after all of them exited the underground cave.

“Roar!”

His pet turned into a Burrowing Dragon and summoned an earthquake. The entire underground cave was soon buried, and the back of Phoenix Mountain also sank into a large pit.

“Su Bai, do you want us to send you off or do you want to go back by yourself? We have to handle matters at the town and will directly take these teenagers and criminals to the city. This matter will be kept secret for the time being as it’ll only alert the criminals if it’s publicized.”

Gao An glanced at his disciple.

“We’ll ride the scooter back, master as it’s parked at the foot of this mountain. We have to ride it today, or else it might be gone tomorrow.”

Su Bai had gained a lot of new knowledge. Not only was his worry about the remaining materials for the Purgatory Tyrant egg’s incubation eliminated, he was also bound to receive a lot of rewards from the Spirit Alliance.

“Okay, then. Be careful; remember to come work for me on weekends.”

Gao An instructed before he jumped onto the back of his Algae, which had turned into a giant bird again.

“May we meet again!” Duan Munan stood on the back of the giant bird and waved to the youth.

“Goodbye!”

Su Bai nodded.

“Let’s go, too; it’s getting dark.” He took Chen Rouxue’s hand again.

It was gradually getting darker as the last sunset glow was leaving fast.

“Did you become the old president’s disciple when you took the junior trainer exam?” asked his girlfriend.

“Yes, it was at that time, but I didn’t wanna publicize it, so I kept it a secret,” he replied with a smile.

“Okay, then.” The girl nodded, then she exclaimed, “Today was really thrilling! It seems like the world is much more complicated than we thought.”

“Yeah, it’s more than just complicated.” Su Bai sighed. “Still, we won’t have to worry about that kind of thing for now. Our mission is to become stronger as soon as possible so that we can get in touch with the truest side of this world.”

“Hiss!”

Suddenly, a snake slipped past the grass in front. The cub and Xiao Bai chased after it.

Shocked, Chen Rouxue reacted a second later. “Ah… I’m scared of snakes. Can you carry me?”

Su Bai: “…” Could she act more naturally?

“Since when were you afraid of snakes and insects?”

“That’s from when we were fighting. Now that I’m your girlfriend, I’m afraid of them. Carry me,” urged Chen Rouxue.

He squatted and lifted the girl on his back, carrying her light 90 pounds body easily.

The girl lay on her boyfriend’s back and hugged his warm neck. The cold wind of early spring seemed to disappear with his warmth, and his refreshing fragrance faintly wafted.

“I’m so glad to have met you.”

In the quiet, spring breeze, under the beautiful sunset, Chen Rouxue whispered this softly in Su Bai’s ear.

Perhaps the two have known each other for too long, but they were not shy despite just getting into a relationship.

The boy’s heart warmed, and his ears itched along with his heart. He suddenly realized that it was nice to have such a person beside him on the way forward, and even it seemed that nothing was so difficult anymore.

“I feel the same; I’m so glad to have met you,” he murmured.

” Howl! (✪ω✪)”

“Hehe! (*^▽^*)”

Purple Jade ran back and forth, circling around them. Xiao Bai also made faces from above them.

“Okay, you can put me down now,” said Chen Rouxue when they reached the road.

“No, I’ll carry you down.” Su Bai refused. Her weight was not a problem at all, and carrying his girlfriend was actually an unusually happy thing.

“Okay, then.”

The girl did not resist and lay comfortably on the youth’s back. The two chatted quietly, enjoying the tranquility at dusk.

“Howl!”

At the foot of the mountain, the cub, which was the first to reach the scooter, squatted in front of it. It wanted to sit on the scooter fast.

When Chen Rouxue got off her boyfriend’s back, her pet quickly rushed into her embrace.

“Let’s go,” she said as she hugged Big Demon onto the scooter.

“Rouxue, what do you wanna eat tonight?” asked Su Bai while he rode the scooter back.

“Anything. Just nothing too oily.”

“Then let’s eat liangpi (noodle-like dish),” he proposed after some thought.

Soon, the couple arrived in town. Su Bai stopped at the restaurant they often ate at and said, “You can go and order first; I want one portion of liangpi. I have to do something, but I’ll be back soon.”

Nodding, Chen Rouxue hugged her pet and walked into the restaurant with the bunch of flowers given by her boyfriend.

“Howl?”

The cub jumped into its owner’s arms, not understanding what he wanted to do.

“Hey, let’s go buy a small flower pot.”

Su Bai caressed its cute ears.

“Howl!”

The cub nodded and licked his fingers as if to say that it understood him.

“Let’s take this, and add more rot soil, moonlight soil, marsh mud powder… I’ll take one of each.”

Su Bai held a five-centimeter-high blue and white porcelain flower pot.

“Howl~”

Purple Jade lay on a seed rack close by and looked around curiously. Each of the seeds here had been exquisitely carved out by hand.

“Those over there are alien flower seedlings. It’s said that each planted flower has a different effect, with some even able to let pets gain profound understanding. Would you like to buy one?”

The shopkeeper saw how curious the cub was and generously shared this information with a smile.

“Gain profound understanding? Then, shouldn’t people have snatched everything already?” Su Bai rolled his eyes.

“It’s only a rumor, after all, but these flowers do have varying effects and are also particularly beautiful. Be it their beauty or medicinal properties, all are very useful. The most difficult thing is that a seedling is difficult to raise, and in fact I have yet to succeed in making a seed sprout even now. The wood attribute doesn’t seem to have any effect on those alien flower seedlings,” elaborated the storekeeper.

Glancing at the alien flower seeds, Su Bai saw one that had the ability to restore spiritual power.

“Howl!”

The cub looked at Su Bai and pointed to a purple seed, indicating that it wanted that.

“Okay, I’ll buy one for you, but you’ll have to plant it yourself.” He nodded. The cub was a super wood attribute pet indeed and had chosen a seed for restoration of its spiritual power.

As for the cultivation of such an alien flower seedling, it was not that difficult unlike what the storekeeper had said. He had seen relevant cultivation materials from his master before.

“That one is called Purple Screen. It’s a beautiful flower that is priced at 3,000 yuan,” the storekeeper said.

“So expensive? Forget it; it’s my gift to you, buddy.”

Su Bai was too lazy to bargain and directly purchased it for the cub. He also bought flower pots and some cultivation soil.

“Why did you buy flower pots? Are you growing flowers?” asked Chen Rouxue back in the restaurant.

“Give me your thorn flowers,” said Su Bai, instead.

The girl handed the bouquet to him curiously.

He put the flowers into one flower pot and then poured in a layer of snow-white stones as well as half a cup of water. “Buddy, let their roots grow.”

“Howl!╰(* ́)`*)╯”

The cub mobilized its spiritual power onto the thorns, and in a short while, green leaves grew on the flower branches.

“There you go.” The youth put the flower pot in front of his girlfriend. “These are thorn flowers that I’ve cultivated with a special method. They’ll bloom for about a month and will bloom again three days after they wilt. They bloom in a repetitive cycle.”

“Thank you!” Chen Rouxue happily accepted this special gift.

After dinner, the boy sent her back to the street outside her house and then returned home on her scooter.

“Be careful and remember to pick me up tomorrow morning.” She waved.

“Don’t worry.” Su Bai nodded. He originally wanted to walk back, but his girlfriend had insisted that he rode her scooter home.

“Brother, you’re back.” Su Yue stood up from the sofa and grinned at him. “You’re really amazing. I saw the announcement that you’re now our town team’s captain. You always win every contest you join!”

“Haha! It’s nothing.” Su Bai smiled and sat down on the sofa with the cub. He chatted with his younger brother and father, while the cub ran back to the room and played games on its tablet.

It set a new record on Piano Tiles, then began playing another game.

“The manor’s foundation has been dug already, and the spiritual field has been planned. The next step is to begin constructing everything.”

His father said, “I built a platform by the crack in the center of the reservoir. There’s also a pump to siphon water with highly concentrated spiritual power from the crack.

“For now, your mother and I are preparing to plant some spiritual plants, which aren’t too difficult to grow. As for those plants with high market demands, we’ll sell them to places like the cultivation houses next time.

“Some edible rare spirits will be grown in the water.”

“Don’t worry about growing spiritual plants; I’ll ask my teacher and master about that. They may have some special methods for planting spiritual plants, and we can harvest those for them.”

Su Bai said after thinking about it.

Although it had only been half a month, in this pugilist world, they had managed to build the large manor and establish the basic foundations with the help of various monsters.

The youth had not been there for two weeks, and judging from the photos his parents showed him, the Construct Reservoir and the surrounding area seemed to have changed drastically. Several mountains had been leveled directly, and some unique hills had been artificially set up, too. The place now closely resembled a large-scale manor.

Su Bai was very concerned about this manor, for it was their family’s first property.

“Okay, then.” Father Su nodded. They had only managed to build this manor because of their elder son, and if his son were not too young presently, he would have assigned the manor to him.

“I agree with big bro. When I obtain my pharmacist certificate, I’ll also cultivate some spiritual plants and manage the research pharmacy.”

Su Yue said enthusiastically. Unlike his older brother, though he also yearned for pets, he still preferred researching potions and growing all sorts of weird spiritual plants.
