Chapter 213 -203 Ancient Misty Talks
Seeing that the girl inside wasn’t responding to him, Li Songhai became increasingly anxious.
“I really didn’t deceive you,” he struggled to muster a friendly smile, trying to seem a bit more congenial. “If you don’t believe me, I can swear an oath to you.”
Who even believes in swearing oaths these days… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, but said, “Go ahead and swear.”
Hearing her response, Li Songhai thought she might be softening and immediately brought his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger together, swearing upwards: “If I’m lying to you, may I remain a bachelor for my entire life!”
That was the oath he always swore, from his youth to the present, never changing.
Consequently, despite being a popular Beast Tamer, he remained single to this day, and it was unclear whether it was due to his own issues or because he’d made too many such dreadful oaths.
Upon hearing this oath, the corners of Qiao Sang’s lips twitched. After thinking it over, she deliberately said, “Seriously? You look so old and are still single? I thought you’d have kids as old as me by now.”
A statement as hurtful as a stab to the heart.
Li Songhai felt like he’d been shot through the heart, his already foul mood turning even worse.
Once he managed to suppress the irritation swelling inside him, Qiao Sang spoke again at that moment, “Uncle, I feel like you are deceiving me. Aren’t you really a Beast Tamer? Even though you’re not that much to look at, since when can’t a Beast Tamer find a partner?”
At her words, Li Songhai stood motionless for a long time.
Moments later, he took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit one up, and took a deep drag, holding it in for a long while before slowly exhaling.
Indeed, why was he, a glorified Beast Tamer, still without a partner at his age…
Could it really be because he wasn’t much to look at… Watching the smoke rise above his head, Li Songhai could no longer contain his emotions and kicked the door hard:
“You damn brat! I think your head’s been kicked by a donkey! You keep jabbering nonsense and acting so dim-witted! Open the damn door right now! Don’t push me over the edge, or you’ll see how I deal with you!”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Although she had said those things precisely to rile him up, the dialect that perfectly matched Sichuanese took Qiao Sang aback for a moment.
Nowadays, the Alliance uses a unified language, with most people speaking Mandarin. Even in foreign countries, from a young age, schools have compulsory courses on learning Mandarin.
In school, Qiao Sang also used Mandarin for communication with others.
It took her a moment to process the Sichuanese-sounding dialect she suddenly heard.
“Shuilu Yana.”
Hearing the scolding, Shuilu Yana revealed its head from the small puddle of water, looking with disgust toward the direction of the door.
Qiao Sang saw that Shuilu Yana did not hesitate to show its head in front of her, and her face lit up with joy.
What did this mean?
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
It meant that Shuilu Yana’s wariness toward her had significantly diminished!
Having someone to compare with sure was beneficial…
Clearing her throat, Qiao Sang addressed the monitor, “Uncle, cursing won’t help. Unless you summon your Pet Beast and show it to me, I won’t believe you’re a Beast Tamer.”
If, at this moment, Li Songhai wasn’t blinded by rage, he would have replied that the only creature he had a contract with was a water sniveler.
But unfortunately, he was set on proving that he was a Beast Tamer.
“Watch closely!”
Li Songhai flicked his hand, tossing aside the unfinished cigarette, and then brought his hands together to form seals.
Suddenly, a Pet Beast with orange and brown stripes, a body composed of two rocks, a single eye, four hands, and two feet appeared lying with its eyes closed within the green Star Array.
All of its hands were on the upper rock of its body, each hand having five claw-like “fingers” that were curved, resembling more the paws of beasts.
Qiao Sang narrowed her eyes as she watched the scene on the monitor, her mind racing with various thoughts.
This creature, sleeping at this hour, clearly had a regular schedule for its rest.
Green Star Array.
He is very likely a D-rank Beast Tamer; if he contracted a Pet Beast with every rank he advanced, then his Beast Taming Codex should contain three Pet Beasts.
But he is so adamantly chasing after Shuilu Yana, it’s highly likely he has left a blank page in his Beast Taming Codex for Shuilu Yana.
“Did you see that? As soon as you see, open the damn door for me!” Li Songhai dropped all pretenses.
“Lulu…”
Upon hearing this, Shuilu Yana felt it was time to find a new place to live.
It glanced at Qiao Sang and then at the little Treasure-seeking Ghost beside her, showing a moment of hesitation, but the next second its expression firmed up.
Just as Shuilu Yana was about to blend into the water and leave, Qiao Sang turned to look at it, pointed at the surveillance camera, and laughed, “Is this the type of person who forced you to come to the Yuhua Region?”
“Lulu?”
Shuilu Yana looked confused; it didn’t understand why Qiao Sang would say that, especially when the human outside looked so fierce.
However, at that moment, Li Songhai’s grinding voice came through the surveillance, “Why are you grabbing me? I haven’t done anything! I just had a Pet Beast run into this house and couldn’t summon it back, so I wanted to go in and look for it!”
Shuilu Yana, hearing the commotion from the surveillance, looked startled and raised its head to look.
But it was too short, and the placement of the surveillance was too high for it to see the screen clearly.
“Want to see? I’ll hold you,” Qiao Sang, realizing what it was trying to do, offered her hand and said.
“Lulu…”
Shuilu Yana hesitated for a moment but ultimately, driven by curiosity, it leaped straight into Qiao Sang’s arms.
Qiao Sang was ready, but still felt a thrill in her heart.
As a joke, this was the first time Shuilu Yana had been willing to be so close to her!
What did this mean? It meant she was one step closer to contracting Shuilu Yana!
Striving to suppress the corners of her upturned lips, Qiao Sang lifted Shuilu Yana up to the surveillance and mocked, “This guy isn’t very smart; he managed to sneak in here under the guise of a security guard, only to raise such a ruckus outside a resident’s door in the dead of night. He can’t possibly keep his job now.”
As soon as she saw the man outside was the same security guard they had met the day before yesterday, she didn’t hesitate and immediately phoned the property management.
Then, she provoked him a bit with her words, and the man blurted out in dialect.
Basic principle for security personnel: Decision-making in property management should be led by the tenants, prioritizing the tenants’ interests first, not seeing themselves as managers but rather as service personnel.
A service personnel causing a disturbance in the middle of the night and using such foul language is surely grounds for dismissal.
Qiao Sang thought this man wasn’t too bright.
If she were tracking Shuilu Yana for thousands of miles to this residential area, why would she want to be a security guard, with all the restrictions that come with the position, when she could simply be a homeowner or a tenant?
Shuilu Yana looked at the man in the surveillance footage being restrained, its expression one of shock.
Is this man really that weak?!
…
“Let me go!” Li Songhai wasn’t dumb; he knew that if the security personnel were able to arrive at this time, it must have been the young girl living in Apartment 1705 who had made the call.
The security’s quarters were some distance away; their prompt arrival implied the call was made well in advance.
Probably, she had dialed as soon as he began ringing the doorbell.
Anger surged in Li Songhai, feeling that he had fallen for the girl’s trick.
After all, he was a D-rank Beast Tamer and had been nourished by his Pet Beasts. With a surge of strength, he broke free from the restraint of the two security guards.
