"Regarding He Qingyuan, you voluntarily put your own Resource Box up as a wager and lost it to Ye Bai."
"I confirmed it with you repeatedly at the time, but you didn't take it seriously."
"Now that you have lost, according to the agreement, your Resource Box and the other wagers will be handed over to Ye Bai."
Zhang Lingxue stated decisively.
This move by the He Family had crossed Zhang Dashan's line as well. He would deal with the He Family severely and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
He Qingyuan had just been about to say something when his phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was a call from his father.
His hands trembled, but he did not dare refuse the call.
"He Qingyuan, get your ass back here right now."
"You actually stole my invitation to the Dragon Soaring Auction House and caused such a huge mess."
"See if I don't skin you alive."
A furious voice roared from the phone.
He Qingyuan looked as though his parents had died. He took the Resource Box out of his Pet Beast Space.
Without even glancing at the Boxing Rabbit, he staggered toward the school gates.
There was one more despondent person in the world.
This Boxing Rabbit appeared to have been abandoned by him on the spot.
Zhang Lingxue released the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Milky white light fell onto the Boxing Rabbit, and crackling sounds rang out all over its body.
Before long, it opened its eyes and woke up. It looked around but could not find He Qingyuan anywhere, and its mood sank.
At that moment, a flash of white light passed through the Boxing Rabbit's brow. He Qingyuan had taken out his anger on the Boxing Rabbit.
He had actually proposed dissolving the contract between himself and the Boxing Rabbit.
Though the Boxing Rabbit was somewhat downcast, the white light in its brow scattered into countless motes of light.
Both sides had reached an agreement and voluntarily dissolved the contract. Zhang Lingxue let out a long sigh.
After obtaining the Boxing Rabbit's consent, she stored it inside a Beast Card.
He Qingyuan had publicly abandoned his own pet beast. Whether intentional or not, he would be punished by the school.
This Boxing Rabbit would most likely be sent back to the Secret Realm to choose a new Pet Beast Master.
A Boxing Rabbit that had awakened the Berserk skill would never lack demand.
"Don't worry, Ye Bai. Your pet beast shop wasn't sealed. He Qingyuan was just trying to scare you."
"At the same time, our school guarantees that such a thing will never happen again."
"The school will protect your lawful rights and interests from infringement."
Zhang Lingxue hurriedly said. She was soothing Ye Bai, hoping to prevent the conflict from escalating and avoid triggering a social dispute.
Ye Bai looked deeply at his Homeroom Teacher, seemingly understanding something.
The He Family had probably been warned by Sacred Mountain Middle School. For the time being, they would not dare play any underhanded tricks.
He checked the time. It was nearly noon already. The Thousand Changes Silkworm looked utterly wilted, so hungry its chest was pressed to its back as it gazed at him with resentful eyes.
It wanted food, lots and lots of food.
"Thousand Changes Silkworm, wait a little longer. We'll be back at the pet beast shop to eat soon."
Ye Bai hurried to the Lottery Welfare Station and bought the only ten-yuan scratch ticket there.
After confirming that it had won, he silently left the Lottery Welfare Station and headed to the pet beast shop.
There were several white specks by the entrance to the pet beast shop, traces left behind when the seals had been torn off in haste.
This showed that the He Family had not been joking. They had truly intended to seal the pet beast shop.
A chill flashed through Ye Bai's eyes. Da Hui did not come to pull open the shutter and welcome him as it usually did upon hearing his footsteps.
Moreover, the pet beast shop was normally full of noisy sounds, yet today it was exceptionally quiet.
Could Da Hui and the others really have been taken away by the Street Management Office?
Or had they been frightened into hiding by the Street Management Office?
Ye Bai calmly used his key to unlock the pet beast shop's iron shutter.
The entrance was empty. The Thunder Pig that usually liked lying on the ground and grunting was gone. Even the Chameleon Lizard, which usually liked pretending to be invisible as though nothing was happening, was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Bai felt that something was terribly wrong. His brow throbbed wildly, as though something bad had happened.
He hurried to the backyard. There, the pet beasts of the shop had formed a circle, with Da Hui at its center.
Da Hui's body was thin and gaunt. Clumps of fur had fallen out, and what remained no longer held its former sheen.
The pet beasts all lowered their heads, silent tears falling from their eyes and gathering into tiny puddles.
The Lightning Cat they had taken in yesterday had already opened his eyes. He was licking Da Hui's fluffy cheek with his little tongue.
He meowed again and again, seemingly confused as to why Da Hui had fallen to the ground and would not get up.
It would not even open its eyes to look at him.
Da Hui lay motionless on the ground, its body stiff and its eyes closed.
Its fur had turned white, just like when Ye Bai had first encountered Da Hui.
It looked rather bedraggled now, unlike its former clean-loving self.
Its fur was a tangled mess. There was a bleeding wound on its forehead, and traces of dirt remained on its face.
Like an old, broken toy, it lay quietly on the ground, a warm smile still hanging at the corners of its mouth.
Step by step, Ye Bai walked over. He could not believe Da Hui had left just like this. He could not believe Da Hui would leave him without saying goodbye.
There was a small crack in the Sunflower's flowerpot. It seemed Da Hui had wanted to bid farewell to the Sunflower it had cared for the longest, but fainted and struck its head against the pot, creating the crack.
Together, the pet beasts turned Da Hui over.
Only then did Ye Bai realize how thin Da Hui was. Beneath its thick fur, it was little more than skin and bones.
Memories flickered through his eyes. Ye Bai quietly held Da Hui in his arms, wanting to accompany it through its final journey.
Suddenly, Ye Bai jerked his head up. A flash of delight appeared in his eyes. Da Hui still had a faint breath, so weak that it seemed it could stop at any moment.
Da Hui was still alive!
Da Hui could still be saved!
Ye Bai raised his head, his face filled with joy.
Right, the Life Spirit Seed, the Life Spirit Seed.
Ye Bai could no longer care about anything else. He released the Resource Box.
The perfectly square box took up quite a bit of room in the yard.
A Life Spirit Seed radiating emerald-green brilliance appeared in Ye Bai's hand.
It contained surging, boundless energy.
Yet after taking out the Life Spirit Seed, Ye Bai fell into confusion once more.
He simply had no idea how to use this legendary treasure.
Right, the Eye of Insight.
Usually incomparably calm, Ye Bai completely disregarded the risk that his eyes might go blind.
He forcibly opened the Eye of Insight, and his pupils instantly turned blood-red.
Before him, Da Hui was still shrouded in layer after layer of gray Mist.
Ye Bai felt a dazzling burst of light stab into his eyes.
Yet he still gritted his teeth and persevered, blood streaming from his eyes.
He could feel the Mist dispersing, while Da Hui's aura grew weaker and weaker.
Finally, at the moment he closed his eyes, he obtained the information he wanted.
