A Beast Emperor Hidden in the Library? Has the System Gone Crazy Again?

"Lao Qin, want to go sing at Bai Jin Han tonight?"

After arriving at the cafeteria, the two got their favorite dishes and took a seat.

At the mention of Bai Jin Han, Xia He immediately lit up. "There are some sizzling young ladies there. You'll regret it if you don't go!"

"No."

Qin Yang shook his head, his eyes fixed solely on his Braised Pork.

As a man, he naturally knew what kind of place Bai Jin Han was.

However, he had always kept himself clean and never been swayed by female beauty. How could he...

Fine.

Qin Yang admitted that he simply could not afford a place like that.

With his measly monthly salary of three thousand yuan, would it even be enough for one night at Bai Jin Han?

As for having Xia He treat him? Not having to pay was certainly great.

After all, it was practically freeloading.

But he would definitely have to repay that favor, right? Qin Yang did not want to owe anyone over something like this.

If he really wanted to, he could support himself.

Without spending money, too!

"You bastard, are you even a man?"

Xia He had expected Qin Yang's refusal and had long since grown used to it.

After all, this was not the first time he had invited Qin Yang.

Yet this guy turned him down every time.

Coupled with Qin Yang's usual reactions toward some of the female staff at the library,

Xia He could not help wondering whether there was something wrong with Qin Yang's sexual orientation.

"I'm afraid of catching something."

Qin Yang put on the look of a righteous gentleman. "Take some advice from your brother. You should go to places like that less often."

"Here you go again..."

Xia He looked helpless. "Why are you more nagging than my parents? Fine, if you're not going, I'll go by myself."

"If I don't show up tomorrow, remember to keep an eye on Area 2 for me."

Qin Yang nodded. Area 1 and Area 2 were right next to each other.

Besides, there had not been many people at the library lately, so managing both areas at once would not be much trouble.

This was not the first time Qin Yang had helped Xia He with something like this.

After lunch, the two went behind the cafeteria, squatted by the entrance, smoked, and chatted.

"Lao Qin, have you heard? Recently, a Grandmaster from the capital will be coming to Jianghai City. Apparently, this expert came from our city."

"A Grandmaster?"

Qin Yang was somewhat surprised. The Grandmaster Realm stood above the Innate Realm.

People like that were usually Mysterious and Elusive.

His reading over this period had also helped Qin Yang make up for his lack of knowledge about martial arts in this world.

After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, one could cross through the void, and Protective Gale Energy would surround their body. Even cannons could not harm them.

Such strength had already surpassed the bounds of ordinary humans. They could be called terrestrial immortals.

Someone like that was actually coming to Jianghai City? "That's right. I heard this Grandmaster used to be a student at Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. This time, he's returning to his alma mater for a visit. To give back to the academy, he'll even give a public lecture."

"This is a martial arts lecture from a Grandmaster. Do you want to go?"

A look of reverence appeared on Xia He's face. In this world where the strong were respected, Grandmasters were undoubtedly figures admired by countless people.

"We're not from Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. Can we go watch too?"

Qin Yang was instantly tempted. He was currently stuck at the Half-Step to the Innate Realm.

With his aptitude, he had no idea when he would break through to the Innate Realm.

If he could listen to a Grandmaster's martial arts lecture, perhaps he could find an opportunity to break through to the Innate Realm.

"Don't worry about that. My dad has a good relationship with a director at Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. If you want to go, leave it to your brother."

Xia He confidently took it on himself. It seemed his family really had strong connections.

After work, Qin Yang did not head straight home. As usual, he found a secluded open area to practice his swordsmanship.

After memorizing all the Sword Moves of the Clear Wind Sword Technique, Qin Yang had spent a hefty five hundred yuan on an iron sword online to practice with.

After more than half a month of practice, supported by his Half-Step to the Innate Realm cultivation, Qin Yang had already gained a preliminary grasp of the sword technique.

The next day.

Qin Yang arrived at the library on time.

Xia He must have had too much fun last night. Sure enough, he had not come in.

This guy was going to die on a woman sooner or later!

Qin Yang bitterly cursed, then found a book to read as usual.

He had learned the Clear Wind Sword Technique. Next, he should find a movement technique to learn.

After all, being a swordsman was the dream, but movement techniques were what mattered when it came to escaping with his life.

If he could not win, at least he could run.

After carefully picking through the options, Qin Yang took a manual called Seven Stars Footwork from the shelf.

The name sounded quite impressive, but since it had been placed on the first floor of the library, it definitely was not anything high-grade.

Of course, there were cases of finding gold in a pile of trash.

But that was treatment reserved for novel protagonists. Qin Yang did not think he had that kind of luck.

Holding the Seven Stars Footwork manual, Qin Yang went to Area 2 to read.

Since he had promised Xia He, he naturally had to keep an eye on the area for him.

Just as Qin Yang became engrossed in Seven Stars Footwork, a strand of spider silk slowly descended from the library ceiling.

At the end of the silk hung a tiny purple spider, directly above Qin Yang.

A blood-red glint seemed to flash through the purple spider's tiny eyes as it stared at Qin Yang below.

No! More accurately, it was looking at the Seven Stars Footwork manual in Qin Yang's hands.

If someone had observed it closely at that moment, they would have been shocked to discover

that a trace of human-like intelligence flickered in the purple spider's blood-red eyes.

It stared at Qin Yang's manual as though it could truly understand it, a thoughtful look flashing through its eyes.

"Ding. Beast Emperor aura detected. Extreme danger!"

"Host, please flee immediately, or your life will be at risk!"

"Host, please flee immediately!"

Qin Yang had been completely focused on his book when the sudden voice in his mind nearly scared him to death.

"Damn!"

After coming to his senses, Qin Yang's face immediately darkened with anger.

People could really be scared to death, you know? Though the system was not human, it was truly a dog! Dog System! Still, despite his annoyance,

the long-silent system suddenly speaking up made Qin Yang take it seriously.

"Ding. A Beast Emperor has been detected. Host, please heed the advice and flee immediately. Otherwise, you will die without an intact corpse!"

Hearing the system urge him again, Qin Yang hurriedly set down the manual, stood up, and looked around.

At a glance, Qin Yang saw rows upon rows of bookshelves and a few scattered people who had come in to read.

They were all quietly reading.

Thinking of the cockroach he had once stomped into pulp, Qin Yang's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly lowered his head to search the floor.

Could the Beast Emperor the system mentioned be some kind of small animal again? If he stomped another one into pulp, would the system give him another generous reward? With that thought in mind, Qin Yang was instantly motivated and began searching the library.

However, the library floor was spotless. Qin Yang could not find even a single ant.

"A Beast Emperor?"

"How could there possibly be a Beast Emperor in this library?"

This Dog System had gone crazy again!
