The Incredible Youth

"Can you give her to me?"

The White-clothed girl suddenly said this, and Qin Shaofeng's expression instantly turned ugly. Copy URL to visit.

He had originally thought she had come over to talk to him because she found Bai Xue adorable, but now it seemed that she wanted Bai Xue for herself!

Was that possible?

Not to mention that once the system confirmed a War Beast, Qin Shaofeng could no longer abandon it.

Even if he could abandon her, Qin Shaofeng would never give up Bai Xue.

Little Yue'er adored Bai Xue, and Qin Shaofeng himself liked her immensely as well.

Giving Bai Xue away was absolutely impossible.

That single sentence instantly shattered the White-clothed girl's image in Qin Shaofeng's heart. He even began to feel a trace of disgust toward her.

Did she really think that just because she was beautiful, she could get anything she wanted?

Seeing Qin Shaofeng remain silent, the White-clothed girl spoke again. "Don't worry, I won't take her for nothing. I can grant you one request. As long as it is something I can do, I will not refuse!"

What?

Lian Chenghao, whose attention had long been caught by their conversation, was startled upon hearing his junior sister say that.

He knew a little about this junior sister of his. Within his master's wife's Lineage, as the only daughter of its head, she was treated like a princess.

With her status and position, such a promise was probably something even the ruler of the Lianyang Kingdom would desperately desire.

Although he could be considered her senior brother, there was still quite a gap between them in both identity and standing.

This kid was really lucky!

Why didn't I have such a demon fox?

For a moment, Lian Chenghao actually felt somewhat envious of Qin Shaofeng.

Yet what Lian Chenghao never expected was that after hearing his junior sister's words, Qin Shaofeng rejected her without even thinking.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I will not give Bai Xue to you!"

As he spoke, a chill entered Qin Shaofeng's tone. He felt increasingly disgusted with this White-clothed girl, who looked like some fairy spirit descended into the mortal world.

Qin Shaofeng's firm refusal caused a trace of disappointment to flash through the White-clothed girl's eyes.

Seeing this, Lian Chenghao's heart ached. He hurriedly explained to Qin Shaofeng, "Qin Shaofeng, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. You don't know that my junior sister..."

"Senior Lian!"

Before Lian Chenghao could finish, Qin Shaofeng directly interrupted him.

"I know what you want to say." Qin Shaofeng spoke calmly. "You merely want to say how noble your junior sister's identity is, and how incomparably valuable a request promised by her would be. Actually, even without your saying so, I could already sense it from that giant eagle and its owner."

"However..."

His tone shifted. Qin Shaofeng stared directly at Lian Chenghao and said resolutely, "Although Bai Xue is only a demon fox, she is family to me. I will never hand my family over to someone else. And although Qin Shaofeng is not anyone remarkable, if I want something, I will obtain it through my own strength. Getting something for nothing is not my style!"

"Of course, if you intend to seize her by force now, then I have nothing to say. Who told me to be too weak?"

Silence!

Qin Shaofeng's words left Lian Chenghao rather surprised.

With his realm and experience, he could naturally distinguish truth from falsehood.

And precisely because of that, he was shocked.

Lian Chenghao had never imagined that a mere youth from some remote little city could say such things.

Was he ignorant? Yet every word he spoke was well-reasoned, and he clearly understood the situation.

That was not ignorance at all!

"Haha, Qin Shaofeng, you're not bad, kid!"

Suddenly, Lian Chenghao burst into laughter. For the first time, there was a trace of approval in his gaze as he looked at Qin Shaofeng.

Setting everything else aside, Qin Shaofeng's resolve alone was enough to make him see the youth in a different light.

Still, Qin Shaofeng's final sentence left Lian Chenghao somewhat speechless.

"Kid, don't worry. You're overthinking this nonsense about forcefully seizing something. With my junior sister's identity, why would she rob someone else?"

With a faint smile, Lian Chenghao glanced at the White-clothed girl and sighed inwardly. Junior sister, your Fifth Senior Brother can't help you either. Who told this kid to be such a blockhead?

He could throw away even a promise from the Little Princess of the Meng Family just like that. This sort of person truly was...

Truly one of a kind!

"I'm sorry!"

Just then, the White-clothed girl suddenly said something. Then, with an apologetic expression, she told Qin Shaofeng, "I'm sorry for making you misunderstand. I wasn't trying to forcibly take Bai Xue from you. I simply like her. Since you disagree, I won't force the matter. But can I be friends with her?"

Uh...

The White-clothed girl's sudden change left Qin Shaofeng completely baffled.

What was going on here?

Though he did not quite understand, out of courtesy, and considering his current situation, Qin Shaofeng ultimately nodded. "That should be fine, as long as Bai Xue doesn't object."

Although Qin Shaofeng seemed to have agreed, he had actually played a little trick.

Bai Xue agreeing?

Ever since the White-clothed girl made her request, Bai Xue had been baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at her, growling without pause.

Clearly, the little fellow was already angry.

Under such circumstances, was it possible for the little fellow to agree on her own?

Yet just as this thought arose in Qin Shaofeng's mind, the White-clothed girl smiled softly and said to him, "Thank you!"

The White-clothed girl did not seem to make any movement at all. Her lips merely moved, and then something happened that left Qin Shaofeng dumbfounded.

As though she had heard something the White-clothed girl said, Bai Xue stopped baring her fangs and waving her claws. She tilted her adorable little head slightly, looked at the White-clothed girl with a face full of confusion, and seemed to be pondering something.

In the end, Bai Xue gave a light leap and actually jumped into the White-clothed girl's arms.

This...

The sight before him left Qin Shaofeng bewildered.

Lian Chenghao merely smiled faintly and said somewhat smugly, "Confused, aren't you? Let me tell you the truth. My junior sister was born with the ability to communicate with demon beasts. So long as it is a demon beast, no matter how low-level it is, she can communicate with it."

What?

There was actually such an ability?

Qin Shaofeng was startled, but then he seemed to understand something.

Glancing at the White-clothed girl, Qin Shaofeng sneered inwardly.

Since force would not work, was she planning to use this ability to make Bai Xue follow her?

Without realizing it, Qin Shaofeng's impression of the White-clothed girl had already taken on a negative cast.

In his view, she was definitely using the pretense of becoming friends with Bai Xue to win Bai Xue over, with the ultimate intention of making her betray him, her master.

After all, even if a contract had been formed, if a War Beast was still young, once it was bewitched, betrayal could easily happen.

Yet Qin Shaofeng was not worried about that.

No matter how much you bewitch her, can you bewitch the system too?

From the flutter in his heart when they first met to the present situation...

The White-clothed girl's image in Qin Shaofeng's heart had undergone a complete overturn.

However, Qin Shaofeng did not show it. While they traveled, he no longer spoke with Lian Chenghao, instead pretending to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

But was the White-clothed girl truly the kind of person Qin Shaofeng believed her to be?

Three hours later, Little Gold stopped once again.

This time, they stopped not in some mountain forest or wilderness, nor in some remote little city, but in a prosperous great city five or six times larger than Lanjiang City.

This time, too, they did not stay long. After merely half an hour, Little Gold took off with them again.

However, there was now an additional brawny man on Little Gold's back.

Was he also an examinee?

Looking at the brawny man before him, who stood like a small tower, Qin Shaofeng felt doubtful.

But judging by his build, the other party was surely no longer young. Did he still meet Lianyang Academy's enrollment requirements?

Hadn't it been said that once someone was over eighteen, if their cultivation had not reached the Xiantian Realm, Lianyang Academy would never admit them?

The more Qin Shaofeng looked, the more puzzled he became. Unable to hold it in any longer, he asked, "Big brother, are you also a student of Lianyang Academy?"

No matter how he looked at him, the man did not seem like an examinee, so Qin Shaofeng guessed that he should be a student of Lianyang Academy.

Yet the moment Qin Shaofeng spoke, Lian Chenghao, who was seated in front of them, could not help bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, big brother?"

As though he had thought of something especially hilarious, Lian Chenghao laughed extravagantly. Even the White-clothed girl, who had been deeply absorbed in playing with Bai Xue, could not help glancing over.

The brawny man suddenly blushed. Looking at the laughing Lian Chenghao, he anxiously explained to Qin Shaofeng, "I'm not yet a student of Lianyang Academy. I'm also an examinee. And don't call me big brother. Um, I only turned fourteen a month ago!"

F... fourteen?

Qin Shaofeng was greatly shocked by this. His eyes immediately widened as he stared in disbelief at the young brawny man before him, who stood nearly two meters tall and possessed explosive muscles all over his body, looking like a fierce man of immense strength.

Yet such a fierce-looking man was only fourteen, a year younger than Qin Shaofeng himself!

What on earth had this kid eaten to grow like this?

Could it be that humans in this world possessed some giant-like bloodline, and this kid before him had inherited it?

Qin Shaofeng's heart was filled with alarm and uncertainty as he instinctively activated his Fiery Golden Eyes.

Person: Du Meng

Level: Houtian Tenth Layer Early Stage

Inner Qi: 1800/1800

Innate Spiritual Root: Earth

...

Houtian Tenth Layer Early Stage?

The information returned by Fiery Golden Eyes startled Qin Shaofeng. He had not expected this fourteen-year-old young brawny man to be a minor expert at the Houtian Tenth Layer Early Stage.

Even his Inner Qi was far greater than that of ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, someone at the Houtian Tenth Layer would have around 650 points of Inner Qi, yet this person possessed 1,800 points, nearly three times that of an ordinary person.

Clearly, the cultivation technique he practiced was no simple one!

Still, after seeing the other party's name, Qin Shaofeng was somewhat speechless.

Du Meng?

More like Du Fierce!

That kind of fierce physique was truly astonishing!

And this young brawny man, whose development was outrageous beyond belief...

Made Qin Shaofeng truly realize that this was not Earth!

However, Du Meng did not possess some giant bloodline as Qin Shaofeng had guessed.

Unlike the White-clothed girl, Du Meng got along quite well with Qin Shaofeng.

After chatting for a while, Qin Shaofeng learned that Du Meng could be considered a Named Disciple of Lian Chenghao, his senior brother. Since childhood, he had cultivated a powerful body-tempering technique, which was why he had developed such a physique.

This time, Du Meng was heading to Lianyang Academy in order to join it and become a Five-star student before turning fifteen.

Only then could he formally become a disciple under Lian Chenghao!
