Chapter 038: The Unbelievable Young Man
"Can you give her to me?"
The white-clothed girl suddenly said this, and Qin Shaofeng's expression instantly turned ugly.
He had originally thought she came over to talk to him because she found Snowy cute, but now it seemed she wanted to get her hands on Snowy!
Was that even possible?
Putting aside the fact that the War Beast, once confirmed by the System, could no longer be abandoned by Qin Shaofeng.
Even if he could abandon her, Qin Shaofeng would never give up Snowy.
Not only did Little Yue'er adore Snowy, but Qin Shaofeng himself also liked her immensely.
Giving Snowy away was absolutely impossible.
This one sentence from the white-clothed girl instantly caused her image in Qin Shaofeng's heart to plummet. He even felt a trace of disgust towards her.
Did she really think she could get anything just because she was beautiful?
Seeing Qin Shaofeng remain silent, the white-clothed girl spoke again, "Don't worry, I won't take her for free. I can grant you one request. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse!"
What?
Lian Chenghao, who had already been drawn to their conversation, was startled by his junior sister's words.
He knew his junior sister quite well. In their master's wife's family, his junior sister, as the only daughter of the family head, was practically a princess.
Given her status and position, such a promise would likely be something even the ruler of the Lianyang Kingdom would eagerly desire.
Although he was considered her senior brother, there was still a significant gap in their status and position.
This kid is truly lucky!
Why don't I have a demon fox like that?
For a moment, Lian Chenghao felt a pang of envy towards Qin Shaofeng.
But what Lian Chenghao never expected was that Qin Shaofeng, after hearing his junior sister's words, refused without a second thought.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I won't give Snowy to you!"
As he said this, Qin Shaofeng's tone carried a hint of coldness. In his heart, his dislike for this white-clothed girl, who seemed like an elf or a fairy, grew.
Qin Shaofeng's firm refusal caused a flicker of disappointment in the white-clothed girl's eyes.
Seeing this, Lian Chenghao's heart ached. He quickly explained to Qin Shaofeng, "Qin Shaofeng, don't rush to refuse. You don't know, my junior sister..."
"Senior Lian!"
Lian Chenghao's words were interrupted by Qin Shaofeng before he could finish.
"I know what you're going to say!" Qin Shaofeng said calmly. "You're probably going to tell me about your junior sister's noble status and how precious her promise is. You don't even need to say it; I could already sense it from the situation with the giant eagle and its owner earlier."
"But..."
His tone shifted, and Qin Shaofeng looked directly at Lian Chenghao, stating firmly, "Although Snowy is just a demon fox, she is like family to me. I would never hand over my family. And while Qin Shaofeng may not be anyone special, if I want something, I will obtain it through my own strength. I don't believe in getting things without effort!"
"Of course, if you intend to forcefully take her now, then I have nothing to say. It's because I'm too weak!"
Silence.
Qin Shaofeng's words left Lian Chenghao somewhat astonished.
With his cultivation and experience, he could naturally discern truth from falsehood.
But it was precisely because of this that he was so surprised.
Lian Chenghao could never have imagined that a young man from a remote small town could utter such words.
If you called him ignorant, his words were logical and clearly explained the situation.
This was not ignorance!
"Haha, Qin Shaofeng, you're quite something!"
Suddenly, Lian Chenghao burst into laughter as he looked at Qin Shaofeng. For the first time, his gaze towards Qin Shaofeng carried a hint of approval.
Setting aside everything else, Qin Shaofeng's resolve alone was enough to make him see him in a new light.
However, Qin Shaofeng's last sentence left Lian Chenghao speechless.
"Don't worry, kid, you're overthinking things about forcefully taking her. How could my junior sister stoop to such a level?"
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 here. Who knew this kid would be so stubborn!
To give up the promise of the Meng family's little princess just like that, such a person is truly...
A gem!
"I'm sorry!"
Just then, the white-clothed girl suddenly spoke. She then said apologetically to Qin Shaofeng, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't mean to snatch your Snowy. I just like her. Since you disagree, I won't force it. However, can I be friends with her?"
Uh...
The white-clothed girl's sudden change of heart left Qin Shaofeng completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Although he didn't quite understand, out of politeness, and considering his current predicament, Qin Shaofeng finally nodded and said, "This, I suppose I can agree to, as long as Snowy doesn't object."
Though Qin Shaofeng seemed to agree, he was actually playing a trick.
Snowy agrees?
Back when the white-clothed girl made her request, Snowy had already bared its teeth and growled at her incessantly.
It was clear the little guy was already angry.
Under these circumstances, was it possible for the little guy to agree on its own?
But just as Qin Shaofeng had this thought, the white-clothed girl chuckled and said to him, "Thank you!"
The white-clothed girl didn't make any obvious movements, just moved her lips, and then something happened that made Qin Shaofeng's jaw drop.
As if hearing what the white-clothed girl said, Snowy stopped baring its teeth and growling. It tilted its cute little head slightly, looked at the white-clothed girl with a confused expression, as if pondering something.
Finally, Snowy leaped up and jumped into the white-clothed girl's arms.
This...
The situation before him left Qin Shaofeng bewildered.
Meanwhile, Lian Chenghao chuckled, looking somewhat smug. "How is it, confused now? Let me tell you the truth, my junior sister here has the innate ability to communicate with demonic beasts. No matter how low-level the demonic beast, she can communicate with it."
What?
She has such an ability?
Qin Shaofeng was startled, but then he seemed to understand something.
He glanced at the white-clothed girl and a cold smile formed in his heart.
If force won't work, are you planning to use this to get Snowy to follow you?
Unknowingly, Qin Shaofeng's feelings towards the white-clothed girl had taken a turn for the worse.
In his opinion, she was definitely using the pretense of befriending Snowy to win its favor, with the ultimate goal of betraying him, its master.
After all, even with a contract, if a War Beast is still young, it's easy for it to betray its master if it's incited.
But Qin Shaofeng wasn't worried about this.
No matter how much you try to incite it, can you incite the System?
From the initial attraction when they first met to the current situation.
The white-clothed girl's impression in Qin Shaofeng's mind had completely changed.
However, Qin Shaofeng didn't show it. While traveling, he didn't talk to Lian Chenghao anymore, instead pretending to cultivate in a seated position.
But in reality, was the white-clothed girl truly the person Qin Shaofeng thought she was?
Three hours later, Little Gold stopped again.
This time, their destination was no longer a mountain forest, wilderness, or a remote small town, but a prosperous large city five to six times the size of Lanjiang City.
They didn't stay long this time either, only about fifteen minutes, and Little Gold took them flying again.
However, this time, there was a burly man on Little Gold's back.
Is he also an examinee?
Looking at the burly man, who was as tall as a small tower, Qin Shaofeng felt confused.
But judging by his physique, the man must be quite old. Did he still meet the enrollment requirements for Lianyang Academy?
Didn't they say that Lianyang Academy wouldn't accept anyone over eighteen years old whose cultivation was below the Houtian realm?
The more Qin Shaofeng looked, the more confused he became. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, are you also a student of Lianyang Academy?"
No matter how he looked at it, the man didn't seem like an examinee, so Qin Shaofeng guessed he must be a student of Lianyang Academy.
But the moment Qin Shaofeng spoke, Lian Chenghao in front of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Big brother?"
As if thinking of something incredibly funny, Lian Chenghao laughed exaggeratedly. Even the white-clothed girl, who had been engrossed in playing with Snowy, couldn't help but glance over.
The burly man suddenly blushed. Looking at the laughing Lian Chenghao, he anxiously explained to Qin Shaofeng, "I'm not a student of Lianyang Academy yet. I'm also an examinee. And please don't call me 'big brother.' I just turned fourteen a month ago!"
F-fourteen years old?
Qin Shaofeng was shocked by this statement and his eyes widened. He stared in disbelief at the man standing nearly two meters tall, with explosive muscles, clearly built for immense strength.
But this kind of muscular man was only fourteen years old, even younger than Qin Shaofeng himself!
What on earth did this kid eat to grow like this?
How could he grow so much?
Could it be that humans in this world still have some kind of giant bloodline, and this kid is one of them?
Qin Shaofeng felt a surge of surprise, and his Fiery Golden Eyes couldn't help but activate.
Character: Du Meng
Level: Houtian Tenth Layer Early Stage
Inner Qi: 1800/1800
Talent Spiritual Root: Earth
Houtian Tenth Layer Early Stage?
The information fed back by his Fiery Golden Eyes startled Qin Shaofeng. He hadn't expected this fourteen-year-old burly young man to be a minor expert at the Houtian Tenth Layer Early Stage.
Moreover, his Inner Qi was much higher than that of an ordinary person.
Under normal circumstances, the Inner Qi for the Houtian Tenth Layer realm was around 650 points, but this person possessed 1800 points, nearly triple the average.
This clearly indicated that the cultivation technique he practiced was no ordinary one!
However, upon seeing the other party's name, Qin Shaofeng felt a bit speechless.
Du Meng?
I think he should be called Du Meng!
Such a formidable physique was truly astonishing!
And this young, burly man, developed to an outrageous degree, truly made Qin Shaofeng realize that this was definitely not Earth!
But it wasn't as Qin Shaofeng had guessed, that this Du Meng possessed some kind of giant bloodline.
Unlike the white-clothed girl, Du Meng was able to converse with Qin Shaofeng.
After a period of conversation, Qin Shaofeng learned that Du Meng could be considered a registered disciple of Master Brother Lian Chenghao. He had been cultivating a powerful body-refining technique since childhood, which was the reason for his current physique.
His goal for this trip to Lianyang Academy was to join the academy and become a five-star student before the age of fifteen.
Because only then could he officially become a disciple of Master Brother Lian Chenghao!
