Chapter 78 (1/2)

Shua shua shua…

Green sword lights intertwined, forming a net. A tiny beetle happened to fly by, and was turned into powder silently.

Some time later, the sword light faded, revealing Huang Tielan’s tall figure. The chubby girl stood silently, with a hint of the air of a swordsmanship expert.

However, the trace of a sweet smile of her face ruined the atmosphere, revealing the innocence of a young girl in love.

Looking at the peculiarly-shaped green sword in her hands, it was like Huang Tielan was seeing Zhang Che right in front of her, mumbling, “Zhang Xiaoche, this is the best birthday present I have ever received in my eighteen years of life. I really love it!”

“Lanlan, you’re practicing the sword again?”

Huang Tielan turned around after hearing the voice. She saw her mother, Zhong Yuqing, strolling into the garden. She stamped her feet coyly, causing the turf to depress slightly and form a small pit.

“Mom, you’re like a cat when you walk; why aren’t there any sounds of footsteps?”

“Aiyo, when did my girl become so hardworking?” Zhong Yuqing teased her daughter as she walked closer. “Aren’t you uninterested in developing as a beastmaster, and said that you wanted to be a researcher? Why did you start practicing the sword again recently?

“Let me guess; is it because of that kid called Zhang Che?”

Huang Tielan stamped her feet again, “Mom, why did you go investigating my friend without my consent?”

Zhong Yuqing curled her lips, “Che, do I have to go check on him intentionally? We already knew about it when you got Adjutant Song to give your Fiery Scorpion to that kid behind our backs. What’s more, where did you get that weapon-type beast card in your hand from? Don’t tell me it was a gift from some ordinary classmate.”

Huang Tielan’s face flushed red. She lowered her head, mumbling indistinctly, “Ah, s-so it turned out that you and daddy already knew.”

Zhong Yuqing came up to Huang Tielan and tousled her head. “Silly girl, you’re my flesh and blood. Did you think your little schemes would go unnoticed by me?”

Seeing her daughter was looking rather nervous, Zhong Yuqing broke out into a smile and said, “Don’t worry. We won’t interfere in your matters. That kid is probably true to you, to give such a good weapon-type beast card to you, not to mention his capabilities.”

-Not! Zhang Xiaoche that scoundrel still hasn’t said anything about liking me even now!- Huang Tielan retorted inwardly. Her head drooped even lower, as a red glow appeared on her face unnoticed.

“Right, the thing about you asking your dad to look out for any information regarding a healing-type beast is also for that kid’s sake, isn’t it? Now I really want to meet this Zhang Che to see what kind of a guy he is, to actually make our Lanlan love him so wholeheartedly. Why don’t you bring him back sometime, and let us have a look at him?”

Hearing her mother talk about this, Huang Tielan showed a hint of worry on her face, saying, “He entered the beast world again. I don’t know how he is right now, or when he will be back.”

———

Zhang Che was feeling very good right now. He felt that he could possibly become a fisherman.

The Purple Jade Condor’s burst on its last breath had truly surprised him. He immediately stopped in place, deciding not to leave.
