Chapter 37 (1/2)

“No.” This was her reply, short and concise.

“What?” Liu Ran could not understand why Feng Ling sounded that bold and righteous. He had heard that people at Treasure Cove had many treasures with them. Why did she say otherwise?

Feng Ling returned her glance to Chen An to confirm whether her mischievous prank had succeeded. She then added, “What I meant is ‘no’ for today. I’m very familiar with the people here. The person who has a powerful plant-based beast is not here today—”

“When are they coming then?” Liu Ran was very enthusiastic. He pressed on before Feng Ling could finish her words.

“How would I know? I’ll let you know when he comes.”

Feng Ling was facing Chen An when she said that.

Liu Ran was clearly the one looking for a beast, but she wanted to communicate with Chen An.

Liu Ran spoke frankly. “Are you trying to woo my buddy? I have to tell you. We are close buddies and always together. You’ll have to look for me first if you want to find him.”

Feng Ling sneered. “A-alright. Understood. I’ll see you again when that person comes.”

Chen An nodded and left Treasure Cove.

The urgent task at hand was to hand this book to the red-haired man and find out its effect.

After returning to De Yuan, they could not find traces of the red-haired man. Li Danming was also clueless. He said the red-haired man had become more depressed and kept to himself more ever since he had unintentionally injured his opponent.

A Beast Tamer had to adhere to the beast battle rules and could not use tactics outside the rules. Neither could they kill or hurt the Beast Tamer and the beast.

If any party were to deliberately harm the opponent seriously during a beast battle, it would be hard for them to encounter Beast Tamers who were willing to fight with them in the future. They would also have a bad reputation, and this would leave a mark on their beast-taming journey.

The red-haired man had hurt someone again at the ranking battle stage. Thus, there were many discussions about this in De Yuan. Someone had suggested changing the rules of the leader board or banning special Beast Tamers from participating.

There was also a suggestion to expel the red-haired man from De Yuan.

Chen An searched many places in De Yuan but could not find the red-haired man.

Liu Ran had become impatient. “Buddy, why are you searching for him, expeditiously? You’re not related to him in any way.”

“You don’t understand.”

“What do I not understand? You must have gone to Treasure Cove to get the skills book for him. Do you know that you would have lost your beast if you had lost the battle today?”

“I won’t lose.”

“You make it sound that easy! What if! What if?!”

Chen An told him to shut up and focus on searching for the red-haired man. “You will very soon find out why I am concerned about the red-haired man’s matter. However, honestly, it is partly due to sympathy.”

“Why? Be blunt about it.” Liu Ran had learned his lesson. He knew that Chen An had a reason for all of his actions.

“Don’t be anxious. You have to feel it yourself to understand. It’s useless for me to say it.”

Just as Chen An said his piece, they found the red-haired man in a corner.

That was a very dark and damp corner, which had been isolated for a long time. Rubbish and excrement were piling up. It was smelly and filthy. This was a secluded land of filth in the bright and clean-looking De Yuan.

At that moment, the red-haired man’s flaming red short hair was buried in his arms, looking like an extinguished ball of fire with its last bit of shine.
