Chapter 1 You Seem To Be Talented.... (1/2)
Book One — Rising In Starnet Academy
Infinite Mountain Range, as an existence that caused others to reveal terror upon mentioning its name, an ordinary person should have kept away from it. But, it wasn’t the slightest bit silent here today.
In midair, a ‘birdman’ worked hard to flap his wings, yet its effect wasn’t quite obvious, and he collided right onto a towering tree….
“Motherf*cker! I forgot about the landing. Fortunately, I have f*cking good luck.” As he endured the pain and crawled up from the ground, Bai Xiaofei who had an overjoyed expression written all over his face took a deep breath.
“I’m finally free!!!!” As soon as he finished speaking, a tiny head that was a mix of black and white stuck out from beneath his loose clothes, and it licked Bai Xiaofei’s face crazily.
“Woof! Woof! Aowu~” Shockingly, it was a juvenile husky that had come out of from Bai Xiaofei’s embrace! It seemed to have sensed its master’s excitement, and it started howling as well.
“Huskie, quickly go see if there’s anything edible in the surroundings. We’ve been busy all morning, and we even forgot to have a meal.” As he rubbed Huskie’s head, Bai Xiaofei pulled out the tiny fellow and placed him on the ground, and then Huskie fully displayed the behavior of huskies when let go, he vanished within the bushes in the blink of an eye.
But, Bai Xiaofei seemed to not be worried in the slightest, and he calmly waited for his husky to return victoriously.
“AH!!!”
“F*CK! Whose dog is this!!!?”
Suddenly, the shocked exclaims of a man and woman sounded out from within the bushes, and subsequently, a geezer that was wearing his clothes in a rush stood up from the bushes….
The frightened Huskie instantly fled into Bai Xiaofei’s embrace.
Both of them stared at each other in speechless dismay. Bai Xiaofei tried hard to fake a calm expression as he stared fixedly at the geezer before him, yet a tempestuous storm was actually surging within his heart.
Not to mention anything else, this fellow Huskie was one that roamed fearlessly in a place like the Gorge of Heroes that villains ran wild in, yet Huskie obediently tucked his tails between his legs before this geezer while curled up quietly in Bai Xiaofei’s embrace.
“Kid, do you recognize me!?” Finally, the geezer was the first to break the silence, and he spoke with a cold voice and stiff expression as if he wanted to eat Bai Xiaofei up.
“Grandpa, even though you’re filled with spirit and seem like a big boss at first glance, but I’ve just come from a remote village and really don’t know you.” After gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Bai Xiaofei who was full of smiles spoke a string of words in one go, and he instinctively praised the geezer up into the heavens.
On the other hand, the geezer heaved a long sigh of relief instead when he heard this answer. Since he doesn’t recognize me, then it’s easy to deal with.
“Cough, cough, that…. Earlier, that….” His stiff expression instantly collapsed and replacing it was a trace of embarrassment, and then the geezer started to stutter.
“Earlier, I saw that you were concentrated in your cultivation. Every single move you made caused the spirit energy of the heavens and the earth to surge, and it terrified the countless high level Magical Beasts in the surroundings to the point of bowing their heads in submission.” The geezer was still thinking about how to explain it when Bai Xiaofei had already given him a perfect answer, and it stupefied the geezer.
I’ve seen many who can speak nonsense, yet I’ve never seen one that can do it while seeming justified, confident, and without blushing.
What a promising young man!
“Err…. Exactly, it’s exactly like that! But, it isn’t suitable for this cultivation technique of mine to be known by others, so….” One couldn’t say the geezer’s reaction was slow, and he went along with it.
“I understand! I just had a nap here and had a sweet dream of meeting an expert!”
“Right! It’s exactly like that!” He couldn’t help but clap. The old man was happy like a child, yet he quickly realized that he’d lost his composure, and he became solemn and serious once more.
“Cough, cough, err…. Meeting is fate. You seem to be talented, so I’ll bestow some fortune upon you.” As he spoke, a light flashed on the old man’s hand, and a gorgeous and multicolored disk that was covered in various symbols appeared on his hand.
Bai Xiaofei’s expression swiftly turned grim when he saw this.
A Violetgold Puppet!!!
Even though one might not have had meat nor seen game running about, but one had surely heard of their existence!
A Violetgold Puppet! That’s a treasure from the legends!
Could it be that this geezer wants to silence me?!
It can’t be! If he wanted to make a move, I’d have died long ago!
So what’s the meaning of this?
Instantly, countless thoughts flashed within Bai Xiaofei’s heart, yet all of them were rejected by him.
