The contract Yu Huang had written to Xuanyuan Jing was still engraved on the wall of Divine Realm Academyâs disciplinary hall. Everyone in the academy knew about Xuanyuan Jing and Yu Huang.
Before Yu Huang sorted out her entanglement with Xuanyuan Jing, Sheng Xiao would not accept Yu Huangâs pursuit.
This was his pride.
Yu Huang received Sheng Xiaoâs reply and pursed her lips. âYouâre troublesome!â
She turned off her phone and ignored him.
Anna Tao was severely injured, and she was a little tired after chatting with Vivian and the others. She needed to rest and recover as soon as possible so that she could prepare for the global screening test next month.
It was getting late, and Anna Tao was worried that Vivian and the others would miss the bus time, so she said, âThank you for coming to accompany me today. Iâll do my best in the global screening test. Youâve given me a chance. Itâs fine even if I donât get into the top 2,000 in the end because it would be because Iâm useless.â
âHurry up and go back. Donât miss the bus time.â
Jiang Shangfeng looked at the time and indeed, they couldnât stay any longer.
After they said goodbye to Anna Tao, they prepared to leave. They realized that Yu Huang was still standing at the end of the bed. Jiang Shangfeng asked her, âYu Huang, arenât you going back with us?â
Yu Huang shook her head and said, âI still have things to do.â
âAlright then, be careful.â
âGot it.â
After Jiang Shangfeng and the others left, Anna Tao said to Yu Huang, âYu Huang, thank you.â
Yu Huang raised her hand and stroked Anna Taoâs head. She asked her, âHave you broken off contact with your father?â
Anna Tao nodded and said, âIâve already taken my ID from him. I now have a home of my own. Moreover, I have evidence that he once abused me. If he dares to harass me, Iâll call the police.â
Domestic abuse was illegal, and if the situation was serious, he would have to go to jail. Mr. Tao was unreasonable, but he was most afraid of the police. He was afraid of going to jail, so he didnât dare to cause trouble for Anna Tao.
Yu Huangâs attention was elsewhere. âAnna, you arenât stuttering anymore?â
Anna Tao was a little embarrassed. She stammered, âAt my new school, I was afraid⦠afraid that everyone would laugh at me. So, so, I was⦠mindful of it.â
She started stuttering again.
Yu Huang chuckled. âI have good news to share with you.â Yu Huang stretched out her right hand and summoned Xuan Yu. âAnna, Iâm a Beast Tamer too!â
Anna Taoâs eyes widened with joy. âWow, your beast form is a little duck! So powerful!â Because her ant was in her beast form, Anna Tao felt that anyoneâs beast form was very powerful.
âYu Huang, how did you do it? Didnât you fail to awaken in the Purifying Spirit Academy?â Anna Tao was truly happy for her good friend who had successfully awakened her beast form.
Yu Huang didnât explain Xuan Yuâs true identity. She told Anna Tao what she had told Vivian and the others.
Anna Tao felt sorry for Yu Huang after she heard that. She grabbed Yu Huangâs hand and asked her, âYouâve suffered a lot in the past six months, right?â
Yu Huang shook her head. âItâs not tough since Iâve successfully awakened my beast form.â
âYes, as long as itâs successful, itâs worth it.â
âLet me see your beast form.â Yu Huang had yet to take a close look at Anna Taoâs beast form.
Anna Tao felt embarrassed. Her ears were red as she said, âWhatâs so good about ants?â
âLet me see what species your ant is.â
Anna Tao told her, âActually, I donât understand what kind of ant my little ant is. I didnât find a breed like it. You know a lot. Help me take a look.â
Only then did Anna Tao release the beast ant.
The ant was hovering over Anna Tao. Yu Huang moved closer and observed it carefully.
It was a small black ant-shaped creature. Yu Huang observed it carefully and realized that this ant was different from the ants they had seen in their lives. Firstly, it had no tentacles. Secondly, it had a row of small teeth in its mouth.
This was very strange.
Ants were insects, and their food organs were their mouthparts. When had anyone ever seen an ant with teeth?
Yu Huang looked at Anna Tao strangely and asked her, âHave you ever thought that your beast form might not be an ant?â
Anna Tao stared at her beast form and said, âThatâs an ant.â Anyone would think that it was an ant.
Yu Huang pointed at the little antâs mouth and said, âBut your ant has teeth!â
Anna Tao blinked and asked Yu Huang, âIsnât it normal for ants to have teeth?â
âAre you stupid? Ants are insects. They rely on their mouthparts to eat. They have no teeth!â
Anna Tao was confused.
Was that so?
She thought all animals had teeth.
âYou must not have learned biology well.â That was what she said, but Yu Huang did not know what this thing was. âIâll go to the Myriad Book Pavilion to help you investigate.â
The Myriad Book Pavilion contained the most complete beast form of the three thousand worlds. She might be able to find something there.
âGot it.â
She said that she would wait for Yu Huangâs news obediently, but Anna Tao did not have any expectations. She spent more than half a year to completely accept the fact that her beast form was just an ant. She did not dare to dream about anything more.
Too much hope would bring despair.
If Yu Huang wanted to leave the competition, she had to pass through the entire audience. Sheng Xiao happened to be sitting in the first row of the Sheng family. When Yu Huang left, she happened to pass by him.
Sheng Xiao saw Yu Huang from afar and sat up straighter. Some people who were observing Sheng Xiao saw him suddenly sit up straight. They thought that someone had made a mistake and was caught by Sheng Xiao. They became nervous.
But soon, they realized that Sheng Xiaoâs attention was not on the ring at all. Instead, it was on a young girl wearing a mask.
Everyone was speechless.
Oh, was that boy from the Sheng family finally in love?
Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao too. She saw that Sheng Xiao was staring at her. She felt amused. Yu Huang stopped in front of Sheng Xiao and said, âItâs almost six oâclock.â
Sheng Xiao told her, âThereâs still ten minutes.â
Therefore, Yu Huang said, âItâs time for dinner. Are you hungry?â
After reaching the level of a Supreme Master, Sheng Xiao had stopped eating. It was okay if he did not eat for a few months. However, Yu Huang asked. Sheng Xiao had to pretend to be hungry.
He nodded. âA little,â he said.
Yu Huang said, âItâs my treat. Letâs go and eat small wontons.â
Sheng Xiao stood up in a reserved manner. He turned around and said to the Sheng family disciples, âWhen your juniorâs competition is over, tell her not to wait for me. Go back to the hotel first.â
âYes.â
Sheng Xiao left with Yu Huang.
As soon as they left, the Sheng familyâs core disciples were in an uproar.
âWhoâs that girl beside Young Master?! Young Masterâs attitude towards her is extraordinary!â
âDidnât the Young Master abstain from eating long ago? He actually said that he was hungry!â
âCould this be our future Young Madam?!â
As a Purifying Spirit Master, Yu Huangâs hearing was particularly sharp. The corners of her lips curled up as she thought to herself, You guys are quite discerning. When I become the Young Madam in the future, I will definitely treat you guys well.
Such discerning children were worthy of good treatment.
