"Then take a good look."
Smiling, Su Bai summoned his contract book and turned to the Little Tyrant's page.
"Roar!"
Ah Bai, didn't you say that you'd release me at the train station? Why are we home already?
The little dino looked up at him, upset.
"... I was afraid you'd bite someone's railings, " he replied.
The Little Tyrant: "..."
Why did not he have any trust in his pet?
"That's it? I already predicted that the Little Tyrant would be at the warlord level; I'm not shocked by it."
Chen Rouxue shrugged."Is your Thousand-face Fox a high-level servant or has it already evolved once? None of those can shock me—wait, is this... a dragon?!"
As she spoke, her mouth suddenly hung open. She was completely dumbfounded and frozen in place.
There was a scarlet dragon, a complete dragon.
The pure breath it exuded made her completely speechless.
She had only been away for a month, so why did it feel like she had been away for many years?
"Roar?"
Ah Bai, is this your girlfriend?
The Little Blood Dragon reduced its size as it looked up at him puzzledly.
"Yes, she's called Rouxue."
He introduced his girlfriend with a smile.
"Roar! (*^ー^)"
Hello, Sister Rouxue.
It reached out its tail and shook the girl's hand.
"Hello."
She nodded blankly and turned to the boy."When did you contract a divine dragon? Why didn't you tell me?"
"How is it? Are you shocked speechless?" Su Bai chuckled.
"Yes, yes. I'll definitely comply with whatever you want." She nodded and spoke hurriedly."Quickly tell me how you contracted this blood dragon."
She was terribly curious about how the impossible had happened.
"Actually, you've seen the predecessor of my pet dragon. I contracted it a long time ago; think about it."
He laughed.
"A long time ago... Could it be that Little Bloodworm?" asked Chen Rouxue."No, it's not possible."
"Haha, you're right. The predecessor of my pet dragon is the Little Bloodworm. Isn't it incredible?"
The youth laughed again.
"It's incredible; how did you do this?" She was still slightly dazed.
"Actually, it's the main characteristic of the Little Bloodworm..."
Su Bai briefly explained to her about the Little Bloodworm transforming into a dragon.
"That's amazing! You actually have an Ancestor Blood Dragon now. Am I in a relationship with a future peerless Pet Tamer?" she exclaimed in amazement.
"Of course, many things happened this month; I can't tell you all at once. I'll cook for you first and then tell you slowly as you eat."
Su Bai smiled.
"Let's cook together in a while; I already ate some on the train, so I'm not too hungry. I bought gifts for you and your pets; I'll show them to you later."
Chen Rouxue put down the suitcase and got out her gifts.
"Howl! (?o?╰╯o??)"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Upon hearing this, the cub ignored Big Demon and was the first to rush over. The dino and the dragon were not slow, either, and surrounded the suitcase in an instant, waiting for their gifts.
"Hehe!"
"Hing!"
Big Demon and the Thousand-face Fox squeezed over to join in the fun, expressing that they also wanted gifts of their own.
This space was too small. Stop squeezing.
"Everyone has their share; don't squeeze."
Smiling, Chen Rouxue opened the suitcase. She took out a small square box first and handed it to the cub."Purple Jade, this is for you."
"Howl?"
The cub curiously took it and pulled the bow on the box, opening it under everyone's wondering gazes.
Inside was a small round jade pendant, similar to a nameplate.
"This is a small storage nameplate. Purple Jade, you can put everything you want inside. It also has a main recognition function. As long as you infect it with your spiritual power, it'll recognize you, and no one else can open it except for you."
She explained with a smile upon seeing the cub's confusion.
"Howl! (*^▽^*)"
Thank you, thank you. I like it very much! The cub thought that she was really a qualified girlfriend.
It then happily poured in spiritual power. The pendant automatically went around its neck thereafter.
The cub took small steps and left, hurriedly putting its food and small toys into the hidden space pendant.
"This is for you, Little Tyrant." She gave the dino a big box.
It glanced at its own gift and opened it to reveal a transparent box filled with various ores.
"There are a total of 300 catties of ores inside a small space box, " Chen Rouxue said with a smile.
"Roar!"
Thank you! I like this gift very much! I hereby allow you to associate with Ah Bai.
The Little Tyrant took out a piece of ore and swallowed it whole.
Su Bai: "..."
Since when did he need their permission?
Chen Rouxue placed the Mewling Fox's gift onto the table and took out a red fruit with a crescent pattern on it for the dragon."I'm really sorry; this was originally prepared for the Little Bloodworm. I didn't expect you to have evolved into a dragon. I'll make it up to you with a new gift next time."
She felt a little apologetic at this unexpected situation.
"Roar~"
No, this is the best gift I've ever received.
The Little Blood Dragon accepted the gift and expressed its sincere thanks.
It did not expect that, apart from its owner, this girl would also remember its Little Bloodworm self and even specially prepare a gift for it.
The dragon's affections for Chen Rouxue increased by a few notches.
As for Big Demon and the Thousand-face Fox Qiu Qiu, they had been fooled by Chen Rouxue with two bottles of potions before.
"Hehe (-???-???-???-???-???___-???-???-???-???-???)"
The two showed disappointed and heartbroken looks.
Big Demon even fell with a clatter to the ground, looking desperately at its owner. Its big tongue rolled out of its mouth as it unleashed its acting skills.
"Boyfie, this is for you. It's a custom-made couple model, one for each of us. I'll help you put it on."
Chen Rouxue took out a Patek Philippe watch for her boyfriend and reached out to put it on for him.
"This model you chose looks pretty good."
He looked at the price and said.
Patek Philippe cost hundreds of thousands for custom models, which was a pretty good price for a luxury item.
Of course, more expensive ones made of extraordinary materials were available, too.
"Of course, it's me who picked it."
Chen Rouxue raised her head.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the second floor to put your things down. Let's cook lunch after; I'm hungry as well, " said Su Bai.
He brought her to the master bedroom on the second floor and smiled."How's this master bedroom? Isn't it big? You can see the view of most of the manor by standing in front of the window."
"It's perfect. I declare that this big bed is mine for the next few days!"
Chen Rouxue placed the safety box against the wall, lay on the bed, and exclaimed.
"What about me?"
Su Bai rushed over and hugged her waist with a smirk.
She turned to look at him, who was pressed against her body and almost face-to-face."Of course, you're sleeping on your side. Where else?"
"I refuse."
He stared at her red lips and leaned forward to kiss her...
"Howl..."
...
Su Bai lay in bed holding Chen Rouxue for a long time. Even if the air conditioner was turned on, he still felt a little hot at the moment.
"You're so sweet!" He licked his lips and said.
Chen Rouxue held her girlfriend's face with her white hands and stared into his eyes."Even if you whisper such sweet-nothings, I won't let you succeed. It'll be suffocating."
"Do you remember what you said before?" The boy smirked.
"What do you want to ask for?" She glared at him.
He bit her earlobe and slowly whispered, "..."
"Okay, I can promise you that, but the master bedroom belongs to me."
She hesitated for a while but still agreed.
"Okay, then."
Su Bai also agreed that they should sleep separately, or else the heat between them would cause things to be different than in winter. In the summer heat, things could easily happen.
Such things were not suitable to be done this early.
"Let's go and cook now."
Chen Rouxue tidied her short sleeve shirt, which had been pulled off by Su Bai, and stood up.
Su Bai also stood up and walked over to take out a lipstick from the bedside table. He came over and hugged her from behind, handing her the lipstick and smiling."This is for you. Do you like it?"
"It looks so beautiful; let me see the color." She was a little surprised that this guy would actually know to give her cosmetics. Judging by the appearance, it did not look to be cheap.
"Hey, you're so good at picking the color. It's pink bean paste; I love it!"
She was even more surprised upon opening the lipstick. This was a color she liked very much, which suited her very well.
"As long as you like it." Su Bai grinned and swung his arms around her. He had chosen this color for a long time and had finally decided on this after consulting Hou Jie.
Chen Rouxue put on the lipstick and looked up at him."How is it? Does it look good?"
Blinking, he lowered his head to kiss her pink lips. He grinned and said, "It's beautiful and sweet."
"Hmph! I won't nitpick with you for eating my lipstick since it's a gift from you. Come and apply it on me carefully, or else I'll kick you."
Glaring at him, Chen Rouxue handed the lipstick over and pinched his face threateningly.
Su Bai carefully applied lipstick on her lips. This was the first time he had applied lipstick on a girl; fortunately, there was no technical difficulty.
"It's very beautiful. I'm so happy to have such a beautiful girlfriend. I can't help but want to kiss you again."
He finished applying the lipstick on his girlfriend and grinned at her.
"Stop it; I'm hungry. Let's start cooking, " said Chen Rouxue in a soft voice.
"Okay, then. I'm quite hungry, too."
Su Bai had no choice but to nod. He had already kissed and touched her. He was afraid that he would be unable to control it if he went further.
...
They cooked together and soon whipped up a fragrant bowl of stir-fried beef.
The two chatted while they ate.
Chen Rouxue did not have much to say as she had only been training at a training base in Ancheng.
However, she was shocked and rendered speechless by her boyfriend's experience.
Within a month, he had actually experienced so many things and even seen a legendary creation-level spirit, the Eternally Miraculous Beauty.
Even more shockingly, he used leverage to diffuse the threats of a Pet Tamer with an emperor pet. The most unbelievable thing was he had managed to hoodwink a sovereign level Twelve-tailed Magic Fox into coming over.
He had even received invitations from several Royal Dragon families.
Everything seemed too incredible.
"In that case, let's not go to the insect ruins and the Scarlet Wilderness for the time being. You should work on your theoretical knowledge and prepare for the professional Pet Tamer assessment in December."
"Of course." Su Bai nodded.
With his girlfriend around, he lived more comfortably than the gods these days. Coupled with his group of cute pets, he was really the envy of the gods.
Whether it was fishing for leisure, planting flowers and grasses, or drinking tea and reading books, the feeling of being together was always incomparable.
"Okay, boyfie; I'm going back home now." Chen Rouxue finished packing her things and pulled her suitcase.
"Three days passed so quickly? It feels like it hasn't passed yet, " said Su Bai as he hugged his girlfriend."Can't you stay for a few more days?"
"The schedule is already fixed; how can I stay longer?
"We'll have more time to stay together in the future. Just don't think I'm annoying when the time comes." Chen Rouxue touched her boyfriend's face helplessly. This boy was actually particularly cute whenever he acted coy
"Okay, okay, then I'll take you back, " said Su Bai helplessly.
"Okay, good boy."
Chen Rouxue laughed and gently kissed him.
Good times were always short, and he really felt like the three days had gone by too quickly.
After sending her off to town, he waved farewell to her."See you in school."
"See you in school." She smiled and waved back.
Back home, he lay in bed and turned to look at a set of sailor suits and stockings that belonged to his girlfriend.
His small request for Chen Rouxue had not been anything much, and he just wanted to see what she looked like in a sailor suit.
She had met his small request by wearing the sailor suit to play with him for three days before finally leaving her clothes here.
After seeing her wear them, he had to admit that she was extremely beautiful. More importantly, her temperament was to his taste.
...
On the morning of August 6, Su Bai took two books and drove to school on an electric scooter with the cub.
Both the Mewling Fox and Chen Rouxue's Qiu Qiu were following the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox to understand the profound meaning of fantasy.
The dino and dragon were still in his contract book because of their sizes.
"How is it? Are you looking forward to school, Purple Jade?" he asked on the way.
"Howl!?(^ω^?)"
Of course, the school is full of weaklings. I can call them at will.
The cub boasted. It was only in school that it did not feel the pressure of life.
Su Bai: "..."
He originally thought that the cub wanted to learn, but this was actually what it was thinking.
Speaking of school, Su Bai himself had not been there for more than a month and had even given up on the school scholarship.
As usual, he walked into the classroom with the cub.
At this time, self-study had yet to begin, but more than half of the class was already here. Some were lying on the table, making up for lost sleep, while some were reading and solving problems; others were chatting and playing with their pets.
"Oh, you actually came to class."
Many people looked over in surprise upon seeing him. He had taken a leave of absence for more than a month, so everyone was very curious about where he had been.
Chen Rouxue had also taken two months of leave, so many of them were more curious about their relationship.
"Yes. I finished handling my business, so I'm back for lessons."
Su Bai nodded. Although it had been more than a month, these students had hardly changed, and their pets had not made much progress, either. Most of their pets had yet to break through to high-level servants, and it was estimated that none of them had a warlord pet.
Yang Zhou, Jiang Yang, and Chen Tingting, whom he had kept in touch with, also had pets which had not yet evolved and were stuck as high-level slaves.
Thus, it was much better for people to explore the world and go on adventures to take risks outside. It was not good to be alone like these students, who absolutely could not imagine how terrifying his progress had been over a month.
Nonetheless, no matter how strong his progress was, the younger generation of the dragon families in the alliance already had monarch pets, which showed the huge gap between them.
If he did not hurry to make up for it, he might find himself at the bottom in college, especially if he went to a better one.
"Wow, Purple Jade's aura has become stronger. Has it broken through to the middle-level warlord?"
Liu Weiwei, who was sitting in the front row, reading a book, asked curiously.
"Yes, it's normal to break through a small level in a month's time." He nodded and returned to his seat.
Liu Weiwei: "..."
The others: "..."
What did he mean that it was normal? So if their pets had not broken through in two to three and a half months, they were rubbish?
"Howl! (`^?)ノ"
That's right. Everyone in this room is rubbish. I can vouch for that!
The cub glanced back and forth, and no pet dared to look at it. This made it feel extremely satisfied.
Su Bai shook his head and ignored Purple Jade's antics, letting it be.
After wiping the tables and chairs for himself and Chen Rouxue, he sat down and quietly read a book.
"You're finally back! Where's Rouxue?"
Chen Tingting walked into the classroom and asked in surprise upon seeing him.
"Oh, she's right there." He pointed at Chen Rouxue, who had just entered through the door.
She had kept her Big Demon and did not walk with any pet, presumably to keep a low profile. Otherwise, her high-level warlord pet would definitely attract a lot of attention, and the whole grade would even come over to see it.
"Wow, you guys made an appointment to come together, " said Chen Tingting and happily greeted the other girl.
"Hey, you two are finally willing to come to school."
"I thought you guys were never coming back."
Jiang Yang and Yang Zhou walked into the classroom one after another and rushed over upon seeing the couple. Although they were very happy, they were not as rowdy and noisy as they used to be.
"Of course, I have to come. Hey, you two have made great progress, too; your pets are about to break through to the warlord grade."
Su Bai grinned. These two guys seemed to have had a spiritual awakening since the end of the five towns' spring festival competition and started to work hard.
