The two of them walked side by side towards the exit of the racecourse. They attracted a lot of attention. However, Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were calm. No one dared to guess their real relationship.
The Beast Tamer Selection Compet.i.tion was the grandest day of the year in Jingdu. In order to ensure that no accidents happened, the roads leading to the suburbs of Jingdu were all sealed, and only the host’s double-level bus was allowed.
Yu Huang and the others had taken a double-storey bus to the subway station. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were going to the city for a meal, so they could only take the double-storey bus to Jingdu.
Dozens of double-storey buses stopped at the side of the road outside the racecourse. The first bus had already started and would set off after everyone was here. Yu Huang saw that the seats were almost full and wanted to wait for the next bus with Sheng Xiao.
When the driver saw their picky expressions, he was instantly angered. He stuck his head out of the car window and shouted at Yu Huang and the others, “You have to get in the car quickly! The car behind me will only leave after the crowd has dispersed. When there are more people later, you won’t even have a seat!”
The qualifying compet.i.tion ended at six o’clock sharp and continued tomorrow. After the compet.i.tion ended, the audience would take the double-storey bus and leave. At that time, they would indeed not even be able to get a spot.
Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, “Are you going?”
Sheng Xiao nodded. “Yes.”
The two of them got into the car. Seeing that the first floor was full, Yu Huang said to Sheng Xiao, “I’ll take a look at the second floor.”
On the second floor, Yu Huang saw that the middle seat of the last row was still empty, so she stood at the stairs on the second floor and said to Sheng Xiao, “Brother Xiao, come up. There’s another seat.”
Sheng Xiao frowned. “There’s only one?”
Yu Huang said, “Come over quickly, I’ll let you sit!”
Yu Huang knew how to dote on people the most. When she doted on him, even she herself was jealous.
The second floor was only 1.7 meters tall. Sheng Xiao had to bend down to walk.
He walked to the middle seat and sat down. He asked Yu Huang, “Then where are you sitting?”
Yu Huang waved her hand. “I don’t need to sit.” She squatted down in the aisle in front of Sheng Xiao and took out her phone to search for the most delicious wonton place in Jingdu.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao poked her back with a finger.
Yu Huang turned around and looked at Sheng Xiao in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Sheng Xiao stretched out his legs and put his boots together. He said to Yu Huang, “Sit on my feet.”
When Yu Huang saw that Sheng Xiao was blushing, she had evil intentions. Yu Huang sat on Sheng Xiao’s leg and looked up at him. “Your feet are so hard. Your legs are so soft. Why don’t you let me sit there?”
Sheng Xiao was a little embarra.s.sed by Yu Huang’s teasing. He did not know how to answer. He was even angry.
Sheng Xiao was not used to Yu Huang being like this. He felt that she was a little too unrestrained, but he did not dislike it.
Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang’s face and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Although Yu Huang had been disfigured, her facial features were very perfect. Not only did she not look ugly while wearing a mask, but it also added a sense of mysterious beauty to her.
Looking at Yu Huang’s cherry red lips, Sheng Xiao asked, “Are Xuanyuan Jing’s legs very soft too?” Sheng Xiao wanted to slap himself.
How stupid!
Yu Huang was shocked. She thought that she had heard wrongly and looked at Sheng Xiao in surprise. When she saw that Sheng Xiao was angry and regretful, she smiled again.
She teased Sheng Xiao on purpose. “You have to let me sit once before I can compare.”
So she had really sat on Xuanyuan Jing’s lap before!
Sheng Xiao’s gaze darkened when he heard this answer. He suddenly pulled his legs out from under Yu Huang’s b.u.t.t.
Yu Huang was caught off guard and fell on the ground.
Sheng Xiao bent down and stood up. He said, “Take a seat. I’ll stand on the first floor.” Then, he went to the first floor.
Yu Huang sat down and thought about Sheng Xiao’s angry reaction. She felt that it was funny. She did not expect him to be so jealous.
The double-storey bus stopped at the downtown terminal. The pa.s.sengers on the first floor got off first, and the people on the second floor followed.
Yu Huang sat in the last row. When she got out of the bus, there was no one in the bus.
Yu Huang thought that Sheng Xiao left after getting angry. However, when she got out of the car, she saw Sheng Xiao waiting for her in the crowd.
Yu Huang was quite happy and waved at him. “Brother Xiao, I’m here!”
Sheng Xiao only turned around and walked out of the bus stop when he saw that she had alighted.
Yu Huang hurriedly ran after him.
After walking for a while, Sheng Xiao realized that his actions were a little childish. He stopped in his tracks quietly. When Yu Huang got closer, he suddenly apologized. “I was rude in the car earlier. I apologize.”
Yu Huang was very surprised and asked him, “Why are you apologizing?”
Sheng Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at Yu Huang. He said frankly, “I’m being petty. I shouldn’t be angry with you.”
Yu Huang smiled and asked him, “Why are you angry?”
Sheng Xiao pursed his lips and did not say anything.
Yu Huang knew why Sheng Xiao was unhappy, but she wanted to get to the bottom of it. She wanted to let him know what he was thinking.
“If you don’t know why, let me explain it to you.” Yu Huang pressed her palm on Sheng Xiao’s chest. “Because you have me here.”
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows at her. He did not refute her words, but he did not admit it either.
Yu Huang blinked her curly eyelashes and said, “Let me guess. When did I enter your heart?”
Yu Huang stood on her tiptoes and looked up at Sheng Xiao. She asked curiously, “Was it when you saw that after I was dumped by Xuanyuan Jing, not only did I not cry, but I even threw him a declaration of war? Or was it when you found out that I risked my life to jump into the Purgatory Sea to become a Purifying Spirit Master, and I even successfully became a Purifying Spirit Master? Or was it that night at the capital hotel of Rakshasa Empire, when I recklessly swallowed the Purifying Spirit Sacred Pearl to make you happy and almost exploded?”
The more Yu Huang spoke, the deeper Sheng Xiao’s gaze became. He felt embarra.s.sed that someone had seen through his thoughts, but he did not stop Yu Huang from continuing.
Yu Huang knew that she had guessed correctly when she saw Sheng Xiao’s cold expression.
She said with certainty, “Sheng Xiao, maybe there are many girls in the world who like you and worship you, but none of them are as special as me.”
Sheng Xiao finally spoke. He asked Yu Huang, “How are you special?”
Yu Huang said, “I’m especially attractive to you.”
Sheng Xiao paused.
He stared at Yu Huang with a strange expression for a while before suddenly saying, “I underestimated you before. You will become this year’s college entrance examination top scorer.”
Yu Huang did not understand what Sheng Xiao meant immediately. When she understood, she smiled sweetly. “Brother Xiao, are you praising me for being smart?”
Sheng Xiao lowered his head and walked. He did not admit it.
Yu Huang chased after him and shook Sheng Xiao’s sleeve. She said, “If I become the top scorer, you can be my boyfriend!”
Sheng Xiao reminded her mercilessly, “Have you forgotten? Your name and your ex-fiancé’s are still engraved on the wall of my school’s disciplinary hall.”
Every time he pa.s.sed by the disciplinary hall and saw the names of the two people together on the wall, Sheng Xiao would feel vexed.
However, he did not realize how he felt about Yu Huang back then. Now that he had thought about it, Sheng Xiao had the urge to smash the wall.
Yu Huang changed her words. “When I defeat Xuanyuan Jing, you can be my boyfriend.”
Sheng Xiao did not nod this time, but he did not reject it.
The two of them walked all the way to an old wonton shop. Yu Huang had only eaten a bowl of minty starch jelly in the morning and was already hungry.
She ordered two bowls of wonton in one go while Sheng Xiao only ordered one.
The waiter brought the three bowls of wonton to the table and placed two of them in front of Yu Huang, one on each side. She noticed that someone was peeping at them and asked Sheng Xiao in a low voice, “I have a big appet.i.te. Would you feel ashamed to eat with me?”
Sheng Xiao put down the spoon and looked at her. He suddenly thought of something. ‘Whether the husband is rich or not all depends on how pump the wife is.’
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
He stared at Yu Huang’s thin arm and frowned as he said, “Eat more. You’re too thin.”
“Mentor also thinks that I’m too thin. He said that after my college entrance examination is over, he will set up a systematic strength training for me. When we meet again, I might become a King Kong Barbie.”
Yu Huang put down the spoon and asked Sheng Xiao seriously, “Do you like muscular girls or demure girls?”
Sheng Xiao thought to himself, ‘Girls of your type.’
However, he felt that it was too brazen, so the answer that was about to come out of him mouth was changed at the last moment. “The kind that is ruthless and reticent.”
Yu Huang only shut up when she was despised for being a chatterbox.
She felt that after being with Sheng Xiao for a long time, she had become younger. Her mumbling was not like her.
After dinner, Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, “Where are you staying tonight?”
Yu Huang had yet to book a hotel. She said, “I want to go to the Myriad Book Pavilion.”
“Myriad Book Pavilion?”
“I need to check some information.”
Sheng Xiao had nothing to do tonight. He said, “I’ll go with you.”
“That’s good. I still have to apply for the Beast Tamer Badge and Purifying Spirit Master Badge. Do you know where I can get them?”
“You have to register your ident.i.ty at the Beast Tamer Alliance and apply for a badge. The Purifying Spirit Master Badge can be done at the various Purifying Spirit Academy branches in the various cities. It will be more convenient for you to register after you return.”
Since the Beast Tamer Alliance would end work at 8: 30 PM, Sheng Xiao said, “Go to the Alliance’s place to register your ident.i.ty before going to the Myriad Book Pavilion.”
“Alright then.”
The two of them circled half the city before arriving at the Beast Tamer Alliance’s building.
The office hall was on the first floor and the hall was very wide. The desks were scattered in the hall in a U shape. There was a staff member sitting behind every desk.
The manager recognized Sheng Xiao the moment he appeared.
The manager quickly walked out from behind the desk in the middle and came to Sheng Xiao. He bowed and asked respectfully, “Supreme Master Sheng, it’s been half a year. Did you… level up again?”
Hearing this, everyone in the hall instantly became silent.
What?
Sheng Xiao had advanced again?
Everyone looked at Sheng Xiao as if he was a monster.
Yu Huang burst out laughing.
Sheng Xiao was also feeling awkward. He took a step to the left and revealed Yu Huang, who was standing behind him.
When the manager saw Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao’s awkward expression, he realized that he had asked a stupid question.
Sheng Xiao had broken through to the Supreme Master realm half a year ago.. Even if he swallowed a rocket, he would not be able to break through to the Grand Master realm in a short time.
