Chapter 20
: With the two of us joining forces, how could we possibly be a match for them?
Xue Youyou didn't pick up on the slight sarcasm in Su Wanrou's words, and instead asked with great interest, "Can I challenge for the first seat? Is it just a matter of applying at the front desk?"
"You want to challenge Lin Yueyao?" Su Wanrou was stunned, thinking that Xue Youyou had really gone mad.
It's important to know that rare pet evolution paths generally have strict limits on the number of negative battles.
Losing too much will definitely affect a pet's future development potential; this is a consensus among all pet tamers.
Unless they are very confident, few beast tamers would send their pets into a battle where the odds are heavily against them, only to have them die in vain.
Moreover, the seat challenge matches are all broadcast live.
If you're not careful, your miserable death in a virtual battle might be turned into an emoji and posted on the academy forum for everyone to enjoy.
Although Xue Youyou's desire to become a clown has nothing to do with me, and I even find it quite amusing.
But Su Wanrou shook her head and answered honestly, "The Lanzhou League starts next week, and the academy has a rule that you can't challenge team members for seats during the league."
"Is that so..." Xue Youyou pouted in disappointment.
After entering this battle tower-like environment, Mingming felt a strong urge to play and was very enthusiastic about battling.
Xue Youyou's arrogant and pretentious attitude made Su Wanrou unable to hold back any longer, and she immediately suggested, "If you really want to start a game, you can challenge Xie Jianchun, who is in the eighth seat."
"She was just kicked out of the first team a few days ago, so now she's the only one in the top ten who can be challenged."
Xue Youyou wanted to embarrass herself, so she didn't bother to stop her. Letting Xue Youyou make a fool of herself might just make her back down.
However, Xue Youyou made a "NO" gesture in front of Su Wanrou this time: "That would be meaningless. I never bully the weak. The strong only raise their swords against the stronger."
Su Wanrou's eyes twitched at the sight, and she almost laughed out of anger at Xue Youyou. She just chuckled and said, "You really dare to say that. Her master pet is a fully evolved Leaf-Leaf Mantis."
She was truly impressed by Meng Yanqing; where did she find such a rare find?
Not only is he ill, but he also suffers from a serious illness.
"..."
"..."
The top floor of the pet battle building.
Su Wanrou led Xue Youyou, explaining things along the way.
"Go left at this fork and you'll reach the first team's training room. Our second team's training room is on the right."
The two turned right and walked to the end of the corridor.
A dog tag hangs on the silver-white metal door that reads "Second Team's Private Training Room, No Unauthorized Entry".
There is an electronic device on the right side of the door used to verify identity.
What's today's password?
A mechanical electronic sound rang out.
Su Wanrou pursed her lips slightly, paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating whether to speak, glanced at Xue Youyou before saying, "Beat up that big liar Xue Youyou."
These words startled Xue Youyou so much that she jumped in fright.
Su Wanrou immediately explained, "Don't be nervous, this is the password the captain set eight days ago, and he hasn't had time to change it yet."
"Hehe..." Xue Youyou wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead.
She was really startled just now. Judging from the situation, she thought they were going to lock the door and beat the dog. She never expected Meng Yanqing to have such a big grudge against her.
Seeing the startled Xue Youyou, Su Wanrou hesitated to speak.
Actually, all the opening commands for the training room this week were related to Xue Youyou.
Moreover, it was clear that the captain's emotions were fluctuating greatly.
Although she had forgotten some of the beginning, she remembered the last two days very clearly.
Yesterday's dish was "Stir-fried Snowflakes".
The day before yesterday, it was "Only Youyou can heal me".
She felt embarrassed for Meng Yanqing just saying the command.
All I can say is that the captain has been really stressed these past few days.
Once the password is successfully recognized, the door opens automatically.
Almost simultaneously, the three people in the training room all looked over in unison.
Xue Youyou could clearly sense the sharp scrutiny in two of their gazes.
One gaze came from the sporty girl with black scorpion braids, while the other gaze came from the hot, curvaceous girl with long, light blue hair.
The remaining gaze was somewhat indescribable; if Xue Youyou had to describe it in one word… it was one of repression.
The familiar green-haired loli was also wearing an academy uniform, but she had a conspicuous silver emblem pinned to her chest, symbolizing her status as the captain of the second team.
The door opened fully, and upon seeing who it was, Meng Yanqing jumped up from the sofa like a hungry cat pouncing on its prey.
"Bang!"
In full view of everyone, he leaped more than ten meters and tackled Xue Youyou to the ground.
Then, take a bite.
"hiss--"
Xue Youyou gasped.
She thought it was some kind of joyful reunion, and that Meng Yanqing could hug one of them if she wanted, so she didn't dodge.
I never expected this girl to really hate me.
"Where are you biting!?"
Xue Youyou felt a surge of heat rush to her face, and her originally snow-white skin turned a rosy color. Half of it was shyness, and half of it was pain. She reached out and gently patted Meng Yanqing's back, signaling her to let go.
At the very least... find a secluded place!
Paying off debts is one thing, but she also has human rights!
The three friends watching were completely stunned.
After inhaling Xue Youyou's scent for nearly a minute, Meng Yanqing finally felt refreshed, and the pent-up frustration in her heart for many days vanished. Only then did she regain her senses and realize that she hadn't called Xue Youyou over for this reason.
I don't know why, but the moment I saw Xue Youyou, my body started moving on its own.
The me of the last second is not the me of now.
That's what Meng Yanqing thought.
With Meng Yanqing letting go, the two were finally able to stand up again.
They stared at each other in silence for several seconds; the training room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Xue Youyou spoke first, breaking the awkward silence.
After saying that, Xue turned around quietly, her mood slightly heavy.
She's probably already being seen as the kind of woman who offers limited-time home visits.
It's completely inexplicable now.
But at least she proved to Meng Yanqing that she wasn't a liar.
She has a clear conscience about this.
"Youyou." Seeing that Xue Youyou was about to leave, Meng Yanqing hurriedly called out to her.
But that soft "youyou" sounded especially affectionate to the other three team members who were quietly watching the show.
"Huh? Isn't it over yet?" Xue Youyou turned around stiffly.
Given her level of acceptance of having an audience for that kind of thing, she had already reached her psychological limit just now.
"Uh, actually I called you here today to invite you to join the second team!"
Meng Yanqing finally got to the point, looking at Xue Youyou with a sincere expression and saying, "When we first talked in the shop a week ago, I felt that you were exceptionally knowledgeable and definitely not just a pretty face as rumored."
"After personally fighting you today, I am even more amazed by your extraordinary abilities and feel that we have met too late."
"The Lanzhou League boasts numerous strong teams, including a superstar academy member nicknamed the 'Ten Heavenly Kings.' I alone might not be able to carry the team, but if the two of us join forces, we might just be able to put up a fight!"
Meng Yanqing became more and more excited as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou's delicate body trembled.
It's not because I was moved by those ridiculous words.
It was because he was angry.
She never expected Meng Yanqing to be so shameless.
She just had her way with her body, and now she wants to get me to work for her for free.
The poet held the ditch, taking and eating with him.
