Chapter 22

The Team of Gods

After the little incident, it was the last team member Xue Youyou didn't recognize. A girl with long, light blue hair who looked very radiant introduced herself.

"Lu Yutang, a second-year student, the tenth seat in the academy, whose main battle pet is the fully evolved pet beast Qingnang Tangxian, responsible for supporting the team."

Seeing that Xue Youyou was about to recite the names of the dishes, Lu Yutang quickly interrupted her spellcasting: "Stop! You don't need to talk about the evolution path of Qingnang Tangxian anymore."

Everyone present was convinced of Xue Youyou's theoretical prowess, so she naturally didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Xue Youyou blinked, feeling that the words were already on the tip of her tongue and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't say them. She quickly changed her words and said, "What I wanted to say is that Senior Lu's name is really nice."

"Is...is that so..." The sudden praise left Lu Yutang somewhat flustered.

It should be noted that before Xue Youyou entered the room, she and Cui Yelan were the ones who opposed Xue Youyou joining the family the most.

Receiving Xue Youyou's praise at this moment made her happy but also a little guilty.

Many people have praised her for being beautiful since she was a child, but this is the first time they've complimented her on her beautiful name.

She suddenly realized that this newly joined school beauty was quite nice.

She's beautiful inside and out.

Since things have come to this, let's try to get along well from now on.

Lu Yutang nervously fiddled with the strands of hair behind her ear, her face flushed as she softly thanked Xue Youyou, "Thank you."

Her tender and affectionate demeanor stunned her three former teammates.

Meng Yanqing stared in disbelief and said, "Xiao Lu, is this how you usually talk?"

Is that correct?

This doesn't make sense, does it?

"How many times have I told you? Don't call me Little Deer, call me Big Rain Tang!"

"You're clearly the youngest here, Captain, yet you keep calling everyone else 'younger' or 'younger,' aren't you ashamed?" Lu Yutang put her hands on her hips, giving Meng Yanqing a disdainful look below her collarbone, her meaning clear.

"Don't smear your captain. I'm just still developing. Don't you know what it means to surpass someone who came from behind?"

After Meng Yanqing finished her weak rebuttal, she revealed a look of utter satisfaction: "Finally, it's just right. My fiery Miss Yutang is finally back."

"Are you trying to die?!"

"..."

Looking at Lu Yutang, whose demeanor suddenly changed and who was now arguing with Meng Yanqing, Xue Youyou felt somewhat bewildered.

Su Wanrou sat down next to Xue Youyou and whispered in her ear, "She is the little princess of the city lord's family in Lanzhi City. Remember to coax her more and say nice things to her. If you really offend her, you will suffer the consequences."

"Hehe..." What else could Xue Youyou say?

One is the granddaughter of the branch manager of the Moon Orchid Alliance Pet Shop, and the other is the daughter of the city lord.

Why does the second team of Lanzhiyuan give off such a vibe of young ladies playing house?

Xue Youyou winked at Su Wanrou: "You're not some rich young lady either, are you?"

Su Wanrou gently covered her lips and smiled sweetly: "How could that be? I am gentle inside and out."

So who is inconsistent inside and out?

Xue Youyou understood. The seemingly gentle young woman in front of her, who exuded the aura of a married woman, was actually a cunning and manipulative woman.

This is a team of extraordinary individuals, a mix of narcissists, pampered rich people, and eccentrics.

She now has ample reason to suspect that the former teammate who defected, as Meng Yanqing mentioned, is the only normal person.

And now, the position of the only normal person has been handed over to her.

Instantly, a deep sense of mission welled up within me, emanating from the bottom of my heart.

She was hungry.

Xue Youyou noticed a bunch of exquisite snacks in the fruit plate on the tea table, and immediately stole a bag and started chewing.

It's such a delicious and heartwarming dish.

Xue Youyou almost burst into tears after eating instant noodles for seven days straight.

Anyway, my balance was almost zero after buying the negative-field discount card, so it seems pretty good to just stay here and eat and drink for free.

Just then, Cui Yelan, who had been silent for a while, suddenly exclaimed, "I almost forgot, Xue Youyou, you haven't introduced yourself yet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yanqing and Lu Yutang, who were fighting, stopped at the same time.

In less than a second, all four of them turned their gazes to Xue Youyou, who was secretly eating snacks on the table.

"Gurgle—"

Swallowing the yogurt pudding in her mouth, Xue, whose good time had been interrupted, gave Cui Yelan a resentful look.

It's you again, you troublemaker.

They just want to see themselves embarrass themselves.

The abacus beads are practically pointing at his face.

"Xue Youyou, a first-year student, whose main battle pet is the mature-stage pet beast Xue Nu."

She wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the identity of the Snow Woman just out of competitiveness.

In fact, she has decided that unless absolutely necessary, the Yuki-onna of the Shindai will fight in the form of the Yuki-onna from now on.

The reason Xue Youyou initially refused Meng Yanqing's invitation to form a team was because she was worried that if Shendai Yuki-onna played in the league, it would attract too much attention.

After all, the question mark in the category column is still too mysterious and hard to explain, not much different from a walking, conspicuous bag.

If someone knowledgeable can see that this is a mythical omen, it could bring him a lot of trouble.

As the saying goes, when traveling the world, one should always be wary of others.

At the very least, she needs to gain enough time to develop steadily before stepping into the ultimate realm.

However, just hearing the words "Snow Woman" was enough to make the other three, except for Meng Yanqing who had already met the Snow Woman, show surprise.

"A snow woman!?"

"Isn't that the legendary pet beast?"

"It's said that no beast tamer has ever successfully bred a Yuki-onna!"

"Is it really the Snow Woman?!" Lu Yutang was extremely excited. She rushed to Xue Youyou, grabbed her shoulders and asked.

As the daughter of the city lord, she can acquire any pet beast on the market, no matter how rare it is, through various means.

However, even though her mother loved her dearly, she was powerless to capture those rare pet beasts that inhabited the legendary forbidden zones of life.

Therefore, she has been fascinated by legendary pets since childhood and is obsessed with the various stories circulating online about encounters between beast tamers and legendary pets.

They firmly believe that legendary pets are the most precious things in the world.

Clearly, unlike Cui Yelan and Su Wanrou's surprise, the fervor in Lu Yutang's eyes was quite abnormal, even somewhat morbid.

Xue Youyou could see the madness hidden deep in Lu Yutang's heart at a glance, and thought to herself, "This is troublesome."

In her past life in online games, there were quite a few enthusiastic players like Lu Yutang, who would do anything to obtain a legendary pet.

"Could you summon the Snow Maiden so I can take a look?" Lu Yutang asked Xue Youyou with great eagerness.

Meng Yanqing, who had personally witnessed the enormous size of the Snow Woman, couldn't help but feel ashamed upon hearing this.

If Xue Youyou really summons the Snow Maiden in the Pet Battle Building.

The scene was simply breathtaking.

This could very well lead to the worst incident in the history of Lanzhi Academy.

Meng Yanqing was about to speak to Lu Yutang to calm down.

Xue Youyou politely declined: "I'm sorry, Xue Nu just finished a battle and is resting. If you want to see her, let's do it another time."

However, after Xue Youyou finished speaking, before Lu Yutang could respond, Cui Yelan spoke first, mocking, "I think you're just bragging. I don't believe you have a Snow Maiden!"

In her view, Xue Youyou's explanation was nothing more than a poor delaying tactic to avoid being exposed.

She simply didn't believe that a bottom-ranked freshman could evolve into a Yuki-onna!

Moreover, the juvenile form of the Snow Woman has always been a mystery in the world of pet studies.

No beast tamer has ever personally witnessed the evolution process of the Snow Woman.

"Use your brains! If snowflakes could really evolve into snow women, they would have been discovered long ago. Would she even have the chance to be the first one?"

After Cui Yelan's reminder, Lu Yutang and Su Wanrou remembered that Xue Youyou's companion pet was Xuehua, and their gazes toward Xue Youyou became strange.

Snowflakes evolve into Yuki-onna (snow woman), at least make the story believable! Why not say Caterpie evolves into Rayquaza?

Xue Youyou glanced at Cui Yelan silently.

What a prickly head!

What did I do to offend her that she had to be so hard on me?

Although the Snow Maiden is not by Xue Youyou's side now, the Beast Tamer can recall the contracted pet to the pet space at any time if he wants.

Now that things had come to this, Xue Youyou was too lazy to say anything more and sent a telepathic message to Shendai Yuki-onna, who was playing games in the dormitory.

Anyway, the Yuki-onna from the Kamishiro era looks pretty much the same as the Yuki-onna, so these locals probably can't tell the difference.

"Snowball, come and do some business."

next second.

A chilling atmosphere filled the training room.

Instantly, the temperature plummeted, water vapor condensed, and a layer of white frost covered the furniture, walls, and floors.

The four people, excluding Xue Youyou, couldn't help but shiver.

A tall girl in a white robe appeared in front of Xue Youyou. The girl was all white and looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of her with a puzzled expression.
