Chapter 55
: Want to learn? I'll teach you!
Meng Yanqing clearly remembered that Xue Youyou confidently said that her strength was not as good as Lin Feiyan's that day, and then she said with great enthusiasm that the two of them should work together to surpass Lin Feiyan as soon as possible.
Looking back now, I just feel like she was a fool who was tricked by Xue Youyou.
All three of them are beast tamers who possess weapon-type pet beasts, but after all this time, it turns out she's the only one who still doesn't know how to sheathe them.
Meng Yanqing felt that her pride had been trampled underfoot.
Seeing that Meng Yan's blue eyes were misty with tears, and that she was actually crying, Xue Youyou immediately tried to defend herself, saying, "I'm innocent! I only said that Xue Nu couldn't take that shot."
Who would have thought that the white lie she told back then wouldn't last three days? She was out of options.
Meng Yanqing naturally didn't buy into Xue Youyou's wordplay. She pouted, feeling increasingly aggrieved, and said, "Still trying to argue? That's exactly what you meant!"
"Moreover, the night we stayed together at Qiyun Residence, you said that Titans are invincible, so why bother learning the Return to Sheath technique? You said that Return to Sheath is just a side path, and you'd be too lazy to learn it even if you had the chance."
Xue Youyou: "..."
She was quite drunk at the time and confided a lot of her innermost thoughts to Meng Yanqing. Normally, she was always humble and polite to outsiders.
More importantly, Xue Youyou really didn't return to her sheath when she was bragging, so she wasn't there to deceive or ambush her. Now she really has to cry foul.
After thinking for a moment, Xue Youyou decided to lay her cards on the table: "If I said I only started practicing these past three days, would you believe me?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Meng Yanqing waved her hand, not believing it at all. She felt that Xue Youyou was making a fool of her again, and replied with a disdainful look: "Youyou, do you really think I'm a fool? How could anyone learn to return to its sheath in three days? You might as well make me believe that you have a divine beast."
Because she knew that even a genius like Lin Feiyan had spent several years mastering the Returning to Sheath technique, and no matter how talented Xue Youyou was, she couldn't possibly shorten that time to three days.
At this moment, Meng Yanqing was unaware that she had inadvertently revealed the truth: Xue Youyou really did have a mythical beast, which she had found in her shop.
"If you truly master the Returning to Sheath technique from scratch during these three days of seclusion, then I, Meng Yanqing, will take your surname." Meng Yanqing's face flushed slightly after she finished speaking.
In this world dominated by beast-taming civilization, although beast tamers all appear as "female" figures as recorded in ancient times, they can have offspring, and the offspring usually take the surname of the more powerful one.
Meng Yanqing's words were essentially saying that the child would take your surname in the future, which is considered a very romantic love confession in the world of beast taming.
However, Xue Youyou, a non-native beast tamer who had transmigrated, couldn't understand at all. She simply thought that Meng Yanqing was just saying it casually to emphasize her point, just like the netizens who used to scam food and drinks for free in her previous life.
Did you actually eat it in the end? If so.
Will the surname really be changed? If so, then.
Xue Youyou didn't take it to heart, and simply said, "Whether you believe it or not, learning to sheath isn't as difficult as you think. The key lies in the scalpel, the wound medicine, and your artistic talent. Three days is more than enough."
"Scalpel, wound medicine, and artistic talent?"
Seeing Xue Youyou speak so eloquently and as if it were the truth, Meng Yanqing was also stunned.
She remembered that Xue Youyou had indeed mentioned the words "artistic talent" to Lin Feiyan, and it seemed that she meant the "sheathing" movement should be elegant. At that time, Lin Feiyan was very grateful after receiving the guidance, and looked as if she wanted to marry him.
Then what are this scalpel and wound medicine?
Meng Yanqing said arrogantly, "I don't believe it unless you teach me."
Meng Tianxiang, who was hiding to the side, shook her head after hearing this, thinking that her silly granddaughter was hopeless. The other person's sheathing technique was many times more powerful than the one that the Yue Lan Lin family had studied for several generations. Why should someone who was not related to her teach her?
These top-secret skills, like rare evolutionary paths, are the foundation of every beast tamer's existence. They are not passed down even to a partner, and are basically passed down only within a single lineage.
If Xue Youyou is truly a teacher, it means she's even more foolish than her own granddaughter.
Obviously, this is unlikely for a shrewd con artist who once freeloaded five million from her granddaughter and stole an orange skill card and a bottle of divine beast essence.
However, Xue Youyou's answer shocked Meng Tianxiang so much that she almost fell out of her hiding place.
Xue Youyou replied generously, "Okay."
Meng Yanqing covered her mouth, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Really?"
She was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect Xue Youyou to actually agree.
Xue Youyou nodded again in affirmation.
Now, Meng Yanqing finally believed that Xue Youyou wasn't joking. While pleasantly surprised, she also asked with some worry, "Then is it legal for you to teach me how to return to my sheath without my permission?"
She assumed that Xue Youyou's Returning Sheath technique was a family tradition, and felt that Xue Youyou's parents would definitely not agree to Xue Youyou teaching the Returning Sheath technique to her friend.
Seeing this, Meng Tianxiang, who was hiding in the shadows, became anxious again. What was this silly guy doing? He didn't know that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, yet he was still pretending to be something he didn't like. She was really fed up with him.
If you really learn this, what are those small losses compared to what you've already experienced? Consider it an investment, a highly profitable business!
Meng Yanqing wasn't in a hurry, but as the grandmother, she was really worried sick for her granddaughter.
Xue Youyou said softly, "Legal? How can it not be legal?"
She said she had already consulted with Guanghanzhan, who was suppressed by the Goddess Yuki-onna in the pet space.
He only agreed after receiving a positive reply from Guanghan Zhan.
Guanghan Zhan's original words were: "I previously ate a lot of pet food from Meng Yanqing's family for free, but in the end, I couldn't sell it. Xue Youyou got it for free. This time, I'm giving back to my former feeder. Although I can't teach the Moon Goddess the personally refined version of Return to Sheath, I can teach the Moon Goddess Palace's general rough version."
With her last concerns gone, Meng Yanqing also let go of her so-called reserve, excitedly shaking Xue Youyou's arm and saying coquettishly, "Then can you teach me quickly? If possible, I want to learn before the league starts, so that we will have a better chance of winning the championship."
No weapon-type beast tamer can resist the temptation of returning to the sheath; it is the ultimate skill that all weapon-type beast tamers dream of, and Meng Yanqing is no exception.
Now that such an opportunity is within easy reach, anyone who isn't anxious would be a genius.
As a fellow beast tamer, Xue Youyou could completely understand Meng Yanqing's current feelings. Without wasting any words, she readily laughed and said, "Then let's just stay in the cultivation room I rented before at Qiyun Residence."
Ku ku ku~, she couldn't wait to see the scene of Guanghan Zhan cutting Meng Yanqing.
She had to make Meng Yanqing experience the same rain that she had been through.
"By the way, do you know where that bottle of divine beast essence in your family's treasure vault came from?" Xue Youyou asked, pretending to be nonchalant.
Meng Yanqing was taken aback upon hearing this, and replied, "I don't know, my grandma never mentioned it. Youyou, do you have a question? Should I go ask my grandma for you?"
Although somewhat disappointed that she hadn't gotten the answer she wanted from Meng Yanqing, Xue Youyou waved her hand dismissively and said, "No need for that. I just suddenly thought of it and wanted to ask. It's not a very important question."
However, it seems that her battle with Meng Tianxiang is ultimately inevitable.
Unbeknownst to Xue Youyou, Meng Tianxiang overheard her seemingly casual question at the end.
After Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing left, Meng Tianxiang immediately appeared in the void where she was hiding. Even though she was an ultimate beast tamer, her body could not stay in the void for a long time.
Meng Tianxiang narrowed her eyes, staring at the direction the two had left in for a long time before slowly saying, "Duan Du Qingming, that girl actually became curious about the source of that bottle of divine beast essence. Do you think she might be a member of the Moon Worship Cult?"
Duan Du Qingming rationally analyzed, "It's not impossible. The people of the Moon Worship Cult all have one thing in common: they all possess a moon-type pet beast. And her Guanghan Slash is not only a moon-type pet beast, but also a divine beast."
Upon hearing this, Meng Tianxiang said menacingly, "You mean, she might still be a high-ranking member of the Moon Worship Cult, or even a Holy Maiden?"
Duan Du Qingming added, "But speaking of which, isn't this Guanghan Zhan evolved from the Moonstone in your shop? Are you senile?"
"Huh!? Is that so...?" Meng Tianxiang was momentarily dumbfounded.
With Duan Du Qingming's reminder, she finally remembered that Meng Yanqing had told her that Xue Youyou had stolen a moonstone from the shop.
After figuring out the pros and cons, Meng Tianxiang couldn't help but gasp.
Simply put, Xue Youyou, this "cutie," got a mythical beast for free!
