The Beast Tamer Who Knows How to Track the Most in Yuelanzhou

After finishing their celebratory dinner together, it was nearly midnight. The six of them said their goodbyes and went home to their respective mothers.

The night was silent except for the chirping of insects.

Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing walked side by side on the deserted street.

Meng Yanqing still finds everything that happened today somewhat unreal.

She had prepared herself to fight again next year, but she didn't expect Xue Youyou to be much stronger than she had imagined.

Meng Yanqing patted her chest with lingering fear: "I almost thought I was going to fail in the preliminary rounds. When I first heard tonight that Lei Ying was going to compete, I was almost scared to death. Luckily, Youyou, you're a cut above the rest."

After a moment of silence, Xue Youyou replied, "She is indeed very strong."

Lei Ying's strength led her to believe that the indigenous people of this world were not entirely incompetent.

If the Snow Woman of the Goddess of the Ages hadn't been fortunate enough to embark on the path of mythology, she might have met with disaster today.

There are some really impressive people in this world too.

At least it was the first time she had ever heard of such a peculiar life form as Princess Lightning, Lei Ying.

Xue Youyou felt a little conflicted about this. Her instinct as a beast tamer made her want to subdue this promising pet, but the fact that the other party was both a pet and a beast tamer made Xue Youyou feel a little strange about forming a contract with the beast tamer.

Meng Yanqing was unaware of Xue Youyou's thoughts. Seeing the conflicted look on Xue Youyou's face, she assumed she was worried about losing to Lei Ying next time, so she encouraged her, saying, "Don't worry, you're so strong, I believe you'll definitely win next time you meet her!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou looked at Meng Yanqing with a puzzled expression.

Seeing this, Meng Yanqing realized she had misunderstood and scratched her head sheepishly, saying, "I thought you were worried about this because you seemed so conflicted."

Xue Youyou said silently, "I just feel sorry for Lei Ying."

Meng Yanqing asked curiously, "What's a pity?"

Xue Youyou put her hands behind her back and sighed softly, "I feel sorry for her for missing the only chance in her life to defeat me. In today's battle, she revealed all her tricks. If she meets me again in the future, she will definitely lose."

The snowflake perched on Xueyouyou's head seemed to agree, making a smug sound: "Ruru ruru~"

Meng Yanqing was speechless.

Then, the two walked quietly for a while.

As they rounded a street corner, Meng Yanqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Speaking of which, Youyou, what evolutionary path did your Yuki-onna follow?"

Without any hesitation, Xue Youyou replied instantly, "It's a secret."

Meng Yanqing was not surprised at all by Xue Youyou's lightning-fast rejection.

Actually, during the celebration banquet tonight, whenever the topic of the Snow Woman from the Goddess Era came up, Yuki Yuu would always choose to laugh it off and brush it off.

Everyone's not stupid; they can all see that Xue Youyou is deliberately avoiding this topic.

The fact that Yuki-onna has always fought in her mature form suggests either that she is hiding her true strength or that she possesses other unspeakable secrets.

Furthermore, when everyone asked Yuki Yuuyu about the name of the Yuki-onna from the Shindai era today, Yuki Yuuyu answered very readily.

Therefore, this unspeakable secret may very well lie in the evolutionary path.

Detective Xiaoqing believes she has grasped the key point.

I had originally planned to surprise Xue Youyou with a question to steal the answer, but unfortunately, Xue Youyou didn't fall for it.

However, Meng Yanqing still didn't give up. She hugged Xue Youyou's arm and rubbed against it, trying to coax her, "Youyou, you can't even tell me~".

"No way." Xue Youyou wasn't falling for that. She was known as the Sigma Beastmaster who didn't care about family ties, so how could she fall for such a low-level honey trap?

Meng Yanqing pouted and said in a huffy, coquettish voice, "It's just one of the six categories, what's wrong with saying it? Is it some new category or something?"

Xue Youyou remained steadfast in her principles: "Stop guessing, no means no."

"What the hell?"

"..."

Before long, the two arrived at the foot of Qiyun Residence while chatting.

Initially, Meng Yanqing brought Xue Youyou to live here to help her escape Meng Tianxiang's pursuit.

Naturally, the two became a legitimate cohabiting couple.

As time went on, Meng Tianxiang, the instigator of all this, suddenly disappeared, causing their legitimate cohabitation relationship to turn into a cohabitation relationship that could end at any time.

During this short period of cohabitation, which lasted less than half a month, what Meng Yanqing regretted the most was that, apart from the first night of cohabitation, either Xue Youyou was in seclusion or she herself was in seclusion.

She might as well sheathe her sword and not practice tonight; now that Xue Youyou is right in front of her, she has to consider whether this is one of only two opportunities in her life.

Meng Yanqing tiptoed, her lips close to Xue Youyou's ear, and asked with a charming smile, "Want to take a bath together later?"

Looking at Meng Yanqing's rosy cheeks, Xue Youyou's heart fluttered a little, but she still said, "You go ahead and wash up. I have something urgent to attend to, I'll come back later."

Before Meng Yanqing could react, Xue Youyou turned and walked into the shadows of the street.

Xue Youyou walked until she was out of Meng Yanqing's sight before stopping.

As the snow stopped falling, a mature and beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent emerald green dress emerged from the void.

Meng Tianxiang looked at Xue Youyou and smiled slightly, "Would you like to have a drink?"

Xue Youyou nodded: "Okay."

A few minutes later, the two walked into a nicely decorated coffee shop next to Qiyunju and sat down on either side of a long table by the window.

The waiter was stunned when he saw the two men's faces. After regaining his senses, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully asked, "Good evening, gentlemen. Would you like something to drink?"

Meng Tianxiang said elegantly, "Earl Grey tea, the usual, thank you."

"Okay, one Earl Grey tea, please." After taking the note, the waiter turned to Xue Youyou: "And what about Miss Xue?"

Xue Youyou picked up the menu, glanced at it, thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly, saying, "Iced tea, thank you."

The waiter paused, then opened his mouth, "Iced tea?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No...no, I'll go make you two some right away!"

After the waiter left, Meng Tianxiang said reproachfully, "I've had tea with many people, but you're the first one to order iced tea."

Faced with Meng Tianxiang's reproach, Xue Youyou calmly replied, "Is that so... I think only iced tea is worthy of Lord Qingming's Earl Grey tea."

Hearing the implication in Xue Youyou's words, Meng Tianxiang couldn't help but chuckle a few times. Then, she took out the challenge letter signed by Xue Youyou, slapped it on the table, and stared into Xue Youyou's eyes, saying, "So, this challenge letter really was written by you."

"Of course." Xue Youyou met Meng Tianxiang's gaze with a smile.

Unlike when they first met, Meng Tianxiang didn't find Xue Youyou's actions rude at all. Her gaze towards Xue Youyou was full of admiration as she said, "I guess the reason you want to fight me is to find out where that bottle of divine beast essence came from. Am I right?"

Xue Youyou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She thought to herself that she had only said this to Meng Yanqing, and at the time she had specifically mentioned that Meng Yanqing did not need to ask Meng Tianxiang. So she asked, "Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with Meng Yanqing?"

If it were based on the stealth ability of the Ultimate Void Species Duan Du Qingming, it would be normal that she and Meng Yanqing would not be able to detect her.

However, Meng Tianxiang would never admit to eavesdropping on the conversation of the juniors. She immediately said guiltily, "What are you talking about? How could I, a dignified ultimate beast tamer, possibly eavesdrop on the conversation of two juniors? Yan Qing sent me a message asking about the origin of the divine beast essence, and that's how I found out."

"Oh." Xue Youyou nodded noncommittally. Based on the change in Meng Tianxiang's tone, she was almost 200% certain that Meng Tianxiang had eavesdropped on her conversation with Meng Yanqing.

It might not even be that bad; to think even worse, Meng Tianxiang might have been secretly following him these past few days.

Including the fact that she happened to hear Xue Youyou's secret telepathic message when she arrived at Qiyun Residence just now, such a coincidence is hard to believe if Xue Youyou hadn't been following her all the way.

No wonder there's been no movement these past few days; it turns out they've been doing these shady, underhanded things.

The ultimate beast tamer, ranked among the four marquises, is actually a stalker!

Thinking of this, Xue Youyou wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a sense of dread.

Family members, we're all sweating a bit!
