Chapter 78

Everyone step aside, I'm about to start showing off.

On the deck of the airship.

Long Xi carried Su Wanrou with one hand, and no one dared to step forward.

Two minutes had passed since Long Xi issued the ultimatum, and Xue Youyou was still nowhere to be seen.

Not only did the students think Xue Youyou was already yo-yoing, but even Long Xi couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Could this girl have really run away?

"Am I about to start the countdown?"

"three!"

"two!"

Long Xi paused for a moment, then, against the backdrop of Su Wanrou's deathly pale face, silently finished reading the last number: "One!"

The countdown ended, but Xue Youyou still didn't appear.

Su Wanrou immediately cried out in her heart, "I'm doomed!" and almost fainted.

Long Xi curled her lip and said, "Fine, it seems your captain has decided to let the gecko shed its tail."

Upon hearing this, all the students of Lanzhi Academy lowered their heads, unable to bear to look at Su Wanrou's appearance before her death.

Even though they were the next unlucky one, and the one after that, no one dared to speak up in protest.

This is the oppressive feeling brought by the ultimate beast tamer.

With their mediocre skills, any real resistance would only make them a laughingstock, no different from trying to push someone's shoe with their head.

The students understood this principle, and so did Lu Yuan.

At this moment, all they could do was pray that Long Xi would kill slowly, kill fewer people, and leave more survivors.

Although the words are harsh and cruel, this is the current reality.

One second they were dreaming and looking forward to their brilliant performance in the league, and now they have to face the life-and-death separation from their classmates and teammates.

Everyone closed their eyes in anguish, awaiting their fate.

Just as Long Xi was about to throw Su Wanrou off the airship to add to the excitement, an untimely door opening sound rang out.

Crunch-!

Behind the group from Lanzhiyuan, the titanium alloy intelligent mechanical door leading to the deck was opened.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"They finally showed up."

Upon seeing who it was, Long Xi's lips curled up slightly, and she put down Su Wanrou, who had been lifted off the ground by her for a long time.

However, after Su Wanrou's feet were back on the deck, Long Xi still gently placed one hand on her shoulder, not allowing her to leave.

Under the hazy moonlight.

A beautiful young woman, wearing a bathrobe as a cape, strode out from behind the door with unparalleled style.

Visibly, beneath the bathrobe cloak, large expanses of fair skin were occasionally revealed with Xue Youyou's movements, as supple as milk and as flawless as snowflakes.

Many students with poor self-control were so enraged by this scene that they felt a rush of blood to their heads, their noses burned, and shamefully, they shed tomato sauce.

"You, you, you..." Lu Yuan stared at Xue Youyou in disbelief, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Unlike the students who hoped Long Xi would show mercy, Lu Yuan knew very well that from the moment Long Xi introduced himself, there was no way he would let them go.

The reason she watched helplessly as Su Wanrou fell into Long Xi's hands without leading everyone in a final resistance was because she considered that Xue Youyou and Meng Yanqing's continued absence likely meant they had gone to fetch reinforcements.

As the teacher in charge, her most important task at this moment was to save as many people as possible before Meng Tianxiang's support arrived.

This is why she has been kneeling on the ground without uttering a sound since just now, and it is also the last glimmer of hope remaining in her heart.

After all that, Xue Youyou, Meng Yanqing, and Lu Yutang all came out directly from behind the door, without going to ask for help as Lu Yuan had expected.

What's the point of playing this game?!

Lu Yuan's expression at this moment was quite interesting. She wanted to shout and curse these three idiots, but after thinking about it, she lowered her head in frustration.

Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well all go together happily and peacefully.

Xue Youyou walked past her classmates as if no one else was there, and then passed by Lu Yuan, teasingly saying, "Dean, what are you doing sitting on the ground? Before we set off, we swore together to bring glory to Lanzhi Academy and let the world see the beast tamers of Lanzhi City."

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

She wanted to say what was the point of saying these things now, but Xue Youyou's words inexplicably touched the softest part of her heart, where long-dormant passion and enthusiasm surged forth, and memories of her youth kept surfacing. She had once been a fierce and unyielding beast tamer, and Lu Yuan's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Hey!

They did it to her in a whirlwind of sex before she was even dead!

Not only Lu Yuan, but everyone in Lan Zhi Yuan lowered their heads in shame after hearing this.

Before Lu Yuan could respond, Xue Youyou floated past her and stopped about five meters in front of Long Xi.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on these two people.

Long Xi raised an eyebrow slightly: "You're Xue Youyou?"

Xue Youyou smiled slightly and replied calmly, "If you're going to give me face, you can call me the third best in the world. If you're not going to give me face, it doesn't matter what you call me."

Upon hearing this, Long Xi burst into laughter, her body trembling with mirth. It took her a while to recover. She wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Third in the world? Haha, you're really something."

The people in Lanzhi Courtyard looked at Xue Youyou with strange expressions, all thinking that she had gone mad on the verge of death.

Xue Youyou didn't care about what others thought. In front of Long Xi, she glanced subtly at Lin Yueyao in the crowd, but didn't expose her. She simply asked, "I heard that your boss said it himself?"

Long Xi replied with a smile, "It's not just what the boss said, but something I heard myself and brought out."

"However, I don't think anyone would believe that, do you think?"

Xue Youyou immediately nodded in agreement, stating, "Anyway, I don't think it's reliable."

"Haha, looks like you're pretty sensible..."

"I mean it's too low."

Interrupted by Xue Youyou, Long Xi's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously asked, "What's low?"

Xue Youyou's lips curled upwards: "Of course it's because you look down on people... you, and your boss too."

These words caused an uproar among the people of Lanzhiyuan.

To everyone's surprise, Xue Youyou dared to openly provoke the ultimate beast tamer.

Such insane behavior is like turning on a light in the toilet—it's suicidal!

Upon hearing this, Long Xi's expression changed drastically, and his face instantly darkened.

Just then, a night breeze blew between the two, causing Xue Youyou and Long Xi's long hair to flutter, and the atmosphere on the field became tense.

"Hehehe..."

Long Xi suddenly chuckled sinisterly, his hand, which had been resting on Su Wanrou's shoulder, now pressed against her throat, gently caressing it. Under Su Wanrou's terrified gaze, he stared at Xue Youyou and slowly said, "Do you know what the consequences are of angering an ultimate beast tamer?"

Anyone could tell that Long Xi's words were filled with murderous intent.

If Xue Youyou gives even one wrong answer, Su Wanrou will likely lose her head.

However, Xue Youyou smiled slightly, ignoring Long Xi's threat, and asked without any fear, "If you don't understand, will you tell me?"

"certainly."

Long Xi adopted the tone of an elder educating a younger person, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you've probably only ever fought against other beast tamers in the virtual space so far, living in an ivory tower where even if you lose a battle, it's just a loss plus one."

"Do you want to know what happens when a beast tamer loses a battle in the wild?"

As he spoke, Long Xi pulled a dagger from his waist, twirled it beautifully, and then pressed it against Su Wanrou's throat.

"Waaaaah—!"

Su Wanrou turned pale with fright and looked at Xue Youyou with pleading eyes, hoping that Xue Youyou could say something nice to help her.

Unexpectedly, Xue Youyou's expression darkened, and she stared straight at Long Xi, exuding righteous indignation, saying, "Do you think the beast tamers of our Blue Willow City are cowards who fear death?"

"If you really think that way, you're sorely mistaken! I'm telling you today, every Beastmaster who leaves Blue Willow City is a true heroine!"

"We are not afraid of dying!"

Su Wanrou: "???"
