A Fallen Heiress

The bet is settled.

At this moment, Meng Yanqing stared at Xue Youyou, her eyes revealing an undisguised strong possessiveness.

In her eyes, Xue Youyou already belonged to her.

The snowflakes also want to learn how to shatter the moon and solidify its essence.

Chun Chun was laughed at.

She originally didn't want to bully the weak.

Who told Xue Youyou to insist on showing off her understanding and even make a bet with her?

The situation has escalated to the point where it's unavoidable to stop.

She couldn't wait to see Xue Youyou dressed as a maid and be bullied by her.

Thinking of this, Meng Yanqing's cheeks flushed slightly with a sickly redness. She spoke with a smug, confident tone, "Are you hoping to pray to a divine beast to change your luck? Or are you hoping to learn the Shattered Moon Essence technique after Snowflake evolves?"

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that it's all in vain."

As a top student, Meng Yanqing knew all the evolution paths of snowflakes in the "Complete Book of Pet Knowledge".

She was extremely confident that none of the snowflake's evolved forms could learn this skill.

Even if Xue Youyou tries to cheat today and drag out the bet until the snowflake evolves, it's destined to be a futile effort.

Faced with Meng Yanqing's sarcastic remarks, Xue Youyou smiled slightly and replied without backing down, "Whether you believe it or not, my snowflakes have learned how to shatter the moon and condense its essence."

"I'd like to thank my senior for finding such a good beast tamer for my future pet."

Meng Yanqing: "..."

She's truly beautiful, and her words are truly stubborn.

Just as Meng Yanqing was mentally ranting about Xue Youyou, what happened next shocked her and completely shattered her worldview.

Xue Youyou picked up the skill card and gently touched the snowflake on her head.

The next second, the skill card "Shattered Moon Essence" transformed into purple light particles and entered Snowflake's body.

The hexagonal shell trembled slightly, its body shimmering with purple light.

After flashing three times briefly, it returns to normal.

The snowflakes let out a melodious chirping.

"Lulu lulu~"

As a beast tamer, Meng Yanqing was naturally very familiar with this tone.

This is usually a satisfied sound that a pet makes when it eats its favorite food or feels happy because it has become stronger.

That is to say-

Meng Yanqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You actually learned it?!"

That's it?!

Moreover, the entire skill learning process is incredibly smooth.

It only flashed three times before absorbing the skill card.

There is no obstruction whatsoever.

Snowflakes can actually learn to shatter the moon and condense its essence!

This world has gone completely mad!

Could it be a mistake in the textbook?

Or perhaps Xue Youyou stumbled upon a lucky coincidence, as this snowflake happened to be a rare genius pet with astonishing learning ability.

After all, there are indeed occasional special cases where water-type pets learn fire-type ultimate moves.

Meng Yanqing's expression was complex, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

But whatever the reason, she lost the bet.

"You won." Meng Yanqing was unwilling to accept it, but at the same time, she was very curious. It felt like ants were crawling inside her, and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Can you tell me why your snowflakes can learn to condense the essence of the shattered moon?"

"If I remember correctly, according to the 'Complete Book of Pet Knowledge,' there is no record of Snowflake learning the skill 'Shattered Moon Essence' in any of its evolutionary paths."

Xue Youyou was taken aback by his words, tilted her head, and asked in return, "Who wrote these roadside pamphlets? Aren't they just harming people?"

The Bible in her heart was disliked by Xue Youyou, although Meng Yanqing wanted to refute it by saying that it was the most authoritative encyclopedia in the pet world.

But now that she had seen it for herself, she was too embarrassed to keep praising the "Complete Book of Pet Knowledge" and asked with clasped hands, "Please enlighten me."

Seeing Meng Yanqing's sincere attitude, Xue Youyou also gave her a brief answer to her question.

"Many pets will exhibit an increase in attributes after evolution, going from having a single attribute to having multiple attributes."

"Among the many evolutionary paths of snowflakes, there is one path that will evolve into a dual-attribute pet beast of ice and moonlight types in the complete form stage."

"Learning a dual-attribute skill of Ice and Moonlight is one of the evolutionary conditions."

That's right, one of the evolution paths of Yuki Onna, the complete form Oborozuki Yuki-no-Otoko, is a dual-attribute pet with both ice and moonlight attributes.

One of its evolutionary conditions—

[Learn at least one skill with both Ice and Moon attributes]

Skills with specific dual attributes are actually very rare.

Even if you specifically go looking for it, it might not be easy to find.

Xue Youyou was still having a headache about this matter, but she didn't expect to meet Suiyue Ninghua at this store. It was fate that brought them together.

This not only adds a powerful attack skill to Yuki-onna, but also solves a very difficult condition for subsequent evolution.

This is why Xue Youyou was unusually excited when she saw the Broken Moon Essence.

After listening to the explanation, Meng Yanqing was quite surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, "Snowflakes actually have such a complete evolutionary form!"

Since Xue Youyou had already said so much, she could vaguely guess that Xue Youyou's snowflake had probably evolved, or perhaps it was an evolved form that she didn't know about.

Could this mysterious evolution condition be some kind of 999-game losing streak?

Despite her curiosity, Meng Yanqing wisely refrained from asking further questions.

After all, the evolution path of a rare pet is always the biggest secret of a beast tamer, and its value is immeasurable. It is something that will never be easily told to others.

Although "The Complete Book of Pet Knowledge" includes many evolutionary paths.

But she also knew that many ancient families or super organizations had a lot of confidential information about pets.

Thinking about it this way, Meng Yanqing's gaze toward Xue Youyou took on a slightly different quality.

But then again.

Even for scions of wealthy families, paying back debts and indulging in sexual favors is a matter of course.

If you can't even afford a purple skill card, you must be down on your luck.

Xue Youyou never expected that her simple display of understanding would lead Meng Yanqing to mistake her for a fallen noblewoman.

Even if she knew, Xue Youyou would just laugh it off.

My family, we've really fallen on hard times.

After answering Meng Yanqing's question, her attention was entirely focused on the pet section of the shop.

"Since I won, according to the bet, I can take any one home, right?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing's eyes twitched slightly, and she emphasized the error in Xue Youyou's words: "It is to choose any young pet beast."

Xue Youyou's gaze immediately hardened, and she said righteously, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be greedy for such petty gains?"

Meng Yanqing rolled her eyes at Xue Youyou, utterly speechless: "It's not a small favor, and I think it is."

Now that she's in the situation, she finally understands that she's been completely scammed.

Xue Youyou was clearly 100% sure, but she pretended to be a newbie and wanted to gamble with her.

Turns out this guy isn't stupid after all.

"I'm not like that," Xue Youyou said softly, her lips barely moving as she protested Meng Yanqing's slander.

At the same time, her gaze swept across the transparent display cases showcasing the pets one by one.

Bubble lizards, fluffy cotton canaries, fire-fanged dogs, venomous horned snakes, lightning finches... these are all common pets that are abundant in the wild, with an average price of around 10,000 yuan.

Most of the companion beasts awakened by beast tamers are like this, and even many beast tamers' second pets.

Rare pets like Rending Wind, Illusion Leaf, Star Flash, and Moonstone start at millions of Alliance Coins, making them far more expensive than ordinary pets and beyond the reach of ordinary students.

And that's not even the most expensive part; four pets are placed in the most eye-catching positions.

Green Wood, White Spirit, Phoenix Cry, Black Ink.

A super rare pet beast known as one of the Four Symbols.

Each one is worth tens of millions of Alliance Coins.
