“Um, Yin Yue… is our second companion really going to be here?” Luo Ning couldn’t help asking with subconscious doubt.
Luo Ning’s gaze swept over the desolate unfinished building area before her.
Twisted steel bars crisscrossed, broken bricks and discarded construction materials piled up messily.
“Yes, we’re almost there.”
“Also, I’m only an Apprentice Beast Tamer right now. When we meet her, how do I complete the contract with her?”
Luo Ning recalled that a Beast Tamer’s contract space level wasn’t high enough to contract pets of corresponding levels and numbers.
The Beast Taming Space could accelerate pet growth, but the pet’s level and quantity couldn’t exceed the space’s capacity limit, otherwise it would backlash against the Beast Tamer’s spirit.
If the spiritual power wasn’t enough to sustain it, it could even endanger the Beast Tamer’s life in severe cases.
“Master, haven’t you noticed? Your contract array is white. Your spiritual power has actually already reached the requirements of an Intermediate Beast Tamer.”
“Yesterday, after my Cute Girl Evolution, my state was fully restored. With the help of the Super-Class Technique ‘Moonlight Like Silk’ condensed Moonlight Power and the Bond Enhancement from Master’s ‘Spirit Contract Maidening,’ I reached the High Monarch Level.
“The reason you weren’t backlashed by me is that we have actually reached a flow state called ‘Heart-to-Heart Connection.’ Your spiritual power consumption is borne by me.”
“Huh? Is that really the case?”
Intermediate Beast Tamer? That seems right!
When she contracted Yin Yue before, her contract array was white!
She remembered that Apprentice and Junior Beast Tamers had colorless and gray contract arrays respectively.
“It’s purely because of Master’s unconditional trust. Yin Yue can feel it.”
“But Yin Yue, won’t that be a heavy burden on you?” Luo Ning still asked with some concern.
“Master, please rest assured. Yin Yue can bear it.”
“Well, okay…” Luo Ning finally felt relieved.
“Yin Yue, there’s one more thing… actually, I can walk too… could you put me down first?”
Luo Ning was actually being princess-carried steadily by Yin Yue.
Luo Ning’s cheeks flushed with a faint blush. Her hands awkwardly pressed lightly against Yin Yue’s shoulders. Combined with the praise from before, her tone carried a hint of embarrassment.
Especially when Yin Yue ran while holding her, Luo Ning didn’t feel any jolts at all—they were all buffered by Yin Yue’s cushioning.
Also, Luo Ning only now noticed that the Moonlight Combat Suit on Yin Yue seemed to be made from her original silver-white wolf fur…
Light and form-fitting was actually its first advantage. It outlined Yin Yue’s well-proportioned and taut figure perfectly. Her limbs were smooth and powerful, seemingly slender but containing explosive strength. Her petite frame combined agility and flexibility.
Yin Yue looked down at the master in her arms, showing no intention of putting her down. Her wolf ears and perky nose twitched slightly, but her steps didn’t stop as she leisurely walked over the broken bricks.
“Master isn’t wearing shoes, so it’s more convenient for me to carry you. Please bear with it for a while.”
The wolf-eared girl’s cool voice fell on her ears, gentle yet with an unrefusable stubbornness.
Luo Ning’s face blushed even more uncontrollably. When she was brought out by Yin Yue earlier, it was too hasty, so she only had white silk stockings on her feet…
She pursed her lips in embarrassment, her fingers unconsciously curling slightly, the pressure against Yin Yue’s shoulder easing a bit more.
“Okay… okay. So how do we find her next?”
“Normally, she should come to you on her own. She probably saw what happened yesterday too…”
“Huh? She… saw it?”
“Yes.” Yin Yue nodded slightly.
In her previous life, Master “accidentally” found her, which was probably a “meet-cute” scenario deliberately set up by the other party.
“If I’m not mistaken, she has noticed our arrival.”
Yin Yue slowly walked to the center of the empty building and stopped. Her sensitive wolf ears twitched slightly as she carefully captured the subtle fluctuations of aura around her.
“But… this place looks completely empty. There’s no sign of anyone.” Luo Ning muttered softly, her gaze sweeping over the layers of dilapidated floors, confusion in her eyes.
“Hey hey! Kunkun, you lost again this time? That’s really disappointing…”
Li Changqing’s erratic voice suddenly echoed throughout the unfinished building area.
“Rooooar!!!” Yun Bai Feng Jing was anxious.
A distant whale cry sounded above the unfinished building area. Within a sea of clouds, the massive silhouette of Yun Bai Feng Jing gradually emerged.
What the hell!
Yun Bai Feng Jing even wanted to curse.
You think you can do better?!
What else could he do? The other party was small and came with a no-cooldown blink, scurrying back and forth like a rat in the city’s alleys.
How could he, a cloud-white wind-whale of such massive size, chase them in the sky?
Just sensing the airflow and wind direction to find the person was giving the whale a headache.
“And that pink-haired little sister being princess-carried, called Luo Ning, right? You don’t want others to know your true identity is a one-meter-eight real man with a dick, do you?”
“???” Luo Ning.
“Dammit! You have a Yinyue Lang, fine, but the Yinyue Lang can even turn into such a beautiful beast-eared girl!”
“Kunkun, why can’t you turn into a beast-eared girl?”
“…” Yun Bai Feng Jing.
Fuck! (A type of status)
Yun Bai Feng Jing had had enough!
I am a male!
Yun Bai Feng Jing directly used Whale Spout!
Splash!!!
A surging and majestic giant water column blasted out, turning into sky-full of water droplets that directly exploded the sea of clouds!
“What the hell! Kunkun, you… abababab…”
Li Changqing didn’t even have time to say a word of rebuttal. He was directly caught in the widespread water spray and drenched from head to toe.
Above the sea of clouds, the massive wind-whale’s outline trembled slightly, exuding full contempt in its invisible aura.
It even closed Li Changqing’s Wind Barrier for a second time, letting the high-altitude gale ravage him.
“…” Luo Ning.
“…” Yin Yue.
Watching the one-man-one-whale commotion in the sky, Luo Ning’s mouth twitched slightly. She looked at Yin Yue with suspicion in her eyes: “Yin Yue, that whale uncle… is really my… that (teacher)?”
Yin Yue fell silent.
She subconsciously recalled her previous life master’s various erratic operations, and seemed to have found the culprit in her heart.
“Let’s… ignore him for now. Master, please hold me tight. I’m going to enter the Hidden Secret Realm here.”
Luo Ning quickly tightened her arms and obediently wrapped them around Yin Yue’s neck.
Yin Yue’s gaze sharpened, and a faint layer of moonlight radiance rippled around her again.
The dilapidated unfinished building gradually disappeared from view.
As the light and shadow faded, underfoot was no longer the uneven broken bricks and rubble, but a flat, cold alloy floor with metallic sheen.
The surroundings also shed their desolate and ruined appearance, replaced by a vast and deep massive space.
Luo Ning subconsciously loosened her arms and looked around in shock.
At the end of her line of sight, a huge object lurked silently in the center of the secret realm, instantly locking the gaze of both.
“Wh-wh-wh-wh… what the hell?!”
It was a massive silver-gray battleship, with mottled cracks and dented scars visible everywhere on its hull. Some armor panels had fallen off, exposing pipelines. It had clearly endured years and war damage, showing its dilapidation.
Yet even so, the smooth and sharp contours of the hull, the intricately arranged precision components and embedded weapon modules still exuded a strong futuristic sci-fi feel, its imposing aura undiminished.
“This, this is…” Luo Ning’s eyes widened. She had never expected that the hidden secret realm of the dilapidated unfinished building would contain something so unimaginable.
Yin Yue still held Luo Ning as she slowly stepped forward, her cool eyes looking at a certain cabin of the battleship, her nose twitching slightly.
But she had only taken a few steps when the energy patterns on the battleship’s surface suddenly lit up with glaring scarlet light. A main turret silently rose, and a glaring blue orb gathered at its muzzle.
The next moment, a condensed laser beam shot through the air, carrying terrifying heat directly at the two, completely blocking the path ahead!
“!!!” Luo Ning.
Luo Ning’s pupils contracted sharply, her heart tightening instantly.
Wait! Wasn’t she supposed to be a companion?!
Why is she attacking on first sight?!
But Yin Yue’s expression didn’t change. A faint light flickered at her feet, and her moonlight suddenly surged.
Silver Fang Moon Flash!!!
The high-level movement skill called “Silver Fang Moon Flash” instantly activated. Holding Luo Ning, her figure moved like a crescent moon shadow, cleanly and swiftly leaving the laser’s sweep area, perfectly dodging the deadly beam.
The scorching beam grazed past them and struck the alloy floor. A piercing hum sounded, and the hard metal surface instantly melted into a deep black trail, with wisps of white smoke rising.
Yin Yue landed steadily, her arms holding Luo Ning always firm and strong without the slightest tremor.
“Shuo Ling, deactivate your self-defense functions!”
Her silver-white wolf ears stood up slightly, her cool gaze fixed on the pitch-black, cold battleship hull.
Then, without warning, she slowly began to chant a melody that even Luo Ning couldn’t understand.
As the melody sounded, the ready scarlet cannon light on the battleship paused slightly.
“What is this…” Luo Ning could feel the entire massive battleship seemed to be trembling.
As the last note of Yin Yue’s melody faded, the originally wildly flowing blood-red energy patterns froze instantly. All the cannon muzzles aimed at them flickered and dimmed, as if Yin Yue’s song had pressed the pause button.
Had Yin Yue done something to this battleship?
“Shuo Ling, come out. Let’s have a proper talk.”
Yin Yue gently set Luo Ning down and, holding her hand, spoke to the battleship.
After a brief dead silence, a deep, prolonged mechanical core tremor sounded from deep within the hull.
“You… you you how do you know the commands Shuo Ling set?! Who exactly are you!”
A completely off-beat, ethereal female voice came from the battleship, but the voice seemed to contain barely concealed shock, panic, and disbelief.
Did not expect that
