Chapter 262: Collection

Twelve long feather chains floated behind Mingxi as she walked, as if someone had draped a unique and gorgeous cloak over her.

This pet beast was, of course, Golden Yuanbao, wearing a pet beast shrinking bracelet.

Now, it looked more like a primary pet beast that had just hatched not long ago.

“I remember when you first contracted with me, you also liked to stay on my shoulder like this.”

Mingxi sighed with emotion, turning her head to meet Golden Yuanbao’s gaze.

It didn’t make a sound, only watched her quietly.

Mingxi lowered her head, gently bumped its ‘crown’ with her forehead, and said with a smile, “Let’s take the subway home today.”

Just like that day.

That night, Fu Yifan came to Mingxi’s house and took away the Qingkong Bone Dragon Egg for a massive sum of 1 billion.

Originally, Mingxi only intended to sell it to him at the original price, but he offered so much that she, a suddenly rich pauper, simply couldn’t refuse.

July 30th was another scorching hot day.

Mingxi walked into the place where she would study for the next three years for the first time.

In front of Tide Beast High School’s No. 2 Gymnasium.

Young men and women in the prime of their lives were squatting, sitting, or standing, each accompanied by one or two powerful pet beasts.

“Hey, Luo, the great scholar, do you know how many special trainees from our school are participating in this Joint Training Camp? And who else hasn’t arrived yet?”

The boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, whose build was between strong and slender, raised his hand and draped his arm over the shoulder of the boy next to him who was wearing black-rimmed glasses.

The bespectacled boy looked a bit like Harry Potter before he went awry, cute and adorable.

His left hand held a copy of “International Law” thicker than a platform shoe, a fashion item for hot girls, and his right hand quickly flipped through the pages.

Luo Ta closed the book and pushed the glasses on his nose.

“How many could there be? Ten, right? Which year isn’t that number? As for who else hasn’t arrived...”

His gaze swept over the seven people present, excluding himself and the team leader, “It should be Qing Cheng from Class 9 and Ke Yuanyuan from Class 13. They are the only strong ones left in our grade who aren’t here.”

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Qing Cheng and Ke Yuanyuan, whom he spoke of, arrived together.

“As expected of our school’s strongest scholar, you really guessed it right.” Jian Lian smiled and bumped Luo Ta’s shoulder again.

Then she shouted loudly to a woman not far away, who was sitting lazily on the back of a large white lion, with her legs askew and yawning:

“Teacher Chen, everyone is here, can we depart now?”

Chen Haiyan glanced at him lazily, “What’s the rush? There’s still one student who hasn’t arrived.”

“Still?!”

Upon hearing this, not only Jian Lian and Luo Ta, but the other eight people were all stunned.

“Who else? That’s not right, did our school get 11 special training slots this time?”

The ten students all looked at Chen Haiyan.

Chen Haiyan raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned again, her charming eyes like silk, her allure simply captivating.

This made several boys present blush uncontrollably.

She let out a charming laugh, “Who said they were special trainees? She’s different from you. She’s here for a trial training.”

“What?! There’s a trial trainee this year too?”

“So, it’s a junior or senior high school student? Teacher Chen, who’s the lucky one?”

Chen Haiyan, however, did not explain further, a smile curving her fiery red lips, and she threw a charming glance that implied they would know soon enough.

“Excuse me, is Teacher Chen Haiyan here?”

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.

Everyone looked over in unison, and saw a young girl wearing a black mask ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) and a white hoodie slowly walking towards them.

A shiny-feathered bird pet beast was perched on her shoulder, and a very beautiful multicolored Ice Extremity Cat followed by her left side.

What was strange was that a small crescent moon hung above the girl’s head, emitting wisps of cold air.

It seemed to isolate the area where she was into a separate space.

Upon seeing her, Chen Haiyan’s eyes flashed, and she leaped off the back of the large white lion, swaying her slender waist as she walked towards the girl.

She lowered her gaze and scrutinized the girl for a few moments, her eyes gleaming repeatedly.

“Hello, Ming. I am Chen Haiyan.”

She then looked at the bird pet on the girl’s shoulder, her pupils contracting rapidly and uncontrollably several times.

The girl was, of course, Mingxi.

She was also scrutinizing the sexy, fairy-like female teacher in front of her.

How interesting.

This female teacher was simply too striking; she was wearing a diagonally buttoned cheongsam with a slit up to her thigh, and eight-centimeter high heels, revealing her long, straight, and fair legs.

This face, this chest, this waist, these legs...

A true temptress.

This person in front of her was even three points more beautiful than the auctioneer named Qin Wanyun who hosted the Ten Thousand Dynasties Auction a few days ago.

Even she, a beautiful young girl, couldn’t help but drool, so wouldn’t those young boys in high school, with their surging hormones and dopamine, be banging their heads against the wall?

Mingxi felt that the principal of Tide High School was either a pervert or someone who knew how to stir things up.

Or perhaps this female teacher was very capable.

“Sorry, I seem to be late.”

After admiring the beauty, Mingxi looked around and realized that she seemed to be the last to arrive.

Chen Haiyan smiled and shook her head: “No need to apologize, you’re not late. The school notice said to gather at eight, and it’s only seven-thirty now.”

Besides, this child was coming to school for the first time and was unfamiliar with the surroundings, so it would be understandable even if she were truly late.

Jian Lian and the other ten stared at this completely unfamiliar girl with astonished expressions, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Chen, is she the trial trainee for our school this year?”

Chen Haiyan curled her lips, knowing what they were curious about, “Yes, she is a first-year new student this year.”

The boys burst into an uproar.

“It’s a new student! A new student can participate in the Joint Training Camp trial?”

“Who is this person? Does anyone know her?”

“Never seen her before.”

“She’s even wearing a mask, so her face isn’t clear at all, but being so mysterious, could she be a celebrity?”

“Maybe she’s the little princess of some wealthy family? With a little help from her family, she can easily get a trial slot. Haven’t there always been people like that in previous years?”

“Impossible! Look, her first pet beast is a mutated Ice Extremity Cat. What wealthy young lady would contract a mutated pet beast? That’s too embarrassing.”

Because Golden Yuanbao was in its shrunken form, and these people were all weaker than Mingxi, no one could discern Golden Yuanbao’s true strength; they all mistook it for a primary pet beast.

Little Silver Flower was also lying in the hat, blowing snot bubbles.

So, Lan Yue, the younger brother with intermediate strength, turned into the boss and was recognized by everyone as Mingxi’s first pet beast.

“Maybe it’s because her awakened talent is not bad. She already has two pet beasts before even officially enrolling in high school, so she can barely be considered a genius.”

“That works? Didn’t I also have two pet beasts before officially starting school back then? The school didn’t give me a trial slot!”
