Chapter 500: Three Options

Chu Kuangsheng’s expression turned solemn.

He voiced his worries.

When he mentioned the hidden danger, Mingxi had already thought of it, and her expression also became extremely heavy.

What Chu Kuangsheng was worried about would absolutely come true!

She could almost certainly say so.

It wasn’t that she was narcissistic, but rather that the Time Realm wouldn’t allow her to keep a low profile.

Because of Gold, Silver, and Blue, even though she wasn’t a Professional Beastmaster yet, her popularity and recognition had already far surpassed that of third or fourth-tier Professional Beastmasters.

Once certain events from this Martial Exam’s global champion spread, such as her dual awakening at once, or her contract with a Thousand Spirit Envoy, her recognition would definitely skyrocket again.

This was still before her official debut.

If she raised her Beast Tamers level to Advanced Level and officially debuted as a Professional Beastmaster, she would inevitably attract another surge of popularity.

The more people who paid attention to her, the more people would notice Emerald Green.

Unless she never sent Emerald Green into battle in front of the public.

Otherwise, what Chu Kuangsheng worried about would inevitably happen.

At that time, how would the Jin Sui Sprout clan deal with themselves?

“What are you thinking about?”

Seeing that Mingxi hadn’t spoken for a long time after he finished.

Mingxi let out an ‘ah’ and came back to her senses.

“I’ve thought of three plans.”

She didn’t continue speaking but summoned Emerald Green.

She rarely deliberately closed off the Pet Space’s external view, so Gold, Silver, and Blue had been able to hear and see their conversation from the beginning.

Including her speculation about why Emerald Green contracted with her.

She looked at the silent Emerald Green.

“Emerald Green, you heard Instructor Chu, do you have anything to say?”

Her serious face was reflected in Emerald Green’s eyes beneath its icy mask.

After a while, it chirped twice.

It indicated that it wanted to hear her three plans.

Mingxi nodded and said, “The first plan, I overturn my career plan, no longer walk the path of a Professional Beastmaster, and from now on reduce public exposure.”

“The second plan, I continue to follow my previous idea and take the most difficult path, but I will not send you to any public Beast Tamers battles, eliminating the possibility of you appearing in front of the public!”

These two plans were feasible but would inevitably harm some of her rights.

Moreover, they were a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

Because Mingxi’s current popularity base was already too large, coupled with the uniqueness of Gold, Silver, and Blue, it was almost impossible for her to completely disappear.

“The last plan, you give up your Advanced Level strength, give up your Ghost-type attribute, give up all Ghost-type characteristics and skills, revert to the Mingsui Grass stage, and when you evolve again, we choose another evolution path.”

Mingsui Grass was the intermediate stage of Jin Sui Sprout.

When Mingxi uttered the last part of her sentence, Chu Kuangsheng and Emerald Green’s eyes trembled as they looked at her.

“Which one do you choose?”

Mingxi stared intently at Emerald Green.

Emerald Green’s pale mask showed no change, and its eyes, deeper than emeralds, seemed to hold nothing.

“Jinjin? Jinjin?”

It asked, “Can you accept whichever one I choose? Even if I choose the first plan?”

Mingxi smiled freely, her bright smile completely unclouded.

“I can accept it.”

“Perhaps you’ll think I’m boasting.”

“But in fact, when I proposed these three plans, I had already made all the psychological preparations.”

“Giving up the path of a Professional Beastmaster is indeed a great pity.”

“I have the talent to roam freely, and I long for peace in the world.”

The girl’s dark eyes shone brightly, as if she saw herself standing on that supreme stage symbolizing the entire galaxy, sweeping away opponents, and becoming the most dazzling light in that moment.

So brilliant.

But the dazzling light in her eyes quickly softened.

It was the calm and warm light after a roaring bonfire extinguished.

“But to live a simple, happy life, with you and them all here, is also my lifelong dream and pursuit.”

“I have Gold, Silver, and Blue, and I have /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ you; even if I do nothing from now on, I can still live the life everyone envies, resents, and hates.”

“What if there are regrets?”

“Who in life doesn’t have a lot of regrets?”

“Even the richest man’s dog probably regrets that it’s just a pampered dog and not the richest man who never cares about money.”

The girl spread her hands.

“My dad is gone, my mom is a scumbag, my grandma is old, too short, her figure... better not mention it, her looks are average, her brain isn’t smart enough, these are all my regrets.”

“One more regret isn’t too many, one less regret isn’t too few.”

“So Emerald Green, choose when you’ve made up your mind; this is the right I, as your Beast Tamers, bestow upon you.”

The girl’s tone was very calm, every word, free and easy.

Even a little light.

But Emerald Green felt her seriousness in every one of her words.

She was serious!

If it really chose the first plan, she would truly give up the path of becoming a Professional Beastmaster.

But are humans really trustworthy?

Perhaps she was sincere now.

But what about later?

How could she guarantee that she wouldn’t regret it in the future?

People change.

Would it have to rebel again then? Too tiring.

And it probably couldn’t do it.

It was able to successfully rebel against Wei Yangang because its strength and mental power exceeded his at the time.

But when the Beast Tamers was this girl, Mingxi.

It had no chance.

Not to mention her own monstrous talent and strength, just that terrifying Time Realm would not allow it to rebel against her!

Emerald Green thought a lot.

Finally, it chirped softly.

“Jin.”

It chose the third plan.

Actually, the second plan was also fine, because it didn’t care at all about whether it could participate in competitions; it never wanted flowers and glory.

But it still chose the third plan.

Hearing Emerald Green’s choice, Mingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything she had just said was from the bottom of her heart; if Emerald Green truly chose the first plan, she would accept it calmly.

But she couldn’t actually guarantee whether she would regret it in the future, or whether she would develop a grudge against Emerald Green because of it.

Many people in their youth could confidently say: “I will never become the kind of adult I hate most: selfish, indifferent, worldly, and hypocritical.”

But how many ultimately achieve that?

The experiences of romance and daily life are different at each stage of life.

Who doesn’t love their innocent self, but who can remain innocent forever?

Not even a fool!

Mingxi had a distant cousin in her previous life who, as a child, had a high fever that damaged his brain, and his intelligence remained permanently at 6 or 7 years old, but as he grew older, he became more shrewd, stingy, liked to take small advantages, and would shift with the wind.

He did all sorts of absurd, bizarre, and yet funny things that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.

He was even caught for soliciting prostitution.

But his mental age was indeed only 7 years old.

Getting off track.

What Mingxi wanted to say was that time and experience do indeed change a person.

She didn’t have the ability to foresee the future and couldn’t make guarantees for her future self.
