Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In this world, a Beastmaster would significantly raise the status of a family. At the very least, after Lu Yao’s elder brother became a Beastmaster and began to change actively, the situation in Lu Yao’s family immediately improved a lot.
Although their family didn’t have much of a background, they were known as the most notable people in the area because of her elder brother. After all, this was only a small county town, and there weren’t many big shots here.
Someone who could enter Dragon City Academy and even gain admiration and sponsorship from the Black Dream Group was already a top-notch figure to a certain extent. Their family benefited from this and rapidly climbed from their original social class to another level.
Lu Yao trusted her elder brother very much. After all, since young, she had always grown up under the shadow of her elder brother. Since he was young, he was the most outstanding one in every aspect, even more so when he grew up. He was a rare genius in this world. In Lu Yao’s heart, her elder brother was one of the most outstanding people and would be able to find a solution no matter what quickly.
‘It would be the same this time.’
Her heart gradually calmed down. The feeling that initially shrouded her heart’s depths and constantly fluctuated, causing her to feel very uneasy, was gradually disappearing.
However, in a place that she did not know, a faint golden color appeared in her eyes, as if something was being nurtured within it and about to be awakened. Yet, the young girl was completely unaware of this.
In the outside world, the sun gradually rose, and as time passed, a faint warm sun emerged. Everything in the surroundings gradually became lively, and the streets outside came to life again.
It was only a small city, but even so, as time passed, the city’s vitality was also recovering, and it was about to be awakened, including something faintly discernible.
As Lu Yao walked out of her room, her eyes gradually opened, and she seemed to have sensed something. Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
“Finally… I’ve found you…”
“My King…”
In the corner of the city, a faint light appeared. Without the young girl’s knowledge, an inexplicable change was happening, and all sorts of changes began to appear. The fate of this city was about to enter the abyss, resulting in an unknown change.
Of course, everything here was still very stable, and there was no difference, at least for now. However, for Lu Yao, this day was different.
Time slowly passed. It was afternoon. As the sun in the sky reached its hottest point, Chen Heng walked to a familiar yet unfamiliar place.
“I have arrived…”
Getting out of the car, Chen Heng looked at the street in front of him. He raised his head and looked around, seeming a little absent-minded. The place in front of him was still the same as his memory. However, there were some changes compared to before, and it seemed more lively. There were some new shops here, and there were more people around. Everything was developing and moving in a better direction.
Chen Heng stood where he was, quietly feeling the changes, then walked in. He walked along the familiar street, then entered a familiar place. His parents were already busy in the living room. They seemed to be very busy cooking and tidying up something. As Chen Heng walked into the living room, they finally reacted and rushed over to welcome him.
“Didn’t you say that you would only be back at night? Why are you here so early?”
The mother of his body asked as she took Chen Heng’s luggage and carefully placed it aside.
“I just happened to have a ride, so I came back early.”
Chen Heng said casually. Then, he looked around and continued, “Where’s Yao Yao?”
“She…”
Speaking of Lu Yao, his mother also seemed a little confused. After looking at the time, she couldn’t help but say, “She said that she went to work. Logically speaking, she should have come back early. Perhaps something happened on the road and delayed her.”
She thought for a moment and then said.
Although the city wasn’t big, the security here was still very good. So, she just thought that her daughter was delayed by something, didn’t think in a bad way. Chen Heng also didn’t care too much, and he was just casually asking.
He put his luggage down and found a random place to sit down quietly. After a while, a flurry of footsteps came from outside. Lu Yao’s figure appeared and quickly walked into the room.
However, she looked a little disheveled compared to her usual appearance. Her initially clean clothes were dirtied entirely, with a thick layer of dirt on them. No one knew what she had done. There were also some wounds on her body, and they looked a little tattered.
“What did you do?”
Looking at Lu Yao’s appearance, mother was shocked and quickly went forward to take a closer look.
At the main door, Lu Yao appeared to be in a daze and was reacting slowly, subconsciously raising her head when her mother came over.
“Mother…”
She raised her head and seemed to be a little normal now. Chen Heng frowned as he looked at Lu Yao’s appearance.
“This feeling…”
Sitting in his seat, he vaguely sensed something. There seemed to be a completely different aura appearing on Lu Yao’s body, appearing very abrupt.
‘What happened to her body?’
Chen Heng’s expression was calm before he saw something.
“Ah, why is there a dog?”
In front of him, his mother’s surprised voice sounded. It turned out that a puppy was following behind Lu Yao, and it was just lying there now. This puppy looked extremely wretched, just like Lu Yao. Its entire body was covered in dirt as if it had been soaked in dirty water.
However, though wretched, this puppy also looked very energetic and seemed different from other dogs. It was filled with a sense of intelligence, felt as if it was a human.
“It’s… I picked it up by the roadside…”
Seeing her mother’s actions, Lu Yao finally reacted and hurriedly explained, “I wanted to raise this dog, so I brought it back.”
“Why did you want to raise a dog all of a sudden…”
Her mother was shocked, not knowing what to say. However, her gaze could not help but turn to Chen Heng, sitting at the side. She seemed a little hesitant, considering Chen Heng’s opinion.
It wasn’t a big deal to have a dog at home, and it was very normal. However, Chen Heng’s predecessor didn’t seem to like such small animals. Therefore, it was expected for them to have some concerns.
He would have said he wanted to send the puppy away if it was his predecessor.
“It’s just a dog. If Xiao Yao likes it, then let’s keep it.”
Chen Heng’s eyes subconsciously moved, and he said, “As long as you pay attention to cleanliness and cleaning, it’s fine.”
Lu Yao heaved a sigh of relief hearing his words and looked at Chen Heng with gratitude. “Thank you, Big Brother.”
“You’re welcome.”
Chen Heng shook his head and did not say anything else. Then, Lu Yao carried the puppy and quickly went to the bathroom to take a bath. She recalled the scene just now and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“At least nothing happened…”
“Big Brother seems easier to talk to than I thought…”
She stood where she was and hugged the little puppy in her arms, feeling relaxed.
