Chapter 120: Professor Yan
Chapter 120: Professor Yan
As Mu Qianqian left, Li Qian considered following her but decided against it.
There was no need.
Convincing the Demon Heaven beasts was a stroke of good fortune, but if they couldn't be persuaded, it didn't matter. After all, they were just a few Frostfire Salamanders, and Li Qian wasn't struggling to support them.
Moreover, the Demon Heaven beasts staying in the breeding ground provided an additional layer of protection for the facility.
Before long, Mu Qianqian chose her companion beast and returned to Building 1. She smiled and looked at Li Qian, "It's great. A Frostfire Salamander is willing to follow me and take on a new challenge."
This outcome didn't surprise Li Qian. He smiled slightly and said, "Let's go take a look."
Soon after, Li Qian and Mu Qianqian arrived at the central pond. As Mu Qianqian waved, a giant creature swam over, and Li Qian nodded slightly.
"It's Demon Hong."
Heaven Earth Yellow Black Universe Flood, a seven-headed Frostfire Salamander, each with subtle differences despite their similar appearances.
These subtle differences might be indistinguishable to others, but as their breeder, Li Qian knew them clearly. So, as soon as the giant creature swam over, he recognized its identity.
"Demon Hong, are you willing to leave with her and take on a new challenge?" Li Qian asked, even though he had already guessed the answer from Demon Hong's actions. He wanted to confirm its thoughts.
"Its name is Demon Hong. It's a great name." Mu Qianqian smiled and murmured after hearing Li Qian's reference to Demon Hong.
Demon Hong, with Xiao Liu's roar translating, understood Li Qian's words. It looked at its other seven siblings with a hint of reluctance, then firmly nodded.
The scenario depicted by the human before it was exhilarating and thrilling. It yearned for battle and growth, so after a moment of thought, it chose a different path.
"Good. I look forward to seeing your growth." Li Qian smiled with relief upon seeing Demon Hong's choice.
At that moment, his emotions were complex, filled with both anticipation and the reluctance of an old father sending his daughter off to marry.
"Don't worry. I'll nurture it well and won't waste its talent." Perhaps sensing Li Qian's reluctance, Mu Qianqian spoke with utmost confidence.
"If one day, I mean if, I figure out the evolution method from Frostfire Salamander to Icefire Dragon, I want to see it soar into the sky." Li Qian took a deep breath and continued with a hint of emotion.
When Mu Qianqian heard this, she initially found it unbelievable and hard to trust.
After all, the Icefire Dragon was a Spiritual Saint Rank companion beast with the potential to smoothly advance to the Spiritual Saint Rank and become a guardian deity-like existence.
Although Li Qian had used the word "if," Mu Qianqian still sensed a strong sense of self-confidence in his words.
She couldn't help but feel excited about this matter.
If someone else had said this, Mu Qianqian would have dismissed it, but when it came from Li Qian, she chose to believe.
There was no choice but to believe. After all, it was impressive for a mere high school student to discover the evolution methods from Koi to Green Scaled Serpent and from Koi to Frostfire Salamander.
Her belief led to intense excitement. She made a promise, "If that's truly the case, our Tranquil Mystic Realm won't hesitate to help you evolve the Thousand Vine Demon into the Ten Thousand Vine Devil."
In exchange for the Icefire Dragon, Mu Qianqian would gain the Ten Thousand Vine Devil, the most formidable companion beast their Tranquil Mystic Realm could offer.
At the very least, I'll just owe someone a favor then.
Besides, up until now, this matter is just a verbal agreement, nothing has been set in stone yet, so there's no need to think so far ahead.
After the agreement, Li Qian let Mu Qianqian take away Demon Hong, which surprised the latter a little, as the Thousand Vine Demon hadn't been delivered yet.
"Aren't you worried that I'll take away the Frostfire Salamander and then disappear without a trace, not giving you the Thousand Vine Demon?" Mu Qianqian asked with a charming smile.
Li Qian responded with a gentle smile, "I trust you, and I trust the successor of Tranquil Mystic Realm."
His words elicited a silvery bell-like laughter from Mu Qianqian, "Haha... You're quite an interesting person. Just for that, from now on, you're our friend from Tranquil Mystic Realm."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian followed suit, "From now on, you're also a friend of Radiant Cultivation Base."
...
After Mu Qianqian left, it wasn't long before Iron Elder found Li Qian.
"What, do you like this type of mature older sister?" He asked, patting Li Qian's shoulder.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Qian heard the words and started coughing uncontrollably.
Iron Elder is a good person, but sometimes he's not very serious.
No wonder no woman is willing to be with him; he's still a lonely old man.
"Iron Elder, you're joking!" Li Qian glanced at Iron Elder helplessly and quickly tried to dispel the rumor.
If this matter were to spread, his reputation would be ruined in an instant.
After making a joke, he turned to the main topic, "Li Qian, I won't be staying for long. I'll have to leave soon."
Li Qian looked at Iron Elder, thinking he had misheard, and immediately asked, "Leave? Why?"
"The matters here are concluded, and there's not much point in me staying any longer."
Iron Elder explained and then asked Li Qian, "Don't tell me, the reason you requested protection from Shazhou Beastmaster University was to prepare for a potential attack from Machinery Drought Sect?"
Seeing that Iron Elder had guessed his original intention, Li Qian's face showed a wry smile, "Iron Elder, there's nothing you can't see through with those eyes of yours."
Iron Elder sighed and continued, "Now, the attack is over, and those people from Machinery Drought Sect, unless they're crazy, won't come to bother Lingwater City again. Even if I stay, I'd just be freeloading."
Li Qian thought for a moment and shared his plan, "Although it's unlikely that there will be any danger in the near future, during the summer vacation, I plan to make a trip to Zhong Hai City, and who knows what new problems might arise..."
Iron Elder patted Li Qian's shoulder again, "Rest assured, even though I'm leaving, Shazhou Beastmaster University will send another person to take my place and continue to ensure your safety."
Li Qian didn't say much, but he asked about his confusion, "Why change people? Do you have another mission, Iron Elder?"
Iron Elder nodded and continued explaining, "You could say that. Besides that, there's another reason, and the person coming later has a different purpose."
"What purpose?" Li Qian was even more perplexed.
Iron Elder turned to look west, "To help your mother's Gray Bean Dove evolve into a Skydashing Falcon!"
Li Qian immediately realized, "The person coming is Professor Yan!"
"Yes, in fact, he's not only an excellent breeder but also a powerful beastmaster."
Iron Elder's gaze remained fixed on the west as he spoke calmly, "With him by your side, your safety is guaranteed."
