Chapter 180: Sun Ruirui
Chapter 180: Sun Ruirui
Time flew by, and it was already late at night.
Around ten o'clock, Uncle Ball, Sun Hongyi, sent a message.
Li Qian didn't rest but instead browsed through books on his VR goggles.
Upon receiving the message that popped up on his VR goggles, he slowly walked over and opened the guest room door.
Outside, a charming and graceful young woman stood, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.
The girl was quite attractive, but not exceptionally beautiful. If Li Qian were to give her a score, he wouldn't hesitate to give her an eighty, but a ninety would be a stretch.
Seeing the charming girl, Li Qian couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Uncle Ball, Sun Hongyi, was indeed an old man with a young heart, and he still had a lot of romantic ideas.
"Student Li Qian, my third uncle has made arrangements for me to take you to Red Bridge," the charming girl said with a smile.
Li Qian was slightly taken aback. "Third Uncle?"
The charming girl introduced herself, "My name is Sun Ruirui, and Professor Sun is my third uncle."
Li Qian doubted, "Really?"
Sun Ruirui covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Really!"
Li Qian found it unbelievable and shook his head in amazement, "You don't really look like him..."
The smile on Sun Ruirui's face became even more apparent, "Actually, when he was younger, my third uncle was also known as a handsome man throughout the eight villages and ten towns."
Li Qian raised an eyebrow, "What has he been through these years?"
"Cackles..."
Sun Ruirui laughed out loud, "You're so funny. Don't you worry that my third uncle will get angry if he finds out?"
Li Qian shrugged nonchalantly, "If he finds out, so be it. I'm not his student, so why should I be afraid of him?"
He paused and then looked at Sun Ruirui, continuing, "Moreover, what I said earlier is between you and me, and Professor Sun doesn't know."
"Also, I believe that pretty and cute girls generally don't betray secrets."
Sun Ruirui heard the underlying meaning in Li Qian's words, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Are you complimenting me?"
Li Qian chuckled, "Then we'll see if you'll betray me or not."
Sun Ruirui pouted, "I won't betray you, and it's not because of what you said about being pretty and cute, but because what you said is true."
Li Qian couldn't help but laugh, "Er..."
This Sun Ruirui was very straightforward in setting up her uncle.
As they chatted and laughed, they walked towards the northeast corner of the estate.
Splash, splash, splash...
As soon as they approached, he heard the sound of water hitting the shore.
Out of curiosity, he listened carefully.
Sun Ruirui began to explain, "Ahead is the sound of the ocean waves."
Li Qian turned to look at the charming girl, "The sound of ocean waves ahead?"
"What do you mean? Are we at the seaside already?"
Li Qian knew that the estate wasn't very far from the seaside, but at this moment, he hadn't left the estate yet.
Could it be that the estate was directly connected to the ocean?
Li Qian was perplexed and confused.
Sun Ruirui noticed his puzzled expression and continued to explain, "Ahead is a small bay, and a bridge has been built over it. The estate's wall runs along the bridge, so strictly speaking, this estate is connected to the ocean."
After hearing this explanation, Li Qian sighed softly, "Indeed, it's a rich man's extravagance."
"But with this connection, aren't you worried about the estate's companion beasts escaping or wild companion beasts sneaking in?"
Sun Ruirui shook her head and pointed to the ocean waves, "My third uncle has a companion beast living in the bay."
"Oh, right, this companion beast is the Tide Sea Spirit."
"Its strength has broken through the racial potential limit and reached the Imperial Tier 3. With it residing in the bay, you don't need to worry about those things at all.
Li Qian listened to Sun Ruirui's explanation, and as he listened, his expression became a little strange.
He asked with certainty, "You're saying that the Tidal Sea Spirit in this bay has reached the Imperial Tier 5, and it's also your third uncle's companion beast?"
"Then, doesn't that mean your third uncle is an Imperial-rank Beastmaster?"
"Yes!" Sun Ruirui nodded, her face filled with a sweet smile.
Upon confirmation, Li Qian couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, his heart was filled with a herd of grass mules galloping through.
He truly hadn't expected that Sun Hongyi, who looked indistinguishable from a ball and had a rather amusing appearance, was actually an Imperial-rank Beastmaster.
Li Qian had thought that he was, at most, on par with Professor Yan, just an Overlord-rank Beastmaster.
After all, breeders usually focus their efforts on breeding, and under normal circumstances, their ranks shouldn't be too outrageous.
But he hadn't expected to encounter such an outrageous case this time.
If he had known earlier that he was an Imperial-rank breeder, Li Qian wouldn't have dared to be so reckless and joke around casually.
What's the difference between that and lighting a lantern in the toilet—looking for trouble?
"What, scared now?" Sun Ruirui noticed Li Qian's shrinking and smiled, her lips curving beautifully.
Li Qian nodded honestly, "A little..."
"Weren't you just teasing him a moment ago?" The girl asked playfully.
Li Qian forced a bitter smile, "Before, it was ignorance that made me fearless."
"However, speaking of which, this isn't entirely my fault. Your third uncle's appearance is too deceptive."
He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "He doesn't have the slightest air of a strong person."
After chatting for a while, the two had arrived at the location of the little cove.
Following the small beach formed by the impact of the seawater, they took a few steps and climbed onto a bridge.
A stone bridge with red railings.
"Professor Sun, is your 'Red Bridge Estate' named after this bridge?" Li Qian greeted as soon as he stepped onto the Red Bridge.
There was no choice; the atmosphere from earlier was a bit awkward, so he had to quickly find a topic to shift the conversation.
"It is indeed named after this bridge."
At this moment, Sun Hongyi, whose figure resembled a ball, was standing on the bridge. He turned and looked at Li Qian as he walked up step by step, squinting his eyes into a slit.
"I never expected that your estate, Professor Sun, is connected to the vast sea through this bridge. It's truly enviable." Li Qian flattered.
After flattering him, Li Qian continued without pause, "By the way, just now, I heard Ruirui say that one of your companion beasts, a Tidal Sea Spirit, lives in this bay. May I ask if I can have the honor of seeing it?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongyi didn't immediately answer Li Qian's question. Instead, he widened his eyes and looked at Li Qian, "Ruirui? You little rascal, what did you call her, Ruirui?"
"You two have just met, and you're already addressing her so casually?"
"You little brat, quickly tell me, what sweet talk did you use to deceive my niece?"
Facing Sun Hongyi's interrogation, Li Qian wore an expression of helpless laughter, "Professor Sun, you've misunderstood. I, well, I just spoke without thinking!"
Just now, he had blurted it out subconsciously without giving it any thought.
Now that he thought about it, it was indeed a bit inappropriate, considering they had only known each other for a few minutes.
The address was indeed a bit too familiar.
Li Qian hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but it seemed that the furious Sun Hongyi wasn't interested in his explanation.
Beside them, Sun Ruirui witnessed this scene, and instead of showing any signs of helping, she was happily enjoying the show.
