Lord of Pets - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Secret
Bai Wushang smiled contemptuously.

“Are you joking? Do you have a solution to a poison that even the six-winged guardian holy angel can’t eradicate? That’s an existence higher than your father, a supreme being of the same level as His Majesty the Red Dragon Emperor! You, on what basis?”

For a moment, Situ Chi was speechless and did not know how to refute.

He took off his facial mask and revealed his side profile, which had almost no visible scars. His tone gradually became stronger.

“Bai Wushang, I’ve already given you a lot of face by being willing to put aside my grudges and work with you.”

“I’ve investigated it very clearly. The only people who are related to you are the Mu Family and your foster mother, who is dedicated to scientific research. However, these two things have nothing to do with you. In essence, you have the identity of an autonomous awakener. You are nothing without any support.”

“Think about it carefully. which is more likely to keep you alive? Do you want to risk your life on your own, or do you want me to give you a lot of resources to support you?”

After saying that, Situ Chi pointed at the Crystal Scorpion and himself and said, “As you can see, my injuries were very serious two days ago. But now, I’ve recovered without any sequelae. This is not the treatment efficiency that the Medical Department can achieve. I spent ten to twenty thousand gold coins to buy the best medicine and enjoy the best treatment.”

“For me, there is nothing that money can’t do. If it can’t do, then it must be because I don’t have enough money.”

“I can spend a hundred thousand gold coins to buy an oath scroll and sign a soul contract with you. Of course, you will suffer a little because I want to sign a contract for a guardian so that I can rest assured. From now on, I will provide you with whatever you want to the greatest extent.”

…

Bai Wushang looked at him indifferently, “Please don’t flatter yourself. If I live to live, what’s the point of it?”

“Ji-gu!!”

Milky Way nodded its head as if it was a matter of fact. Its eyes revealed a human-like disgust.

It jumped onto Bai Wushang’s shoulder and spat at Situ Chi and the Crystal Scorpion.

“Pfft! Pfft!”

Bai Wushang chuckled and rubbed its head. Then, he led the Demon Ape back to his dormitory.

Ouyang Yuan and Sha Buru couldn’t get a word in edgewise. They immediately followed behind him.

“Ha…”

Situ Chi revealed a hint of mockery. It was a meaningful smile.

…

In the Living Room 101.

Bai Wushang cupped his chin and fell into deep thought. He was speechless for a while.

Ouyang Yuan gulped. He couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Bai, are you really poisoned by that blood poison that even the supreme being can’t handle? Is it that exaggerated?”

“Yes.”

Bai Wushang nodded. He didn’t want to talk more and only explained a little.

After listening, Ouyang Yuan started to pull his hair. His messy hair looked even messier, which reflected his current mood.

He paced back and forth and circled dozens of times.

Ouyang Yuan suddenly stood still and said somewhat awkwardly, “Then… Brother Bai, what happened between you and Situ Chi? How did you two get involved together?”

“I met him in the trial ground, and then, I won.”

Ouyang Yuan rubbed his temples and secretly took in a breath of cold air.

Although he didn’t see the specific scene, he had a certain understanding of Situ Chi’s character, so he could probably imagine the twists and turns in the process.

“You… you offended him?”

“This is not a question of whether I have offended him or not. He provoked me on his initiative and wanted to kill me.” Bai Wushang shook his head.

“Ah…” Three wrinkles appeared on Ouyang Yuan’s forehead. “Brother… Brother Bai, based on my understanding of this person, he is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance… is there no saving grace for him?”

Bai Wushang patted the Demon Ape’s arm, indicating for it to sit down and not be overly nervous. He said softly, “There was, but I rejected it. That is a condition that I cannot accept.”

Sha Buru, who had been listening quietly from the side, finally could not hold it in anymore and comforted him, “Brother Bai, I’m sorry. I’m a dumb person. I don’t know what to say. If you need help, just let me know. I’m willing to help you.”

“Brother Sha, you… are too straightforward!”

Ouyang Yuan sighed. “You know nothing about the power of the royal family, and you want to help. What a hothead!”

Sha Buru blushed slightly, but he held back his strength and retorted, “My mother said that when you meet with a problem, you can’t be the first to stand out, but don’t be a coward either.”

“Besides, haven’t we already had a toast and become friends? Shouldn’t friends help each other?”

Ouyang Yuan was flabbergasted as if it was the first time he knew him. He stared at Sha Buru and looked at him again and again.

A trace of warmth rose from the bottom of Bai Wushang’s heart.

This tanned and tall man was a little naive, but his nature was simple. In this society, in this era, it was really rare.

“Sha Buru, thank you for your good intentions. This matter… still needs to be considered.”

Bai Wushang did not completely stop his good intentions and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Ouyang Yuan recovered from his shock and muttered to himself, “Brother Bai…”

“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen Situ Chi willing to lower himself and make a peace offering. Even if it’s in the form of a soul contract, this is something unimaginable to me.”

“In the past, he didn’t even need to do anything special. There would be a large number of people fighting to be his lackey.”

“The fact that he could do such a thing means that, on one hand, Brother Bai, you are very outstanding in a certain area. Either you make him fear you, or you make him yearn for you. On the other hand, it might be because of… Zhu Qin!”

“Zhu Qin???”

Bai Wushang’s face was full of question marks. Did this have anything to do with her?

Ouyang Yuan cleared his throat and said with a straight face while raising his eyebrows, “Brother Bai, let me ask you something first. Was there a high ratio of late stage spiritualists among the students in the training ground you were in?”

“Well…”

Bai Wushang pondered for more than ten seconds and said while recalling, “Now that you mention it… It seems a little strange. I have seen more than twenty people in total, and at least fifteen of them are late stage spiritualists …”

“It seems like my guess is right!”

Ouyang Yuan slammed the table, and his tone was a little excited.

“This Mountain and SeaAcademy is really abnormal. Normal academies have good seedlings, and they try their best to nurture them. This place is like raising venomous insects. Talent alone is not enough, and you have to use actual combat ability, willpower and luck to prove yourself. No wonder those who graduated from Mountain and SeaAcademy are all dragons and phoenixes among men. No matter where they are, they can shine. I have to give it to them!”

“What do you mean?”

Bai Wushang blinked his eyes, gesturing for him to not keep him in suspense as he continued speaking.

Ouyang Yuan heaved a long sigh, “I suspect… No! I’m almost certain that the academy’s random allocation of the trial grounds is complete nonsense. There’s a hidden agenda behind it. The goal is to increase the pressure on the few of you who have awakened on their own, including those at the later stages of the spirit realm.”

“Think about it. There are only 146 A level students in total, and you’ve seen one-tenth of them. Is this ratio normal?”

“Luo Youyuan and Zhu Qin are even more ridiculous. They’ve been allocated! Together!”
