The sun had set in the valley and night was about to fall.
Anna Tao was traveling alone through the jungle. After witnessing the sins of human nature, although she was alone in the middle of a barren mountain, she didnât feel afraid at all.
Nothing was scarier than the human heart.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of an aircraft flying over her head. She looked up into the sky and found that the aircraft had stopped above her head.
Anna Tao felt instinctively uneasy.
Could it be that those people in the academy suspected that she was still alive and specially sent people to find her?
At that moment, the hatch to the aircraft opened. A pair of fiery red wings unfurled in the air as Yu Huang descended from the sky.
Anna Taoâs mouth gaped open as she watched Yu Huang return.
âYu Huang? Why have you returned?â When she saw Yu Huang, all of Anna Taoâs uneasiness vanished, and only confusion remained.
She could not guess the reason behind Yu Huangâs return.
Yu Huang folded her wings and walked over to Anna Tao. âI only have a few words. Listen carefully.â
Seeing Yu Huangâs solemn expression, Anna Tao nodded subconsciously. âGo ahead, Iâll listen.â
Yu Huang told her, âI came back to look for you because I know what youâre planning. Youâre planning to go back to Yu Hui Academy and start a massacre. Even if you donât return, you wonât hesitate.â
Anna Taoâs face turned pale.
Yu Huang knew that she was right when she saw Anna Taoâs expression change.
âI didnât come back to persuade you to let go of those grudges, to be a good person, or to be a saint. I just wanted to tell you that your future is still very long and will be very exciting. Thereâs no need to sacrifice your life for a bunch of trash.â
âAnna Tao, you havenât picked up your mother yet. You havenât brought her a happy life. Is it worth it to lose everything to those pieces of trash?â
Anna Tao was moved when she heard this.
âI know itâs not worth it,â Anna Tao bit her lip and said. âBut I canât accept it. They bullied and humiliated me. How can I, how can I take this lying down!â
Yu Huang said, âItâs normal to be unwilling. But there are many ways to take revenge on them, yet you chose the silliest and most foolish one!â
Anna Tao said, âI have no other choice!â
âYou do!â Yu Huang said, âThe Divine Realm Academy has a rearing department. Every year, they will recruit some mediocre but upright Beast Tamers to help raise demon beasts. This department has the worst treatment in our academy, and the conditions are also the worst, because they work every day to raise those demon beasts in the back mountain.â
âIf youâre willing, Iâm willing to be your guarantor and recommend you to be a breeder at the Divine Realm Academy. You can use your rest time to study with me and grow together!â
âIn the future, when you become stronger and far surpass that bunch of trash, you can publicly issue a challenge to that bunch of trash from the Yu Hui Academy and openly defeat them. Wouldnât that be great?â
After saying all that, Yu Huang extended her right hand towards Anna Tao and asked, âAre you willing to go back with me to train hard and defeat those trash openly in the future, or are you willing to return to Yu Hui Academy and fight to the death with them?â
Anna Tao was shocked.
She stared at Yu Huangâs outstretched hand with tears glistening in her eyes. âYu Huang, is it worth it to vouch for someone like me?â
Yu Huangâs lips curved into a light smile as she said, âItâs worth it!â
Anna Tao grabbed Yu Huangâs palm when she heard this, and she seemed to have grabbed the ray of light in her life. âYu Huang, from today onward, Iâll obey you!â
On the way back, there were four people.
Anna Tao was very reserved. She did not dare to talk to the Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master or the well-known Sheng Xiao. She obediently sat beside Yu Huang.
But Sheng Xiao found her an eyesore.
re.
This little girl had been occupying Yu Huang ever since she appeared. She was not a baby that had yet to be weaned!
When they arrived at the capital of Cangyuan Empire, Lin Jiansheng jumped off the plane and waved at them before entering the train station and taking a taxi back to the Prosperous Capital.
Yu Huang and the other two had to hitch a ride back to the Divine Realm Academy.
There were three seats on each side of the train. Anna Tao sat by the window while Yu Huang sat in the middle. Sheng Xiao sat by the corridor.
In the car, Anna Tao stuttered as she asked Yu Huang many questions about the Divine Realm Academy. Yu Huang patiently answered them all.
Sheng Xiao listened expressionlessly without saying a word.
After chatting for more than an hour, Yu Huang got up and went to the toilet alone.
After Yu Huang left, there was no one else between Sheng Xiao and Anna Tao. Anna Tao tilted her head to look at Sheng Xiao. When she saw Master Shengâs cold expression, she quickly looked away.
In Anna Taoâs eyes, Master Sheng was like a god in heaven. She could only admire him, and could not look or think of anything else.
Sheng Xiao suddenly turned to look at her.
Anna Tao, afraid that she wasnât behaving properly, instinctively sat up straight.
âMiss Anna.â
When she heard her name, Anna Tao quivered. Like a student who had been picked by a teacher to answer a question, she shouted loudly, âIâm here!â Thanks to Anna, the two of them became the focus of attention in the car.
Sheng Xiaoâs expression turned ugly. Anna Tao realized that she had made herself a joke out of being too nervous. Anna Tao bowed her head submissively and blushed to the neck.
Sheng Xiao looked at her deeply. Then, he said meaningfully, âMiss Anna, Yu Huang doesnât like to have too much physical contact with people. She doesnât like commotion either. So, donât talk to her all the time. You shouldnât reach out and touch her.â
Hearing that, Anna Tao asked incredulously, âReally?â
Sheng Xiao nodded solemnly. âOf course. We are a couple. I know what she likes.â
Anna Tao believed him. âThen, then Iâll talk less and have less physical contact with her.â
âYeah.â
At that moment, Yu Huang returned with a box of fruit platter in her hand. She sat down and opened the platter. She picked up a toothpick and stuck a piece of dragonfruit meat into it before handing it to Anna Tao.
Anna Tao remembered what Sheng Xiao said to her. When she saw that Yu Huang was going to feed her fruits, she waved her hand and said, âI can do it myself!â
Yu Huang must have seen how pitiful she was and thus took care of her. It was time for her to be sensible and not cause trouble for Yu Huang.
Thinking of that, she quickly picked up a piece of yellow peach meat and ate it.
Yu Huang did not notice the change in Anna Tao.
Seeing that Anna Tao refused to eat the fruit in her hand, Yu Huang was about to eat it herself when Sheng Xiao asked, âIs it sweet?â Sheng Xiao had taken out a book and was reading it. At that moment, he was holding the book with his left hand and flipping through the pages with his right hand. He did not have any spare hand to eat fruit. Yu Huang brought the piece of meat to Sheng Xiaoâs mouth. âWant some?â
Sheng Xiao opened his mouth and took the fruit. He took a bite and tasted the sweetness. âItâs very sweet.â
The fruit he snatched was sweet.
