Starting With Contract Pets

Chapter 179: Frequently Appearing Monsters

“Oh, you came right in time; we’ve been looking for you everywhere.

“I don’t know how a group of monsters came in, but a commander Six-winged Flying Pig is leading a group of piglets into the village’s spiritual fields.

“I called the Pet Administration Bureau, and they said that it will take more than an hour for their people to return from another work.

“That wild boar is now attempting to enter the village. Please help me solve this problem as soon as possible; it’s really too terrifying.”

Jin Shunshui pleaded with Su Bai. As if he was a straw to clutch at, he said everything in one anxious breath.

“Yes, you have the ability to kill that wild boar in the village. We’ll have to trouble you.”

“Please take action and save my spiritual plants. It’s such a pity; They’ve been planted for three years and are about to be harvested soon, but they’re now being completely dug out by that boar and the piglets.”

A group of villagers quickly requested him to take action.

“Where did they come from? Is there a new space crack nearby?”

Su Bai was quite puzzled. It stood to reason that there could be no commander monsters near human communities.

“Jade, let’s go and take a look.”

Su Bai temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and walked with the cub to the Six-winged Flying Pig. It was a great chance to kill a boar and eat its delicious meat.

“Howl!”

When he walked to a spiritual field, he saw a big wild boar, which was snowy-white, was more than eight meters long, and had six black wings on its back.

Two sharp black fangs were hanging out on either side of its mouth.

It was digging the soil of a spiritual field, and behind it was a dozen piglets.

As if it had felt the aura of the cub, the low-level commander Six-winged Flying Pig turned around and escaped.

“Howl! (▼ヘ▼#)”

Purple Jade glanced disdainfully at this adult pig. How could the cub give it a chance to escape? It instantly chased the big one with Grass Sword Storm, determined to drain its blood deliberately for Su Bai to eat pork.

It wrapped this Six-winged Flying Pig, drained it of blood with its vines, and prepared to drag it home.

“Leave it here first. Let’s follow the tracks to see where they came from.” Su Bai instructed.

“Howl!” Ah Bai, over here!

The cub hung the Six-winged Flying Pig on a big tree nearby to drain it of blood, then sensed the aura, and walked beside him to lead the way.

It took a quarter of an hour for him to find the wild boar’s nest, but when he saw the nest, he was a little confused.

This wild boar seemed to have just broken through, but it stood to reason that that kind of wild boar, which had only given birth to piglets, should not break through so easily.

However, it was not an absolute rule, for it might have eaten some treasures.

Ah Bai, what’s wrong? The cub glanced at him.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go back and take the wild boar carcass. We’ll cook suckling pig in the afternoon.”

Su Bai licked his lips gluttonously. Roasted suckling pig was too delicious, he had roasted it once in the monster wilderness, and still found the crispy browned pig skin unforgettably delicious.

He returned to the manor with the Six-winged Flying Pig’s corpse. He gave the small ones to his parents to deal with, then cut a few pieces of meat from the big pig, and threw the rest into the Bloodthirsty Spear.

Because of this delay, he did not want to go to the Blue Moon Cultivation House anymore and started roasting suckling pig at home, instead.

At 4 p.m., a spicy and delicious roast suckling pig was ready.

“Ah, it smells so good.”

He tore a piece of pork with skin on it and exclaimed. The skin was browned and the pork meat was tender and smooth. With the aroma of cumin chili and black pepper wafting up, he was already drooling badly.

When eaten with a glass of ice cola, it was considered supreme enjoyment.

“Wow, big bro, your technique in roasting suckling pig is amazing.” Su Yue pulled a large piece of meat and popped it into his mouth.

“Yes, it’s pretty good.” His parents also gave positive evaluations.

“Of course.” Su Bai nodded proudly. Having stayed in the monster wilderness for four months, he had grilled all sorts of monsters which could be eaten and that had greatly improved his barbecuing technique.

However, his pets were not interested in this and could not understand why they would eat spicy things like cumin and chili. They preferred energy medicinal cakes and potions more.

The next day, he went to the Blue Moon Cultivation House in Carp Town. The business was not good here, and there was not a single customer in the morning.

At noon, Yang Zhou and the others came over.

“Are you busy now? If not, can we go hunting for monsters?” Yang Zhou patted him on the shoulder.

“No, killing some weaklings is just a waste of my time.” Su Bai shook his head.

“...Are commander monsters also considered rookies?” The other was a little speechless.

“Yes, I guess, and the monster wilderness is also too far away, so I won’t go.” He glanced up at his friend and then resumed looking down.

“No, we’re not going to the monster wilderness. Recently, the number of monsters around the town have increased, so the Pet Administration Bureau urged us to help kill them if we have time.” Jiang Yang explained.

“Yeah, I wonder why many more powerful monsters have appeared near human communities? The town’s pet management bureau doesn’t even have enough manpower.” Chen Tingting chimed in, feeling puzzled.

“That’s why I advise that you accumulate theoretical knowledge first. At your current speed, it’ll be difficult to improve your pets’ strength to another level in one and a half months. It’s better to work hard on the theoretical part and score higher marks in that section.” Su Bai advised.

He could learn more about the increase in monsters through a website that only professional Pet Tamers could access and found that this phenomenon had occurred all over the world.

Some people speculated that, just like before, another large-scale space crack might have appeared.

However, nobody was sure of what was actually going on. Anyway, this kind of situation was not uncommon, so everyone was used to it and did not take it seriously.

“Alright, since you’re not going, let’s take a stroll around and prepare to make some money to buy potions. Otherwise, we’ll be too poor to even improve our pets.” Yang Zhou sighed helplessly.

“Remember to call me if you can’t defeat the monster.”

Su Bai waved to the three of them.

“Alright. Let’s go then.”

They waved goodbye to him. His friend just came over to invite him along, but he did not want to join them.

After all, the monsters they hunted were indeed of low levels.

Half a month passed again. Although the monsters everywhere became more and more powerful, no other changes occurred, and no space cracks or the like appeared.

Su Bai himself spent the past half a month in peace. His pets increased in strength little by little, especially the dragon. It was now approaching the monarch grade.

He was still thinking about how to enter the other parts of Scarlet Wildernesses. He usually entered the Scarlet Wilderness that Wei Ya was in charge of but had not found a way to enter the others.

At the beginning of May, when there was only more than a month left before the college entrance examination in June, everyone became busy preparing for it.

Su Bai was not particularly nervous. Everything that needed to be learned had been mastered, and the rest would depend on how he did on the spot.

At noon on Saturday that day, he took the cub to Carp Town to pick up Chen Ruoxue.

When he arrived, he saw the two from a distance.

“Boyfie, over here!” Chen Rouxue waved to him from afar.

“Hello.” He smiled and walked toward them.

At this time, Chen Ruoxue had also undergone many changes compared to five months ago. First of all, her height had grown from just 1.6 meters to 1.7 meters.

Her body had completely blossomed, and her figure was now curvy and voluptuous. She was wearing a white short sleeve and a pair of denim shorts.

Her short sleeve shirt was held high by her bulging breasts, revealing her snowy-white willowy waist which was almost too small to hold. Her denim shorts revealed her straight and slender jade-like legs.

With her delicate and dewy oval-shaped face, her pair of bright and big eyes which seemed to contain stars, her soft pink lips, and her long hair which had not been cut for a year, the changes in her were considerably big.

Her figure and appearance was comparable to a mature adult woman like Hou Jie.

Su Bai was a little dazed upon seeing her changed appearance and even felt a little unfamiliar with her.

Similarly, Chen Ruoxue was quite surprised and unfamiliar with his new appearance. In the end, they exchanged shocked glances.

As he approached, she smiled sweetly and slipped into his arms, hugging him tightly.

“Long time no see.”

“Long time no see.”

The familiar feeling returned to their hearts again, bringing everything back to normal.

“So how do I look? Have I become particularly beautiful?” she asked, holding his hand and giggling.

“Yes, you’re especially beautiful.” Su Bai chuckled and nodded.

“I wanted to give you a big surprise with my changes, but I didn’t expect to be surprised by your changes. It seems like the childishness of a young boy has disappeared in you.” She examined him carefully.

“Cough... cough, cough...”

Wei Ya coughed loudly, unable to stand it anymore.

“Hello, Senior Wei Ya. Have you two had lunch yet?”

Su Bai quickly returned to his senses and bowed to the older woman.

“Not yet. Take us to the town for lunch.” Wei Ya raised her chin and spoke coldly.

“Okay.” He nodded.

While chatting with Chen Ruoxue, he took them to the hotel in town.

After ordering, he turned to Wei Ya and asked, “Senior, may I ask if you know how to enter the other eleven parts of Scarlet Wilderness?”

“Are you trying to compete for the original divine skill that is about to be born?” Wei Ya glanced at him.

“...Yes.” He nodded, surprised by her accurate guess.

“The battle for the original divine skill isn’t that simple and is especially dangerous. You’re in over your head. Those fighting for it are title-level Pet Tamers with emperor or sovereign pets; are you sure you want to participate?” Chen Ruoxue touched his forehead in case he had a fever.

“Don’t worry; I don’t have a fever. My master told me of a special method that will give me a high probability of obtaining the divine skill without competing with others.” He shook his head.

“Ruoxue, don’t worry; he’s not lying. That method is indeed feasible, and he has a chance with his current strength.” Wei Ya excused him.

“Yes, I’m not surprised that senior knows about it, too.”

He remembered that when Wei Ya first saw his pet dragon, she had told him to transform more blood subordinates. It was obvious that she had already known this from the start.

“Here, this is for you. With this thing, you can enter the other eleven parts of Scarlet Wilderness, but you’d better hide this thing and not let others find it.”

Wei Ya took out a scarlet ring and threw it to him.

“Thank you, senior.” He quickly accepted the scarlet ring.

“No problem. I just don’t want the original divine skill to fall into the wrong hands. Although you have a natural advantage, whether you can succeed or not is another matter.” She shrugged.

Soon, the food arrived, and the three of them chatted while eating.

“I watched the City League Tournament; your progress really surprised me, but after gaining experience for so long, and with the help of Senior Wei Ya, my strength has also improved very quickly,” Chen Rouxue said.

“What’s your current strength?” Su Bai asked curiously. Just by looking at her changes, he knew that her strength had definitely improved tremendously.

After all, it was only normal for her to become stronger under the guidance of a master with an emperor pet.

“I’ll tell you later.” She blinked at him.

After the meal, he took the cub home after sending the two back first.

The next day, Chen Ruoxue came to his house.

“Here, this is my birthday present for you.”

She handed a pale green crystal of profound meaning to him.

In order to obtain this crystal of profound meaning, she had remained in one place for more than half a month before finally killing a pet which was about to advance to a monarch grade, thereby obtaining this treasure.

“Wow, your gift is so precious. Compared to this, what I prepared for you seems to be a lot worse.” He looked at the crystal of profound meaning.

“What did you prepare for me?” His girlfriend looked curiously at him.

Su Bai took out the gift from the bedside table and handed it to her.

“This is the perfume and lipstick that I personally made according to your preferences from spirit flowers and plants in the Scarlet Wilderness.”

He said a little embarrassedly. Compared to her gift, his felt really insignificant.

Without saying anything, she opened the box and looked at the cosmetics. She put lipstick on her pink lips and gently sprayed some of the perfume.

She then gently leaned over and put her arms around his neck, blinking flirtatiously. “Do I look pretty? Do I smell good?”

Su Bai nodded quickly. Chen Ruoxue was currently much more attractive than a few months ago.

“Then do you want to taste my lipstick?” Blushing slightly, she leaned in closer and maintained eye contact with him.

“Of course.”

When she closed her eyes, he leaned in to kiss her.

Ten minutes later, she looked up at him a little breathlessly. “Do you know how it tastes now?”

“It tastes sweet, just like you,” he said, looking at her red lips.

“This is the best birthday present I have ever received. I like it very much,” Chen Rouxue said with a smile.

Su Bai grinned. It was his greatest honor that she liked it.

After sorting out the underwear and short sleeves that he had tossed to the side, the girl got up from the bed and said, “Let’s study hard over the next month and strive to be accepted in the university that we like.”

As for which university they wanted to enter, the two had already decided on one long ago.

It had to be that university.
