Chapter 155: Running into Meng Xiyue at the Beast Taming Store! Who's the Unlucky One?
"Tianming..."
Meeting Lin Tianming's determined gaze to protect the future together, Wang Yanran's expression softened.
[With Tianming's talent, if he doesn't die in the future, he might really be able to protect everything we want to protect together...]
[Being with this rascal... isn't so bad after all?]
[He is so determined to protect the people I want to protect... then I can't let him die tragically in a year! I must find a way to prevent his tragic death at the same time as his previous life and help him survive!]
[As long as he doesn't die, the future holds hope!]
When Lin Tianming heard Wang Yanran call him "Tianming," dropping the "junior," he knew his sincerity had moved her.
To lighten the mood, Lin Tianming teased Wang Yanran.
"Senior Yanran, you've called me Tianming, can I call you Yanran? I still remember when we were in the Imperial Capital Academy, we even hugged and kissed..."
However, before Lin Tianming could finish, a blushing Wang Yanran interrupted him.
"No... don't talk nonsense! I'm your senior, Tianming junior... and you promised me to keep that matter a secret!"
[This shameless guy! I just started to like him a bit... and now he's bullying me again!]
[He doesn't really think he's become my boyfriend, does he?]
[I am the eldest daughter of the Wang family, destined to become the Phoenix Flame Goddess! How could I fall for this scumbag who was sinful in his previous life?]
At this moment, even Wang Yanran's inner voice was desperately defending and hiding the truth she couldn't admit to herself.
Listening to her words and inner voice, Lin Tianming stifled his laughter.
Having finally resolved Wang Yanran's hostility towards Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming stopped in time: "I was just joking, heh heh, Senior Yanran, I have always respected you!"
"That's better!"
[Respect my foot! Who would believe your nonsense!]
[Before we faced the Fire Spirit Spider together, how many times did you hug and touch me? I told you to stop, and you hugged me even tighter!]
[If you hadn't saved my life, I... I... definitely wouldn't have let you off!]
Wang Yanran's inner voice made Lin Tianming feel wronged.
Previously, he had only hugged her because she threw herself at him, trying to lure him into the woods to kill him for revenge!
He avoided her but she still found him. What was wrong with taking some advantage?
She also said that was in the past. Now she no longer wanted to kill him or seduce him, and he hadn't done anything excessive!
But Lin Tianming didn't say this out loud to avoid revealing his ability to hear thoughts.
He shifted the topic: "Since we've cleared up the matter about Yiyi, let's go in and talk to Senior Hua. Once this is sorted out, everything will be fine!"
Discussing serious matters, Wang Yanran's still slightly red face turned serious: "Yes, let's go in!"
Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran returned to Hua Yufei's large villa to discuss what they had just talked about.
Thus, keeping Huang Yiyi's secret as the mysterious girl became a consensus among Lin Tianming, Hua Yufei, and Wang Yanran.
With the crisis resolved and his inner conflict eased, Lin Tianming returned to his usual state.
Unfortunately, he was given a day off by Jiang Han, who was worried about him, so he couldn't go back to cultivate.
Taking advantage of the break, Lin Tianming spent the entire day with Huang Yiyi to ensure she could stay safely with Hua Yufei and wouldn't think of running away.
...
Several days had passed since Wang Yanran's issue was resolved. Lin Tianming accompanied his little girlfriend, Ye Qingxue, for lunch after his usual special training.
After lunch, Lin Tianming left the Imperial Capital Academy alone to visit a beast taming store a few streets away from the East Gate.
"Little one, come out. Today I'll take you to the beast taming store, buy you some food, and some toys!"
At Lin Tianming's call, the baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger ran out from the water attribute beast taming seal on his right palm.
Although the baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger had grown significantly since it started following Lin Tianming, it was still tiny.
Lin Tianming pointed to his shoulder, and the baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger obediently jumped onto his shoulder.
"Found it, this is the place!"
Finding the beast taming store they were going to, Lin Tianming glanced at the empty doorway and walked straight in.
This beast taming store had various tools for Beast Tamers to nurture awakened beasts and many different attributes of awakened beasts.
Whether you wanted to buy toys and food for awakened beasts or buy an awakened beast, you could find what you needed here.
However, to buy awakened beasts, you needed to show the beast taming seal on your palm to prove you were a Beast Tamer.
If you weren't a Beast Tamer and still wanted to buy awakened beasts, you needed to provide additional related proof.
Tools for nurturing awakened beasts were not restricted and could be purchased freely.
Though this beast taming store wasn't particularly large, it was still big enough for Lin Tianming to browse for a while.
He wasn't interested in other awakened beasts and headed straight to the area for beast toys and snacks following the store signs.
The baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger was dazzled by the array of toys and snacks, wanting everything it saw.
Lin Tianming reminded the little one: "This is someone else's store, don't mess around, little guy!"
Reminded by Lin Tianming, the baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger, visiting for the first time, immediately behaved.
Seeing the baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger being obedient, Lin Tianming asked for its opinion on the toys and snacks, seeing what it liked.
After about ten minutes of browsing, Lin Tianming headed to the counter with the things he bought for the baby Blue Crystal Water Tiger.
At the counter, he noticed many people gathered around, seemingly observing something interesting.
Curious, he approached and saw ten sealed large boxes on the counter.
Seeing Lin Tianming, the clerk behind the counter showed a surprised expression.
"Young man, it's you! With a Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby on your shoulder, you must be an awakened Beast Tamer! And you're just in time, we're about to start a blind box game!"
Lin Tianming frowned: "Blind box?"
"That's right, today our store is running a promotion. These ten sealed boxes contain various items, including awakened beasts and beast taming tools. One thousand per box, come try your luck! You might get a high-quality awakened beast!"
While the clerk explained the blind box promotion to Lin Tianming, a girl who found his voice familiar turned around.
Seeing Lin Tianming's face, her expression immediately darkened.
"It's you!"
[How unlucky am I to run into Lin Tianming at a beast taming store!]
Hearing the inner voice, Lin Tianming looked at the girl.
The next moment, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Meng Xiyue!"
