Chapter 204: Ancient Fog Talk

Seeing the young girl inside ignore him for a long time, Li Songhai grew increasingly anxious.

“I really didn’t lie to you. If you don’t believe me, I can swear.” He painstakingly squeezed out a kind smile, trying to make himself appear friendlier.

“Who still believes in oaths these days…” Qiao Sang muttered to herself, but said, “Go ahead and swear.”

Li Songhai heard this and felt there was a sign of softening from the other party. He immediately joined his index, middle, and ring fingers upwards and swore, “If I lie to you, may I be a bachelor for the rest of my life!”

Whenever he swore, he always swore this, never changing it from his youth until now.

As a result, despite being a popular Yu Beast Master, he remained single until now. It was unclear if it was due to his own reasons or because he had made too many poisonous oaths.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly as she listened to the oath. After thinking for a moment, she deliberately said, “No way, Uncle, you look so old and you’re still single? I thought your children would be as old as me.”

This was nothing short of a verbal assassination.

Li Songhai felt an arrow pierce his heart, and his already unpleasant mood worsened.

Just as he managed to suppress his irritable emotions, Qiao Sang spoke again, “Uncle, I feel like you’re lying to me. Are you not a Yu Beast Master? Although you don’t look great, how could a Yu Beast Master not find a partner?”

Li Songhai heard this and stood motionless in place for a long time.

A moment later, he pulled out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit one, took a deep drag, held it in for a long time, and then slowly exhaled.

Yes, why did he, a once glorious Yu Beast Master, still not have a partner at this age…

Was it really because he didn’t look good… Looking at the smoke above his head, Li Songhai could no longer suppress his emotions and kicked the door forcefully:

“You idiot! I think you’re crazy! You’re just a clueless fool! Hurry up and open the door for me! Don’t make me angry, or you’ll see how I deal with you!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Although she had said those words specifically to anger him, this mouthful of Ancient Mist dialect, identical to Sichuan dialect, still bewildered Qiao Sang for a moment.

Nowadays, the Alliance has unified the language, and mostly Mandarin is spoken. Even abroad, schools have compulsory courses on learning Mandarin from elementary school.

Qiao Sang also used Mandarin when communicating with people around her at school.

Hearing this mouthful of Ancient Mist dialect, which sounded exactly like Sichuan dialect, caught her off guard for a moment.

“Lulu.”

Water Luyana heard the cursing and poked her head out from the small puddle of water, staring at the door with a look of disgust.

Qiao Sang’s face lit up when she saw Water Luyana reveal her head without hesitation in front of her.

What did this mean?

It meant that Water Luyana’s guard against her was no longer so strong!

It truly was good to have someone to compare to…

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and spoke into the monitor, “Uncle, cursing won’t help. Unless you summon your Pet to show me, I won’t believe you’re a Yu Beast Master.”

If Li Songhai hadn’t been blinded by anger at that moment, he would have known to reply that he had only contracted a Shui Di Chong.

But now, he only wanted to prove that he was a Yu Beast Master.

“You watch carefully!”

Li Songhai flicked his hand, throwing away the unfinished cigarette, and then formed hand seals.

A Pet, entirely orange and brown, with a body composed of two rocks, one eye, four hands, and two feet, appeared lying with its eyes closed in a green star array.

Its hands were all on the upper rock of its body, each hand having five nails. The “fingers” were curved, more resembling an animal’s claws.

Qiao Sang narrowed her eyes at the image on the monitor, various thoughts flashing through her mind.

Sleeping at this time, it was clear that this Pet had a very normal schedule.

A green star array.

He was very likely a D-level Beastmaster. If he had contracted a Pet every time he advanced, then this person should have three Pets in his yu beast codex.

But he was relentlessly pursuing Water Luyana, so there was a high probability that he had a blank page in his yu beast codex reserved for Water Luyana.

“Did you see it? If you did, hurry up and open the door for me!” Li Songhai completely dropped his act.

“Lulu…”

Water Luyana heard this and felt it was time to find a new place to live.

She looked at Qiao Sang and then at the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost next to her. There was a moment of hesitation, but in the next second, her expression became firm.

Just as Water Luyana was about to melt into the water and leave, Qiao Sang turned to her, pointed at the monitor, and smiled, “You were forced to come to the Yuhua area by someone like this?”

“Lulu?”

Water Luyana looked confused, not understanding why Qiao Sang said that, as the human outside looked so fierce.

However, at that moment, Li Songhai’s gritting voice came from the monitor: “Why are you grabbing me?! I didn’t do anything! I just had a Pet run into this house and I can’t summon it back, so I want to go in and find it!”

Water Luyana’s expression froze when she heard the commotion from the monitor. She raised her head to look.

However, she was too short, and the monitor’s position was too high for her, so she couldn’t see the screen clearly.

“Do you want to see? I’ll hold you.” Qiao Sang understood immediately when she saw her looking up at the monitor, and extended her hand, saying.

“Lulu…”

Water Luyana hesitated, but ultimately, curiosity won out. She leaped up and jumped directly into Qiao Sang’s arms.

Although Qiao Sang was prepared, she was still somewhat excited inside.

No joke, this was the first time Water Luyana was willing to be so close to her!

What did this mean? It meant she was one step closer to contracting Water Luyana!

Suppressing the corners of her mouth from curling up, Qiao Sang held Water Luyana in front of the monitor and complained:

“This person isn’t very smart. He came in here as a security guard, but he’s acting so arrogant in front of a resident’s door in the middle of the night. He won’t be able to keep this job.”

When she saw that the person outside the door was actually the security guard she had seen the day before yesterday, she immediately called the property management without a second thought.

Later, she just provoked him with a few words, and he started speaking in dialect.

The basic principle for security personnel: all decisions in property management should be resident-led, prioritizing the residents’ interests. They should not see themselves as managers, but as service personnel.

A service person, in the middle of the night, disturbing residents and cursing, would definitely be fired.

Qiao Sang felt this person wasn’t very bright.

If she had tracked Water Luyana a thousand miles to this community, why would she be a security guard with restricted actions? Wouldn’t it be better to be an owner or a tenant?

Water Luyana looked at the human being restrained on the monitor screen, her expression shocked.

Is this person really that weak?!

…

“Let go of me!” Li Songhai wasn’t stupid. He knew that if security personnel could arrive at this time, it must have been the young girl in apartment 1705 who called.

The security guards’ dormitory was some distance from here, so for them to arrive now, a call must have been made much earlier.

He probably called while she was still ringing the doorbell.

Li Songhai was filled with anger, feeling that he had fallen for the young girl’s trick.

After all, he was a D-level Beastmaster and had received feedback from his Pet. With a surge of strength, he broke free from the two security guards’ restraint.

Thanks to the alliance leader with the wide-brimmed fedora! I just saw it when I posted the chapter. This is the first alliance leader. I have to say, today is my birthday. I originally wanted to take a leave today, but then I remembered I still owed a chapter yesterday and felt bad. As a result, when I posted, I saw an alliance leader. So excited!
