Chapter 158: Ambushed! Meng Xiyue's Beast Master Ability Sealed!
With Meng Xiyue's reminder, Lin Tianming chuckled, "Thanks for the reminder, Xiyue. You're so good to me. Don't worry, I won't rush my Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby!"
"Who's good to you? I've told you not to act like we're close when talking to me. Why did you call me Xiyue directly? I only reminded you because your Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby is cute and you lack experience as a Beast Master!"
Meng Xiyue felt that Lin Tianming could drive her crazy.
She had said many times that they were not close, but Lin Tianming kept chatting with her, calling her by a more intimate name, making it seem like they had a good relationship.
[This Lin Tianming, I kindly reminded him, and he really thinks we're close!]
[The grudge of you personally pushing me into the abyss in the previous life, I remember it well!]
[In this life, don't think I'll be as naive as in the previous life, developing any affection for you, this beast in human clothing!]
This wasn't the first time Lin Tianming had heard the thoughts of these reborn goddesses hating the original him, and he was used to it.
As long as he had this ability to eavesdrop on thoughts, he wasn't afraid of not being able to conquer them!
Next, Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue finished opening the last few blind boxes.
The remaining blind boxes did not contain more valuable beast prizes than Lin Tianming's.
But Meng Xiyue did open the second most valuable prize.
The student duo opening the two most valuable beast prizes made those low-end beast masters envious.
Lin Tianming enjoyed these envious looks, but Meng Xiyue beside him wasn't happy at all.
Thinking that her blind box prize wasn't as good as Lin Tianming's, she wore a sour face.
Seeing her unhappy look made Lin Tianming laugh.
Meng Xiyue, holding his Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby, followed him out of the Beast Store.
Feeling playful, Lin Tianming teased her, "Xiyue, you obviously opened the second most valuable prize, why do you look so unhappy?"
[Isn't it because of you? You have the nerve to ask! I really want to... forget it, now he's level eighteen and suppresses me. I'll wait until I reach level eighteen to talk!]
Meng Xiyue really wanted to chop off Lin Tianming, who was teasing her, but she knew she couldn't beat him. Reason told her not to mess with him now.
[Endure humiliation, bide time... Meng Xiyue, you can definitely avenge yourself, hang in there!]
Hearing Meng Xiyue's self-encouragement, Lin Tianming also cheered for her in his heart.
Hang in there, dear little Xiyue!
Just don't give up halfway through your revenge!
Laughing to himself, Lin Tianming continued to tease her, "Xiyue, you look so unhappy. How about giving me your blind box prize? That way, you won't see it and feel better!"
Meng Xiyue initially didn't want to respond to Lin Tianming, but seeing him teasing her more, she looked up and glared at him.
"Dream on! And you seem addicted to calling me Xiyue, huh? I forbid you to call me that!"
"Indeed, a bit addicted, Xiyue!"
"You..."
Angry to the point of being speechless, Meng Xiyue felt terrible.
Lin Tianming knew his limits. He gave the Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby a look, making it act as a diplomat.
The Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby already found Meng Xiyue to be a kind Beast Master. With its master's task, it happily helped its master.
Lying in Meng Xiyue's arms, it let out a cute roar, trying to please her.
Meng Xiyue liked the Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby. Seeing it wanting to play with her, she cuddled it, her bad mood quickly disappearing.
[This Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby is so cute!]
"Little one, you're so cute. I'll give you a special treat from our family! Here... this is a special water attribute Beast Biscuit, very tasty and nutritious. Eating it will help you grow faster!"
Seeing Meng Xiyue's good mood return, Lin Tianming admired her love as a Beast Master, unable to resist such cute awakened beast babies.
Taking this chance, Lin Tianming said, "Xiyue, our Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby really likes you. You can come to see it often, and I'm sure it will enjoy playing with you!"
Meng Xiyue honestly didn't want too deep a relationship with Lin Tianming, only wanting revenge.
But Lin Tianming's Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby was too cute and clingy, making her, a Beast Master, unable to resist.
"I'll come to see the little one when I have time, but don't think this will improve our relationship!"
Hearing Meng Xiyue's added words, Lin Tianming held back his laughter.
As long as she frequently came to see the Blue Crystal Water Tiger baby, how things would develop wouldn't be up to her.
"Yeah, by the way, Xiyue, I liked you better before our duel. Why did you seem like a different person after it?"
Stunned by his question, not feeling any change, Meng Xiyue asked, "Really?"
Lin Tianming, intentionally bringing this up, said, "Yeah! Before our duel, you were polite to everyone, including senior Yongyu and me. But after the duel, you seemed extremely irritable whenever you saw me."
Reminded by Lin Tianming, Meng Xiyue realized she couldn't calm down whenever she saw him after their duel.
In her normal state, she wouldn't be like this.
Even if she hated someone, she wouldn't show such irritability.
[It seems the memories of the past life and the recent defeat, combined, make me lose control because I can't see hope for revenge...]
[At least I can't let him think I hate him, or revenge will be harder!]
Thinking this, Meng Xiyue wanted to talk to Lin Tianming like before the duel. Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of danger.
Immediately, she said, "Not good, there's danger!"
Lin Tianming also sensed the strong danger and turned into a spirit to dodge.
While he perfectly avoided it, clanking chains swept past him.
But Meng Xiyue wasn't so lucky.
Just as she wanted to release her awakened beast from the Beast Seal, her hand was entangled by a chain.
The sealing power surged, instantly sealing Meng Xiyue's Beast Seal, making her unable to release her awakened beast for a while.
[This is sealing power! Damn... I can't fight like this!]
Feeling things were bad, Meng Xiyue looked in the direction of the chain attack, seeing a hooded man surrounded by chains appear.
[Such strong aura... I can't sense his level at all... which means his level far exceeds mine. With my Beast Master ability sealed, I can't possibly fight a high-level awakened being!]
The man's face was hidden in the hood's shadow, making it impossible to see his features.
The man walked toward Meng Xiyue, "Your talent is good. Join my Yellow-clad Church, and I'll make you the top awakened being in this world!"
As he spoke, the chains around him attacked Meng Xiyue again.
[It's over!]
Just as Meng Xiyue thought she would be captured, she felt herself being lifted and then fell into someone's arms.
Instinctively trying to struggle, she heard Lin Tianming's familiar voice in her ear.
"Don't move, or you'll slow down our escape. It's me, Lin Tianming!"
