Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

131 The Upcoming Exotic Beast Horde

“Qian Yu, you’re so mean. Don’t bother our key sample.” Luo Ying chastised Qian Yu.

“Sample?” Shen Fei looked at Luo Ying curiously. “Are you talking about Li Ruoying?”

“Yes.” Luo Ying nodded as she continued to treat Qian Yu’s wound. “After years of research, Li Ruoying has been found to be the only person who can still maintain her consciousness after being infected by the poison of the exotic beast. Before her, no one else has ever been able to come out of the isolation room with their faculties intact.”

Luo Ying held her chin and her expression became serious. “The higher-ups have given me the order to find out the reason for her recovery, but I’m still quite mystified by the whole thing.”

“I see.” Shen Fei nodded his head.

!!

“Although that’s how we put it…” Luo Ying sighed in distress. “I still feel that she hasn’t really recovered. She seems to have changed a lot. She’s much gentler than before.”

“You’re serious? How can that person be called gentle?” Qian Yu pouted and shook his head vigorously. “Her sharp tongue alone is enough to kill people a hundred times over. If there’s a ranking for poisonous tongues in this camp, she’ll definitely be on it.”

Luo Ying frowned, obviously a little displeased, and her hand movements became a little rougher. “But that’s all in the past.”

“Owww! Be gentle! I won’t say anything more about her!” Qian Yu gritted his teeth in pain, grimacing and looking at Luo Ying sadly.

“Anyway…” Luo Ying clutched the bandage tightly, her eyes filled with worry. “I don’t think it’s that simple. Shen Fei, if you notice anything wrong with her, record it down and let me know, okay?”

When he looked at Luo Ying’s pleading eyes, Shen Fei’s hand rested on his chin, his entire body language showed his hesitance.

“This…” Although Luo Ying treated him very well, he did not have the time to care about this.

“…You can find someone else to do this.” Shen Fei spread out his hands and helplessly shrugged his shoulders. “I’m not familiar with Li Ruoying, after all. I don’t know what she was like before.”

“You’re right, I shouldn’t make things difficult for you… I’ll do it myself.”

Luo Ying simply put away her bandages. She turned around and walked toward the ladder of the watchtower.

“Wait!” Qian Yu rushed in front of Luo Ying and grabbed the ladder. “Recently, there have been a lot of exotic beasts moving around. For safety’s sake, I’ll keep watch with you tonight.”

“Qian Yu, don’t force yourself anymore.” Luo Ying shook her head decisively and slapped away his hand. “You and Wang Panzhi have been keeping watch for the past two days. You’ve been in a bad state since this morning.”

Luo Ying looked at him with worry. “Besides, you’re injured now. Go rest!”

Qian Yu gripped the ladder and shook his head firmly. “What if you get into an accident while you’re on your own? Let me go up with you. I’m so strong, it won’t be a problem to stay awake one more night.”

“No need!” Luo Ying shook her head. “I’m good enough for tonight. You can go and rest.”

“But—”

“I’ll keep Luo Ying company tonight. Qian Yu, you can go rest.”

After saying this, Shen Fei picked up his sleeping bag and walked to Luo Ying’s side.

“But—”

“No buts,” Shen Fei hurriedly interrupted the hesitating Qian Yu.

Qian Yu was a person who took care of his teammates. However, Luo Ying was not inferior to him either. If the two of them were to fight, the battle would probably last a long time.

“Go to sleep, Qian Yu. Let your wounds heal as soon as possible. If something similar happens again tomorrow, you can help more people.”

Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Qian Yu was flabbergasted. He blinked and slowly lowered his eyes.

“…You’re right. Then, I’ll leave the night watch to you guys.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the rest area to the side, then obediently lay down.

“Rest well, Qian Yu.” Luo Ying gratefully winked at Shen Fei, and then quickly climbed up the ladder.

‘Really…’

Shen Fei helplessly shook his head and climbed up the ladder to the top of the watchtower.

…

“I’m really grateful for what you did just now.”

The moment they reached the top of the watchtower. Luo Ying immediately sat beside Shen Fei, turning her head and smiling sweetly at him.

“That guy is really… He’s already injured to that extent, yet he still wants to show off.”

“Senior Qian Yu is just more concerned about his teammates.” Shen Fei smiled gently and slowly leaned against the pillar behind him.

“He’s a good teammate indeed.” Luo Ying turned her head slightly, there was a faint line of worry between her eyebrows. “But he’s pushing himself too hard. It’s the eve of the exotic beast horde. If this continues, his body will collapse sooner or later.”

“I was just about to ask about that.” Shen Fei turned his head and looked at Luo Ying. “What’s the exotic beast horde you and he were talking about?”

“Didn’t your school teach you this?”

“No, they didn’t.” Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders. He really did not remember such a thing.

Luo Ying’s eyes widened slightly, looking a little surprised. “Shouldn’t that be taught in the second year of school?… Maybe they just reformed it. In short, the exotic beasts in the wormhole have their own period of activity. And when these exotic beasts come out in large numbers, it’s called an exotic beast horde.

“To ordinary Beastmasters, just one exotic beast is already hard enough to deal with, so an exotic beast horde is even more dangerous!”

Shen Fei nodded. “In that case, should we evacuate in advance, or at least let the students evacuate?”

“I’ve already told the school council about this, but they didn’t seem to take my words to heart.” Luo Ying let out a long sigh. “The school council seems to think that it’s just right for these students to deal with this kind of dangerous thing, so they didn’t agree to my appeal.”

She pouted helplessly, looking more depressed. “When I first heard that the school exams would be held here, I felt that the person who made this decision had a screw loose in his head.

“How many Beastmasters have we changed to stand guard for each batch of graduates? Take a look, how many of them actually have the strength to handle exotic beasts? They can’t! They just don’t have the strength!”

Luo Ying shrugged helplessly and looked at the jungle in the distance in distress.

“It’s a pity, if only I knew someone on the school council, maybe I could change their minds…”

“…I arranged this on purpose.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Aloy quietly walked up to them from behind. “This exotic beast tide… It’s very important to all the students who are participating in this examination! We definitely can’t miss this!”
