Chapter 152: How Dare You?

“Let’s go.”

Su Bai slung the backpack over his shoulder and walked ahead. He decided to walk on snow rather than ride the cub on the way back.

“Howl!” Are you angry?

The cub rubbed his head with its own.

Having evolved into the Sanctuary Wood Spirit, it was taller than him and could touch his head with its head.

“No, I just wanna play in the snow.”

He shook his head and pinched a ball of snow with his hand.

“Howl!” So what are we eating for breakfast?

Purple Jade glanced at him in inquiry.

“I want to eat fish, so let’s catch one later,” replied Su Bai, looking at the pale green lake.

“Howl!” Then I will catch one for you. Do you want a carp or a grass carp?

The cub stuck out its pink tongue and licked its owner’s face lovingly.

“I want to eat carp.”

Su Bai ruffled the cub’s head, feeling as if it were rearing him instead of the other way around.

The cub licked his face more and more.

Then how big of a carp do you want?

The cub walked gracefully and continued licking his face as if it were licking an Oreo.

They soon arrived at the reservoir, where two days of heavy snow had made a thick layer of ice on the surface.

Snap! The cub patted it, causing the ice on the entire lake surface to crack.

Immediately after, it stuck vines into the water to catch carps of different sizes.

“Just this one will do; let the others go.” Su Bai chose a small carp weighing more than a catty and said.

“Howl!” Nodding, the cub threw the other carps into the water and walked back to where he pointed.

Back home, Su Bai temporarily threw the carp into the fish tank and then placed the spiritual fruits inside his laboratory.

After looking at the three space backpacks hanging on the laboratory wall, he decided to give one each to his parents and younger brother.

Except for his original backpack, the other two were obtained by killing the four criminals in the insect ruins.

Time flew very quickly, and the snow slowly melted, but the weather grew even colder.

In the blink of an eye, it had been seven days since he obtained a professional Pet Tamer certificate, and all his pets had recovered at this point. The dino had become a high-level warlord again, and its foundation had also become more solid.

This morning, Su Bai roused early, washed up, and had a simple breakfast. After feeding the pets, he put on his backpack and rode on the cub.

“Come on; let’s go!”

He patted the cub’s warm back and said after keeping the pets in his contract book.

“Howl!”

Purple Jade raised its head and trotted out.

“Be careful outside; remember not to fight head-on with others or offend those you can’t afford to provoke.” At the entrance of the manor, his mother handed over a packet of dried sweet potatoes as she advised him to be careful. “Also, remember to take good care of Ruoxue. She’s just a girl yet she’s accompanying you on an adventure. Treat her well.”

“I will, mom. I will be careful; don’t worry.” Su Bai nodded helplessly.

“Remember that your life is the most important thing; everything else is merely worldly possessions.” His father also exhorted.

“I know, I know.”

He responded and waved them goodbye.

He left the manor and soon arrived at the town.

“Over here!” Chen Ruoxue waved to him in the distance.

“Let’s go and activate our licenses.”

Su Bai approached her on the cub’s back and jumped off to take her hand.

“Wait, I got you something.”

Smiling, Chen Ruoxue reached into her backpack and soon took out a black and white striped scarf, which she reached out to wrap around his neck.

After tying it nicely, she took a look at him and nodded in satisfaction. “It’s pretty good; let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Su Bai looked at the scarf and nodded, feeling very moved.

“Howl! (?o?╰╯o??)”

At this time, Purple Jade suddenly approached Chen Ruoxue coquettishly and then lifted a paw to press against the girl’s chest.

After rubbing, the cub nodded in satisfaction. Yes, it’s squishy as the book said, much softer than Zhou Ling’an’s.

Chen Ruoxue looked dazedly at the pet and only recovered when it had already kept its paw and was now looking at her with a lovely expression.

“Boyfie, did you teach your pet to do this? You are shameless and perverted.” She turned around to glare at him.

“Do you think I could’ve taught her that? I’ve never even touched your chest before; why would I let Jade—”

“You... shut up.”

She quickly covered his mouth, feeling shy although no one was around.

“I really did not teach her to do that. I already warned Jade before, but she said that you are not an outsider, so she wanted to see if your chest is soft.”

Su Bai shrugged.

“You are asking for a beating! Shut up!” Her face flushed as red as an apple, embarrassed to talk about this in public.

“Okay, I won’t talk about it anymore. Jade, you’re not allowed to do this again, or else I’ll reduce your meal.” The boy warned his pet.

He really did not expect the cub to touch his girlfriend’s chest. Furthermore, it had moved so quickly that he had no time to stop it.

“Howl! ( ?へ ?)” Touching your girlfriend’s chest once is no biggie. Hmph! Fine. I won’t touch her anymore. Once I evolve again, I’ll just touch my own chest and not let stupid Ah Bai touch me!

The cub raised its head disdainfully.

Su Bai: “...”

He was about to go crazy.

No, he had to find some time to instill courtesy in the cub, or else it would bring big trouble.

“Hmph. I’ve seen through you.” Chen Ruoxue glared at him.

Su Bai wanted to cry but no tears came out. He really had not done anything from start to finish and had not said a single word.

When they reached the pet center, they took out their Pet Tamer certificates for the staff to activate.

“Congratulations on becoming a professional Pet Tamer. This is the list of summoner skills; you can choose one. Every full-fledged Pet Tamer can get one for free.”

The young lady smiled sweetly and handed back their now-activated licenses, along with two copies of ‘Professional Pet Tamer Handbook’ and skill forms.

Su Bai had long known that becoming a professional Pet Tamer could get him a basic summoner skill for free, which was why he came here.

After looking at the table, he found that although the above were all the skills of junior summoners, many were exclusive to the Alliance and could not be bought outside.

“I want this Heat Insulation skill; thank you.” He looked at the lady in uniform and spoke.

Once the skill was activated, it could increase his fire resistance, which was of great help to a Pet Tamer like him when entering extreme environments such as volcanoes.

“I want this Cold-proof skill; thank you!” exclaimed Chen Rouxue.

The skill could make people resist the cold better and was suitable for some extremely cold environments. It could also reduce the damage of some ice-attribute skills.

“Okay, please sign here; I will let someone bring those skills over.”

The lady took out two electronic confirmation skills.

After signing their names, they quickly collected two skill cards, one red and one blue.

Su Bai examined his card. The material seemed to be made of some kind of crystal, and the card had a special pattern on it.

“Let’s go.” He put the card away and called.

His girlfriend nodded and held his hand.

After leaving the pet center, they rode on the cub toward the Blood Moon Bar.

“Be careful.”

Su Bai took her hand and walked inside with the cub.

The world spun and the scene changed instantly. In a single step, they had appeared in the desolate place of the Scarlet Wilderness.

“Look, it’s snowing here, too! It seems even colder than on Blue Planet,” exclaimed Chen Rouxue.

Cold wind was blowing on the wasteland, and there was unmelted snow in the distance, showing a temperature of at least ten degrees below zero.

“Let’s go to the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar first to check on some stuff before deciding where to take risks at.”

Su Bai climbed onto the cub’s back and reached out to pull Chen Ruoxue up.

“With our strengths now, we should be able to directly pass through the mountain, right?” Chen Ruoxue pointed to the mountain in front and asked. Previously, they had been frightened by commander monsters and had taken a detour.

“Of course, we won’t make a detour this time. Not even Jesus can stop me.” He hugged her slender waist and whispered.

At this moment, terrifying spiritual fluctuations suddenly erupted from the two people in all directions, and several terrifying attacks came from five directions.

“Howl! (▼皿▼#)”

The cub howled angrily, letting infinite thorns drill from the ground to form a huge rattan ball which protected them firmly in the center.

The terror attacks collided with the rattan ball, tearing and penetrating through the ten-meter thick ball layer by layer.

“Who gave you the courage to chase me down!” shouted Su Bai angrily yet indifferently.

“Roar!”

With a roar that stunned the world, a blood sea with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared out of thin air. Endless bloody breath erupted, terrifying and mysterious, vast and infinite.

At the same time, in the Scarlet Wilderness, the power of many blood subordinates was drained and transferred onto the dragon.

In an instant, its breath broke through to the commander level, and its body size instantly grew to a hundred meters in size to evolve into a Blood Dragon directly.

“What a terrifying aura; let’s withdraw!”

The person who attacked did not expect that Su Bai had a Blood Dragon. This terrifying aura and coercion made their skin crawl.

“Roar!”

Alas, wherever they ran, the Blood Dragon chased. It flung a Blood Sea with its tail all of a sudden, directly drowning this group of people and their pets inside.

It flicked its tail again, sending a wave of bloody light. Dozens of blood cells exploded as the pets and people all combusted and turned into nutrients for the Blood Sea.

“They really thought I was a weakling? How dared blood pets come and attack me?”

Su Bai sat down and narrowed his eyes. Now hundreds of meters long, his pet dragon lay behind him as it stared at the surroundings with its lively eyes.

This was the Ancestor Blood Dragon, which had absorbed almost all the power of the blood origin and evolved into a Blood Dragon. Its huge size was like a divine demon bred from chaos, much larger than even those giant dragons.

“Lass, don’t go into my contract book for now; just stay around my wrist.” Su Bai raised his wrist.

“Roar!”

Scarlet light radiated over the dragon’s body as it activated its shape-shifting skill to turn into a mini-size pet. It wrapped itself around its owner’s wrist like a dragon-shaped bracelet.

Su Bai originally did not want this to happen, but those people were trying to bully him. They chased after him wherever he went, presuming that they could kill him.

Thus, he no longer wanted to endure it. Did they not want to check his pet dragon’s specific data? He would let them try, provided that they had the ability to survive.

The strength of the Blood Dragon, which had absorbed the power of the bloodline and advanced to the commander grade, was now completely different. With its Ancestor Blood Dragon’s qualifications, it was tough and unrivaled.

As for those who brought blood pets to deal with the Blood Dragon, they were simply laughable. Were they courting death by playing with the Blood Power in front of an ancestor?

“Let’s move on.”

Su Bai climbed onto the cub.

Chen Ruoxue also climbed on its back and hugged his waist. “Is it alright for your dragon to break out directly like that?” she asked gently.

“It doesn’t matter, but we don’t have a trump card anymore. We just need to add some more along the way.”

He shook his head.

The correct way for the Ancestor Blood Dragon to rise up was to use its blood, infect other monsters, and wait for them to become stronger before finally swallowing their lives to complete itself.

It was a dragon belonging to the evil camp, so it was natural to kill others to become stronger.

However, it was too wasteful to swallow those blood subordinates so early; after all, they had not become much stronger yet.

“I’m just a rookie; I can’t help you in this situation.” Chen Ruoxue was a bit uncomfortable.

“It’s not your fault; don’t blame yourself. No one can help when facing this sudden siege.” Su Bai shook his head.

“Let’s change our appearance; there are too many people targeting me. It should be safer to change our looks.” He added.

“Then what do you want me to become?” asked his girlfriend suddenly.

He almost told her to transform into Sakurajima Mai1, but he fortunately held his tongue. “Anything will do.”

“Okay, then.”

Chen Ruoxue activated the Thousand Variations skill to change her appearance.

The two changed their appearances and then moved onward. This time, Su Bai’s group made a beeline for the mountain in front as he let his pet use the First Dragon Blood to infect many monsters with great potential on the way.

This mountain, which was previously difficult for them to cross, was now no longer an obstacle.

“Have you noticed that there are a lot more people in this bazaar compared to before?”

Chen Ruoxue realized that something was amiss upon going in.

“Two or three times more. Let’s find out what’s going on.” Su Bai nodded.

Soon, they found someone to ask. The reason why there were more people was that the Scarlet Auction was about to start.

He got a rough list of the auctions.

“A lot of treasures will appear there; I suggest that we participate. If we can buy some good treasures, it will be of great help to us. What do you think?” Chen Ruoxue looked at the auction list and asked.
