CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 229: THE TWO LITTLE TROUBLEMAKERS!

Gu Xing noticed something was wrong the moment he stepped into this area.

All around was a carefully arranged romantic scene, with soft lighting and a faint scent of flowers wafting in the air.

Not far away, several pairs of Guardian Beasts and their masters were intimately snuggled together, creating an ambiguous yet warm atmosphere.

He paused slightly, then turned to look at Qing Shuang beside him.

The girl’s cheeks were visibly flushed, her eyes flickering, and her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, exuding a rare nervousness and shyness.

This....

Even if Gu Xing was slow to react, yet....

In this place right now, coupled with Qing Shuang’s unusual demeanor, he couldn’t possibly fail to understand her thoughts.

But now, it was certainly impossible to focus on these matters.

Not to mention the Demon Race eyeing like a tiger, even Ying Bing’s fate was still uncertain.

If he indulged in romantic sentiments, it would not only be irresponsible to himself but also a neglect of all Longxia Country.

Moreover...

Even if a choice had to be made, his first choice would surely be...

Liu Li!

But since Qing Shuang had mustered the courage to bring him here, he couldn’t reject her outright; that would be too cruel.

He had to think of a way not to hurt her, and to diffuse the awkwardness of the moment.

In a flash, Gu Xing had a stroke of inspiration, raised his hand and waved...

Shua!

Two figures instantly appeared beside him.

"Since we’re here, let’s take a walk together!"

Gu Xing pretended to be relaxed as he spoke, while naturally taking Lilith and Sally’s hands.

Lilith and Sally, still in a dazed state, were pulled forward by Gu Xing to walk ahead.

Lilith blinked, looked down at her small hand being held, and then looked around at the surroundings, instantly understanding something, and a playful smile curved her lips.

Human emotional games?

This is interesting!

As for Qing Shuang, upon seeing the sudden appearance of the two, the blush on her face instantly faded, restoring her chilly demeanor.

Her tenderness would only be reserved for Fei Yue and Gu Xing!

However...

There was a fleeting hint of disappointment deep in her azure eyes.

But this emotion was quickly suppressed by her.

Being able to accompany the master was already enough; one shouldn’t ask for more...

Thinking of this, she quickly followed along. Now that Sally’s body hadn’t recovered, as Gu Xing’s only combat-type Guardian Beast on his side, she had to stay vigilant at all times to ensure the master’s safety.

However, just as they took a few steps forward, a familiar figure suddenly appeared.

"Master, master, it’s bad!"

Fei Yue’s voice carried a hint of panic, "Liu Li and Vera have torn down someone’s shop!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing blinked incredulously.

Did he hear wrong?

"Liu Li and Vera... tore down someone’s shop?"

He wondered what had happened between the two while he was away.

Moreover, wasn’t Fei Yue mediating the conflict between the two?

Why did something still go wrong?!

Without hesitation, Gu Xing immediately recalled his Guardian Beasts into the Beast Taming Space and instructed Fei Yue to lead him to the scene.

On the way there, Fei Yue also apologized to him.

"Master, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault..."

Fei Yue originally wanted the two to resolve their differences through a mini-game, but it didn’t go as planned...

The two were essentially pecking at each other like novices!

Moreover, the game’s difficulty was too high.

The two instantly got heated.

Unable to contain their momentum temporarily...

Resulting in...

The whole shop being trashed.

Most importantly, both were Guardian Beasts without a penny on them.

Naturally, they couldn’t compensate the owner for the losses, hence Fei Yue immediately turned to Gu Xing.

Understanding the ins and outs, several lines appeared on Gu Xing’s forehead.

An Angel, an Elf, and they could actually get heated over a human world game.

Ridiculous!

When they arrived, they saw Liu Li and Vera at the center of the crowd, their heads hung like children who had done something wrong.

The shopkeeper stood in front of them, wanting to speak but daring not to open his mouth...

These two were humanoid Guardian Beasts; surely there must be a powerful Beast Master behind them. How could an ordinary person dare to pursue it?

"No, no problem, the shop is destroyed as it is." The shopkeeper forced a smile.

This statement made the two hang their heads even lower.

Though powerful, they were inherently good and wouldn’t escape responsibility.

Moreover, they knew that their master, Gu Xing, valued principles the most.

"Sincerely sorry."

Gu Xing stepped forward quickly, first glancing helplessly at his Guardian Beasts, then sincerely apologized to the shopkeeper, "We’ll compensate for all the losses."

As he spoke, he took out several Star Stones from the Beast Taming Space.

While lacking cash, he had plenty of Star Stones.

Seeing the Star Stones in Gu Xing’s hand, the shopkeeper was frightened and stood dumbfounded.

Due to the Northern Territory’s fall, the price of one Low Tier Star Stone had been inflated to several hundred thousand yuan.

And now, this Beast Master had several dozen Star Stones in hand, enough to buy ten of his shops.

"Master, that’s too much." The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand.

Gu Xing didn’t give him a chance to refuse, placing the Star Stones in the shopkeeper’s hand and directly led Vera and Liu Li away.

It was too embarrassing, he really didn’t feel like staying any longer!

After leaving, Gu Xing was prepared to end this short relaxation.

Next, he planned to head to the Qingqiu Race.

Now he needed to ensure cooperation between the Qingqiu Race and the Human Race.

Then they might have a chance to reclaim the entrance to the Divine Secret Realm and obtain the Human Race’s third Divine Pattern.

Furthermore...

He intended to try, to see if he could contract Tushan Yueli as his Guardian Beast.

The Snow Woman had no possibility of contracting, but there was a slight possibility with Tushan Yueli.

While leaving, Liu Li and Vera followed behind Gu Xing.

The two exchanged a glance and spoke in unison:

"Master, we’re sorry, we were wrong."

Looking at their obedient apology, Gu Xing swallowed back his intended reprimands and finally just sighed:

"You... should be more careful in the future!"

However, seeing them almost returning to normal now, Gu Xing was somewhat relieved.

Although Fei Yue’s plan hadn’t produced the desired effect.

But the unexpected incident they caused surprisingly reduced their conflict quite a bit.

Overall, it was a good thing.

Meanwhile, Fei Yue sneaked to Qing Shuang’s side, her eyes bright and lowered her voice to ask:

"Sister, how was it? Did the date go smoothly?"

Qing Shuang, upon hearing this, her eyes flickered slightly.

She gently shook her head without saying another word.

In the next second, her figure transformed into a stream of light and entered the Beast Taming Space.

"Hey? Sister!"

Fei Yue reached out only to grasp empty air.

Her face was filled with a bit of confusion.

What did sister mean by this?

Was it a success or not?
