Chapter 213: Chapter 203 Ancient Misty Talks
Chapter 213 -203 Ancient Misty Talks
Seeing that the girl inside wasn’t responding to him, Li Songhai became increasingly anxious.
“I really didn’t deceive you,” he struggled to muster a friendly smile, trying to seem a bit more congenial. “If you don’t believe me, I can swear an oath to you.”
Who even believes in swearing oaths these days… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, but said, “Go ahead and swear.”
Hearing her response, Li Songhai thought she might be softening and immediately brought his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger together, swearing upwards: “If I’m lying to you, may I remain a bachelor for my entire life!”
That was the oath he always swore, from his youth to the present, never changing.
Consequently, despite being a popular Beast Tamer, he remained single to this day, and it was unclear whether it was due to his own issues or because he’d made too many such dreadful oaths.
Upon hearing this oath, the corners of Qiao Sang’s lips twitched. After thinking it over, she deliberately said, “Seriously? You look so old and are still single? I thought you’d have kids as old as me by now.”
A statement as hurtful as a stab to the heart.
Li Songhai felt like he’d been shot through the heart, his already foul mood turning even worse.
Once he managed to suppress the irritation swelling inside him, Qiao Sang spoke again at that moment, “Uncle, I feel like you are deceiving me. Aren’t you really a Beast Tamer? Even though you’re not that much to look at, since when can’t a Beast Tamer find a partner?”
At her words, Li Songhai stood motionless for a long time.
Moments later, he took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit one up, and took a deep drag, holding it in for a long while before slowly exhaling.
Indeed, why was he, a glorified Beast Tamer, still without a partner at his age…
Could it really be because he wasn’t much to look at… Watching the smoke rise above his head, Li Songhai could no longer contain his emotions and kicked the door hard:
“You damn brat! I think your head’s been kicked by a donkey! You keep jabbering nonsense and acting so dim-witted! Open the damn door right now! Don’t push me over the edge, or you’ll see how I deal with you!”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Although she had said those things precisely to rile him up, the dialect that perfectly matched Sichuanese took Qiao Sang aback for a moment.
Nowadays, the Alliance uses a unified language, with most people speaking Mandarin. Even in foreign countries, from a young age, schools have compulsory courses on learning Mandarin.
In school, Qiao Sang also used Mandarin for communication with others.
It took her a moment to process the Sichuanese-sounding dialect she suddenly heard.
“Shuilu Yana.”
Hearing the scolding, Shuilu Yana revealed its head from the small puddle of water, looking with disgust toward the direction of the door.
Qiao Sang saw that Shuilu Yana did not hesitate to show its head in front of her, and her face lit up with joy.
What did this mean?
It meant that Shuilu Yana’s wariness toward her had significantly diminished!
Having someone to compare with sure was beneficial…
Clearing her throat, Qiao Sang addressed the monitor, “Uncle, cursing won’t help. Unless you summon your Pet Beast and show it to me, I won’t believe you’re a Beast Tamer.”
If, at this moment, Li Songhai wasn’t blinded by rage, he would have replied that the only creature he had a contract with was a water sniveler.
But unfortunately, he was set on proving that he was a Beast Tamer.
“Watch closely!”
Li Songhai flicked his hand, tossing aside the unfinished cigarette, and then brought his hands together to form seals.
Suddenly, a Pet Beast with orange and brown stripes, a body composed of two rocks, a single eye, four hands, and two feet appeared lying with its eyes closed within the green Star Array.
All of its hands were on the upper rock of its body, each hand having five claw-like “fingers” that were curved, resembling more the paws of beasts.
