Chapter 1153: A Woman from a Prestigious Family Doesn

"When you first became the top winner of the Southeast Youth Beast Tamer Competition, Zhenbao Pavilion already investigated you!" Liu Mengyun laughed. "I was curious, so I took a quick look."

"Oh!"

Su Yang didn't care.

His dossier should be in the hands of every faction, big or small, across the Federation.

That incident wasn't a secret—everyone at the school knew.

Back in the room, the maid left. Liu Mengyun closed the door and smiled.

"That girl is quite beautiful. She seems to like you a lot."

Su Yang asked in return: "What are you getting at?"

Liu Mengyun whispered in Su Yang's ear: "Do you want to take her with you?"

Su Yang paused slightly, his tone growing cold: "Why ask that? I've made it clear—I don't like people beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make me guess!"

Usually, Su Yang was easygoing and had a good temper.

But he disliked people playing games with him or testing him.

Testing meant distrust.

If there's no trust, why get close?

Su Yang had his own pursuits, his own goals.

He didn't want to waste energy on things that didn't deserve his time.

"What I mean is, if you want, you can take her with you!"

"Aren't you jealous?"

"Heh, of course it hurts!"

"Then why say that?"

Liu Mengyun asked: "I ask you—will you have any more cultivation slots like the ones you gave me and Xia Na?"

"Yes."

Su Yang knew the cultivation slot Liu Mengyun meant was the Compulsory Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll.

After defeating the Beast Emperor Hurricane Roar Tiger, Su Yang had spent all his other rewards, leaving only one Compulsory Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll.

He had considered giving it to Zhou Dahai, but Zhou Dahai refused to leave with him.

So he abandoned the idea.

Liu Mengyun wore an "I knew it" expression: "So who are you planning to give that slot to?"

"Not decided yet!"

"You're not thinking of giving it to Sovereign Jiazi, are you?"

Su Yang looked at Liu Mengyun in surprise.

How did Liu Mengyun know he had that thought?

The Compulsory Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll was no trivial thing—it must not be leaked.

This item could only be given to someone close.

Either they wouldn't betray him, or they dared not.

Sovereign Jiazi fell precisely into the latter category!

As a foreigner, she had no one to rely on but him.

Sovereign Jiazi was also clever enough to know what to do—and what not to do.

Su Yang wasn't afraid they'd talk—after all, even if they did, he had plenty of ways to handle it now!

He was afraid of wasting a Compulsory Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll.

Su Yang believed the essence of the Compulsory Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll was to cultivate a supreme genius—a loyal, outstanding ally—not to steal someone else's beast!

Su Yang had no need to steal others' beasts—he could simply cultivate whatever beast he wanted himself.

Each Compulsory Beast Cultivation Contract Scroll was precious. He didn't want to waste a slot!

"How did you know?"

Liu Mengyun rolled her eyes: "Of course I guessed!"

"Guessing every day—aren't you tired?"

"It's my hobby. Is that okay?"

"Of course it is!"

Su Yang rubbed his nose, thinking women loved to focus on these trivial details.

Men were simpler.

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly felt an urge to drag Zhou Dahai away.

"Have you ever considered Zhou Dahai?"

"I did. He refused." Su Yang didn't hide this. "He wants to stay in Da Qixing City. I won't force him."

Liu Mengyun's expression darkened. Only now did she realize Su Yang had no male confidants.

The reason was simple—Liu Mengyun had taken over all of Su Yang's affairs.

Su Yang never stayed long in one place and was always traveling.

Among those around him, he valued Xia Na for her rare Destiny-type beast, and Sovereign Jiazi for her exceptional talent—and because she was the island nation's sovereign…

Liu Mengyun guessed future arrangements would follow the same pattern.

Zhou Dahai would have been a perfect choice—but he refused.
