Chapter 347

"I already signed up long ago—you're only telling me this now…" Su Yang sighed and rubbed his nose. "You call yourself well-informed? I'm impressed!"

"Wait, what did you say? You signed up?"

"Mm!"

"Don't you need at least Platinum-tier Beast Tamer strength to register?"

"I am now!"

"No way! You're truly a monster!" Xu Jiutian refused to let it go. "Did you hear about the new gorgeous woman who joined Seventh Squad?"

Su Yang pressed his hand to his forehead. "Didn't you hear that from Chen Ke?"

"How did you know?"

"I told them!"

"…"

Su Yang left Xu Jiutian and returned to his room, opening a book and reading intently.

He might as well do something while idle.

There were still several days until the duel for the Fourteenth Squad captaincy.

That time wasn't enough for him to make a round trip into the depths of Mount Yandang.

He could only wait a few more days in the Emergency Unit.

Two days later, he suddenly heard a chorus of howls coming from Seventh Squad.

Then his door was knocked on.

He opened it—it was Chen Ke.

"Big Bro Su, Liu Mengyun's here!"

"You're almost thirty—can't you stay calm?"

At under thirty, reaching Gold-tier Beast Tamer level, Chen Ke was a minor prodigy!

"I'm single too!" Chen Ke grinned. "How could I not be excited?"

"Got designs on her?"

"Actually… no!" Chen Ke chuckled awkwardly. "They say Liu Mengyun is extremely proud—most Beast Tamers can't even get her to look at them. She'd never notice me!"

"Is she that proud? I didn't feel that."

Su Yang recalled the scenes in Mount Yandang—Liu Mengyun setting up his tent, cooking for him, preparing drinks.

He truly didn't sense any arrogance from her.

"You've never interacted with her!" Chen Ke said. "She's as cold as ice…"

At that moment, Chen Ke suddenly tensed and gave Su Yang a glance, lowering his voice: "She's coming!"

Then he bolted away like a flash.

Su Yang softly sniffed and felt the air temperature drop—he knew Liu Mengyun was near.

He stepped outside and saw her walking toward him.

Liu Mengyun's scent made Su Yang feel much better.

Before coming, she had bathed—her body carried the fresh fragrance of premium shower gel and shampoo.

On the small square outside the room sat several Seventh Squad members; they chatted casually but kept glancing at Liu Mengyun.

Liu Mengyun wore her usual icy, poker-faced expression, radiating coldness, clearly signaling "keep your distance."

She bowed to Su Yang: "Major, everything is taken care of."

"How is he? Did he like the gift?"

Liu Mengyun glanced at the Seventh Squad members on the square—Su Yang realized the doorway wasn't a place to talk.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned back inside: "Come in."

Su Yang pulled out a chair for Liu Mengyun; when he turned around, she had already closed the door…

Liu Mengyun didn't know that closing that door caused the Seventh Squad members on the square to explode in chatter!

Some even jumped straight off their chairs.

Members from other rooms also rushed out.

Clearly, Liu Mengyun had some connection with Su Yang!

"Damn! What's the relationship between Liu Mengyun and Su Yang?"

"When did they meet?"

"Did that kid beat us to it?"

"My goddess…"

"No romantic relationships allowed in the squad—Su Yang broke the rules! I'm filing a real-name report on him!"

"Go ahead and try. Su Yang's already a Platinum-tier Beast Tamer."

"Haha, I was joking—don't take it seriously!"

"…"

Liu Mengyun glanced around Su Yang's room.

Su Yang's room was spotless, neatly organized, odorless, with a thick book on the desk—its pages clearly marked with a bookmark.

This environment made her feel surprisingly at ease.

"Sit."

"Mm."

"You came back late."

"I waited ten days in Qixing City, watching Zhou Dahai sign the contract with the Azure Cloud Eagle before leaving." She pulled out a small video recorder. "It's all recorded."
