Chapter 38

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's broken-down voice, Jiang Che raised his eyebrows slightly, then a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"How about this, to test your resolve, stand behind me first."

Jiang Che stood on Luo Shuiyan's shoulder and raised a paw to point behind him.

He was actually too lazy to take on a lackey; after all, he currently relied mainly on the Lying Flat System, so where would he find the energy to take care of a lackey?

Furthermore, what Jiang Che had obtained was the Lying Flat System, not some overlord system for dominating the world; he could increase his strength just by lying flat, so what was the point of recruiting a lackey?

But since Luo Shuiyan wanted to find Hu Xiaoxiao as a teammate, Jiang Che didn't mind helping her out.

Looking at the little girl's appearance, she was clearly someone who broke down easily.

Jiang Che also wanted to see just how far this Little Tiger could go. "Alright Boss, I'm coming over right now!"

Hearing Jiang Che's words, the Little Tiger immediately looked joyful and cheerful.

Without a second word, it jumped straight off the table, not even glancing at Hu Xiaoxiao, and stood directly behind Luo Shuiyan.

Even Jiang Che was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected this Little Tiger to act so decisively.

Good grief, it wasn't even paying attention to its own Beast Tamer anymore.

This series of actions was done in one smooth motion, as if its Beast Tamer, Hu Xiaoxiao, didn't exist at all.

Seeing that her Spirit Beast not only fawned over Jiang Che but now, at a single word from him, had run behind him without even looking at her,

the little girl was so angry she was practically going crazy.

She really hadn't expected that the Spirit Beast she had pinned her high hopes on would be so pathetic.

Hu Xiaoxiao gasped for air, feeling as if she were having trouble breathing.

Looking at the Little Tiger acting like a sycophant, there wasn't a shred of dignity left for a powerful tiger.

Hu Xiaoxiao was so annoyed and embarrassed that her face flushed red, her cheeks looking like ripe red apples.

She looked very cute, making one want to reach out and pinch her.

Although Hu Xiaoxiao was not as moving and charming as Yi Zimeng, she had a certain innocence and cuteness despite her youthful appearance.

"Xiaohu, come back here right now!"

"Have you forgotten who your master is? I am your Beast Tamer! Do you want to see what you are doing right now?"

Hu Xiaoxiao's voice trembled with anger; she had never expected these things to happen.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to follow my Boss!"

The Little Tiger's attitude remained the same as before; having witnessed the tyrannical Kirin pressure on Jiang Che, it had firmly chosen to cling to a powerful figure.

Being a lackey for someone else wouldn't do, but being a lackey for a Mythical-level Bloodline Kirin Spirit Beast? Was that even just being a lackey?! One had to know that while Legendary-Level Spirit Beasts were rare, there were still quite a few of them.

But the traces of a Mythical-level Spirit Beast were truly like a divine dragon seeing its head but not its tail; no one had ever encountered one!

Now that it had finally sensed the aura of a Kirin, if it didn't hurry up and cling to this powerful figure, it would simply be brainless.

This wasn't being a lackey; this was getting on an elevator to ascension! "Fine, you're good, since you've run over there, don't ever come back!"

Hu Xiaoxiao was about to explode with anger; she hadn't expected her own Contracted Spirit Beast to be snatched away by someone else just like that.

If it had been tempted by some other rich and irresistible condition, that would be one thing.

The key was that with just one look from the other party, her Spirit Beast had knelt, and it had chosen to fawn unilaterally without any hesitation.

At this moment, she could only stomp her feet in place in anger.

"Uh, not to say, but shouldn't you go back? If your master doesn't feed you, won't you starve to death..."

Jiang Che looked at the Little Tiger and said in a deep voice. He was very realistic; he currently relied on Luo Shuiyan to provide food and drink, so how could he have the ability to raise a lackey?

Not to mention that looking at the Little Tiger's blockheaded appearance, one could tell it was a huge eater...

Such a big tiger was fine to pet when there was nothing to do, but if it were really raised at home, just solving the food and drink issue would be a big problem for the two of them.

"Don't worry Boss, whether there is food or not, I am determined to follow you!"

The Little Tiger didn't think that much; its attitude remained very firm.

"Get lost! Go back to your master! If no one is raising you, what will you use to honor your Boss?!"

"Ah? Boss, does this mean you've accepted me?!"

"Hahahaha, I'm getting lost, I'm getting lost, I'll go back right now!"

Hearing Jiang Che's words, the Little Tiger immediately beamed with joy and ran back to Hu Xiaoxiao's side.

"You little traitor, why did you come back?!"

Looking at the Little Tiger that had returned to her feet, Hu Xiaoxiao's cheeks were puffed up with anger.

"Pfft, if my Boss hadn't told me to come back, I wouldn't have wanted to come back either."

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words, the Little Tiger didn't bow its head at all and retorted directly.

With a Mythical Kirin as a boss, why would it still need to indulge its Beast Tamer?!

Hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao was so angry she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Classmate Hu Xiaoxiao, how have you considered it? Are you willing to form a team with me?"

"Not willing! Not willing!"

Hearing Luo Shuiyan's words, Hu Xiaoxiao refused flatly.

Just kidding, her Spirit Beast had been snatched away, and she still wanted to ask her to form a team?! "If you are not willing, then I will disclose the news that you are here. I believe your father and your grandfather will soon send people to pick you up."

"It is true, the world of Beast Tamers is very dangerous. If you are left to roam outside alone, what should you do if something happens?"

"It is better for you to return to your elders as soon as possible; it is safer, and it will also make them feel more at ease..."

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's flat refusal, Luo Shuiyan also nodded and said earnestly.

"But having said that, if it is to be your teammate, it is not impossible..."

Before Luo Shuiyan could finish her words, Hu Xiaoxiao changed her tone and interrupted her.

"Joining your team is fine, but don't you think about ordering me around."

"Rest assured, I absolutely will not make any excessive demands."

Luo Shuiyan smiled and nodded.

"However, I must state in advance that as the captain of the squad, I have the responsibility and authority to direct the battle."

"If we enter a combat state, you must all obey my direction and orders."

With this, the four-person squad assembled by Luo Shuiyan was finally complete.

Luo Shuiyan also breathed a slight sigh of relief; now that she was living a new life, relying on the memories and experience of her past life, she could say she was constantly advancing the process.

Entering the Secret Realm with this current configuration could be considered having a bit more security.

"Let's go, come home with me. Since we are teammates, we naturally need to spend time together day and night to become more in sync."

The team assembly was complete, and Luo Shuiyan gathered Lin Xueer and the other three to leave the academy together.
