Chapter 25: Little Chili and Big Vajra are a perfect match
Quickly finishing the pork trotter rice, Ge Bai scooped up Xiao Tao and sent her to her shoulder, placing her beside Da Liu.
Then she got up and walked toward "Hengran Wuguan".
Just as she was crossing the street, Ge Bai saw a burly man with a bare chest walk out of "Hengran Wuguan".
The big man was carrying a dozen wooden buckets in his two hands.
Beside him followed a giant ape-like creature much burlier than his body, holding full wooden buckets in its chest, blocking the line of sight completely.
Ge Bai didn't see clearly what specific variety it was; it was probably a pet beast like a Black Ape Vajra.
The man and the pet walked straight toward the landlady's restaurant.
"Landlady, we're here to return the wooden buckets; we'll put them at your door. We need these wooden bucket rice tonight too; I'll come to pick them up later."
The big man and the giant ape piled the mountain-like wooden buckets at the entrance of the restaurant.
Ge Bai looked at it with black lines all over her face.
So the landlady recommended this martial arts hall because this martial arts hall ordered food here?
She really wanted to ask: Landlady, did you really recommend this with a clear conscience???
But since she was already standing at the entrance of Hengran Wuguan, after thinking about it, Ge Bai still pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and stepped into the martial arts hall.
Just look, looking doesn't cost money.
Stepping into the main gate of Hengran Wuguan, a crisp wind chime sound rang out.
*Hmm? * She shouldn't have bumped into the wind chime when pushing the door.
Ge Bai was attracted by the wind chime sound and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a very lush cluster of double-flowered lily-of-the-valley grass, standing on the counter, shaking strings of milky white little flower buds.
"Hey! An Xin, stop slacking off! A guest is here."
The sound of the wind chime was light and pleasant, but the voice of this cluster of double-flowered lily-of-the-valley grass shouting at its own Spirit Plant Master wasn't gentle at all.
"Ah, hello, welcome to Hengran Wuguan."
A thin little girl stood up from behind the counter, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and greeted Ge Bai in a scholarly manner.
Ge Bai looked at her, then looked at the lily-of-the-valley grass.
She smiled shyly, touched the leaves of the lily-of-the-valley grass, and didn't explain anything.
The lily-of-the-valley grass was still nagging, "Cheer up, An Xin. Come on!"
Ge Bai pretended not to hear the voice of the lily-of-the-valley grass, just looked at them and praised them politely.
"The wind chime sound of the lily-of-the-valley grass is very nice."
Da Liu whispered on Ge Bai's shoulder, "This duck voice, what's so nice about it."
Ge Bai glanced at him, signaling him to shut up; fortunately, Da Liu's voice was small, and the lily-of-the-valley grass didn't hear it.
"Ah, thank you for your praise."
The little girl walked out from behind the counter.
"My name is An Xin, the front desk of Hengran Wuguan; did you make an appointment for a specific need when you came to our martial arts hall? Or are you just here to look around?"
A bit restrained, but it could be seen that the little girl was very seriously performing the front desk work tasks.
"No appointment, just heard someone recommend 'Hengran Wuguan' is quite good, so I came to see."
"I mainly want to train the pet beast's battle skills."
Ge Bai said very briefly.
"Then I'll take you around our martial arts hall."
An Xin walked forward two more steps, guiding Ge Bai toward the inner door on the left.
Ge Bai followed suit and walked in, only to find that the floor area was really not small.
"Here on the left is our physical training room, and on the right is the spirit beast body index detection area."
"Our martial arts hall has a giant ape-type spirit beast basic qualification detection point certified by the Alliance."
Speaking of this, An Xin looked very proud.
Sure enough, this was a martial arts hall mainly oriented toward giant ape-type spirit beasts.
Ge Bai recalled the giant ape-type spirit beast skills she had learned; most were based on strength and explosion, which didn't seem particularly suitable for Da Liu.
Thinking this, she was a bit uninterested, but it wasn't good to turn around and leave now.
Plus, she could clearly feel that Da Liu and Xiao Tao were both interested, so she followed along.
"This floor is mainly based on self-training."
An Xin took Ge Bai to the second floor by elevator; as soon as she got out of the elevator, she could see three battle fields arranged neatly in the open space.
Among them, one field was even designed in the style of a fighting cage.
"This is the battle area of the martial arts hall." Ge Bai glanced at the field and could see four or five pairs of giant apes fighting each other.
Just said that the floor height of this martial arts hall wasn't low; looking at these giant apes, she understood why Hengran Wuguan had such a floor height.
"Are you the martial arts hall master's daughter?"
Ge Bai remembered what the landlady said and suddenly asked An Xin curiously without thinking too much.
An Xin was stunned, then hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands.
"No, no, no, I'm not; I'm here for a part-time job at the martial arts hall."
An Xin said while looking for something in the field.
"Look, look."
She pointed to the field on the far left for Ge Bai.
"That girl wearing a red sportswear is our martial arts hall master's daughter, named Ran Caijiao; she is very powerful."
It sounded like a fiery and lively name.
Ge Bai looked in the direction An Xin pointed, and a girl in red was putting her hands on her hips and lecturing two other big men wearing white martial arts uniforms.
Looking at her back, the girl was only about 160, and the two 180-tall big guys were lectured with their heads down.
It was just a bit far, so it wasn't very clear what was said.
"*Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling ding-a-ling. *"
The wind chime grass's sound was exceptionally penetrating; Ge Bai only then noticed that the second-floor training ground was hollowed out, and she could see the first-floor entrance by walking two steps to the railing.
An Xin also heard the wind chime grass's sound and was a bit anxious; this was another guest at the door, but she couldn't throw Ge Bai here alone at this time.
Ge Bai understood.
"You go ahead and get busy; I'll look around myself, it doesn't matter."
"Ah, okay, okay, thank you; then you look around as you like, call me anytime if you need anything."
An Xin gave Ge Bai an apologetic smile and turned to walk downstairs quickly.
Ge Bai looked around and lifted her legs to walk toward the field where Ran Caijiao was.
She was still lecturing *blah, blah, blah*.
"What kind of stuff is that Vajra Arm you're practicing! Old lady touching her face? No speed, no strength."
"You too, a giant ape isn't a stone; why do you have to carry it when you can dodge? Showing off your masculine spirit?"
"There are no stupid pet beasts, only stupid Beast Masters!"
Ge Bai stood behind Ran Caijiao, listening with great interest.
This martial arts hall master's daughter also served as the daily coach of the martial arts hall.
The two lectured big men didn't dare to make a sound.
Ge Bai walked closer and saw that both of their pet beasts were apes.
One was a Black-haired Iron-armed Vajra, and one was a Ring-fox Long-tailed Ape, both transformed into mini forms half a person high, squatting beside the two men.
The pet beast and the Beast Master had the same movements and expressions.
The long-tailed ape looked livelier, and even with its head down, it couldn't stop its eyeballs from rolling around; seeing Ge Bai come over, it quietly raised its head to look at Ge Bai.
At this time, Ran Caijiao also noticed someone behind her, turned around, saw Ge Bai, and was also stunned.
Ge Bai was almost a head taller than Ran Caijiao; she turned around and looked up at Ge Bai, her voice crisp.
"Are you a new guest at the martial arts hall? Why didn't An Xin bring you to get familiar with the environment?"
"She's a bit busy right now, I'll just look around."
"I seem to find you a bit familiar."
Ran Caijiao looked Ge Bai up and down, saw the Weeping Willow on Ge Bai's shoulder, suddenly reacted, clenched her right fist, and smashed it into her left palm.
"Oh my! You're the heroine of that video!"
"The one on your shoulder is the Weeping Willow that can release Wind Blades, right?"
*What? * Ge Bai was stunned.
Ran Caijiao couldn't care about lecturing the two big men anymore, waved her hand, and let them find a place to spar on their own.
Turning around, she enthusiastically pulled Ge Bai to watch the forum video again; only then did Ge Bai realize that she and Da Liu seemed to have become famous.
She was frowning and thinking about how to deal with it later.
"I've never seen a Spirit Plant Master like you; let's have a pet beast battle!"
The little girl issued an invitation to Ge Bai straightforwardly.
