Chapter 1045: Duel Deal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The spacious test room was rather quiet.

Su Ping had never been through anything like that. He didn’t know whether or not he had expressed himself clearly, but he thought it was better to make himself clear.

“You…

Before Su Ping continued, Loulan Lin suddenly raised her head with an easy smile. “What are you talking about? I’ve also heard of our arranged marriage. That is my family’s intention; I’m here exactly to vet you.”

Su Ping was stunned, not expecting her to be as honest.

“Haha!”

Loulan Lin leaned forward, with hands behind her back. Her head only reached Su Ping’s chin, so she had to crane her neck to look at him. She was currently flashing her shell-like teeth as she said with a smile, “The vetting is almost over now. It seems that our plans are the same; I don’t want to be held back by anyone else just yet, either.”

Su Ping was happy to hear that. “Good.”

She looked at him for a moment after noticing his obvious relief, but then she wore a relieved smile a moment later. “I don’t want to be distracted until I reach the Ascendant State. What about you?”

“Me neither.” Su Ping nodded; he was planning on reaching the Ascendant State with seven worlds. It was a challenging path; he wouldn’t have the time to do anything else.

Loulan Lin gave a slight nod, and then punched Su Ping in the chest. “Then let’s meet again when we become Ascendants and see which of us is stronger! I’ll try my best to surpass you!”

“That is very unlikely to happen.” Su Ping shook his head.

Speechless again, seeing how serious Su Ping was, she suddenly burst into a fit of rage and put on an angry yet adorable expression. “Don’t feel too good about yourself. Arrogance is always the cause of failure! I might surpass you and then marry you whether you want it or not!”

Her declaration was rather intimidating; it seemed to be half a joke and half real.

Thinking that she was kidding, Su Ping shrugged and said, “You don’t stand a chance.”

“Let’s find out!”

“All right!” Su Ping wasn’t the least bit afraid.

“It’s a deal then!” Loulan Lin gritted her teeth, with light flashing in her eyes.

Su Ping shook his head and smiled, seeing how competitive she was, but he still didn’t think much of it.

She was indeed a beloved genius of the Loulan family, but he had the system’s help and a Celestial State expert as his master; he had much more training resources than she did. It was hopeless for her to think she could surpass him.

“Okay!”

Loulan Lin stared at him, puffed cheeks gone once she saw that Su Ping had accepted the deal really quickly. He snorted and then said, “Is there anything else you want to say? If that’s all, I’m leaving. My reputation might suffer a blow if we stay in the same room!”

“Well, that’s all.”

Su Ping scratched his head, thinking that the mission was easier than he thought. She was quite reasonable, perhaps because she wasn’t interested in him to begin with. He might have thought too highly of himself.

With back against Su Ping, Loulan Lin tried to open the door and leave, but she was unable to do so. Su Ping then extended his hand while standing behind her to help her open the door.

“Humph!”

Loulan Lin snorted with her head lowered. Then, she stormed out.

Su Ping followed her out. They saw Tang Ruyan and Joanna standing right outside the test room. Su Ping asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”

Joanna glanced at Su Ping indifferently and then left.

Tang Ruyan raised her head and looked at the dome. She said, “A pet just ran this way. Weird. Where is it now?” She then left, as if searching for it.

Su Ping was lost for words. Seeing that Loulan Lin was about to leave the store, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to go back? Why don’t you wait until the Ascendants of your family arrive?”

“I’ve already informed them,” said Loulan Lin with a snort, not looking back.

Su Ping found it inappropriate to say anything else. After all, she was from the main branch of the Loulan family; countless people were watching her. It would be bad for her reputation if he asked her to stay.

He summoned Tang Ruyan and asked her to see Loulan Lin off.

He had quietly made note of her favor, remembering she had accompanied him all the way to his store, and then got involved in the assassination attempt against him.

Tang Ruyan was shocked after hearing she had been asked to see Loulan Lin off. Her eyes widened, and she pointed at herself, as if unable to believe her eyes. Once she saw that Su Ping wouldn’t change his decision, she stomped and snorted in fury. “Fine! You’re the boss here!”

After that, he glanced at Loulan Lin and said, “Let’s go.”

The store’s door was opened and sunlight came in, extending Loulan Lin’s shadow.

The shadow stretched forward, but finally stopped when it was about to reach Su Ping’s feet.

“I will surpass you!” Loulan Lin turned around and looked back. Her eyes seemed to be crammed with feelings. He then wore a solemn expression.

Su Ping was dazed.

Loulan Lin laughed and then waved her hand after seeing Su Ping’s frozen gesture. She flew away against the sunlight and disappeared from Su Ping’s eyesight.

Nobody saw how quickly her smile dimmed when she turned around.

…

Since she had heard what Loulan Lin had said earlier, Tang Ruyan asked in surprise, “Did she make you commit to a battle deal?”

A battle deal?

After remembering what Loulan Lin had said, Su Ping mumbled, “Is it a battle deal? Maybe.”

However, he felt it was more like a marriage deal.

Su Ping quickly shook his head; he was apparently becoming more narcissistic. It was clear that she was kidding.

He shook his head and stopped considering the matter, leaving all irrelevant stuff behind. He then asked Joanna and Tang Ruyan to prepare and open the store.

The daily business began.

It had been a long time since Su Ping received customers with Joanna and Tang Ruyan to examine their pets. Some of the pets were wounded when they were brought over, and some had hidden injuries resulting from years of fighting.

Joanna and Green Lady healed them on the spot.

That way of working had improved the store’s reputation even more. Seeing their behavior, Su Ping quietly gave them a higher rating as employees.

“You, stop running about and causing trouble.”

Inside the store—the recently transformed Chaos Beast like a little king. He ran around joyfully with Greeny and the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon.

The Dark Dragon Hound, on the other hand, combed his hair in front of the customers. It was more like him showing off than actually combing. He became increasingly confident as the customers looked at him.

As for the Little Skeleton and the Purple Python, both preferred resting over moving. They were probably lying somewhere inside the store, and they never moved easily once they lay down. Even turning their bodies aside was an intense sport for them.

The Chaos Beast had transformed into a three-year-old kid with cute big eyes. He seemed to be innocent and harmless, but even Greeny and the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon were hardly able to beat it when it got angry.

However, the Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound—who had been with Su Ping for a long time—didn’t consider this a big deal at all.

Su Ping saw the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon, then remembered his promise and made a decision.

Very soon, the half-day of business was over; the store was closed in the afternoon.

All the people outside the store were already accustomed to it. No one complained.

“Little White..”

That was Su Ping’s nickname for the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon, who had transformed into a white-haired boy. His hair made him look somewhat weak and sickly.

Little White approached him once he heard Su Ping’s call. He seemed young, but he had determined eyes; he had always fought with a cold and relentless attitude.

However, he put on a clean and curious smile when he was in front of Su Ping.

Su Ping petted him and said softly, “As I said before, I’ll send you to see your parents when you’re capable of protecting yourself. You’re already strong enough to meet them right now.”

Little White was dazed for a moment, and gradually his smile fell. A moment passed, then he nodded and said in an innocent voice, “Thank you!”

“No need to thank me,” said Su Ping with a smile, “After you meet your parents, I’ll free you if you wish to stay there.”

Little White was stunned. His eyes glittered for a moment, but he remained silent.

“Go now. You know the way. Do you want me to go there with you?” Su Ping patted his shoulder.

Little White shook his head. He was already invincible on that planet; Su Ping’s help was unnecessary. That was his own business and he wanted to do it on his own.

Su Ping didn’t say anything else; he simply allowed the pet to leave.

All the others heard what Su Ping had said. The Dark Dragon Hound moved closer and nudged Su Ping’s arm to ask curiously, “Boss, are you really going to free Little White? If he doesn’t return, then…”

“As long as he’s happy,” said Su Ping with a smile.

The door was closed.

Su Ping went to different cultivation sites to complete the professional training orders.

On the other side of Rhea—a boy with white hair was flying in the sky. He soon reached the primitive and desolate continent.

That was the place where the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons lived.

The Ryan family had set barriers around the continent to prevent the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons from escaping.

Planes and airships took interstellar hunters to the continent.

There were many men on the transit island.

The white-haired boy flew by and watched the scene in silence. No one knew what was on his mind.

He gazed at the continent from a place high in the sky when he reached the continent, his eyes lingering for a moment. He then swooped and quietly passed through the barriers, while shrouded in strange laws. He then landed on the continent.

In front of him was a tall and majestic mountain.

At the foot of the mountain was a vast forest that covered thousands of square kilometers.

It could be seen that some human beings were hunting beasts in a place far from the mountain.

He flew above the forest and remembered things that happened in the past. It was in that forest where he met Su Ping and was rescued.

He remembered how his mother escaped with him from that magnificent mountain and then hid in that forest.

The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons didn’t investigate them at first, and life was peaceful.. That was the happiest part of his childhood; he would wait for his father to return from that mountain every day.
