My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 19 Fireworks and Tea (Please add to your favorites! Please continue reading!)

Zhou Lu didn't dwell on the issue of "body feeding" for too long.

Because he realized he was being too fixated on the system tasks.

Although taking advantage of the system is a very enjoyable thing, this so-called savior system is actually here to harm you!

Besides, it's not like you can't learn Beastmaster skills.

Isn't your neighbor a knowledgeable fairy? It would be a real waste to leave such a resource unused.

Zhou Lu raised his head and glanced at Xiao Xi's tightly closed door.

The door was tightly closed, and the room was very quiet, without any of the usual music.

I knocked on the door for a while, but Xiaoxi didn't come to open it. It seems she really isn't there.

Fireworks raised its tender buds, and seeing Zhou Lu's somewhat disappointed expression, it scratched its own buds with its leaves, mimicking its owner's thoughtful expression.

Ah! I get it!

Hanabi seemed to understand something.

Just as Zhou Lu was about to turn and leave, a vine stretched out and slipped through the gap under the door into Xiao Xi's room.

"Oh!"

Hearing a noise behind the door, Zhou Lu subconsciously stopped in his tracks, and then heard a loud bang, as if something had hit the door.

Looking down, I saw that the vines of the fireworks were pulling desperately outwards, dragging two legs that were not much thicker than chopsticks.

It seems that because her buttocks were stuck in the door crack, Hanabi was unable to pull Yui, who was hiding behind the door pretending not to be there, out through the crack.

The little grass is just growing brains; it doesn't have that many tricks up its sleeve.

Seeing that they couldn't pull her out immediately, they pulled her out with all their might, causing Xiaoxi to bang against the door repeatedly.

"Ouch! It hurts! Let go! Ah!"

Teacher Xiaoxi's screams echoed in the quiet corridor.

"Waaaaah~! Stop it, it really hurts~"

Zhou Lu watched as system tasks kept popping up, and a large number of low-level growth potions were being rewarded to him by the system like an assembly line.

"Hanabi! Don't be so rude." Zhou Lu, having come to his senses, quickly stopped Hanabi's behavior. If this continued, Teacher Xiaoxi would be stuck in the door crack.

Fireworks looked up, somewhat bewildered, after hearing Zhou Lu's reprimand.

rude...

It seemed to understand something. It stretched out its vines and knocked on the door.

Fireworks is very polite!

It proudly raised its head.

Why do you equate knocking with politeness...?

Sensing Hanabi's emotions, Zhou Lu was slightly speechless.

After much effort, Xiaoxi was finally freed from under the vines of the fireworks.

"What's wrong with your spirit pet..." Xiao Xi rubbed her bottom, then sat directly on Zhou Lu's shoulder, complaining, "This sneak attack and binding technique is pretty impressive."

Impressive, right? He caught a chipmunk.

Now that Hanabi has caught her, Xiaoxi can no longer pretend to be dead.

"22 credits? You went to a D-level secret realm and got 22 credits?" Xiao Xi looked incredulous after hearing Zhou Lu's description.

Zhou Lu nodded, picked up the kettle he had just dropped, and intended to pour Xiao Xi a glass of water.

Fireworks used vines to wrap around the handle of the kettle and patted the leaves, trying to help Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu smiled and let go, allowing Hua Huo to help.

The little grass was very happy to see that its owner trusted it so much, and it was finally able to help its owner!

It wriggled along the stem, crawling around the room, trying to find the cup Zhou Lu had hidden.

"There are a lot, aren't there?" Zhou Lu's words inevitably carried a hint of boasting.

"Of course." Xiao Xi glanced at Zhou Lu and laughed, "But you only got this kind of benefit because you followed that kid from the Li family. Usually, only those beast-taming families or big companies know this kind of inside information. You'll find out when you go to the secret realm yourself. 22 credits is practically a windfall."

"I thought that's how beast tamers made their money."

"It's possible to make money, but not like you're making a fortune." Xiaoxi said with the expression of someone who's been there. "The safe zone is alright, but the pioneering army will capture spirit beasts from time to time to populate the safe zone, so that you students can do tasks and find materials. You'll know once you go to the wild. Spirit beasts aren't distributed that densely, and you also have to compete with breeding bases and professional beast-taming teams from big companies."

"So," Xiao Xi jumped off Zhou Lu's shoulder, standing in mid-air with a lecturing air, "cherish your student days. You're still lucky; those education groups are already urging the higher-ups to reform the education system. Maybe there won't be any Beast Tamer courses before university in the future."

"Huh? Why?"

"Reducing the burden, huh? Well, at least that's how it is in name." Xiaoxi took the water cup from the vines of the fireworks, held the cup by the handle with both hands, and blew on it. "That's how the world is. Ordinary children only need to enjoy carefree happiness, while elite children have endless beast-taming lessons to catch up on every day and have to think about so much more."

"Oh, right, don't throw away your copy of 'Basic Methods of Spirit Beast Training.' The new textbook removed the chapter on beast taming skill training, and the old textbook is going to go up in price." Xiaoxi said, glancing at the water in her glass, puffing out her cheeks, and putting the glass down. "Why is it just plain water? Do you have any tea?"

Hanabi looked up at Xiaoxi with a strange expression, holding up the flowerpot.

Tea? What is tea?

"No," Zhou Lu said calmly.

"Fruit tea is fine, too." Xiao Xi retreated and settled for the next best thing.

Guoguo! The leaves of the firework plant have unfurled.

The vines wrapped around Xiaoxi's waist...

"Hey! Wait! Wait! I asked you to make fruit tea, not to soak me!"

"Yes, yes, I am fruit, but I'm not tea!"

"Let go! Let go now! That's boiling water! Boiling water!"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Help me! Zhou—Lu!"

Suppressing his laughter, Zhou Lu tried his best to persuade Hua Huo to put Xiao Xi down: "Don't be silly, Hua Huo."

Huahuo lifted the flowerpot and gave Xiaoxi a stubborn look: She's the one who wanted fruit tea!

"Alright, alright." Zhou Lu tapped the firework pot. "Go play somewhere else. I have something to say to Teacher Xiaoxi."

"I think you'd better not say anything..." Xiaoxi said weakly, slumped on the table.

When Hanabi heard that the fruit dared to refuse its owner, she stretched out her vines and glanced at her.

Upon seeing the fireworks and vines, Xiaoxi immediately sat up, her face serious, and said, "Speak! Helping students is the duty of a knowledgeable fairy!"

So Zhou Lu asked Xiao Xi about the Beast Tamer skill "Body Feeding".

"【Body Feeding】...I do have a training method here." Xiao Xi looked at Zhou Lu strangely, "How do you know about this skill? Anyone who actively trains this skill is a lunatic."

"madman?"

"A madman who sacrifices himself to support a spirit pet," Xiao Xi said. "Only someone who's not quite mentally sound would willingly train like that. If you want, I can give you two fairy coins."

Upon hearing Xiao Xi's question, Zhou Lu then asked, "Are there any ready-made skill cards for sale?"

Yes, there are.

"Huh? There really is one."

Xiao Xi proudly raised her head: "Don't you even know who I am!"

She paused for a moment, then poured cold water on Zhou Lu's enthusiasm: "However, Beastmaster skill cards are not for sale. They are usually only awarded to you by the official team through me after you make a significant contribution."

"Not for sale..."

"Unlike spirit beast skill cards, which can be mass-produced by training beast tamers, beast tamer skill cards are born from the bond between the beast tamer and their spirit pet. The beast tamer skill cards I have were donated by beast tamers from the pioneering army after their sacrifice. Do you think it's appropriate to make a deal with this?"

Xiao Xi's words completely eliminated the possibility of Zhou Lu directly buying [Body Feed].

"Then let's buy the training program," Zhou Lu said through gritted teeth.

"Are you sure?" Xiaoxi asked, somewhat surprised. "That's two fairy coins, enough to buy two universal skills."

Actually, I don't lack beast taming skills... Zhou Lu glanced at the system.

"[Body Taming] isn't that easy to train." After Zhou Lu resolutely paid with Fairy Coins, Xiao Xi raised her hand to pass on the relevant information about [Body Taming] to Zhou Lu, and at the same time, she didn't forget to tell Zhou Lu some experience, "You'd better find a Beast Tamer who knows this skill to guide you."
