Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 248 Being too kind is also a mistake!

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai pointed to his own nose with his other finger.

"You mean, they're after me?" Qiao Bai's tone carried a hint of surprise.

Li Xiaoyao nodded.

That's the impression they give me.

At this point, Li Xiaoyao looked a little nervous.

"I know this sounds a bit outrageous, but..."

Li Xiaoyao lowered her head.

As an orphan, Li Xiaoyao considers herself very lucky.

Although she didn't receive special care while in the orphanage as a child, she didn't suffer much hardship either.

The headmaster cared for all the children equally.

When she reaches that age.

After awakening his beast tamer aptitude, he received subsidies and support from various sectors of the country.

At the most crucial moment, when choosing your initial pet.

Because of Qiao Bai's discovery.

Then the honeyworm appeared, which was the best option for her.

Li Xiaoyao has felt incredibly lucky more than once.

I got into a good university.

With her identity as a beast tamer, even though Li Xiaoyao was still very inexperienced, she still managed to find a decent part-time job.

There's more good news: her honeybug successfully evolved into a fairy butterfly three months ago.

The future looks increasingly brighter.

at this time.

Li Xiaoyao received a message from Donghua Group offering to sponsor her.

The terms offered by the other party were extremely generous.

tuition fee.

living expenses.

Resources needed to raise pet animals.

It can even help her contract with pets that have better aptitude.

Li Xiaoyao didn't know what the other recipients of her aid, who had similar backgrounds, thought.

Faced with the olive branch extended by Donghua.

Her first thought was—there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The financial aid provided by Donghua University far exceeded the normal range.

If she herself is a genius.

Or perhaps...

Li Xiaoyao may not have thought that much about her unique talent in beast taming.

But she really was just an ordinary girl.

At most, the talent skill [Mental Soothing] is a little bit special.

This also helped Li Xiaoyao define her future goals.

Join the pet service center and become an excellent veterinarian.

That's it.

However, in the eyes of Donghua Group, these are probably not considered any highlights at all.

After some thought.

Li Xiaoyao did not immediately agree to the funding from Donghua Group.

The staff member from Donghua Group who was in charge of communicating with Li Xiaoyao was also quite surprised by her decision.

"Logically speaking, if I hesitated and refused, Donghua Group, such a large conglomerate, wouldn't keep bothering me."

Li Xiaoyao held the cup in both hands, her expression showing helplessness and annoyance.

"They're still bothering you?" Qiao Bai frowned, his expression somewhat serious.

Seeing Qiao Bai's worried expression, Li Xiaoyao smiled from the bottom of her heart once again.

"Um,"

He nodded slightly.

"At first, I just hesitated and said I needed to think about it some more."

"But after I hesitated twice and then decisively refused, they sent another staff member to work with me."

Unlike the staff member who was just a worker from the beginning.

The next person to arrive was very professional.

This expertise further convinced Li Xiaoyao that the other party's target was definitely not her.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoyao looked up at Qiao Bai: "You know how simple my interpersonal relationships are."

"If I had to say what's special about me, it would be that I know you."

Qiao Bai.

Professor Qiao Bai.

Almost everyone in the country knows him; he is the youngest professor researching the evolution of pet animals.

Qiao Bai touched his chin: "Hmm..."

"I didn't lie..." Li Xiaoyao saw that Qiao Bai seemed a little unconvinced, and quickly tried to continue explaining.

Qiao Bai waved his hand.

"I believe you."

Li Xiaoyao paused.

"And no matter what, I'm glad you reminded me," Qiao Bai continued.

Li Xiaoyao said embarrassedly, "No, no, no, what I said... has no actual evidence."

"I just don't want you, Qiao Bai, to be deceived," Li Xiaoyao said sincerely.

"And also..."

Li Xiaoyao looked somewhat embarrassed, but she continued speaking anyway.

The sound was soft.

"If they contacted not only me, but also other people..."

Qiao Bai instantly understood what Li Xiaoyao meant.

indeed.

These people thought of starting with Li Xiaoyao, whether they wanted to appeal to Qiao Bai's emotions or something else.

Then it's impossible not to start with other people.

Although back then in the class...

Students with tragic backgrounds like Qiao Bai and Li Xiaoyao are few, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Or they might come from a slightly less privileged background and be a little more ambitious.

In the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it is also very easy to be targeted and used as a starting point.

"Alright, I'm relieved now that you've reminded me." Li Xiaoyao, who had been wanting to find Qiao Bai, finally had the chance during this holiday.

After she finished speaking, she smiled sweetly.

Li Xiaoyao stood up, looked at Qiao Bai and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, Qiao Bai, see you next time."

Qiao Bai did not keep Li Xiaoyao.

He knew it would make the young girl uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll see you off." Qiao Bai also stood up and escorted Li Xiaoyao to the outside of the research institute.

He personally saw Li Xiaoyao off as she got into the car.

Then he turned around and went back to the research institute.

Upon entering.

He then met several pairs of curious, gossipy eyes.

Qiao Bai: "..."

An ominous premonition filled his heart.

"Professor Qiao Bai, what's your relationship with that girl from earlier?"

"Exactly! It seems like Professor Qiao Bai is surrounded by beautiful women of all ages!"

"Before you arrived, two young women around Professor Qiao Bai's age came to the research institute, and they were both incredibly beautiful!"

Cheng Liang, Peng You, Lu Yongjin, and a group of others got together and started gossiping.

You say one thing, I say another.

Judging from their expressions, Qiao Bai was practically dating a whole platoon of girlfriends.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

Qiao Bai broke his silence.

If they remain silent any longer, these people will start to fabricate a complete and complicated romantic history for themselves.

Qiao Bai: No need!

"I was originally planning to give you guys a holiday for Double Celebration, but now it seems..."

Qiao Bai remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Sui Yu was the first to raise her hand: "Professor Qiao Bai, I didn't say anything."

"You can leave Lao Lu here, but give me a break!"

Lu Yongjin: "!"

Lu Yongjin looked at Sui Yu with an incredulous expression.

This is his wife!

My dear wife!

"Wife, you've changed!"

"Yes, I've changed. I want a vacation." Sui Yu nodded calmly, then linked arms with An Qing next to her.

"Xiao An and I made a promise to go to the water park together next time we have a holiday."

Under Lu Yongjin's increasingly shocked gaze, Sui Yu continued, "The kind that doesn't include you."

Visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yongjin's backdrop was transformed into lightning and thunder.

My mood is dark.

He was practically kneeling on the ground, shouting that he didn't believe it.

Qiao Bai smiled.

Is this what they mean by the most painful blow always coming from the person closest to you?

"I...I...I was wrong!" Seeing this, Cheng Liang quickly raised his hands as well.

Peng You nodded frantically.

Lu Yongjin: "?"

Lu Yongjin continued to look at his friends with disbelief.

No?

So this is a betrayal?

ha?

"Hehe." Peng You turned to Lu Yongjin and smiled sheepishly, "Brother Lu, Liang and I made plans to climb out together..."

Lu Yongjin: "..."

So I'm the only outsider here?

Qiao Bai watched from the side, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to put on an act for me anymore."

"Remind me on the next day when I'm supposed to have a holiday."

"Sometimes I have too many things to do, and I forget them without even realizing it."

Qiao Bai made it clear once again.

He's not some heartless boss; he doesn't even give his employees the statutory holidays they're entitled to.

He really isn't.

At this moment, Lu Yongjin suppressed his exaggerated expression and waved to Qiao Bai.

"Don't even mention Professor Qiao Bai, sometimes we ourselves can't remember."

"Back when I was working in the lab, there weren't any public holidays!"

Five days on, two days off?

Six days on, one day off?

does not exist.

None of them exist!

If the research progresses smoothly, the professor in charge of the institute will remember to give them a vacation on time.

The research is not going well...

Ha ha.

Let's work overtime.

From daytime to nighttime.

rest?

Have a holiday?

It no longer exists.

They all no longer exist.

Qiao Bai: "..."

well.

He suddenly became a conscientious boss again.

"No need to praise me. Everyone, just tidy up the equipment in the research institute, and then we can get ready to go home and have a holiday."

See you in five days.

Whether it's out of genuine feeling or feigned sincerity.

Everyone's face lit up with joy.

Five-day holiday.

This is quite difficult for these researchers as well.

Let's make an appointment.

Required.

Going out for a walk can improve your mood.

"Professor Qiao Bai, would you like to come with us?"

Peng You peeked at Qiao Bai.

She looked at Qiao Bai with anticipation.

Sui Yu smiled and said to Qiao Bai, "Professor Qiao Bai, why don't you come with me and Xiao An?"

"Going hiking in the sweltering heat is so uncomfortable!"

"If you ask me, the water park is more comfortable."

"No dragging each other down!" Upon hearing this, Peng You quickly crossed his arms and made a big X.

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "You guys have fun. It's no fun having me, the boss, along."

Qiao Bai rejected both sides' attempts to pull him away with a single sentence.

Seeing this, they didn't say anything more.

After organizing the equipment and materials in the research institute, as well as their documents.

Everyone left quickly.

Qiao Bai was the only one left in the research institute.

"Hmm..." After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai released his pet beast.

The little bird flapped its wings and flew towards Qiao Bai's face.

The little jellyfish landed slowly yet with lightning speed on Qiao Bai's head.

The cat-like insect and the little white snake circled around Qiao Bai.

He acted like he wasn't clingy at all.

Qiao Bai, who hadn't been pampered by his pet for a while, silently typed out a question mark.

"What's wrong with everyone?"

"Something seems off about today."

Is it still because of his sudden disappearance last time?

Qiao Bai shook his head decisively.

No, no.

They stayed in bed all night last night.

He stayed in his spiritual sea beast-taming space today, refusing to come out.

Qiao Bai looked at the calmest person on the side, the only one who didn't rush over.

He hoped that an "angel" could save him.

Faced with Qiao Bai's pleading gaze.

The "angel" blinked its big, bright eyes, as if it hadn't received the correct signal from Qiao Bai.

"Everyone is comforting their master."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Let's put aside the title "angel".

Again.

I'm used to calling him whatever is strange.

As long as "Angel" doesn't suddenly throw out a dog-showing "Golden Sama," Qiao Bai feels he can handle it!

but……

"Comfort?" Qiao Bai repeated the word, unable to understand.

Why should I comfort him?

Does he look like he's suffered a blow somewhere?

The "angel" continued to watch Qiao Bai quietly, then blinked.

"Does your phone need the comfort of an angel?"

Signal reception error.

Before Qiao Bai could refuse.

The "angel" is faster.

Even though the wings were completely useless, the "angel" still appeared in front of Qiao Bai in a flash.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai was carefree.

And because they were already mentally prepared for the "angel's" abilities, they weren't startled.

An "angel" came to Qiao Bai's side.

It was as if it was deliberately rubbing against Qiao Bai's hand; there was no emotion in it, just a few skillful rubs.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Fine.

What else can we do?

He has known "Angel" for so long that he knows "Angel" to some extent.

It's perfectly normal to be a little tolerant.

Qiao Bai sighed.

Qiao Bai poured himself a glass of special juice, and with a bunch of pets on his head, sat down in front of the soft sofa.

An "angel" followed them all the way.

Looking at Qiao Bai's slumped, decadent posture.

The "angel's" eyes blinked rapidly a few more times.

"Was Master upset?"

Qiao Bai bent down and picked up the cat-like insect that was lying heavily on his shoe.

Feel the delicate texture of the scales under your hand.

"A strike?"

"Who can give me a blow?"

The "angel" responded in a measured and methodical manner.

"Human malice."

Qiao Bai paused for a moment.

He suddenly understood what was going on with the pets in his house.

"So you're worried about what Li Xiaoyao told me?" Qiao Bai looked at the pets in the house with a mixture of amusement and helplessness.

Little Wu tilted its head.

The cat-like insect also raised its head and nudged Qiao Bai twice with its horns.

The little jellyfish landed on Qiao Bai's head, and upon closer inspection, it looked like a soul extractor.

The little white snake coiled around Qiao Bai's calf.

They were all comforting Qiao Bai in their own ways.

"It's not that bad, it really isn't."

hit?

That is impossible.

Qiao Bai was at most a little confused.

Where does this Donghua Group get the confidence that they can deal with him?
