On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

At the same time.

Nancheng Zoo.

Zhao Lei hung up the phone.

He gave the girl next to him an "OK" sign with a smug look on his face.

"Done!"

"Brother Chuan agreed, see you at the usual place tonight!"

Standing opposite him was Su Ling'er, the new zookeeper who had just joined the company a few days ago.

"Thank you, Brother Lei!"

Su Ling'er smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"I'm just really curious, how come all those monkeys in our park, who usually don't respect anyone, are able to control that guy, Brother Chuan?"

"I also want to learn from his experience."

Zhao Lei waved his hand, giving him an "I understand" look.

"Girl, I understand how you feel."

"Don't even mention it, I want to learn from Brother Chuan too!"

"You have no idea, back then when Brother Chuan stood there, his aura was... wow..."

"It's a pity, I'm not very smart, and I haven't been able to learn it even after studying for several years."

Su Ling'er just smiled and didn't say anything.

In his heart, he thought: Of course, the methods of the Beast Taming lineage require talent and bloodline. How could an ordinary person learn them so easily?

"Okay, Lei, you go ahead and get busy. I'll go get ready, and we'll leave together after get off work tonight."

Su Ling'er smiled and greeted Zhao Lei again before turning and leaving.

As soon as I entered the house.

There's no one here.

The little bird that had been playing dead on my shoulder suddenly came back to life, flapping its wings and chirping incessantly.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

"Master, master, do you really think that Lu Chuan is a disciple of our Beast Taming lineage who has been separated from us?"

Su Ling'er pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and nodded.

"Besides the Beast Taming lineage, I really can't think of anyone else who can make so many uncivilized wild beasts obedient."

"Didn't Zhao Lei say that?"

"The monkeys would line up and salute as soon as that man stood there, without even saying a word."

"This is clearly the awe-inspiring power of a beast, and it's extremely well-executed."

The little bird tilted its head and thought for a moment, seemingly agreeing with its owner's words.

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

"If we can find fellow disciples, we can look out for each other in the southern part of the city."

Then, as if remembering something, Xiaoqing...

"But Master, weren't we planning to go to Liu Fuyao's house tonight to investigate?"

"What if I get drunk with that Lu Chuan?"

"Drinking will lead to trouble!"

"cut!"

Su Ling'er immediately curled her lip in disdain.

"What do you take your master for?"

"Your master is, after all, a dignified four-star martial artist."

"With his physical condition, how could he possibly be drugged by a few ordinary people?"

"What a joke!"

"Tonight's dinner is just a pretext."

"I need to find out about Lu Chuan first. If he really is a fellow disciple, then I'll try to win him over."

"What if he's a scammer..."

"Hmph, I'll make him regret it!"

……

It was evening.

The streets of the southern part of the city were brightly lit and full of the lively atmosphere of everyday life.

Lu Chuan explored the entire southern part of the city that day.

I walked from the east to the west of the city, and then strolled from the south to the north.

They even visited the farmers' market.

The results of it?

There was still no news from that broken system.

This made Lu Chuan seriously suspect that the system might be on vacation.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Just then, Wukong, who was in Lu Chuan's arms, grabbed Lu Chuan's collar and pointed at the food stalls by the roadside.

"dad."

I want to eat something.

"All you ever think about is eating! Are you the reincarnation of Pigsy from Journey to the West?"

Lu Chuan slapped its rear end in an annoyed tone.

"Bear with it, we'll be there soon, then I'll take you out for barbecue."

We arrived at the barbecue restaurant we had agreed upon.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was bustling with noise and smoke—it was incredibly lively.

Lu Chuan spotted Zhao Lei sitting in the corner at a glance.

I don't know what's gotten into this guy today. He's just an ordinary person who's not even a martial artist, yet he's wearing a pretty intimidating-looking alloy longsword on his waist.

The scabbard was made in a very fancy way.

It still has tassels hanging from it; someone who didn't know better might think it was some great swordsman descending from the mountain.

Across from Zhao Lei sat a girl.

Lu Chuan took a closer look and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Is this the new colleague?

That's interesting.

The girl was wearing a loose white T-shirt with a long hem, playing the "no pants" style, and a pair of very short hot pants that revealed her long, white legs.

Those legs were so straight and well-proportioned; they were the epitome of legs that you could admire for years.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which made him look refined and scholarly.

But that figure...

Even a loose T-shirt couldn't hide her stunning curves, which rose and fell slightly with her breath, making one dizzy with the sight.

This kind of innocent and alluring style of dress would definitely make you the center of attention at a barbecue stall.

"Brother Chuan!"

Zhao Lei has a sharp eye.

He spotted Lu Chuan immediately, waved excitedly, and shouted.

"here!"

Lu Chuan walked over with a smile.

He pulled out a chair and sat down, then pointed to the sword at Zhao Lei's waist and asked,

"Hey Lei, what's going on here?"

"We're here to enjoy some barbecue skewers, not to have a martial arts competition."

"You're not even a martial artist, don't you find carrying a sword heavy?"

"Brother Chuan, you don't understand."

"That's called the trend. These days, which young person in the southern part of the city goes out without carrying a sword?"

"This is made of alloy steel; I spent several thousand dollars on it!"

Zhao Lei patted the sword sheath with a smug look on his face.

"Ever since that mysterious old master killed King Wu with a single sword strike, a craze for sword practice has swept through our southern city."

"I've also gone to the desolate mountains near the Twin Saints' Ruins to burn incense and kowtow. I'm considered a disciple of the senior monks. What's wrong with carrying a sword? That's called faith!"

Lu Chuan's lips twitched as he listened.

Good guy.

So this strange trend was started by themselves?

If Zhao Lei knew that the "mysterious old master" he worshipped was sitting across from him, ready to eat skewers, I wonder if he would be so scared that he would kneel down on the spot.

"Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy."

Lu Chuan was too lazy to argue with him, so he pulled out a chair and sat down.

At this moment, the girl sitting opposite Lu Chuan also turned around and looked at him.

Eyes facing each other.

A hint of amazement flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes.

It is indeed beautiful.

This girl wasn't the glamorous type; instead, she had a clever and quick-witted air about her.

Her big eyes are bright and sparkling.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looks refined and gentle, but the wildness hidden in the corners of his eyes and brows cannot be concealed.

Especially her figure.

From behind, I only noticed her long legs, but now that I'm looking at her from the front, even though the T-shirt is loose, when she sits down, the fabric clings to her body, subtly outlining the amazing curves of her chest.

This is still a baby-faced giant...

cough cough.

Lu Chuan quickly looked away.

He cursed himself inwardly for being so spineless, acting like he'd never seen a woman before.

"Brother Chuan, let me introduce you."

Zhao Lei pointed at the girl with a look of pride and delight.

"This is the new colleague I told you about, Su Ling'er."
