Chapter 186 The Family of Three Left Just Like That
Mo City did not have a train or car that went straight to the academy. Sheng Xiao wanted to rent an off-road vehicle but Yu Huang said, “Let’s buy an off-road vehicle.”
Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, “Are you driving?” “Yeah.”
“You know how to drive?”
Yu Huang looked at Sheng Xiao in disbelief. “I can drive anything except the yellow car.”
At first, Sheng Xiao did not understand what she was talking about. He thought that it was the yellow cabs from old movies. It was not until he saw Yu Huang’s mocking smile that he finally understood.
He looked at Yu Huang with a playful expression. This little girl was young, but she knew quite a lot.
Yu Huang blinked at Sheng Xiao on purpose while hinting at him. “Can you teach me more when you’re free?”
Sheng Xiao glanced at Anna Tao. She looked like a little dummy and did not understand what they were talking about. Then, he nodded seriously and said, “Let’s teach each other.”
“Yeah.”
There were two cars in Mo City. They went to the one closest to the bus stop.
Yu Huang had lived through the end of the world 200 years ago, so she was naturally very familiar with the structure and principles of cars.
After entering the car park, Yu Huang did not need any introduction from the staff. She went straight to the off-road vehicle area and quickly picked a two-meter tall off-road vehicle.
The SUV’s reputation and performance were average. Sheng Xiao did not understand why Yu Huang chose it. Yu Huang’s answer was, “The body of the car is sturdy and durable. There is enough space in the car. It is easy to modify.”
Vully.
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows. “You know about cars?”
“I know everything.” She knew how to pamper children best.
Sheng Xiao looked at her strangely. She was only 19 years old. How did she know about this? Didn’t she used to film?
Did actors nowadays know so much?
The final price of the SUV was 600,000 yuan. Sheng Xiao wanted to buy the car and give it to Yu Huang, but she said, “No, of course I have to pay for my own car.” Sheng Xiao felt helpless.
He felt that he was really useless as a boyfriend. Yu Huang knew how to fight and earn money. He didn’t even have the chance to pay for things.
Yu Huang could tell what Sheng Xiao was thinking when she saw how unhappy he was. She thought for a while and said, “Why don’t you pay 120 thousand yuan for the passenger seat?”
Sheng Xiao asked subconsciously, “Why 120 thousand?”
“There are five seats in a car. If you buy the passenger seat, it will be $120,000.” Yu Huang patted Sheng Xiao’s chest and said, “If you buy it, it will be your exclusive seat. No one can sit in it.”
Sheng Xiao took out the money willingly. He felt that the car was his and Yu Huang’s child. After buying the car, the three of them went to the car dealership to register. Because Yu Huang was a Beast Tamer, she didn’t need to queue to directly register at the VIP registration counter.
After they settled everything, the sky still wasn’t dark. “Go home before it gets dark.”
“Okay.”
The car belonged to Yu Huang. Naturally, she sat in the driver’s seat. Sheng Xiao sat in the front passenger seat while Anna Tao obediently sat in the middle of the backseat.
Yu Huang turned around to look at Anna Tao and suddenly said, “Why do I feel like we’re taking care of a child?”
Sheng Xiao turned to look at Anna Tao.
Anna Tao was very petite. She was not even 1.6 meters tall. Yu Huang was slightly over 1.7 meters tall. Her clothes made Anna Tao look even smaller.
Anna Tao sat in the back row. Her face was round and fair. She really looked like a doll.
Anna Tao felt uneasy when Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were staring at her. She intertwined her fingers and rolled her eyes. Then, she asked tentatively, “Then… Dad, Mom?”
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were speechless.
The two of them had goosebumps all over their bodies. They quickly turned around, started the car, and left.
Anna Tao could not hold it in anymore. She burst out laughing. Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang found it funny too.
Yu Huang bumped Sheng Xiao. “Are the three of us crazy?”
Sheng Xiao smiled even wider.
This was the first time Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao laughing so heartily ever since they met. She could not help but take a few more glances at him.
Sheng Xiao noticed Yu Huang’s peeping gaze and realized that he wasn’t acting very mature. So, he stopped smiling and put on a mature look.
Yu Huang said, “Smile more in the future. You look handsome when you smile.”
Sheng Xiao did not seem to hear her.
The car drove out of the city and followed the cement road for more than two hours before entering the vast desert. When they arrived at Skysplit Tower, it was already dark.
“Looks like we can only return to school tomorrow morning when the tower door opens.”
Anna Tao knew nothing about the rules of the Divine Realm Academy. After getting out of the car, she looked up at the towering, ancient building in front of her and was a little dazed.
“Yu Huang, where is the Divine Realm Academy?”
She didn’t even see the school gate, let alone the school.
Yu Huang pointed towards the Skysplit Tower and said, “It’s below this.”
Anna Tao looked even more confused.
Sheng Xiao explained when he saw Anna Tao’s confused expression. “The Divine Realm Academy is in an independent space. The Skysplit Tower is the only way to the Divine Realm Academy.”
Anna Tao suddenly felt like a country bumpkin entering a city and knew nothing about the Divine Realm Academy.
Yu Huang was about to rest in the car when Sheng Xiao said, “Don’t wait for tomorrow morning. I’m on good terms with the guide. I’ll ask him to open the door for us.”
“Really?”
Seeing that Yu Huang did not believe him, Sheng Xiao felt embarrassed. He took a step forward, raised his head and shouted, “Uncle Ji, please open the door!”
No one responded to Sheng Xiao.
Yu Huang was about to mock Sheng Xiao when the door of the Skysplit Tower opened slowly. The guide in the Divine Realm Academy’s uniform was standing behind the door while holding a glowing lamp.
Sheng Xiao bowed to the guide. “Uncle Ji, sorry to disturb you.” Yu Huang bowed to the guide too. Anna Tao followed suit.
Uncle Ji nodded and took a step back. “Come in.”
Sheng Xiao walked at the front. Yu Huang put the off-road vehicle into the bracelet space storage. Then, she held Anna Tao’s arm and walked toward the Skysplit Tower.
The guide stared at Anna Tao for a moment, then said abruptly, “This child is not our student.”
Anna Tao anxiously stopped in her tracks.
Sheng Xiao came to Yu Huang’s side and explained to the guide, “The school’s breeder department is recruiting a breeder recently. My friend wants to give it a try.”
Hearing that, the guide gave Anna Tao a deep look and evaluated, “This child’s heart is unfair, impure, and too vicious. Such a person will not obtain the approval of the demon beasts. She is not suitable.”
couldn’t help but bite her lip. Her face paled.
“We will know after the interview whether she is suitable or not.” Sheng Xiao said to Yu Huang, “Bring her in.”
Seeing that Uncle Ji didn’t try to stop her, Yu Huang pulled Anna Tao into Skysplit Tower.
The guide opened the door for them and went back to rest. Yu Huang took out the Night-Luminescent Pearl and lit the lamp. The three of them walked down the stairs. Yu Huang said, “What should we do if Anna can’t be recognized by the demon beasts?”
Sheng Xiao glanced at Anna Tao. She was eavesdropping on their conversation. He said expressionlessly, “We’ve given her a chance. It’s up to her whether she can get it.”
ce.
Sheng Xiao glanced at Anna Tao. She was eavesdropping on their conversation. He said expressionlessly, “I’ve given her a chance. It’s up to her whether she can get it.”
After walking a distance, they finally arrived at the small square.
There were thick stone pillars around the square. There was a bronze bell hanging on them. Sheng Xiao walked to one of the pillars and pulled the string.
The copper bell rang while echoing through the underground plaza.
Soon, a roller coaster drove out of the abyss and stopped in front of them.
It was still Uncle Zhang who was driving. He was in a hurry to get off work, so he shouted at them with a dark expression, “Get in the car and I’ll send you guys to the station. I need to rest too!”
“Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Zhang.”
As soon as the three of them were seated, the roller coaster sped away.
“Ah!”
Anna Tao’s screams echoed through the underground world, shaking Yu Huang’s ears until they felt numb. After getting off the roller coaster, Anna Tao was already half dead and could barely walk.
After Anna Tao returned to her senses, the three of them boarded the flying bird and returned to the Divine Realm Academy.
At nine o’clock in the night, the students had just finished their classes and were returning to their dorms in groups of three or three. Anna Tao stood on the field and looked at the geniuses wearing the uniform of the Divine Realm Academy. She felt inferior, but also yearned for it.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that a trashy Beast Tamer like her would actually have the qualifications to enter the Divine Realm Academy.
Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “I’ve told Professor Mu about Anna. Let’s bring her to see her now.”
“Okay.”
Professor Mu knew that they would be back tonight, so she waited for them in the office.
When Professor Mu saw Anna Tao, she stared at her with her sharp eyes for a moment. Then, she said to Sheng Xiao, “This child has too much hatred in her heart. She is too vengeful. I’m afraid she will not be able to take on the role of the breeder.”
Yu Huang frowned when she heard that. She stood beside Sheng Xiao and said to Professor Mu, “Professor Mu, give her ten days. Ask her to go to the Breeding Department for an internship. If the demon beasts refuse to get close to her, Anna will leave voluntarily.”
Anna Tao also knelt down in front of Professor Mu. “Professor Mu, please give me a chance!” Professor Mu looked at Anna Tao, then at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao. In the end, she said, “Since Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang have pleaded for you, I am willing to give you this chance. I will give you ten days. If you can gain the approval of the demon beasts, I will let you work in the breeding department.” “Thank you, Professor Mu!”
Professor Mu nodded and said to Sheng Xiao, “She’s not a student of our school. According to the rules, she can’t stay in the student dormitory. Take her to the Breeding Department. There’s a staff dormitory there.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Xiao left with Anna Tao while Yu Huang was left behind by Professor Mu.
After Sheng Xiao left, Professor Mu said to Yu Huang, “Yu Huang, how did Anna survive after falling into the Broken Cliff?”
Yu Huang understood that Professor Mu was suspecting Anna Tao.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huang told Professor Mu about Anna Tao’s biggest secret. “Professor Mu, Anna’s beast form is not a useless ant, but a Mutated Devouring Beast.”
