My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 170 - 169: Bald Qiang’s Spring (Late Night for Votes)

Chapter 170 -169: Bald Qiang’s Spring (Late Night for Votes)

“Explosion!! Three mysterious students drop into Yundu City, who will claim the title of the most handsome student?”

“Scandal!!! Why were these three omitted from the most handsome student selection?”

“awsl! The god-like brother’s looks are critically striking…”

On November 22nd, the regional qualification competition’s online discussion forum went wild due to these three individuals.

Dozens of posts were uploaded almost simultaneously, questioning the selection committee’s hidden agenda, seeking information about the three students, as well as various other meaningless posts, quickly flooded the forum and dominated the entire discussion page.

After all, only a few went to the station to support them, and those who didn’t began to question the motives behind these posts, suspecting that they were paid cyber troops hired to create momentum for certain contestants; the discussion board was ablaze with conflict, and many users were up in arms defending their favored contestants.

It wasn’t until a user with the handle “Sweet Cat Soft Sister” posted a complete video taken at the scene.

In just over ten minutes, the video gathered an astonishing thousand plus comments and was quickly pinned to the top of the board.

In the time that followed, countless posts seeking information about the three individuals sprouted up like bamboo following rain, but without exception, they were all suppressed by newer posts.

More people started accusing the organizers of foul play, eventually forcing the administrators to clarify that the regional competition’s website did not have their information because they had not verified their contestant details.

In Su City, because of Su City University’s indifferent attitude, the students from this institution were not particularly interested in this year’s regional competition, which resulted in the information about these three remaining a mystery even hours later.

This situation persisted until noon when a massive wave of users from the Su City Region suddenly swarmed the regional competition’s website. They used a uniform avatar, chanting the same slogan and rapidly taking over the first page, except for the pinned posts.

Clicking on any thread revealed an image, a pair of abstract, burning wings on a black background.

…

At Su City High School, Li Yiren watched the video on the regional competition’s website with a faint smile on her face. When Shao Zifeng stepped off the bus, she pressed the pause button and stared intently at his figure.

The person in the video merged seamlessly with her memories and sketches, making Li Yiren’s mood even more joyful.

She hummed a tune, closed the competition’s webpage, and then opened the Burning Wings support group website.

Due to Qiuqiu’s fleeting appearance, this support group had slowly lost its popularity, and many who came because of the rumors decided to leave. In recent months, only a few loyal members were still active, with many usernames displaying in monochrome.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Among them were those truly obsessed with dragon-type mutant creatures, as well as those who had revived their hope after seeing the dawn of dragon wings amidst despair. They didn’t leave but chose to wait in silence.

Li Yiren pondered for a moment before her fair fingers rapidly typed on the phone screen.

[Burning Wings][Vice Leader] Autumn Water Yiren: Dragon-type Combat Training Master has arrived in Yundu City, ready to battle in the regional qualifications.

Not long after the post was made, countless avatars lit up, and comments flowed in. Of course, most were questioning the truth of the news.

Night Z Ranger: Is the news confirmed?

Dusk Under Willow Watching Afterglow: Could the vice leader be deceiving us? No way, right?

Lu: Aba Aba Aba [drooling.jpg]

[Leader] Mature Sister Qiqi Loves Cats: Yiren’s news is true. Now the hottest video on the regional competition site includes our very own dragon-type Combat Training Master from Su City.

Once Leader Qiqi confirmed the news, the questions within the support group ceased and it quickly became lively.

Eventually, it was unanimously decided that they would adopt a unified avatar, chanting the slogan “Dragon baby fly confidently, forever accompanied by mom,” and they marched triumphantly into the regional competition website.

In no time, the online world of the five cities in the Yundu Region was abuzz.

After it was confirmed that the three came from Su City University, the hottest topic on the discussion board was not the questioning of Su University’s capabilities, but rather who among the three was the legendary dragon trainer.

…

At this moment, the Su City University trio… well, quartet, were grimacing at the ramshackle little motel in front of them.

The small motel was located in a cramped and damp alleyway, with the faded characters for “Lovers’ Motel” hand-painted on the door. There were two overflowing trash bins by the entrance, surrounded by all kinds of rubbish. Even in winter, a waft of foul odor could be detected.

Shao Zifeng, who was accustomed to living in upscale villas, took a deep breath and asked the bald man, “Is this it?”

“Ahem.” The bald man scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed: “Budget’s tight, we can’t afford anything upscale, and the mid-range places are all booked by people coming from other cities for the competition. We’re left only with these types of places. Anyway, we’re not staying long, so let’s just put up with it.”

The group felt somewhat resistant but knew that the bald man was telling the truth. The little funding approved by the school, minus the cost of chartering the bus and security deposits, also had to cover food, accommodation, and transportation during the competition, and some money needed to be set aside for emergencies.

They pushed open the glass door and followed the bald man into the decrepit motel, where a sweet and pungent scent of talcum powder assaulted their senses. The downstairs of the motel was simply furnished, with only an old counter.

Behind the counter was a plump middle-aged woman in a cheongsam, applying lipstick in a mirror without glancing up at the sound of the door: “How many? Double rooms are 80, half-day rent is 40, hourly rooms are 25, and we have full utilities.”

“Five of us, we need two double rooms and one large bed room, planning to stay about half a month.” The bald man leaned on the counter, eyeing the price list on the wall.

Hearing about a significant order, the madam quickly set her mirror down on the table behind the counter, her face lighting up with a broad smile, “Oh~ Come with me upstairs to have a look…”

As her gaze swept over the bald man and the three handsome young men behind him, her speech halted abruptly. Her eyes moved from one to the other, finally resting on the well-built bald man, and she swallowed secretly.

Fresh meat is nice to look at, but not durable.

It’s just a pity this hunk only has one arm and can’t perform certain functions well.

“Come with me to see the rooms,” she said.

Suppressing their disgust at the madam’s cheap perfume, Shao Zifeng and the others walked through the old and dimly lit hallway.

“Here are the keys for the two double rooms and one large bed room. If you need anything in the evening, you can call me anytime,” the madam said, her gaze moving over them once again, lingering on the bald man’s robust physique.

She traced her finger along his chin and slipped a piece of paper into his collar, giving the bald man a flirtatious wink before leaving with a “coquettish laugh,” as he wore a horrified expression.

Shao Zifeng barely suppressed a smile as he used the key to open the door, teasing the bald man who had a constipated look on his face, “Brother Qiang, springtime has arrived, why not offer a smile?”

“Get lost!”

Seeing his angry and embarrassed reaction, Shao Zifeng knew when to quit. If he really annoyed him, the man’s pettiness was unpredictable.

Squeak~

The old wooden door creaked open, revealing a cramped and gloomy room with two single beds pushed together, covered with white bed sheets—it was counted as a double room even without air conditioning or TV.

Shao Zifeng stepped into the room and was hit with an indescribable odor. He fanned the air in front of his nose and then peeled back the bed sheets.

Ssst—The bed sheets were incredibly filthy.

Beneath the sheets, the mattress was stained with dried, dark red bloodstains, surrounded by larger yellow stains. These stains overlapped, some light yellow, some now a brownish-yellow, presumably the residue of age-old urine.

Shao Zifeng raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Seeing that Shao Zifeng was motionless, Li Yiming peeked over and upon seeing the stains on the mattress he exclaimed, “Wow, these heartless maggots are actually making us sleep in a bed that someone else has pissed in.”

The corner of Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing. Meanwhile, the bald man leaning against the doorframe couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Li Yiming looked puzzled at the two men, asking weakly, “Did I say something wrong? The bed my… my little sister peed in when I was a child looked just like this.”

Ignoring him, Shao Zifeng picked up his bag and turned to leave, “Brother Qiang, call and book a different hotel. I’ll foot the bill.”

Hu Shiwu exclaimed, “666, the captain is so generous, long live the captain!”

Then, attempting to grab a bit of the limelight in front of everyone, he was once again ignored by all.
