Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 556 - 548: Did I Interrupt Your Kissing Again?
Little Poison happily bit into the snake fruit, "Thank you, Contractor! You’re the best!"
It truly liked Qian Qi. Other Beast Masters wished they could tie their Contracted Beasts to them 24/7, not allowing any freedom to fight or gain combat experience, but Qian Qi was different. She highly respected the wishes of the beasts and didn’t force the naturally weak Qian Ba to grow, nor did she insist that the adventurous beasts must stay in the Beast Taming Space.
Just like before the contract, it still had its freedom. In fact, Qian Qi would actively find things that could make it stronger.
So, it liked to bring her gifts after every adventure.
"Can I eat it now?"
"Go ahead, I’ll watch you eat."
Little Poison swallowed the Crystal Snake Fruit.
Soon, its snake scales began to swell, with popping sounds as scales were forcibly ejected from its body like bullets to the walls around the room.
Hu Zi was so frightened that he hid behind Qian Qi’s leg, his round tiger eyes staring at Little Poison.
So cool... He wanted it too.
Qian Qi took the system and placed it between herself and Su Ang.
System: [You ungrateful thing!]
Qian Qi: "You’re not a friend, you’re the System Lord I respect and admire."
System: ...Darn it, only sweet-talking at times like this!
After Little Poison finished shedding its scales, a tender, pink snake body was left, and though it ached, it felt as if every breath was burning pain.
Soon, the pink flesh started to darken as if stained with ink, and Little Poison began to emit a peculiar fragrance, making Hu Zi’s round head sway as he drunkenly fell at Qian Qi’s feet.
Su Ang held his forehead, a faint blush on his face. Weakly leaning on Qian Qi’s shoulder, his voice hoarse, "Qiqi... I feel a bit dizzy..."
Qian Qi didn’t feel anything. Just when she was about to ask the system what was happening, she saw the system leap like a cat to Little Poison’s side, [No way, cannot be! Could it really be this coincidental?!]
It quickly shrank to the size of a fingernail and rushed straight into Little Poison’s mouth.
Qian Qi: ???
System! What are you doing?!
Little Poison’s evolution continued, and from within the darkened flesh, snake scales began to emerge. Unlike before, the new scales were a deep black like obsidian on the surface and a translucent white like lychee flesh underneath, glinting with iridescence.
When the black and iridescent scales covered the entire body, suddenly, they rolled like crashing waves, completely presenting the backs of the scales over the serpent’s body, transforming into a new coat of multicolored translucent scales.
The white scales rustled like hypnotic white noise, making Su Ang increasingly sleepy, his eyelids growing heavier until Qian Qi gave a slight shoulder shake that startled him awake. He quickly released his spiritual power to resist the overpowering sleepiness.
"Is it an S-Class Spiritual Skill?" Su Ang looked at the venom, surprised.
"S-Class? Spiritual?"
Qian Qi was momentarily confused, "Is this a horizontal evolution or a vertical evolution?"
The fingernail-sized system flew out from Little Poison’s mouth, [Sun]
Qian Qi: "Sun?"
Realizing it could only display half a word, the system quickly expanded back to its original size, [It really is this coincidental! It ate a highly digestible Poison Flower, one of the Evolution Materials for the Poisonous Emperor Python. Normally, without fully digesting it, it wouldn’t evolve successfully unless it consumed other evolution materials. But it happened to eat a Snow Demon Fruit at the same time, unexpectedly prolonging the Poison Flower’s digestion time!] 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
[The evolution energy of the Crystal Snake Fruit dissolved the Snow Demon Fruit, and combined with the Poison Flower, enabled Little Poison to successfully complete both horizontal and vertical evolution! Now it’s not only an S-Class Evolutionary Poisonous Magical Beast but also an S-Class Spiritual Magical Beast!]
[Not 9998, not even 998, only 9.8 billion to unlock the new skill identification panel for your beloved contracted beast!]
Qian Qi: "...You said it was 20 million last time."
The system was shocked: [That was so long ago, you still remember?!]
This one tries to save money by never unlocking skill panels for contracted magical beasts, thinking she had long forgotten!
Qian Qi pointed to her head, "I remember everything."
[This time is different, this is S-Class Spiritual, even with Illusion Skill, compatible with your Illusion Skill’s usage value, don’t you get it?!]
Being able to use it with her Illusion Skill, Qian Qi was a bit tempted, "But I’m out of money, you’ve drained it all."
[Then Boss Qian Qi will have to overcome this difficulty herself ^^]
Qian Qi pursed her lips, a bit unhappy, "Only 9.8 billion, why not gift it to me?"
Beside her, Su Ang saw her pout, and couldn’t help but press it down with his hand. The soft touch made his ears redden a bit, and he shyly withdrew his hand.
"What’s wrong, looking so unhappy?" he asked.
"I just became broke." Qian Qi opened her Light Brain to see where she might scrounge some money.
Su Ang held her hand, then used his free one to open the Light Brain on his wrist, transferring all his stored money to Qian Qi’s account, "It’s all yours."
Qian Qi was dazzled by the long string of numbers; she counted each one, "Seven, eight, nine, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen—ten trillion! How do you have so much money!"
"Earned it since I was little," Su Ang lowered his head slightly shyly, "hardly spent it."
"Saving for a wedding?" Qian Qi exclaimed in shock.
Su Ang shook his head, "It wasn’t before, but it is now."
Wasn’t that like turning funeral savings into wedding savings halfway?
Qian Qi didn’t dare to say it, fearing Su Ang would say she lacked romance, so she nodded quietly, "I’ll first spend 9.8 billion; I’ll repay you once I earn more."
Su Ang furrowed his brows, "I misspoke."
Qian Qi leaned closer as she transferred funds, "Hmm? What’s wrong?"
"It’s not wedding savings." Su Ang corrected, one word at a time, "It’s a dating fund."
Qian Qi: ...
Damn, I’ve been charmed, I want to kiss.
Just as she leaned in to kiss, a blinding, multicolored light suddenly appeared beside her, followed by an extremely fierce aura that swept through, shaking the entire building and making dust fall—
At the Awakener University, Uncle Sun and Uncle Li suddenly opened their eyes, their sharp, gray eyes shooting towards the distant horizon.
S-Class Magical Beast?!
How is there an S-Class Magical Beast in Yan City!
Both uncles flew up at the same time, summoning their Contracted Beasts and rushing towards the source of the aura.
Meanwhile, at the Bright Orphanage, Little Poison transformed into a giant python in the blink of an eye, cramped in the small ten-square-meter room, its large snake head nestled just above Qian Qi and Su Ang’s heads.
It opened its mouth, "Oh, did I interrupt your kiss again?"
