7: Chapter 7 The Incubator Association, Chu Yuqing's Shock

By the time they emerged from the Secret Realm, it was already afternoon, after school had ended.

Therefore, after leaving the Weimang Secret Realm entrance at the school, Chu Xiu did not return to his classroom but walked directly out of the school.

After leaving school, Chu Xiu didn't rush home either.

Instead, he hitched a ride towards the Breeder Association in Linjiang City.

He remembered that he had an older sister in this world, Chu Yuqing.

Her beast was a Unicorn with healing abilities, and its strength had reached Gray-White 9-star.

Also being a Grass-type beast, Chu Xiu believed that the Healing Ability of a Gray-White 9-star Unicorn would quickly restore his Scythe Mantis's injuries.

Chu Yuqing happened to work at the Linjiang City Breeder Association.

After a twenty-minute drive, Chu Xiu finally arrived at the Breeder Association.

He had been to the Breeder Association many times before, so he quickly spotted Chu Yuqing.

He saw a tall woman standing quietly at one of the counters in the Breeder Association.

The woman wore a simple, plain-colored chiffon blouse that gently rose and fell with her breathing, revealing her delicate collarbone and slender wrists.

Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, with softly curled ends, accentuating her fair and exquisite face, a beauty that captivated the men passing by in the Breeder Association, making them unable to resist taking a second glance.

"Sis!"

Seeing the familiar beautiful figure, Chu Xiu called out in the woman's direction.

Hearing Chu Xiu's call, Chu Yuqing immediately looked in his direction, and a look of surprise flashed across her face when she saw him.

"Chu Xiu, why are you here?"

Amidst her surprise, Chu Yuqing quickly walked up to Chu Xiu and asked in astonishment.

"Sis, I have good news! I've successfully contracted a beast and become an official Beastmaster!"

Looking at the excited Chu Yuqing in front of him, Chu Xiu rubbed his nose and said.

"Really?!"

As soon as he said this, a bright light flashed in Chu Yuqing's beautiful eyes, her surprise evident.

Ever since their parents, who were members of the Qingyi Bureau, unexpectedly died during a mission, Chu Yuqing and Chu Xiu had depended on each other.

Her greatest wish in life was for Chu Xiu to become a Beastmaster.

"Really, the beast I contracted is a Scythe Mantis."

"But I beat my beast too hard before contracting it, and it's still severely injured."

Chu Xiu nodded, looking at the excited Chu Yuqing.

"To actually be able to contract a Scythe Mantis, that's an Elite Tier beast, and it can even evolve into the Rare Tier Wood Blade Mantis!"

Upon learning the type of Chu Xiu's beast, Chu Yuqing's smile grew wider.

After speaking, she quickly reacted and looked at Chu Xiu with a smile, saying:

"Wait, Chu Xiu, you didn't just come to me to share good news, you also want my Unicorn to heal your Scythe Mantis, right?"

"Sis is so smart, you guessed it right away, hehe."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu gave Chu Yuqing a thumbs-up and chuckled.

"Alright, stop your babbling, come with me."

Looking at Chu Xiu, Chu Yuqing rolled her eyes at him, but still led him into a Breeding Room.

"Xiao Bai, come out."

After entering the Breeding Room, Chu Yuqing summoned her Unicorn, preparing to treat Chu Xiu's Scythe Mantis.

"Good heavens, Black Iron 2-star! It looks like Sis's Unicorn already broke through, and she never told me."

After seeing the level of Chu Yuqing's Unicorn through the system panel, Chu Xiu gave Chu Yuqing a strange look.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and summon your beast."

Seeing Chu Xiu still in a daze, Chu Yuqing extended her right index finger and gently tapped Chu Xiu's forehead.

"Sis, I'm already in my final year of high school, can you stop always tapping my head? Don't I have any dignity..."

Facing Chu Yuqing's childish behavior, Chu Xiu complained helplessly.

"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here, quickly summon your beast and let me see it."

However, after hearing his complaint, Chu Yuqing crossed her arms, acting like an older sister, completely different from her composed demeanor in the Breeder Association lobby earlier.

Facing the bloodline suppression from his older sister, Chu Xiu could only obediently summon his Scythe Mantis.

"Pfft, Chu Xiu, did your Scythe Mantis just crawl out of a coal mine? It's so black?"

The moment Chu Xiu summoned the Scythe Mantis, seeing its pitch-black appearance, Chu Yuqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Screech——"

Hearing Chu Yuqing's laughter, the Scythe Mantis immediately raised its two blade arms, letting out a hostile screech at her, adopting an offensive stance.

"Scythe Mantis, this is my sister, don't be rude!"

Feeling the Scythe Mantis's hostility towards Chu Yuqing, Chu Xiu's expression became stern, and he immediately reprimanded it.

"Mmm mmm..."

Scolded by Chu Xiu, the Scythe Mantis immediately retracted its blades, folding its arms with its elbow joints resting near its jaw, looking at Chu Xiu with a wronged expression.

"Alright, it's all my fault for not greeting you in advance, it won't happen again."

Feeling the Scythe Mantis's grievance, Chu Xiu sighed, reached out, and stroked its head to comfort it.

With these words, the Scythe Mantis's mood recovered. It then turned around, looked at Chu Yuqing, and bowed slightly, expressing its apology.

"Chu Xiu, what level is your Scythe Mantis?"

However, at this moment, Chu Yuqing looked at Chu Xiu with a shocked expression.

Because the moment the Scythe Mantis screeched at her, she felt a sense of danger that sent chills down her spine.

Although she didn't have a combat-type beast, she was still a Black Iron Tier Beastmaster.

Even if the distance between them was less than two meters, to give her such a strong sense of crisis, the strength of this Scythe Mantis in front of her had to be at least Gray-White 7-star.

This would be in its peak condition; currently, Chu Xiu's Scythe Mantis was clearly severely injured, and its strength was probably less than half of its peak.

In her impression, Chu Xiu's strength yesterday was only Gray-White 2-star, and he hadn't even condensed a Beast Taming Seed.

Now, he had suddenly contracted a Scythe Mantis that was at least Gray-White 7-star; how could she not be surprised?

When she first heard that Chu Xiu had successfully contracted a beast, she guessed that he had just condensed a Beast Taming Seed, and the contracted beast wouldn't exceed Gray-White 3-star.

But now, it seemed that Chu Xiu's Scythe Mantis completely exceeded her expectations.

"Ahem, Sis, my Scythe Mantis's level has already reached Gray-White 7-star."

Looking at Chu Yuqing, whose pretty face was filled with shock, Chu Xiu puffed out his chest and said proudly, thinking that he had finally won a round.

"R-really Gray-White 7-star?"

"My dear brother, it's just the two of us here, quickly tell your sister, what kind of love potion did you give this Scythe Mantis to make it willingly follow you?"

Hearing Chu Xiu's answer, Chu Yuqing's delicate body trembled, then she took a step forward, came to Chu Xiu's side, and whispered.

"Pah! Who gave it a love potion? I told you I beat it into submission."

"(ˉ▽￣～) Hmph~~"

Chu Yuqing looked unconvinced by Chu Xiu's answer; in her opinion, with Chu Xiu's strength, he couldn't possibly defeat a Gray-White 7-star Scythe Mantis.

Most likely, Chu Xiu encountered this severely injured Scythe Mantis in the school's Secret Realm and took advantage of the opportunity.

"Never mind, no matter what, it's a good thing that my brother can contract a Gray-White 7-star Scythe Mantis. This is his opportunity, a great joyous occasion for our family!"

Shaking her head, Chu Yuqing stopped prying and instead commanded her Unicorn to begin healing the Scythe Mantis.
