159: Chapter 159 Evolution into the Northern Sable is Imminent

Ningyang City No. 1 High School.

Having just finished her practical training class, Li Meng returned to the classroom, humming a cheerful tune.

As soon as she sat down, the Northward Sable couldn't wait to pull back her sleeve, pointing at her arm while chirping "You-you," its tone filled with impatience.

"Oh, don't be so impatient. There's still one class left. Look at this hand; when the hand reaches that position, then we can go find my brother."

Li Meng pointed at her watch and explained to the Northward Sable.

Upon learning that it wasn't time yet, the Northward Sable immediately wilted. It lay dejectedly on the desk, using Li Meng's arm as a pillow, staring at the watch without blinking, counting the time.

Its fluffy tail flicked back and forth, revealing its eagerness.

Li Meng was amused by this scene and let out a crisp, melodious laugh.

"Mengmeng, what are you so happy about?" a classmate asked curiously.

Ever since Li Meng had risked her life to save her classmates during the beast tide, many of them had undergone a huge change in attitude toward her and were incredibly enthusiastic.

Hearing this, Li Meng explained, "My brother said he's going to help me evolve my Northward Sable."

"Wow! Evolution!"

A classmate exclaimed, attracting the attention of the others.

"It's so good to have a Breeder in the family. If only my Beast could evolve once before the College Entrance Examination, but unfortunately, evolution costs a lot of money," a classmate said, full of envy.

"Hehe... Mengmeng, does your brother have a girlfriend? How about you let your brother help my Beast evolve too? I can be his girlfriend~" another freckled girl giggled.

"Are you doing that for the evolution? You're just lusting after his body."

"Hahaha..."

The atmosphere in the class was cheerful, with many people teasing and joking, but there was more envy toward Li Meng.

Beast evolution, aside from the risks, just the evolution materials and hiring a Breeder require a huge amount of money, which isn't something an average family can afford.

Li Meng giggled and didn't mind the teasing.

Just then, a sharp voice rang out.

"Tch! What's there to be so proud of? He's just an Intern; what kind of results can he produce? Be careful he doesn't evolve your Northward Sable to death. Hmph... don't come crying to us then."

The surrounding laughter came to an abrupt halt, and everyone looked at the person who spoke.

It was a girl with an arrogant expression and a slightly flat nose, sitting in the back row. She was wearing the same school uniform, but the Beast Tamer bracelet on her wrist, the brand-new backpack peeking out from her desk drawer, and the expensive shoes on her feet all indicated that she came from a very well-off family.

"Fang Xiaolei, what does how he breeds it have to do with you? I think you just can't stand to see others doing well! You're just jealous that Li Meng's brother is a Breeder."

A classmate who couldn't stand it shouted at her, but most of the others avoided eye contact and remained silent, seemingly afraid to provoke Fang Xiaolei.

Fang Xiaolei said with disdain, "Jealous, my foot! Interns are everywhere; what's there to brag about?"

"I wouldn't even let an Intern breed my Beast even if they paid me. My darling is precious; it's not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can breed."

"I'm not afraid to rub it in, but my family spent 300,000 to hire an Intermediate Cultivator for me! Note, that's 300,000! Envious, right? Do you have that? A bunch of poor ghosts, hmph..."

She lifted her chin, her face filled with undisguised superiority.

The surrounding classmates were stung and annoyed by her sarcastic remarks.

At this age, they were very concerned about face, and being mocked like this made them feel uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Li Meng quickly said, "Everyone, go back to your seats. Class is about to start. Getting a good grade is more important than anything; arguing won't solve anything."

She just wanted to finish the College Entrance Examination quietly and work hard to get into a good university; she didn't want to have conflicts with other classmates, and she certainly didn't want to see them targeted because of her.

Fang Xiaolei's family was in business, and her parents were somewhat famous Beast Tamers who spoiled their daughter excessively. If anyone offended her, there was no telling what kind of retaliation they might face.

Not that she was afraid.

But she didn't want to cause any trouble for her brother because of herself.

With a way out, the many classmates returned to their seats, directly ignoring Fang Xiaolei.

Seeing the other students cooperating, Fang Xiaolei's expression became even more displeased.

"What are they acting for? Acting like they're some big shots. Isn't it just saving a few people? What's so great about that?" Her words were filled with intense sourness.

Li Meng glanced back, but didn't respond to her again.

There were fewer classes in the afternoon than in the morning, and with more practical training, time seemed to pass much faster.

The Northward Sable thought so too.

Throughout the afternoon, it only asked for the time over 50 times and glanced at the watch hands over 100 times; it really wasn't that impatient.

If anyone was willing to believe that.

Ring-ring~~~ As the urgent school dismissal bell rang.

With a "whoosh" sound, a flash of white light rushed from the desk to the classroom door.

It was the Northward Sable. It stood at the classroom door, holding Li Meng's backpack in its mouth. The entire Sable stood on its hind legs, with a pen and notebook clutched in its paws, waving at Li Meng.

"Woo! Woo! Woo~~~" the Northward Sable urged, meaning, "Hurry! Don't keep your brother waiting!"

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom, and someone took out a phone, snapping photos with "click-click" sounds.

The teacher, whose face had been stern, also revealed a smile and said to the embarrassed Li Meng, "Go ahead, good luck."

It was hard to tell if Fang Xiaolei had done it on purpose.

In the span of an afternoon, the entire class, and even the students and teachers of the entire grade, knew about Li Meng's plan to have her Beast bred that afternoon.

"Thank you, teacher." Li Meng replied obediently, and then walked out of the classroom under the teasing gazes of the whole class.

"Let's go!" Li Meng scooped up the Northward Sable, her eyes shining, and shouted excitedly, "To evolution!"

Once she finished speaking, she rushed toward the stairs, running with a speed that shouldn't belong to her gender, height, or status.

Faintly, the terrified screech of the Northward Sable could be heard in the hallway.

At the classroom door, Fang Xiaolei watched Li Meng's hurried figure, a flash of displeasure crossing her eyes.

Just then, her phone rang. "My sweet baby, how was your day at school? Did you have fun?" a voice filled with doting affection asked.

"Not great, I was disgusted by a poor student," Fang Xiaolei said indifferently.

As soon as she finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone immediately bristled, screaming, "Which bastard dares to bully my daughter? This is simply outrageous! You tell Mommy, Mommy will get revenge for you!"

Fang Xiaolei huffed unhappily and said, "That person has a brother who is a Breeder at Bright Moon Company. Although he's just an Intern, he is still with Bright Moon Company."

"My sweet baby, don't be sad. The Breeder Mommy found for you is from Bright Moon Company, and he has some weight in the company. He's an old acquaintance of your father. Mommy will talk to him later and have him find a reason to fire that Intern!"

"Really? That's great, Mommy! I love you to death!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiaolei walked faster in excitement; she couldn't wait to see Li Meng's miserable look!
