118: Prince of Damon

Three days after Bi Fang upgraded, the National Team gathered early in the morning.

Before training even began, Coach Huo brought a group of foreigners to the training ground.

Coach Huo respectfully said to the man at the head of the group, "Prince White Gaze, this is our training ground."

Gu Xiaoyue was originally wondering why these foreigners came to the National Team.

White Gaze saw Gu Xiaoyue in the crowd, and his eyes lit up. "Sister!"

He rushed towards Gu Xiaoyue and hugged her tightly!

Gu Xiaoyue was a little confused; she didn't feel any malice from the man in front of her.

But his actions were very intimate.

"Sister, I finally waited for you!"

Seeing this, Chu Li and Shui Lingyu immediately separated the two.

Gu Xiaoyue carefully examined White Gaze.

He had bronze skin and a very strong build.

His hair was navy blue, and his eyes were heterochromatic; one eye was brown, and the other was gold.

He smiled gently, revealing a canine tooth.

"Do we know each other?"

Gu Xiaoyue asked tentatively. She was absolutely certain she had never seen this person before.

Could it be a friend of the original owner? But it wasn't in the original owner's memories either.

Coach Huo explained from the side, "This is the Prince of Damon Country. He said he came to the National Team to find a friend."

Damon Country is a neighboring country of Dragon Country, and their relationship is quite good.

The two countries occasionally have diplomatic activities, but those are at the national level. This is the first time anyone has come to the National Team training ground.

Chu Li scoffed, saying with great dissatisfaction, "The Prince of Damon Country? I haven't heard of anyone hugging right away. Is this Damon Country's etiquette? There's no such rule in Dragon Country, anyway!"

Before White Gaze could speak, his subordinate, a middle-aged man with a mustache named Job, spoke first: "My prince was just too happy to see his friend; please don't take offense, young man!"

His words were very polite, but his gaze was somewhat condescending.

He glared at Chu Li, as if to say, 'The main character hasn't said anything, but a petty clown has already appeared.'

Chu Li felt offended, but since the other party's attitude was still acceptable, he couldn't flare up.

"Sir, is the 'sister' you're referring to me?"

Gu Xiaoyue found it a bit strange. White Gaze looked like he should be older than her.

Hearing her words, the light in White Gaze's eyes seemed to dim a little.

He bit his lip, gave a somewhat melancholic 'hmm,' and then seemed to remember something.

"Sister, I specifically came to give you the keys this time!"

Gu Xiaoyue stared fixedly into White Gaze's eyes, her face full of confusion.

He continued, "It's the secret realm we discovered together. There are 99 keys in total. To thank you for giving me an Immortal Tier Pet Beast, I'll keep 33 and give you 66."

"Immortal Tier Pet Beast?"

Chu Li exclaimed in shock. With Gu Xiaoyue's personality, how highly would she have to regard this man to give him an Immortal Tier Pet Beast!

Shui Lingyu also frowned, his face full of disbelief.

He Zhichen, Lv Hao, and Su Anxi's eyes widened even more.

Immortal Tier Pet Beasts are already rare in the world. Is Gu Xiaoyue so wealthy that she can just give away Immortal Tier Pet Beasts?

Gu Xiaoyue, as the person in question, was even more shocked. How could that be?

Her current Immortal Tier Pet Beasts are Xiao Qi and Xiao Lan; she wouldn't give them away even if she were beaten to death!

Gu Xiaoyue quickly waved her hand. "Don't talk nonsense, thank you! I don't have an Immortal Tier Pet Beast to give you—"

However, she was very interested in the secret realm: "That secret realm—what level are the fierce beasts?"

White Gaze was very sad when he saw Gu Xiaoyue trying to draw a clear line with him.

When Gu Xiaoyue asked him about the secret realm again, he immediately replied, "The lowest are mature Fifth Tier."

White Gaze explained that when the secret realm was first discovered, there were 100 keys in total.

He had entered once before, used one key, and had a general understanding of the situation inside the secret realm.

He hadn't explored deeply, nor had he obtained any rare treasures.

This level of fierce beasts temporarily deterred Gu Xiaoyue.

She currently only has Xiao Qi at mature Sixth Tier; her other pet beasts are only mature First to Third Tier.

Even if she brought Chu Li and Shui Lingyu, it would likely be more bad than good.

Not to mention bringing Ye Wanrou, Chen Yixuan, and Fang Xiaoyu along.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't understand why White Gaze, whom she had never met, insisted she had given him an Immortal Tier Pet Beast and now wanted to give her keys to a secret realm.

After a few seconds of thought, she still politely refused.

"Thank you for Prince Damon's kindness, but the level of fierce beasts in the secret realm is a bit too high for me, and I cannot accept. If possible, please keep them for me, Prince."

"How can that be, Sister? You are the most powerful Beastmaster I have ever seen!"

White Gaze's words unconsciously carried a hint of a spoiled tone.

He looked at Gu Xiaoyue with burning eyes, his face full of sincerity.

Gu Xiaoyue was truly bewildered. She gave Coach Huo a pleading look.

Coach Huo coughed tactically, reminding White Gaze that they needed to train.

White Gaze sighed and asked Coach Huo for permission to study from the side.

Since it didn't involve tactical guidance, Coach Huo didn't object.

White Gaze dismissed his entourage and sat alone in a corner of the training ground.

However, Chu Li, Shui Lingyu, and He Zhichen were very displeased—the Damon Prince's gaze was constantly fixed on Gu Xiaoyue.

"How long are you going to stare?"

As soon as training ended, Chu Li ran up to White Gaze and asked through gritted teeth.

Shui Lingyu and He Zhichen also went over, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

Gu Xiaoyue followed, afraid they would go too far.

"You must be that 'Wolf Dog' Chu Li, right?"

White Gaze scrutinized Chu Li from head to toe, with a hint of disdain.

Shui Lingyu secretly curled the corner of his mouth beside him, then White Gaze said, "You 'White-Cut-Black,' what are you smiling at?"

Then he glared at He Zhichen. "You 'big-chested, brainless muscle man'—you guys constantly surround Sister, she finds it very annoying!"

The three boys' faces darkened, their eyes practically spitting fire.

They looked at White Gaze, then turned to Gu Xiaoyue, as if asking her what was going on.

Gu Xiaoyue's forehead was sweating. "I, I, I just met him today, I didn't say that!"

"Sister, have you forgotten? We haven't seen each other in years, have you forgotten everything?"

White Gaze said with a pouting mouth, looking wronged.

His words stunned Gu Xiaoyue and the others. They hadn't known each other a few years ago.

But the implication in White Gaze's words further confirmed that the previous evaluations came from Gu Xiaoyue.

The air seemed to freeze; for a moment, everyone didn't know what to say.

White Gaze's appearance made everyone feel an indescribable strangeness.

Gu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. She was just about to suggest—how about everyone goes out to eat together.

Just then, Chu Li's brain rang. He answered, "Old man, what did you say? The Gu Family old man wants to propose marriage to you?—"
