Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 122 This was a complete waste.

Lin Manman just couldn't understand one thing: if Wu Anbang's wife was really killed by people from this organization, why would he be willing to risk his life for them?

Could it be that this organization coerced Wu Anbang into helping them infiltrate Nanjing by controlling the life of Wu Anbang's wife?

But whatever his reasons, once he, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing garrison, becomes the protector of this organization, the entire Nanjing city will be in danger at any time.

She herself had been targeted and attacked by this organization before, so her situation would only become more dangerous.

No! She must leave Jinling as soon as possible!

She hurriedly tried to recall Hongyu and leave immediately, but Ruyi stopped her.

"Squeak, squeak..." Ruyi pointed to the counter on one side.

Ruyi had noticed that Lin Manman was either diligently examining something or deep in thought. Therefore, it hadn't disturbed her until it heard her about to leave, at which point it quickly spoke up to signal her to leave.

Having understood Ruyi's meaning, she looked at a not-so-obvious briefcase on the counter. Through Ruyi's hint, she knew that what the treasure hunter was looking for was inside.

It must have been the mysterious evolution potion that Chen Xuewei stole from that overseas organization!

The suitcase looks like it's used frequently; both latches are open.

Lin Manman thought for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the suitcase.

Even if we can't take it with us, knowing what kind of medicine this organization used to evolve the spirit beasts is still a very important piece of information.

When she opened the briefcase, three vials of reagent were neatly arranged inside. Two of the vials were already used up, leaving only the last one, a pale green reagent that emitted a soft glow.

Upon seeing the reagent, Xiao Qi suddenly rushed forward without hesitation, picked up the reagent, and stuffed it into Lin Manman's arms.

Lin Manman was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Qi so excited for the first time.

She only came to her senses after Xiaoqi stuffed the reagent into her arms.

"Waaah~"

She held the reagents, somewhat troubled. If she took them, her troubles would only get worse, but if she didn't, Xiao Qi wouldn't give up easily.

While hesitating and unable to make a decision, he subconsciously scanned the reagent in his hand with the system.

The next second, Lin Manman's eyes widened involuntarily.

Diluted life-giving water can promote the evolution of living organisms.

After studying for a period of time, Lin Manman has gained some understanding of the rare and precious materials in the secret realm.

The Spring of Life is one of the most legendary and precious natural treasures.

Legend has it that a single drop of the Spring of Life can transform and elevate one's life level. It is a powerful treasure that even surpasses the fruit of the Tree of Life.

The legendary secret realm containing the Spring of Life is located on the central continent, and because it is extremely dangerous, very few people have been able to bring the Spring of Life out of it alive.

It is a legendary object that many people have heard of, but no one has ever seen.

No wonder Xiao Qi is so excited. As a tree spirit, Xiao Qi is most sensitive to life energy. Now, not only is Xiao Qi reluctant to let go, but even she is reluctant to let go!

Although it is diluted life spring water, it still possesses such powerful life energy, which may help her brother's current condition.

She glanced at the scattered test tubes on the table and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The smaller the target of Xiaoqi's simulation skill, the longer it could last.

If it's something the size of a test tube, Xiaoqi can maintain her simulation skill for at least two days without revealing any flaws.

"Xiao Qi, it's up to you!" She picked up an empty test tube and gestured to Xiao Qi.

When Xiaoqi saw that she was willing to take away the diluted spring water of life, she was so happy that she flapped her little wings vigorously and quickly threw a simulation skill at the empty test tube.

The test tube, which was originally empty, now emits a soft, pale green light, just like the test tube in the other hand, after the skill is released.

The two reagent tubes looked exactly the same, both in appearance and in terms of the energy fluctuations they emitted.

Lin Manman silently gave Xiao Qi a thumbs up. After the Night Thief Treasure Rat incident, Xiao Qi realized the importance of simulation skills.

While everyone else was sleeping, it was secretly training so that it could perform at its best when Lin Manman needed it.

Seeing Lin Manman's praise for it, it happily snuggled against her face, feeling very proud that it had come in handy at this crucial moment.

"Alright, now's not the time to be coquettish. Let's hurry back."

Lin Manman put the fake reagent back, scooped up Xiao Qi and put it in her pocket, while she carefully placed the diluted life spring water into her spatial bracelet.

However, she didn't notice that the seed of the Tree of Life, which had lost its vitality and withered like a pebble, hidden under Xiao Qi's fluffy head, had just emitted a very faint light.

After cleaning up the mess she had made, Lin Manman raised her hand to recall Hongyu, intending to make a run for it.

Hongyu glanced upstairs, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Lin Manman patted its head and reassured it, "Don't worry, even if we don't kill it, it won't live long. But if we kill it now, we'll be in big trouble ourselves."

She didn't believe that the foreign organization would let Chen Xuewei go so easily, whether it was using treasure hunters to track him or the fact that he kept moving around and hiding in Jinling city but never escaped to other main urban areas.

It's probably not that he didn't want to escape from Jinling city, but that he had no way to escape.

Leaving the city requires the approval of the garrison, but now the garrison and this foreign organization are clearly in cahoots. If Chen Xuewei wants to leave the city through the garrison, wouldn't that be tantamount to walking into a trap?

But how long can he keep hiding in the city? So it's only a matter of time before Chen Xuewei is arrested; she doesn't need to do anything.

If she were to expose herself by killing Chen Xuewei, not only would she be in little danger, but the treasure she possessed would also become her death warrant.

Hongyu sensed Lin Manman's predicament and could only nod with difficulty.

"Let's hurry back and talk about it when we get there. This isn't a place to stay for long."

Lin Manman was already planning in her heart how to contact her senior brother Wu Jingfeng after returning home and find a way to move her family out of Jinling City as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, no matter how well she planned, she couldn't keep up with the changes.

This was the first time Hongyu had failed to use its spatial teleportation skill. Its snake face, which couldn't make any expressions, clearly showed its utter astonishment.

"What's going on?" Lin Manman didn't realize that Hong Yu had used a skill, but she could clearly sense Hong Yu's disbelief.

Before Hongyu could explain, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Good evening, beautiful lady. I knew Miss Lin and I were destined to meet. Look, here we are, bumping into each other here."

Accompanied by voices, the basement entrance creaked open from above.

A man in a sharp suit and top hat slowly walked down from the entrance...

Lin Manman realized something was wrong as soon as she heard the voice, and the moment she saw the person, she knew that today would be difficult to leave!

"Rainbow Jade!" Lin Manman called out softly, still hoping that Rainbow Jade could immediately teleport her outside.

"Miss Lin Manman, please stop shouting. Your spirit pet can't use spatial skills right now." As he spoke, the man took off his top hat and bowed slightly, greeting her politely.

Seeing Hong Yu's solemn expression, Lin Manman had only one thought in her mind.

That's it, this was a complete waste!
