Beastmaster? Monsters are beasts too!

Chen Xiu typed rapidly on his phone screen, and a line of glaring text popped up instantly in the class group chat.

[Chen Xiu: Su Qiushui, have you no shame?]

[Chen Xiu: Last night you went out fooling around with Xiao Junyi and called me specifically to annoy me. When I didn't answer, you called my mom, crying and pretending to be guilty for a thrill. How dare you say sorry?]

The moment the message came out, the previously silent class group chat exploded!

[Student A: What's going on? Is there some big news?]

[Student B: What?! I can listen to this without paying?!]

The students in Beast Taming Class Two were completely dumbfounded!

Su Qiushui is usually pure and well-behaved, and she is also the class's discipline monitor. How could she do such a disgusting thing?

Su Qiushui replied almost instantly.

[Su Qiushui: Chen Xiu, you're talking nonsense! I didn't do it at all! What makes you think you can slander me like this?!]

[Su Qiushui: I only called to apologize because I felt bad for how rude I was to you before. How could you throw such filth at me!]

Xiao Junyi's henchmen immediately jumped out to support him, their words filled with arrogance.

【Chen Xiu, are you out of your mind? You're acting like a mad dog, attacking everything after your own beast died?】

"Qiu Shui is so innocent, how could she do such a thing? You just can't stand to see others doing well!"

Chen Xiu looked at the clown jumping around on the screen and a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

His fingertips continued to tap, each word piercing the heart, showing no mercy.

[Chen Xiu: Slander? Luo Shiyi and I heard everything you and Xiao Junyi said on the rooftop yesterday, when you were hugging and kissing. Do you want me to drag her into the group chat for a confrontation?]

[Chen Xiu: Xiao Junyi had someone administer a beast-suppressing drug to my tamed beast, and you knew about it the whole time, even helping the infirmary cover it up. Then you turn around and stand on your moral high ground to accuse me of negligence. Is this your sense of guilt?]

[Chen Xiu: You helped that rich kid ruin my future, and now you're deliberately calling to annoy my family. Su Qiushui, you're the epitome of two-faced treachery, utterly disgusting!]

[Chen Xiu: This is my final warning. My mom is kind and soft-hearted, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. If you dare harass my family again, don't blame me for slapping your face to pieces!]

After a barrage of messages, the class group chat instantly fell silent.

Everyone knew that Chen Xiu was telling the truth, regarding Su Qiushui's unusual behavior and Xiao Junyi's deliberate targeting of Chen Xiu.

The key point is that, as the class monitor of Beast Taming Class Two, Chen Xiu's words were extremely convincing.

Su Qiushui's messages completely stopped. Staring at her phone screen, her face turned pale, and her fingers trembled so much that she couldn't even type a word.

She never expected Chen Xiu to be so ruthless and turn on her so easily!

They attacked her head-on, tearing away all her pretenses.

How will I be able to maintain my standing in the class after this?

In that instant, she felt an overwhelming regret for agreeing to Xiao Junyi's decision to seek thrills the night before.

But the thought that as long as Chen Xiu just kept quiet, no one would know, immediately twisted his expression.

"Chen Xiu, why are you always picking on me!"

……

After sending the message, Chen Xiu threw his phone on the dining table, too lazy to watch the farce in the group chat anymore.

He wasn't the original owner of this body, so he didn't have any of those foolish concerns like "years of friendship" or "this will ruin her."

As long as you don't delve into his personal secrets, there's nothing you can't say!

Li Juanli walked over with the porridge, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Chen Xiu's gloomy face.

"Son, what exactly happened between you and Su Qiushui? Don't be too impulsive, it will only hurt you and others."

Chen Xiu looked up at Li Juanli and said firmly, "Mom, if she calls again in the future, just hang up."

Looking into Chen Xiu's eyes, Li Juanli recalled the noisy crying she heard on Su Qiushui's phone last night.

Even if he was slow on the uptake, he immediately understood about 70-80% of what was going on and nodded: "Mom understands, I won't answer her calls anymore."

……

After breakfast, Chen Xiu took Chen Xiaoya's hand and they slowly walked towards the school.

The two walked the same route to school every day.

"Brother, now that you have the Great Horned Bull, can I have that beast-taming egg?"

Chen Xiaoya looked at Chen Xiu with innocent and naive eyes.

"No, that won't do." Chen Xiu patted his sister's head. "The beast taming potential inside is too low. I'll find you a stronger one later."

Chen Xiaoya pursed her lips. Li Juanli could make dozens of these empty promises every week.

She didn't believe it at all.

……

After dropping Chen Xiaoya off at school, Chen Xiu immediately turned around and headed in the opposite direction from the school toward the City Beast Tamer Association.

……

Chen Xiu entered the Zhaoxia City Beast Tamer Association, glanced around the hall, and headed straight for the most secluded window for social candidates.

Sure enough, the place was empty except for a young female employee wearing glasses who was looking down at her phone.

[A potential Gold-level monster has been spotted in the north of the city. In this video, we'll examine its combat capabilities...]

Chen Xiu knocked on the glass, reminding the engrossed female employee, "Hello, I'm here to reissue my Beast Tamer certificate."

The female employee didn't even look up. "Give me the relevant materials. The processing fee is fifty."

Chen Xiu handed over his ID card and said calmly, "The original beast tamer died, so I made a new contract with it. There's no contract certificate."

The female employee then raised her head, pushed up her glasses, and looked Chen Xiu up and down, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

She had seen too many people who, despite being young, had given up their studies and spent their days dreaming of becoming beast tamers.

"Re-contract? That requires on-site bloodline binding testing."

"At your age, you're a newly contracted cub, right? Bronze one-star or two-star? Let me know beforehand, otherwise the testing fee will be two hundred extra."

As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized crystal detector from the drawer and casually pushed it in front of Chen Xiu.

"Put your hand on it, and let your beast touch the crystal too."

Chen Xiu's heart tightened. The internet didn't mention these steps at all.

"Can you detect the potential of your beast tamers?"

The female employee rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "That's a separate fee, five hundred per time."

Without further ado, Chen Xiu summoned a figure in earthen yellow color beside him.

As soon as it landed, Gomora tilted its head curiously.

Little did they know that the moment Gomora appeared, the surrounding cameras instantly rotated and locked onto it!

In a monitoring room, an elderly man walked in and asked the burly man beside him a question.

"The one that attacked the city defense team last night?"

The burly middle-aged man nodded. "It should be good."

The old man shook his head upon hearing this, feeling somewhat regretful.

"An unknown monster? It has at least the potential of a gold-level beast, and you're just going to let us make a contract with it like that?"

"If we were to contract a Bronze Nine-Star Beast Tamer, I wonder what kind of outstanding performance they would deliver in the Youth Tournament three days from now."

The burly man chuckled. "Is Old Master Gong interested?"

Gong Zhengming stroked his beard. "I am, after all, the vice president of the Beast Taming Association. I should do my duty."

……

Just as the female employee was about to urge him, her pupils suddenly contracted when she looked up!

Those horns, that raised bony ridge, that thick tail!

It's exactly the same as the unknown monster that blew up the power grid in the north of the city that was circulating wildly in the internal group yesterday!

"Holy crap, is this guy here to cause trouble?"

She picked up her phone, and without revealing a word, pretended to be organizing documents while her hand quickly pressed the emergency call button under the table and sent a message.

"That monster is in the hall; it's been contracted by a student!"

……

Soon, a message popped up in the group chat.

"Which monster?"

"No idle chatting at work!"

"Oh! It's the one from the video last night!"
