Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

After a simple tidying up, Shen Fei lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, Shen Fei slowly walked down Nord street, passing through the sparse crowd.

There were so few people today. If it was any other time, the streets would have been filled with Beastmasters who came to buy materials. It was still good to have less pedestrian traffic.

Shen Fei quickly walked to a shop that sold ritual crystals. The fewer the people who came to this street, the higher the possibility of buying high-quality ritual crystals.

Today, he had to get the best crystal seller on this street.

Yesterday, before heading to the Aloy family's banquet, Shen Fei had been here to buy a ritual crystal. However, when he arrived at the shop, the shop owner decisively told Shen Fei that he had come too late, and even the worst quality crystal in the store had been picked up by someone else.

This time, he had come quite early. He would definitely be able to pick the best quality ritual crystal! Then, it would be even easier to awaken a second innate talent!

At this point, Shen Fei's eyebrows relaxed. It was also good to use the second awakened talent to shut the mouths of the others—the few bootlickers who targeted him.

Every time they saw him, they would call him F-class trash over and over again. He did not know how many times they had said it, but they never stopped.

Even though Shen Fei did not say anything back, he still felt annoyed.

'Once I awaken my second innate talent, let's see how they'll use this to criticize me!' At this thought, Shen Fei unknowingly quickened his pace.

Yesterday, he had already gathered all the medicinal herbs and other required materials. As long as he collected the ritual crystals today, he could go straight to the special cultivation room to awaken his talent.

"Huh, Shen Fei, is that you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Fei turned around.

"Lilian?"

"It's really you!" The white-haired girl ran over in surprise and hugged him excitedly. "We haven't seen each other for so long. I've missed you so much..."

As she said this, her entire body was almost buried into Shen Fei's bosom, and she swayed slightly in his arms from the momentum.

Looking at Lilian in his arms, Shen Fei's lips curled into a smile. "It wasn't that long ago. Don't we see each other in class every day at school?"

After saying this, Shen Fei lightly patted her arm. "Alright, let me go. There are lots of people watching."

Shen Fei was currently Aloy's fiancé, so he was easily recognizable. If he were to be questioned by the mayor or Aloy, he would be in deep trouble.

"I'm not letting go!" Lilian latched onto Shen Fei like a spoiled child, refusing to let go.

She silently lowered her eyes. Ever since Shen Fei started to restore his relationship with Aloy, he had no time to play with her. Moreover, Shen Fei seemed to be quite busy during this period of time. He was either dueling with Zhang Youcheng or Li Yuan.

"You've been so busy lately, we haven't walked home together like we used to..." Lilian's voice sounded like she was about to cry. Her little thoughts were completely exposed in front of Shen Fei.

Shen Fei looked at the girl in his arms helplessly. "Of course I want to walk home with you, but I really don't have the time now. Look at those young masters from the major families, which one of them doesn't see me as a thorn in their side?

"Plus, I've just become an Echelon. There's still a lot of work and training waiting for me at school."

"I don't care... You have time to accompany Aloy, why don't you have time to accompany me?"

Shen Fei could not help but laugh. Lilian's feelings for him were quite genuine. But no matter how he looked at it, she was like a child who was acting coy with him.

If he had to say it, he still preferred a more mature woman.

"Alright, hurry up and let go." Shen Fei once again gently patted her arm. "I still have things to do."

Hearing his words, Lilian raised her head unwillingly and looked at Shen Fei with her puppy eyes. After a long time, she finally let go.

"Of course I know you're busy, but I've really missed you... Then, do you mind walking with me for a while? Just stay with me for a while, a few minutes will be enough!"

Lilian pointed at the public cultivation room in front of Nord Street.

"We'll just go there, is that okay?"

"Of course we can." Shen Fei reached out and petted Lilian's fine white hair.

"Yay!" Upon hearing this, Lilian was so excited that she hugged Shen Fei again.

However, when she noticed the judgmental gazes of the people on the street, she immediately let go.

"Then, let's go now, Shen Fei!"

"Alright," he said. Shen Fei nodded and brought Lilian along.

With Shen Fei's company, Lilian's mood immediately became much more cheerful. She also looked much more energetic than before.

"Speaking of which..." Shen Fei curiously looked at Lilian. There was a question that had been on his mind for a long time, but he did not have the chance to seek her for an answer.

"I remember you have a very special spirit beast called the Croix Silver Snake, right?"

"Yup." Lilian nodded uncertainly. 'Why is Shen Fei suddenly asking about this?'

"I'm thinking about something." Shen Fei pinched his chin and thought carefully.

By right, spirit beasts with special attributes, such as his dark-attribute Three-clawed Golden Dragon, should have extraordinary strength and powerful abilities.

The Croix Silver Snake itself was a special spirit beast of the time attribute. In addition, Lilian's innate talent was A-class. With a strong talent and a strong spirit beast, she should be among the ranks of the Echelon students, right?

But she had no ranking among the Echelon students.

"Lilian, what's your ranking in the academy?"

Lilian felt a little proud when she said, "I'm an Excelling student. Even though I'm an Excelling student, I'm not that strong. After all, I didn't study well before, and now I'm trying to make up for it."

Lilian cleverly winked at Shen Fei and smiled.

'So it was like this.' Shen Fei nodded his head, he roughly understood.

Although Lilian's talent and spirit beast were good, she was still a burden because she did not study well before.

"Although I don't have the ability to become an Echelon student, being an Excelling student is not bad. "

Shen Fei immediately consoled her, "When you improve your ability in the future, the rank of an Echelon would be easy to get."

"Hmph, that's only natural!" Lilian's face revealed a proud expression. "That's why I snuck here today for special training! You didn't expect that, did you?"
