Super Beast Taming System, Help Me Become a Female Warrior
Chapter 138: Painting a Pie for Gu Xiaoyue
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoyue had just taken off her coat. If she was changing her underwear, she wouldn't mind beating Charlie up.
"Oh! I'm sorry Yue! I was just anxious!"
Charlie looked embarrassed. He knew Gu Xiaoyue had returned to the dormitory, so he came to find her as soon as possible.
Etiquette was indeed ignored.
Gu Xiaoyue looked at him coldly, "What's the matter?
I hope this incident is serious enough to make you lose your composure like this."
"I've talked to Principal Zheng and asked him to let you be the captain of the national competition!"
Charlie was a little proud. He should be praised next month.
Gu Xiaoyue stared at Charlie for a moment as if he were a mentally retarded person, then rolled her eyes at him.
"I refuse."
Of course, Principal Zheng was eager to let Gu Xiaoyue take over as captain of the national competition again.
But in fact, she doesn't care at all.
Instead, Charlie went to talk to Principal Zheng and gave him a way out.
The key point is that Charlie's smug expression seemed like he was taking credit from Gu Xiaoyue.
"Why? You promised to help me win the title!
If you don't participate in the national competition, how can I have a chance of winning?!"
Charlie was a little excited.
He had investigated before coming here and found out that Huaqing's Lu Hao and Su Anxi, and Xiangzhong's Qian Mingyu were very strong, even to the point of being abnormal.
Although He Zhichen's academic performance was not good last year at Chongbei, the He family and Chongbei will pay more attention to him and train him.
Gu Xiaoyue raised her hand to signal him to calm down.
“As I recall, our verbal agreement was to guarantee your safety, and I had no obligation to help you fight for the title.
If I participate in the national competition, competing for the title may be a side event.
But I don’t want to participate now!
What's more, 20 million star coins and two stalks of Frost Star Grass every month will help you fight for the title. Your wishful thinking is really loud!"
Charlie's rude behavior just now made Gu Xiaoyue feel a little angry.
It wasn't just him barging in without knocking.
Furthermore, she had already made it clear that she did not want to participate in the national competition, but Charlie went to Principal Zheng on his own to arrange for her to be the captain!
Charlie he--crossed the line!
After Gu Xiaoyue finished her words, Charlie opened his mouth halfway, seemingly speechless.
“Lord Howard, perhaps you are used to making decisions for others.
But please don't forget, this is Dragon Country.
I am just your hired personal bodyguard, not a tool for you to fight for the title!"
Gu Xiaoyue stared at Charlie's eyes expressionlessly, watching his eyes gradually dim.
After a long time, Charlie lowered his head and left in frustration.
Gu Xiaoyue glanced at his departing back, then sat down cross-legged and continued to practice her ice flame skills.
Charlie returned to his room, and his dejected expression was seen by the butler Allen.
"What happened sir?"
Charlie repeated Gu Xiaoyue's words to Allen.
"Alan, tell me, why did Yue react so strongly?
But she was right, she did not promise to help me fight for the title with all her strength."
He has been in Longguo for more than a month. Since he hired Gu Xiaoyue as his personal bodyguard, Charlie told her about the dispute over the title.
He assumed that Gu Xiaoyue would help him.
"Alan, what should I do to make her continue to help me?
She said both stalks of Frost Star Grass were too cheap!"
Allen listened to Charlie's complaints quietly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Sir, there is a saying in Dragon Country called 'painting a big cake' - it means promising something that you don't have now, but you may get it in the future.
If your current supplies are not enough to impress Miss Gu, then why don't you try some of the resources you have after you get the title?"
When Charlie heard this, he suddenly understood.
He said excitedly: “Hey Alan, has anyone ever told you that you are a genius!
I will discuss it with her tomorrow!"
The next morning, as soon as Gu Xiaoyue opened the door, she saw Charlie standing at the door.
He personally pushed a food cart with a variety of meals on it.
Gu Xiaoyue was indeed going to have breakfast, and since Charlie had already sent her to the door, she stepped aside to let Charlie in.
"Yue, I'm sorry, my actions yesterday offended you!"
As soon as he entered the room, Charlie couldn't wait to apologize.
Gu Xiaoyue waved her hand, motioning Charlie to sit down and talk.
"I accept your apology, and thank you for getting up early to bring me breakfast.
But my thoughts will not change.
As for Principal Zheng, I won’t explain it either.”
Charlie didn't respond to Gu Xiaoyue's words. Instead, he asked her to eat breakfast first and talk after she was full.
Gu Xiaoyue had a feeling that Charlie might want to talk to her in detail after dinner.
So he didn't refuse and filled his stomach first.
She finished most of her meal, wiped her mouth, and signaled that they could have a good talk.
Charlie took a deep breath and apologized again.
“I’m sorry, Yue, you promised to be my personal bodyguard before, which made me think that you promised to help me fight for the title.
But actually it was just my wishful thinking. I thought it through yesterday.
Two stalks of Frost Star Grass are indeed not enough for you to help, so can the qualification to enter the secret realm of Nevis Snow Mountain impress you?"
Secret realm?
Gu Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows. She had never heard of it before.
Charlie looked at Xiaoyue's puzzled expression and explained, "Nevis Snow Mountain is within my family's territory, and few people know that there is a secret place there.
There were 99 keys in total, and my father gave 9 keys to each of my three brothers.
He once led a team of followers in there, and the beasts inside were at least at the seventh level of maturity.
So my father should still have 66 swords in his hands, which will be inherited by the next Duke.
The woman who was chasing me before was a member of the Dark Night Baron bandit gang.
They not only want the Frost Star Grass on me, but also the key to the secret realm."
Gu Xiaoyue understood, no wonder they were so persistent in pursuing her.
The lowest level of the ferocious beasts is mature stage seven, and the level of the natural treasures inside must be high as well.
"so what?"
Gu Xiaoyue didn’t get Charlie’s point. He didn’t know what he was trying to express after hearing all the things he said.
"I still hope you can help me win the title, the condition is the twelve keys to the secret realm."
Charlie said seriously.
Gu Xiaoyue thought for two seconds, then chuckled.
“Your offer is indeed very tempting, but I have a question.
If I promise you, but don't get the title in the end, then I've worked in vain?"
Charlie's face looked a little ugly, but Gu Xiaoyue smiled gently.
“If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
You can't just hang a carrot in front of you, and no matter how fast you run, you can only see it but can't eat it, right? "
Charlie frowned, as if he was struggling with his inner thoughts.
After a while, he drew a summoning circle, and five very exquisite keys with white buttons appeared in front of Gu Xiaoyue.
“I’ll give you five first, and if you succeed, I’ll pay you the remaining seven.
But I have a condition.”
"You said."
“I’ll give you five keys. If you fail, I won’t be able to become the next Duke.
At least, take me into the secret realm once.
I need some supplies to live out the rest of my life!"
