Free Web NovelSomething is very wrong with Zhang Hui.
His eyes clearly showed suspicion.
So...
Is it possible that this person was sent by the mastermind?
Mingxi intentionally provoked them, not to attract the attention of Zhang Hui and the others, but to conceal her momentary change in expression.
There are many clever people in this world.
She could notice the abnormality of Zhang Hui and his assistant, and it was possible that another ‘oriole’ had also noticed her.
So, when she realized she might have made a mistake, she immediately put on a provocative face.
Anyway, the conflict between Zhou Yaqi and Zhang Hui was already out in the open. As an assistant who was deliberately excluded, if she was a little sharp-tongued towards the enemy, who wouldn't praise her for being 'fiercely loyal to her master'?
Given her limited acting skills, 'self-exposure' was the best self-preservation.
"A small man's triumph!"
Zhang Hui and his assistant naturally heard Mingxi's provocative words.
Their gazes turned vicious, as if they wanted to devour someone.
Zhang Hui looked at Zhou Yaqi, who seemed unconcerned, and said coldly, "Old Brother Zhou, rein in your dog."
Zhou Yaqi had not yet reacted.
Mingxi had already stepped forward.
Her hands quickly formed seals.
Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower appeared simultaneously. The exceptionally magnificent and imposing figures of the two pet beasts shocked everyone present!
"Little Silver Flower, Barrier!"
"Golden Yuanbao, Cross Sky."
The two beasts understood instantly, and energy surged around them.
A translucent square Barrier appeared beside Zhang Hui and his assistant.
The Barrier quickly contracted, neither too big nor too small, just enough for two adult men to stand face to face, upright. Not to mention moving, even their breaths were circulating into each other.
"Ugh!"
One of them must have eaten garlic for lunch, as the heavy smell immediately filled their nostrils.
Meanwhile, Golden Yuanbao flew high up and fixed itself below the ceiling, looking down at everyone motionless.
Cross Sky, a high-level Flight skill, allows a pet beast to remain suspended at any spatial point in any posture, even without frequently flapping its wings.
Simply put, it's a fixed-point hovering skill.
For Flight-type pet beasts, staying fixed at the same spot while flying is actually not easy. Factors such as size, airflow, wind, inertia, and gravity can all cause them to be in motion while flying.
Of course, it's not entirely impossible. For example, accelerating wing beats can achieve a short-term stop.
But they certainly can't remain completely still.
It's even more impossible in a confined space.
And Cross Sky can solve this problem. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Cross Sky seems to be of little use, but in specific environments, it can definitely play an unexpected role.
For example, at this moment, Golden Yuanbao's massive body was almost horizontally spread above everyone's heads, looking down at everyone with an absolutely arrogant gaze.
The effect, how can one describe it other than 'awesome'?
"You Yan Yue Huang!"
"Lovenia! No, Lovenia has evolved to General-level!" freēwebnovel.com
"She, she, she! She's that Mingxi!"
After a brief silence, many people became agitated, pointing at Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower and crying out in astonishment.
At the same time, they also recognized Mingxi, who had been wearing a mask.
Although Mingxi had only emerged for less than a year, her reputation in Dragonflower Country was already comparable to some S-Grade big shots.
There was no other way; when a person's talent is so monstrous that it's unstoppable, it's hard not to become famous.
What's more, not only was her Beast Tamers talent heaven-defying, but all the pet beasts she contracted were also unique.
Other genius Beast Tamers are 1+1 > 2, she is different, it is 1 + 1 >.
Mingxi's appearance overshadowed the talents of her contemporaries and made some who had always thought highly of themselves understand what it meant to have someone better out there.
What?!
You became a D-level Beastmaster at 20?
Hehe, Mingxi was already a B-Grade Beastmaster before she was 15. When you compare yourself to her... Oh, you're not even worthy of being compared to her.
What?!
You cultivated a Shi-level pet beast at 20?
Hehe, do you know You Yan Yue Huang? Her Beast Tamers is still a minor!
It can be said that Mingxi single-handedly raised the standard for all talents.
"Oh my goodness, Old Zhou's assistant is actually Mingxi? A genius like her was even excluded from the observation team. This... I won't say who was blind."
"She is indeed a genius, but no matter what, she is only a B-Grade Beastmaster. It's normal for her to be unqualified to be a member of the observation team due to insufficient strength. You can't just treat her differently because she's a genius, right? Is that fair to other B-Grade Beastmasters?"
"Only a B-Grade Beastmaster? Do you hear yourself? Are you even half as strong as her when you were 15?"
"I'm just stating facts! She's a B-Grade Beastmaster, and it's a fact that she's not qualified to join the observation team."
"I think you're just envious, jealous, and hateful."
Mingxi's name was actually registered when they boarded the submarine, but at the time, no one # Nоvеlight # would connect her to 'that' Mingxi.
Zhou Yaqi had also never proactively introduced her to anyone. Everyone referred to her as Zhou Yaqi's assistant. After Zhou Yaqi and the others left, Mingxi acted like a lone wolf, with zero interaction with others.
The reason Mingxi exposed herself at this moment was because she knew very well that her identity could not withstand scrutiny.
Sooner or later, someone would find out that Zhou Yaqi's assistant was her, Mingxi.
Instead of passively becoming a target of attention, it was better to openly declare her identity. Perhaps it could even serve as a smokescreen.
As the saying goes, 'appear strong when weak, and weak when strong.'
Sometimes, if you act too low-key, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it becomes a sign of guilt or fear.
Of course, being high-profile also cannot be thoughtless.
Otherwise, it would be overdoing it.
"Dog? Is that a species like you that gets locked up?"
Mingxi's sharp eyes stared intently at Zhang Hui, who was trapped inside the Barrier.
Zhang Hui's face was as dark as a construction foreman's. Enduring the urge to vomit, he struggled to turn his head and glare at Mingxi.
He seemed to have only just realized Mingxi's identity, and his expression was also one of disbelief.
Was that old fool Zhou Yaqi crazy?
How could he invite Mingxi to be his assistant?!
"Beast Tamers are not allowed to command pet beasts to attack humans. Mingxi, right? Do you know you're breaking the law!" Zhang Hui managed to suppress the complex emotions in his heart and met Mingxi's gaze coldly.
Mingxi's lips curved slightly, "Attack? How can a Barrier be considered an attack? I'm clearly having my pet beast protect you, to prevent me, angered by an idiot, from impulsively killing you. Don't believe me? Look—"
She stepped forward to the Barrier, pulled out a cleaver from the Time Realm, and swung it fiercely at Zhang Hui's head.
Zhang Hui's pupils uncontrollably dilated and contracted rapidly.
"Ding!"
The cleaver struck the translucent Barrier wall.
Mingxi did not stop, wielding the cleaver as if venting her anger.
A series of 'ding, ding, ding' sounds, sparks flying everywhere, until the cleaver's edge was riddled with nicks. Only then did she let out a long sigh of regret and throw away the cleaver in her hand.
"The Barrier, it protects you so well."
Everyone: "..."
