Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 141 Banquet

After the trip to Taras ended, the tail-end team returned to their peaceful daily life.

I am usually busy with classes, but in my free time I occasionally take on some private work for Chairman Lion Yao, which is quite enjoyable.

After returning to Cross Base, Hera began her training. However, that shouldn't be said. A Mist-like demon (a type of leader) is an A-rank monster. Among the Monster Master candidates, who typically only possess D-rank monsters, Hera is undoubtedly an extremely powerful existence.

Just as powerful as Hera is Nightshade. Huaying can transform into a humanoid form and is quite formidable in her own right. It's just that Nightshade hasn't fully explored Huaying's strength yet. I believe that with time, Huaying will grow into a powerful monster.

As for Hela and Long Kui's two teammates, they were also old acquaintances. However, it was not yet time for them to appear, so we left it aside for now.

Now let's talk about Yiyin. Because he hasn't received any system quests in a long time, his level has been stagnant. But the enemy won't give him the chance to grow. Fortunately, Yiyin has been in the same group in recent adventures... But it's not his fault. Yiyin's abilities are all locked, and he can't carry even if he wants to.

What frightened Yiyin even more was that after the Taras incident, a great war between dwarves and giants would soon follow. This meant that Yiyin would have to face the most mysterious of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ouroboros - Soga Olumbo.

Soga's monster is a Taotie, and its exact rank is still unknown. However, the name is reminiscent of Qiongqi and its strength is evident.

No matter how troubled you are, life still has to go on.

Xuanwu is also going back to the Four Gods Base.

There was no way, Xuanwu had been delayed for too long. She had initially rushed to the Cross Base only to assist Baihu, but after that she not only met Qiongqi, but also went to the Dragon Palace to lower Talas, spending countless hours.

All of this is closely related to Yi Yin, after all, it was he who impulsively agreed to Xuan Wu's request to find Bai Hu. He decided to make up for his mistake a little and send Xuan Wu back.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Before leaving, Yiyin said this to his companions with great confidence.

"Okay, stop setting the flag." Di Qi said, "If you want to leave, then leave. Don't let it happen that you can't come back."

The other people's attitudes were roughly the same. After all, Yi Yin had already made the same trip several times. Everyone had heard the story of the boy who cried wolf, so Yi Yin's actions this time didn't cause much of a stir.

In this way, Yiyin and Xuanwu temporarily left the Cross Base and began to move towards the Four Gods Base.

.

In fact, Xuanwu was very nervous when she first arrived at the Cross Base because she was always concerned about Baihu's safety.

This is not a good thing for her.

As Xuanwu had said before, some unnecessary emotions might have sprouted in her heart. As the Xuanwu family, known for their solitary heritage, strong emotions could affect their thinking, causing their words to lose effectiveness at best and backfire at worst.

Xuanwu has been cultivating his mind. Only with a calm heart can he calmly accept the results of each divination.

This is the corresponding price she needs to pay.

"Xuanwu-senpai?"

Xuanwu suddenly came to his senses and found that Yiyin had been calling him.

The calm sound of the dragon worm can easily distract people, and Xuanwu happened to be distracted.

"Are you okay? You don't look well. Is the backlash from the Word Spirit still not over?"

Xuanwu shook his head slightly.

"(The cooldown of the Word Spirit has been restored. After these days of rest, I can almost use the power of the Word Spirit again. Putting that aside, the journey to the Four Gods Base is still long. Should we summon the Seven Saints?)"

The mention of the Seven Sages Summoning made Yi Yin's scalp tingle. He had lost count of how many times he had been defeated by Xuanwu, so even the mention of the Seven Sages Summoning had left him with some psychological scars.

"Uh... maybe we should try something else. Calculate my fortune for the future."

After saying that, Xuanwu took out seven cards very familiarly and began to shuffle them.

Just like last time, Yiyin's fingertips randomly touched one of them and then turned it over.

When Xuanwu saw the card, his expression obviously changed.

"(Ice Familiar—Diana. She returned this card to me after Azure Dragon won the championship last time. I didn't expect it to appear here again. Hmm... how should I put it, as the final card of the Seven Sacred Summons, her card doesn't have a very good meaning. The meaning is—)"

“(You will be separated from your beloved ones.)”

"Senior Xuanwu, you can't say such things casually." Yiyin was quite disapproving.

Xuanwu silently put away the cards.

"(Fate is so unpredictable. Whether it's good or bad, we must learn to accept it. Just like my uncle, being possessed by the violent insect was also his fate.)"

When Xuanwu mentioned her home, her mood became a little depressed, but she soon returned to normal.

"(Anyway, Iin, thank you for coming to see me off. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known there were such wonderful places as Dragon Palace and Taras.)"

"After all, Blue Star is very big. If you have time in the future, you can try to travel to every corner of Blue Star."

Hearing this, Xuanwu sighed slightly.

"(Such an opportunity... I'm afraid I won't get it before the Four Gods Base is destroyed.)"

They chatted idly like this and soon arrived at their destination, the Four Gods Base where Yiyin went to study as an exchange student.

.

Since the people have been sent, Yiyin should leave. But Xuanwu refused and insisted that Yiyin go to the Four Gods Base to sit for a while, saying that Baihu and Zhuque missed him.

Yi Yin had no choice but to follow Xuanwu into the Four Gods base.

As they walked, they somehow ended up in the restaurant's kitchen.

Just like when I first arrived, a petite red-haired girl was struggling to brew some unknown liquid.

It's over. It seems Suzaku's cooking has deteriorated to such a point that even Master Angulin's secret deluxe menu can't save it.

"Ah, Xuanwu is back? And Yiyin, what a rare visitor."

Zhuque smiled and personally poured them a large bowl of chicken soup.

Only then did Yiyin notice that Suzaku's two original buns had been tied into a bunch of loose hair at some point, and she also had the hairpin she had bought for her in Audran.

With the previous example of Goering, Yiyin immediately realized that Suzaku had reached the age of marriage.

Oh my god! Could it be that I have been calling someone so much younger than me "senior sister"?

"Suzaku...senpai, you're not just fifteen, are you?"

Yi Yin's expression kept changing. Even if we don't take into account his age in his previous life before he traveled through time, just taking into account his age on Blue Star, he was older than Suzaku.

So, why did he always call her Suzaku-senpai?

"Cough cough."

Zhuque coughed twice in a pretentious manner. "Well, seniority is a really strange thing, isn't it? Speaking of which, Yiyin, I really have to thank you! If you hadn't helped me regain my confidence and found the power of my dreams in Audran, I might still be devastated. So, this bowl of chicken soup is for you!"

After saying that, Suzaku smiled and held up the chicken soup, motioning for Yiyin to drink it all.

Yi Yin was horrified and trembling, he said, "Well... I just remembered that Xing Qiri has something else to talk to me about, so I'll leave first."

Having said that, Yiyin fled from the restaurant kitchen without looking back.

It was at this moment that he happened to bump into someone.

"Brother Yiyin?"

That person was none other than Xing Qiri! He didn't expect that after so many days, he would see his dear roommate again!

"It's so great to see you again. Don't say anything else. Come with me to dinner. It's my treat!"

After saying that, Xing Qiri ignored Yi Yin's objection and dragged him out of the restaurant.

"Don't be like that, I have things to go back to. Can we talk about it next time?"

Yi Yin really didn't want to delay any longer. Who knew if the system would go crazy and assign him a task?

"To be honest, Brother Yiyin, I have something I would like to ask for your help."
