Beast Taming: the More the Better - Chapter 897 - 381: To the Imperial Capital! The Whereabouts of Meng Huangliang!

The white clouds drifted lazily past outside the window.

Su Ping squinted his eyes with a smile as he looked at the three young ladies in front of him.

Qin Xiaoxue was practically no longer bothering to hide the vicious glare she was giving Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu, who had just entered the cabin and were looking around.

The two of them clearly didn’t pay any attention to their bestie’s gaze, but instead acted like Granny Liu walking into a luxury apartment.

They really swept the place from top to bottom, everywhere except the cockpit:

“Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, look look, there’s even a fridge here, turns out you really can drink Cola on board!”

“Yeah yeah, it’s even more luxurious in here than our dorm. Xiao Xiao, look here, there’s even a dedicated Meditation Room, you can burn resources to increase energy density in it!”

The two of them were bouncing up and down, not quieting down for even a moment.

However, what Qin Xiaoxue didn’t expect was that Su Ping also showed a surprised expression.

“So it still has this function?”

Qin Xiaoxue almost choked on her drink as her breath caught:

“You didn’t know either?”

Su Ping followed behind Ling Xiaoxiao and the other girl, nodding as he looked at this mechanical Meditation Room.

“This is my first time on a long-distance run too. When I came here before, I never had time to take a proper look. This really is the first time.”

“Wow! Such a big lounge, and such a big bed!”

The group walked into the lounge. Lu Xiaolu exclaimed dramatically, then turned her head to look at Su Ping:

“Well? Breeder Su, aren’t you lucky that Xiao Xiao and I came along? Otherwise, you’d be in danger! Who knows what Xiao Xue might do to you!”

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded along.

Su Ping blinked, momentarily not quite following.

Qin Xiaoxue’s eyes went round, her face instantly flushing with anger:

“Lu Xiaolu! You looking to die?!”

Qin Xiaoxue strode forward and grabbed the pleading Lu Xiaolu in one swoop!

Su Ping was a bit helpless too, but just then, the phone in his pocket chimed.

He took it out and glanced at it, and the smile on his lips slowly faded.

The person who messaged him was someone rather special.

Not anyone else, but that Intermediate Breeder from Wolf Garden in Jianghai, Sun Chaoju, who had once had a small dispute with Su Ping but was actually the source of the Wanmu Wolf.

Ever since they came back from the Breeder Association, he’d had very little contact with Sun Chaoju.

Su Ping’s improvement had been very rapid; many people around him really found it hard to keep up.

And this time, the message Sun Chaoju sent was very simple:

[Mu Hang has been buried.]

Su Ping pressed his lips together.

He didn’t know what to say.

As for Mu Hang, he couldn’t really say they were that familiar; it was just that Sun Chaoju and he had been longtime friends.

From the few interactions they’d had, Su Ping had a pretty good impression of this gentle Shadow Wolf Breeder.

His father had genuinely almost cost Su Ping his life the first time; that was the closest Su Ping had ever come to Death.

But Su Ping knew that Mu Hang had nothing to do with Mu Yu; even though they were father and son, there wasn’t much father-son bond there.

A man who could let go of everything, abandon his wife and child, even betray his country and go across the Ocean.

He really didn’t have much to do with Mu Hang anymore, did he?

But Mu Hang was different.

At least from what he heard from Sun Chaoju and from his own interactions, he had never seen that side of Mu Hang.

Because of that incident, Su Ping instead deepened his understanding of Mu Hang, and came to quite approve of this rather different Breeder.

And now, he never would have thought that Mu Yu could actually abandon his own son, just to let his teacher descend once.

But still, like he’d said, Mu Yu is Mu Yu, Mu Hang is Mu Hang.

You could even say that Mu Hang counted as someone who died because of him.

He wasn’t so far gone as to blame himself for it.

But he still felt it was a pity, and at the same time, as his own status climbed, he felt some anxiety that random entanglements could lead to some decent people around him dying because of it.

Strength.

Besides identity and status, the most important thing was still his own power to protect.

Right now it was Mu Hang and that was that, but what about later?

Su Ping didn’t know, so these past two days he had never meditated so hard before. Plus the partial torment from keeping that Celestial Tomb Mark activated at all times, his spiritual power had already improved somewhat over these two days.

He’d always had extremely high Talent when it came to meditation.

Back in No. 6 High, he’d risen to first place in the whole school in a short Time, and that was without even meditating all that diligently.

So Mu Hang’s Death held a very special meaning for Su Ping.

Now, hearing news of Mu Hang again from Sun Chaoju, Su Ping could only reply in silence:

“My condolences. Did he have any family?”

“All alone.”

“…”

Qin Xiaoxue, who had been horsing around, saw that Su Ping’s expression looked off, quickly let go of Lu Xiaolu, and came to his side:

“Su Ping, what’s wrong? Oh right, you still haven’t told me what exactly happened back then.”

Su Ping shook his head.

“Nothing much, just that foreigner came over to provoke us. Later, the Legend of the Holy Dragon descended and took him away, that’s all.

Anyway, don’t go talking about this outside.”

Seeing the three of them staring at him with curious faces, Su Ping didn’t spell out too much.

Qin Xiaoxue nodded, and the three girls all kept quiet.

The atmosphere grew a bit heavy because of that, but just then, a ringtone sounded as well. Su Ping glanced at it and was slightly stunned. It wasn’t Sun Chaoju, who had just texted him, but Master Zhu Hong.
