Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "Your blessing is yet to come!"...

When Chen Ming hurried to the principal's office according to the location sent by Jiang Qing, the scene in front of her made her very puzzled.

On the way here, she was already prepared for Jiang Qing to get into trouble again.

But the scene before her was a little different from what she had imagined.

There are five Beast Taming Academies in their Yuncang Continent, and the principal in front of them is the youngest and the only female leader.

Speaking of the principal Ji Changsu, she was also an epoch-making figure when she was young.

At that time, there were only four Beast Taming Academies on the Yuncang Continent, and all teaching concepts continued to use the traditional framework and acted in a rigid manner. It was she who created the fifth teaching system based on the existing Beast Taming and successfully founded the Fifth Beast Taming Academy.

Ji Changsu is extremely talented, with a spirit value reaching a rare 100 points. Now he has already entered the highest level of Heavenly Beast Tamer, becoming the one who can truly stand at the top and look down on his peers.

Moreover, this principal has a very sharp eye for people and has strict requirements for teaching. Now the teaching tasks and goals of the college are set by her personally.

Chen Ming didn't know what Jiang Qing had done wrong, why he was brought directly to the principal.

She frowned and looked at the scene inside.

The office was unusually spacious, with bright but not glaring light. A huge floor-to-ceiling window took up an entire wall, and outside the window was the academy's iconic spire building and the faintly visible figures of spirit beasts on the training ground in the distance.

Sunlight pours in through the clean glass, casting clear light and shadows on the dark grey floor. There are no complicated curtains by the windows, only simple metal blinds, the angle of which is precisely adjusted to just filter out excess glare.

Jiang Qing was standing in front of the principal's desk with his back to her. Next to her was a woman in a green gardener's outfit. All three of them focused their attention on the desk. From a distance, it was a bit surprising... harmonious?

A "?" slowly appeared in Chen Ming's mind, and he was a little confused about the current situation.

The principal was the first to notice the movement at the door. She raised her head and was shocked to find that the person coming was Chen Ming. Her eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

"You received the news so quickly?" Ji Changsu's voice was cold and metallic. She glanced at Jiang Qing and then back at Chen Ming. "I didn't even have time to notify you to come."

She was wearing a retro military-style outfit today, a dark grey striped top, paired with brown-green overalls. It was clearly a capable and oppressive outfit, but her looks and temperament were rather flamboyant and ruffian, which perfectly neutralized the oppressive feeling brought by the powerful aura.

"What do you want from me?" Chen Ming asked the principal naturally, and during that time he glared at Jiang Qing. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: What are you doing again?

"The star-patterned orchids you raised in Hepu are gone." Ji Changsu said, her tone light and airy, as if she was talking about some random flowers and weeds.

She noticed the eye contact between Chen Ming and Jiang Qing from the corner of her eye and raised her eyebrows imperceptibly.

It seems that we know each other.

"Teacher Chen, the professor the gardener was talking about is you?" Jiang Qing grinned, with a look of sudden realization.

Chen Ming didn't want to pay attention to her. She turned to look at the gardener, asking with her eyes what was going on.

The gardener quickly waved his hand to dispel the issue: "Professor Chen, it's none of my business. I was away for a while, and this student and her spirit pet ate all the star-patterned orchids you planted in the garden."

"Eat it all?" Chen Ming's voice was filled with disbelief, his eyes fixed on Zhu Tianba, as if he wanted to penetrate its seemingly harmless fur and see clearly what was happening inside its body.

"Hmm." Ji Changsu hummed softly, supporting his chin with one hand, and looked at the sleeping Zhu Tianba with interest. "You cultivated the Star Pattern Orchid specifically to use as a breakthrough material for the immortal beast. Now it has all been accidentally eaten by this classmate's spirit pet. What do you plan to do with it?"

Chen Ming raised his eyes and met Ji Changsu's gaze. The mockery in the other's eyes was not concealed at all.

Jiang Qing sniffed, then stepped aside obediently, looking as if he didn't dare to speak.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and calmed down. She stretched out her hand, with an extremely faint probing light lingering on her fingertips. She carefully hovered above Zhu Tianba without making direct contact.

Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and her eyes gradually changed from the initial surprise to a pure, almost fanatical desire for exploration.

"The energy contained in the Star Pattern Orchid is violent and pure. Even if it is an adult immortal spirit beast, even just one plant, if it is eaten without being processed, there is a risk of going astray. It is actually just... asleep?" Chen Ming became more and more excited as he watched, and his eyes were almost shining with stars.

Chen Ming: "Although the energy fluctuations within its body are chaotic, they are strangely stabilizing and even...slowly growing?"

Jiang Qing silently looked at the two people in the room.

From the first words the principal said to her, she knew that nothing would happen to her today.

The principal looked at her for a long time with his chin propped up, and the first thing he said was, "Interesting."

Is it interesting?

This sentence represents many meanings, but it does not mean to hold someone accountable.

Ji Changsu also put away his leisurely attitude of watching a show at this time, leaned forward slightly, and his seemingly careless eyes were now as sharp as an eagle, also falling on Zhu Tianba.

Her mental power spread out invisibly, bringing an invisible pressure that spread throughout the office. The three people enveloped by this mental power felt as if even the air seemed to be heavier.

Just when a few people felt uncomfortable, the force suddenly withdrew and the atmosphere in the office returned to normal.

Ji Changsu was not only testing Zhu Tianba, but also sensing Jiang Qing, a "bad student" who was mediocre before the beast taming assessment and could not even find any outstanding features, but whose spirit value skyrocketed in a short period of time.

Apparently she was as much a heretic as the pig.

I just don't know whether this classmate contracted the pig because his mental power increased, or whether his mental power increased because of the pig.

"Professor Chen, it seems that your Star Pattern Orchid will be used as a wedding dress for this little thing." Ji Changsu's voice was still cold, but the interest contained in it was stronger.

Chen Ming did not answer, her entire attention was on Zhu Batian.

The gardener listened carefully for a long time, vaguely drawing a conclusion from the two college leaders. Scratching her head, she asked, bewildered, "President, Professor Chen, what do you mean? No need to pursue accountability?"

"The school doesn't lack the money from the Star Orchid," Ji Changsu said. "I think Professor Chen Ming should be more interested in something else right now."

Although the Star-patterned Orchid is precious, what is even more valuable is the pig-like spirit pet in front of you, whose grade and attributes are unknown.

Chen Ming's enthusiasm for this pig was almost bursting out of her eyes. She now urgently wanted to study the changes in Zhu Tianba's body.

"I'm glad you're okay." The gardener patted her chest, finally letting go of the worry in her heart. It would be better if she didn't have to pay compensation, otherwise if the matter was investigated further, she might be implicated.

Ji Changsu and Chen Ming were both immersed in observing Zhu Tianba at this moment.

The gardener came up to Jiang Qing, who had remained calm throughout, and said meaningfully, "Classmate, you're actually related to someone, right?"

Such a big thing happened, but the principal just let it go lightly. If he wasn't someone with powerful connections, could it really be because of that pig?

Not to mention that it looks ordinary, what's more, it is just a spiritual beast that was born not long ago. How powerful can it be?

None of the Earth-level Beast Tamers in the academy have this treatment.

Jiang Qing: ""

She looked back at the gardener, very curious about where she came to this conclusion.

Jiang Qing opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.

All of these were rejected by the gardener with a look of "I understand".

Jiang Qing: “…” I can’t explain it clearly.

......

Jiang Qing finally followed Chen Ming back to the Beast Taming Laboratory. She took Zhu Tianba away, left Jiang Qing in the office, and plunged into the research experiment with Zhu Tianba.

"You again!" Director Bird flew to her shoulder and pecked the hair beside her ear.

"Hello, Director Bird." Jiang Qing greeted it skillfully and walked to Chen Ming's seat and sat down.

"Hi, Jiang Qing, you're here again." The male teacher who chatted with Jiang Qing that day was also here today.

Jiang Qing glanced at the name on his desk.

Zhou Qi, assistant to Teacher Chen Ming.

She greeted him listlessly, "Teacher Xiao Zhou, hello to you too."

"Why are you so listless today? What happened again?" Zhou Qi keenly sensed some gossip.

He looked like a completely different person at work. The person Zhou Qi followed was a serious research fanatic. Apart from this bird, there was no fun in his daily life.

Jiang Qing finally came. Even though she looks stupid and doesn't like to study, she is interesting.

Since she appeared, the atmosphere in the entire Beast Taming Research Office has become much more lively.

"Zhu Tianba ate all the star-patterned orchids planted by Teacher Chen Ming." Jiang Qing found a comfortable position, slumped down in the office chair, and answered Zhou Qi's words a little nonchalantly.

"What!" Zhou Qi sat up straight in shock, his eyes and words filled with shock, "You ate all that?"

"Not... a lot." Jiang Qing touched his face and said humbly.

She took a quick look and saw that there were only about ten plants in total.

"Isn't twelve too many?" Zhou Qi slapped his forehead. "Why didn't it die of the stuffing... Wait, it's okay? It's not dead?"

Jiang Qing nodded.

Zhou Qi finally understood why the teacher looked like that just now. Any researcher would have had that expression.

"Student Jiang Qing, are you sure you contracted that pig by accident?" Zhou Qi looked at Jiang Qing suspiciously. He felt that she was not telling the truth.

Jiang Qing nodded. Isn’t it just an “accidental” contract?

"What a great opportunity! What a great opportunity!" Zhou Qi's face was filled with shock, joy, and even envy. "You've eaten so many Star Pattern Orchids and you're still alive. Jiang Qing, just sit back and wait for your promotion."

Zhou Qi said: "If you take good care of this pig, your fortune will be in the future."
