Chapter 145 There is Homework

His Adam's apple rolled slightly and he coughed subconsciously. The cough seemed particularly abrupt in the silent air, as if it was an instinctive reaction for him to try to hide the turmoil in his heart.

He raised his head slightly, and his originally flustered eyes refocused after a brief adjustment, and his eyes tried to regain their usual calmness and composure.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down completely, and then began to talk about other things. His deliberately focused expression seemed to have built a solid wall between him and the embarrassment and tension he had just felt, trying to bury it completely and not let anyone notice the slightest flaw.

"By the way, besides the orcs, there are two other species living on this continent with us: the evil beasts and the demon beasts."

Qi'an deliberately lowered his voice, making it deep and serious, trying to use this serious atmosphere to divert Xia Yueke's attention so that she would no longer be entangled in the saint's family problems.

"Evil beasts will harm orcs. They are ferocious by nature and feed on orcs. Their sharp fangs and ferocious faces are terrifying just to think about. So if you encounter an evil beast, run away quickly!"

"Furthermore, the evil beasts are incredibly voracious eaters. Their appetite is simply beyond imagination. If they could, they could even devour an entire tribe! Their massive bodies would rampage through the tribe, leaving devastation wherever they went. Blood and screams would instantly fill the entire space."

Xia Yueke originally had her lips pouted slightly, with dissatisfaction written all over her face. She was upset that Qi'an deliberately didn't tell her about the Saint.

However, when Qi'an mentioned Qingyan's original form, the evil beast, a hint of interest involuntarily flashed in her bright eyes.

"Are there good evil beasts? In other words, ones that don't eat people. If I encounter a good evil beast, should I still run away?"

Qi'an seemed to have never thought about this question before. He was stunned by Xia Yueke's question. After a while, he said:

"All evil beasts are like that. Don't take any chances!"

Xia Yueke curled her lips, "Bullshit, Qingyan is not like that!"

The voice was too quiet, and Qi An didn't hear clearly what Xia Yueke was muttering. But he knew it wasn't anything nice, so he just pretended not to hear it.

"In terms of appearance, Warcrafts vary greatly in size. Some are as small as rabbits, with tight fur that has a strange sheen. For example, the Glimmer Rat Warcraft has blue fur that looks like flowing moonlight, eyes like stars, short and agile legs, and a long tail."

"A medium-sized wolf or boar-like beast, with firm muscles and a scaly shell. It's a thorny lizard monster."

"Large as a mountain, with tentacles like a deep-sea beast, or wings so large they can whip up fierce winds. Storm dragons, with metallic scales gleaming coldly, wings blotting out the sun, spitting lightning hurricanes from their mouths, and eyes like whirlpools that can cause dizziness."

Xia Yueke was already confused by what she heard. She didn't expect these monsters to be so powerful. It seemed that it was not easy to get their beast cores.

"The levels of Warcraft are very simple. It's all about looking at their cores. They're red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The higher the level, the harder it is to hunt them!"

Qi'an finally got to the point, and Xia Yuke immediately nodded to show that he understood.

Qi An tilted his head slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and asked again: "Do you understand all these things?"

There was a hint of worry in his tone, as if he was afraid that Xia Yue would just nod perfunctorily.

Xia Yueke nodded firmly again, her eyes full of confidence and seriousness.

Qi'an's face, as cold as frost and snow, seemed to be gently brushed by a spring breeze at this moment. The cold lines softened a little, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile that was rare, gentle and relieved.

He opened his lips slightly, his voice clear but not without patience, "Okay, now let's start learning the language and write 'one' with me.

Xia Yueke sighed inwardly. She had already mastered these basic things by heart, and now she just felt extremely bored.

She lowered her eyes slightly, trying not to let her impatience show in her eyes, but she still had to pretend to be ignorant and curious on her face.

Her fingers seemed to be clumsily following Qi'an's demonstration as she gestured in the air, and she would glance at Qi'an from time to time, afraid that he would notice her perfunctory attitude.

I was silently thinking in my mind that if I was found out that I knew everything, I would definitely be punished by copying the beast rules. That would be terrible. I might as well pretend like this for now, hoping that this boring process would be over soon.

When it came to the writing stage, Qi'an's eyes were fixed on the pen in Xia Yueke's hand, watching the crooked and difficult handwriting "crawl" on the paper.

His two handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and a hint of doubt and thought flashed in his deep eyes. He fell into a brief contemplation.

"Xia Yueke, aren't you extremely intelligent in other things? Why is your handwriting so appalling?"

Qi'an's voice, with a hint of confusion and slight reproach, broke the silence around them.

Xia Yueke secretly groaned in her heart, but her face still maintained an innocent and slightly shy expression, and she kept complaining in her heart:

I wrote it like this on purpose so that you won’t notice that I actually know it all!

After Qi An meticulously taught how to write numbers from one to ten, he slowly raised his head and looked through the window at the horizon.

I saw the red sun hanging high in the sky, still some distance away from the top of the western mountain. The afterglow fell on the earth, giving everything in the world a golden coating.

He paused for a moment before speaking:

"Alright, that's enough for today. Go home and copy these ten times! Make sure you write them carefully and show them to me by this time tomorrow!"

There was an unquestionable tone in his words, and his eyes revealed his expectations and strict demands for Xia Yueke.

When Xia Yuke heard Qi'an asking her to copy what she had learned ten times, her heart skipped a beat.

She groaned inwardly, her eyes slightly widened, her eyes full of reluctance:

"Ten times? That's too much! It's just for show, why do you have to endure this?"

The image of myself working late into the night, writing furiously, emerged in my mind. The leisure time that I had originally intended to use to explore this new world of beasts was now occupied by this heavy task.

But when she thought about how refusing or showing dissatisfaction might lead to more suspicion and harsher punishment from Qi'an, and perhaps even requiring him to copy the beastly rules, she could only swallow the complaint that was on the tip of her tongue and silently comfort herself:

"Forget it, just treat it as a way to kill time. It's better than being exposed."

Xia Yueke listlessly began to pack up her few stationery items.

Her slender fingers slowly picked up a few pieces of slightly rough animal skin paper, which still exuded a faint animal scent. Then she arranged several animal hair brushes one by one, her movements slow and with a hint of unwillingness.
