Putting aside the fact that the Black Egg Beast is so easy to raise and only eats cheap food, Cheng Huaijin still found Song Siyun's recent behavior too suspicious.
She sent a message to Teacher Hu explaining the situation, and then chased after Song Siyun in the direction she had left.
"Song Siyun! Wait for me!" Cheng Huaijin called out to Song Siyun.
The black egg beast jumped directly onto Song Siyun's head.
"Ouch!" The two people whose heads were stepped on by the black egg beast cried out at the same time.
"Black Egg!!" Cheng Huaijin was so startled that he quickly ran over and took the Black Egg Beast off Song Siyun's head. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I spoiled the Black Egg Beast. Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Song Siyun: "...No need, I'm a beast tamer too, this little collision is nothing."
"I'm so sorry, Black Egg Beast was so reckless. It was only trying to stop you for me that it acted so impulsively." Cheng Huaijin felt very embarrassed. Black Egg Beast had already stepped on him, and now it was getting even more audacious, actually jumping on other people's heads!
"Hehe." The black egg beast opened its innocent eyes, indicating that it mainly wanted to help the stupid beast tamer.
"You call me stupid? You... never mind, I'll talk to you when we get home." Cheng Huaijin flicked the black egg beast's eggshell and said to Song Siyun, "You're going the wrong way. Your home is over there."
Cheng Huaijin asked, "What exactly happened?"
Song Siyun bit her lip, her expression no longer as calm as before. She said with trembling lips, "It's nothing, it's just that the Flower Shadow Beast has a small problem. I, I can handle it."
Since Song Siyun insisted, Cheng Huaijin decided not to interfere any further: "Alright, you can contact me anytime if you need anything. I've already spoken to Teacher Hu, and he'll forward any issues to you as well. Don't worry, go ahead and do your work."
Song Siyun, her face pale, said, "Thank you."
Watching Song Siyun's departing figure, Cheng Huaijin felt uneasy for some reason.
The black crystal suddenly lit up.
Dragon egg!
Cheng Huaijin focused his consciousness into the mark on his wrist and was surprised to find that the dragon egg was actually absorbing some of the residual energy in the air.
This energy...
"Hehe," the black egg beast said seriously.
It turned out to be the residual energy from Song Siyun's body... Cheng Huaijin sighed. It seemed he had no choice but to go along.
Deep within the No. 10 commercial street, opposite the Kindness Bookstore.
Cheng Huaijin had been hiding in this blind spot for over an hour.
If it weren't for Song Siyun, Cheng Huaijin would have seriously doubted how there could be any shops operating in such a desolate place.
The dragon egg kept trying to absorb this unknown energy. Fearing something might happen, Cheng Huaijin stuck the black crystal on the mark on his wrist and pressed the dragon egg down firmly.
This place is so strange.
Cheng Huaijin waited patiently, hoping to discover something.
Suddenly, Song Siyun appeared at the entrance of the Kindness Bookstore, shouting excitedly, "You told me everything would be alright! How could this have happened!"
A somewhat familiar voice rang out: "That's your own problem, Song Siyun. You can no longer control the Flower Shadow Beast."
Song Siyun sneered: "Stop talking nonsense! I've made a contract with the cauliflower beast, how could I not be able to suppress it!"
Cheng Huaijin unconsciously leaned forward, wondering why the two of them were talking about something so strange.
The male voice continued, "You contracted a cauliflower beast, not a flower shadow beast..."
What are you saying? I can't hear you. Cheng Huaijin leaned forward cautiously, but still couldn't hear clearly.
Forget it, it looks too dangerous, let's go quickly.
Cheng Huaijin squatted there for a while, and after confirming that there was no sound nearby, she quietly got up to leave. However, contrary to her wishes, she found that she couldn't get out.
I'm stuck in a maze... This familiar feeling... Could there be a super-powered pet nearby?
Cheng Huaijin turned on her communicator, only to find that the network was down and she couldn't send any messages. She had no choice but to find another place to hide, where she remained until midnight, when she saw Song Siyun hurriedly leave.
Cheng Huaijin followed quietly and finally managed to leave safely!
Cheng Huaijin: You scared me half to death!
Not long after I walked away, my communicator started vibrating wildly, with messages instantly reaching 99+.
Cheng Huaijin replied to each message one by one, his finger hovering over the latest message he had received.
[Song Siyun: My matter is resolved. Is there anything wrong with Teacher Hu?]
Cheng Huaijin stared intently at the message for a while before replying: "It's just asking us to fill out a form, nothing else."
Song Siyun's recent unusual behavior must be related to that Kindness Bookstore. Cheng Huaijin must have seen the person who argued with Song Siyun in the bookstore.
The Kindness Bookstore contains energy that the dragon egg wants to absorb. This energy is different from any energy that Cheng Huaijin has ever felt before, and even the Black Egg Beast doesn't know what it is.
"Hehe." The black egg beast felt that the energy was very powerful and could easily excite people.
Thankfully, the dragon egg was stopped from absorbing more energy in time, otherwise it might have hatched into a violent dragon... and that would have been disastrous!
Considering that the Cauliflower Beast evolved into the Flower Shadow Beast in such a short time, coupled with Song Siyun's recent unusual behavior, it's not hard to deduce the reason for the Flower Shadow Beast's irritable behavior—
Song Siyun allowed the Cauliflower Beast to absorb this energy and evolve.
But what exactly was this energy? Cheng Huaijin didn't know. She also had no evidence to prove that Song Siyun had allowed the Flower Shadow Beast to absorb any violent energy, and besides, there were too many things in the Beast Taming World that Cheng Huaijin simply didn't understand.
...Let's forget about reporting it. Cheng Huaijin sighed.
"Looks like we're in for a tough fight tomorrow." Cheng Huaijin patted the black egg beast. "The flower shadow beast looks really strange. Be careful tomorrow. If things get too bad, we'll just surrender. As long as we're alive, we can always fight again, okay?"
