My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 711 - 78: The Three-Year Period Has Arrived

Upon learning of the deer’s identity, Shao’s mother was overjoyed, especially after calling out Beibei, she never stopped talking.

Not wanting to interrupt Shao Zifeng and the others’ conversation, Shao’s mother took the little ones back to the inner room, and along the way, she also snatched up the ever-meddlesome Qiqi, angering the little one who meowed incessantly.

After they left, Shao Zifeng looked at the frail youth and asked, "Old Hu, who is this? You guys didn’t even introduce us."

Hu Shiwu, who was wrestling with chicken feet, uttered a couple of hums and wiped his greasy hands on Xiang Nan’s clothes: "This kid was met by Lei Yan when he went to challenge you. We thought he was brave, and since our department was short-staffed, we decided to take him under our wing as our junior."

The frail youth quickly stood up, his acne-covered face turning bright red: "Duke, it’s an honor to meet you, my name is Mao Feibai, a student from Qujiang University. I... admire you very much."

"Nice to meet you," Shao Zifeng nodded at him and then turned to Xiang Nan with a chuckle, "The two of you have been getting along pretty well these past few years, huh?"

The two glanced at each other and snorted in unison, "Who says I’m on good terms with him?"

Hu Shiwu’s face was full of disdain: "If it weren’t for you, Captain, not being around, I definitely wouldn’t have worked with this deadpan face."

Xiang Nan glanced at him: "Heh."

Shao Zifeng didn’t respond but changed the subject, "So how have the past few years been? Shiwu, have you awakened your ’Divine Gift’?"

At this topic, Hu Shiwu’s eyes lit up, and he animatedly began to talk about everything that had happened over the years.

It turned out that not long after Shao Zifeng left, they went their separate ways. Casar went back to the Pamir Plateau and never returned, and so did Li Yiming, who even vanished without anyone knowing his whereabouts.

Right at that time, the capital city was waiting to be revived, and the construction of the Pioneer Platform was progressing rapidly. They both applied for graduation and came to the capital to develop.

One reason was that there were more opportunities here, and another was they wanted to wait here for Shao Zifeng and the others to return.

Latter on, the two joined the Pioneer Platform, and Xiang Nan was recruited into the Pioneer Headquarters’ patrol team because of his pet beast’s special talent. It was at that time Hu Shiwu slowly started to gain control over that power.

Thus, on Xiang Nan’s strong recommendation, they became part of a special squad within the Pioneer Headquarters’ patrol team. Although Hu Shiwu’s pet beast was not very strong, its ability often played a decisive role in the missions.

It was precisely because of that reason that their strength advanced rapidly. In less than three years, they made it into the top hundred A-rank on the platform.

Lastly, Hu Shiwu said proudly, "If not for my soft heart, forget about making it to A-rank — he might not even have found his teammates."

Knowing Hu Shiwu’s personality, Xiang Nan remained silent, just staring coldly at him with his eyes.

Shao Zifeng pondered for a moment: "Has Li Yiming not contacted you at all over these years?"

Li Yiming, as Shao Zifeng’s first friend, was still someone he cared about, especially now in this era; with Li Yiming’s nature and accompanied by his sister, it was uncertain whether they would encounter any dangers.

There was silence at the dinner table when Xiang Nan hesitantly said, "Captain, before we parted ways, two people found Li Yiming."

Hu Shiwu’s eyes brightened: "Right, right, right, if I remember correctly, it seemed like those two people addressed him as something like Eighth Young Master?"

"Eighth Young Master?"

"Mm..." Hu Shiwu frowned in thought: "Yes, it’s the Eighth Young Master, and those two people were very respectful towards Li Yiming."

"Hey, Captain, do you think Li Yiming might be some noble’s son here to experience life, and once he achieves a certain goal, he’ll return to inherit his family business?"

Hu Shiwu felt increasingly convinced by his own reasoning, and Xiang Nan couldn’t help but retort, "You’re spouting nonsense."

"Who’s spouting nonsense? Isn’t that how it’s written in novels? Something like ’The three-year period has expired, please invite Young Master Eight back home to take charge’." As he said this, Hu Shiwu’s face broke into an idiotic smile, "By that time, with our relationship, wouldn’t we not have to try hard anymore?"

Shao Zifeng was completely confused by this, given his understanding of Li Yiming; the siblings had depended on each other since childhood, and Li Yiming’s personality was quite timid, he didn’t even dare to fight back when bullied.

All of this he had witnessed with his own eyes; even if it was to experience life, it wouldn’t be to such an extent, right?

Unable to figure it out, they simply changed the subject.

A moment later, Hu Shiwu set down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair without any image, patting his belly, "The Captain is back, I got to eat hometown food, I am totally satisfied today. Haven’t been this happy in years, right, Old Xiang?"

Xiang Nan put down his chopsticks and silently nodded.

As powerful as the Inspection Team seemed, it was a job that made enemies, so the two of them didn’t have many friends in the capital, and always had to guard against others’ schemes.

Now that Shao Zifeng had returned, it was as if they had found their backbone.

Hu Shiwu’s face showed a silly grin, "With the Captain here, I’d like to see who dares to bad-mouth us behind our backs."

As he said this, he straightened up and patted Mao Feibai, speaking earnestly, "Mao Mao, you’re lucky, joining us just as the Captain is looking out for you. You don’t know how hard we’ve struggled these past years. It’s a history filled with blood and tears..."

Mao Feibai nodded solemnly, seemingly listening very intently. freёwebnoѵel.com

Seeing Hu Shiwu’s tall tales, Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but interrupt, "Don’t you guys have work today?"

"Huh?" Hu Shiwu waved his hand dismissively and slouched back in his chair like a salted fish, "If it were any other day, we’d definitely have to go to work, but it’s because you, Duke, have come back."

"Good fellow, you just wiped out S03, and now those guys have calmed down. I bet, with you around, we could live leisurely every day, sipping tea and reading newspapers."

Shao Zifeng glared at him, "You’re the one who talks too much. Since there’s nothing pressing, come with me to Pioneer Headquarters."

At those words, Hu Shiwu perked up, eyes shining as he looked at Shao Zifeng, "Captain, has the three-year period come to an end? I love watching you show off and slap faces."

"You blockhead, what nonsense is swirling around in your head?" Shao Zifeng shook his head helplessly, "Just before dinner, I got a job offer to shoot some new promotional PV for ’Pet Beast Chronicles’."

"So it’s that..." Hu Shiwu responded like a dream-deflated salted fish. With a lazy hand, he patted Mao Feibai on the shoulder, "Ask him, he knows this stuff."

Shao Zifeng looked towards Mao Feibai, only to see the latter ecstatic, eyes burning with passion as he looked at him, "Duke, are you getting a new pet beast? Whatever pet beast you have, I’m definitely going to go all out!"

"Cough... I don’t know about that," Shao Zifeng said, feeling a bit uncomfortable under the guy’s strange gaze.

"Pff, dream on," said Hu Shiwu languidly, "Did you even manage to get the Starlight Queen?"

At that, Mao Feibai’s momentum faltered, "That one’s just too hard to get..."
