Global Awakening: Eavesdropping on the SSS-level School Beauty's Inner Voice-Chapter 157 - 155: Bumping into Meng Xiyue at a Guardian Beast Store! Just Who is the Unlucky One?

Chapter 157: Chapter 155: Bumping into Meng Xiyue at a Guardian Beast Store! Just Who is the Unlucky One?

"Tianming..."

Facing Lin Tianming’s firm gaze, which suggested he wanted to guard the future with her, Wang Yanran was emotionally stirred.

[With Tianming’s Talent, if he becomes Undead in the future, perhaps he really could help me protect everything we want to protect...]

[To be with this cheeky rascal... That wouldn’t be too bad, would it?]

[He is so determined to protect the people I want to protect... Then I can’t let him just die a tragic death in a year! I must find a way to prevent the same fate as his last life and help him survive this deadly crisis!]

[As long as he doesn’t die, there is definitely hope for the future!]

Lin Tianming, having heard Wang Yanran directly call him "Tianming" and leaving out "Junior Brother," knew that his sincerity had touched her.

To lighten the mood, Lin Tianming started teasing Wang Yanran.

"Senior Sister Yanran, now that you call me Tianming, can I call you Yanran? I remember back at the Imperial Academy, we used to hug and even kiss..."

However, before Lin Tianming could finish speaking, a blushing and heart-fluttering Wang Yanran interrupted him.

"No... Don’t talk nonsense! I’m your Senior Sister, Tianming Junior Brother... And you promised me, that matter must be kept a secret!"

[This brazen guy! I was just starting to see him in a good light... and now... now he’s bullying me again!]

[He wouldn’t really think that he’s become my boyfriend, Wang Yanran, would he?]

[As the young miss of the Wang Family and the future destined Phoenix Flame Goddess, how could I possibly have feelings for him, a scumbag with past sins?]

Even now, Wang Yanran’s inner voice was straining to deny what she herself was afraid to admit.

Hearing her words and inner voice, Lin Tianming held back laughter in his heart.

Having finally resolved Wang Yanran’s hostility towards Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming tactfully retracted his teasing: "I’m just joking, hehe, Senior Sister Yanran, I’ve always respected you!"

"That’s for the best!"

[Respect my foot! As if I would believe your lies!]

[Before we faced the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider together, how many times did you take liberties with me? When I asked you to let go, you hugged me even tighter!]

[If it weren’t for the fact that you saved my life, I... I... would definitely not have let you off!]

Wang Yanran’s inner voice made Lin Tianming feel unjustly accused.

The previous times he had hugged her, wasn’t it her who threw herself into his arms, trying to lure him into the woods to stab him in revenge?

Even when he avoided her, she stalked him and found him, what was wrong with taking a little interest?

She even said that it was all in the past, that she no longer harbored any ill will towards him, and he hadn’t done anything excessive to her!

But, Lin Tianming didn’t say any of this out loud, to avoid revealing his ability to listen to inner voices.

He timely shifted the topic: "Now that we’ve clarified Huang Yiyi’s matter, let’s go and talk to Senior Hua about it too. It would be good to clear up this matter!"

Talking about serious matters, even Wang Yanran’s slightly red pretty face became solemn: "Mhm, let’s go inside!"

Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran returned to Hua Yufei’s grand villa house and discussed what they had just talked about.

Thus, keeping the secret of the Deceptive God Girl, Huang Yiyi, became a mutual agreement between Lin Tianming, Hua Yufei, and Wang Yanran.

The crisis was averted, and Lin Tianming, with his worries dispelled, returned to his usual self.

Regrettably, worried about him, Jiang Han gave him an off day earlier than scheduled, preventing him from practicing.

It was a good day for rest, and Lin Tianming accompanied Huang Yiyi all day long to ensure that she would continue to stay safely at Hua Yufei’s, without harboring any ideas of running away.

...

Days had passed since the issue with Wang Yanran was dealt with, and Lin Tianming continued his special training routine, having lunch as usual with his girlfriend Ye Qingxue.

After lunch, Lin Tianming left the Imperial Academy on his own to visit a Guardian Beast Store several streets away from the east gate.

"Little guy, come on out. Today I’m taking you to the Guardian Beast Store for a look. We’ll buy you some snacks and toys, anything you want!"

At Lin Tianming’s call, the Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby emerged from the Water attribute Guardian Beast Seal on the palm of his right hand.

Although the Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby had grown a lot since it started following Lin Tianming, it was still a little one.

Lin Tianming pointed to his shoulder, and the Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby obediently jumped up and sat there.

"Found it, this is the place!"

Finding the Guardian Beast Store they intended to visit today, Lin Tianming glanced at the empty storefront with nothing appealing and walked in without hesitation.

Inside the Guardian Beast Store, there were various tools for Guardian Beast Masters to train Awakened Beasts, as well as many Awakened Beasts of different attributes.

Whether you want to buy toys and food for an Awakened Beast or purchase one yourself, you can find satisfaction here.

However, to buy an Awakened Beast here, you need to show the Guardian Beast Seal on your palm, proving you are a Guardian Beast Master.

If you’re not a Guardian Beast Master but still want to buy an Awakened Beast, you’ll need to produce additional relevant proof.

Training tools for Awakened Beasts are unrestricted and can be purchased freely.

Although this Guardian Beast Store is not exceptionally large, it’s not small either, and it’s enough for Lin Tianming to browse for a while.

He had no interest in other Awakened Beasts and went straight to the toy and snack area for Guardian Beasts as per the directions within the store.

The Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby was dazzled by the myriad of toys and snacks, wanting everything it saw.

Lin Tianming also reminded the little one, "This is someone else’s store, so don’t cause any trouble, little one."

After being reminded by Lin Tianming like this, the Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby, on its first visit, became well-behaved immediately.

Seeing that the Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby was quite obedient, Lin Tianming also consulted the little one when picking toys and snacks for Guardian Beasts, seeing what it liked.

After browsing for about ten minutes, Lin Tianming finally carried the items he had bought for the Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby to the counter.

Upon reaching the counter, he noticed many people gathered around it, seemingly intrigued by something interesting.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he joined the crowd, noticing ten sealed big boxes on the counter.

Seeing Lin Tianming arrive, the clerk at the front instantly showed a surprised and pleased expression.

"Young man, you’re the one! With a Blue Crystal Water Tiger Baby on your shoulder, you must be an Awakener with the superpower of a Guardian Beast Master! Plus, with you, we have ten people, perfect to play the Blind Box Game!"

Lin Tianming frowned and said, "Blind box?"

"Exactly, today our store is having a promotion. These ten sealed boxes all contain hidden items, including Awakened Beasts and various Guardian Beast Tools, 1100 per attempt. Come and try your luck! Maybe you’ll get a high-quality Awakened Beast!"

As the clerk explained the blind box activity to Lin Tianming, a girl who felt his voice was very familiar turned around.

Upon seeing Lin Tianming’s face, that girl’s complexion immediately soured.

"Why is it you!"

[Why am I so unlucky, running into Lin Tianming in a Guardian Beast Store!]

Hearing her thoughts, Lin Tianming turned towards the girl.

The next moment, he also exclaimed in surprise, calling out the girl’s name.

"Meng Xiyue!"
