Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

Li Ruoying's willowy eyebrows were tightly knitted on her forehead.

"Although it's very faint, I can still smell it." She slowly bent down and whispered into Shen Fei's ear. "You have a disgusting smell on you. It's so disgusting that I want to vomit just by smelling it.

She lowered her eyes uneasily, biting her lower lip in thought.

"This pungent smell... means that you may encounter a lot of terrible things in the next few days. My suggestion is not to go to places you've been to, and it's best not to go to the coast."

After saying this, Li Ruoying climbed up from Shen Fei's body without any hesitation. She lifted the tent flap and walked out.

'Wait a minute?'

Staring at the opened tent door, Shen Fei frowned in confusion. Li Ruoying had done so much just to tell him... He had body odor?

Shen Fei turned his head to his shoulder and took a deep breath. He sat up and subconsciously frowned.

'...I really do smell.'

However, it did not smell like sweat. Instead, it smelled like fermented garbage.

'This smell is a little familiar... It might've gotten stuck when I was fighting Lear, right?'

Shen Fei sighed as he ran his hand over his face and picked up a towel nearby. He had to hurry to the bathtub and wash off the disgusting smell on his body.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei left the tent and quickly walked to the bathing area.

...

"Phew, it's finally washed off."

Shen Fei had a towel wrapped around him. He wore a simple bathrobe and leaned against the outdoor bath. He let out a long sigh of relief. He should no longer smell like garbage at this point.

"Good evening, Shen Fei. You're here as well?"

Qian Yu, whose body was wrapped in bandages and had a towel draped over him, held the edge of the bathing pool and sat carefully across from Shen Fei.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep so late, so I came here to take a cold shower and relax."

"Tonight is the night of the Blood Moon, and it just so happens to be when the exotic beasts are most active. For us outsiders, it's really not easy to fall asleep.

Qian Yu gently smiled. He took out a bottle of wine from his storage ring and handed it to Shen Fei.

"Drink this. You'll feel sleepy after drinking it. These are the supplies they gave me. I heard that even though it's not a good brand, it's still the best. Do you want some?"

"No, I don't like wine." Shen Fei reached out and gently pushed away the bottle of wine that the other person offered.

This was the Norden Red Wine that his cheapskate father used to drink the most. Just by smelling that nauseating smell, Shen Fei's throat subconsciously felt sour.

"Then I'll drink it myself." Qian Yu unscrewed the wooden cork of the wine bottle and gulped it down in big mouthfuls.

"...What's with the injuries on your body?" Shen Fei frowned as he looked at the bandages all over Qian Yu's body. The bandages were still bleeding a little and looked fresh.

"These"—Qian Yu patted the wounds on his body without a care—"I got these by accident while saving a student today."

After saying this, Qian Yu put down the wine bottle in his hand and shrugged his shoulders. "Around noon today, I don't know what happened, but the exotic beasts in the wormhole became restless. Even the trap-type exotic beasts, which usually behave themselves, have become more ferocious."

At this point, Qian Yu took another gulp of wine.

"That student was going to the trap-type exotic beasts' nest to collect their eggs. He was fully prepared at first, but for some reason, the trap-type exotic beasts there all went crazy for no reason. If I hadn't acted in time, he would have lost his life.

"I didn't expect those trap-type exotic beasts to be so ruthless. When I was saving the student, I accidentally suffered some light injuries."

Shen Fei silently nodded his head. 'It's so serious, and you call it a light injury?' Shen Fei silently cursed in his heart.

If it had been those young masters, they would have been seriously injured at the very least. Qian Yu was the only one who did not take these wounds seriously.

"Shen Fei, you should be more careful when you're in the wormhole."

There was a faint worry between Qian Yu's brows as he raised his head and took another sip of wine.

"I feel that the strange beasts have become very aggressive this time, and it has little to do with the Blood Moon. Based on our previous experience, the trap-type beasts should not have been affected by this. But now, almost all the beasts have become very fierce. When you're out there, you must pay attention to your safety."

"Yeah, alright." Shen Fei casually nodded his head.

In any case, he only had to stay in this wormhole for another six days at most. After that, when he returned to school, he would be able to completely forget about Lear.

Thinking about everything that happened in the wormhole, Shen Fei was still a little worried. 'Aloy already said that... Lear probably won't come out, right?'

Qian Yu put the bottle to his lips, raised his head, and poured the whole bottle of wine straight into his mouth.

Glug, glug...

In the distant darkness, two silver-white wind blades flashed past.

Swish!

The crisscrossing wind blades danced wildly in the air and fiercely struck the wine bottle in Qian Yu's hand.

Crash!

Qian Yu was caught off-guard, and the wine bottle he was drinking from instantly shattered.

"Shen Fei, be careful! There's an attacker nearby!"

Qian Yu closed his eyes tightly and used all his strength to shake off the broken glass shards on his face. He reached out for the bathrobe on the bank and quickly tied it around his body.

"I know," Shen Fei looked into the darkness not far away, and his heart thundered.

The Flame Owl immediately flew out from the pocket realm and landed on Shen Fei's shoulder. Shen Fei furrowed his brows and looked around.

'From the direction the wind blades came from, the attacker should be on the left!'

"Go, Flame Owl! We'll just kill the guy who ambushed us!"

"Coo!"

The Flame Owl flapped its wings and turned into a red shadow, disappearing into the darkness.

'That attack just now...'

Qian Yu frowned and squatted down to look at the glass shards on the ground. For some reason, almost all of the glass shards were covered in black goo.

"From the way it attacks, it should be a trap-type exotic beast..." Qian Yu frowned.

However, the way it moved was completely different. It was a trap-type that knew how to wait for its prey.

"No matter what, let's catch up to it first," Qian Yu muttered to himself. With a wave of his hand, a huge portal opened up beside him.

"Roar!"

The huge Elemental Tyrannosaurus passed through the portal and immediately appeared beside Qian Yu. It obediently lowered its head and allowed Qian Yu to ride on it.

"Shen Fei, come on up!" Qian Yu mounted the Elemental Tyrannosaurus and waved at Shen Fei. "Let's just catch up to it and kill it!"
