Starting With Contract Pets

Chapter 183: The End

They returned to the hotel, packed up, and got on the bus to return to Carp Town’s Fourth High School.

On the way, the bus became filled with discussions, some melancholy and some happy.

What surprised Su Bai most was that, besides Chen Ruoxue, another person had actually passed all 150 stages in the assessment.

This person was actually Chen Tingting. Upon careful thought, he felt that it was normal. This girl was a born fighter, and she even had the bond skill Immortal Soul of War with her Blade Praying Mantis, so it was not unusual for her to win full marks.

As for Yang Zhou and Jiang Yang, their performance was relatively normal. One passed only 114 stages while the other passed 120 stages. The score difference between them and him was rather large.

Higher scores were given to the later stages.

“Hey, Sister Tingting, you’re really amazing. I worked so hard but still couldn’t reach the point of your abnormality.” Jiang Yang pulled the girl and cried.

He had just managed to win her over but was now going to be separated because of the college entrance examination. It was too difficult for him.

“Hey, Su Bai, Chen Ruoxue, you two are too abnormal. You didn’t show us any mercy at all.” Yang Zhou sighed and complained as well. The gap between them was too big, and there was no hope of entering the same university.

They finally understood the meaning behind Su Bai’s words at the beginning.

“The grades aren’t out yet, so don’t worry. I won’t give up on you.” Chen Tingting smiled at Jiang Yang.

As for the couple, they were not worried about this issue.

“Sister Tingting is right. Our grades haven’t been released yet. Let’s go have a big meal and relax. I haven’t relaxed for half a month.” Su Bai smiled.

“Okay, but it’s your treat. I’m a single dog, so I’ll only eat for free and never treat anyone,” Yang Zhou said with a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry; I’ll treat you,” he said smilingly.

While they were chatting, their class teacher, Wang Wenyi, came in. After everyone had quieted, she said, “I’m just here for a roll call, and then everyone can go home.”

“Su Bai!”

“Here!”

…

This time, everyone’s voice was exceptionally loud.

“Very well. Everyone is here. If that;s the case, then… let’s sing another song to bid farewell to one another and our youth.” Looking at the melancholic faces of the students, Wang Wenyi suddenly suggested.

“Come. I’ll start with the song, ‘Changting’…

“Beside the ancient road outside the Changting Pavilion, there is a lot of green grass… I ask you how long you will be here…”

As they sang, the corners of many students’ eyes inevitably teared up, and Wang Wenyi could not help but turn around to hide her tears, too…

This goodbye signified the end of their most innocent three years and the most beautiful youth.

After singing a song, the teacher smiled sadly. “Alright, dear passengers, this train has reached the terminal. I’m going back the same way. You can fly far away and disband. You can come to school to see me again when you have time.”

“Let’s go; we’ve graduated.” Su Bai reached out to hold Chen Ruoxue’s hand openly.

“Yes, we’ve graduated!” Grinning, she held his hand openly. No one would bother them for showing intimacy in public anymore.

“Goodbye, teacher!” They waved to Wang Wenyi.

“Goodbye!” Wang Wenyi smiled and watched them leave the classroom while standing on the podium and sending sincere blessings.

“I didn’t understand why the graduation season is in the summer, but now I understand that tears will dry faster because of this.”

Chen Ruoxue took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

As Su Bai went out, the others also left one after another. In the end, only Wang Wenyi stood quietly on the podium in the empty classroom. She was silent for a long time and finally a faint smile appeared on her face.

“I’m leaving this school; I won’t have to ever return!” Yang Zhou looked at the gate of the school and shouted loudly. However, after he finished shouting, he turned around in silence.

The moment he stepped out of the gates, he realized that he was no longer a student of this school.

“Let’s go to my house for a party; we have everything there.” Su Bai laughed.

“I want to go, too. Am I welcome?” Hou Jie drove over and shouted.

“Of course.” He smiled in welcome.

They rode in the woman’s car and soon arrived at the Azure Dragon Mound.

“You called us over, but have you bought all the ingredients?” Chen Ruoxue asked.

“Don’t worry. I have asked our parents to buy all the ingredients in advance.” Su Bai looked at her and smiled.

“We are not married yet; it’s your parents.” She blushed.

He laughed and asked, “Then how about we get married now? I’ll go to your house and steal the household registration book.”

Too many people had died in this world due to aura rejuvenation, and the population had since shrunk greatly. Not only had the legal age of adulthood been adjusted to just sixteen, the age of marriage had also been adjusted to seventeen.

However, even so, the world’s population had not exceeded four billion in one hundred years.

“No way. I want an upright and frank marriage.” She chided him.

“Haha! Just kidding.” He laughed in response, actually not in a hurry to get married.

“What do you guys want to eat? Barbecue or hot pot are both okay.” He looked at the others.

“Barbecue. Now that the sun is setting, it’ll be nice to have a barbecue in the yard. Most importantly, everything can be barbecued.” Hou Jie laughed.

“Okay, barbecue then. I’ll move the grill, and you can go to the kitchen to get the ingredients.” He laughed.

“I’ll help you.” Yang Zhou chased after him.

After installing the barbecue grill in the backyard, he released the dino to light the charcoal.

“Roar!” Okay, it’s my turn!

With a wave of its small claw, all the charcoal turned bright red.

“It just so happens that I also have a suckling pig which has been marinated and hasn’t been roasted yet. I’ll roast it now.”

Su Bai took out the suckling pig from the refrigerator as the main course.

Everyone worked together and quickly grilled a batch of meat. They ate around the table and drank iced drinks and beer.

“Wow! When did your barbecue skills become so good?” Chen Ruoxue was full of praise while eating the roasted suckling pig.

“Yes, this level is almost better than that of a barbecue restaurant.” Hou Jie also looked at him with mild surprise as she issued this praise.

“It’s actually very simple; I’ve grilled meat in the wilderness for four months before.”

Su Bai spread his hands. He had tried various techniques for four months, so how could he not become good at it?

“Impressive.” Yang Zhou praised while chewing on a pig leg.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was eight o’clock in the evening. Everyone struggled to finish their food.

After tidying the dishes and chopsticks, everyone stood up to leave.

“Okay, we’ll go back first. Give us a call if you need anything,” Yang Zhou said.

“The villa is big; you guys can stay for tonight.” Su Bai offered.

“No, all good things must come to an end, so I won’t stay tonight. Those who are leaving, come with me, and I’ll send you home,” said Hou Jie with a smile.

“Then teacher, go ahead.” Chen Ruoxue waved her hand, intending to stay here tonight.

“Okay, then. Goodbye.” Hou Jie waved and drove away in her Audi.

“Are you sure that it’s okay if you don’t go back tonight?” Su Bai looked at his girlfriend and asked.

“I told them in advance that I’ll stay at my classmate’s house.” She blinked at him.

“That’s great.” He picked her up all of a sudden.

“Stop it. Let’s put away these things first.” Chen Ruoxue giggled. Although Yang Zhou and the others had helped tidy up, the arrangement was still messy.

“Okay, then.”

Su Bai put her down, and the two arranged everything together.

“By the way, why has Jade been in the form of a cat these days? I haven’t seen her turn into a human.” Chen Ruoxue asked after they cleared everything and started walking to the second floor.

Speaking of, Su Bai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “She’s sulking because she sneaked into my bed and was criticized by me.”

“Don’t worry; I’ll go and coax her later.” Chen Ruoxue shook her head but also understood his embarrassment.

On the second floor, she took a bath and walked out in a bathrobe. She went over to the cub and touched its soft hair. “Jade, can you turn into a girl and play games with me?”

“Howl. ( ̄へ ̄)” No.

The cub turned its head away and glanced at Su Bai.

“I apologize; I was wrong.” He bowed sincerely to it.

“It’s alright. You’re a very good girl; don’t care about what he said.” Chen Ruoxue hugged and kissed it.

At this time, the cub’s body flashed and it turned into Limitless Beauty. It kissed Chen Ruoxue and licked her lips happily. You’re so good to me, unlike stupid Ah Bai.

The cub felt very sad and dissatisfied, holding heartfelt aggravation. It clearly wanted to get close to its owner but was criticized and dealt a huge blow, instead.

“No, don’t be mad at me anymore. It’s all my fault.” He apologized to his pet.

The cub turned away and ignored him.

“It’s okay; let’s ignore him. Can I sleep with you today?” Chen Ruoxue smiled while pulling the elf.

Okay, I’ll sleep with you today, not with smelly Ah Bai. The elf raised its chin haughtily.

Su Bai dared not speak anymore. The elf still needed time to calm down and forgive him.

After watching TV for a while, he went out to the balcony and watched the stars in the night sky.

There was no light pollution on the villa, so the Milky Way in the starry sky was very visible.

He felt quite regretful tonight as he wanted to hug his girlfriend to sleep. However, seeing the elf hug her as if she were its own, he decided to give up.

“Be good; sleep alone.” Chen Ruoxue kissed him and took the elf to rest.

“Sigh. Mewling, come and sleep with me. Life is really so lonely.”

He hugged the fox.

Okay, I can accompany Ah Bai at any time. You can also tell me what dreams you want to have. I can help you dream of real combat. The fox licked his palm and spoke gently in his mind.

“Any dream is fine?” Su Bai walked into the bedroom and asked as he lay in bed.

Yes, anything. It’s very simple for me. The Mewling Fox nodded.

“Then give me a gentle and calm dream.” He thought for a while and told it.

Alright, then. Go ahead and sleep. The fox cooed.

Nodding, he settled in bed and soon drifted to sleep.

In his dream, he came to a beautiful Jiangnan water village with an endless lotus pond in front of him. The faint lotus fragrant even permeated the air…

…

…

At 6:30 a.m., Su Bai woke up. “Ah, it’s time to get up for school.”

Have you forgotten that you already graduated? The baby fox glanced up at him from the other side.

“Oh, you’re right; I graduated.” He lay back down and continued to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already past 10 a.m.

“You’re finally getting up, you big slacker.” Chen Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him when he entered the living room. “The meal is still hot in the kitchen; I’ll be leaving now.”

“Do you want me to send you back?” Su Bai asked. Sadly, his girlfriend could not stay here forever.

“No need. Go and eat quickly. It’s not good for your stomach if you skip breakfast.”

She shook her head and went downstairs while carrying her backpack.

After watching her leave, he went back to the kitchen to eat the prepared food.

She had made rice, fried potato shreds, and small fried beef.

While he ate, he thought about his next step.

The college entrance examination results would come out around the twenty-fifth, and the volunteers had to be filled in early July. Participation in the National League was on July 15, and it would be August when the competition was over. After that, school would start in September.

There did not seem to be much free time.

However, the National League Tournament could be handed over to Chen Ruoxue and the others. It was enough to enter the finals directly. He and his girlfriend had a special mobile phone to contact each other with, so they could keep in contact at any time.

He wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the other eleven parts attached to the Scarlet Wilderness, so that his pet dragon could acquire more blood subordinates. Even if there was no way to infect all of them, the more the better, so he would still try his very best.

Things seemed to become clear after thinking about them this way.

Once he was done with his breakfast, he began preparing for his trip to the monster wilderness.

“Roar~” Ah Bai, are we going to the monster wilderness again? The dino asked as it gnawed on an ore and read a harem book.

“Yes, we are, but not now. Let’s rest for a few more days before going.”

Before going to the monster wilderness, he wanted to relax and stroll around with Chen Ruoxue, or else he might be beaten to death there.

“Howl!” Remember to make more potions for me; I’m nearing a breakthrough! The cub said on the sofa while playing games. It did not even raise its head.

“Don’t worry; I’m prepared.” Su Bai nodded.

Five days later, in the center of Carp Town, Chen Ruoxue tidied up his clothes and said, “Be careful and pay attention to your safety.”

She originally wanted to travel with him, but he was going to the monster wilderness, so she had to give up this idea.

“Don’t worry; I’ll be fine.” He waved his hand.

Turning around, he rode into the city on Purple Jade, which had become a big white cat.

The best way for him to go to the other parts of Scarlet Wilderness was to enter the one managed by Wei Ya and then rely on the ring given by her to find the spatial door and enter the other areas.

Thus, he still had to enter the Scarlet Wilderness through the Blood Moon Bar. Originally, he thought that he would not return for at least a year or two.

After changing his appearance, he stepped into the bar and came to the Scarlet Wilderness.

Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, he took a hat from his backpack.

He then looked at the ring’s guidance which pointed in a direction. “Go this way; this should be the nearest one.”
