Chapter 120 - 120 Beast! (2)
120 Beast! (2)
After a long silence, Xingrong couldn’t help but say,
“H-Hall Master Lin, Nethery is a good person!”
Hearing this, Lin Ye, who was still deep in thought, could not help but twitch his lips.
“I don’t comment on whether it’s good or not, but it’s really not human.”
Xing Rong ignored Lin Ye’s correction. He glanced at the spirit girl beside him and then looked at Lin Ye pleadingly.
“Hall Master Lin, I can guarantee with my life that I won’t let Nethery hurt innocent people.”
“Is it possible to… Um… Not kill her?”
Lin Ye was stunned by Xingrong’s sudden plea for mercy.
“Uh… I didn’t say I wanted to kill it.”
“It didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Even if you commit a crime, it’s not my business. The Public Security Department or Yang Wei will have to look for you.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s straightforward words, Xingrong was also embarrassed.
This… this was a little different from what he had imagined.
Lin Ye could see Xingrong’s concern.
He knew that the consequences of the Eye of Desire must have frightened him.
He explained,
“The situation with that eyeball is different. Although the spirit girl and the Eye of Desire are both special-quality subdued beasts, you’re lucky. Gray-quality subdued beasts won’t have any effect on Master.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s explanation, Xing Rong was relieved.
Seeing that Xing Rong no longer suspected that he was going to kill the spirit girl, Lin Ye pointed at it and said.
“I’m just curious what it can remember.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Xing Rong also looked at the spirit girl beside him.
To be honest, he was also very curious.
After all, the only time the spirit girl recalled the past was her moves and how to “summon” the weapon in her hand.
As for the specific memories, she still did not know anything.
“Nethery, can you… tell me?”
When Lin Ye heard Xing Rong’s gentle tone and observed the way he looked at the spirit girl, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Holy shit!
This kid… could it be that he had some bad thoughts about this ghost?!
He recalled the story about three characters, one who wanted to get it on with a snake, one who wanted a goddess, and one who… Cough cough, forget it. This was a little harsh.
Now, there was someone who had desires for ghosts.
Why were these people’s tastes so strange?
“Boohoo~”
Listening to Little Tanuki’s cry on his shoulder, Lin Ye’s thoughts suddenly began to wander.
The nine-tailed fox seemed to be very beautiful after transforming…
Hiss!
Damn it, he could not think too much about this!
Little Tanuki was still a child!
Lin Ye reached out and pulled Little Tanuki into his arms. He rubbed its furry tail to calm himself down.
Otherwise, he would be led astray by those “bold” seniors!
The spirit girl was still expressionless.
Hearing Xingrong’s question, she nodded slightly.
“Yes, I remember a little.”
Xing Rong’s face lit up.
“Remember what?”
Lin Ye also asked,
“Do you remember where you came from? Do you have your own name?”
The spirit girl looked at Xing Rong and Lin Ye and thought for a moment before shaking her head.
“I don’t know where I came from. I only remember that there are snow mountains all around me. Then, there’s a green area far below the snow mountains.”
“As for the name… I don’t know either.”
Hearing the ghost girl’s pale description, Lin Ye was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t this equivalent to not saying anything?
Snow mountain, which snow mountain?
He could not even guarantee if it was the snow mountains and forests of this world.
After all, Lin Ye had never asked about the origins of the beasts in the Beast Taming Machine.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye took advantage of Xingrong’s concern for his “ghost girlfriend” and called out the system in his mind.
“System, where did those beasts come from? Is it the Beast Taming World?”
[Yes, all the beasts come from the Beast Taming World.]
As expected!
Although he did not know how the system did it, this result was enough.
The “snow mountain” that the spirit girl mentioned could at least confirm that it was not from some strange world, but the snow mountain in the Beast Taming World.
At the thought of this, Lin Ye interrupted Xingrong, who was asking questions, but it was all nonsense.
He looked at the spirit girl, pointed at himself, and tried asking,
“Do you remember what your people looked like?”
“Like us, or is there some difference?”
The ghost girl was covered in a white cloak, so Lin Ye didn’t know if there was any difference between the ghost girl and a human.
After hearing Lin Ye’s question, before the spirit girl could answer, Xing Rong spoke.
“Curator!”
“Nethery’s body is the same as a human’s. There’s no difference!”
The spirit girl nodded in agreement.
It meant that Xingrong was right.
Lin Ye: ???!!!
Σ(⊙▽⊙”a
This… what the f*ck… what had already happened?!
Thinking of this, Lin Ye looked at Xing Rong strangely.
Most importantly, before today, the lower half of the spirit girl’s body was an illusory existence~
It did not have a physical body at all.
Even if the spirit girl was in a visible state, she did not have a physical body.
This… there was no way out!
“Tsk!”
“I didn’t expect you to be such a beast!”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Xingrong was stunned.
Then, he remembered that Lin Ye seemed to have misunderstood his words. He immediately blushed and stammered,
“No, it’s not what you think!”
“Doctor Lin, you’ve misunderstood. It’s really not like that!”
“I, she… This, this, I just… accidentally saw it. That’s why I said that Nethery is no different from a human.”
“But I-I don’t know if it’s really human.”
Looking at Xingrong’s embarrassed expression, Lin Ye was suspicious.
“You really didn’t do that?”
Seeing that Xingrong was about to deny it, Lin Ye spoke earnestly like an old cadre.
“Don’t worry. Even if you really do it, I’ll keep it a secret for you.”
“After all, I’m not the kind of person who talks big. Vice-President Yang, which is the guy you saw just now, can testify.”
“But I have to remind you to take care of your body. Spirits are different from humans after all.”
‘I’m sure you know the situation, right?’
Hearing Lin Ye’s “advice”, Xing Rong wanted to cry.
He clearly just had this idea. Why was the curator so sure that he had already implemented it?
Xing Rong opened his mouth but did not explain further.
He was even a little secretly delighted.
The curator could be considered Nethery’s “reborn parent”. Since he did not object to him, didn’t that mean… there seemed to be no resistance?
Xing Rong suddenly felt better again.
In any case, it was fine if it was misunderstood. It was fine as long as he could be with Nethery.
Seeing the smile on Xing Rong’s face gradually become infatuated, Lin Ye could not help but retreat.
Damn, he hoped he wouldn’t infect him with that infatuation.
Back to the topic.
Now, Lin Ye could know that the clansmen on the snow mountain where the spirit girl was alive at least looked no different from humans on the surface.
However, it was definitely not human.
The system had said that there were no humans in the Beast Taming World.
However, Lin Ye immediately thought of something—
The humans mentioned by the system were clearly based on Lin Ye or the people in this world.
However, what if Nethery’s clansmen were the “natives” there?
Where were the “humans” there?
There was nothing wrong with this!
This made sense. Why could the Great Sage learn about sacrificial offerings, marriage, and other happy things?
After figuring this out, Lin Ye looked at Xing Rong and suddenly had an excellent idea.
The Beast Taming World was so big that it was a little unrealistic for Lin Ye to slowly explore it with teleportation alone.
The main army was definitely still Beast Tamers like them.
Wasn’t there a free “expert” in front of him?
He did not believe that Nethery’s “hometown” wasn’t a certain snow mountain in the Beast Taming World. How could this guy not go and find it?
