Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 9

Jiang Ying clutched the broken stem of her Sunflower pet beast, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face as she defiantly lifted her head to look at Su Yu.

Her life, her everything.

Why, just as things were starting to go well, had Su Yu so ruthlessly destroyed it all?

“So this is your revenge, huh? Come on, do it! Hit me!” she yelled through her sobs. “Waaa, did you meet her long ago and deliberately hide your talent just to break up with me?”

“Scumbag, bastard, heartless jerk!”

“Waaa~ I was wrong, Su Yu, I was wrong! Please, forgive me! Let’s get back together, okay?”

Su Yu froze in disbelief.

How had he not noticed before just how shameless Jiang Ying could be?

“If just now you hadn’t eagerly taken the lead in trying to kill me to cozy up to Wang Hongxi, I might have believed you.”

“But you did.”

“Your tears aren’t because you feel any guilt. They’re because your ugly heart has been laid bare, and it’s more than you can handle.”

“Leave. I don’t hit women.”

As Su Yu turned to leave, Jiang Ying raised her head, only to be greeted by a loud, stinging slap!

“Smack!”

All her weeping and wailing were silenced by the force of the blow.

On her now-reddened cheek, Alia Tepes’ handprint stood out vividly. “My master may be a gentleman, but this queen is not~ Stay away from my man, you bitch!”

Jiang Ying sat dumbfounded on the ground, her face blank with shock and confusion.

Shangguan Ling stirred slightly and sent a telepathic message: “Principal, this is unbelievable. It must be a rare S-rank talent, right? But why does his talent report say ‘None’?”

Satisfied with the answers he had gathered, Ning Hanwen left behind a brief telepathic reply: “Heh, no need to dig deeper.”

“Shangguan, assign Su Yu to your department. You’ll personally oversee him.”

Shangguan Ling blinked in surprise. “Huh? Oh, understood.”

With that, Ning Hanwen vanished as effortlessly as he had arrived.

It was clear that, no matter what, Su Yu’s admission was now a certainty.

Off to the side, Wang Yue ground his teeth in frustration, his jaw nearly trembling with rage.

His nephew had been humiliated, stomped into the dirt like a ragdoll. How could he not be furious?

Too many unexpected developments had unfolded!

Su Yu’s S-rank talent, Alia becoming a pet beast, the principal’s personal intervention…

Wang Yue’s relentless targeting had ironically served as a stepping stone for Su Yu to rise higher!

Su Yu…

Just wait. The Wang family will never forget this grudge.

Inside the simulated demonic lair,

Alia lay sprawled on Su Yu’s back, whispering teasingly into his ear, “Master, I’ve realized something—I think I love you a little more than I did before.”

Su Yu wagged a finger at her. “No drinking blood here. You know people are definitely watching us.”

Usually, whenever Alia called him “Master,” it meant she was about to make a request.

Alia pinched his waist playfully. “Hmph, that’s not what I meant.”

“If you’re willing, I could even let that woman from before become one of your little slaves.”

Su Yu gagged dramatically. “Ugh, no thanks. Once you’ve had luxury, you can’t go back to mediocrity.”

After driving a “luxury car” like Alia, why would he bother with something as unimpressive as Jiang Ying?

“Hmph, smart choice. If you dared agree, I’d bite you to death!”

Suddenly, Alia seemed to realize something. “Oh no, some of those onlookers managed to escape!”

Huh?

Oh right!

The mission!

Su Yu’s task was to return to Redstone City, capture the traitor, and stop the beast tide.

Yet he had wasted so much time here. Those thirty or so spectators who hadn’t joined the fight must have slipped away during the chaos!

Which meant that if they survived until the beast tide arrived without being caught, Su Yu’s mission would fail.

The spectators on Rose Plaza seemed to realize this at the same time.

“Crap! How is he supposed to catch them now? Thirty people fled in different directions—that’s like searching for a needle in a haystack!”

“He’s screwed! The freshman barely won, and now his mission is about to fail!”

“Good, good, good! Give us Alia back!”

“Ugh, you guys are so shallow. I’m rooting for you, junior!”

“Exactly! They’re a couple of talent and beauty, a match made in heaven. Who are you monsters to object?”

Su Yu chuckled softly. “Let them run.”

Who said completing the mission required capturing every traitor?

Alia’s lips curved into a sly smile. “Oh~ Little one, tell this queen—what exactly is your talent?”

Her curiosity about Su Yu only grew stronger.

Originally, she had assumed his talent was just fragrant blood!

Su Yu naturally trusted Alia. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered the truth.

A glimmer of light flashed in Alia’s eyes as she asked, “I see. So that’s it. Little one, if one day a much stronger enemy demands me from you, will you react the same way you did today?”

Su Yu pinched her cheek gently. “What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Losing my life would scare me less than losing you.”

“Let’s go. It’s time to deal with the beast tide itself!”

The male students on Rose Plaza were utterly speechless.

Watching the pair’s intimate behavior…

It was obvious that whatever could or couldn’t happen between them had already happened.

The person they couldn’t bear to let go of had already been claimed by Su Yu.

But Su Yu’s bold claim to handle the beast tide itself?

How was that possible?

Did he think a beast tide was the same as fighting Beastmasters?

A beast tide—terrifying in its sheer numbers. The Bloodthirsty Ants and Green Vine Treants were both swarming species, and a tide would involve at least tens of thousands. What could Su Yu possibly do to stop it?

Not to mention that such tides often included fearsome beings at the Reincarnation Realm.

Surely, Su Yu was overestimating himself.

In the eyes of many, Su Yu’s plan was nothing short of an ant trying to stop a cart.

—

However,

What unfolded next defied all expectations.

Su Yu reached the path of the advancing Green Vine Treants and instructed Alia to use her Blood Queen ability to manipulate his blood, sprinkling it across the rocky ground.

No one understood why Su Yu was doing this.

Once the task was complete, Su Yu and Alia retreated to a safe distance.

Soon after, the tide of Bloodthirsty Ants and Green Vine Treants swarmed across the land like an unstoppable flood.

Then, something astonishing happened!

The Bloodthirsty Ants suddenly went berserk, launching a frenzied attack on the Green Vine Treants!

It was as if they had been possessed, desperately chasing after the blood Su Yu had scattered!

Lethal Allure!

The higher-ranked Bloodthirsty Ants completely lost their minds. Their natural instinct to hunt blood was utterly overwhelmed by Su Yu’s unique “Lethal Allure” talent!

They began devouring everything in their path without hesitation!

This was their racial trait—and Su Yu’s extraordinary talent!

And so, the grand beast tide came to an abrupt end as the Bloodthirsty Ants and Green Vine Treants annihilated each other in self-destruction!

—

“Holy crap! Is this even possible?”

“The Bloodthirsty Ants are naturally drawn to blood, but why does his blood have such an irresistible pull?”

“What exactly is Su Yu’s talent?”

“The Calamity Lair? He’s more like a walking calamity himself!”

“Wow, with a performance like this, there’s no way he won’t be tomorrow’s top trending topic.”

“Tomorrow? Tonight! Look—there’s already footage being uploaded!”

Rose Plaza erupted into chaos.

The miracles brought about by this freshman were too numerous to count. He had truly opened everyone’s eyes.

And before Su Yu, a light screen materialized.
