30: Devil's Whisper

“Everyone, don’t look at Li Yao anymore, look at me!”

“Although I know Li Yao is very handsome, it’s class time right now!”

...

Zhu Changqing’s rapid-fire speech successfully drew everyone’s attention back.

Just then, Zhang Quandan tried to poke Li Yao’s back with his finger.

However, Li Yao sensed it, turned around sharply, and startled Zhang Quandan.

“Whoa, Li Yao, your reaction speed is quite fast.”

“It’s alright. What, is something wrong?”

“Wang Bushi seems to have skipped class.”

“Skipped class? He probably doesn’t want to come to class because he lost Face.”

Li Yao stroked his chin, guessing, as everyone in the class knew Wang Bushi valued Face.

Everyone vividly remembered what happened this morning; if he stayed here, it would be strange if he didn’t suffer social death.

So, skipping class was quite normal.

“No, when I was on my way to class, I saw him quietly leaving the campus with someone.”

“Even if that’s the case, it has nothing to do with us.”

“Alright, don’t think so much about it. I’m the person involved, and I’m not anxious, so why are you anxious?”

“Are you trying to be a little eunuch?”

Zhang Quandan laughed and cursed, “You really think I’m a eunuch!”

Li Yao looked at Zhang Quandan and smiled helplessly.

Zhang Quandan was one of the people who knew about his Family background, but others were different.

Those who originally wanted to get close to him had probably already thought of ways to continue doing so after class.

Li Yao disliked such things immensely.

But, this was also to be expected.

After all, who doesn’t want to climb higher?

If it weren’t for his good luck in being born into a good Family—no, in transmigrating into a good body—he would probably still be living a mediocre life, just like in his previous life.

...

At this moment, Wang Bushi, who had already left the campus with a strange man, asked the strange man curiously,

“Is what you told me before true?”

The strange man had previously promised that if he was willing to cooperate, he would gain powerful strength!

This powerful strength was comparable to King-Rank power!

However, this matter required his cooperation.

“What I said is certainly true, but it comes with a certain price.”

The man’s lips curved slightly, revealing an evil, charming smile.

After leading Wang Bushi into an alley, the strange man removed his disguise.

It was a Demon!

Upon seeing this Demon, Wang Bushi was instantly filled with fear.

The Demon Race, one of the powerful races in the Universe.

Demons were synonymous with evil, and he never expected there to be a Demon Clan here!

Before Wang Bushi could cry for help, the Demon directly acted, covering Wang Bushi’s mouth, then smiled: “Human, don’t you want revenge?”

“If you are just a human, how could you possibly become stronger through normal channels?”

“As long as you cooperate with us, we will give you a chance for revenge!”

“You’ve already witnessed Li Yao’s strength, a King-Level Beast Master. Ask yourself, can you ever reach that level in your lifetime?”

Wang Bushi listened to the Demon whispering in his ear and gradually gave up resisting.

Oh right, that Li Yao had made him lose Face so badly in public!

Most importantly, this incident, if nothing unexpected happened, would be uploaded across the entire internet tomorrow!

As someone who valued Face immensely, he would absolutely not be able to bear this!

There was a high probability he would commit suicide, unable to Face this world!

But if he were to commit suicide like that, he would absolutely not be reconciled!

Seeing Wang Bushi give up struggling, the Demon’s smile grew even brighter!

Its rows of sawtooth-like teeth were exposed as it whispered to Wang Bushi: “As long as you resent him, hate him!”

“You can gain powerful strength!”

“Join the Demon Clan!”

“We will help you succeed in your revenge!”

Wang Bushi’s heart stirred upon hearing this, but he suppressed his excitement and asked the Demon, “Why do you want to help me?”

“Because our goals are the same,” the Demon grinned.

....

At noon, news of Li Yao’s matter instantly spread online.

An eighteen-year-old student could actually research the second correct evolution path for the Blazing Fire Monkey!

How shocking was this news!

It was important to know that most people had a one-in-ten chance of summoning a Blazing Fire Monkey during their first Beast summoning.

Therefore, among ten people, there would basically be one Blazing Fire Monkey Beast Master.

Now, Li Yao had actually researched the second correct evolution method for the Blazing Fire Monkey, which undoubtedly strengthened the overall power foundation of their human race!

Most importantly, once the evolution was successful, it would be of Epic Grade quality!

Epic Grade quality could elevate a Beast to King-Rank strength at its highest!

King-Level Beast Master!

Many people had already imagined themselves becoming King-Level Beast Masters in the future.

Many people online were shocked, and many were also skeptical.

Because Li Yao’s true identity had also been revealed.

The only son of the founder of the Li Corporation!

If nothing unexpected happened, the Li Corporation would be inherited by Li Yao in the future.

Some people who were sour grapes naturally began to smear him.

For example, they claimed that this method was definitely not researched by Li Yao, but by another Beast Breeder, only to be intercepted by the Li Corporation to build momentum for Li Yao, the heir of the Li Corporation!

Some even called for the vindication of the supposedly buried Beast Breeder!

All sorts of negative comments began to spread across the entire internet.

There were also people impersonating the so-called Beast Breeder, demanding help from the public online.

Li Yao was naturally unaware of these matters.

Even if he knew, there was no need to worry.

As the heir of the Li Corporation, if he had to worry about all these things, what were all the people under him for?

Within just one hour, the Li Corporation launched a counterattack.

Anyone who slandered Li Yao would receive a lawyer’s letter warning.

Furthermore, those who slandered Li Yao would Face various prosecutions and compensation claims.

The internet now operated under real-name registration.

Anyone who dared to slander or fabricate stories would only Face one outcome.

That was to await the judgment of the law!

Unlike the situation online, within Dragon Country, people from various great Families also began to take their own actions.
