32: Helicopter rescue

“These reporters are truly annoying.”

Li Yao’s head throbbed as he watched the school gate, already swarming with reporters.

Had these reporters been waiting since the morning?

They were truly dedicated.

“Li Yao, how about I cover you while you make a run for it?”

Beside him, Zhang Quandan patted Li Yao’s shoulder and asked with a smile.

“No need, I have a way to leave.”

“Thankfully, Steward Zhang had already made arrangements for me; otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

The next second, a buzzing sound filled the sky.

Everyone looked up, and it was a helicopter!

This helicopter was precisely what Steward Zhang had just purchased, seeing as a crowd of reporters was surrounding his Young Master.

Since driving was not an option, the only way to leave was by helicopter.

After all, for these reporters to catch up would be nothing short of a dream.

“Young Master, I’m late.”

Upon reaching the airspace above the school’s sports field, Steward Zhang opened the helicopter door and shouted to Li Yao.

“Steward Zhang, you’ve finally arrived.” As he spoke, Li Yao smiled at Zhang Quandan beside him and said, “Zhang Quandan, I’ll be leaving first. See you tomorrow.”

With that, Li Yao leaped, directly jumping into the helicopter, which then carried him away, back to his home.

Meanwhile, the reporters below were all dumbfounded.

So, their waiting from morning until now had all been in vain?

If they could provide grievances, every reporter right now would probably give Li Yao 99+.

“Young Master, you really shouldn’t have exposed your secret today.”

Because this matter was revealed, everyone now knew that Li Yao was the Young Master of the Li Corporation.

What followed, naturally, was endless trouble.

Of course, these troubles would only last for a while; things would return to normal after some time.

“Don’t worry, Steward Zhang, it’s just some trouble.”

“Even if it wasn’t revealed now, it would surely be exposed eventually, right?”

“So, this is just a bit earlier, and I know what I’m doing.”

Upon hearing Li Yao’s words, Steward Zhang found it difficult to say anything more.

After all, he was just a Steward, and Li Yao was the Young Master. How could a Steward interfere too much with his Young Master’s affairs?

With the helicopter, it only took a little over ten minutes to successfully return home.

Since the residential area Li Yao lived in was an affluent one, its security and other aspects were naturally of the highest Advanced.

During these past ten years, Li Zun had trained the security personnel in this community, and everyone’s strength had reached at least the level of a King-Level Beast Master.

It could be said that they were all his own people.

With these security guards at the gate, it would be strange if these reporters could sneak in.

“Young Master, you’ve worked hard.”

When Li Yao returned home, the first person he saw was Wang Xiaomei.

At this moment, Wang Xiaomei was wearing a black and white maid outfit, and her sheer black stockings perfectly accentuated the tender flesh of her thighs.

Wang Xiaomei held a tray, and on the tray was the fruit juice Li Yao liked to drink.

“Hmm, Wang Xiaomei, well done. You knew I’d be a bit thirsty when I got back.”

As he spoke, Li Yao took the juice and chugged it down in one gulp.

He finally felt much better.

Li Yao seemed to remember something and curiously asked Steward Zhang, “Steward Zhang, did my father say he was going somewhere specific?”

“The Patriarch didn’t say where he was going, only that we shouldn’t worry about him.”

Steward Zhang shook his head and said, after all, he was just a Steward.

A Steward only needed to be responsible for all management within the home.

“I wonder where he went. Never mind, let’s go see how the Ink Kirin is doing.”

After all, if there were no surprises, this Ink Kirin would be his second Beast.

After summoning the Golden Armor Fire Ape, it was no longer as massive as it initially was.

After continuously adapting to its strength, the Golden Armor Fire Ape gained an ability.

Body Shrink.

It could freely shrink its body size.

The smallest it could shrink was to two meters, which was how it looked when first encountered.

This way, there was no need to worry about the Golden Armor Fire Ape’s living arrangements.

“Go, Golden Armor Fire Ape, go to the training ground and adapt to your strength.”

Roar! Roar!

The Golden Armor Fire Ape nodded upon hearing this and, led by Steward Zhang, went to the training ground in the house.

The training ground was a place specifically for training Beast Master’s strength.

Li Zun had it built to train the practical combat abilities of the security personnel.

According to Li Zun, the maximum strength it could withstand reached Saint-Grade.

The value of the Materials spent was naturally inestimable.

And within the training ground, there were all sorts of weapons, as well as dummies for training and projected exotic beasts.

Enough for the Golden Armor Fire Ape to train with.

After watching the Golden Armor Fire Ape and Steward Zhang leave, Li Yao sat on the twelve-meter-long sofa and turned on the television, which was broadcasting today’s news.

Unsurprisingly, out of ten news reports, nine were related to him.

“The ten-year Universe exchange student program is about to begin….”

“An Emperor-Grade exotic beast appeared in the waters of Neon Country….”

….

Just then, Li Yao seemed to recall something and curiously asked Wang Xiaomei beside him, “Wang Xiaomei, how old are you this year?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomei instinctively placed her right index finger on her cheek, thought for a moment, and then said, “I was eight years old when Master redeemed me; ten years have passed, so I am now eighteen.”

“Eighteen years old? Doesn’t that mean you can also perform Beast summoning?”

“Yes, but Xiao Mei doesn’t want to become a Beast Master; she only wishes to serve Young Master and Master her entire life.”

When she was abducted, it was Li Zun who appeared, redeemed her, and saved her from dire straits.

If it weren’t for Li Zun, she might truly be in an unknown state of life or death right now.

Recalling that scene from her childhood, it had now become Wang Xiaomei’s Heart Demon.

Whenever she thought of that scene, her body would involuntarily tremble.

That was a symbol of fear.

“If you become a Beast Master, wouldn’t you be able to serve us even better?”

“You should know that if you don’t become a Beast Master, you’ll probably only live for about a hundred years.”

“But if you can become a Beast Master, wouldn’t you be able to serve us forever?”

Wang Xiaomei was very good, Li Yao knew that.

After all, Wang Xiaomei had lived with the original owner since childhood, taking great care of him in all aspects.

Therefore, Li Yao didn’t mind letting Wang Xiaomei become a Beast Master as well.

Anyway, the entire Universe was full of Beast Master; one more Wang Xiaomei wouldn’t hurt.
