Chapter 18: Pet

In her previous life, after the announcement of the revival of spiritual energy and the revelation of Su Mengli’s SSS-class talent, she had little contact with most ordinary people.

But Ye Xuan had heard that Su Mengli’s mount was a tiger with wings, weak in power and probably equivalent to Ye Xuan’s strength at that time.

Many people thought that Su Mengli’s mount was too weak. It should be noted that the mounts of several other top ability users were not only cool and stylish, but also had astonishing combat power.

The weakest among them was equivalent to an A-class awakened being. Only Su Mengli’s mount was very weak.

It turned out that it was because she had raised a black and yellow cat when she was a child. The current flying tiger was an enlarged version of her pet, except with an additional pair of wings. No wonder she was so fond of it!

If Ye Xuan guessed correctly, when the official activation of talents for middle school students was arranged in a little over a month, and Su Mengli was tested with an SSS-class talent, she would actively ask the authorities for the flying Northeast Tiger.

Thinking about it, Ye Xuan said, “Don’t worry, I believe your dream will come true!”

Su Mengli self-deprecatingly said, “How is that possible? It’s a tiger…”

Ye Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything more. At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Su Mengli’s personality and sentimentality.

When she was young, she had raised a cat at home. Later, that cat accidentally swallowed rat poison and died. She never forgot it and never raised another cat until now. When she saw the flying tiger, she took it as her mount because it looked so similar. She didn’t reject flying tiger because of its weakness.

Other people’s mounts were capable of standing on their own, but Su Mengli’s mount only had the ability to fly, and it wasn’t even fast at that.

If there was an emergency, Su Mengli would carry the flying tiger in her arms and fly in the sky instead of riding on it. Even then, with Su Mengli’s strength, carrying the flying tiger wouldn’t affect her speed at all.

Ye Xuan had seen a scene like this on the internet before. Someone accidentally captured the image of the Red Lotus Empress rushing on her way. The majestic Red Lotus Empress had flames swirling around her, and her temperament was unparalleled. But on her slender arm was a huge tiger with wings.

Because of the high speed, the strong wind made it impossible for the tiger to open its eyes. So the flying tiger had a comical expression, looking quite funny.

Soon, the bell for class rang, and Su Mengli said goodbye to Ye Xuan and hung up the phone.

At noon, Su Mengli was ready to go eat something when she heard a voice, “Mengli!”

Su Mengli was surprised, “Sister, why are you here?”

Ye Xue smiled and said, “I’m here to accompany my little brother. I’ll treat you to lunch. What do you want to eat?”

Su Mengli felt a little embarrassed and said, “Sister, Ye Xuan lent me some money. It’s better not to trouble you.”

Ye Xue smiled and said, “What’s the trouble? I also need to eat. Let’s eat together. Let’s go.”

Ye Xue said as she pulled Su Mengli along.

Su Mengli looked at Ye Xue’s enthusiasm and inexplicably thought of what happened the day before yesterday.

She had called her father and he promised to have lunch with her. She also wanted to take the opportunity to ask her father for some money. She had given up hope on her mother and could only put her hopes on her father.

Unfortunately, Su Guodong didn’t come for lunch that day. He sent her a message saying that something came up and he couldn’t make it.

Su Mengli felt quite sad and didn’t reply to Su Guodong’s message. He called her later, but she didn’t answer.

Just as Ye Xue was pulling Su Mengli towards a nearby restaurant, Su Guodong appeared.

He was accompanied by a woman and a young man who was about the same age as Su Mengli.

“Mengli, Dad really had something come up the other day and stood you up. I’m sorry. Today, Dad is here to make it up to you. I’ll treat you to a big meal!” Su Guodong said.

Su Mengli looked at Su Guodong and asked, “Dad, why are you here?”

Su Guodong smiled and said, “Dad is here to make it up to his precious daughter. This is your aunt, and this is her son, Xiaodong. You’re all grown up now, and your mom and I don’t get along, so we formed new families. Dad hopes you can understand.”

Su Mengli looked at Su Guodong and said, “Dad, I can understand what you’re saying, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it.”

Su Guodong was taken aback for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. “Yes, you’re right. We can take it slow, take it slow!”

At this time, Su Guodong’s second wife, Chen Lan, said coldly, “Su Guodong, come out with me. I have something to say to you!”

Su Guodong awkwardly put down his chopsticks and followed Chen Lan.

At the same time, Ye Xue said, “I’m not feeling well. I’ll go to the restroom.”

Then, Ye Xue got up and left the room, leaving behind a cold-faced Su Mengli and a drooling Chen Xiaodong.

Near the restroom of the hot pot restaurant, Su Guodong and Chen Lan stood there.

Chen Lan had a dissatisfied expression on her face. ” What’s the deal with your daughter? How could she treat my son like this? Is this your so-called making us closer?”

Although Chen Lan was also remarried, her family conditions were much better than Su Guodong’s. Normally, she wouldn’t have looked down on Su Guodong.

However, Su Guodong showed Chen Xiaodong a picture of Su Mengli and told him that as long as he helped Su Guodong pursue his mother, Su Guodong would introduce his daughter to him. In the future, the two families would be even closer, and Su Mengli would be his wife.
