Chapter 72: Little Red

They embraced for a long time before finally separating. Then, Ye Xuan said, “Mengli, make a birthday wish.”

Su Mengli nodded and looked at the birthday cake in front of her. In her heart, she silently wished, “I hope that he and I can be together forever, never apart!”

After making her wish, Su Mengli and Ye Xuan blew out the candles together. Then, Lin Xu, the dean of the college, came forward to help cut the huge birthday cake and distribute it to everyone.

At the same time, some people who had a good relationship with Su Mengli, such as Ye Xue and Qi Yue, gave her their prepared birthday gifts. Qin Heng also gave her a gift.

He and Su Mengli were just ordinary classmates, but he and Ye Xuan were good buddies. Ye Xuan gave him a cold iron pig-slaughtering knife and helped him gain a better understanding of his own abilities. Ye Xuan was like a brother to him, and Su Mengli was his sister-in-law, so he had to give a gift.

After everyone had given their gifts, Ye Xuan took out a pet egg and said, “Mengli, this is my birthday gift for you. Drop a drop of blood on it, and a little pet will hatch. Give it a try.”

The pet egg that Ye Xuan took out was about the size of a basketball, with some golden patterns on it, making it quite beautiful.

Su Mengli extended her index finger and gently bit it, then a drop of blood fell on the pet egg.

The shell of the pet egg slowly cracked, and a claw burning with red flames broke out of the shell.

Soon, the complete appearance of this pet appeared in front of everyone. It had a cat-like body but with a horn on its head. It was burning with red flames, and it had red and white patterns on its body.

It seemed to have the ability to fly naturally. After breaking out of the shell, its body immediately floated in the air.

It rolled in the air and then jumped onto Su Mengli’s shoulder, using its furry head to nudge her neck, looking quite intimate.

Su Mengli reached out to touch the little pet and said, “It’s so cute, Ye Xuan, thank you!”

At this moment, Lin Xu also stepped forward and said, “Where did you get these strange things? This little guy has great potential!”

Lin Xu was not weak in strength, and he could vaguely feel that there was some similarity between the flames on this little guy and Su Mengli’s abilities.

Although it was not as strong as Su Mengli, it should be at the SS class. If this little pet were to grow in the future, it would also be a great help for Su Mengli.

Listening to Dean Lin’s words, Ye Xuan smiled mysteriously and said, “It’s a secret!”

At the same time, a voice from Ye Xuan’s brain system sounded, “Pet egg hatched successfully, host’s partner obtained an SS-class Flame Red Lotus Beast.”

This mysterious pet egg was indeed amazing. The appearance of the hatched pet would be determined by the person who hatched it, and its abilities would also be related to the hatcher’s abilities.

This Flame Red Lotus Beast’s abilities were related to Su Mengli’s Flame Red Lotus, so the flames on its body couldn’t harm Su Mengli.

At the same time, its appearance was mainly based on a cat because Su Mengli had kept a cat when she was young and had always been fond of it.

It could be said that the pet hatched from this mysterious pet egg was definitely the most suitable pet for Su Mengli. It would be strange if she didn’t like it.

Su Mengli played with the Flame Red Lotus Beast for a while and then said, “It’s so cute. Let’s give it a name.”

Ye Xuan looked at the Flame Red Lotus Beast and said, “Since it’s all red, how about calling it Little Red?”

As soon as Ye Xuan said this, the Flame Red Lotus Beast immediately showed its fangs and claws at Ye Xuan, seeming quite dissatisfied.

However, in the next moment, Su Mengli slapped the Flame Red Lotus Beast on the head and scolded, “You can’t be mean to him! From now on, your name is Little Red!”

If the Flame Red Lotus Beast showed its fangs and claws at someone else, Su Mengli probably wouldn’t say anything. She might even find it cute. But Ye Xuan was different. Whether he was a human or a beast, if he dared to be hostile towards Ye Xuan, he would have to bear the wrath of the Empress.

After being slapped, the Flame Red Lotus Beast meowed a few times and then pitifully lay on Su Mengli’s shoulder, indicating that it understood and would never do it again…

The awakened students in the college, as well as the other faculty members, looked at this scene with obedient eyes. This pair were really protective of each other.

This little Red was so cute and adorable that any girl would cherish it, holding it carefully for fear of dropping it, and keeping it in her mouth for fear of melting. Su Mengli also liked it very much. From the way she looked at the Flame Red Lotus Beast just now, it could be seen.

However, this adorable Flame Red Lotus Beast, just because it showed its fangs and claws at Ye Xuan, received a slap and was given a very lousy name, Little Red!

Everyone should be careful in the future. This SSS-class awakened Su Mengli seems to be quite petty, especially when it comes to matters related to Ye Xuan. If you accidentally offend Ye Xuan, you might incur the wrath of Empress Su Mengli…

In the following three days, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli relaxed and enjoyed themselves. Cultivation should be done in moderation and not be too tense.

The college gave them a three-day break, and they spent their time eating, drinking, watching movies, and taking Little Red for walks. They had a relaxed and enjoyable time.

The three days quickly passed, and the third batch of awakened students, college students who had passed the awakening test, transferred from the regular campus to the Awakening Academy. The number of students at the Awakening Academy almost doubled.

In the afternoon of that day, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli had just finished walking Little Red when Ye Xuan said, “Mengli, do you have something on your mind?”

Su Mengli thought for a moment and said, “In the past few days, my father and mother… Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan, have called me several times, but I didn’t answer.”

Ye Xuan directly said, “That’s the right thing to do. Why bother with them?”

Su Mengli frowned slightly and said, “They sent me text messages, threatening to expose me if I don’t answer their calls. They said they would expose me as disloyal and unfilial, ruining my reputation.”

A cold light flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes as he said, “Did they really say that?”

Su Mengli nodded and said, “Now what should I do? If they really expose me, I’m afraid it will not only affect me but also the reputation of the college.”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and then said, “Let me talk to Dean Lin about this. He will handle it, so you can rest assured that they won’t dare to harass you again!”

Previously, as an A-class awakened, Ye Xuan had been targeted by the Admissions Office because of his close relationship with SSS-class Su Mengli.

In the end, Ye Xuan used his overpowering strength to make those people submit, but don’t think that this group of people was easy to deal with.

Su Mengli, a genuine SSS-class awakened, was the future pillar of China. Now, Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan dared to use this method to deal with Su Mengli. Ye Xuan believed that Dean Lin would let them know what it meant to consider the overall situation!
