Astral Pet Store Chapter 599 – Depth Of The Corridor

Chapter 599 Depth of the Corridor

After Su Ping and Li Yuanfeng had been successfully hidden, Su Lingyue said, “Sorry, I got in trouble again…” She looked even paler and could barely stand.

She knew that Su Ping would only go there for one reason, to find her.

It pained her heart to think that Su Ping had traveled all the way from the Longjiang Base City, which was a dangerous endeavor. She wasn't even courageous enough to make eye contact with him.

“Why are you here?” Su Ping looked at her. He was angry at her and worried for her at the same time. This gal has never stopped making trouble.

“They tricked s...o...b..ll into coming here and I came to find her…” Su Lingyue's voice dropped lower and lower.

She entered that place to find s...o...b..ll, but then some beast kings popped out and surrounded her when she went to a certain place inside. There was no way back for her. She had no other choice but to keep on running forward; she ended up in that place somehow.

She realized that the place was full of beast kings; she couldn't go anywhere. Having no other choice, she went into hiding and waited for death to arrive.

She had given up all hope. But when she thought that death was inevitable, she saw Su Ping.

“They?”

Su Ping took a second before he asked in a deep voice, “Do you mean the student surnamed Nan from the academy?”

“You know about that?”

Su Lingyue immediately realized that Su Ping must have gone to the academy or else he wouldn't have been there.

“How did they catch s...o...b..ll? Also, this place is off-limits in your academy. Do you not know how dangerous this is? Is it all worthwhile, just for a pet?”

Su Ping was mad at her.

They could always get another pet. That charcoal-like Phantom Flame Beast didn't have some rare bloodline, either.

“I know that but, s...o...b..ll has always been my pet… And, you trained s...o...b..ll, so she's better than before. I cannot allow anything to happen to her…” Su Lingyue bit her lips and tears glistened in her eyes. She wasn't bad because Su Ping had scolded her. It was because she felt sorry for what she did, which was the only reason for Su Ping to be there in the first place.

She knew what that place was. She thought Su Ping would be able to get in but never get out.

“So, you wanted to come here and end up in trouble along with s...o...b..ll?” Su Ping said grumpily.

He did want to let his temper go rampant, but the look on her face made him stop.

He might have done the same thing if s...o...b..ll were his battle pet.

“Did you find s...o...b..ll?”

“Yes.”

“How did they catch s...o...b..ll in the first place? Wasn't s...o...b..ll in your contract s.p.a.ce?”

“…s...o...b..ll likes to hang out and I always let s...o...b..ll stay outside with me,” Su Lingyue whispered. Su Ping rolled his eyes. s...o...b..ll liked to hang outside. Just for that, it almost got its master killed. He realized that he may not have trained s...o...b..ll well.

“Give s...o...b..ll to me When we get back. I will train it some more.” Su Ping squeezed the words out of his mouth.

Su Lingyue stared at him. Somehow, she found his words were full of killing intent!

But…

Could they even go back? She lowered her eyes. “I'm sorry for having dragged you down again…”

“I'm glad that you do know this. Don't you always forget?” Su Ping interrupted her self-blame.

Su Lingyue was a proud girl. Apologizing, again and again, was not making her feel good about herself. She was indeed sorry. Still, Su Ping believed he had to make her remember.

After all, the Deep Caves wasn't a place to have fun.

Li Yuanfeng smiled as he saw the siblings. “We can go back now that you've found your sister,” he said to Su Ping.

“Yes.”

Li Yuanfeng's voice made Su Ping feel less grumpy. “This isn't the place for us to talk I'll take you outside first,” he said to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue finally raised her head. “There are five beast kings roaming about in this area. We can run into them if we get out.”

“Then we'll run.” Su Ping didn't bother to waste time in that place. He opened up the scroll. “Get inside and have some rest.”

“I can help you. Moon has learned very powerful hiding skills, like the one I'm using. The skill can cover up our breaths and sounds completely. This is how I've been able to survive without the beast kings finding me. But I can't move fast enough when I'm using it…” She refused to go into the scroll.

Su Ping also noticed that the skill she had just used was quite strange. Even though she had given a solid reason, he wouldn't allow her to stay outside. “You don't have a lot of astral powers left in you. Go ahead and have some rest. We can find a way out now that we made our way in. Staying outside with us will only slow us down.”

Su Lingyue wanted to defend herself.

But Li Yuanfeng advised her otherwise, “Just listen to your brother. We've been here for some time now and we must get out.”

Su Lingyue had to relent since the two men insisted. She crawled into the scroll, but before she went in, she gave one last gaze at Su Ping. “If you're in danger, run and leave this place. Don't worry about me. I'm going to count on you to take care of our parents…”

“You doomsayer. Shut up,” Su Ping stopped her.

He pushed her head into the scroll.

Su Lingyue fell into the scroll, head first.

Su Ping closed the scroll, violently. Li Yuanfeng didn't know what to say. “Come on. Time to go back,” Su Ping said to Li Yuanfeng.

Li Yuanfeng asked a weird question, “Brother Su, do you have a girlfriend?”

“Why would I want a girlfriend?”

In the depths of the Corridor.

There was a ma.s.sive hole; its bottom was the actual lair where all the beasts in the Deep Caves gathered.

Of course, as more and more beasts were multiplied, the lair had no more s.p.a.ce left.

Naturally, the weak would be marginalized in that place.

As such, those beasts would have to leave their lair and get a place to live in the Corridor.

Many pieces of bones were scattered by the edge of the hole in a pitch-dark den; the flesh had been eaten up by something. A crimson eye was suddenly opened in the darkness.

The pupil ran across the eye vertically; its structure was complex, being made by tissues entangled together. The look in the eye was as cold as ice.

Whoos.h.!.+

A beast with four wings flew over. It had the body of a lion but a human head. The beast landed in front of the eye and the beast was merely as big as the pupil! The four-winged beast lowered its head and said with the utmost respect, “Sir, how can I be of service?”

The crimson eye moved. A deep and sonorous voice was heard. “I smelled some puny things. Find them and kill them!”

Although surprised, the winged beast immediately acknowledged the order.
