Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me

Chapter 20: Beast Tamer?

--- Chapter 19 --

"He's my fiance."

"Eh?" Several gasps echoed in the banquet hall.

Who's Yanfei?

She is the esteemed lady from the Miteer Family and the owner of the Auction House in this city. Her status and wealth exceeded all three clans in Wu Tan City combined. Of course, we don't consider Xiao Clan's past glory.

There is some rumor that Yafei has a lover in this city, but to think it was true.

'He looks so young, maybe one or two years older than Yan'er.' Xiao Zhan stared at Baek Ain with a prying gaze. Xiao Zhan couldn't hide his surprise because Yafei had supported Xiao Clan recently, though the support decreased a certain amount a few weeks ago.

The elders of Xiao Clan looked at Baek Ain with an astonished gaze, wondering what kind of luck this young man possessed to be Yafei's fiance.

Baek Ain ignored their gazes and rolled his eyes inside because Yafei only wanted to brag about him. Even so, Yafei's bold declaration makes Baek Ain happy.

Yafei smiled from ear to ear and added, "His name is Baek Ain. You might never hear of him because he rarely goes outside and prefers to train in our compound. However, trust me."

"He's the one who developed our delivery service."

"What?!"

The people at the banquet became even more shocked because the Auction House, specifically Miteer Family Branch's delivery service, is something unheard of until now.

Delivery Service was a bright idea that allowed people to order something with a simple bird carrier and get their orders within an hour or two within Wu Tan City. It's fast and efficient delivery with the bicycle, which could travel faster on a busy road.

Of course, a more extensive item needs a carriage to get transported.

And all these were "actually." developed by such a young man.

"What a genius."

"How could he come up with this?"

Baek Ain's ears were numb with their praises. It's not a big deal for a man who lived in a modern era like him, where almost everything is automated.

The delivery service he developed in this world is still worse than the modern world's standard because there was no computer to put these orders in place. Yafei hired a group of people who could read quickly to take and convey the incoming order.

'Well, looking at their reactions, it must be mind-blowing.' Baek Ain thought to himself.

Xiao Zhan ordered a maid to bring a chair and said, "Young man, please sit down."

"It must be tiring to stand there all this time, no?" He smiled politely after knowing what Baek Ain could do.

"Thanks, Xiao Clan's Leader." Baek Ain didn't refuse and sat beside Yafei.

Xiao Zhan handed a cup of wine to Baek Ain and offered, "Hahaha, have a drink! Such a bright-minded person like you would bring a big change to this world."

His cheeky and warm nature sure brings people together.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhan is Xiao Yan's father. His fate is rather grim in the future.

'Shame, the accursed protagonist halo, and his ill-fated disaster.' Baek Ain drank the wine while observing Xiao Zhan's expression.

On the floor below, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er overheard the conversation.

Xiao Yan tilted his head because Baek Ain's name sounded familiar, but he couldn't get his hand on it for some reason.

Meanwhile, Gu Xun'er stopped her movement mid-way. She was drinking a warm tea and immediately used Dou Qi's Sense to locate Baek Ain's presence.

'It's him!' Gu Xun'er eyes widened in disbelief.

The young man who made her taste defeat.

Even though Baek Ain's appearance changes slightly, his facial features are still the same.

Regardless, Gu Xun'er attention wasn't "directly." focused on that.

'How could he reach 9-Star Dou Master so quickly?'

Gu Xun'er hasn't seen Baek Ain for roughly four months. Even Xiao Yan, who trained to his bones, only reached 4-Star Dou Master.

And someone from this part of the world shouldn't have possessed the resources to leap cultivation like Baek Ain. Is he that talented?

Gu Xun'er frowned because the scrawny-looking young man came into her mind. He stood bravely against her, knowing he would get defeated in one move, yet he showed her something beyond that.

'Was my judgment wrong?' Gu Xun'er suddenly felt an energy shock.

Cough! Cough!

She choked on her warm tea and caused Xiao Yan to worry.

"Are you okay, Xun'er?" Xiao Yan asked worriedly.

Gu Xun'er wiped her mouth with a napkin and replied, "I'm okay, Brother Xiao Yan."

Yao Chen, who resided within Xiao Yan's black ring, noticed the energy backlash and whispered, 'Xiao Yan, someone is interfering with your sister's energy sense.'

'That person most likely caused her to choke.'

'How?!' Xiao Yan was furious.

Yao Chen shook his head and commented, 'Your current level is too low to use Dou Qi Sense. Unlike Xiao Xun'er, you are simply a frog in the well.'

'Hmm, it is the kid named Baek Ain that your sister fought four months ago in the middle of the street.'

"Baek Ain..." Xiao Yan clenched his hand tightly and looked up.

As the banquet continued, a frightened scream suddenly howled in the Xiao Clan's pavilion.

"KYAAAAAAA!!" It was a woman's scream. She is getting stricken by a headless corpse full of bloody scars.

'Just my fucking luck. We shouldn't have come here.' Baek Ain thought while grabbing Yafei's hand. He has a bad feeling about this situation.

"IT'S A MAGICAL BEAST ATTACK! LOOK UP THERE!" Another shout echoed in the hall.

Everyone raised their heads and saw at least one hundred 2-Rank Magical Beasts in the sky. There are also some 3-Rank Magical Beasts scattered in the pack.

[Ding! The host has triggered a quest]

[Name: Magical Beast's Tamer]

[Description: A tamer of the magical beast has appeared and attacked Wu Tan City. It's one of the few changes that occurred in this world, so please do this quest carefully]

[Objective: Kill the beast tamer and his two 4-Rank Magical Beasts(0/3)]

[Reward: White Tiger's Armor(A+) and Wind-Lightning Hawk's Wings(A)]

[Penalty: Wu Tan City's Demise]

[Time Limit: 2 Hours]

[Do you want to accept the quest?]

Baek Ain sighed inside and looked at Yafei, "Fei, hear me out. I'll bring you to a safe place first."

"Rou should have noticed the situation and controlled the situation at the compound, so please don't be stubborn."

"Mm." Yafei nodded and silently followed Baek Ain out of the banquet hall.

Baek Ain carried Yafei like a princess and used Super Jump, swiftly leaping from house to house. They stepped out of the Xiao Clan, which should be fine because Jia Ma Academy's representative is still there.

Wu Tan City has fallen into chaos as the magical beast attacks everything that moves. Yafei could see some brutally eaten corpse and shut her eyes, calming herself by hugging her beloved fiance.

Yafei isn't much of a fighter. She's just 2-Star Dou Grandmaster and lacks fighting experience as she focused more on business than cultivation.

"You'll be fine." Baek Ain reassured her.

He smiled and added, "I won't let them touch a single hair of yours."

They quickly arrived at the Miteer Family Branch's Compound and saw several shadow guards fighting magical beasts, pushing them away from civilians.

"Lady Fei, Ain!" Lan Rou greeted them with blood-soaked armor.

"Rou, please protect Fei." Baek Ain handed Yafei to Lan Rou.

Lan Rou grimaced and questioned, "What about you?"

"Someone has to end this magical beast attack, no? I'll be fine." Baek Ain smiled at them. "Leave it to me."

SWOOSH!

His figure disappeared with a strong breeze.

"I love you two."

Lan Rou and Yafei heard his voice a moment later.

'Be safe, Ain.' Lan Rou thought while bringing Yafei to the bunker under the compound.

Meanwhile, Yafei gritted her teeth and mumbled, 'I'm happy that Baek Ain wanted to protect me, but I don't want to be useless... I'll survive and visit the main house to do intense training again.'

...

...

Baek Ain slashed through a row 2-Rank Flying Magical Beast with his tanto, creating a streak of light in the sky.

[Ding! You have killed nine 2-Rank Magical Beasts]

He kicked the air and slaughtered every magical beast before his eyes, swinging his tanto skillfully. He arrived at the west gate of Wu Tan City and saw a green-robed man sitting on a turtle-like magical beast.

"That guy, huh?" Baek Ain used Sixth Sense, sensing over a thousand 2-Rank to 3-Rank Magical Beasts in the area.

He pulled Sharp Tiger Blade from the inventory and said, "Alicia, start counting."
