Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

109 They’re Coming

‘Exotic beasts were already very troublesome existences to begin with. But this time, there’s ever a new poison.’

At the thought of this, Aloy rubbed her forehead in distress. This made the original disaster even more difficult to deal with.

“Lady Aloy!”

Just as she was about to look for something, an urgent call came from behind her. Aloy turned around.

Many of the youths from the school council who were in charge of organizing this year’s gathering were waving their hands in a hurry and running toward her.

“Lady Aloy, we have something to discuss with you.”

“What do you want? Just say it.”

Aloy stood upright in front of them. Looking at the situation in front of her, she was a little dazed for a moment.

It was as if she had returned to the time when she was the empress.

The few people from the school council bowed in front of Aloy and said respectfully, “The examinations are just around the corner, but your uncle has disappeared for some reason. I wonder if you can tell us where he is now?”

Aloy shook her head decisively. “I’m not sure either.”

Upon hearing this. The people from the school council suddenly panicked.

“If you know where your uncle is, can you ask him to come quickly? The school assessments are starting soon. Without him as the organizer, we won’t be able to do many things!”

“Fine,” she said.

Aloy nodded in understanding. “Then you guys go and wait. If I have news of him, I’ll let you know at once. However, do you still lack manpower on your side?” Aloy looked at the crowd with concern. “Do you need my help?”

“No need, no need! Is such a small matter even worth your time?” The crowd scratched their heads in embarrassment.

How could they ask their goddess to help them with such a small matter?

“If you really can’t find my uncle, you can come to me if you get overwhelmed.” Aloy smiled gently at everyone present. “I will also do my part for you.”

This smile made many of the school council members feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. No wonder Aloy was so popular. Who would not love such a good-natured, gentle, and beautiful goddess?

“Then, we’ll go back first and wait for your news.”

After saying this, many of the young men from the school council bowed to Aloy and left in a hurry.

Looking at everyone’s departing figures, Aloy revealed a satisfied smile. The school committer was usually very busy, and it would not be long before they came back to ask for her help.

However, that uncle of hers might not be able to come. As long as Aloy closed her eyes, the scene in the secret realm of the wormhole would be transmitted to her mind through the Ice Spirit’s eyes.

At this time, Lear was still struggling with the exotic beasts in the wormhole. She had thought that he had some good way to tame the beast…

But she did not expect that he would beat the beasts half to death before forcefully taming it.

At the thought of this, Aloy’s heart was filled with disdain. If it was this kind of trick, she could do it, too!

‘Isn’t this just a fight with exotic beasts? What’s so difficult about that?’

There were still some differences between this life and the previous one. In her previous life, when those exotic beasts were discovered, they were almost invincible.

However, in this life, perhaps because exotic beasts were discovered earlier, as long as the Beastmasters were Master-tier, they were still able to hold their own.

It was just a small difference, yet it could turn the impossible possible!

The danger of the exotic beasts themselves was another matter…

Aloy looked at the people locked up in the cages and felt a massive amount of pity for them.

Even if she could tame them, it was hard to guarantee that they would not bite back at her. Before she could fully grasp Lear’s skills, she had to observe more.

Aloy thought about her future plans and turned to leave.

“Is anyone there?”

Just as Aloy was about to leave, a call for help suddenly came from the tent behind her.

“Is there anyone? Hello? I’m so hungry…”

“Who is it?” Aloy turned around in shock, her eyes observing the cages in front of her.

‘These poisoned Beastmasters actually still retained their consciousness?’

“It’s me, I’m right here…”

An arm covered in purple veins stretched out from the cage furthest away. Li Ruoying lifted the black cloth with great difficulty and looked at Aloy innocently through the gap.

“I’m really hungry. Can you please bring me some food?”

‘It’s her!’ Aloy frowned subconsciously. The woman who had been unconscious in the secret realm.

“Do you want a sandwich?” Aloy squatted down, took out a sandwich from her storage ring, and placed it in front of the cage.

“I want it!” When Li Ruoying saw the sandwich, her eyes lit up. She immediately picked up the sandwich and gobbled it down.

“Say….”

Aloy observed Li Ruoying in front of her. Other than the menacing purple blood vessels on her arms, she looked no different from a normal person.

However, for some reason, Aloy thought that she vaguely resembled people from the Li family.

…It was probably just in her head.

“Why were you locked up in this place?”

Aloy looked at her curiously. She did not seem to have any wounds on her body. Logically speaking, she should not be here.

“I don’t know either, I was already in this scary place when I woke up…”

Li Ruoying shook her head in confusion and looked around in fear.

“Can you let me out? I don’t want to be locked up in this dirty and stinky place.”

“I’m afraid I can’t.” Aloy shook her head decisively. “The people who get locked up here are very dangerous. I can’t let you out so easily.”

After saying this, Aloy apologetically took out a few sandwiches from her pocket and placed them in front of Li Ruoying.

“You can make do with this for now. In two days, there should be people coming here. When they check that you’re fine, they should let you out.”

Aloy smiled, turned around, and walked toward the base not far away.

“Two days? No, I won’t make it!”

Li Ruoying shook the iron bars in front of her with all her might.

“I’m begging you, truly, don’t leave me in this damn place. They’re coming!” Li Ruoying looked at Aloy in panic. “When they come, I’ll die here for sure. I beg you, let me out! I won’t tell anyone!”

“What do you mean by that?” Aloy looked at her in confusion.

What did she mean by “they’re coming”?

“Can’t you feel it?” Li Ruoying shrunk her body in fear. “It’s the thing over there.”

Aloy frowned and looked in the direction Li Ruoying pointed at.

The wormhole spun slowly in the air.

‘Could she be talking about the exotic beasts in the wormhole?’
