BOSS Transmigrates as a Little Cutie - Chapter 137: Companion Beast

Chapter 137: Companion Beast

The exchanges between Horst and the station master, as well as the station master’s unkind gaze, were all left behind by Qing Yun, who took two steps forward and took down the scale that was hanging in the middle of the reception hall.

The aura emanating from the scales was the same as the aura of the man’s soul. Although the aura had become faint because the scales had been away from the body for too long, it still made Qing Yun feel like he was in tears.

Anyway, he finally found a trace of him. Maybe the man’s body was dead, maybe it was all just empty joy, but it was better to be exposed to this familiar scent again and find anything related to the man than to watch that man disappear into thin air.

Looking at Qing Yun’s obviously moved expression, Yi Rui, who had followed Qing Yun these days and was already extremely familiar with his indifference, could not believe his eyes.

The station master also noticed Qing Yun’s movement and immediately shouted in a fake manner, “Mr. Ilos, how can you be so rude as to take His Majesty’s scales? This scale is our faith and has always been sheltered in this space station.”

Qing Yun paused as he gazed at the scales and finally looked at the station master, “You say this is His Majesty’s scales?”

“Of course, you have committed a serious crime by taking the scales in such a rude manner.” The station master tried to scare the youth with a harsh tone first. He had long sensed that there was something wrong with this Ilos, who should have been dead. It seemed like his brain was damaged, and he had lost his memory. This is good, a physically weak waste without a barely functioning brain. Isn’t it better to deal with this?

After speaking, the station master smiled kindly again: “But Ilos, you see, all around are our friends, and His Majesty has also been sleeping for a hundred years. As long as I do not say, there is no one to hold you accountable for your sins, so you have to……”

The station master tried to take the scales back from Qing Yun’s hands, but the youth dodged the action.

Qing Yun did not pay any attention to the words of this station master who was full of lies. He turned his head to look at Yi Rui, who immediately explained to him knowingly.

“Sir, this is indeed His Majesty’s scales, the giant beast that you just saw outside the energy shield. Because the scales of the Star beast can block the harmful rays in the stars, a scale is put on every space hub station.”

After saying this, Yi Rui found that the always indifferent young man surprisingly had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: “There are thousands of hub stations in the interstellar, then aren’t his scales going to be plucked out all by you guys?”

These kinds of rude words once again came out from Qing Yun’s mouth, but Yi Rui was no longer frightened. Instead, he felt a faint warmth fill the air around the youth with these words. He looked at the young man and the scales in his hand and felt that this young man seemed to have an inextricable link with His Majesty.

“These are the scales that His Majesty naturally shed, but His Majesty has been sleeping for nearly a hundred years, so these scales have not been replaced with new ones for a long time.” Speaking of which, Yi Rui remembered the news he read on the star network before, “Right, there will be a selection of His Majesty’s contracted person again this year. I heard that this time the screening is for people who have been without a companion beast……”

As soon as he heard Yi Rui say this, the station master’s face instantly turned gloomy for a moment. He was afraid that Yi Rui’s words would remind this youth of something.

Qing Yun is not Ilos, so of course, he could not have any memories. However, he combined the information presented by these people and almost immediately connected what happened to Ilos with the selection of this year’s contracted person.

He played with the blue-purple scale with his fingertips, and his sea-blue eyes sarcastically swept over the unnatural-looking station master as he opened his mouth and asked carelessly, “You said my name is Ilos? Is that the trash who still has no companion beast at the age of twenty?”

The station master was drenched in cold sweat by the youth’s extremely oppressive gaze and could only nod with an unnatural smile.

“Oh? Then shouldn’t I, a waste, be on the Capital Star at this time for the selection of the contracted person? Why am I on a garbage star in an uninhabited area?”

Naturally, someone didn’t want him to get this opportunity.

Qing Yun snorted. He didn’t want to pursue the matter behind his original body, but if someone was inclined to stop him from meeting that man, then he would have to take care of it.

He took one step closer to the station master, who was sweating profusely and could barely even maintain the expression on his face.

The station master was also overwhelmed by the aura of this young man. He really could not figure out how Ilos, who had been at the mercy of others in the Capital Star, could have this kind of aura?

After noticing Ilos’ memory loss, he planned to feed him a brain-destroying poison to turn him into a complete and utter idiot. This way, he could use this puppet to extort a good deal from Mrs. Gled.

He knew that Mrs. Gled would never let the second young master back because his reputation as a waste was so strong that when it came to people without a companion beast, basically all citizens of the empire would think of Ilos. If Ilos was there, then he was the nailed-on candidate.

Of course, there are other reasons for Mrs. Gled to remove Ilos, including his mother’s legacy. Still, the most important thing is that Ilos knows about the third young master of the Gled family, Phil, who personally killed his own companion beast.

Looking at this station master’s flickering gaze, Qing Yun asked, “You know something about me?”

“No, no, no!” The station master subconsciously waved his hand, but then thought of the familiarity he had shown earlier and said with a stiff smile, “Yes, yes, I used to work under your father.”

“That’s good.” Qing Yun smiled. However, when they saw his smile, the station master and Yi Rui, who was standing behind Qing Yun, shook in unison.

In the next second, Yi Rui saw the white palm of the youth placed on the station master’s head. Then, a shocking wailing sound rang out. Within a short time, the station master, who had previously struggled to avoid it, became dull like a puppet.

Earlier, this person thought of making Ilos a fool, but now he himself has turned into this state.

Qing Yun directly searched the soul of the station master and obtained information about the identity of Ilos, as well as the various entanglements of interests of the Gled family.

He took back his palm and wiped each finger clean carefully with the silk handkerchief in his pocket. At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder if he really had any special attributes and why he would be in such a pitiful identity every time.

Ilos was born in wedlock. His father, the well-known chief prosecutor, Villef, had taken a new wife a year after his mother’s death. This was not to be condemned, but the current Mrs. Gled entered the house with a son older than him and justifiably took the position of Gled’s oldest son.

Ilos, on the other hand, suffered ridicule because of his delay in contracting a companion beast. His stepmother had spread his reputation as a loser throughout the empire, but she never expected to smash her own feet by lifting a rock.

When it came to choosing a companion for His Majesty, Ilos, the most famous waste of the stars, became the biggest obstacle for Mrs. Gled’s youngest son.

Since the soul of the original body was not a part of himself, Qing Yun did not have any particular empathy for what happened to this body. However, it was this identity that prevented him from meeting the emperor of Valanst, which was the most intolerable thing for Qing Yun.

He threw away the silk handkerchief in his hand and ordered towards the station master, “Open the teleportation device and send me to the Capital Star.”

The dull-faced station master moved like a string puppet with Qing Yun’s command.

Horst, who was far outside the reception hall, heard the wailing of his old friend and ran over just in time to see the dumbfounded look of the station master. He looked at the young man, who was playing with the blue-purple scale in his hands. Then, he looked at Yi Rui, who was standing next to him, and the other star pirates, who did not dare to say a word, and almost instantly guessed who was responsible for the station master’s appearance.

Seeing the station master obediently open the teleportation device, Horst stared at the station master’s dull eyes, only to feel a chill around his body. He did not dare to look back at the youth’s expression.

Horst knew all the plans of the station master. He did not participate in his plans, but at the same time, he did not tell these things to the young man named Ilos. That is, he expected the station master to succeed and really turn this powerful young man into a fool under their control.

Who would have expected that it was the station master who became this way. However, the station master originally planned to use some kind of poison, but what did this young man use?

“Go, bring your starship here.” The youth’s voice exploded in Horst’s ears, but today’s Horst couldn’t even muster up half a thought of resistance.

Capital Star, the Gled House.

The sixteen-year-old Phil joyfully ran through the door, holding a stamped post in his hand. He said loudly to his mother, who was sitting on the sofa, “Mom, look, this is the invitation for the selection of His Majesty’s contract person. I really became a candidate!”

“Oh, honey, slow down!” Mrs. Gled hugged Phil lovingly and said with great kindness, “Your body is still weak, so you still need to take care of it, okay? But people without companion beasts are always weak, so no one will suspect you.”

“Mom, I will definitely be chosen. I will also try to contract His Majesty.” As he said that, Phil’s eyes showed a trace of gloom that was quite inconsistent with his age.

Of course, he had to qualify to be His Majesty’s contract partner. After all, he endured both physical and mental pain for this purpose. He strangled his cat-type companion beast and took various drugs to recover to his current appearance.

Phil’s fiancé is the youngest general in the empire, but he does not have the same status and glory as his fiancé. Thinking about those comments on the star network that attacked him, Phil gritted his teeth with hatred. This time, with his father’s identity in place, as long as he could participate in the selection, he was sure to be chosen. He also had to work hard to be able to truly contract His Majesty.

Now that the Star beast has been asleep for a hundred years, and this is the only official time announced, some speculate that His Majesty has slept for more than a hundred years.

Although the people of the empire generally have long lives, many people still believe in their majesty. However, the young people of the new generation have lost this faith. In their eyes, what emperor of the empire, what Star beast, this was just a legend.

Now, the most talked about is the young General Andrea, who became a general at a young age. He is handsome and powerful, and his step-by-step journey to climb up from a low place has simply inspired countless people. There are even rumors that if His Majesty does not wake up, General Andrea will replace the sleeping Star beast as the new emperor.

The mother and son sat together thinking of a bright future, not giving a second thought to the body they had thrown to the garbage star.

At this moment, the butler came to inform: “Madam, young master, General Andrea is here to visit.”

As soon as he heard Andrea’s name, Phil’s face immediately flashed red, and Mrs. Gled also said enthusiastically, “Quickly let the general in.”

With His Majesty’s slumber, the veteran noblemen who followed His Majesty’s southern conquests back then also gradually fell into decline. Therefore, Mrs. Gled is quite satisfied with the treatment of Phil, a promising betrothed.

At the door, a man in a sharp military uniform slowly walked in. He first looked at Phil with an extremely gentle gaze before turning towards Mrs. Gled, taking off his hat and bowing respectfully.

At the moment of bending down, Andrea’s eyes flashed with a strange look. At the same time, a series of mechanical voices sounded in his head:

“Ding, the side quest ‘Get Phil’s Heart’ has been completed. Please collect your reward.”

“Ding, the main task is released. Help Phil contract the Star beast. The task completion reward is ‘Raise the Companion Beast Level’. Failure will result in obliteration.”
