I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 50: Entering the Library’s Second Floor

After clocking in, Qin Yang walked straight to his work area, holding Bai Li in his arms and feeling the occasional envious gaze.

The surrounding passersby exclaid in amazent.

"Wow, look at what that guy’s holding! What a cute little fox!"

"Even a librarian has a Beast Slave now. Incredible."

"Hmph. I bet he spent a fortune. At his strength level, it must have taken an enormous effort to subdue a Beast Slave!"

Whispers rippled through the crowd, a mixture of envy and jealousy.

However, Qin Yang paid them no mind. He calmly placed Bai Li on his shoulder, letting her curl up around his neck to free up his hands.

Then, he resud his daily work.

He wasn’t worried about being kicked out by the Steward.

The library’s rules regarding Beast Slaves were very lenient.

Martial Artists weren’t forbidden from bringing Star Beasts inside.

After all, from the mont they were subdued, these Beast Slaves had already gained basic intelligence and were no longer as wild as ordinary animals.

Moreover, for Star Martial Artists who specialized in Beast Taming, their Beast Slaves were like their own limbs and could never be separated from them.

With this in mind, the library’s Hall Master was very open-minded and made an exception, allowing Star Martial Artists to bring their Beast Slaves inside.

Even the staff could bring theirs.

As long as it didn’t interfere with work, anything was permitted.

"Yo, Old Qin, that’s a pretty cute little fox. Your new Beast Slave?"

Unable to contain his curiosity upon seeing Qin Yang’s fox, Xia He sidled up to him.

"Yeah."

Qin Yang nodded, stroking the little fox perched on his shoulder. Her body felt lithe and almost boneless, and she proactively nudged her small head forward to rub affectionately against his hand.

Her docile and adorable appearance imdiately made Xia He’s eyes light up.

"Holy crap, her temperant is incredible! I want to get one too."

Xia He nudged Qin Yang’s shoulder and rubbed his thumb and forefinger together. "Money is no object, Old Qin," he gestured. "What channel did you get it from?"

"I found her in my apartnt building’s hallway."

Qin Yang replied truthfully.

"Like hell I believe you!"

Xia He rolled his eyes. "Fine, don’t tell . I won’t force you. I’ve been thinking about getting a Beast Slave recently, too. I’m going to get a Mountain Monarch!"

"A Mountain Monarch? You an a tiger?"

Qin Yang asked curiously.

"That’s right. I’ll get a tiger-type Star Beast. Interested? How about I trade it for your little fox then, Old Qin?"

Xia He stared at the Bai Li on Qin Yang’s shoulder and said slowly, "Your little fox might be cute, but she’s weak. She’s definitely no match for a tiger-type Star Beast."

"No thanks. I’ll pass on the tiger-type Star Beast."

Qin Yang shook his head, waving his hand in refusal. "I wouldn’t trade her for anything you offer."

’A tiger-type Star Beast might be powerful, but their appetites are enormous!’

’The amount of at they eat in a single al is ten tis that of other Star Beasts.’

’Only a filthy rich guy like Xia He could afford to feed one steak and pork every day. An ordinary person would be broke after just a few als.’

’How could a humble library administrator like afford to raise one?’

’Besides...’

’...how could any other Beast Slave possibly be better than Xiaobai?’

’She can cook, sweep, and even give shoulder massages...’

’It’s pure bliss!’

"Ah, fine. I won’t force you, my friend. If you like her that much, then forget it."

Seeing Qin Yang’s firm attitude, Xia He relented. He looked at the fox reluctantly and said, "But your little fox is really weak. You’ll have to watch over her carefully from now on..."

The mont he finished speaking.

Hm?

Xiaobai, who had been nestled on Qin Yang’s shoulder, suddenly pricked up her ears. She narrowed her long eyes at Xia He, instantly displeased.

’How dare he call weak?’

’How audacious! I may not be able to handle Master, but I can certainly handle you!’

At this thought, Xiaobai abruptly raised her head, her eyes eting Xia He’s.

The next mont, in the instant their gazes t, a wisp of an Illusion Technique flowed into Xia He’s mind, planting the seed of an illusion.

"Hey, Old Qin, look behind you! There’s a hottie over there! And she’s wearing black stockings!"

Xia He suddenly pointed behind Qin Yang, his voice filled with delight.

"Where?"

Qin Yang instinctively turned to look. There were only a few people behind him, and he just saw a middle-aged man who had just checked out a book.

However...

...in Xia He’s vision, it was a completely different scene.

A beautiful woman with a slender waist, a bountiful chest, and a short skirt that revealed a pair of long, snow-white legs was walking past.

"She’s Top Grade, Old Qin! I’m really into her, I have to get her number!"

"Wait..."

Qin Yang was about to stop Xia He, but with a wave of his arm, his friend shot off like an arrow from a bow, impossible to hold back.

A mont later, he was standing in front of the man, pulling out his phone to start hitting on him.

For a mont, everyone nearby was stunned, staring at Xia He in bewildernt, completely baffled.

Seeing this, Qin Yang imdiately sensed sothing was wrong.

’It’s an Illusion Technique!’

Realizing this, he instantly understood. He rubbed Xiaobai’s head and leaned in close. "Stop it right now, Xiaobai!"

"Hmph... Serves him right for bad-mouthing earlier..."

Xiaobai grumbled under her breath, her face full of reluctance. But seeing Xia He hitting on the man in the distance, she figured her goal had been achieved and finally released her control over the Illusion Technique.

Xia He’s mind cleared, and his eyes regained their focus. But when he saw the middle-aged man standing before him, he froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

’Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?’

’Where’s the hottie?!’

All sorts of questions popped into his head. Combined with the countless onlookers, it was a textbook case of social suicide.

"Xiaobai, from now on, you are not to use your Illusion Technique without my permission. Do you hear ?"

Seeing the situation, Qin Yang warned Xiaobai in a low voice, "If you dare to use your Illusion Technique recklessly again, there will be severe punishnt!"

"Yes, Master... Xiaobai understands. It won’t happen again."

The Bai Li lowered her head and answered in a muffled voice.

After Xia He’s public social suicide, he imdiately found a corner to hide in. Qin Yang finally got so rare peace and quiet, and he went back to slacking off and flipping through books.

By this point, he had already flipped through all the books on the first floor. They weren’t much help to him, and he had grown sowhat tired of them.

’It’s ti to check out the second floor.’

With this in mind, Qin Yang continued to slack off, leisurely strolling over to the entrance of the second floor.

An intricate and profound Array was set up at the entrance, guarded by several Postnatal Experts of the Eighth and Ninth Layers who stood watch like iron towers.

The Star Force leakage on the second floor was so severe that it had long since disabled all surveillance equipnt. They relied entirely on these experts to stand guard.

Seeing this, Qin Yang began to inspect the library’s other security asures.

He casually released his Spiritual Power, which seeped through the entire library like water, silent and traceless. He quickly got a clear grasp of the situation.

’There’s no sign of the Hall Master’s aura.’

’This is the perfect chance to get to the second floor!’

’Relying on Xiaobai’s Innate Realm Illusion Technique, fooling these Postnatal Experts would be a piece of cake.’

At this thought, Qin Yang gently petted Xiaobai on his shoulder and said softly, "Xiaobai, you see those Postnatal Experts? Make it so they can’t see ."

"Oh, that’s simple, Master."

Xiaobai, curled up on Qin Yang’s shoulder, nodded and released her Illusion Technique.

The next mont, a silent illusion spread out, diffusing without a sound and implanting itself in the minds of the Postnatal Martial Artists.

Seeing this, Qin Yang walked out from the corner. Without any need for concealnt, he swaggered right past them, brushing their shoulders as if he were nothing but thin air.

He had successfully entered the library’s second floor!
