Raised by Monster Royalty - Chapter 17.2

Three in one (2)

Xiang Fei couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. The breath he had been holding in was released, and tears flowed from his eyes, along with a little bubble of snot from his trunk.

Mu Le: “…” What’s the logic behind this?

Gu Mingzhou gritted his teeth as he glared at Mu Le.

Of course, he didn’t think he was useless.

As a human who lived with Gu Mingyuan every day, he had become accustomed to the presence of dragons. It was normal for her not to be afraid of him.

But she was just a pet that they kept at home.

Before Gu Mingzhou could say anything, he was interrupted by a sudden approaching figure.

It was Xiang Fei’s mother.

When she saw Gu Mingzhou, she was also taken aback and hurriedly ran to Xiang Fei’s side, her heart pounding.

Mu Le stood by and politely greeted, “Hello, Auntie. I’m Lele, Xiang Fei’s friend.”

Xiang Fei’s mother was even more surprised. She turned to look at her child and saw Xiang Fei nodding slightly.

Elephant Mom: Oh my goodness.

She repeatedly nodded at Mu Le, “Hello, hello. My Xiang Fei is a bit timid. Please take care of him more often…”

Mu Le smiled, “Sure!”

Although the little girl had dragon horns, she didn’t exude any intimidating aura. In fact, she gave the impression of being more approachable than the other classmates in the previous class.

Elephant Mom was very relieved and happily took Xiang Fei home.

Before leaving, Xiang Fei turned back and looked at Mu Le with concern.

Mu Le waved at him and smiled, “See you this afternoon!”

It wasn’t until Elephant Mom and Xiang Fei disappeared from their sight that Gu Mingzhou glanced at Mu Le and sneered, “Ridiculous. What’s the point of being friends with an elephant?”

Mu Le looked at him with a bit of sympathy, “Do you have any friends?”

Gu Mingzhou replied, “We don’t need friends.”

Mu Le said, “Can you equate having no money with not needing money?”

Gu Mingzhou: “……..”

Although Gu Mingzhou was Gu Mingyuan’s younger brother, he was still a middle school student in Mu Le’s eyes. If it weren’t for him being mean to Xiang Fei just now, Mu Le wouldn’t bother dealing with him.

The youngest-looking girl in the room was thinking seriously.

In fact, Gu Mingzhou was also thinking — I don’t want to argue with a little kid.

“Let’s go,” Gu Mingzhou said, looking down at her. “I’ll take you to the cafeteria. If we’re late and it’s crowded, don’t blame me if you get trampled.”

He turned and walked towards the school.

With his tall stature and long legs, he walked quickly, while pointing at Mu Le’s short legs, as if he could outrun her easily.

Mu Le panted as she chased after him, struggling to catch up. It was not easy for her to breathe by the time she caught up to Gu Mingyuan.

The little dragon brat quickened his pace.

Mu Le, gasping for breath, grabbed his hand firmly.

Gu Mingyuan stopped.

The little girl was not tall, and her hands were particularly small. She reached out with effort, trying to grab a few of his fingers. Her strength was so weak that he could easily shake her off with a wave of his hand.

He looked down at the human toddler beside him and sneered, “Aren’t you afraid of me at all?”

With a toothy grin, he looked just like an angry cat.

If Mu Le were a bit taller, she would definitely pat his head like a cat and coax him, saying, “Scared, scared.”

The male keeper at home looked much scarier than this kid. Yet she still climbed onto his neck, didn’t she?

But there was still a difference between her own owner and the children of the owner.

Mu Le squeezed his fingers tightly, remaining silent.

This response was seen by Gu Mingzhou as a clear sign of submission and compliance.

His lips curled, curling his fingers as well, holding Mu Le’s small hand in his palm.

“So useless,” Gu Mingzhou scoffed. “With your speed, if it weren’t for the early dismissal, could you catch up to anything?”

Mu Le pondered for a moment and asked him softly, “Oh, right, you haven’t been dismissed yet. How did you come out?”

Gu Mingzhou: “…”

He closed his mouth.

Mu Le struggled to hold back her laughter.

—This kid actually skipped class.

Although she didn’t like tattletales, she would definitely go and report to Gu Mingyuan next time if she caught Gu Mingzhou skipping class again.

Mu Le’s pace was really slow.

Fuzhong School was really big too.

By the time they arrived at the school cafeteria, students from other classes had already been dismissed.

The largest-sized beastmen ran the fastest, rushing into the cafeteria like a storm, causing a commotion in the school.

Fortunately, Gu Mingzhou was very skilled. He led Mu Le to pick their lunch and found a seat in a secluded corner.

Mu Le ate her meal while curiously looking around.

The animal school was truly diverse, with all kinds of animals, even more than in the animal world.

In the animal world, when they filmed, they usually selected a specific grassland, forest, or a particular species… but these beastmen had evolved to the point where they were no longer limited by climate and environment. All kinds of beastmen could squeeze together and attend classes.

The scene was truly spectacular.

Mu Le even spotted a senior student who was a panda.

Unfortunately, the panda senior was very popular and surrounded by numerous senior students. Mu Le only caught a glimpse before her view was blocked by the crowd of beastmen.

Gu Mingzhou frowned and whispered to Mu Le as a warning, “Don’t look around while eating.”

“…,” Mu Le looked at his displeased expression and asked him in a low voice, “Are you… envious?”

Envious of the panda senior having so many friends while he didn’t have any?
