Beast Tamer, Wither Skeleton's Storm Journey

Chapter 3: Two Years in a Hurry, Adoption

The afternoon in the central city is pleasant with a summer breeze, but as August approaches, the heat is inevitable.

In a kindergarten, Mingli was carrying a small schoolbag, standing with three other children from the orphanage, waiting for the older children to pick him up.

After living in the orphanage for two years, Mingli had already adapted to life here. On the day she turned five, Director Chen Ye sent her and several other children to a kindergarten class, starting with the small class, continuing for a year, and finally entering the first grade.

After a year of study, Mingli has learned to read. The orphanage they live in is called Changzhou Orphanage.

Director Chen Ye is also very kind to them. He gives them eggs to eat every day and plays with them. In addition, there are not many children in the orphanage, so they are more like a big family.

"A Ming, hurry up!" Just when Ming Li was thinking about something with his head down, a voice came from the side. Ming Li looked up and found that it was Brother Yu Shu who came to pick them up.

"I'm coming!" Mingli shouted loudly and ran quickly towards the elm tree.

Yushu is a 17-year-old boy. Since no one has adopted him, Director Chen Ye decides to train him as an employee of the orphanage. He picks up Mingli and the others from school every day.

"How did you learn today?" Elm touched the heads of the three little ones one by one and asked.

"I got 80 points on the test!"

"I'm telling you, Brother Yushu, Mingli was sleepwalking during his nap at noon today, and he was actually calling for grandma."

"Humph! Zhan Gao, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

"Hey, Mingli, I'm telling you, don't come near me!"

Three children were playing around the elm tree. The tree watched them with a smile and sometimes reminded them of danger.

Hey!

Roar!

Suddenly, at the corner of the road ahead, two different roars came out, as if from some kind of wild animal.

When Yu Shu heard these two voices, his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Zhan Gao who was dodging beside him, called Ming Li and another little girl who were chasing him, and prepared to leave.

"Damn it, who released the beast or are the alien beasts invading?"

Pulling the three little ones, Elm Shu ran away. Before he had taken a few steps, a loud shout came from the place where the roar came from.

"Who dares to release the beast in the central city!" Along with the shout, a long spear fell from the sky and stabbed into the roadside. Then, a man jumped down from the sky and stood steadily on the end of the spear.

The man standing at the end of the gun was wearing a blue-black special combat uniform, with a wristband tied around his arm and a logo on his chest: "Law Enforcement Department"

Two passers-by who had summoned beasts to fight each other because of some quarrels saw the spear, and their eyes immediately cleared up. More passers-by saw that nothing was wrong, so they watched from the side and whispered to each other.

"Roar! A senior officer of the Law Enforcement Department, at least a squad leader!"

"Did you see that? He is surrounded by Qi. Although he looks a little awkward, he is obviously a Qi Refiner at the 'Tongmai' level."

"Damn it, it's just a dispute between two beast tamers who are not even at the beast hunting level, but they actually attracted this giant Buddha..."

"Who said it wasn't? These two are in big trouble..."

Listening to the whispers of the people around him, he stood at the end of his spear and looked down at the two beast tamers, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"A wild beast, and another that can barely be considered a hunting beast, what gives you the courage to run wild in the Central City?"

The two who were almost in a fight just now had pale faces now. The frightened beastmaster had already withdrawn. The two stood aside like elementary school students who had done something wrong, waiting for their punishment.

Mingli and the other two who watched the whole process all thought that the person from the Law Enforcement Department was very cool.

"Brother Yumu, is that the Qi Refiner?" The youngest girl, Xiaochao, asked Yumu who was standing beside her.

"Yes, that's a Qi Refiner, a very strong Qi Refiner," Yumu nodded, his tone full of yearning.

"I want to be a Qi Refiner, too!" As a little boy, Zhan Gao was obviously even more excited. He thought that would be so cool.

"It doesn't matter. When you are ten years old and have passed the physique test, you can see if you can become a Qi Refiner." Yumu joked, patted Xiaochao's head, and said

"Okay, go back quickly, we need to eat later."

"Ok!"

The three children walked towards the orphanage together. On the way, Zhan Gao was still excitedly discussing what had just happened.

"Ming Li, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Zhan Gao said excitedly and then asked Ming Li

"Me? I think as long as I go to a good school and have a job, that's all," Ming Li thought about what his grandmother said to him when he left.

"That's too boring. What's the point of living like that? It's so cool to be a Qi Refiner!" Zhan Gao was very disdainful of Ming Li's wish, and Ming Li didn't say much.

Before the sun set, the four of them finally returned to the orphanage. After Mingli finished his meal and washed up, he went back to his room to sleep.

Now there are not many children, so there is always an empty room. Mingli likes to think quietly in her room. Recently, she always has hallucinations. She can see an egg, which is about 1.8 meters high. She can't understand what this is.

dong dong dong~

A knock on the door suddenly came, bringing Mingli back to her senses. She ran over to open the door and found that it was the dean.

"Dean, is there anything I can help you with?" Ming Li asked the dean to come in and sit on the bed.

"Ming Li, you have been in the orphanage for almost two years, right?" Dean Chen Ye said, moving a stool and sitting down.

"Well, that's almost it."

“You’re almost graduating from kindergarten.”

"Well, I finished the test today and I passed."

Dean Chen Ye nodded happily and said, "So now, do you still want to return to a family?"

Mingli didn't quite understand what the dean meant, so she asked, "Go back to your family?"

"Tomorrow a couple will come to adopt a child. They only want a girl, and she can't be too old. I think you are the most suitable one," said Dean Chen Ye, and then introduced

"The couple lived in Luoyu Mansion in the central city. The husband was a government official and the wife was a teacher. They had a son and a little daughter and lived a comfortable life."

After Dean Chen Ye finished his introduction, he looked at Ming Li and saw that she didn't show much expression. He sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, wait until they come tomorrow and you guys get familiar with them."

In a blink of an eye, the night passes and the next morning arrives

: in the morning

Ming Li had just gotten up when he saw a car that looked expensive parked in front of the orphanage. A man and a woman in casual clothes got out of the car. They were talking happily with Director Chen Ye.

After washing up as usual, Mingli went downstairs. When the dean saw her, he called her over and introduced her to the two people in front of him.

"Mr. Su, Ms. Chen, this is the child I want to introduce to you."

"This child is called Mingli, he has no surname, and he is an orphan found in the Central City District," Chen Ye said, pulling Mingli around for a while.

"She is very healthy, well behaved, and sensible. She is also very perceptive at a young age and has a good sense of spiritual power."

After Chen Ye's introduction, the two couples also became interested in Ming Li.

Mrs. Chen squatted down with Mingli. She held Mingli's face, stared at him for a long time and said slowly, "This child has golden eyes and looks very good."

"Are you willing to come with us? From now on, your surname will be Su."

Mingli looked at the Su family couple beside him and nodded. His golden eyes flashed with the image of Grandma Li and her words: "Live on!"

“I’m willing to go with you”

"Okay." Su Lin smiled, took Ming Li's hand and stood up.

"Then let's go and get you an ID card."
