The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

A’Meng’s smug look disappeared. With a nervous face, he rubbed his contract beast’s head. The wolfhound whimpered and rubbed against him. His eyes and nose were red and looked extra pitiful. A’Meng was distraught, and yelled angrily at Xie Sen, “How dare you use poison!” 

“It’s not poison, but it will be very hard if it’s not treated in time.” Xie Sen explained.

A’Meng immediately asked, “How to deal with it?”

Xie Sen didn’t answer directly, but asked, “Our sparring is sort of over, right?”

A’Meng was reluctant, but there was a sense of empathy between a bonded master and their beast. He could feel his contract beast was very hard put. He gritted his teeth and nodded. “Yes, you win. Tell me how to make it not difficult.”

“You take him to swim in the water. Remember to bury his head in the water, swim faster, and a little longer. If you have a cooling ointment, it can be rubbed on the affected area.”

A’Meng let his contract beast into the contracted space, turned and left the stage.

When A’Meng left the arena, someone asked Xie Sen curiously, “What is that thing beside you?”

Xie Sen took the chili pepper bush back, smiled and didn’t answer. He looked to where Maine was standing before, but he didn’t see anyone. He didn’t know when Maine had left. He quickly stepped down from the stage. The students around him were shocked by his inexplicable moves just now, so no one stopped him, and they automatically made way.

Some people kept whispering about what the pepper bush was. Some even speculated that it was a new weapon, which Xie Sen couldn’t help but laugh at. The people here knew too little about plants, especially edible plants.

“Wow, did you see? Maine just came to see the fun! He’s really handsome!”

Xie Sen heard the familiar name, and subconsciously inclined his head to look over. He saw a Beast Star body that belonged to a petite boy being embraced by a light blond boy. HIs eyes were glowing.

“What’s the point of being handsome? He’s an abandoned bastard. Otherwise, with his Cox surname, why would he come to our school?” The light blonde boy nudged the other boy’s forehead with his finger. “Don’t be silly. You’re the most popular long-eared rabbit contract beast female. There are so many better people to choose from than him.”

The boy sighed in disappointment. “If he wasn’t a bastard, I would have married him.”

Xie Sen gave a jolt, hurriedly turned his head, and walked quickly towards the outside of the school. Having seen a boy talk about marrying someone was too much of a stimulus for him. He was now very thankful that he hadn’t awakened a contract beast. He didn’t want to be treated as a female. He had been a male for years, and had never thought of switching genders.

Shortly after leaving the arena, his shoulder was suddenly grabbed from behind. He subconsciously took a step to the side, lowered his shoulders and pulled away. He turned his head, and was greeted by a face that was leaning extremely close, a face that was too close to see, just full of white wobbly teeth.

“Hey, it’s really you.” A vibrant teenage voice with some incredulity. “Aren’t you dead?”

Xie Sen froze, then took two steps back. Only then did he get a good look at the teenager. It was the same dark-haired, doll-faced teenager who had approached the arena to watch.

He was about 1.93 meters tall and thin, but his arms were muscular outside his T-shirt, not weak.

“I was just injured, but I’ve recovered now.” Xie Sen, unsure of what he had done as his predecessor, explained politely.
