Hate me, Miss Witch!-Chapter 449 - 225: Silver: Master, Save Me! (2-in-1) (Part 2)
Of course, the most important point is that the most famous among the Pet Beasts, the rolled-back dog Silver Spirit Crimson, secretly ran off to the Western Continent for training.
Without the usual diligent supervision and reminders by Crimson, the Pet Beasts in Shiayar’s Soul Pact Space immediately reverted to a dormant state of laziness.
Apart from playing cute in front of their master and the various female leads, the Pet Beasts’ greatest pleasure was trading stocks.
The stock market set up by the Pet Beasts for Shiayar is not what it used to be. With the entry of several new female leads, even their old colleague, the Dragon of the Night, has officially entered the market, making the stock market situation extremely complex and volatile, to say the least.
Whenever Shiayar finds himself in a Shura Field surrounded by multiple women, it’s the Pet Beasts’ favorite period, where they all sit up with little stools and popcorn, watching the market closely for fear of missing any exciting moment.
Among the Pet Beasts, some are winning big and raking in piles of cash, while others suffer great losses — it’s quite lively.
Jayee, being both the dealer, market maker, and investor, is naturally the primary supervisor of this grand entertainment event amongst the Pet Beasts.
Of course, for Jayee, training complex stock market prediction models is already an excellent exercise for her, being an artificial intelligence.
Speculating on human intentions and understanding humans is, in itself, the greatest test for the intelligence upgrade of artificial intelligence.
Achoo —
A synthesized mechanical sound of a sneeze echoed from Jayee’s Sound Transmission Rune.
The Metal Fairy rubbed her nose anthropomorphically, somewhat puzzled, peeking outside the Soul Pact Space.
Why did she suddenly have an ominous premonition of being petted excessively?
However, she quickly dismissed this premonition.
A stream of phantom information quickly flowed out of Jayee’s thoughts, using Shiayar’s Soul Pact as a medium, transmitting swiftly to the Soul Pact Space where the other Pet Beasts dwelled.
"The market’s open! The market’s open!"
After a moment of silence, buzzing noises erupted everywhere.
"Ying ying ying! (Has the stock market software finally been updated?)"
"Chirp chirp, chirp! (Back in the day, Chen Daozi turned 20 bucks into 25 million; today, I, Golden Sparkle, will turn 200,000 into 5 million, no problem!)"
"Sss sss sss! (Shiny, wake up, you don’t have any ’Golden Rule’ skill points; last time, you lost so much you didn’t have any underwear left.)"
...
Shiayar naturally wasn’t too aware of the tricks his Pet Beasts were up to.
He only knew his Pet Beasts secretly built a number of small groups for communication using the Soul Pact and spiritual power, naming them quite seriously with titles like "Investment Exchange Group 1," "Gambling Fanatics Group," "Western Continent Stock God Group," "Ennie Stock Tops the Heavens," "Witch Shares Immortal."
Although Shiayar was curious about how his few Pet Beasts, totaling five or six counting the Little Prison Cup and Snakey, could form a dozen different member groups.
But adhering to the principle of preserving the Pet Beasts’ privacy space, Shiayar refrained from interfering too much with their private interactions.
If he found out, while entangled in the deadly Shura field, that this group of fun-pets was secretly eating popcorn, observing, and trading stocks based on him, Shiayar would probably give each of them a hundred more head rubs.
Of course, at this moment, Shiayar did not pay any heed to the echoes of his Pet Beasts’ fun-pet antics.
In front of him, the onslaught of the girl in the black dress continued unabated.
"Even though I have a name like Augutina now, occupying a position in the Western Continent... you’re still not calling me by my name but using the nickname from when I was a Pet Beast."
Augutina’s crimson-gold dragon eyes grew more mischievous.
"After all, in the dream I wove, you posed with heroic righteousness."
"But deep down, my Master is still a strange person shivering with excitement, wanting to keep the exalted Queen of the Night as a Pet Beast to pamper and tease."
"I don’t particularly mind; if my Master wants some rarely-seen pet training play, I can do it anytime."
Shiayar shook his head, feeling that the lingering weakness and dizziness from his long slumber had lessened significantly thanks to Augutina’s performance before him.
To be honest —
After clarifying his relationship with the girl in front of him...
Re-exploring the identities of Beastmaster and Pet Beast... he indeed found it quite exciting.
Just thinking about it feels so tingling. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Unfortunately, now is not the right time.
Shiayar coughed lightly, glancing from the corner of his eye at the Pure Silver Holy Lance not far away, shrouded in layers of ancient mystery, just like himself earlier.
Just as Shiayar revived —
This Sacred Spear, accompanying him beside the Ice-Sealed Throne, through long ages, is now starting to awaken as well.
Using the Sacred Spear’s body as a coordinate.
Under Shiayar’s guidance, the mystery surrounding the Sacred Spear is drawing its master to descend here together.
"Next time."
Shiayar shook his head.
He extended his spiritual power and activated his Astral Vision.
Then, he focused all his senses on the mystery surrounding the Sacred Spear.
With his own power, he stabilized the rings of mysterious ripples that the Sacred Spear stirred up.
"Ennie is different from us; she hasn’t had much experience crossing time and space."
"Even with the protection of the Sacred Spear and me as a temporal coordinate to guide the way, I’m still a bit worried she might make a mistake during the crossing."
In Augutina’s crimson gold dragon eyes, a faint trace of disappointment flashed.
But soon, that trace of disappointment flickered and disappeared from her eyes, not lingering long.
"Is that so—"
She smiled slightly.
"If that’s the case... then please look forward to the next night."
Hiss—
Shiayar touched his waist: "You Dragons of the Night really can do whatever you please."
"What can be done about it... "
Augutina’s words were soft and pleasant.
But in her voice, Shiayar distinctly sensed a hint of resentment.
"During the daytime, my master’s time is completely occupied by other women."
"I don’t want to compete, nor do I want to put you in a difficult position because of those matters."
"So after thinking it over, it seems that only in the dreams of the night, can I have the momentary chance to have you all to myself."
This kind of problem is indeed a bit difficult to answer.
But fortunately, Shiayar was already battle-hardened and not new to such situations.
In such circumstances, playing dumb is always the best solution.
His thoughts moved slightly.
Inside the Soul Pact Space, a little white ferret was frantically pressing calculator keys to calculate its profits, when it was suddenly summoned with a bewildered expression.
Silver shook its head, not yet recovered from the thrill of being the stock market ferret, only to find itself in the arms of a girl in a black dress.
Faced with the smiling girl in the black dress and her beautiful crimson gold eyes, Silver sensed something was amiss.
It couldn’t help but recall past memories from over five hundred years ago that it had long forgotten.
Speaking of which... when some young dragon first made a pact with the master, didn’t I, using my boss-lady status, compete with it for the master’s pillow spot?
"Come to think of it, Silver, both you and I specialize in the realm of Illusion Techniques."
"We should have a lot in common to talk about..."
"Although we met before and got to know each other—"
"But back then, that was as a companion, not as your mistress as I am now."
With a kind smile on her lovely face, Augutina held the little white ferret.
"So, let’s get to know each other again, Silver."
"Given my current relationship with Shiayar... we’ll likely have to interact for a long time in the days to come."
She gently stroked Silver’s fur, soothingly cradling the little white ferret in her arms,
leaving only the little white ferret’s fluffy big tail swaying feebly in mid-air.
"Squeak squeak! (Master, save me!)"
