Chapter 60 - 60 Aloy’s Talent
60 Aloy’s Talent
However, the feeling that this Ice Spirit gave off was clearly different from before.
The Ice Spirit from earlier had been covered in frost and ice crystals. But at this moment, the Ice Spirit’s body was completely clean, and there was nothing else except for the sparks of electric current in its fur.
“What’s with this Ice Spirit?” Shen Fei frowned as he curiously evaluated the Ice Spirit.
Aloy smiled lightly and said to Shen Fei, “This is my talent, the A-class Attribute Conversion.”
Aloy clapped her hands to demonstrate. In an instant, the electric arcs on the Ice Spirit’s body disappeared. Green sprouts slowly grew out from the ends of its fur, intertwining to form a cloak of sprouts that covered the fur. The snow leopard yawned lazily and lay down on the ground, sleeping on the sprout cloak.
“As you can see, my ability allows me to freely change the attribute of a spirit beast to another attribute. I used this move to allow the Ice Spirit to transform into a lightning attribute. It helped you turn the situation around by making those four cooling devices short-circuit and turn them into heating devices.”
“I see.” Shen Fei nodded his head in understanding.
“However, there are many limitations to my ability. For example, my ability can only be used on my own spirit beast. It is ineffective on anyone else’s spirit beasts.” Aloy pointed to the Flame Owl beside Shen Fei. The Flame Owl turned its head and groomed its own feathers.
“My ability is useless against a spirit beast that has already been contracted, but if it’s a spirit beast without an owner, that’s not necessarily the case.”
At this point, Aloy pointed at the Woodstride Wolf in the glass cage. She suddenly clenched her fist and a pink flower suddenly bloomed on the Woodstride Wolf’s forehead.
“This is the difference... Hey, wake up. We’re leaving.” Aloy reached out and nipped the round ears of the sleeping Ice Spirit. It was so startled that it bolted up and quickly covered its ears to hide them. “Sigh, then don’t make me use this kind of method to urge you.”
With an exasperated expression, Aloy reached out and opened a crack leading to her pocket realm.
“Hurry up and get in. You can sleep once you’re inside.”
The Ice Spirit slowly came to the entrance of the pocket realm. It sniffed at the entrance of the realm, stretched, and then fell asleep right in front of it.
“Zzzz...”
Aloy looked at her spirit beast in annoyance. “It has its own personality...”
“I can tell.” Shen Fei’s lips curved upward as he took the initiative to grasp Aloy’s arm.
However, just as the two of them were about to leave...
The snow leopard that had been lying lazily on the ground suddenly stood up. It raised its head and looked vigilantly at everything above it.
‘Wait a minute! There are people around!’
Aloy followed the Ice Spirit’s gaze and reflexively looked up.
Thwip!
Three sharp darts suddenly shot out from above.
“Aloy, be careful.” Shen Fei subconsciously reacted and flew forward, immediately pushing Aloy to the ground!
Crack!
The three darts glinted and instantly hit the glass cage behind them, leaving a huge crack where they struck.
“Are you alright?” Shen Fei looked at Aloy with concern.
Aloy was silent for a long moment. She then turned her face and said to Shen Fei through gritted teeth, “You’re crushing me to death. Get off me first.”
“Sorry!” Shen Fei quickly got up from Aloy. The atmosphere became a little awkward.
Being suddenly pressed down like this, Aloy’s expression became unhappy.
“The person who shot the darts just now, he, he...” Aloy calmed her thoughts and recalled the details.
“What?” Shen Fei frowned in confusion.
“The person who ambushed us just now seemed to be wearing yellow pants and brown clothes.” Aloy frowned and rubbed her temples as she tried to recall their attacker. “There were also black shoes, but the face was too fast for me to see clearly.”
Aloy looked at Shen Fei. “That person also seemed to be slightly taller than you. I’m not sure if that person is targeting you or me. Why don’t you stay in the mayor’s mansion for a few days?”
Aloy looked at Shen Fei with a bit of worry. “The mayor’s mansion is heavily guarded. Not even a fly could get past our security, so you should lie low for now.”
“No, I won’t.” Shen Fei shook his head. He still could not figure out the Gelin family’s attitude towards him.
Although his grandfather and the mayor were old acquaintances, the mayor had only come to their house once as long as Shen Fei could remember.
It was also unlikely that Shen Fei and the mayor would be close. As a future son-in-law who would marry into his family, Shen Fei should stay away from his future father-in-law.
“Let’s talk about this later. I’m fine now anyway.” Shen Fei patted Aloy’s shoulder in relief.
“You don’t have to worry about safety. The security around the Shen residence is also very good. Even thieves can’t be bothered with us, so there’s no security issue.”
“Pfft.” Aloy blinked her eyes and could not help but laugh. “In that case, you can take care of yourself. But I have to say this first. If you feel that it’s dangerous, you should move in with me. The mayor’s mansion also has many empty rooms for you.”
“Alright, alright, I got it.” Shen Fei waved his hand and turned to the side. He opened the door to the outside world.
He was not used to seeing such a big change in Aloy’s attitude.
“Come on. Let’s go home.”
“Yes.”
The two of them walked hand-in-hand out of the beast breeding institute.
Shen Fei was the first to open the car door. “Let’s go.” Aloy went straight inside.
As soon as she entered the car, she realized that there was another person in the car besides the butler.
“Oh, miss, you’re back. I have something to tell you.”
When the butler saw Aloy, he immediately pointed at the person in the front passenger seat.
“Your uncle suddenly appeared here just now and asked me to give him a ride. He wants to return to the mayor’s mansion to stay for a few days.”
Aloy frowned. “When did uncle return?”
“Aly, I came back early this morning.” Lear eyed Aloy with ill intentions, a frivolous smile hanging on his lips.
Aloy subconsciously avoided his gaze. She immediately noticed the pair of black shoes on his feet.
“Hm?” Aloy was shocked. ‘Aren’t these the black shoes that the person who shot the darts at Shen Fei was wearing?’
They were of the same color, and there was a white spot at the tip of each shoe. However, she could not just rely on his shoes to make her conclusion.
Even though she did not really want to have direct contact with him, she still resisted her disgust and raised her head.
Sure enough, the moment she raised her head, Aloy saw a little yellow spot hidden under his collar.
‘He’s the one who had ambushed us!’
