Before Gao Peng even took two steps, one of the voices said from across the flower bed, "Oi, the duck's mad . It tried to attack me!"

"Careful now . It's still a monster . However ridiculous it looks, it's not something we can deal with on our own . "

"Chill, I have my familiar with me . . . "

Boom!

Something heavy fell to the ground, followed by Goldie's angry quacking and someone's dog yelping .

"Brother Chai, you all right?"

"I'm all right . Help me up, quick . The duck tried to kick me! Thank G.o.d I moved out of the way in time . "

"Li Xiao, quick, get that duck under control with your familiar . "

"Not interested . You guys picked on it first . Let's just go get breakfast . Why are we even trying to pick a fight with a duck in the first place, anyway?" said a voice with a heavy Yuzhou accent .

When Gao Peng finally made his way across the flower bed, he saw the peculiar sight of a yellow duck riding on a Snow Lion Mastiff's back, giving it the thras.h.i.+ng of its life .

It was a Level-19 Excellent-grade Snow Lion Mastiff .

Even without triggering Goldie's pa.s.sive ability, the Snow Lion Mastiff wasn't a match for the duck, simply in terms of pure physical strength .

Even a Commander-tier monster would have been beaten within an inch of its life by the Level-16 Goldie if the fight continued any longer .

Goldie was furious, extremely furious .

It had always thought of itself as a typical Adamantine Duck .

However, Goldie had grown insecure after losing its yellow feathers .

Any self-respecting duck would never allow itself to be stripped of its feathers . They were, after all, an essential part of its ident.i.ty . Only ducks stuffed inside the freezer could go without their feathers .

After much fervent pleading, Goldie had finally managed to convince Ji Hanwu to have a yellow feather coat made for it .

When it put on the feather coat, Goldie felt glamorous, as if it had regained its feathers .

While it had been playing by itself, it had suddenly spotted a black, juicy-looking beetle in the gra.s.s .

As it had chased after the beetle in the flower bed, a huge foot had come out of nowhere and stomped on it .

Not at all fazed by this, Goldie had simply waited for the foot to move out of the way so that it could feast on whatever remained of its prey .

However, the group of people who had come to a halt before Goldie had suddenly pulled off its coat!

"Mine! It's mine!" Goldie quacked angrily . It had begun beating the Snow Lion Mastiff until its face was all red . Tufts of fur had fallen off it as well .

No one had believed what they were seeing . Chai Guangming had been especially shocked by this, as the Snow Lion Mastiff that was being beaten to a pulp by the yellow duck was his familiar .

"Stop, you filthy duck!" shouted Guangming .

Goldie shot him a dirty look from the corner of its eye . You're the one who took my coat . Don't worry, you'll get yours once I'm done with this .

"Quack!" Goldie sharply swung its head down and struck its beak hard on the mastiff's head, knocking it out instantly .

Goldie then menacingly waddled towards Chai Guangming, its naked body rippling with muscles .

Its webbed feet made crunching sounds on the ground with each step it took .

"All right, show some mercy, duck . I'll tell him to give you back your coat . " said Li Xiao, who was wearing an oversized white t-s.h.i.+rt .

"Does the duck look like the merciful kind? Goldie, beat him up," said Gao Peng coldly . He had stepped out of the flower bed and was now hatefully looking at Chai Guangming, who was still holding onto Goldie's coat . Gao Peng was able to grasp what was going on through his Blood Contract with Goldie .

Only he himself was allowed to tease his familiars . The guy named Chai Guangming had absolutely no right to take Goldie's coat from it and then mock its appearance like that .

Then there was the other guy in the white t-s.h.i.+rt . He had done absolutely nothing to help Goldie . What right did he have to order Goldie around?

"Gao Peng?" Everyone's faces froze . They all recognized him .

Ever since what had happened last time, lots of people in the university had looked into Gao Peng's background and were now aware of who he was .

"We didn't know it was your familiar . . . " Li Xiao tried to explain .

"I didn't know it was all right to bully familiars that aren't yours," said Gao Peng coldly .

He noticed Li Xiao's familiar, a 10-foot-long lizard, standing behind him . Its limbs were long and slender, its eyes bright, and there was a crown of red jewels on its head .

[Monster Name]: Red Jewel Lizard King

[Monster Level]: Level 21 (Commander-tier)

[Monster Grade]: Excellent

[Monster Attribute]: Wood/Poison

[Monster Weakness]: 1 . Fire 2 . Gold

"I'll call us even if you let your lizard fight my duck," said Gao Peng .

"Ah?" The others looked at each other, then looked at Goldie . Could this duck really be a Commander-tier familiar?

Lord-tier monsters could be identified by a glow around them, while monsters below Lord-tier could only be recognized by their auras .

Monster trainers usually had to rely on their monsters' more acute senses to understand the strengths and weaknesses of other monsters .

"Master, I'm getting a strange vibe from the duck . However, I don't think it's a Commander-tier monster," the Red Jewel Lizard King said to Li Xiao .

Li Xiao felt more rea.s.sured by this .

However, he feared that Gao Peng would hold it against him if his duck lost to his lizard . Li Xiao wasn't so confident about taking on the challenge .

If he won the fight, he would probably incur Gao Peng's wrath . If he lost, he would have to live with the shame of having a Commander-tier monster that had lost to a duck .

After much thinking, Li Xiao came to a decision . "No, I won't fight . "

He then said to the other two, "This had nothing to do with me . I tried to tell you guys not to mess with the duck . Fix your own problems . I'm going to get breakfast . " Then Li Xiao walked away with his familiar .

After watching Li Xiao walk away, the other two looked at each other and apologized to Goldie as they gave it back its coat .

"Quack!" Goldie grumpily quacked at them . It then lifted its wings up, letting the humans before it know that they had its permission to put its coat back on it .

A strange thought occurred to Gao Peng . Why do I feel like I'm the bully here? Goldie's the one who was being bullied by them .

. . . . Before Gao Peng even took two steps, one of the voices said from across the flower bed, Oi, the ducks mad . It tried to attack me! Careful now . Its still a monster .
