At this mont.
Chaotic shadows erged from nearby, transforming into an Enchanting Demoness Officer clad in black armor. Her figure was fiery, and her crimson eyes gazed fervently at Chen Xi.
"Princess, the army has assembled. Shall we depart?"
Chen Xi squinted slightly, a brilliant purple light emanating from her. Her whole body twisted, undergoing a mystical transformation.
Her silky black hair surged wildly. Two ivory-like white horns protruded from her head, coiling and intertwining to form a White Bone Crown.
The surroundings transford dramatically. White bones were piled high, skeletal remains scattered everywhere. A row of sinister torture devices glinted sharply atop racks made of skeletons.
She slowly rose. Her slender hands slipped on white lace gloves as she donned a pure white gown. Her delicate violet eyes revealed a hint of dangerous light.
"The Divine War begins. I wonder how much pleasure tonight will bring ."
...
「Inside the car.」
The warmth of spring seed to bloom, and the air was filled with a sweet, honeyed fragrance.
After tidying everything up, Chu Yi and Lias sat together in silence, only the sound of slightly heavy breaths lingering in the car.
"You, we... Hmph. There won’t be a next ti."
The blonde-haired girl’s jade-like cheeks were slightly flushed. Her delicate lips parted slightly, exhaling warm air as she hugged a doll, burying her face in it, utterly mortified.
She, she actually...
"Young Miss, I really like your gift."
Chu Yi wiped the sweet fragrance from the corner of his mouth and took her hand. His large hand gently caressed hers, feeling the warmth in her palm, as if connecting their hearts.
"I’m glad you like it..."
Lias stamred, a sweet feeling blooming in her heart. "Stay away from . Just... just let be for a mont."
"Alright."
Feeling invigorated, Chu Yi smiled and gently brushed his adoptive sister’s hair. Then, he opened his Star Bracelet to deal with a slew of incoming ssages.
Sure enough.
Since he had slain that Evil God Beast Tar, the factions that had been threatening him to surrender the King’s Cub all claid they were just joking and backed off. However, so stubborn ones still spewed insults.
Chu Yi ignored these trolls. It must be orchestrated by so faction—perhaps a Beast Taming Family, the Evil God Sect, or a Loose Cultivator Organization—plotting to snatch the King’s Cub.
"Huh? Maternal Grandfather sent a ssage?" Chu Yi was surprised.
His Star Bracelet was crafted by the Qin Group and had special communication channels.
Qin Zheng first expressed concern for Chu Yi’s condition and ntioned he was preparing to dispatch cultivation resources to the villa. Lastly, he inquired about when Chu Yi and Qiuyun might marry, as the old man hoped to hold a great-grandson.
Chu Yi glanced at Lias, who was still burying her face in a doll, pretending to be dead. He smiled faintly and casually typed a response.
Next was a ssage from his precious daughter.
The next line contained a screenshot. It showed a gigantic flower perched over the pond in the courtyard, its vines sprawling outward. The flower was erupting with a magnificent stream of essence, accompanied by an emoji expressing shock.
[Daughter]: Chu Yi, what’s happening with Lulina? Is she evolving?
[Little Fox]: How audacious! Daring to address the Master by his na? You’re fired tomorrow.
[Daughter]: ...
The Star Bracelet on the other end went silent for a mont.
Chu Yi didn’t need to see to know his precious daughter was likely fuming.
[Daughter]: BOO HOO... I’m sorry, Master! Qiuyun didn’t an it! I beg you, please don’t fire . I can’t afford to lose this job.
[Daughter]: At ho, I also have my maternal grandfather to take care of. He was in a car accident that left him a high-level quadriplegic. He’s old, his mind isn’t clear, and he’s in his twilight years. If I lose this job and have no money, Qiuyun will have to drag Grandfather through the streets, and we’ll starve to death under a bridge... BOO HOO...
Isn’t this role-playing a bit much? And being so harsh on her own grandfather? Could she suspect that her becoming younger was Qin Zheng’s doing?
The corner of Chu Yi’s mouth twitched as he replied to the ssage.
[Little Fox]: Seeing as you’re so filial towards your grandfather, this Master will rcifully forgive you this once. Don’t let there be a next ti.
After he sent it, the other end was silent for a while.
[Daughter]: Thankies, Master! I’ll definitely work hard and save up my pennies to give that old coot a grand funeral!
[Little Fox]: So filial. If your grandfather knew, he’d definitely be unable to rest in peace.
[Daughter]: (Sent an emoji of an obedient child)
...
「Courtyard.」
Lush green vines coiled around, their roots delving deep into the earth. The branches and leaves wriggled slowly, revealing three magnificent flower buds within. Petals tightly closed, they opened and shut, inhaling and exhaling astonishing streams of essence, stirring up destructive shockwaves of energy.
The void seed ignited by flas, distorting vision. This was because the flower’s life magnetic field was too vast and its spiritual aura too potent, already beginning to interfere with reality.
And not far away, a black-haired young maid was gritting her teeth, her slender fingers typing furiously on her Star Bracelet. She suppressed her indignation, ultimately choosing to compromise and indulge the other party’s strange quirk.
I must endure this humiliation for now. Once I resolve the issues with my body, I’ll definitely stay far, far away from you!
Beside her, an Earth Worm stared dumbly at the scene. Is this Lulina? The Wood-elent Pet Beast that used to follow around?
It looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, its face full of lancholy. How did it suddenly evolve so smoothly?
The Eagle burst into loud cries.
"This imposing aura is already comparable to the War General level, and it’s still rising steadily! Chu Yi, what secrets have you been hiding?"
Putting down her Star Bracelet, Jiang Qiuyun gazed at the Pet Beast, which now seed unfamiliar. It resembled a giant Rafflesia flower. A breeze ruffled her black hair, making her look charmingly cute.
"The first one is a King’s Cub. It evolved from a lowly Red Fox to a Three-Tailed Mo Xie, and then to a Crown Fla Six-Tailed Fox."
"The second one has also undergone a mutated evolution. Plus, there was that cotton candy I fed it that night... Could it be..."
A bold idea struck her. His Beast Taming Talent... it allows Pet Beasts to undergo Mutated Evolution! She unconsciously murmured, "No, it’s *continuous* Mutated Evolution!"
This bold hypothesis left Jiang Qiuyun dumbfounded.
If this is true, then Chu Yi’s value would be imasurable! He could create King Pet Beasts, establish multiple new King-level clans... This is practically a miracle!
In the next mont, Jiang Qiuyun laughed at herself. Although a Beast Taming Talent like that is rare, this would involve the abilities of a creator. It can’t be *that* exaggerated, can it?
Glancing at her Eagle, Jiang Qiuyun hesitated for a mont, then her gaze beca resolute.
I want to ask Chu Yi to help the Dragon Eagle evolve too.
...
「The sun sank below the horizon, its last glimr of light fading as night began to drape over the sky.」
The luxury car drove towards the city’s outskirts, advancing down a dark road where a grayish fog began to engulf them.
"I don’t think I’ve seen this place before."
Chu Yi stared at the fog outside. It gave him a bizarre, phantasmagorical sensation, as if he had been transported to another dinsion.
In his mories, before attending Star Dragon Academy, he had lived in his adoptive father’s castle, where he was treated sowhat like a young master.
A kind adoptive father, a proud adoptive sister, respectful servants, an exquisite dining table, a warm fireplace...
Although he was orphaned at a young age, his adoptive father’s family had treated him well.
And yet...
Why does it feel like my mories are concealing sothing? Doesn’t all of this seem a little too... normal?
