[Congratulations to the Host for a successful marriage! You have received a Mid-Golden Stage Advancement Card!]
Ye Yunyi stared at the holographic screen.
He was stunned.
’Holy cow!’
’They’re giving these out now?!’
’Use it!’
’Why wouldn’t I use a freebie right away?!’
With a single thought, a potent surge of power flooded into Ye Yunyi’s body.
The sensation was truly wonderful.
Ye Yunyi immediately checked his attribute panel.
[Name: Ye Yunyi]
[Height: 185cm]
[Tier: Mid-Golden Stage]
[Skills: Rapid Absorption, Divine-level Hunting Skill, First Stage of Nine Nether Qi, Divine-level Body Technique]
[Weapon: Tier One War Axe]
Just as he thought!
This feeling of power wasn’t an illusion.
Then, another screen popped up.
[Congratulations to the Host’s wife for a successful pregnancy! You have been rewarded with 20 Divine-level Exotic Beast Control Pills!]
[Divine-level Exotic Beast Control Pill: Effective on Exotic Beasts below the Star Tier! The Host must make the Exotic Beast ingest the pill for it to take effect. After swallowing the pill, the Exotic Beast will obey the Host’s commands!]
’Oh?’
’This thing... it’s not bad at all!’
’Effective on any Exotic Beast below the Star Tier!’
However, there was one condition: he had to make the Exotic Beast swallow it.
But Exotic Beasts weren’t stupid, especially High Level ones.
How could they possibly swallow a pill obediently?
This meant you had to beat it into submission first, then force it to swallow the pill.
The item was good, but its use was still predicated on having enough strength.
Ye Yunyi pulled up his attribute panel again.
[Name: Ye Yunyi]
[Height: 185cm]
[Tier: Mid-Golden Stage]
[Skills: Rapid Absorption, Divine-level Hunting Skill, First Stage of Nine Nether Qi, Divine-level Body Technique]
[Weapon: Tier One War Axe]
[Artifacts: 20x Divine-level Exotic Beast Control Pill]
An "Artifacts" section had appeared!
Looking at these rewards and thinking about the other girls waiting for him, Ye Yunyi couldn’t help but hum a little tune.
Not only did being a new groom every night feel great, but the rewards were also amazing.
「At the same time.」
In the City Lord’s residence.
Bai Zhixi gazed at her sister, who was growing weaker by the day on the bed.
For the past few days, she had been deep in thought, waiting for any new information from the trading post.
But the Mutants hadn’t found any new ’hot-natured’ medicines.
Even though she had increased the bounty, her efforts yielded no results.
Furthermore, the Divine-level Fire Dragon Fruit, guarded by the Crimson Flame Tiger, was a place none of those Mutants dared to go.
No matter how much she raised the bounty, no one would budge.
It was tantamount to suicide.
She looked at her sister. ’There might only be one path left!’
Clenching her fists, she walked out the door.
「On the other side.」
In another room.
Little Heizi looked at the flesh and blood that had been completely devoured in the room, then glanced at his own empty stomach.
He let out a howl.
AWOOO—!
The sound echoed in all directions.
Then, it smashed straight through the wooden door of the room.
And headed for Ye Yunyi’s villa!
Along the way, the survivors and Mutants it passed were all stunned.
’Is that... an Exotic Beast?!’
They were just about to attack!
But the next moment!
They couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the dog’s shadow!
Let alone make a move!
’So fast!’
In an instant, the Mutants’ eyes went wide, unable to believe what they were seeing.
’How can an Exotic Beast be this fast?!’
Even compared to a Wind-Chasing Leopard, the difference was night and day!
A Wind-Chasing Leopard was no match for it at all!
They watched Little Heizi disappear into the distance.
Then they saw it leap into Ye Yunyi’s villa!
They were instantly stunned.
’What?! It went into Lord Ye’s villa?’
’Is that an Exotic Beast raised by Lord Ye?!’
At that, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
’Good thing we didn’t attack. If we had injured Lord Ye’s Exotic Beast...’
’Then...’
But on second thought, it wasn’t like they were any match for that Exotic Beast anyway.
They were completely dumbfounded.
Back at the villa, Ye Yunyi was watering the plants in his garden.
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow rushing toward him!
He kicked off the ground and shot forward, grabbing at the shadow!
In an instant, he had pinned the black figure to the ground!
He then took a closer look.
’This is... Little Heizi?!’
It took Ye Yunyi a few seconds to recognize him.
This guy looked completely different from when he’d been sent to the room full of flesh and blood a few days ago!
He now radiated a ferocious aura!
His body had grown significantly, now the size of a German shepherd.
His teeth were sharp, practically gleaming with a cold light.
His fur was standing on end!
The bristling hairs were like steel needles.
Of course, they had no effect on Ye Yunyi.
Ye Yunyi looked at the creature.
A holographic screen then rose above its head.
[Species: Moon-Devouring Celestial Wolf]
[Bloodline: Pure]
[Tier: Late-Silver Stage]
’Hmm?’
’Late-Silver Stage?’
’This guy advances pretty quickly.’
Ye Yunyi glanced at its shrunken belly and realized it had finished all the flesh and blood and was back for more food.
Just then, Zhou Huaiwei and the two Han sisters came out.
They saw Ye Yunyi pinning Little Heizi down.
"Honey, what a big dog!" Zhou Huaiwei was confused. ’Where did this German shepherd come from?’ She studied it for a moment and seemed to realize something. "Wait! Those eyes... Is that... Little Heizi?"
Hearing Zhou Huaiwei call his name, Little Heizi whimpered twice.
Han Bingxue and Han Bingyu hurried over as well.
They stared, their faces filled with shock.
"How did he get so big in just a few days?"
"How did he grow so fast?"
Seeing their astonished expressions, Ye Yunyi released Little Heizi, who then trotted over to the three women.
As the three of them started petting the dog, they marveled at the change.
"Because he’s an Exotic Beast!"
Ye Yunyi said, thinking to himself, ’Not only is he an Exotic Beast, but he’s also an incredibly powerful one!’
An Exotic Beast?! The three women were stunned when they heard this.
"An Exotic Beast?!"
A confused voice came from behind them.
A girl came out, steadying herself against the wall.
She looked at Little Heizi with a frightened expression.
Little Heizi sized up the girl, then caught Ye Yunyi’s scent on her.
It immediately lowered its guard.
"It’s okay, little sister. This is Honey’s pet. He ran off somewhere a few days ago."
"He’s very well-behaved! Come and pet him!"
"Come on, let’s pet the dog together!"
...
Then, Zhou Huaiwei pulled her over.
The girl also started petting him.
As Ye Yunyi watched them, he sensed someone had arrived outside the villa.
He looked over.
He saw Bai Zhixi standing outside the villa.
She peered inside.
The banquet decorations in the villa hadn’t been taken down yet.
’After all, there are still a few more girls to go!’
Bai Zhixi gritted her teeth.
She stood there silently.
"City Lord?"
The girl who had just knelt down to pet the dog called out when she saw Bai Zhixi.
Zhou Huaiwei and the others noticed her too.
’I wonder what the City Lord wants, coming here?’
Bai Zhixi looked at Ye Yunyi, her fists clenched. "I... I agree! When can you go with me into the deep jungle?"
