Chapter 327: Water Rabbit

At the end of the bathroom was a statue in the shape of a golden lion's head, and from within the lion's head, a murmuring stream of water was actually spraying out.

The water flow was interspersed with petals of dawn roses, a type of rose that emitted a fresh fragrance like a forest after rain.

The bathtub was filled with wisps of ethereal white steam.

Several whitening fish were swimming about in the bathtub.

When humans entered to bathe, these fish would use their mouths to pierce into the human body and absorb the melanin from within.

However, after Ye Bai's inspection, these fish had not been tampered with by Anjilina.

It was just that while these whitening fish absorbed the melanin from human skin, they would also absorb human blood.

Human blood could not only be used to analyze a person's DNA, but it could also serve as a medium to cast curses.

Therefore, Ye Bai would not let the whitening fish touch his body.

When departing from Yan Country, Principal Maige had given repeated instructions that this competition was very important and he must not fall into the gentle trap of the Beautiful Country.

Ye Bai's main strategy was to listen to advice.

Having contracted Dahui, his body was able to emit a faint Thunder Light.

This Thunder Light fell onto the whitening fish, forcibly shocking them into unconsciousness.

A group of whitening fish floated on the surface of the water in the bathtub.

At this moment, the Demon Bear flapped its wings and flew to the side of the golden lion statue.

It directly patted the golden lion's nose with its chubby little hand.

The golden lion's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Stupid Demon Bear, how many times have I told you, don't pat my nose while I'm working."

The golden lion said angrily.

It was an elemental life form, a Pet Beast similar to a stone lion.

However, this guy had extremely high ornamental value, so it was usually used for exhibitions.

The Demon Bear pointed at Ye Bai behind it; the golden lion realized it had spoken out of turn and quickly shut its mouth.

After the two communicated in Demon language, the golden lion shifted its body, revealing a one-meter-wide circular hole.

The Demon Bear leisurely flapped its wings and flew inside, making a beckoning gesture to Ye Bai.

"It seems this is the secret passage."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up immediately.

It felt like the world where Ha Bo was, quite mysterious.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly transformed into the True Light Goddess Butterfly and flew into the secret passage.

The Nether Wolf lurked in Ye Bai's shadow; it was Ye Bai's personal bodyguard, and if Ye Bai encountered danger, it would immediately rush out from the shadow.

The Shennong Ginseng and the Mirage Dragon appeared in the room.

One mimicked Ye Bai's voice, while the other created a large-scale illusion, making anyone who entered believe that Ye Bai was still staying in the room.

Many Exotic Beasts lived in the passage.

There were pocket-sized bats only the size of a palm.

Although these bats were small, their voices were extremely penetrating; once they opened their mouths, they would emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves.

Upon hearing the high-frequency ultrasonic waves, humans would fall into a state of rapid heartbeat, subsequently leading to cardiac arrest.

However, these pocket-sized bats were very timid and would try every possible way to hide when they saw Exotic Beasts larger than themselves.

Suddenly, a plop sound came from ahead.

Ye Bai saw a snow-white rabbit wearing a blue swimming ring jump and land in front of him with a splat.

Its body instantly scattered, turning into clusters of water splashes.

Subsequently, these water splashes condensed back together, turning into the image of a rabbit.

"A Water Rabbit, to think there is such a rare Pet Beast here."

Water Rabbits were considered a Pet Beast unique to the Beautiful Country; they had very docile personalities and could serve as a primary Pet Beast.

Their status in the Beautiful Country was equivalent to the starter trio in the world of elves.

The Water Rabbit before him had eyes shining with brilliance; it took out a water-blue carrot and stuffed it into its mouth to chew vigorously.

The Demon Bear seemed quite familiar with the Water Rabbit; it waved its little hand at the Water Rabbit.

It took a long time for the Water Rabbit to respond to the Demon Bear.

The Demon Bear flew forward, Ye Bai and the Myriad-Changing Butterfly walked in the middle, while the Water Rabbit followed at a distance, walking neither fast nor slow.

If Ye Bai had just become a Pet Beast Master and encountered a Water Rabbit, he might have contracted it.

Now, for Ye Bai, the Water Rabbit could only be considered a decent Pet Beast.

The entire passage was intricate and complex; if it weren't for Ye Bai having awakened the ability of a Memory Maze, he might have just gotten lost in the passage.

The water rabbit chewed on a carrot in large mouthfuls.

The passage was filled with crunching sounds.

Finally, led by the demon bear, Ye Bai arrived at an exit not far from the lake.

At this time, Ye Bai had already disguised himself; he wore a golden wig, his pupils had turned blue, and speaking fluent foreign language, no one would ever guess he was from Yan Country.

At this moment, somewhere in Xinyue Daxue.

The agents, wearing suits and sunglasses, all lowered their heads, being berated by a certain leader of the intelligence department.

"Are you pigs?"

"I told you to protect Doctor William, and he has gone missing."

"I told you to find the essence of the Philosopher's Stone created by Doctor William; you've been searching for a full half-month, and you haven't even seen a shadow of it."

"You want to anger me to death so you can take my position, right?"

The leader berated them.

An official one rank higher crushes people; these agents, who could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, honestly accepted the leader's reprimands.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing they would be targeted by the leader and fired the next day for stepping into the office with their left foot first.

"Now that many students have come to Xinyue Daxue, it has caused even greater trouble for our work."

"Do you have any good methods to prevent the students inside from taking the essence of the Philosopher's Stone away from here?"

After the leader had scolded until his mouth was dry, he finally stopped.

"Sir, I have a suggestion: we can set up spatial Pet Beasts capable of detection in the main passages of Xinyue Daxue. At the same time, we should send bloodhounds with the most sensitive sense of smell to guard the main passages."

"This way, we can maximize the chances of keeping the essence of the Philosopher's Stone in Xinyue Daxue."

The leader looked at this guy as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Do you have a pig's brain?"

"Isn't that exactly what we are doing now?"

"Please use your brain a little more when you offer an opinion."

The suggestions raised by the agents were all rejected by the leader.

The last agent suggested using a Pet Beast capable of Future Prediction to help them find the essence of the Philosopher's Stone.

The leader was completely speechless; the essence of the Philosopher's Stone was a product that existed outside of space, outside of time, and was not controlled by fate.

He didn't even know how Doctor William had managed to create something that only gods could create.

With such a great creation, how could an ordinary Pet Beast possibly predict the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone?

The leader let out a long sigh.

He waved his hand, telling the agents to continue searching for the whereabouts of the essence of the Philosopher's Stone.

At this very moment, a holy light descended from the sky, turning everything around into broad daylight.

A holy mark appeared between the leader's eyebrows.

His eyes turned into the shape of crosses.

A golden halo and pure white wings appeared one after another.

"Glory Angel."

"How is the search for the Philosopher's Stone going?"

"This is the energy source for us to create angels."

The holy light looked down condescendingly at the Glory Angel.

An intimidating pressure forced the Glory Angel to kneel on the ground.

"Reporting to Lord Throne Angel."

"Currently, I am still searching extensively for the whereabouts of the essence of the Philosopher's Stone."

"Doctor William, who created the essence of the Philosopher's Stone, has gone missing."

"The formula for creating the essence is also missing."

After hearing this, the holy light paused for a few seconds.

"William's whereabouts are not important; he has already completed his mission."

"The great god has already used his hands to bring the Philosopher's Stone back to the human world."

"We can use the essence of the Philosopher's Stone as a starting point to slowly erode the Crystal Wall of the entire Blue Star."

"The influence of the Crystal Wall on us is currently too great; high-level angels on Blue Star can only exert the strength of low-level angels, which makes it very easy for them to be killed by humans in return, and then our Godhead Crystal will become their spoils of war."

"Currently, the Angel Army has discovered that the Crystal Wall above the Haoshen Abyss is the weakest."

"We have already sent a large number of troops to station near the Haoshen Abyss Crystal Wall; now we are just waiting for the essence of the Philosopher's Stone to successfully break the Crystal Wall. As long as the Crystal Wall cracks even a little, the Angel Army can enter Blue Star through the crack in the Crystal Wall."

"So you must find the whereabouts of the essence of the Philosopher's Stone, do you hear me?"

After the Throne Angel finished speaking, it turned into light and left.

It could not stay on Blue Star for too long, or it would be directly purged by the Crystal Wall.

Unless someone was willing to become a vessel for the Throne Angel's divine descent, it could not avoid the purge of the Crystal Wall.

However, people possessed by angels would die within a very short time.

Seeing the Throne Angel disappear, the Glory Angel recovered into human form; he straightened his collar and pushed the door open to walk out.

Xinyue Daxue was very large; alumni who graduated from here would donate a sum of money every year to purchase land around the school and donate it to the school.

This place was like a small town, filled with scientific researchers everywhere.

They were discussing their research topics and projects unscrupulously.

Mingling among the researchers, Ye Bai actually gained quite a bit of inspiration.

"By the way, have you heard? The Battle Wolf's body is about to give out."

"After all, it is an Exotic Beast cloned from the corpse of an ancient Battle Wolf; it's normal that it can't hold on."

"I heard that after the Battle Wolf dies, they are going to turn it into a specimen and seal away all research regarding the Battle Wolf."

"Cloning a Battle Wolf is just too expensive; even if Xinyue Daxue has money, they shouldn't squander it like this."

Ye Bai obtained a piece of intelligence from these researchers: the Battle Wolf is about to die.

It is dying due to genetic collapse, and once the Battle Wolf dies, all of its research data will be sealed in the Xinyue Daxue archives; unless high-level officials at the principal level decide to restart the research, these materials will just sit in the archives gathering dust.

Ye Bai memorized the location of the archives.

Many of Xinyue Daxue's research projects are stored in the archives.

As for the specific location of the archives, no one is clear; only high-level officials might know the whereabouts of the archives.

If that is truly the case, if he could enter the archives, Ye Bai could use his Memory Palace talent to read through all the materials in the archives.

It would be even better if there were electronic files.

After Ye Bai gathered enough information, he followed the same path the Demon Bear had taken to bring him out and returned to the presidential suite.

Just then, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed butler pushed a dining cart inside.

"Hello, I am your dedicated butler, Alice."

"If you need anything, you can press the button to call me; no matter what I am doing, I will be here within one minute."

"Let me introduce today's dinner to you."

"The appetizer is the jaw meat of the albino tuna, lightly grilled and served with pine nut sauce."

Alice opened the serving tray, and Ye Bai raised an eyebrow.

"The jaw meat of the albino tuna is rich in fat; after being lightly grilled, it emits a dense, charred aroma, and paired with the slightly bitter pine nut sauce, it is indeed quite good."

"But I feel that this pairing might be a bit too greasy."

"Would it be better if it were changed to sea salt lemon sauce or herb mint sauce?"

As soon as Ye Bai finished speaking, Alice brought out these two types of sauce.

"Distinguished guest, we have prepared these two sauces as well."

"However, the head chef insisted that today's albino tuna is perfectly paired with the pine nut sauce."

"You may wish to try it."

After hearing Alice's recommendation, Ye Bai used a small knife to cut into the charred and fragrant albino tuna.

He dipped it in the pine nut sauce and put it into his mouth.

A rich pine nut fragrance echoed in his mouth, accompanied by a slight hint of vinegar, which completely neutralized the greasiness in his mouth.

"So that's it, Mediterranean black vinegar was added."

"This type of black vinegar is brewed from persimmons; after decades of aging, the passage of time removes its astringency."

"Such black vinegar carries the faint, sweet taste of persimmons."

"I retract my previous words; today's albino tuna is indeed a perfect match for the pine nut sauce."

"The head chef is truly attentive and also quite ingenious."
