Chapter 454: You're Making Things Difficult for Me, Fatty!

What is the situation now?

The Nine Stars have been seized, the Xingjie Gate has been destroyed, and the Dragon Claw of the Dragon Race divine monstrosity has been left at the scene.

The Seven Stars were stunned.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly was dumbfounded.

"What are you still standing there for? Run!"

"Heaven-Swallowing Pelican!"

A crane's cry rang out; the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican lightly slashed at the space with its fingertip, and a space passage was created by the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican.

"Go!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Pelican carried Ye Bai and rushed into the space passage.

And the Myriad-Changing Butterfly also carried the Xinglan Butterfly King Clone and rushed toward the space passage.

"Quick, stop it for me!"

"Don't let them run away."

What Jinyuori said was a bit late; at this moment, the Xinglan Butterfly King was already not far from the space passage.

Countless sharp swords flew in from afar, wanting to pierce through the Xinglan Butterfly King.

But this fellow flapped its wings lightly and, at the very moment the space passage was about to disappear, rushed into the space passage.

A great humiliation, simply a great humiliation.

The Nine Stars Orbs used to set up the formation were snatched away.

The Xingjie formation was completely destroyed.

Even the Dragon Race divine monstrosity that was lured in had its Dragon Claw severed.

This time, the Seven Stars' plan to attack the Bureau was a complete failure.

If this were to spread, the Seven Stars would lose all face!

Just at this moment, a dazzling bright light flew in from afar.

At the same time, it was accompanied by bursts of rooster crowing.

"Oh no, the Youji of the Twelve National Guardian Pillars has appeared."

"Leader, shall we retreat?"

Shuiyuori said, gritting his teeth.

Departing like this was very shameful, but Shuiyuori could no longer care about so much.

Saving one's life was more important.

"Go, if we don't go now, it will be too late."

"However, we must take the Dragon Race divine monstrosity's Dragon Claw with us."

"That Dragon Claw was left behind by a divine monstrosity that had ignited its divine fire; if it can be forged into a weapon, it should be able to reach the eighth-tier level."

But just as Jinyuori finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that the Dragon Race divine monstrosity's claw had also disappeared.

"Damnable Twenty-Eight Mansions, I share an irreconcilable hatred with you."

This time, the Seven Stars attacked the Bureau without gaining any benefits, and instead suffered a double loss.

Not only was their true strength seen through by Yan Country, but the main pets of Shuiyuori and Muyuori died.

The black zombie army carefully cultivated by Shuiyuori was destroyed, and Muyuori's mandrake army was ruined.

Except for himself, Huoyuori, and Tuyuori, the other Seven Stars were in a miserable state.

After the Sun God and Moon God used their last bit of strength to open the space passage, they fainted.

Tuyuori summoned two clay statues, which carried the Sun God and Moon God and walked inside.

Jinyuori looked in the direction of the Bureau and said through gritted teeth: "Hmph, we have recorded this grudge in our hearts, and we will definitely take revenge fiercely. Twenty-Eight Mansions, you just wait for me."

"I will definitely slaughter a medium-sized city as repayment!"

The Sun Golden Rooster flew past, and everything was shrouded in golden light.

All filth was being purified by the golden light at this moment.

Ye Bai had already returned to the Bureau at this time, and a Dragon Claw about fifteen meters long appeared beside him.

The Dragon Claw had a total of four claws, three long and one short.

Each claw emitted a cold, chilling light under the illumination of the lamps.

The Sun Golden Crow flickered with golden radiance, shuttling through space, and landed in the center of the Bureau's plaza.

"Don't worry, the Youji National Guardian Pillar has arrived."

Youji jumped down from the back of the Sun Golden Rooster.

"Kuimulang, we meet again. Where did you find such a large Dragon Claw?"

Youji looked at the Dragon Claw curiously; it emitted a cold, sinister aura.

"This was obtained from the hands of a divine monstrosity."

"It was anxious to rush out from the Xingjie Gate."

"As a result, it accidentally broke the Xingjie Gate, and the Space Rift chopped off its Dragon Claw."

"Youji National Guardian Pillar, I heard that you are skilled in artifact refining. Can you help me refine the Dragon Claw into a weapon?"

"Refined from a Dragon Race divine monstrosity that has ignited divine fire, it should be able to break through to the eighth tier."

"But can the Sun Golden Rooster's light flame melt the Dragon Claw?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"That should not be a problem."

"However, in exchange, I hope you can help my Sun Golden Rooster evolve into a Sun Golden Crow."

Youji remembers that Ye Bai once promised to help the Sun-Day Golden Chicken evolve.

Moreover, as a rising research star of the Yan Country, he truly has this ability.

"It is possible, but you all understand the situation regarding the evolution materials."

"The Golden Crow blood within them is an important material for allowing the Sun-Day Golden Chicken to be reborn."

"You need to find the Golden Crow blood before I can allow the Sun-Day Golden Chicken to evolve."

"As for the other materials, I will take care of them."

Ye Bai said indifferently.

"By the way, the Qilin Marshal has something to discuss with you, so you should head back first."

"I will handle the reorganization of the Bureau here."

"It just so happens that I need a rest recently, so I will take this opportunity to clear out all the monsters and demons."

The Sun-Day Golden Chicken possesses the ability to distinguish good from evil, so leaving the reorganization of the Bureau to Youji is the most suitable thing to do.

"Zhang Yuelu, Xinyuehu, you two stay behind to assist me."

"You should be familiar with and understand the Bureau; I need you to stay and tell me exactly what the situation is like at the Bureau now."

Ye Bai rushed back to the Qi Luck Hall overnight.

Here, he ran into the White Tiger Marshal.

He was sitting on the ground with the Qilin Marshal, and it seemed they had been discussing for a while.

"White Tiger Marshal, Qilin Marshal."

Ye Bai opened his mouth to offer a greeting.

"Ye Bai, you've come."

"I heard from Youji about the matter at the Bureau; you did a beautiful job."

"This is the reward we have for you."

The Qilin Marshal grabbed at the void with one hand and pulled out an ancient, simple sword case from it.

"This is the sword case for the Bronze Ancient Sword, named Autumn Water."

"It is a set with the Bronze Ancient Sword."

The Qilin Marshal seemed to know the origin of the Candle Dragon Spirit that Ye Bai had contracted.

However, he did not point it out to his face, only telling Ye Bai to be careful and cautious.

"Autumn Water and the Bronze Ancient Sword are a set; it can nourish the sword spirit of the Bronze Ancient Sword and give rise to the birth of more dragon souls."

The Qilin Marshal's words brought a look of joy to Ye Bai's face.

This way, he would not have to rack his brains to collect the Ten Thousand Dragon Slash.

"Of course, the reward I want to give you is not just this one, but it will take some time to collect."

"Once it is collected, I will give the gift to you."

"There is a rather urgent matter that requires you to handle it."

"It can also be considered your old line of work."

"The Global Researcher Conference is about to begin."

"Because the Xu Dog Pillar of the Nation has matters to arrange, and Academician Su Qingxian must attend this grand event."

"So I hope you can protect Academician Su Qingxian and bring her back safe and sound."

"This is your mission."

"In addition, you also need to prepare a topic, as you will need to give a report at the Global Researcher Conference."

Ah, this.

In such a rush, where is he supposed to find a topic?

You are making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!

"For attending this kind of conference, all accompanying personnel must be researchers."

Ye Bai was a bit speechless; you could also call my master back to accompany the grandmaster!

Dragging a small fry like me along, what are you doing!

Ye Bai's heart was roaring at this moment, but he dared not show it on the surface; he had to maintain respect for the Qilin Marshal.

"Actually, you must be curious in your heart, wouldn't it be better to let your teacher protect Academician Su Qingxian?"

"Your teacher has another very important research project that is about to begin."

"Once she comes out of the Bureau, she must immediately enter a closed Laboratory to conduct uninterrupted research."

"Later, you still need to go find Academician Su Qingxian; she has some things she wants to entrust to you."

"There have been some movements at the Sea God Abyss recently, but we have suppressed them."

"And this Global Researcher Conference is our opportunity to flex our muscles."

"That way, talents from other countries will not dare to act rashly."

"Academician Su's topic has already been completed, and it is now in the final stage."

At this moment, the White Tiger Marshal suddenly spoke: "Kuimulang, you are the White Tiger Tooth; I hope you do not forget the glory of the previous Kuimulang."

"There is a mission I would like to entrust to you, which is to find the previous Kuimulang."

"Find him alive, or find his body."

"He was a true warrior and should not have disappeared so obscurely."

The White Tiger Marshal said with great emotion.

Ye Bai bowed to the two Marshals and left.

He had heard the story of the previous Kuimulang; it was a legend.

At the same time, he is also the only Pet Beast Master among the Twenty-Eight Mansions who can contend with the Pillars of the Nation.

This sounds a bit like a scene where Silver Saints fight against Gold Saints.

After coming out of the Qi Luck Hall, Ye Bai first returned to his Breeding House at the Imperial Capital University.

The Breeding House had already been renovated, but because Ye Bai had been busy carrying out missions recently, he had no time to open for business.

Just as he arrived at the Breeding House, he saw a cyan giant wolf lying not far from the Breeding House.

Ye Bai looked closely; isn't this the Single-Horned Wind Wolf?

Oh no, he had forgotten about the Single-Horned Wind Wolf.

Ye Bai felt a little guilty.

He had left the Single-Horned Wind Wolf at the Breeding House for nearly three months; the fact that it hadn't starved to death after so long proved that someone had been feeding it.

After the Single-Horned Wind Wolf opened its eyes and saw Ye Bai, a hint of joy appeared in its eyes.

Ye Bai had finally returned; it didn't know how miserable it had been during this time.

Relying on others to feed it all day, it was about to become the most devalued Tier 6 Pet Beast at the Imperial Capital University.

"Yo, Ye Bai, you're back."

Lan Fa waved at Ye Bai.

A graceful young girl followed behind Lan Fa; she was wearing ancient-style clothing and holding a mirror in her arms.

"Your Mirror Girl evolved?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"Yes, it evolved into a Kunlun Mirror Girl."

"She is a Mirror Girl born specifically to serve the Kunlun Mirror."

"When I took the Mirror Girl to explore a Secret Realm, she suddenly evolved into a Kunlun Mirror Girl."

"According to the information I've looked up, this Secret Realm is very likely to possess the Kunlun Mirror."

Lan Fa said mysteriously.

"Kunlun Mirror?"

"One of the ten legendary divine artifacts?"

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, of course, this is not just a legend."

"I suspect that the Kunlun Mirror truly exists."

Lan Fa lowered his voice and said to Ye Bai.

"By the way, you've been gone for so long, I've been the one taking care of and feeding the Single-Horned Wind Wolf; transfer its food expenses to me."

"When exactly is your Breeding House opening? It's been ventilating for so long, it's time to open."

Lan Fa muttered complainingly.

"Haha, I want to too, but there's no way; I simply don't have the time. I'm just back in a rush to take a look this time."

"I'll be leaving in a while."

"I've transferred the money to you; please help me look after the Single-Horned Wind Wolf for a while longer."

"My call is coming in."

Ye Bai received a kind greeting from his grand-teacher: "Ye Bai, you're back."

"I'm sorry to have let you accompany an old woman like me on this trip alone."

Ye Bai quickly said: "Not at all, not at all; I've long wanted to go to the World-class Researcher Conference."

"At the conference, we can demonstrate our hard power and show off our muscles."

"Grand-teacher, I am troubling you to guide this incompetent grand-disciple of yours this time."

"I have already arrived at the Imperial Capital University and will be at your Laboratory very soon."

At this moment, Su Qingxian said: "I've changed offices; just come directly to my office."

"Go to the No. 6 Administrative Building, Room 5201; just come over."

"There are some things I need to confirm with you."

"Our itinerary this time is very tight, and there is inside information claiming that the Beautiful Country does not want me to return to the Yan Country."

When Ye Bai arrived at Room 5201, he was surprised to find that his grand-teacher had already risen to the position of Vice President.

The Vice President of the Imperial Capital University—the value of that position is rock solid.

He didn't expect that he would still be able to receive care from his grand-teacher.

Does this mean that his grand-teacher could arrange an iron rice bowl for him?

"Grand-teacher, it's been so long, how did you become the Vice President, and even the Executive Vice President, an Academician who can preside over the overall situation of the school?"

Su Qingxian smiled: "These are all empty titles, not worth mentioning. If it weren't for that old guy having an accident, this position wouldn't have fallen to me."

"I'm just holding the title for now; once someone can take over, this position will still have to be given up."

"The topic has drifted."

"Ye Bai, this World-class Researcher Conference will be held in the Elephant Country."

"And the Elephant Country is not a neutral country; it cannot withstand the pressure from the Beautiful Country, nor does it want to offend us."

"So, people from the Beautiful Country are very likely to take action in the Elephant Country."

"It is also possible that our plane could suffer a missile ambush as soon as it enters the airspace of the Elephant Country."

His grand-teacher is an authority on Pet Beast genetics and also a leader in the discipline.

Ye Bai can understand why the Beautiful Country does not want his grand-teacher to return to the Yan Country.

"Then grand-teacher, what is the topic you have prepared for me?"

"It's impossible that you called me over just to catch up."

The World-class Researcher Conference is a place only researchers can enter.

If you don't have a research project, they might even kick you out.

"I have already prepared a project for you."

"Take a look."

Su Qingxian handed a thick stack of papers to Ye Bai.

The first page of the cover was the advancement experiment for the Thunder Rabbit.

The advancement experiment for the Thunder Rabbit—wasn't the Thunder Rabbit something he had previously developed together with Teacher Zhang Lingxue?

How did it reach the stage of researching Thunder Rabbit evolution so quickly?
