Main Character:

Shen Yao

The internship location was set, the time arranged for half a year after the holiday ended; what Shen Yao needed to do was first find a temporary foothold and get through the two months before her.

After half a year of cultivation, Xiao Guai's body already perfectly met the advancement requirements.

The only difference was that the required Beast Heart still had to wait until the mission ended.

After all, Shen Yao already counted as a rich person; whether it was the compensation Cui Hengxin gave or the two Yellow Tier Mountain-Moving Turtle eggs in her hand, they could let her live a comfortable, relaxed life for a period of time.

"Xiao Guai, let's find a residence first."

"Meow"

Xiao Guai swayed its big tail, indicating it wanted a spacious room.

Shen Yao smiled, reached out and tapped Xiao Guai's raised cat head, "Then around the city center," they were all detached villa districts, and came with gardens where pet beasts could move about; whether used as an advancement venue or purely for residence, they could count as a very good choice.

"Meow"

…………

As for finding a residence, Shen Yao did not deliberately save money, but went straight to the Beast Taming Center's mission posting office and wrote out her needs.

In no more than half a day, someone contacted her by phone. On the premise of not minding the high cost, from leaving the school to moving into the new home, Shen Yao spent only a little over three days.

Phew

Looking at the pretty three-story building in the distance, Shen Yao stroked Xiao Guai's head, "We'll stay here temporarily.

You familiarize yourself with the surroundings first; in a few days when we get the Beast Heart, we'll start preparing your advancement matters."

"Meow"

Xiao Guai nodded its cat face seriously; it understood the meaning of advancement, after all these past half a year, including in the Secret Realm, had been very difficult, and in Xiao Guai's not-so-smart little brain, as long as it couldn't eat and drink at will, it meant it had to become stronger.

Mm, from certain aspects, Xiao Guai's thinking wasn't wrong.

After all, the pet beasts cultivated by Beast Tamers were completely different from wild pet beasts; although they lacked the cruel environment of wild pet beasts, they added many experiences wild pet beasts wouldn't have, thereby raising the pet beasts' survival rate.

She raised her hand and untied the cat rope at Xiao Guai's neck, letting Xiao Guai run, jump, and play around the villa.

Shen Yao found time to call home, first saying she wouldn't be returning, then bringing up Shen Cheng and Shen Ying's initial pet beasts, telling the Shen couple to just cultivate them with peace of mind, the rest she would handle.

Afterward, Shen Yao called Tian Qing, and the two set a time to conduct the turtle egg transaction.

"This Mountain-Moving Turtle egg is full of vitality, its aptitude upper-middle; it's a very good pet beast."

Tested by an official Breeder, after appraisal by professional instruments, the Tian Family directly offered six million to buy it.

Although the money given was a bit much, if not for Tian Qing's connection, Shen Yao wouldn't have sold this Mountain-Moving Turtle egg.

"Shen Yao, thank you."

Tian Qing was very happy, sincerely grateful; after all, the Tian Family internally also had many troubles, and Tian Qing making this deal was a good thing whether for herself or for the clan.

"No need for courtesy, you paid the money," it was all real gold and silver, Shen Yao didn't lose anything.

Tian Qing shook her head, indicating it couldn't be said that way; how many people wanted to buy a Yellow Tier pet beast egg, yet even offering ten million couldn't snatch one.

Shen Yao picking her among so many choices was giving her face.

Regardless, Tian Qing noted this favor in her heart and solemnly promised that if there was a place she could be useful in the future, she would absolutely not decline.

Suddenly obtaining a favor, Shen Yao had no other thoughts for the moment, but it didn't hinder maintaining a good relationship with Tian Qing.

The Tian Family were also locals of Yang City, not too big or small; the clan had a few industries related to pet beasts; wealthy and noble couldn't be said, but they were definitely much stronger than merely well-off, otherwise six million couldn't be taken out without even blinking.

Using the excuse that there were still matters at home not handled well, Shen Yao turned and parted with Tian Qing, then sold the remaining turtle egg through official channels.

Only four million in price, but obtained some other resource compensation, including specialty items that were comparatively hard to get, more precious than mere money.

Picking a day with clear weather, Shen Yao summoned the already-prepared Xiao Guai, and took out the resources needed for Xiao Guai's advancement one by one.

"Xiao Guai, are you ready?"

"Meow"

Xiao Guai's eyes were sharp, its bearing imposing.

Seeing this, Shen Yao directly closed her eyes; a rose-red star array appeared between her and Xiao Guai, slowly expanding and then enveloping them.

Right now!

Shen Yao opened her eyes, swiftly sending the advancement resources into Xiao Guai's mouth.

At the same time, she also added some system-produced pills and other preparations collected from other worlds inside.

"Roar!"

Xiao Guai's eyes turned golden-yellow; its originally relaxed body slowly tensed up.

Its cry mixed with pained groans, and its body twitching from time to time, including that fur moving without wind, made the watcher's heart ache.

There was no way; during pet beast advancement including the later evolution process, everything had to be faced by the pet beast itself.

Once it couldn't pass or failed halfway, what awaited the pet beast was only a dead end.

"Meow!"

Xiao Guai's body was shrouded in rose-red bright light; its entire size grew by more than a circle.

Shen Yao took the opportunity to place the retrieved Beast Heart directly beside Xiao Guai; no urging needed, the Beast Heart's scent attracted Xiao Guai to unconsciously open its mouth and devour it.

Crunch crunch——

Shen Yao didn't forget to keep throwing pills and preparations into Xiao Guai's mouth in the gaps; all were things beneficial to Xiao Guai's evolution; after all, myriad changes don't depart from the root; even if other worlds' operating rules differed from here, some items could still be universal.

The rose-red star array flickered bright and dark, but overall it was still fairly stable.

Shen Yao stood up, moving her somewhat sore body; seeing Xiao Guai's condition was good, she simply turned and left.

"System, remember to do your job."

Even through the contract, Shen Yao could sense Xiao Guai's current physical condition, but she still added an extra layer of guarantee, feeling uneasy.

"Host, rest assured."

This is just a minor advancement, not the most difficult evolution, and it has eaten so many genuine pills; if this can still fail, then the right way is to contract a new pet beast.

"Rest assured about what? Have the people from the Cui Family not arrived yet? Watch out for Cheng Dong running away, leaving Cui Hengxin to die in vain."

Shen Yao raised her hand to pour herself a cup of clear water, leaned against the tea table, and looked out the window.

"The Cui Family has already taken action; I heard it's Cui Hengxin's birth mother coming over."

"As for Cheng Dong? Does the Host really not know, or is she pretending to be foolish? Would this person run away? With so many confidantes, how could he enjoy the life of being embraced on both sides if he ran away?"

After seriously observing Cheng Dong comprehensively these past few days, the System finally discovered his essence of being jade on the outside but rags within, no better than Cui Hengxin; no wonder he was favored by those pirated things.

The System couldn't be bothered to treat the pirated systems as peers; pirated systems were truly infamous, and these genuine ones had suffered many dark losses at their hands.

"Cui Hengxin's birth mother; it seems I need to go to the hospital before she arrives."

Physical discomfort requires examination; otherwise, how would the news of pregnancy be delivered?

Cui Hengxin's birth mother will definitely investigate everything that happened to Cui Hengxin; I hope this woman who has experienced the pain of losing a son can be strong, otherwise she will still be trouble for me.

Xiao Guai's advancement took a full two days; only when the rose-red star array became dim and lusterless did Shen Yao see Xiao Guai's appearance after advancement.

Not only was its figure larger and more imposing than before, but it also gained some attack methods.

Especially its coat of many colors; the white patterns decreased, and dark patterns densely covered its whole body.

Is this still a Xuanbai Swift Shadow Cat?

"Meow"

Xiao Guai's voice became a bit hoarse, making it still a bit unaccustomed when acting coquettish; its fluffy tail also grew larger by a circle.

The original tail was like a chicken feather duster, flickering and able to throw people off; the current tail is more like a furry long whip, not only able to throw people off but also beat them half to death.

Good boy

Shen Yao thought that Xiao Guai after advancement was truly in stark contrast to its name; is this a pet beast? In the Reality World, a little cat instantly turns into a giant monster; beneath the cute appearance lies cruel abilities.

Energy Rations had been prepared in advance, and there were also many Mortal Rank Beast Meats bought back.

Xiao Guai raised its head and gently rubbed against Shen Yao's body, then swaggered off to eat specially and voraciously; the Energy Rations and pet beast meat decreased at a visible speed until they were eaten clean.

"Meow"

Delicious, want more

Xiao Guai lay sprawled on the Ground meowing, and its cat face showed nothing but satisfaction.

Shen Yao continued to take out Energy Rations and Mortal Rank Beast Meat to feed it, until Xiao Guai's belly became round and plump, and the feeding action could finally end.

In the following two days, Shen Yao went nowhere, but stayed at Home Presence to train Xiao Guai in mastering its skills.

Once Xiao Guai could accurately issue commands upon hearing them, Shen Yao took Xiao Guai to a cultivation Base under the Official, spending a huge sum to have Xiao Guai examined, ensuring no hidden dangers remained after advancement.

Shen Yao turned around and went to the Hospital alone; when she came out again, she held an examination sheet in her hand.

"What to do next? Go find Cui Hengxin's mother proactively," the System's suggestion was still unreliable.

"No need; those who want to know will know, and those who don't want to know won't specially come to disturb; just let this Lady Cui choose for herself," Shen Yao put the examination sheet away into her Backpack and took transportation home herself.

How would Lady Cui choose?

After all, it was her own son's Bloodline; even though her son was unworthy and the person was gone, the Cui Family was not short of this money, and Lady Cui was not from a family that liked to make trouble.

"This girl's family situation," the middle-aged woman with beautifully manicured nails painted in different colors briefly flipped through the delivered documents, then raised her hand to rub her sore and swollen forehead.

"After Hengxin's matters are busy, help me make an appointment with the Heads of the Families in Yang City; coming over abruptly to disturb is our fault," no matter how useless the Youngest Son was, he was still her own flesh and blood; this grudge, she would avenge no matter what!

With one "yes" after another, the entire space became extremely solemn and oppressive.

No one dared to raise their heads and look around; after all, the person before them was truly the Head of the Family, calm and rational, restrained and intelligent, but ruthless and merciless in action, one of the most difficult to deal with in the entire Cui Family.

Everyone in their hearts lit candles for the person who struck; after all, offending other people in the family didn't matter, but offending the person who could truly make decisions, the outcome would probably be more terrible than death.

"Actually this formidable? How did Cui Hengxin end up in such a state?"

And was even exiled to Yang City, Yu Province; simply not like mother and child.

"Host, you must first know how much destructive power an unworthy Offspring can have."

The System directly cited Cui Hengxin's lawless behavior in Jing Shi; if not for such a domineering birth mother protecting her, she would have been killed countless times already, though she died quite cleanly now anyway.

The System smacked its lips, indicating the topic had gone astray; the two of them were not discussing the already deceased Cui Hengxin, but Li Suyan who was about to come kill them.

Indeed, Cui Hengxin's birth mother was also quite legendary; whether in terms of Ancestry or contracted pet beast, she was a prominent figure decades ago.

It's a pity that the Offspring left by formidable people were all useless; Li Suyan is now a Di Rank Beast Tamer, with the final say, and of the three children she gave birth to, Cui Hengxin was the most useless and most prone to causing trouble; unexpectedly, even after being sent to Yang City she didn't quiet down, until she played herself to death did she finally rest.

This time Li Suyan came personally to completely settle this matter; according to the System's analysis of Li Suyan (through the internet and others' descriptions), this person probably would meet her Host face to face.

"Meet? What's the big deal; maybe we can chat quite well," Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, indicating she had done nothing wrong, so she wasn't afraid of someone coming to her door.

System:......

Before Li Suyan arrived, the legacy issues of Cui Hengxin needed to be resolved first.

Among them were Cheng Dong and the Yang Family siblings.

The System had long been waiting for such a day, so Li Suyan's mobile phone could receive Text Messages; although it was almost unclear who sent the message, the content above concerned everything about Cui Hengxin, and there was not a bit of false information.

"Truly interesting, Mengmeng, didn't notice, right?"

"Mengmeng"

Standing by Li Suyan's side, Qi Mengyao, whose whole body was deep blue like a giant Octopus, shook its head seriously; it didn't smell the scent of lies, so the content above was all true.

As a Di Rank Pet Beast, Qi Mengyao had always been famous for Strange Phenomena.

Strange abilities and methods that made Prevention impossible meant that even though it was at Di Rank, it could still hard-resist some Heaven Tier pet beasts.

Li Suyan's firm Foothold in the Cui Family, and her ability to keep improving these past years, was largely thanks to Qi Mengyao's help.

So even without the phone's contents, Li Suyan would not let Cheng Dong, the biggest suspect, off.

【Did you make a move?】

【Moved, moved】

The system was far more excited than usual; the night weather was a bit cool, Shen Yao leaned by the window, quietly gazing at the scene of fading lights outside.

【Wow, Cheng Dong has some skill, he dodged it, but Copper Bone Ant is still weak—his methods are no match for Qi Mengyao.

Sigh, wait…】The system suddenly turned serious; after a few minutes, it spoke again, 【Fortunately I was watching closely, we almost fell for it.】

Shen Yao had expected this, 【Is it that Pirate System?】

【A Di Rank Beast Tamer's mental power is strong,】the system did not deny it, only gave a hehe smile, indicating it had secretly helped block a bit, successfully letting Li Suyan seize the opportunity and press down Cheng Dong, who was making small moves.
