Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Shen Yao's childbirth went smoothly, her mental power broke through accordingly, and the turtle eggs in the incubator hatched—she could be said to have three joys arriving at once.

After not staying in the hospital for too long, once her body had mostly recovered, Shen Yao and her group simply returned to their residence.

The two children were placed in the nursery that had been prepared in advance, cared for not only by Shen Yao's mother but also by professional personnel Shen Yao had hired with money.

In the Beast Taming World, not all pet beasts leaned toward combat; many had other auxiliary functions. Coupled with the beast tamer's own personality and temper, and given that Shen Yao was not short of money, the two freshly born little bundles were very well cared for.

But right now Shen Yao had no time to manage the two brats. In the bedroom she looked at the earth-yellow little turtle that had already come out of the incubator and was nearly the size of a washbasin, speaking in a doubtful tone: "Is this a Mountain-Moving Turtle?"

It was not a Sea-Stepping Turtle, because its patterns, colors, and body size did not match, but it did not look much like a Mountain-Moving Turtle either; it was somewhat like an incompletely evolved new breed of turtle.

The system did not understand either: "Its body size far exceeds that of normal Yellow Tier turtles, and it is still growing rapidly."

Every second, this turtle was getting bigger, as if it had taken an enlargement agent.

Shen Yao propped her chin, nimbly walked to the floor full of fragments, slightly bent her head to touch this turtle's head, and immediately decided to contact a breeder specializing in this.

After appraisal by professionals, Shen Yao learned the situation of this contract pet turtle: it was actually a trait-mutated Mountain-Moving Turtle, with the mutation direction being the relatively common aspect of body size.

"If possible, during this period a large amount of the daily food consumption required by the Mountain-Moving Turtle needs to be supplied, to ensure the Mountain-Moving Turtle's physical mutation is not affected by insufficient food," the breeder handed Shen Yao the report she had written, pointing out that the evolution success rate of trait-mutated pet beasts was extremely high, and with serious cultivation, advancing from Yellow to Profound was within reach.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao had paid the person's fee in full, so this breeder was easy to talk to; she basically explained everything about trait mutation, and even gave Xiao Guai a simple checkup for free.

After smiling and seeing the breeder off, Shen Yao took the Mountain-Moving Turtle to the living room to eat.

"Concern Concern"

This turtle's cry was different from other turtles. Watching it bury its head in the energy ration, and seeing the energy ration decrease at a visible speed every second, Shen Yao had to admit that her previous attempt at turtle egg evolution had definitely failed, but the failure was not particularly thorough.

"This Mountain-Moving Turtle is still a baby, and Mountain-Moving Turtles like mountain rock crevices. According to its daily growth, the villa probably won't be able to accommodate it."

Because of the trait mutation, the Mountain-Moving Turtle had to keep developing horizontally and vertically.

Shen Yao had not forgotten the High-Purity Energy Crystals she had used before; coincidentally, that breeder could not determine how long the trait mutation would last, and it was possible this Mountain-Moving Turtle's body size would far exceed that of its clan elders.

After calling to order stone materials delivered to the grass behind the villa for renovation and construction, and adjusting the Mountain-Moving Turtle's activity range, by the time Shen Yao temporarily finished the work in her hands, the Mountain-Moving Turtle had already reached half a person's height—only ten days had passed since it hatched.

"I finally understand why beast tamers are poor." With a pet beast that could eat this much, not being poor would be strange.

Even though Shen Yao now held a huge sum of money, she was still shocked by the Mountain-Moving Turtle's eating habits.

Where was this a pet beast? This was a walking gold-devouring beast. Fortunately, this Mountain-Moving Turtle's potential was not bad: not only was its defense excessively strong, it also had several other rock-type skills, including its likely future evolution direction, which was probably even more formidable than the Sea-Stepping Turtle.

"Xiao Shan, work hard."

"Concern Concern"

The Mountain-Moving Turtle, now officially named Xiao Shan, raised its head and nudged Shen Yao's palm.

Because it stood out too much, Xiao Shan had already become a moving attraction in the house. Shen Yao's mother would exclaim from time to time, and while doing so showed hesitation toward the two Mountain-Moving Turtle eggs still incubating: "Really entrust them to Cheng Cheng and Yingying?"

They were too valuable. Shen Yao's mother was not ignorant of the price of Yellow Tier pet beasts, especially since her own daughter had just hatched a trait-mutated Mountain-Moving Turtle.

"We are family," besides, the Mountain-Moving Turtle was not considered especially valuable; if one wanted to spend money, one could still buy one.

Shen Yao had thought about going to the Dense Forest or Secret Realm to capture new pet beasts, but she still had two children to care for and could not leave easily for the time being, so she could only settle for second best and use the Mountain-Moving Turtle eggs.

Besides, apart from these two, she still had three Mountain-Moving Turtle eggs in her space.

Smiling, she told Shen Yao's mother not to feel too burdened; the pet beasts they could obtain in the future would be of greater value. Did they really need to keep pushing them back and forth?

Shen Yao's mother:...

Shen Yao's mother could only admire her daughter's character, and finally chose to accept Shen Yao's kindness.

That's right!

They are family!

"But you must also remember Elder Sister's kindness; it's not that it has to be you two," Shen Yao's mother contacted the family still in Chun City by phone, her words implying that Shen Cheng and Shen Ying should keep this in mind and repay it well in the future.

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying naturally promised repeatedly that they would not forget their roots or let down their elder sister.

After all, this was a Yellow Tier pet beast worth over a million; let alone them spending money to buy one, the whole family could not come up with such a sum.

Back when Shen Yao wanted to buy Xiao Guai, it was a case of snapping up a bargain, but it still cost several hundred thousand, and feline pet beasts could not compare to the popular turtle pet beasts.

Shen Yao told the two of them to stop being poor when they had free time, to take the cultivation serum well, study hard, and strive to awaken their Beast Tamer talent by the time they turned eighteen; only then would her two Mountain-Moving Turtle eggs not be wasted. Otherwise, she would have to reluctantly sell them all and use the money to make up household expenses and raise pet beasts.

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying:...

After hanging up, Shen Cheng and Shen Ying studied even harder. It was not just that thinking they might miss out on a Yellow Tier pet beast made them heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe; this was a rare opportunity.

Yes, that was exactly the effect she wanted.

"If they really can't be raised up, that would be the greatest waste."

Shen Yao did not care whether the pet beast eggs were Yellow Tier or not; what she cared about was personal ability.

To stand firm in this world and have her own force, Shen Yao could not fight alone. Her blood relatives would be the most reliable partners—whether it was Shen Cheng and Shen Ying, who were about to grow up, or Shen Tiantian and Mimi, who were only the size of little beans, all were placed with great hopes by Shen Yao.

Born several days ago, the little beans, now fair and tender, had just received their formal names and nicknames.

Since they were both daughters, after the Jing Shi side sent two considerable sums of living expenses without saying anything extra, Shen Yao simply gave the two children the names Shen Si Tan and Shen Si Mi, while Xinxin and Mimi were their daily nicknames.

Although they sounded somewhat non-aggressive, Shen Yao had already planned how to cultivate her two daughters, for only the strong could control their own destiny.

…………

Life after giving birth was far from dull. Shen Yao had to care for both the children and the pet beasts, and her daily expenses flowed like water. If not for the savings she had made in advance (from selling turtle eggs), she would not have been able to sleep.

Only after her leave ended and she returned to work at the Beast Taming Center did Shen Yao finally free herself from the trivial matters.

Of course, hiring professionals to help care for them cost Shen Yao even more money. Shen Yao's mother could not leave the villa for too long either, and as a result, the Shen Family Three, who had previously been able to stay peacefully in Chun City, also had to move to Yang Shi ahead of time.

After Shen Yao successfully completed her six-month internship mission, Shen Father brought Shen Cheng and Shen Ying, who had finished their second year of high school and were about to enter their senior year, to Yang Shi.

Shen Yao had not forgotten Tian Qing's earlier promise. After asking the Tian Family to help resolve Shen Cheng and Shen Ying's schooling issues, she received her graduation certificate and formally graduated from the Beast Taming University she had attended for three years.

Sigh.

From now on, she could count herself as a registered official Beast Tamer, enjoying Beast Tamer treatment. Whether she joined the official ranks or chose part-time work, she could do so with proper legitimacy.

However, before deciding on work, Shen Yao planned to first arrange matters concerning her Shen Family parents.

"Planning to open a pet beast store?"

Chun City and Yang City were different cities, so the two of them coming over naturally required them to resign from their jobs.

For the time being, the couple temporarily stayed at Shen Yao's place to help look after the children and pet beasts. There was no problem in the short term, but over time they would inevitably feel bored.

To avoid Shen Fu and Shen Mu overthinking, Shen Yao simply blurted out her pet beast store plan, while not forgetting to explain her reasons for doing so.

Simply put, she wanted self-production and self-sale. If she chose part-time work with the official side, her main job would definitely be Secret Realm exploration or Dense Forest survival. Bringing back so many Secret Realm or Dense Forest specialty products each time, she didn't want to sell them cheaply to the official side or other private stores, so she had to find reliable channels to sell them and recoup her costs.

What channel would be more convenient than opening her own? Moreover, she could use this opportunity to increase her personal connections, and once her strength broke through, she could rise even higher.

Shen Fu and Shen Mu had no objections to this. Their only worry was that they had never done business before. Could a pet beast store, or a pet beast specialty store, really be made to work?

Of course!

Shen Yao nodded, indicating she would handle all of this. Shen Fu and Shen Mu only needed to take over after the store opened, and they would also need to hire shop assistants. Since she might not be at the store most of the time, the only thing the store could rely on was themselves.

Since things had been said to this point, Shen Fu and Shen Mu refusing again would truly be inappropriate.

Nodding their heads, they solemnly accepted. Shen Fu and Shen Mu began self-studying materials on this subject. Their diligent and hardworking attitude frightened Shen Cheng and Shen Ying into studying even harder, directly driving everyone in the residence to start competing.

Shen Yao nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, that was exactly the state to maintain.

System:...

It had to be said, the people this Host chose this time still had to have some "volume king" talent in them.

"Only when hearts think as one and efforts go in one direction can the Shen Family, dwelling in the lower class, gain fame." Otherwise, relying only on Shen Yao while others did not participate, their kinship relation might end here.

Shen Yao had never been someone who liked forcing others. Whether she could get the results she wanted, external force was certainly important, but internal cause was even more prominent.

"Alright, after we finish this business at hand, we should also go to the Dense Forest outside Yang City for a look." How could a store opening have no products? Shen Yao had the intention of gaining fame in one move within her, so this time she left, she had to bring back a big haul.

After finishing idle chat with the System, Shen Yao turned her head to prepare for the store opening.

First was the store issue. This hardest point was actually the easiest to solve, because among the properties Li Suyan had given Shen Yao, there was a store item, located on a street not far from the city center. Around it were all kinds of pet beast-related stores.

Shen Yao only needed to connect this store, including doing some simple decoration around it, then run a few trips to the official side to handle relevant procedures, and finally choose a good opening time.

However, since she had not yet gone to the Dense Forest for exploration, the opening had to be postponed for a while.

Shen Yao handed the keys to Shen Fu and Shen Mu, kissed Xinxin and Mimi who were already several months old, then immediately took Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan to the Dense Forest.

Instead of taking a crowded public bus with many people, Shen Yao chose a more high-class way to go out, hiring a flying bird beast for transport.

"Go to Qian Ye Lin. Wait for me at the entrance in three days. This is the deposit."

Shen Yao reached a cooperation with the Beast Tamer of the Yu Yu Bird via mobile phone transfer. The broad Yu Yu Bird spread its pair of wings, and the two people and two beasts rose into the air together.

"Is your Mountain-Moving Turtle almost an adult? You've raised it really well."

The Beast Tamer of the Yu Yu Bird was full of envy, thinking to himself that it was no wonder she dared to go to Qian Ye Lin. With such a defensively strong pet beast, even he would dare to try.

Shen Yao only made an "en" sound and nodded, asking about the recent situation in Qian Ye Lin. "I heard there are Xuan Rank pet beasts appearing. Hasn't the Patrol Team driven them away?"

"Hmph, drive away what? They can't even catch a shadow. And no danger has been reported. Everyone going to Qian Ye Lin can only try their best to pay attention to safety."

The Beast Tamer of the Yu Yu Bird said everywhere was dangerous. One couldn't just not go because of fear. The output of Qian Ye Lin was worth a lot of money and was a favorite of many Beast Tamers.

Let alone Qian Ye Lin having a Xuan Rank pet beast appear, even if a group of Xuan Rank pet beasts appeared, they would still ignorantly go there to gather.

Hearing these words, Shen Yao lowered her head to look through the information she had obtained on her phone.

Some was content released by the Beast Taming Center, some was content announced by the Patrol Team, and some was descriptions from people who had been to Qian Ye Lin.

Shen Yao checked and confirmed everything in various ways. By the time the Yu Yu Bird arrived at the entrance of Qian Ye Lin, an hour had already passed.

Since only three days had been booked, Shen Yao did not prepare many items. After waving goodbye to the Beast Tamer of the Yu Yu Bird, Shen Yao took Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan into the secluded Qian Ye Lin, disappearing in an instant.

Others were the same as her. Other Beast Tamers had all come for the specialty products of Qian Ye Lin. Who made this place able to stably produce?

Shen Yao did not ride Xiao Guai, but instead let Xiao Guai start traveling stealthily and hidden. She simply hid beside Xiao Shan, so that if danger appeared she could directly hide and avoid harm.

Who made the Mountain-Moving Turtle's defensive attribute terrifyingly strong? Especially since this one was a Mountain-Moving Turtle with a trait mutation. Just looking at this huge bulk, already grown to over four meters, would give people a strong sense of security.

It was no wonder that Beast Tamer of that Yu Yu Bird would say the Mountain-Moving Turtle was almost an adult. Such a Mountain-Moving Turtle, just looking at it, made it hard to imagine it was still a baby of only a few months.
