Shen Yao
The Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine is advancing!
At this time, in this place, the Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine is advancing!
Shen Yao was completely stunned by the sight before her; if not for the footsteps coming from beside her ear, she might have continued kneeling on the ground in a daze.
Supporting the body of the slightly trembling Xiao Guai, Shen Yao stood up and saw the Patrol Team appearing first at a glance; the fitted black uniforms worn by these people made them look especially upright and majestic.
"Ling Feng Shan Mai is under martial law; no one is allowed to enter it privately."
A middle-aged-looking man in the Patrol Team spoke, and his words instantly detonated the entire scene.
It was as if the button of a mute device had been pressed; the chirping sounds were everywhere, and Shen Yao was not the only one here—counting those about to enter and those who had run out earlier, there were quite a number.
"Quiet!"
The man spoke again, and while at it, sternly emphasized that everyone could leave.
After all, a sudden accident had occurred inside Ling Feng Shan Mai; whether someone truly wasn't afraid of death or falsely claimed not to be, no one could go to disturb a pet beast during its advancement.
Let alone the wild pet beast Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine, even contracted pet beasts would throw tantrums; back when Xiao Guai merely advanced in rank, Shen Yao could only choose to temporarily hide and leave the entire space for Xiao Guai to use.
Right now, Shen Yao raised her eyes to glance, then waved her hand to call Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan to walk backward.
Although the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird hadn't arrived yet, she could contact them in real time.
Placing the target location again at an empty space not far from the entrance, Shen Yao waved her hand, telling Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan, who had just been frightened into silence by the aura, to rest.
"Meow"
"Concern Concern"
Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan simultaneously buried their heads to act coquettish, because the aura just now had frightened the beasts.
"It's fine, it's fine, we won't be coming over recently," no matter how formidable the Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine was, it couldn't run to Yang City Center to cause a ruckus.
Moreover, a Xuan Rank Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine could stay safely in Ling Feng Shan Mai, but once it advanced to become a new Di Rank pet beast, its own danger level would double; whether out of safety considerations or to improve personal strength, many Beast Tamers would gladly run over to contract this Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine.
Unless the Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine could fight and was harmless, but that statement was itself a paradox; just wait and see, there will be plenty of scrambling over this later.
…………
The Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird arrived at noon and apologetically expressed regret to Shen Yao, "I ran into an official inspection on the road."
The news of the incident at Ling Feng Shan Mai had already rapidly spread throughout Yang City; the bustling crowds discussed it animatedly, and some people even planned to sneak into Ling Feng Shan Mai—one didn't know whether to call them audacious or crazy.
Shen Yao led Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan, along with a pile of gathered supplies, onto the back of the Feather Sparrow Bird, "How is Yang City?"
"Fairly calm; with the officials present, ordinary people dare not cause trouble," the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird finished speaking, then mentioned that they might run into some minor trouble on their way back, "Some people don't believe in evil or trust themselves too much; they definitely want to join in the liveliness of Ling Feng Shan Mai."
Shen Yao snorted lightly, "Advancing from Xuan Rank to Di Rank takes a considerable amount of time."
"If someone really has the guts to enter Ling Feng Shan Mai, then it can only be said that life and death are up to fate."
After all, Shen Yao was able to come out thanks to good luck and her own caution; now there were still some people whose life and death were unknown inside Ling Feng Shan Mai.
Otherwise, why would the Patrol Team have rushed over to seal off the scene? Wasn't it because they were worried some people would seek their own death, thereby making those inside even more dangerous?
The Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird nodded at this; there were always people who didn't care about their lives at any time, and people like them, who were Normal Persons, were even more out of place.
He waved his hand, signaling the Feather Sparrow Bird beneath him to rise; its wide, folded wings spread outward, accompanied by a series of high-pitched birdsongs, and Shen Yao successfully left Ling Feng Shan Mai.
Behind her, vine branches and twigs still covered the sky and earth; from afar, they looked like a boundless black cloud, terrifyingly oppressive.
Was this the strength of a quasi-Di Rank? No wonder Di Rank and Heaven Tier Beast Tamers were the pillars of society; Saint Rank above them was even rarer, and God Rank could only be seen in rumors.
Withdrawing her gaze and ignoring the looks from the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird, Shen Yao leaned directly against Xiao Guai, closed her eyes, and pondered the matters of opening a store.
The incident at Ling Feng Shan Mai was not within her expectations; fortunately, the trouble it brought was not much. In the future, when she went out, she only needed to avoid the area around Ling Feng Shan Mai, and there would likely be no problems.
Moreover, the supply after the store's opening was a long-term mission; Shen Yao would definitely have to endure some hardship at first, responsible for at least half of the cargo volume. Once she made a name for herself later, she could reduce her investment and rely on others to keep the entire store running.
While pondering, the flight speed of the Feather Sparrow Bird beneath her suddenly slowed considerably.
Shen Yao opened her eyes and saw that the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird had an ugly expression, with flying pet beasts constantly passing them quickly from the side.
"These are all people going to Ling Feng Shan Mai," the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird gritted his teeth, while not forgetting to send some content via his mobile phone.
Shen Yao didn't care about the grudges and emotions here; estimating the distance between Ling Feng Shan Mai and them, she still reminded the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird to speed up, "Leave this area."
A pet beast in the midst of advancement had a violent temper and was prone to attacking everyone or every beast appearing beside it.
The Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine's relatives were before advancement; right now, who could guarantee that patch of vines wouldn't suddenly turn hostile? They hadn't yet run out of the range where the Earth Fiend Blood Moon Vine could suddenly attack, so for safety's sake, they had to flee.
"Rest assured, I understand."
Having lived in this area for a long time, the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird knew the priorities.
All they saw was him close his eyes slightly, and the Feather Sparrow Bird beneath him shot forward with a 'whoosh', like a sharp sword flying ahead.
Only when the majestic city before them became clear did Shen Yao vaguely breathe a sigh of relief.
Huff
It should be temporarily safe!
"Boom!"
The sound of a plant breaking through the air suddenly came from behind, and the Feather Sparrow Bird, which had been flying steadily, plunged downward.
Fortunately, the Beast Tamer of the Feather Sparrow Bird was experienced; at the moment the Feather Sparrow Bird was about to land, its spread wings stabilized the falling body, allowing the two people and two beasts on the bird's back to land safely.
"Meow"
"Hou li hou li"
Xiao Guai's fur stood on end all over, Xiao Shan suddenly grew larger, and the Feather Sparrow Bird shrank its body, chirping nonstop.
Situations like theirs were everywhere around; whether falling from high altitude or tripping on flat ground, within a hundred meters of Yang City, everything was covered with the bodies of people and beasts.
The Feather Sparrow's Beast Tamer apologized repeatedly, not forgetting to return part of the deposit Shen Yao had paid, "Xiao Yu temporarily cannot fly," implying that for the remaining journey Shen Yao would have to walk back on her own two legs.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao glanced at the Feather Sparrow, which indeed lacked spirit, took back the returned deposit, and paid part of the final payment.
"We'll contact you later."
Since she would still need the Feather Sparrow as transportation in the future, Shen Yao raised her hand to pat Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan lightly, nodded, then stepped around the Feather Sparrow and its Beast Tamer to head into the city.
The sonic boom just heard clearly occurred at Ling Feng Shan Mai; they had such a huge reaction just from hearing it, it was hard to imagine what the outcome would be for others currently at Ling Feng Shan Mai.
It seemed the Ling Feng Shan Mai specialty products she brought back would produce floating space, and should sell for a good price.
Back at the residence, Shen Yao saw Shen Fu and Shen Mu standing at the doorway looking around.
"Heaven bless you, you're finally back."
Shen Mu clasped both hands and bowed again and again, then pulled Shen Yao over to look her up and down; only after confirming Shen Yao was uninjured did she bring up the matter of Ling Feng Shan Mai.
The incident happened very suddenly; sharp alarm sounds rang out over the entire sky of Yang Cheng until the Patrol Team appeared on various streets to maintain order, and only then did Shen Mu have time to contact Shen Yao.
Fortunately, at that time Shen Yao had already walked out of Ling Feng Shan Mai and had even sent a message to Shen Mu in advance; otherwise Shen Mu would not have been waiting at the doorstep, but would have run outside Yang Cheng to wait.
Shen Yao was glad Shen Mu had not gone outside Yang Cheng; otherwise, if she got injured by accident, it would be difficult to handle.
Raising her hand to point at the items on Xiao Shan's turtle shell, Shen Yao changed the topic while not forgetting to hurry Shen Fu and Shen Mu to carry them back into the room.
"There are some lop-eared rabbits inside; today they were frightened and might have problems."
Timid pet beasts could not withstand repeated frightening; at the time the situation was urgent, Shen Yao herself had neglected them, and had no mood to pay attention to these lop-eared rabbits.
Looking at the lop-eared rabbits huddled into a ball, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, Shen Yao's heart felt pain for once; this was all money, after all.
Shen Mu took it over casually and let Shen Yao rest assured, "Let me take care of them; there is still high-quality grass in the house, lop-eared rabbits breed quickly and recover easily; even if they die, there's nothing to fear."
The three of them busied themselves for nearly an hour before organizing and storing the supplies Shen Yao had brought back.
Among the living creatures there were naturally losses of varying degrees, but Shen Mu was skilled in animal husbandry; pet beasts cared for by her recovered quickly and had high survival rates. Shen Yao pondered and came up with another more profitable animal husbandry business.
By then they could also produce and sell directly, straight from the farm to the store, a one-stop breeding and sales operation, just like several large pet beast specialty stores in Yang Cheng all had dedicated supply channels.
If she remembered correctly, Meng Ting Yi's family operated this model; initially Shen Yao thought the Meng Family's scale was insufficient and crossed them out after selecting from a few people, finally choosing Cui Hengxin.
Looking at it now, the Meng Family's industrial scale could indeed be used as a reference.
Breeding, raising, selling, treating... as long as the main body of the Beast Tamer world did not change, the industries relying on it for a living would not decline.
Raising her hand to tap her chin, Shen Yao temporarily set aside the matter of expanding scale; after all, the store had not yet opened, and no one knew what the future situation would be—thinking too much about certain things was not good.
First, focus on making a splash for the grand opening.
During the following period, although Shen Yao occasionally went out to gather resources to increase the variety of goods for sale in the store, most of the time she stayed at home with Shen Mu to meet with individual Beast Tamers to discuss cooperation.
The matter of Ling Feng Shan Mai did not gradually return to normal until a month later.
The Earth Fiend Red Moon Vine had indeed advanced successfully; now it was the Shi Fry Shi Jie Vine, its body swollen by more than one circle, and even its kinship attribute had changed to an attack attribute.
The Official had issued a notification strictly forbidding Beast Tamers from gathering near Ling Feng Shan Mai, and the Official was mobilizing Di Rank Beast Tamers to come handle this Shi Fry Shi Jie Vine, preferably to exterminate or capture it, to prevent it from triggering a beast tide to attack Yang Cheng in the future.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Shen Yao's family for the time being; after all, Shen Yao was not employed by the Official, and what she needed to focus on now was the pet beast specialty store about to open.
The interior of the store had been arranged, and some supplies including pet beast young had been properly handled.
Shen Yao called a few pretty good friends, then waited for the opening day to arrive, smiling as she welcomed customers entering the store.
Most came for the three Mountain Moving Turtle Eggs, and quite a few paid money and completed procedures on the spot; there were also many Ling Feng Shan Mai specialty products inside the store. Given Ling Feng Shan Mai's current special situation, as long as one was not short of money, more or less they would buy some back for backup.
"Shen Yao, your store is really well run."
Tian Qing presented the gift she had carefully selected, and casually bought a Silver Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young, planning to take it back to give to the children at home.
"Just wanting a stable source," not mentioning the store's ownership issue, Shen Yao spoke of how their batch of graduating students each went to different posts, and the difficulty of reuniting in the future was not a small matter.
Tian Qing followed Shen Yao's topic and talked for a while; until someone called out, Shen Yao apologized and left, turning to greet others.
Busy time always passed quickly; the previously scheduled three-day opening giveaway event indeed attracted many originally hesitant crowds. Although they lost quite a few Ling Wind Beast eggs, it also brought Shen Yao extra income.
There were also Ling Feng Shan Mai specialty products whose prices had increased greatly yet still had a good market; they performed the most impressively and could be called essential resources for everyone.
Anyone who entered the store would buy some items to leave with, even if it was the cheapest fruit.
Shen Fu and Shen Mu only reacted after seeing all the store's account books; it turned out opening a store was so profitable.
Shen Yao:... Actually it could be even more profitable, but the store rent and her own supply costs were settled at normal prices, also to avoid mixing public and private, which would lead to chaos in store operations.
After all, Shen Yao's business was not only in the Beast Tamer world; other task worlds had precedents.
Shen Yao's upheld viewpoint was clear separation of public and private, ensuring the bottom line was not crossed.
This could both ensure industrial safety and maintain family harmony; even if they fell out in the future, it could avoid impacting the business, trying to compress the impact within a certain range, rather than the kind where a fallout causes everything to fall apart at the slightest provocation, leaving the entire industry with no room for rescue.
The store's operations got on track, formally managed by Shen Fu and Shen Mu; Shen Yao could thus reclaim some of her energy, focusing on accompanying her two daughters and occasionally going to the Dense Forest or Secret Realm to gather.
Until Xinxin and Mimi turned three years old, Shen Yao had a plan to open a farm, and she decisively took out the money earned through the store over these years to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Yang Cheng for planning and arrangement.
At the same time, Xiao Guai also advanced smoothly, moving from the Development Stage to the Maturity Stage; not only did its body become slender and powerful, but its skills were also mastered more comprehensively.
Compared to Xiao Guai, Xiao Shan was a step behind, but its tall and sturdy body still allowed it to steadily enter the Development Stage, with no obstacles during the period; everything went smoothly.
