Main Character:
Shen Yao
This trip out has yielded an abundant harvest.
When Shen Yao left Yang City, she never expected to stay in Jing City for such a long time, but plans cannot keep up with changes; the beast tide in Jing City was something no one anticipated, and seamlessly following the beast tide came a period of resource saturation. Since Shen Yao wanted to develop her career, she could not miss this opportunity.
Father Shen and Mother Shen simply rushed to the airport. Shen Cheng and Shen Ying could not get leave for the time being due to their internships, but the family had long since agreed to gather for dinner tonight, having not seen each other for nearly a year.
Xinxin and Mimi were not unfamiliar with Father Shen and Mother Shen, mainly because even if they could not meet face-to-face, they had more efficient means of communication, so there was no situation of not recognizing them.
With a few "aiyo" cries, Mother Shen heartachingly pulled the two children into her embrace, doting on them, saying she would make time to accompany them next time she went to Jing City.
Father Shen helped take the luggage from Shen Yao's hands. The family of several boarded the transport waiting outside and reached their doorstep in just half an hour.
It was no different from when Shen Yao left; in fact, because the family business was growing increasingly prosperous, many rare plants had been planted in the small courtyard.
Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan jumped out happily doing their beast steps and roaring. Heaven knows how suppressed they felt in Jing City; returning to Yang City was still the most comfortable.
"Come inside and rest quickly. The family business doesn't need anyone watching over it during this period."
One wonders if it was the stance of the Jing City Cui Family (Li Suyan) that let certain people in Yang City sniff out a different scent, but during this time the Shen Family's status had risen with the tide.
Thanks to Father Shen and Mother Shen keeping a low profile for many years, knowing some things cannot lose their sense of proportion, they steadied their footing and did not act recklessly. Otherwise, faced with so many sugar-coated bullets thrown their way, who could resist such enormous temptation?
Shen Cheng and Shen Ying nearly failed to hold their ground. Fortunately, Father Shen and Mother Shen were there to hold the line, occasionally reminding them not to let the two children fall into pits. Only thus did they protect them through the initial internship period and into the relevant circles.
After all, Shen Cheng and Shen Ying are not Shen Yao; the two of them tied together still don't have Shen Yao's talent.
And as early as the start of university, Shen Yao had discussed future work plans with the two of them.
Shen Ying and Shen Cheng both preferred to be conservative. Compared to pioneering and enterprising, they were more willing to advance steadily and solidly.
Therefore, Shen Yao arranged for the two to enter official departments after graduation. Moreover, with the financial support she provided, as long as Shen Cheng and Shen Ying did not perform poorly, climbing up was only a matter of time.
Walking into the room and putting away her luggage, Shen Yao took the opportunity to wash up and tidy herself, then threw herself onto the soft big bed and fell asleep.
As for Xinxin and Mimi? With Father Shen and Mother Shen looking after them, Shen Yao did not worry at all. Besides, these two cubs slept a lot on the Peng Bird's back, so right now was when they were energetic. Let them make a fuss.
In a daze, when Shen Yao opened her eyes, the sky had already darkened.
Through the window, she could see large swathes of orange-yellow evening glow drifting in the distance. Shen Yao raised a hand to stifle a yawn, put on her slippers, stood up, and went downstairs.
Shen Ying and Shen Cheng had returned from their internship departments and were playing with Xinxin and Mimi. Father Shen and Mother Shen were personally in the kitchen preparing dinner. The air was filled with the fragrance of food.
The family's several pet beasts were either lying or sitting, all sprawled in various spots in the living room. Their comfortable, contented expressions were uncannily human-like.
"Big Sister"
"Mommy"
"..."
The several people in the living room saw Shen Yao appear and all greeted her with smiles. Shen Yao nodded, walked to the sofa herself and sat down, unable to resist leaning her whole body back into a recline.
Relaxing her spirit, emptying her emotions, Shen Yao lowered her head slightly, not moving, until Shen Cheng and Shen Ying leaned over. Two smiling faces, one left, one right, occupied Shen Yao's field of vision.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao raised an eyebrow. Looking at the two rubbing their palms, looking like they wanted to speak but hesitated, she knew they had something to say.
"Big Sister, I want to plan on forming a personal beast taming team."
Regarding this idea, Shen Cheng had pondered for a long time. He was voicing it now because the internship was about to end.
He understood that this kind of capricious change of mind was wrong, but compared to the overly stable official departments, going to secret realms and the wilderness still yielded more benefits.
Shen Yao lightly tapped Shen Cheng's back of hand, letting him explain why he was unwilling to enter the official sector. Clearly, before she left, Shen Cheng had not changed his mind. Now he suddenly wanted to go be an individual operator — surely it wasn't a momentary fever?
Shen Cheng explained that his reasons for forming a personal beast taming team were, first, resources, and second, power.
Having witnessed the Shen Family's changes during this period, Shen Cheng more deeply realized the benefits of authority.
The Jing City Cui Family is so far from Yang City, yet Big Sister merely went to attend a birthday banquet and it made Yang City's powerful families open wide the doors of convenience. One can see that overwhelming strength can sometimes play an extremely large role.
The timid Shen Cheng was continuously spurred on by these events. After repeated back-and-forth struggle, he finally lifted his foot and took this step before him.
Shen Yao expressed no opinion on Shen Cheng's choice — only that he should consider it well and not regret it. She turned and asked Shen Ying if she also had this kind of idea.
Shen Ying:...
Shen Ying shook her head, smiling bitterly to indicate she was clearly someone who couldn't endure hardship. She couldn't deny she hadn't been tempted, but Shen Ying herself was too open about it; she couldn't do it.
She wasn't that material, so there was no need to force herself upward. Working honestly in an official department could also help out.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao agreed with a nod, while also telling Shen Cheng to be more careful. If there was anything he needed help with, just say so. University graduation was coming up soon.
Hearing this, Shen Cheng embarrassedly touched his nose, saying the places where he needed help were still a bit weak. Well, after all, he was currently penniless; even funds and a venue needed to rely on Shen Yao to provide.
However, they weren't entirely without a plan. Shen Cheng stated that the gains from the personal beast taming team's hunts would be given first to the shops under the Shen Family's name.
"Big Sister, believe in my ability. The beast taming team will get better and better."
Shen Cheng spoke with certainty. Although he had no ability at this moment, that didn't mean he would still be so in the future.
The heart that wanted to improve beat very vigorously. After Shen Yao finished speaking, she kept staring at Shen Yao's expression. Seeing Big Sister's face unchanged, she couldn't tell if it was complex or sad.
"Words you speak yourself must be fulfilled." Shen Yao smiled faintly, then transferred a large sum of startup capital to Shen Cheng. This money was not a small amount relative to Shen Cheng, but to Shen Yao it was still a bit insufficient to look at.
"Take it and use it. I look forward to you achieving results." She had also relied on others to start her career and develop. Shen Cheng being down on his luck now didn't matter. As long as he had the heart to bravely advance, she would appropriately continue to support him. This was the feedback the two of them had given Shen Yao during their wilderness training back then.
Shen Cheng's eyes were bright. As Shen Yao's words fell, he excitedly patted his chest in guarantee.
Watching this scene, Shen Ying sitting to the side was envious beyond measure, but she did not change her mind. She was still determined to deeply cultivate and develop in the official department. Who said only powerful beast tamers can provide support for their family? Excellent official personnel are no weaker than beast tamers.
Dinner was a feast meticulously prepared by Father Shen and Mother Shen. Although it couldn't compare to professionals' perfection in color, aroma, and taste, the whole family sitting together to eat — just this atmosphere was enough to make one happy.
Xinxin and Mimi, the two little ones, ate the most joyfully. The others were all adults; while eating and drinking, they didn't forget to communicate feelings and exchange news. After all, Shen Yao had not lived in Yang City for nearly a year. Big and small news, though not important, still couldn't be left unknown.
From the few famous families in Yang City, down to the businesses around the shops, as well as the secret realms and dense forests located in the suburbs, and the aggressive wild pet beasts.
Jiu Jiu Ba Ba news poured into Shen Yao's head, successfully making her dizzy and lightheaded.
The evening digestion activity simply took place at home, fobbing off the overly gossipy system; Shen Yao raised a hand to rub her round, plump belly, pondering in her heart how to break through her business layout.
Jing Shi could only be considered small-time; the focus still had to be on Yang Shi.
After all, shop businesses still required one's own strength to support them; she could borrow Li Suyan's name, but when it came time to cut the cake, Li Suyan, far away in Jing Shi, could not influence Yang Shi.
"Ultimately, one still has to be strong oneself."
Shen Yao muttered softly in her heart, then turned her gaze to Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai sprawled at the doorway.
The Xuanbai Swift Shadow Cat, restored to its normal size, looked stronger than a cheetah from afar, swaying its beautiful big tail, full of the lazy demeanor of a feline animal.
As for Xiao Shan, after growing to the size of a millstone, it honestly shrank into its turtle shell; its trait mutation was still in effect, and since Shen Yao had not spared on food and drink, the Mountain-Moving Turtle that had entered maturity was still evolving—this was also a problem the Breeder had mentioned back then: Xiao Shan was inherently special, its advancement had no threshold, and it broke through even more easily.
Don't look at how Xiao Guai is more formidable than Xiao Shan right now; in no time at all, Xiao Shan will surpass Xiao Guai and achieve the accomplishments Xiao Guai has reached.
The things in Shen Yao's space, including those from the previous world and even the world before that, useful or not, she had Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan sample them all.
Xiao Guai's digestive ability was obviously not as good as Xiao Shan's; perhaps this also had to do with racial characteristics? The Mountain-Moving Turtle was a typical king of cost performance; tsk, if the Secret Realm she had visited before hadn't already closed, she would definitely have squeezed in again—those turtle eggs represented money and resources.
…………
For the few days after returning, Shen Yao did not go out, but chose to stay at home.
Until she finished all the busywork, Shen Yao rallied her spirits and formally threw herself into her career.
Some of the resources Li Suyan had sent with a grand wave of her hand when she left happened to be useful; Shen Yao was not pretentious, taking them to create value.
Not only that, she also took a fancy to several locations with good geography, planning to buy them to open stores.
The breeding farm had developed to a stable scale and could appropriately expand the types and quantities of pet beasts; at the same time, she contacted some of the connections Li Suyan had left behind to sell them. Shen Yao soon strung her business into a single line, forming a closed loop from top to bottom, so she could better grow it.
Time passed bit by bit, and Shen Yao leaped to become a nouveau riche of Yang Shi.
Some forces that originally did not take her seriously had to seriously reevaluate this opponent, and would even occasionally make a move to interfere.
Of course, those who did this were still relatively restrained; after all, even if you don't respect the monk, you respect the Buddha—Li Suyan was still around, and her development was getting more and more formidable. They did not dare to truly offend Shen Yao to death; the Shen Family was merely a small problem, and more importantly, Li Suyan's side would be hard to explain to.
Taking advantage of these people not striking too hard, Shen Yao crazily developed her business.
Whether useful or not, first cast a wide net to scoop up everything; if it could be developed, increase investment; if it couldn't, directly discard and abandon it.
Doing this naturally had pros and cons, but it was also the fastest way to accumulate. Compared to Shen Ying, who was still grinding away in the Official Department, and Shen Cheng, who had just started forming his personal Beast Taming Team, Shen Yao could simply be called a business genius.
More and more families discovered Shen Yao's uniqueness; more and more forces chose to step in to stop her, striking harder each time, but the results were not satisfactory—instead, they indirectly propelled the soaring of Shen Yao's business.
Wedding Guests: ……
Shen Yao truly stood firm in Yang Shi and squeezed into these forces by relying on Xiao Shan's smooth advancement, from a Yellow Tier Mountain-Moving Turtle to a Xuan Tier Mist Cloud Turtle.
Compared to the common Xuan Tier Sea-Stepping Turtle, the Mist Cloud Turtle was obviously a rarer species; it was tall and sturdy, and could open its mouth to spray out a mist that made people lose their direction, used both to hide traces and for sneak attacks.
But they were both turtles; their main abilities were still in defense, and other skills could be called auxiliary to defense.
No matter what, they were Xuan Tier Pet Beasts, with formidable power and great impact.
Xiao Shan's smooth advancement saved Shen Yao a lot of trouble, as if all the problems that had plagued them were now easily solved.
Yang Shi was not like Jing Shi; Di Tier and Heaven Tier Beast Tamers were everywhere, and Xuan Tier Beast Tamers here were already pillars of society. The highest was a Di Tier Beast Tamer; Yue Ning, who had contracted the Shi Fry Shi Jie Vine back then, had come all the way from other cities. Certainly, there was the reason of the Official Department's nationwide mission release, but more importantly, Yang Shi had too few Di Tier Beast Tamers; they could not contract the Shi Fry Shi Jie Vine and could only reluctantly sell it cheaply to outsiders.
Shen Yao got into the habit of bringing Xiao Shan with her when she went out; with the Mist Cloud Turtle on display, ordinary people dared not make excessive demands.
Shen Yao's business got better and better, and the stores under her name were opened all over Yang Shi.
By this time Xinxin and Mimi were already ten years old; every day they carried small school bags, with Xiao Guai taking them to school and picking them up. Because Shen Yao had them drink Cultivation Agents without cease, the two, at such a young age, were early on determined to awaken Beast Tamer talent.
For this, Li Suyan specially prepared contract pet beasts for the two: two Xuan Tier Dream Bun Eggs; although not yet hatched, they had been reserved early.
You must know that the Qi Mengyao evolved from the Dream Bun clan; one could see how much Li Suyan valued the two children—no one else received such treatment.
"Could it be that Cui Hengqi and Cui Mingyue are just too useless, so Li Suyan looks down on them?"
Shen Yao was surprised, thinking to herself that the system was singing Li Suyan's praises about how good she was to her mother and daughter; although the words were sincere, there was also quite a bit of water in them.
One had to admit Li Suyan was indeed not bad; a gentleman judges by deeds, not intentions. Li Suyan had provided their family with a great deal of help and resources, even increasing investment because Xinxin and Mimi had outstanding abilities. But these were not without expectation of return; there was no need to deify her excessively.
