Chapter 328: Going Home! Zhu Xiaoshuang Is Watched in Seven-Star City

"She hasn't reported back yet, but it's not a big problem—she won't run away!" Zhu Xiaoshuang turned to Su Yang. "How about you? Did you break through to Platinum level?"

"I broke through. All my companion beasts have reached Platinum Low-Grade."

Zhu Xiaoshuang picked up her teacup and gulped down a large mouthful of strong tea.

She needed to calm her nerves.

Zhu Xiaoshuang had originally thought that with Su Yang's exceptional talent, two months might be enough to raise one Platinum Low-Grade ferocious beast—barely meeting the standard of a Platinum-level Beast Tamer would already be impressive.

Now, all four of his companion beasts had been upgraded to Platinum level.

It was like he'd cheated the system!

Based on Zhu Xiaoshuang's knowledge of Su Yang's companion beasts, Su Yang with four Platinum Low-Grade beasts could even have a chance to defeat a Platinum High-Grade Beast Tamer!

"The composition of Emergency Squad Fourteen's Team Four has been confirmed. I've already applied for you to compete for the team leader position—it'll likely happen by the end of this month!" Zhu Xiaoshuang said. "After two months of harsh training on Mount Yandang, you can go home to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle."

"Yes!"

After being away for two months, Su Yang was starting to miss home.

Even experienced wanderers, mercenaries, and adventurers rarely stayed continuously for over two months in the wild, where ferocious beasts were abundant and Full of dangers.

Staying in the wild for too long leads to poor rest and forces one to constantly stay on edge, alert for sudden dangers—this dual burden on body and mind could easily crush a Beast Tamer.

The pressure would be even greater if one were alone.

Su Yang was no exception.

But he had Storm Eagle and Earth Rampager, which could detect dangers in advance—otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure it.

If he'd been unlucky enough to encounter a Star Radiance or King-level ferocious beast, he might have died outright.

One could only say that reconnaissance abilities were absolutely vital in the wild—matters of life and death.

After requesting five days' leave, the Emergency Squad's military vehicle delivered Su Yang back to his villa.

As soon as he returned to the villa and walked into the foyer, Su Yang saw the large sofa and collapsed onto it.

His body sank into the sofa, and he had no desire to get up.

A maid brought an iced drink and placed it on the side table; Su Yang raised his hand, and the maid handed the drink to him.

He downed the entire glass in one go; the maid took the cup back, and Su Yang lay still.

Not long after, Su Yang's mother, Zhang Xiuru, entered through the back courtyard.

Her son had been away on a mission for two months; she was still worried.

"Mom!"

"You're back!"

"Mm."

"I'll go cook you braised pork!"

In the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao also came home from school.

Seeing Su Yang, she immediately dropped her small schoolbag and sat down on the sofa in delight.

"Brother!"

"Hmm?"

Su Yang turned his head to look at his little sister.

She seemed to have grown taller lately—she was probably over one meter sixty now.

"My friends really love your signed photo!"

"Forget it!" Su Yang waved his hand. "I don't make a living selling photos."

"You've been gone for two months again—what kind of mission were you on?"

"I spent over two months on Mount Yandang."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Brother, I heard there are many powerful ferocious beasts on Mount Yandang?"

"There really are—plenty of them."

Su Yang nodded.

"Brother, you're my real brother, and you're so strong—I'm sure I'm not bad either?" Su Xiaoxiao whispered. "Next year I'll be thirteen—I can take the Awakening Ceremony. I wonder if I'll awaken…"

"Why worry about that?" Su Yang laughed. "Even if you don't awaken, I can still support you!"

"I want to raise a companion beast—something like a Rainbow Illusionary Butterfly, or even a Azure Cloud Hawk…"

Su Yang thought his little sister might not distinguish between companion beasts and ordinary pets.

"I've seen pictures of the Rainbow Illusionary Butterfly in books—they're so beautiful!" As she spoke of the Rainbow Illusionary Butterfly, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled. "And the books say it's a rare mental-type ferocious beast with incredibly powerful mental skills. Many of my classmates want one."

"They really are beautiful!" Su Yang nodded.

He had to admit that.

Among Platinum-level ferocious beasts, the Rainbow Illusionary Butterfly's wings were the most beautiful.

Under sunlight, their wing colors became extraordinarily dazzling.

At night, they emitted colorful bioluminescence, appearing utterly magnificent.

Of course, he had no intention of commenting on their taste for brain matter.

"Brother, if I become a Beast Tamer someday, can you give me a Rainbow Illusionary Butterfly?"

"Of course!"

Su Yang agreed without hesitation.

He already had a Rainbow Illusionary Butterfly on hand.

"Xiaoxiao, don't disturb your brother—he just got back today!"

"Mm!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

Su Yang thought for a moment, waved his hand, and the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly appeared in the hall.

Su Xiaoxiao, upon seeing the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly flapping its wings in the hall, gasped and covered her mouth.

"I just happen to have one—you can play with it!"

Su Yang had already communicated with the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly beforehand, and it did not refuse.

Of his four ferocious beasts, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly had the best temperament.
