In the end, Huang TIelan didn’t accept the gift.

However, this didn’t affect her passion for researching the beast card’s cultivation fluid. After working hard for some time, she really managed to concoct the cultivation fluid and helped raise the Rotten Ent Prowler to four-star.

At the moment she succeeded, Miss Tienan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

-Now that the beast card has risen to four stars, I won’t be able to use it. Zhang Xiaoche, that wicked fellow, will have no way to force the beast card on me!-

Zhang Che was very excited to see Huang Tielan succeed, too. He couldn’t resist going up to hug Huang Tielan tightly, praising her, “Hah, our Miss Tienan is indeed the best!”

If she could continue growing at this speed, a day would come when she became a super good beast card cultivator. At that time, it wouldn’t be too hard for him to level up his mid-tier beast cards.

After all, the cultivation methods provided by his data eyes were the most optimal, ignoring whether Zhang Che could get his hands on those ingredients.

Without an experienced beast card cultivator to find substitutions for some of the ingredients, the recipes were only that: recipes. There would be no way to put them to practical use.

The two rubbed their heads together for a long time… well, Zhang Che didn’t dare to get all handsy again. Even now, the tip of his tongue was still hurting. Zhang Che suddenly said to Huang Tielan in a whisper, “I’ll be making a trip to the beast world again to raise my beastmaster tier to Tier Six. I’ll have more time to keep you company afterwards.”

Huang Tielan could tell how sorry Zhang Che was from his voice. She couldn’t help but gave him a peck on the lips, smiling, “Dummy, we’ll have plenty of time together in the future. Of course we should strive to get stronger now. Moreover, school has officially started. I don’t have much time to be at home, either.”

Zhang Che was moved. He didn’t speak any further. Instead, he tilted his head and brought it closer.

———

It was now noon.

Zhang Che stood outside a spatial gateway in the Bei Du suburbs, a determined glint in his eyes. He pumped his fist in the air, mumbling to himself, “Do your best, I’ll definitely make it this time!”

He had come to a firm decision to not return from the beast world before advancing to Tier Six.

In any case, there was nothing to worry about at home any more.

Although the conflict between the Miyazaki Clan and the mysterious faction from the Bei Mei region had come to a halt due to the intervention of some large factions, they were severely weakened nonetheless. They could only keep to themselves and lick their wounds for the foreseeable future. It was impossible for them to remember someone insignificant like Zhang Che.

His great-aunt’s family had come to Bei Du, too, and were doing their best to manage Zhang Che’s beast card shop, Premium House. At last, Sun Lan didn’t have to stay at home alone all the time.

Some distance away, a few middle-aged beastmasters saw Zhang Che’s young appearance. They couldn’t help shaking their heads, sighing, “Ai, another young boy filled with aspirations. Hopefully he doesn’t die in the beast world.”

The youngsters nowadays were becoming more and more ignorant of the heights of the world.

Judging by this young boy’s appearance, he was only ten years old during the previous beast swarm. He wouldn’t have seen the terrifying scene of that endless spread of exotic beasts everywhere.

Did he think that going into the beast world to hunt the exotic beasts was something so simple?

It wouldn’t be so bad if he was lucky. If he was unlucky and encountered an exotic beast whose strength far exceeded his, this fine young man would find himself never coming out again.

—

Zhang Che had no idea that he had become a typical teenager in the eyes of others. Harboring excitement and aspirations in his heart, he crossed the spatial gateway. He didn’t stay in the safety zone at all, and directly passed through the lively crowd, picking a random direction and summoned the Purple Jade Condor, flying off to the distance.

Behind him, the middle-aged beastmasters who were just discussing how long he could survive in the beast world froze one after another, standing there, and were left speechless for a long while.

In the end, it turned out he wasn’t an ignorant teenager, but a mighty beastmaster!

Zhang Che, who had unknowingly fooled others with his appearance, didn’t care about what others thought of him. At this moment, all he was thinking about was to raise his beastmaster tier to Tier Six as soon as possible. His overall strength would increase greatly at that time.

In terms of defense, the six-star legend-quality armor he reverse-robbed from that strong black man would guarantee Zhang Che’s safety to a much higher degree. After all, just relying on the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s Purple Crystal Armor skill was too risky!

The skill only lasted an hour, but its cooldown time was a whole day! If Zhang Che came across two powerful exotic beasts in a row, it would be very dangerous for him.

Not much needed to be said in terms of attack power.

If he successfully advanced to Tier Six, he would be able to employ the six-star epic-quality Earthen Rock Demon. Zhang Che would truly step into the ranks of the mighty at that time, especially since the Earthen Rock Demon’s False Domain was a large area gravity field, able to slow down his enemies greatly. This would enable his other babies to display much greater offensive strength.

After Zhang Che left on the Purple Jade Condor, he didn’t notice that in the safety zone, a man with concealed hostility had looked at him a few times, sizing him up.

“That’s the kid aunt talked about?” Zhen Long watched as Zhang Che gradually disappeared into the horizon. A faint killing intent rose in his heart.

In the past, the matters between Zhen Manting and Huang Juyun had led to the relationship between the two families badly worsening. Although they didn’t fight openly, there were many struggles under the surface.

Of course, if that was the extent of it, Zhen Long wouldn’t have much of an opinion about Zhang Che. Alas, he saw Huang Tielan some time ago by coincidence, and was immediately attracted to her.

From his point of view, if he managed to pursue Huang Tielan, not only would he get the beauty, he could also help his aunt get back at them in the dark. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

However, this country bumpkin suddenly popped out of nowhere and had shamelessly married himself into the Huang family, becoming Huang Tielan’s boyfriend!

With his reputation as one of the top three geniuses of the younger generation in Bei Du city, did he have to worry about failing to pursue the Huang family’s daughter otherwise?

“A pity that Aunt doesn’t let us help get back at them, nor make a move on that kid casually. If not…”

Thinking about this, a strange glint suddenly flashed in Zhen Long’s eyes.

“Aunt only forbids us from taking action in Hua Xia, because people would find out what happened in the end, and the consequences would be out of our control! But what if I killed that kid in the beast world without anyone knowing? Are there any satellites in the skies of the beast world?”

Thinking of that, Zhen Long immediately became eager. With a wave of his hand, he beckoned the three high-tier beastmaster bodyguards his family had arranged to protect him over. The group mounted their flying beasts, chasing in the direction Zhang Che disappeared into.

Unbeknownst to him, he would never make it back alive from this trip…
