Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 222: Chapter 144: Liaoyuan Cluster Fire and Bitter Anger Beast

Right now, Shen Xuan only had one Guardian Beast: the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother.

An increase in the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother’s Tier and Quality was equivalent to an increase in Shen Xuan’s own strength.

Even though he had become a Celestial Destiny Seeker, back when he was in an environment like the Greenfield Tavern, Shen Xuan still felt a sense of inferiority when interacting with others.

But after attending Xin Xia Academy for a few days and clearly feeling how others treated him, Shen Xuan gradually shed his sense of inferiority and began to grow more confident.

Zhong Yi was very pleased with Shen Xuan’s transformation.

Zhong Yi hadn’t been speaking with Shen Xuan for long when Zheng Yufeng arrived at his residence with two young girls. Zhong Chenghuai led them into the main house.

The two girls, only thirteen or fourteen years old and looking even younger than Zhong Ling, were the very Deceit Beast Masters whose Deceit Beasts could synergize with each other.

Both Zheng Yufeng and Chen Yin had mentioned these two to Zhong Yi on more than one occasion.

From their previous conversations, Zhong Yi could clearly sense how highly both Chen Yin and Zheng Yufeng regarded the two girls.

One of the girls, who were both only thirteen or fourteen, had short, cheek-length hair and wore minimalist sportswear.

The other had waist-length hair, wore a light red dress, and had several exquisite crystal hairpins clipped at her temples.

One could discern their personalities from their attire alone.

At that moment, both girls were looking at Zhong Yi nervously.

Their expressions were stiff, and they fidgeted, not knowing what to do with their hands and feet.

The short-haired girl was so flustered that her gait became uncoordinated as she walked.

"I’ve brought them to you!"

"Sun Ya, He Guoguo, quickly greet Lord Su Sheng."

As Zheng Yufeng finished speaking, the two girls timidly greeted Zhong Yi.

The short-haired girl, He Guoguo, handled it a little better.

The other girl, Sun Ya, who wore the crystal hairpins, was as nervous as a little ostrich, her head bowed so low it nearly touched the ground.

Shen Xuan had gone to the study to read before Zheng Yufeng arrived.

Zhong Ling, meanwhile, was beside Zhong Yi, fiddling with the Blade Butterflies that had just been enhanced by the Craftsman Apprentices under Zhao Kai’s command.

Zhong Ling’s Soul Vein Mother Butterfly had now reached the Extraordinary Tier, allowing for the successful expansion of her Blade Butterfly legion.

Zhong Ling watched Sun Ya and He Guoguo with curiosity. Growing up, she never had any friends her own age.

Deep down, Zhong Ling really hoped Zhong Yi would take Sun Ya and He Guoguo under his wing, as it would mean two new playmates for her.

"Come, both of you sit down. Let’s talk."

"Xiaolingdang, have Big Bell bring a fruit platter for them and Uncle Zheng."

Instead of immediately asking Sun Ya and He Guoguo to summon their Deceit Beasts, Zhong Yi first started a conversation with them.

He learned a great deal from them about newly manifested Bizarre creatures.

From their stories, Zhong Yi learned that the Starlight City authorities had always been very diligent when it came to nurturing newly manifested Bizarre creatures.

Sun Yushi and Wang Ning had met at Zhong Yi’s residence before dinner.

Zhong Yi had Zhong Chenghuai arrange rooms for them, opting not to have them stand guard outside the main house indefinitely.

Sun Yushi’s potential was extremely high, and Wang Ning’s was surely not far behind.

They had been assigned as his and Shen Xuan’s guards, and if their character and temperament proved to be excellent, Zhong Yi was prepared to take them under his wing and make them truly his own people.

Although this felt a bit like poaching talent from the Starlight Army, if he did decide to recruit Wang Ning and Sun Yushi, Zhong Yi would invest the resources to develop them properly.

Wang Ning and Sun Yushi were both adjusting well to their new roles.

Neither of them was curious about Sun Ya and He Guoguo; their minds were entirely focused on how to best protect Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan from now on.

And just as Zhong Yi had considered recruiting Wang Ning and Sun Yushi because of their Talent, they too began to have ideas of their own after becoming his guards.

Unlike Wang Ning and Sun Yushi, Qin Ruyue was extremely curious about Sun Ya and He Guoguo’s Deceit Beasts.

Synergies between Bizarre creatures were not exceedingly rare.

For example, if two poison-wielding Bizarre creatures had toxins that interacted with each other inside a single target, that could be considered a form of synergy.

However, this kind of basic synergy didn’t do much to increase the value of the two Bizarre creatures.

Bizarre creatures with extremely strong synergistic abilities were rarely found together.

But when they were, the effects they produced were often astounding.

The Purifying Moon Sect had no such combinations, but it was rumored that within the Mass Divine Sect, every Deceit Knight possessed a Prince of Deceit or Princess Guǐ that could synergize with their own Deceit Beast.

Qin Ruyue herself had once thought of finding a Bizarre creature that could synergize with her Night-Cutting Spider.

But in all these years, she had never found one.

Zhong Yi chatted with Sun Ya and He Guoguo for a good while, and the two girls were no longer as nervous as they had been when they first arrived.

The fruit platter Big Bell had brought for He Guoguo was now nearly empty.

Zhong Yi glanced at He Guoguo, who was frantically stuffing pineapple into her mouth, before speaking to Sun Ya, who had just placed the fruit platter on the table. "Xiaoya, why don’t you summon your Deceit Beast first?"

Zhong Yi’s words made both Sun Ya and the pineapple-stuffing He Guoguo immediately tense up again.

Neither of them had forgotten the purpose of their visit.

They had come to join Zhong Yi’s faction as a team, and to become Bizarre agents under the control of the Celestial Destiny Seeker’s Contracted Moon Eyes Bellflower.
