169: Chapter 169 Yun Zhiyao's Little Thoughts

Hearing these words...

Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue exchanged glances, bitter smiles appearing on their faces, their laughter mixed with a sense of helplessness and deep emotion.

This reason was truly too unexpected; it caught them completely off guard!

They had never imagined that without looking at strength or family background...

Simply because Chu Feiyu had a lively personality and happened to know Chen Yi, she could latch onto such a formidable peerless monster like him.

Isn't this a bit too ridiculous?

“Sigh—”

In the end, a thousand words converged into this one heavy sigh.

Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue looked at Chu Feiyu and realized she seemed to have moved on from the painful emotions of being abandoned by Bai Song.

As long as their daughter could be happy and joyful, they would be satisfied.

Calming their emotions slightly, Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue bowed deeply together, their eyes filled with sincerity and earnestness.

“Brother Chen Yi, we entrust our daughter to you from now on!”

“If there's anything we can help with, don't hesitate to tell us; we will certainly do our utmost to assist!”

Hearing this, the heavy stone in Chen Yi's heart finally fell, and he breathed a secret sigh of relief.

This counts as having successfully fooled them; not bad at all!

Thus, after thinking for a moment, he made his request: “There is one thing I need help with—I hope you can use your connections to help me gather news on the whereabouts of light and dark attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasures!”

“I'm very short on those two things. I only need to find their location; money is not an issue!”

“Also, regarding my talent abilities, just don't go spreading it around!”

“Understood!”

Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue agreed without the slightest hesitation.

They were well aware of Chen Yi's importance and understood Chu Feiyu's feelings for him.

Forget just helping find the whereabouts of these heaven and earth spiritual treasures; even if they were asked to purchase these treasures directly, they would do so without hesitation.

As long as it meant Chu Feiyu could live well, they were willing to give everything.

Chu Feiyu stood quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on Chen Yi from start to finish.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes overflowing with endless admiration.

She had finally found the man worth giving her all for!

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Bai family manor.

Yun Zhiyao was sitting cross-legged quietly on the floor of a stone pavilion, while the butler, Li Xuefeng, was fully concentrated on guiding energy for her.

As time passed, Yun Zhiyao slowly opened her pair of aqua-blue eyes.

She frowned slightly, looking at the butler as she spoke, “Old Li, your skill seems to have regressed a bit! I feel like a lot of spiritual power was wasted—”

The butler responded with an apologetic face, “My apologies, Eldest Miss. I'm getting old, and my abilities aren't what they used to be—”

Yun Zhiyao nodded slightly. “Fine! You've worked hard all these years. In a while, I'll go find Bai Song to cultivate, and then you can return to the main family to retire!”

Hearing this, Butler Li wasn't particularly excited; instead, he showed an expression as if he wanted to say something but was holding back.

He hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to say, “Eldest Miss, regarding establishing a contract with this Bai Song person, I think you should think twice. This man's past—”

Before he could finish, a dark shadow suddenly materialized in front of them.

The shadow knelt on one knee, reporting to Yun Zhiyao and the butler: “Reporting! Eldest Miss, Elder Li, that Chu Feiyu we were tracking awakened her bloodline today and entered a Contract Hotel with another man. She should have already completed the contract!”

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhiyao's brows instantly knitted together.

She had sent people to track Chu Feiyu originally to see what kind of woman she was, and also to investigate whether Bai Song would send anyone to contact her.

Even though she was full of confidence in herself and didn't think she would lose to Chu Feiyu...

Having her own man constantly thinking about a childhood sweetheart still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Hmph, I thought she was some impressive character, but it turns out to be just this? Contracted to some unknown man the very next day after being dumped? She really is a loose woman!”

“Should we continue to monitor this woman?”

“No need!”

Yun Zhiyao shook her head. “These next few days, gather information on the geniuses participating in the Beast Taming Contest this year! As long as I can take a top ten spot, my position as family head will basically be secure! Your benefits will certainly be plenty!”

“Understood!”

The shadow responded respectfully and then instantly vanished from the spot.

It was as if he had never appeared.

Yun Zhiyao's gaze was fixed on the direction where the shadow had disappeared, an unprecedented gravity flashing in her eyes.

This year's Beast Taming Contest was of extraordinary significance!

Geniuses from many Beast Tamer factions had chosen to participate in this session; the competition was bound to be exceptionally fierce.

Luo Yuqing of the Magic City Luo Family, Wang Yulong of the Hanbei Wang Family, Lin Xiao of the Ye City Lin Family, Qi Lianmeng of the Flower City Qi Family, and Gao Wenyu of the Yanjing Gao Family—these were all world-renowned peerless monsters!

Every single one of them was an SS-rank existence with extraordinary strength!

As monsters of the same generation, they had met several times when they were young, and their sense of competition had long been deeply rooted.

Who would be willing to fall behind others?

However, she had only awakened an S-rank Bloodline, which was truly somewhat embarrassing.

In order not to be left behind, she could only put effort into her choice of Beast Tamer!

With the augmentation of One Heart, One Mind, her individual combat power would definitely not be inferior to ordinary SS-rank Bloodline spirit beasts!

The top ten could be said to be within her grasp!

“Elder Li, I know Bai Song has major personality issues, but I have no other choice! Don't mention this again!”

“I understand, Eldest Miss!”

Hearing this, Li Xuefeng said no more.

He only needed to be responsible for Yun Zhiyao's logistics!

Time flew by like a white horse passing a gap, gone in an instant.

On the morning two days later, Chen Yi deeply experienced what it felt like to be unable to get out of bed.

He secretly complained in his heart.

Damn it, his constitution value, which was equivalent to 18 times that of a normal person, plus the double stamina recovery bonus effect, actually still couldn't withstand The girls' combined assault.

This was truly too heaven-defying!

Too ridiculous!

He couldn't help but lament that he seemed to have contracted a group of incredible women!

Demanding to cultivate affinity every night—if it were any other Beast Tamer, they probably would have dropped dead from exhaustion long ago!

But because of this, Lin Mengxue and Luo Shiyin both achieved immense growth.

[Ding! Lin Mengxue's affinity has reached 140 points, meeting the requirement for Rank 4, Stage 5. Congratulations to Contracted Spirit Beast Lin Mengxue for successfully learning the new skill—Dragon Roar!]

[Condense spiritual power to unleash a roar, dealing devastating blows to enemies over a large area!]

[Ding! Luo Shiyin's affinity has reached 120 points, meeting the requirement for Rank 4, Stage 5. Congratulations to Contracted Spirit Beast Luo Shiyin for successfully learning the new skill—Eye of the Storm!]

[Condense spiritual power to create an eye of wind, gathering enemies over a large area into the center of the storm!]

Both were large-scale AoE output skills; that's two more moves for clearing out mobs!

Very nice indeed, very nice!

At the same time...

The sisters Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong, with the diligent help of Chen Yi and Su Taotao, also broke through to Rank 3, Stage 5 one after another and comprehended new skills.

Compared to before, their strength had seen a massive improvement!
