360: Chapter 360 Wanting a Sense of Peace

The six people took a step forward and bowed ninety degrees.

"Lord Chen Yi, we are deeply grateful for your care during this time! But we---have always felt some unease in our hearts!"

"We all returned to the Wa Country recently to bring our families over, but because of this move, we have completely fallen out with the Wa government."

"The Wa Country has few people to begin with. As Spirit Beasts with SS-rank Bloodlines, we enjoyed many welfare subsidies from the Wa Country, and the government invested a lot of resources in us."

"Now, without any explanation, we've run off with a genius from the Dragon Country, and even Lord Shi Yuying's whereabouts are unknown—the Wa government thinks you killed her."

"Killing their people and snatching the high-level Spirit Beasts they spent heavily to cultivate, how could the Wa government accept this? Naturally, conflicts broke out."

"Of course, the Wa Country only dares to shout a few words---facing an absolute gap in top-tier combat power, they could only watch us take our families away and return to the Dragon Country, then vent wildly on Twitter."

"But this also means we can never return to the Wa Country."

"We are actually quite uneasy. In this unfamiliar place, our contract partner is also an unstable factor like the Demon Sovereign---"

"We have already sworn loyalty to you, and you have also stated that you would protect and nurture us! It's just---this sense of unease is still too strong---"

The six finished speaking and lowered their heads.

Chen Yi listened quietly without saying a word.

He could understand their feelings.

Leaving their homeland, breaking with their country, and following a master they didn't fully understand---

This kind of unease is indeed hard to eliminate.

"Of course, after saying all this, the meaning we want to express is also very clear."

Hoshino Mio raised her head and said, "We want to have a relationship with you---just once is enough."

Hanatsuki also added, "That way, we can be sure we are your women, and we'll feel much more at ease in our hearts!"

The six girls' faces turned red, but there was no retreat in their gazes.

Chen Yi looked at Shi Yuying and found hope in her eyes.

He then looked at Lin Mengxue and the others—they all looked away, not taking a stance.

It seemed Shi Yuying might have already done the ideological work beforehand.

"A sense of security?"

Chen Yi murmured softly.

He remembered when he first traveled to this world.

Being in an unfamiliar place was indeed very frightening.

He had to be cautious every day, for fear of exposing his secrets or being rejected by this world.

He estimated that their current feelings were probably similar to his own back then.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi said, "It's a deal, just once! No going back on it!"

As soon as these words came out, the six girls raised their heads at the same time, their eyes shining.

"Really?"

"Lord Chen Yi, you agreed?"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Chen Yi scratched his head. "If you can't feel at ease, it's actually quite a hassle for me too, so making you feel secure is also something I, as a Beast Tamer, should do!"

"Thank you, Great Master Chen Yi!"

The six thanked him in unison, tears even welling up in their eyes.

Then, they didn't care about modesty at all and directly rushed forward to pick up Chen Yi, charging towards the bedchamber of the Crystal Palace.

"Wait! Don't rush! One by one!"

"No! We've waited for this day for too long!"

"Lord Chen Yi, please guide us!"

Just how long had they been looking forward to this?

Su Taotao came to Shi Yuying and asked softly, "Mom, will you still be the one cultivating their Affinity in the future?"

"For the time being, yes!"

Shi Yuying smiled, "After all, there's no contract. Besides, how could Mom let them snatch the opportunities for Little Chen to nurture you?"

"Hehe, that's good! If it's just once, I'll reluctantly agree!"

Of course, this "once" resulted in Chen Yi being ravaged for a full three days.

---

Three days later, the six girls finally left the bedchamber with satisfied faces.

Compared to before, the confidence on their faces made them look like completely different people!

The unease in their eyes had vanished, replaced by determination and happiness.

"Thank you, Lord Chen Yi."

Hoshino Mio bowed again. "From now on, we are your people. We will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

The other five also expressed their stances.

Chen Yi waved his hand. "Alright, alright, go rest! Next, we will begin formal cultivation!"

After the six left, Lin Mengxue and the others entered the bedchamber.

"How is it, Brother Chen Yi? You must be exhausted, right?"

"Six people, that's quite a lot for you to handle!"

"I've stewed some chicken soup for you to nourish your body!"

Chen Yi smiled and forced himself to say, "Dealing with a bunch of little chicks is naturally easy!"

As soon as these words came out, The girls' expressions changed.

"Oh? Easy?"

"Little chicks?"

"It seems our darling still has plenty of energy left~"

"Since you still have energy, let us accompany you some more~"

Chen Yi realized he had misspoken, but it was too late.

"No! Wait! I was just acting tough! I'm actually very tired!"

"Too late!"

"Since it's so easy, work some overtime!"

"You're covered in their scent; we need to dye you with ours again!"

"No, no, no, let me rest for a bit!"

As a result of that one boastful line, Chen Yi was dragged into a second round of battle that lasted for a whole week.

When everything finally ended, Chen Yi lay paralyzed on the bed, not wanting to move even a finger.

"I can only say, one shouldn't try to act too tough!"

Chen Yi murmured tearfully.

---

Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

This period could be called the calmest time since Chen Yi's transmigration.

No pressure of life, no emotional entanglements, no harassment from the Demon Abyss Cult, no sudden crises, and no urgent tasks that had to be completed---

The whole world seemed to have entered a delicate state of balance.

Online discussions about the array eye were still in full swing, with Beast Tamers from all over the world searching for that existence said to have lived for thousands of years.

But clues were scarce, and most people could only post guesses on forums.

[Who exactly is the array eye? It's been three months of searching, and there's not a single clue!]

[Great Master Chen Yi only said the array eye has lived for a long time, but how long exactly? A hundred years? A thousand years? Five thousand years?]

[I think the Queen of the Demon Abyss Cult is very suspicious! Hasn't she lived for several hundred years?]

[But Great Master Chen Yi said 'lived for a very long time.' Does a few hundred years count as long? It must be at least a thousand years, right?]

[Then besides her, who else has lived for over a thousand years? Demonic beasts live a long time, but can a demonic beast be a array eye?]

[Sigh! If the array eye isn't found, the Space-Time Rift can't be closed! This Descent of Demonic Beasts that has lasted for five thousand years, when will it ever end!]

[---]

There was a wail across the internet.

People both craved the truth and feared it.

If the array eye really had existed for thousands of years, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?

After finding it, how would it be purified?
