34: Meet

Beside the lake, which resembled a paradise hidden from the world, a Emerald Green bamboo as thick as a bucket swayed in the wind.

Beside the green bamboo, a pink Fenghu only one and a half meters tall, but with four tails, was lazily lying under the green bamboo.

In the lake behind the pink fox, a pale black Fierce Beast turtle as large as a truck cast a large shadow in the water, only revealing its head, staring intently at Qian Tong and Qian Lanlan.

On the other side, a Red Fire Ant Queen, three meters long and blood-red all over, was also lazily lying by the water, watching the two.

Seeing this scene, and with his preconceived notions, Qian Tong immediately locked his gaze onto the pink fox.

Girl, pink fox, Beast Guard, no problem.

So when the Tan Wolf put the two down, Qian Tong immediately endured his fear and looked at Fenghu, saying,

"Qian Tong, greetings to the esteemed Beast God."

Whether it was a Beast God or not, Qian Tong didn't know how Fierce Beasts were categorized, so he decided to flatter it first.

Under the green bamboo, Fenghu's narrow eyes casually glanced at Qian Tong, then, remembering Qingyang's instructions, slowly got up.

"Woo..."

The moment the sound rang out, a Black Myna, not yet ranked, on the green bamboo, also immediately spoke.

"Tsk~, My King asks you, why have you come here?"

When saying the word 'My King', the Black Myna couldn't help but secretly glance at the distant mountain forest.

Behind Qian Tong, Qian Lanlan quickly said constrainedly: "Greetings, King, I asked Yingying to bring me here. My purpose in coming here is to find a Beast Guard suitable for me to fight alongside."

Under the green bamboo, Fenghu nodded slightly, then casually turned its head to look at Xuan Ming and Hong Ying.

Because when Qian Lanlan said the name Yingying, the emotions of the two Beast Guards clearly changed.

...

On the other side in the mountain forest, when Shen Ying saw a black shadow in the distance, she instantly shouted excitedly: "A Yang, is that you?"

Hearing the sound, Qingyang suddenly raised his Jiao head, and his thirty-meter body instantly twisted, arriving beside Shen Ying.

The next second, amidst Shen Ying's exclamations, he was already holding Qingyang's Jiao head, dozens of meters off the ground.

At this moment, Shen Ying wasn't afraid at all. She just held Qingyang quietly, slowly closed her eyes, and felt an extraordinary sense of peace.

As for Qingyang, he also slowly lowered his head and put Shen Ying down, looking at her affectionately.

There was no excessive communication; just a single look was enough to understand their mutual longing for each other.

This quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time before Mao Qiu crawled out of Shen Ying's arms and began to report.

When Qingyang learned that the old man was from one of the newly established wealthy families among Humans, and that the girl was also Shen Ying's good friend, Qingyang immediately began to ponder.

However, before that, Qingyang needed to do one thing, which was to arrange Shen Ying's future affairs.

The most important thing was to ensure that Mao Qiu and Little Luan's strength could quickly improve during the summer vacation to ensure they could protect Shen Ying.

But just as Qingyang and Shen Ying began to chat and recount their experiences during their time apart, a Red Fire Ant suddenly came to Qingyang's side, making buzzing sounds.

Hearing what the other party said, Qingyang couldn't help but lower his head and say: "Trade? Cooperation? What is there for Humans and Fierce Beasts to trade and cooperate on?"

Over the next few days, Qingyang traveled around the entire Eastern Outer Region with Shen Ying on his back.

As for the news that occasionally came from beside the lake, it finally made Qingyang understand what Qian Tong was trying to do.

Having been Human in his previous life, Qingyang was all too familiar with the inherent flaws of Humans.

They fear the strong but are not grateful for kindness.

As for the world of Fierce Beasts, most Fierce Beasts are hostile towards Humans.

However, not everything is absolute. There are some Fierce Beasts who don't dislike Humans, though they are a minority.

And Qingyang also roughly understood what Qian Tong had been discussing with Fenghu about the trade in the past few days.

Simply put, it was to have Qingyang act as an intermediary Beast, asking all the Fierce Beasts if any were willing to go to the Human world.

As compensation, Qian Tong's meaning was that Qingyang could name any price, and as long as the other side could afford it, they were willing.

Having been the controller of the Outer Region for so long, Qingyang could be considered a minor high-level figure in the Guling Mountain Range, so he knew some secrets.

Among them, the Shennongjia area has currently established a cooperative relationship with the military. As for how they cooperate, Qingyang is not clear due to the distance.

The Ailao Mountain area seems to have some unknown transactions with an ancient family surnamed Bai there.

As for other forbidden areas, there hasn't been any movement reported yet, and that includes the Guling Mountain Range.

Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but murmur: "Mutually beneficial? Perhaps, I can give it a try?"

As a Human, Qingyang also knew that Shen Ying couldn't live in the mountains like a wild person for too long, so after a short week of reunion, Qingyang had Shen Ying return to the lake.

During these five days, Qingyang had already issued orders, asking the countless Fierce Beasts in his territory to see who was willing to follow that little girl to the Human world.

Ultimately, to Qingyang's surprise, there were quite a few, totaling several hundred Fierce Beasts.

After asking around, he learned that it was mainly because the world of Fierce Beasts is too competitive now. Rather than that, it was better to go to the Human world and grow as a Human Beast Guard.

Although the growth rate might be slower, at least the risk to life was greatly guaranteed.

Knowing the intentions of the many Fierce Beasts, Qingyang simply arranged for all the interested Fierce Beasts to go to the lake, allowing Qian Lanlan to choose.

As for the cooperation matters, Fenghu was the one who handled them and relayed them to Qingyang, letting Qingyang make the decisions.

...

...

Beside the lake, when Shen Ying disappeared for a few days and suddenly reappeared, Qian Lanlan was immediately both surprised and delighted.

While the two chatted, Shen Ying also secretly told Qian Lanlan that the matter of her Beast Guard had been settled.

As for Qian Tong and Fenghu under the green bamboo, they also began shallow cooperation under Qingyang's instructions.

The first step of cooperation was about the items for trade.

Finally, at Qingyang's signal, Fenghu very forcefully determined that zhen crystal, which are the most precious things in the world today, would be the trade item.

While they were discussing, in the distant forest, Fierce Beasts, one after another, walked out of the forest at Qingyang's signal, approaching cautiously.

There were hundreds of Fierce Beasts interested in going to the Human world, ranging from ranked to around second-tier Fierce Beasts.

As for the stronger Fierce Beasts, they disdained going to the Human world, which is why the Fierce Beasts currently willing to go to the Human world are generally not strong.
