222: Send out a Celestial Grade Pet

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi held Yan Xinnan in his arms, comforting her for quite a while.

He made solemn promises to her, painting a grand future and pledging that she and their son would hold a distinguished status.

It was only after Yan Xinnan promised not to take action against White Gaze again that he was willing to leave.

He returned to his room and opened the secret chamber.

Under the dim candlelight, a woman sat quietly on a chair, a restraint locked around her neck and chains shackling her left wrist.

Her originally wheat-colored skin had turned deathly pale from years without sunlight, devoid of any color.

Her pair of golden eyes were lifeless, and she appeared like a puppet.

"Jie'er, White Gaze has awakened a Heaven Tier talent. I have already brought him back."

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi gently stroked Zheng Jie's face; he could foresee how happy Zheng Jie would be upon hearing this news.

Sure enough, Zheng Jie's eyes flickered, as if a glimmer of life had returned to them.

"White Gaze, has White Gaze returned?"

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi was very satisfied with her reaction; unable to restrain himself, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips.

"As long as you are obedient from now on, White Gaze will naturally be fine!"

He raised an eyebrow, picked up the soft, fragrant beauty before him, and placed her on the couch beside him.

Zheng Jie trembled uncontrollably; at this moment, she wished White Gaze had never awakened any talent, wishing he were just an ordinary person!

She did not want White Gaze to become a tool for Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi's struggle for the throne from now on!

The candlelight flickered, and the secret chamber was filled with an amorous atmosphere.

Zheng Jie dug her fingers into Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi's arm, panting softly as she begged him, "I beg you, please protect White Gaze well..."

"What silly things are you saying, Jie'er? He is our child; naturally, I will protect him well!"

When everything was over, Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi left the secret chamber, summoned his trusted aide, and instructed him to arrange secret guards for White Gaze.

As for the assassins who had previously attempted to kill White Gaze, they were naturally dealt with directly, as he did not want Gu Xiaoyue to find any clues.

In truth, Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi was overthinking it; Gu Xiaoyue had long guessed that it was Yan Xinnan who had sent the assassins.

Leaving the survivors for Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi was merely to test the extent of his concern for White Gaze.

Gu Xiaoyue's room was right next to White Gaze's.

She hadn't slept all night, so she had taken a nap before dinner.

After waking up, she intended to find White Gaze for dinner, but to her surprise, a woman around forty years old was standing at her door.

"Miss Gu, greetings. My name is Yang Jiarong, and I am the attendant arranged by the Prince to take care of your daily life."

Gu Xiaoyue sized the woman up; based on her aura and physique, she was likely a Legendary-level Beastmaster.

Finding a high-ranking Beastmaster to take care of her? She was probably sent to monitor her!

Since she was an attendant arranged for her, she would have to act the part!

Gu Xiaoyue gave a faint grunt of acknowledgement and knocked on the door next to hers.

"White Gaze, are you going to eat?"

Yang Jiarong immediately frowned and said with some impatience.

"Miss Gu, the Young Master has already gone to the dining hall. Besides, how can you address the Young Master by his full name?"

Her eyes showed a hint of disdain, as if she were complaining that Gu Xiaoyue did not understand the rules.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't say anything and found her own way to the dining hall.

Sure enough, White Gaze was already sitting there, with Uncle Luosang and Butler Bart standing by his side.

"Sister, are you awake?"

When White Gaze saw Gu Xiaoyue arrive, he looked just like a little puppy, missing only ears and a wagging tail.

Gu Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, sitting down beside White Gaze without ceremony.

Uncle Luosang knew they had a good relationship, so he didn't react.

Butler Bart and Yang Jiarong, however, would cough or clear their throats from time to time, seemingly trying to remind Gu Xiaoyue to mind her status.

Gu Xiaoyue took a deep breath and still didn't say anything.

White Gaze sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right and spoke up.

"If you two are uncomfortable, go down and rest; don't disturb Sister and me while we eat!"

White Gaze was not good at putting on airs, but after all, he was of royal blood and carried an inherent aura.

His words made Butler Bart and Yang Jiarong fall silent, no longer offering fake reminders.

There were no family gatherings; each villa dined separately.

Today was White Gaze's first day back, and the chef was also on his first day.

White Gaze wasn't picky about what he ate, and in fact, Gu Xiaoyue wasn't either, but she wasn't used to some of the dishes from Damon Country.

She had just frowned slightly when White Gaze stood up to make something else for her.

Gu Xiaoyue hurriedly pulled him back, "Just eating a little is fine; you must be tired after just returning."

White Gaze thought about it, stopped insisting, and sat back down.

However, he added that from now on, whatever the chef cooked could be for others to eat; he would make the meals for him and Gu Xiaoyue himself!

Butler Bart and Yang Jiarong's expressions were unsightly to the extreme.

If the Prince found out that the Young Master was going to cook for Gu Xiaoyue himself, they might well be severely punished!

After dinner, Gu Xiaoyue returned to his room with White Gaze.

"You may go down and rest now," she said to Butler Bart and Yang Jiarong, but the two looked at each other and did not move.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to rest? From now on, whatever Sister says, just do it! If you don't listen, I will go tell Father to change the servants!"

Even Uncle Luosang was a bit surprised; White Gaze and Gu Xiaoyue had only known each other for a little over three months, yet he valued her so highly.

They bowed sullenly and went down to rest.

White Gaze led Gu Xiaoyue into the room.

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi had sent over quite a few things earlier, and he wanted Gu Xiaoyue to see if there was anything useful.

"Sister, take a look and see if there's anything useful here."

Gu Xiaoyue watched as White Gaze brought out many rare treasures, and she picked out the lanzhi grass.

"This is something you can use."

She picked through the items again, and at the bottom of the box, there was actually a gathering spirit stone.

After all, it was the royal family of Damon Country; they still had quite a few good things.

Gu Xiaoyue took out a Star Stone from her Yu Beast Space and handed it to White Gaze.

"Keep this in your Yu Beast Space; it can also increase the upgrade speed of your pet. And this—"

She also took out the immortal-rank pet egg she had stolen previously at Xiao Mingyan's auction.

Now, this pet egg had already risen to the Celestial Immortal Tier in her Yu Beast Space.

"A Celestial Immortal Tier pet?"

White Gaze's eyes widened; he had thought his companion beast, which was a top-grade Heaven Tier, was already very strong, but it was far inferior to what Gu Xiaoyue had casually given him!

"Try to see if you can form a contract with it."

White Gaze nodded, cut his finger to drip blood onto the pet egg, and began to draw the contract formation.

Very quickly, the pet egg emitted a red light, and the shell cracked.

A black Unicorn jumped out of the egg.

[Name]: Flame Domain Mysterious Beast [Rank]: Mid-Celestial Immortal [Attribute]: Fire Attribute, Dark Attribute [Skills]: Fireball (Low-level), Fire Sea (Low-level), Stealth (Low-level), Devour (Low-level) [Level]: Young life stage 1

Gu Xiaoyue nodded with satisfaction. Having only two pets was not enough, so she took out the pets of Catherine and Hand, whom she had killed earlier, to select from them as well.
