57: Yuan Hong’s hometown, a new crisis?
Yang Qian's gaze fell on Li Yao.
She believed that with Wang Xiaomei's character, she wouldn't rashly contract a Beast herself.
So the only possibility was that Li Yao told her to contract it.
Thinking of this, Yang Qian's eyes when looking at Wang Xiaomei changed a bit.
It was the look of a mother-in-law eyeing her ugly daughter-in-law.
I have to say, Wang Xiaomei was truly beautiful; her name might be Xiao Mei, but she looked like a Great Beauty.
Moreover, her figure, especially that part.
Hmm, definitely good material for having children.
"Son, tell me, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao could only tell the truth of the matter.
And after understanding this, Yang Qian also looked incredulous.
She had thought this was just a theory, but she didn't expect it to be true.
The summoned Beasts originated from their Universe.
"So, Yuan Hong, do you know where your hometown is?"
Yang Qian asked Yuan Hong curiously, after all, Yuan Hong had evolved from a Blazing Fire Monkey.
And now his quality had reached Mythic-grade, so he probably had quite a few memories.
Yuan Hong scratched his head and began to recall.
However, because his memory was a bit blurry, he could only give a rough response.
My hometown seems to be... a place full of boundless Hell.
The surroundings were pitch black, as if a hugecover covered my hometown.
And, my hometown...
My hometown is in danger!
At this moment, Yuan Hong seemed to recall something, and his expression became a little agitated.
"Yuan Hong, don't be so anxious, first slowly recall and then explain clearly what exactly happened."
Okay, Master.
"Don't call me Master anymore, call me Young Lord."
"When you call me Master, I always feel like a human trafficker."
Okay, Young Lord.
Yuan Hong scratched his head and responded awkwardly.
When I left, my hometown seemed to be under attack by terrifying exotic beasts.
They seemed to deliberately keep us in captivity, then ate us as food!
As Yuan Hong said this, his eyes turned slightly red.
"Can you describe what those exotic beasts look like?"
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Hong used his spiritual power to draw a picture on the ground.
Soon, a boneless monster, scorched by flames, was depicted.
But that wasn't all.
Yuan Hong continued to draw.
While drawing, he said: These exotic beasts are all controlled by a humanoid monster.
It's this one!
When the last stroke was completed, a dog-headed, human-bodied monster surrounded by flames was depicted.
However, because his memory wasn't entirely complete, he could only draw a rough outline.
Upon seeing this, Yang Qian seemed to recall something.
"Among the Demon Clan, there seems to be a type of Demon called the Hell Dog-Headed Demon."
"They are inherently greedy, but as long as you give them benefits, they will serve you."
"Generally speaking, these Hell Dog-Headed Demons are used for taming exotic beasts in Demon Hell."
"Mom, do you mean that the Blazing Fire Monkeys on our Blue Star basically all come from Hell?"
"Hmm, that's possible, but this might just be a guess."
"After all, none of us have ever witnessed exotic beasts being summoned in our Universe."
"Mom, I might not be human."
"You guys are an exception."
Suddenly, Li Yao recalled his mother's words and seemed to think of something.
"Mom, do you mean that besides our Universe, there are other Universes?"
Yang Qian nodded and replied, "Yes, that's right."
"This isn't a secret for people of our Rank."
"However, for you, the less you know, the better."
"The more you know, the more you fear."
"So this secret has not been told to you until now."
"Now that you also have a certain level of strength, you can know about this matter."
Looking at his mother's expression, it was clear that the existence of other Universes didn't seem to be so friendly.
"Alright, since Xiao Mei has already contracted the Ink Kirin, it means she has a fated connection with the Ink Kirin."
As she spoke, she also grabbed Wang Xiaomei's hand and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, grow up quickly, so you can share more."
Yang Qian emphasized the word "share" with particular weight.
Wang Xiaomei's cheeks immediately flushed when Yang Qian held her hand like that.
"I, I understand! Thank you for your high regard, Madam Matriarch!" At the same time, Wang Xiaomei also cheered herself on.
Her Young Lord and Madam Matriarch thought so highly of her, she would definitely not let them down!
"Hmm, that puts my mind at ease."
As she spoke, Yang Qian looked at Li Yao and said, "Son, from today onwards, Wang Xiaomei is my goddaughter!"
"Which means she's your younger sister!"
"Don't bully her! Understand?"
Li Yao: ???
When had he ever bullied Wang Xiaomei?
Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, it was almost always Wang Xiaomei who took care of him.
Their relationship was as good as childhood sweethearts.
How could he possibly bully Wang Xiaomei?
His mother must not understand their relationship to say such a thing!
Li Yao nodded, responding perfunctorily, "Understood, Mom. Oh, right, Mom, Yuan Hong and I are going to test our strength first."
"You just stay home!"
Yang Qian nodded upon hearing this; she had things to do anyway.
The matter of the Blazing Fire Monkey was not simple; she vaguely felt that there must be a problem.
Perhaps, this Blazing Fire Monkey might even be a fallback plan planted by the Demons on the human side.
Of course, she hoped all of this was her mistaken guess.
However, this problem needed to be verified, otherwise, Yang Qian would feel a little uneasy.
As someone with OCD, if she couldn't thoroughly understand something, she would definitely be restless.
Plus, her husband had already gone to the Netherworld, so being alone, she could only choose to immerse herself in work.
Anyway, her previous job was a Beast Breeder.
And she was a Grandmaster Breeder at that.
An existence two Ranks higher than the expert level.
This was the power of the Three-Eyed Race.
The Three-Eyed Race was a race that was on good terms with almost all major races in the Universe.
After all, being able to see the essence of a Beast allowed them to determine the direction of its evolution.
This was also why the Three-Eyed Race became one of the top ten races in the Universe.
Li Yao left, and Yuan Hong followed.
However, Li Yao didn't go to a Secret Realm to improve his strength; instead, he took out the phone his father gave him and made a call.
