Lu Zhaoming was slightly taken aback when Lu Yuan suddenly brought up the matter of Longteng Academy.

"Don't you want to study at Dragon Academy?"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I have more important things to do right now."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lu Zhaoming instantly understood what the more important matter he was referring to, and let out a barely perceptible sigh.

Ultimately, it's all because of his incompetence as a father; otherwise, Lu Yuan wouldn't have to face the pursuit of an unknown enemy at such a young age.

"I understand, I will handle this matter."

Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon receiving Lu Zhaoming's promise.

He had been racking his brains for a while about what excuse to use to decline the invitation from Dragon Academy, and now that he could finally resolve the issue, it was a relief to put an end to something weighing on his mind.

Thank you.

"I'm your father, why are you thanking me? If you need anything in the future, just ask, and your old man will take care of it for you!"

Lu Zhaoming patted his chest confidently, expecting to see Lu Yuan's moved expression, but found that the other party was completely unmoved, which made him somewhat disappointed.

But he didn't know.

Lu Yuan was used to relying on himself, and he would never ask for help easily if he could solve something on his own.

As for things that even he couldn't solve, then Lu Zhaoming probably couldn't handle them either.

...

After chatting for a while, Lu Yuan sent Lu Zhaoming, Yang Lin, and the others away, saying he wanted to rest.

Once he was alone in the ward, he slowly closed his eyes and entered the Beast Taming Space with his divine sense.

I was unconscious for three whole days and I don’t know how the four little ones are doing.

Especially Chilin and Lingye, who were the most severely injured.

Ever since he woke up, he had been thinking about the two little ones. If it weren't for the fact that he could sense their presence through the contract and confirm that they were still alive, he wouldn't have even bothered dealing with Yang Lin and the others and would have gone straight into the Beast Taming Space!

Back in a familiar space.

The ancient tree stands in the center of the space, its huge canopy covering the entire sky, as if its boundless vitality fills every corner.

Feeling this boundless and vibrant energy, Lu Yuan immediately felt much more comfortable.

Nothing in the space had changed, which made him wonder if he had really been unconscious for three days.

Lu Yuan stood under the ancient tree, but he couldn't see any trace of the four little ones, not even Chu Xing.

Just as he was wondering, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Eee~!"

Before Lu Yuan could even turn around, he was enveloped in a warm embrace.

"Little Yi?"

Lu Yuan turned his head slightly and saw Xiao Yi's fluffy head rubbing against his neck.

"Eee!"

Xiao Yi raised her head and looked at him with her dewy, doe-like eyes, filled with a complex mix of emotions, including grievance, unease, and the joy of regaining what she had lost.

Looking into those eyes, Lu Yuan's heart softened instantly.

He turned around and hugged Xiao Yi in his arms, gently stroking her head and soothing her softly.

"It's alright, I'm here!"

“Eee…”

Xiao Yi leaned lightly on Lu Yuan's shoulder, and soon some water stains appeared on her collar.

It wasn't until a moment later that Xiao Yi reluctantly left Lu Yuan's embrace, her little face still twitching.

"Alright, alright!" Lu Yuan chuckled, ruffling her hair before looking around. "Where are Chi Lin and the others? I can't see them."

As they were talking.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from beside my feet.

Lu Yuan looked down and discovered that it was actually red phosphorus that had shrunk several times!

"Red phosphorus?! How did you get so small?!"

Lu Yuan squatted down and stretched out his hand. The red phosphorus crawled up his hand and tightly wrapped around his wrist, looking like a snake-shaped bracelet.

"Hiss~"

"This is a new skill it has learned, which allows it to shrink its body. And this is not even its smallest size; it can become even smaller."

"Ling Ye?!"

A familiar voice came from behind the ancient tree. Lu Yuan turned around and saw Ling Ye slowly walking out from behind the tree.

"I'm so glad you two are alright!"

Lu Yuan stepped forward, grabbed Ling Ye's two front legs, and examined them thoroughly before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

"It was Xiao Yi who saved us."

Ling Ye, somewhat embarrassed, pulled her front leg back from Lu Yuan's hand and answered truthfully.

At that time, Chi Lin was seriously injured by the Fei Beast in order to buy Lu Yuan a chance to escape. Lu Yuan was unwilling to abandon Chi Lin and escape alone, so Ling Ye followed Lu Yuan and turned back to save Chi Lin. As a result, he was also beaten unconscious by the Fei Beast.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi's spiritual power had recovered somewhat by then.

After Lu Yuan retrieved them into his beast-taming space, Xiao Yi immediately gave them emergency treatment, and in any case, their lives were saved.

As for the other wounds on her body, they were healed using skills only after Xiao Yi's spiritual power had fully recovered.

"Just as I thought."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Yi's head, having expected this.

"Actually, we wanted Xiao Yi to treat you first, but you were in a deep coma at the time, and we couldn't leave the Beast Taming Space at all, so we could only wait until you woke up."

Lingye's tone was somewhat disappointed.

If they were capable enough to break through the spatial constraints, Lu Yuan wouldn't have needed to remain unconscious for three whole days.

In response to this.

Lu Yuan, however, didn't care at all, and instead comforted them with apologies.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

As for the constraints of space.

If this were just an ordinary beast-taming space, Ling Ye and the others could probably break through it with their strength. But don't forget that this space is also supported by the system. Under the system's constraints, this beast-taming space is not something that can be broken through easily.

After calming the three little ones down, Lu Yuan glanced around again.

"Where's Akabane? I haven't seen it."

If we were to say who contributed the most to this beast tide, it would have to be Chi Yu, who broke through at the last moment.

Without Akabane, he would very likely have died in the battle against the Fei Beast.

He remembered seeing Akabane guarding him well before he fainted, but now he saw the other three little ones, but why didn't he see Akabane?
