Time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan had been living peacefully in Chunhai City for quite some time.

During this period, Lu Yuan spent his days either running the pet shop or training in the training room.

They seize every minute and second to improve their skills, even wishing they could split a second in half.

but.

Thanks to his relentless training, his Beast Tamer level has already reached the eighth level of the Illusion God during this period, and it is estimated that he will be able to level up again soon.

"The speed at which I leveled up was faster than I expected."

After a quick breakfast, Lu Yuan sat behind the counter, looking at the bills with a bored expression.

After a period of operation and promotion, the pet store has become well-known, and customers come every day to buy pet cubs, most of whom are customers developed by Zhuoyang.

In just one month.

He has already earned nearly five million high-grade spirit stones.

"The decision to adopt a low-profit, high-volume sales strategy with the aim of promotion was indeed the right one."

Through Zhuo Yang's introduction, the pet shop soon welcomed its second customer, and then continued to expand.

One tells ten, ten tell a hundred.

Now, the pet shop is one of the most famous shops on Anping Street.

"However, this is still not enough."

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes.

If he wants to fight against the Jiang family, he must quickly raise his and his four little ones' levels to the god level, which requires a lot of divine power.

Not only that.

In order to retain enough trump cards, he also needs to keep enough divine power to exchange for defensive and offensive methods such as formations in the system shop.

Therefore, this amount of divine power is simply not enough.

"It's a pity that holding an auction would attract too much attention; otherwise, auction houses would be the place where you can make the most and fastest money!"

Lu Yuan sighed with some regret and refocused on his work.

"Ding-dong!"

Just then.

A doorbell rang, and Lu Yuan immediately smiled and looked up.

"Welcome..."

He had only spoken halfway when Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise upon seeing who it was.

"It's you?!"

The person who came was clearly not expecting to see Lu Yuan here.

"What a coincidence."

Seeing Li Xingchi's surprised expression, Lu Yuan nodded and inquired with the same enthusiasm he would show to other guests.

What would you like to buy?

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was acting like an enthusiastic shop assistant, Li Xingchi's eyes darkened slightly.

He had heard that a very mysterious pet shop had suddenly appeared in Chunhai City, and all the pet cubs sold in the shop had different proportions of divine beast bloodlines. In order to investigate this matter, he specially came from away from home to find out.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the young man from the secret realm again in this pet shop.

and.

Judging from Lu Yuan's familiar way of entertaining guests, he seemed to have a close relationship with this pet shop.

However, in order not to reveal his intentions too obviously, Li Xingchi nodded to Lu Yuan.

"I'd like to buy some food for my beasts. Do you sell any in your shop?"

"Of course," Lu Yuan nodded with a smile. "But what kind of beast food do you need?"

Li Xingchi was secretly observing the situation inside the store when he heard Lu Yuan ask this question, and he was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

What kinds are there?

"The most basic bagged beast food, or you can summon your beast and I'll prepare it for you on the spot."

Lu Yuan stared straight at Li Xingchi.

For some reason, he felt that the Li Xingchi in front of him was different from the Li Xingchi he had met in the secret realm, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

It's as if my temperament has changed, or perhaps my aura is different.

In conclusion.

It's definitely not the same feeling as when I first encountered it in the secret realm.

Could it be that after he left the secret realm, Li Xingchi and the others encountered something inside?

Seemingly unaware of Lu Yuan's scrutiny, Li Xingchi turned his head to look at him with a normal expression.

"You're in charge of coordinating things on-site? Are you the manager of this pet store?"

"That's right."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He had no intention of hiding his identity.

After all, this is not the Ling'an Continent, and I am all alone in the Myriad Realms Heaven. No matter how I try to conceal it, as long as the other party is willing to investigate, they will be able to find out the true situation of the pet shop.

really.

After hearing Lu Yuan's answer, Li Xingchi did not show any surprise, but simply nodded calmly.

"In that case, could you please prepare a beast-taming food for me on the spot?"

After saying that.

Li Xingchi then summoned his tamed beast from the space.

"Star Witch Beast?"

Looking at the beast in front of him, fluttering its wings like a butterfly and dancing in mid-air, Lu Yuan's expression was slightly surprised.

"Oh? You know him?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's tone, Li Xingchi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Normally, Star Witch Beasts are a relatively rare species, and few people should recognize them.

Lu Yuan not only recognized it, but he even read out the name of the Star Witch Beast after just one glance, as if he knew this race very well.

Hearing Li Xingchi's somewhat surprised tone, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"I only read about it by chance in a book. After all, if you want to open a pet shop, you need to know about all kinds of tamed beasts."

"So that's how it is."

After listening to Lu Yuan's explanation, Li Xingchi nodded with an ambiguous expression.

Upon seeing this.

Lu Yuan didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he walked forward to the Star Witch Beast.

"Can I touch it?"

Li Xingchi turned to look at Lu Yuan, and although he was somewhat surprised by the request, he nodded.

"sure."

After obtaining Li Xingchi's consent, Lu Yuan raised his hand and gently stroked the Star Witch Beast.

The next moment.

The specific data of the Star Witch Beast then appeared before his eyes.

[Race: Star Witch Beast]

[Attribute: Mental]

[Rank: Illusionary God Tier 10]

[Potential: God-level]

[Bloodline: God-level]

[Talent: Star Dream]

[Skills: Disorder, Dream Field, Mind Control]

[Status: Adult, very healthy]

God-level?!

Looking at the data belonging to the Star Witch Beast in front of him, Lu Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen a beast tamer whose potential and bloodline were both at the god level, and whose attribute was the relatively rare mental type, and which even had top-level mental control skills.

If this kind of data were placed on the Ling'an Continent, it would probably cause a huge uproar.

But.

Looking at Li Xingchi's calm expression, it seemed that the attributes of the Star Witch Beast were nothing to him.

"It seems that the circumstances surrounding my departure from home are even more bizarre than I imagined."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

During his time in the Myriad Realms Heaven, he had already figured out the gap in resources between the Myriad Realms Heaven and the Ling'an Continent. However, based on his investigation and understanding, if we only consider the gap in resources, the difference between the two sides should not be that much.

At the very least.

Jiang Ye, a young master from a top-tier family, has yet to reach the god-level in terms of beast-taming potential and bloodline level.

Therefore, the most likely explanation is that there's something fishy about him leaving home.

Despite his inner shock, Lu Yuan outwardly acted as if everything was normal, as if he were merely interacting with the Star Witch Beast and getting to know it simply.

"I have a basic understanding of the Star Witch Beast's situation."

"I will prepare food for it now. Please rest here for a moment."
