After leaving the pet store.

Li Xingchi drove to a luxurious manor in Chunhai City.

As one of the top families in the Myriad Realms, their businesses are spread all over the world, and this manor is just a small foothold.

As soon as he returned to the manor, a man who looked like a butler came up to Li Xingchi and bowed his head respectfully.

"Young Master Li, what are your orders?"

Li Xingchi glanced at the man and spoke casually.

"Have someone keep an eye on that pet shop on Anping Street. I need to see detailed information about everyone who enters or leaves that shop."

"And the owner of that pet shop, that kid named Lu Yuan."

"I need to know everything he does: what he ate for breakfast, how many times he went to the toilet, and especially his secrets about raising offspring!"

Upon hearing Li Xingchi's instructions, the butler immediately responded.

"Yes, young master!"

After saying that.

The butler was about to leave when Li Xingchi stopped him.

"etc!"

"Young master, is there anything else you need?"

"We must keep a tight grip on that pet shop; no information is allowed to leak out. I need to take it down before the other powerful families find out!"

"yes!"

Li Xingchi was full of fighting spirit, his eyes gleaming with a determined light.

...

at the same time.

Lu Yuan exchanged all 100,000 high-grade spirit stones he had just received into divine power points, and then exchanged a large number of crystal energy stones to distribute to the four little ones, urging them to speed up their cultivation.

Actually, if he wasn't worried that Li Xingchi would discover something was amiss, he would have wanted to close the pet shop right now and go back to the training room to train for several days and nights.

Because he understands.

If Stephen Chow can come knocking on our door, then it won't be long before the Jiang family does too.

He must be prepared at all times to cope with the upcoming changes.

and.

He could sense it.

The world-ending disaster that Bai Ze had previously predicted is probably about to arrive.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's expression became even more solemn.

Before these things happen, he must find a way to break through to the god level with himself and the four little ones, otherwise he will not have enough power to face these situations.

but.

Despite his inner anxiety, Lu Yuan remained outwardly unchanged, operating his shop as usual.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to Lu Yuan's efforts, his Beast Tamer level has reached the tenth level of the Illusion God, and he is only one step away from breaking through to become a God-level Beast Tamer.

but.

This final step completely stumped Lu Yuan.

"To break through the current level and reach a higher level, one needs opportunities and insights that break through boundaries. And to quickly comprehend these, one can only seek opportunities in battle, but..."

Lu Yuan looked up at Li Xingchi, who was sitting in the rest area by the bed, his face somewhat gloomy.

Ever since he refused to leave Xingchi last time, this guy has been sitting in the pet shop almost every day.

Do nothing, buy nothing.

Come in through the door, leave through the door.

They were even more punctual than the shop owner, Lu Yuan.

Not only that.

Lu Yuan could sense the presence of many other people around him even when he just went out to buy food or take out the trash.

Even a fool could tell that it was someone Li Xingchi had planted next to him.

A tight encirclement, plus close-quarters defense from Stephen Chow.

Even if Lu Yuan wanted to go out and find opportunities for a breakthrough, he had no way to do so.

"Damn it!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't the right time to confront Li Jia yet, he would have liked to knock this kid unconscious and tie him up!

Perhaps because Lu Yuan's gaze was too intense, Li Xingchi, who was looking down at his book, turned around.

"Is there something you need?"

"fine."

Lu Yuan shook his head as if nothing was wrong and continued with his work.

See here.

Li Xingchi smiled slightly, then looked down at the book in his hand again, but his mind was elsewhere.

He had been stuck in Chunhai City with Lu Yuan for a long time. His family had sent him several messages asking him to return. Most importantly, news about Lu Yuan and the pet shop was about to be exposed.

Even so, he never intended to force Lu Yuan to comply.

After all, raising pet cubs is something Lu Yuan needs to do, and conquering a proud and powerful person like Lu Yuan gives him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

so.

Although he had wasted a lot of time on Lu Yuan, he had not considered using any other forceful methods.

However, this only applies to the present situation.

If news of Lu Yuan and the pet shop spreads and Lu Yuan still doesn't have the idea of ​​leaving home, then he wouldn't mind killing him to cover it up.

What he can't have, no one else can have either!

Inside the pet store.

Lu Yuan and Li Xingchi, sitting in the light and shadow respectively, each had their own thoughts and were scheming against each other, but neither wanted to make the first move.

At times like these.

Whoever makes concessions or compromises first will be relentlessly pressured and eventually devoured by the other party.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Lu Yuan.

He doesn't have that much time to waste on Li Xingchi.

but.

He understood that this situation could not continue for much longer.

soon.

Things will then change.

A new force is about to intervene.
