The Emperor's Domain is a unique skill possessed by the extraordinary creatures of the Emperor race. It can release its own energy and pressure, and can even change the climate of the sky and the topography of mountains and rivers.
In their own imperial domain, the imperial race is the king who absolutely dominates everything, and no creature can escape the gaze of the lord of the domain.
Everyone was struggling under the pressure of the imperial domain, and even breathing became difficult.
Among them, the state of the little skeleton is particularly miserable. It is a dark-type pet, which is mutually restrained with the light-type, but the energy level of the emperor's domain is far beyond the ability of lower elite races to contend with.
Its control over the Sun Wolf was so slight that it could be ignored, but the suppression of the Sun Wolf was extremely deadly. Most of the shadows in the area disappeared, and the little skeleton had nowhere to hide. It was intimidated and fell to its knees, and then it was pinned down completely. No matter how it struggled, it could not stand up.
"Ellen!" Mu Huoyue was also forced to squat on the ground. She wanted to take the little skeleton back to the beast-controlling space, but she rarely felt resistance from the contract.
Allen was unwilling to return to the Beast Taming Space under such circumstances, leaving the Beast Tamer to face it all alone.
Mu Tong looked down at his daughter and her struggling pet, "Do you understand? Inferior creatures are not worth cultivating. Little skeletons will never evolve into an emperor race. No matter how much effort and hard work you put in, you can't cross the gap of talent and bloodline!"
"… inferior product."
Mu Huoyue repeated in a murmur, but the image of Mu Tong's original pet, the red flame fighting wolf Pari, flashed through his mind.
The image of the giant fire wolf's futile efforts and this word were nightmares that Mu Liuyue had never dared to face in the past.
"Since I am unable to awaken and become a beastmaster, haven't I already been considered inferior in your eyes, father?" She looked up and looked directly into Mu Tong's eyes.
"You are ready to hand over the carefully prepared high-level pet and the exemption from entrance examination to Xingzhou University to Mu Yixia, right?"
Mu Tong, who has the title of legend, is a nominal professor at Xingzhou University. Just as the president of Xingzhou University has already chosen Lin Fei, Mu Tong also has the right to decide on admission without examination.
In the past, Mu Chuyue never doubted that this thing belonged to her. However, after Mu Yixia awakened first, Mu Tong never mentioned this to Mu Chuyue until now. The answer is self-evident.
Mu Yixia was stunned. She didn't expect the war would spread to her side, and subconsciously moved behind her father.
"That's something prepared for beastmasters, of course, for Yixia." Mu Tong frowned slightly as his daughter looked at him directly. "It's precisely because you have awakened that I rushed back and re-evaluated my previous decision. It was you who gave up all this, Mu Huiyue."
In Mu Tong's eyes, low-level creatures like the contracted little skeletons are no different from ordinary people. Mu Liuyue lost at the starting line and would never be able to achieve anything again, let alone become a legend.
"I haven't asked you yet, why did you contract such an inferior creature?"
"You haven't asked me, an ordinary person, how I came back from the secret realm." Mu Liuyue answered word by word.
Some strange emotions surged in her heart. She should not care about what Mu Tong did, but the memories of the past were circling in her mind.
In his memory, Mu Huoyue wanted to question his father in person.
The Mu Chuyue in her memory tried her best to seek the authority of recognition, which stood like an insurmountable mountain at the end of her life. The current Mu Chuyue chooses to look directly at it and smash it.
“Click…click…!”
The small white skeleton lying in front of Mu Chuyue was almost burned by the light energy in the emperor's domain to the point of emitting white smoke, but under the incredulous gaze of everyone, it used its thin bones to support itself bit by bit and stood up slowly but firmly.
"Click!" The little skeleton opened his arms and fearlessly stood in front of the Beastmaster, facing the huge and terrifying Sun Wolf.
"Eren..." The black-haired girl widened her eyes slightly, a feeling of warmth welling up in her eyes.
She clenched her fists so hard that her palms almost bled, using the pain to force herself to concentrate and resist the imperial domain of the Sun Flame Wolf.
Bearing the pressure from the imperial domain, Mu Liuyue and his pet stood up straight.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the Sun Flame Wolf. It seemed that it had never imagined that such a weak dark pet, a little thing that it could kill with a sneeze and a wave of its claws, could actually stand up in its imperial domain.
"Because Eren saved me in the secret realm, I was able to come back alive."
Mu Shuyue raised his head under the pressure of the Emperor's Domain and continued, "We have won many battles together. Eren has an outstanding fighting talent. I am very fortunate to have met him and made him my first contracted pet."
Mu Tong was silent for a moment. He indeed had never asked his daughter how she left the secret realm.
Receiving the news from the hospital that she had woken up successfully and was safe and sound was enough for him as a father.
But this is not a reason for Mu Huoyue to gamble with her own future.
He raised his hand, and the Sun Flame Wolf received the order, withdrew from the imperial territory, flicked its tail, turned around and returned to lie down under the shade of its favorite tree.
The legendary beastmaster looked at his daughter, "What do you want to say, Mu Yuyue?"
"I want to say that gifted race is not the only criterion for judgment. Inferior people also have their own path. This is the path I have chosen."
Mu Shuyue picked up the weak Eren and looked his father in the eye again, "Just wait here and see how the inferior product surpasses you, father."
This time, even Mu Yixia who was hiding in the back showed a surprised expression. She must have heard it wrong. The sister who always regarded her father's words as the golden rule and worked harder than anyone else to achieve them was actually rebelling against her father?
After saying these words, Mu Huoyue turned and left the garden, ending the "family dinner" that had not yet begun.
Mu Tong seemed to say something else, mixed with Mu Yixia's voice of comfort, but Mu Huiyue didn't care.
She declined the driver's question and walked outside aimlessly, her mind filled with a chaotic whirlwind of memories.
In Mu Huoyue's memory, she had never rebelled against her father like this.
In essence, she is no longer Mu Tong's daughter. The girl who tried her best to get her father's approval and follow the path her father expected has disappeared into the secret realm of the Castle of the Dead.
She was probably still influenced by her past memories, so she couldn't help but follow Mu Chuyue's past mood and said a lot of words as if to vent.
Mu Huiyue might not be able to see clearly when she was a high school student, but now she has seen the true nature of these "family members". Mu Tong loves herself more than others, and the same is true for Mu Yixia.
So they can be happy together when needed. Mu Tong needs a daughter arranged by him, and Mu Yixia needs a father who can provide her with resources.
In such a framework, it doesn't matter whether the father is away from home all year round and doesn't care about the family, or what kind of beastmaster the daughter wants to become.
On the contrary, Mu Huiyue, who looks cold, is actually full of emotions. She expects Mu Tong's approval and gets angry about him not coming home - it is precisely because she still has expectations for her father that she is emotionally hurt by his feedback.
As a mature social animal, the most reasonable approach should be to act like a qualified successor, just like Mu Yixia, and get more resources from the legendary beastmaster.
However, even for the current Mu Huoyue, she finds it difficult to accept Mu Tong's training philosophy, even though Mu Tong has been recognized by most people in the world and has been awarded the title of "Legendary" Beastmaster.
The image of the Red Flame Fighting Wolf Pari always lingered in her mind. If one could abandon the original pet in pursuit of power and higher status, then what was the so-called "Lifetime Contract" between the beastmaster and the extraordinary creature?
Believing that the bond between friends can bring about miracles is a little bit of her original intention that she has secretly kept in her heart even after she became a boring adult.
Even in a game made up purely of data, Mu Shuyue would still develop feelings for the characters she cultivated, not to mention that she is now in a real world where she can sign contracts with her partners.
She met a little skeleton who cared about her wholeheartedly and had an excellent fighting spirit.
Therefore, she wants to choose a path that even "inferior products" can take. She wants to stand on the battlefield at the top of the world with Eren and prove to everyone that there is more than one way to the top.
Sensing her pace slowing down, the little skeleton popped its head out of the shadows and looked at the self-reflective beastmaster.
"Ka-ta...?" (Are you sad about what that person said, Hiiragi?)
"Ka-ta!" (Don't be sad, I will work hard to become stronger!)
The little one gently tugged at her pant leg, making a clicking sound full of determination.
"Crack, crack!" (One day, we will be stronger than everyone else!)
Mu Huoyue squatted down, looked into the serious little guy's eyes, and touched its skull with a smile.
Ellen was not a "bad guy".
It is a super little skeleton that can withstand the light emperor's field and will never give up fighting no matter how much of a disparity in strength it encounters with its opponent.
She stretched out her hand, bumped fists with the determined little skeleton, and made up her mind.
"Well, we will definitely become stronger than everyone else!"
