Chapter 155: Where Did It Go?

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Where Did It Go?

"One day, I was at the Beast Taming Palace when I heard an Exotic Beast howl, so I went out to check."

"When I got there, I saw a black tentacle emerge from the ground and wrap itself around the Beast Taming Palace’s Late-Star Stage Exotic Beast, the Three-tailed Snow Deer!"

"Then, the tentacle pierced into the Three-tailed Snow Deer’s body. The strange thing was, the Three-tailed Snow Deer didn’t resist—or rather, it was completely unable to."

"It felt like the tentacle was absorbing something from the Three-tailed Snow Deer. I attacked the tentacle, but it ignored me at first. Then, it pulled itself out of the Three-tailed Snow Deer."

"It whipped toward me once, sending me flying. After that, the tentacle retreated back into the ground and hasn’t appeared since."

"Ever since then, I’ve felt that something’s wrong with the Three-tailed Snow Deer. It’s been incredibly listless!"

"I’m sure the Three-tailed Snow Deer’s current condition is related to that black tentacle!"

After she finished speaking, Ye Yunyi’s eyes narrowed.

’A black tentacle!’

’What does this mean?’

’It’s also an Exotic Beast?!’

’For it to be able to overpower a powerful Exotic Beast like the Late-Star Stage Three-tailed Snow Deer... it must be a King-level Beast!’

Ye Yunyi’s eyes narrowed again at the thought of a King-level Beast.

’What a powerful existence that must be!’

Ye Yunyi had never encountered one before.

However, Ye Yunyi felt that with his current strength, even though he had never faced a King-level Beast, he probably wouldn’t be at too much of a disadvantage if he did.

’But for a King-level Beast to be able to attack from underground, and within the Evergreen Barrier at that...’

’There are supposed to be two King Generals stationed at the Evergreen Barrier!’

’This thing is a serious threat.’

"Sir, I’d like to ask you to come back with us to check on the Three-tailed Snow Deer’s condition."

Ye Yunyi looked at Qu Yilin.

He then nodded.

’This beast is still quite valuable. After all, it’s a powerful Late-Star Stage Exotic Beast.’

’If I can cure it...’

’...it will be a great asset to me later on.’

"Alright. Let’s pack up and then we’ll head out."

As Ye Yunyi spoke, Qu Yilin grew excited.

She hadn’t expected Ye Yunyi to agree so readily.

In an instant, Qu Yilin felt a glimmer of hope for the Three-tailed Snow Deer’s recovery.

「Meanwhile.」

Elsewhere, the Eighth King General, Shangguan Yulan, had brought Fu Huiyu and Yu Bingyan to her residence.

She then began to serve them tea.

As they sipped their tea, she didn’t inquire about the purpose of their visit, simply chatting about the tea itself.

Fu Huiyu and Yu Bingyan watched Shangguan Yulan, their mouths twitching. ’This woman...’

’She’s a sly old fox. Trying to play mind games with her is pointless.’

"We came this time to visit you, sister. We also heard a remarkable person has appeared in your barrier, a man named Ye Yunyi. They say he has the makings of a King General and is also a senior Alchemist. We wanted to meet him."

"We hope you’ll be so kind as to lead the way for us to meet him in a little while, sister."

Fu Huiyu said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

The Eighth King General watched them and smiled. "He’s not that remarkable. The rumors outside are just exaggerated. Besides, that Ye Yunyi often travels between the Cyan Ink Barrier and the Fire Barrier. I’m afraid you two sisters may have made a wasted trip!"

The two of them: "..."

’Damn, she’s giving us the runaround, isn’t she?’

The two of them immediately decided to get straight to the point. "We’re going to go have a look."

Then, they stood up and started walking outside.

Shangguan Yulan watched them, feeling helpless. She knew that since these two had come in person, she wouldn’t be able to stop them.

"Fine. I’ll accompany you two sisters to have a look."

Then, the three of them set off toward the manor.

Along the way, Shangguan Yulan was thinking about what to say later to make Ye Yunyi dislike the two of them.

’After all, I have the home-field advantage. I’ve already given him so many good things. How can I let someone else recruit Ye Yunyi away from me?’

’Absolutely not!’

「A short while later.」

The three King Generals, along with a few other high-ranking officials, arrived at Ye Yunyi’s manor!

They then knocked on the door!

Yu Yan opened the door.

"And you are?"

"I am Shangguan Yulan."

"This is the Third King General, Fu Huiyu, and the Sixth King General, Yu Bingyan."

In an instant, many of the women near the door looked over. Hearing the Eighth King General’s introduction, they were all stunned.

They couldn’t believe what they were hearing!

’This...!’

’Three King Generals have all come at once!’

Vira also heard the introduction. She looked at the three women, feeling the powerful aura they exuded.

Her mouth twitched!

’King Generals!’

’She had certainly heard all about them!’

’The King-level Powerhouses in her Imperial Family only numbered two or three!’

’And now, she was seeing three of them right here!’

As for why they were here...

She didn’t know yet, but from the looks of it, it had to be related to Ye Yunyi, who had just left.

’That man...’

’What kind of person is he, to have three King-level Powerhouses come looking for him!’

"Honored King Generals, you’ve come because...?"

Yu Yan asked.

But she saw the expressions of the King Generals before her gradually change.

Their gazes were fixed on her belly.

At that moment, Fu Huiyu’s brow slowly furrowed!

’What is this!’

’What’s happening?!’

’Why is this girl’s belly frantically absorbing Energy from the outside world!’

Then!

She looked at the other women not far away, and her expression changed again!

’Their bellies are all doing the same thing!’

’This is...?!"

Then she looked at their large, swollen bellies!

’The implication was obvious!’

’These are all Ye Yunyi’s children!’

’In that case!’

’Are the fetuses the ones frantically absorbing the external Energy?’

’This is unheard of!’

’This guy is so incredible... are his children this incredible too?’

’This is simply defying the heavens!’

Furthermore, the two of them looked at the women standing in the manor, each one more beautiful than the last. While at the Evergreen Barrier, they had heard some things about Ye Yunyi, including that he was a marriage fiend.

Looking at the scene now, it was clearly true!

’And he specifically picks the beautiful ones to marry!’

"We’re here to find Ye Yunyi."

Fu Huiyu got straight to the point.

Yu Yan was taken aback. "My husband isn’t in the barrier anymore. He just left."

Those words left both Fu Huiyu and Yu Bingyan completely floored.

’What the hell!’

’They came all this way just to find him gone?’

’Is this for real?’

’Did Shangguan Yulan’s prediction actually come true?’

Beside them, Shangguan Yulan had a smile on her face. "Sisters, I told you. Ye Yunyi often runs between the two barriers. You might have a wasted trip coming here. Why don’t you head back for now?"

"We can wait!"

Yu Bingyan gritted her teeth, glaring at Shangguan Yulan.

They were determined this time!

Yu Yan listened and said, "My husband went somewhere quite far this time. He probably won’t be back for a while."

"Hm?"

"Where did he go?"

"He went to the Evergreen Barrier!"

Shangguan Yulan: "..." ’He went where?!’

’Isn’t that the barrier where they’re stationed?’

’Huh?!’

When Fu Huiyu and Yu Bingyan heard this...

...they immediately cupped their fists toward Shangguan Yulan. "Goodbye!"

And then they left!

Shangguan Yulan: "..."

’Hey!’

’Do you have to leave so quickly?!’
