Chapter 413 - 412: Pet Egg

As for the Golden Tiger Cub’s name, Yu Zhizhi didn’t have any ideas yet.

She wanted to wait until the cub hatched to think of one, and besides, she wasn’t sure if the Big Tiger would even use a name she picked.

Yu Zhizhi curled up on the bed, hugging the golden Beast Egg. The Tiger Clan markings on its surface glowed with a white light, looking both sacred and powerful.

The wind gently stirred the chimes hanging on the balcony door.

The Little Octopus gently poked the Beast Egg with a tentacle. It whispered, "Shouldn’t we hide the Beast Egg? That way, they won’t be able to find it."

"I don’t think... that would work..."

’The Beast Egg’s aura is very difficult to hide.’

’And it’s already been discovered.’

’The Moon Rising Empire will definitely take action.’

"Oh..." The Little Octopus rolled over on the bed, staring blankly at the wind chimes outside the door.

The weather in the territory was fantastic. The sun was warm, and Yu Zhizhi soon felt drowsy.

She fell asleep hugging the Beast Egg.

When she woke up, it was almost dark.

Yu Zhizhi noticed a small bamboo basket had appeared in the room.

She placed the Beast Egg inside it.

’Time to write the invitation.’

The territory’s affairs were mostly settled. The housing for the guards had also been arranged.

The next step was to clear out the withered forest.

Once the seeds from Yusen were sown and the plants began to grow, this little island would be teeming with life!

Yu Zhizhi printed out a formal "invitation."

As she was about to write, she saw the white fountain pen in her hand. It was a gift from Louis.

Yu Zhizhi still remembered making a promise with Louis a long time ago when he saw her off as she was leaving Paradise—

Back then, having her own territory seemed like a distant, unattainable dream.

She never expected all of it to come true.

She really had her own territory.

As promised, this invitation had to be sent to Paradise in the Moon Rising Empire.

Yu Zhizhi wrote down Louis’s name.

After a brief pause, she added the names "Lou" and "Spider" right after it.

Lou’s favorability was nearly maxed out, but Spider’s was still a bit distant.

’I wonder what Spider likes?’

Yu Zhizhi thought for a moment. Although she didn’t know what he liked, she knew one thing for sure: if the first invitation wasn’t sent to Paradise, Master Spider would definitely...

She folded the invitation and placed it in a kraft paper envelope.

The invitation had to go through official channels, so it might take a while.

And as for the second letter...

Yu Zhizhi hesitated. Should she write a letter to Prince Canglan as well? Not an invitation, just a simple letter.

’What happened at the Extreme Ice Palace is still vivid in my mind. My relationship with the Big Tiger has hit rock bottom, and his favorability toward me is almost completely gone... He might not even show up to bring the tiger cub home this time.’

’Maybe I should just write a letter and see if I can ease the tension?’

’I’m not expecting a reply.’

’Just...’

’A one-sided gesture to show I care.’

Yu Zhizhi rarely wrote letters. She held the pen, hesitating for a long time, unsure of what to say.

After thinking for a long time, she wrote down a few simple greetings.

It was only a few sentences.

’The page looks too empty,’ she thought, ’as if I didn’t put any effort into it...’ So, Yu Zhizhi wrote a bit about the territory and ended by wishing him all the best.

’Okay! This will have to do for now!’

Yu Zhizhi sealed the letter, planning to send it out along with the invitation.

After finishing, she ran out to find the Little Octopus.

In the territory, they could plant Firefly Flowers at night. Once they grew, the ground would be covered in their light, as if stars had fallen from the sky.

The Little Octopus carried a bucket and a shovel, while Yu Zhizhi held the flower seeds. They specifically chose a spot very close to the castle.

It skillfully turned the soil, and in no time at all, it had cleared a large patch of earth suitable for planting.

As Yu Zhizhi placed each seed in the ground, she asked, "Did you do this sort of thing often in the Beast God’s Homeland?"

’You seem so skilled at it, after all.’

The Little Octopus sprinkled water. "Nope. There was nothing good to plant there."

"But you know how to plant flowers."

"I was born knowing how!" the Little Octopus said proudly. "Besides planting flowers, I can also raise Beast Eggs and fight!"

’Raise Beast Eggs?’

Yu Zhizhi squatted in the flower patch, a crystal lamp by her feet.

’He is pretty skilled at that, actually.’

’As for fighting...’ A smile tugged at her lips. ’Since coming to the Beast World Planet, the only fight I’ve been in was against the Little Octopus. And I won, hahaha!’

The Little Octopus, completely oblivious to the smile on the rabbit girl’s face, shouldered its hoe and continued tilling the land. It fantasized about a future where seeds covered the entire territory, and everything would be vibrant and full of life under the rising sun.

"Have you thought of a name for the territory?" the Little Octopus suddenly asked.

Yu Zhizhi shook her head. "Not yet..."

"Some territories are named after their Lord, and some are given names by the Lord. If you don’t like it, the name can be changed at any time," the Little Octopus explained.

"Oh, I see~"

Yu Zhizhi mulled it over. ’What should I call my territory?’

’Zhi Zhi Territory?’

’Using my own name feels a little embarrassing~’

She looked up. Night had fallen, the breeze was crisp, and the stars shone with exceptional brightness.

"How about... we call it Sky Star Territory?"

The Little Octopus looked up too. "Sky Star Territory? Like the sky full of stars?"

"I like the sound of that!" It wiggled its tentacles.

Yu Zhizhi noticed that the Little Octopus had become exceptionally excited since arriving in the territory. Being around it for so long, she felt its enthusiasm was contagious, helping her quickly forget her worries.

They planted the Firefly Flowers under the cover of night.

The castle was lit up.

Guards patrolled nearby.

At night, the territory was mysterious and quiet, possessing an indescribable sense of leisure.

It felt like being on vacation.

With no urgent tasks, Yu Zhizhi’s body and mind were completely at ease. She suddenly felt that this kind of life was actually quite nice. Time flowed slowly, and she could spend her days digging in the dirt, planting flowers, and raising a Beast Egg...

’A Beast Egg...’

’Wait, did I forget something?’

Yu Zhizhi vaguely recalled that a long time ago, when she leveled up, the system had rewarded her with a Pet Egg!

Back then, she had to unlock a territory to hatch it, so she’d placed the Pet Egg on her Storage Shelf and hadn’t thought about it since.

Over time, she’d completely forgotten about it...

’Now that I think about it, I think it was an Elf System Pet Egg...?’

Yu Zhizhi quickly grabbed one of the Little Octopus’s tentacles. "You’re getting an egg!"

It’s not a Beast Egg, but a Pet Egg still needs to be nurtured and hatched with care!

The Little Octopus froze.

Yu Zhizhi happily picked up the crystal lamp at her feet and started dragging the Little Octopus back to her room.

The guards watched the Rabbit Clan Lady’s retreating figure, stopping to bow from a distance.

Ai Xi, a female of the Bee Clan, was carrying a late-night snack. Upon seeing her, the Little Octopus quickly shouted, "Bring it to the room! I want some, I want some!"

Back in her room, Yu Zhizhi closed the balcony door.

After Ai Xi set down the food, she excused herself.

"What is it? What did you want to show me?" the Little Octopus asked, sidling over curiously.

"First, close your eyes."

"Okay."

The Little Octopus obediently closed its eyes.

Yu Zhizhi opened her system’s Storage Shelf and saw two beautifully patterned Pet Eggs, though their colors were a bit dim...
