Celestial Beast Taming

Qin Ruyue was a Moon Judge of the Purifying Moon Sect and bore the Crying Moon Blood Token, a gift from the Crying Moon Goddess.

This qualified her to become a true core member of the Purifying Moon Sect.

Qin Ruyue could only realize her greatest value while within the Purifying Moon Sect.

It would give Zhong Yi a channel to connect with a Bizarre faction, one presided over by a powerhouse at the level of the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.

As for Shi Mi, who had been converted into an Ant Successor, he would become a Mythical Tier living weapon in Zhong Yi’s hands.

A single Mythical Tier Peak combatant was definitely not enough for Zhong Yi, who wanted to build his own faction.

Besides, Zhong Yi had no intention of easily revealing a living weapon like Shi Mi, who had been converted by the Fertility Ant Queen.

Having an extra Mythical Tier Peak expert to act as his guard and protect him in Starlight City had only benefits and no downsides for Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi had been attacked at the entrance to the Central District a little after ten in the morning.

He had been held hostage for eight hours, and it was now a little after six in the evening.

At a little past six p.m., the sky over Starlight City had not yet completely darkened.

If night fell, Qin Ruyue could use Praise of the Enchanting Night, the Rule Authority of her Night-Cutting Spider, to recklessly absorb Energy under the cover of darkness and recover what she had expended.

If it truly became night, even Shi Mi wouldn’t dare to fight Qin Ruyue directly.

Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling got out of school at four in the afternoon and rushed home like young swallows returning to their nest.

Shen Xuan knew that two young Celestial Destiny Seekers, Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan, who were slightly older than him and Zhong Yi, were supposed to visit at noon.

Zhong Yi had seemed to take the matter quite seriously the previous night.

But when Shen Xuan got home at noon, he found that Zhong Yi wasn’t there.

He ended up being the one to greet Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan, which surprised him greatly.

Knowing Zhong Yi as he did, Shen Xuan was sure that no matter how interested he was in the Exotic Beast Garden, he wouldn’t miss an appointment like this.

Furthermore, Shen Xuan felt that something was off about Bai Chen’s and Yu Juanjuan’s expressions; it was as if they had something on their minds.

Several times when Shen Xuan tried to talk to them, they seemed distracted, as if they were worried about something.

Zhong Ling’s reaction was much stronger than Shen Xuan’s, because she knew Zhong Yi even better than he did.

Zhong Ling was certain that something must have happened to hold Zhong Yi up; otherwise, it was impossible he wouldn’t have come back at noon.

If Zhong Yi couldn’t make it back, he definitely would have told Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan beforehand to reschedule.

He wouldn’t just leave Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan waiting after they arrived.

During class this afternoon, Zhong Ling’s mind had wandered many times.

When she got home in the evening and saw that Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan were still there, but Zhong Yi had yet to return, Zhong Ling went straight to Zhong Chenghuai to ask him to look for Zhong Yi at the Exotic Beast Garden.

Zhong Chenghuai himself had just gotten back.

Zhong Chenghuai and Zhao Kai had gone out together that morning to purchase a large batch of supplies for the twenty Craftsman Apprentices Zhao Kai had recruited.

Hearing that there had been no word from Zhong Yi since he went to the Exotic Beast Garden that morning, Zhong Chenghuai called Xu Anjun.

Xu Anjun had been the one to take Zhong Yi to visit the Exotic Beast Garden at Senhe Hall that morning.

Xu Anjun was bound to know Zhong Yi’s whereabouts.

Over the phone, Xu Anjun didn’t tell Zhong Chenghuai much.

She only said that Zhong Yi was busy with something and would be back later.

Then, Xu Anjun immediately set out to find Zhong Chenghuai, saying she would wait for Zhong Yi with him.

Not only did Xu Anjun fail to explain Zhong Yi’s whereabouts, but she was also extremely evasive about the topic.

This gave Zhong Chenghuai a bad feeling.

After Xu Anjun arrived, Zhong Chenghuai threw caution to the wind and directly began grilling her for details.

In Zhong Chenghuai’s heart, Zhong Yi was the most important person.

When it came to any matter involving Zhong Yi, Zhong Chenghuai wouldn’t be the least bit careless.

Seeing Xu Anjun’s pleading gaze, Bai Chen and Yu Juanjuan simply pretended not to notice.

After receiving the news, the two of them were also very worried about Zhong Yi’s safety.

A Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker was simply too important to the Celestial Destiny Seeker community.

However, they both firmly believed that Zhong Yi would definitely be rescued.

If You Weiwei were to recklessly use the Rule Authority of her Order Beast, the Eye of Rest, and issue an Imperial Decree with the Emperor’s Tool, the Wand of Nothingness, she could take care of those two Mythical Tier Bizarres in an instant.

The only reason she hadn’t done so was that she didn’t want to harm Zhong Yi, who was being held hostage by the two Mythical Tier Bizarres.

Yu Juanjuan stepped forward and took Zhong Ling’s hand.

"Zhong Ling, don’t worry. Sister Zhuo, Brother Tao, and Sister Weiwei are all with Zhong Yi right now."

"Zhong Yi did run into some trouble, so let’s just wait here for him to get back."

"Shen Xuan, you don’t need to worry either."

"Ah Chen, go give Sister Weiwei a call and ask her how things are going."

"It’s getting late, so Zhong Yi should be back soon. I’ll go order some food from the Daytime Food Shop."

Yu Juanjuan’s greatest talent was slacking off. But as a major internet celebrity in the Xin Xia Alliance with over twenty million fans, her emotional intelligence was actually quite high, and she quickly spoke up to soothe Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling.

It hadn’t taken long after meeting Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan for Yu Juanjuan to realize that the two of them revolved almost entirely around Zhong Yi.

Shen Xuan, a Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker with SS Level potential, actually considered himself Zhong Yi’s Servant.

This discovery had left Yu Juanjuan utterly shocked!

That Mythical Tier spider-like Bizarre’s Rule was related to the night. Based on her analysis of the situation, Yu Juanjuan concluded that the matter would surely be settled before nightfall.
