Chapter 81: Venomous Creatures Valley (6)
"Companion Venomous Creature?"
The mood in the Beast Palace had taken a sharp turn for the better.
But the moment I uttered those words, it felt like I had dropped a stone into a still pond, sending ripples of shock through the entire palace.
The Beast Palace Lord and the elders exchanged expressions of astonishment and admiration, their heads nodding as they spoke.
"A venomous creature that stays with you for life? Even here in the Beast Palace, where we cherish our beasts, no one has ever used the word 'companion'... And yet, a Central Plains man—"
"Such an incredible mindset, isn’t it? I’d like our disciples to learn from this. Lately, some of them have been treating beasts as mere servants, which has been troubling. How did someone like him end up with the Tang Clan...?"
"They say he’s a son-in-law of the Tang Clan. A real shame—he’d fit in perfectly here in the Beast Palace."
"They said Black Wolf had been collared by a woman, and I thought it was some bizarre act, but if the collar was held by both a master and a companion, does that mean they’re both each other’s master? Such a deep meaning!"
'No, sir, that last one is a misunderstanding.'
There seemed to be a few misinterpretations floating around, but in the end, the outcome was favorable.
By proving my deep appreciation for venomous creatures, I had won the hearts of these beast enthusiasts—they now saw me as one of their own.
Reptiles and insects were my specialty, but since they fell under the larger category of animals, it made sense.
