The military was indeed very efficient at their work.

The interrogation results for the ambush were out after the night passed and were sent to Huang Juyun’s office afterwards.

Things were as he had expected. The instigators were indeed from the mysterious faction from the Bei Mei region.

According to the captured beastmasters, the mastermind behind this was actually a General from the Bei Mei region’s military. Not only that, a financial group was also involved in this, in addition to many small to mid-sized factions.

As their experimentations on humans were truly against the ways of humanity, everything was done in the dark. The matter didn’t escalate to too large of a scale. Even so, during their conflict with the Nihong’s Miyazaki Clan, they directly beat the Japanese down from a first-rate faction to nearly a third-rate faction without suffering too great of a loss.

It went to show how massive and powerful this faction actually was!

Fu Tianjiang gave a call to Huang Juyun, passing on the top brass’ position on the matter. “Juyun, the higher-ups mean to treat this matter as if it never happened. After all, we’re the ones on the wrong side of reason. Since we already profited a lot off of this matter silently, we can’t possibly lie through our teeth and warn them through the proper channels, can we?

“Of course, we’ll definitely negotiate with them in private. Zhang Che that brat stole their things, so they’ll find trouble with him if they can! But if they dare make a move on his family again, then don’t blame us for being impolite!

“You don’t have to worry, though. As long as Zhang Che that brat doesn’t leave Hua Xia, they’ll probably not dare to make another move. After all, if they provoked the military, that tiny force of theirs wouldn’t be enough to stand against us.

“Of course, if Zhang Che leaves Hua Xia, we won’t be able to shield him from afar. It wouldn’t be easy to protect him, then. So, when that kid comes back, you have to tell him clearly to not leave Hua Xia, no matter what!”

Huang Juyun nodded. He replied, “Rest assured, Chief! I’ll remind Zhang Che.”

After ending the call with Fu Tianjiang, Huang Juyun finally sighed in relief.

Fortunately, the Zhen family was rational enough. They didn’t collude with outside factions. Otherwise, there’d have been an extremely huge commotion in Hua Xia’s upper echelons.

Naturally, the external faction probably knew the Zhen family wouldn’t shoot themselves in the foot in such a huge matter, and thus they didn’t try contacting the Zhen family at all. Instead, they got in touch with some underground factions in Bei Du and hired them to investigate information related to Zhang Che in the dark for benefits.

It was exactly because of this that they weren’t prepared well enough for the villa’s forces. The strike force they sent wasn’t a match for Liu Gang and the others at all, leading to their capture.

-When Xiaoche returns from the beast world, I’ll have to reemphasize that he not leave Hua Xia’s borders. They’ll surely launch a crazy vengeance once they find an opportunity...- , Huang Juyun thought to himself.

After all, that kid wasn’t one to stay put. Heavens knew if he would want to leave Hua Xia for whatever reasons in the future...

If that was really the case, it’d be very dangerous once they found out about it!

Of course, if a day came when Zhang Che advanced to a high-tier beastmaster and had subdued beasts even higher than epic-quality, he’d have nothing to fear. Even if Zhang Che sent himself to their doorstep, they’d probably only ask that he spare their lives and not dare to make any moves.

After all, beastmasters with divine-quality subdued beast were almost invincible existences. There weren’t many of them across all of Mercury. Which one of them weren’t legendary figures?

“Given that kid’s outstanding talent and absurd luck, he’ll probably become a divine-quality beastmaster in just a few years if he continues to grow stably.”

Huang Juyun was very well aware of Zhang Che’s heaven-defying luck. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such anticipation. Beastmasters with divine-quality subdued beasts were truly too rare. It wasn’t like anyone could become one if they wanted to, because to become a divine-quality beastmaster, first you had to have a divine-quality subdued beast!

Even so, were divine-quality exotic beasts so easy to hunt?

After reuniting with his babies, Zhang Che consolidated his rewards and found a place to have lunch. Afterwards, he summoned the frisky monkey out and started his search for spiritual herbs.

Previously, Zhang Che had promised the frisky monkey to find a spiritual herb potent enough for him to break through. If he didn’t make good on his promise soon, the fellow would probably cause a tantrum.

Well, it was impossible for the frisky monkey to wreak havoc in the heavens, but Zhang Che wouldn’t be able to stand his constant cries, either, especially since he had learned more words. Although the frisky monkey still couldn’t form a proper sentence, he was able to express his intentions clearly at the very least, insisting that Zhang Che help him find a high-grade spiritual herb. {TLN: Reference to Sun Wukong’s early days.}

It was the first time the elemental queen witnessed the frisky monkey’s terrifying ability. He was actually able to sense spiritual herbs from thousands of meters away, not to mention having rough knowledge on the spiritual herbs’ grades. It was simply an inhuman ability... no, it should be inmonkey!

For the first time, the elemental queen sensed that she might not really be the most important person in her Master’s heart. It seemed like she had to work harder from now on!

Regrettably, she was unable to warm the bed for her master since she was a fire elemental creature. Otherwise, he’d probably like her more..?

The frisky monkey’s eyes lit up slightly after he used his skill. Immediately, he extended his arm and pointed to the side, yelling at Zhang Che, “Baba, over there!”

Seeing the frisky monkey’s reaction, Zhang Che thought they found a spiritual herb potent enough for the former to advance. He raised his eyebrow, asking excitedly, “How is the spiritual reaction? Is it enough for you to break through?”

However, the frisky monkey shook his head slightly, expressing that the spiritual herb they discovered was of a decent grade, but wasn’t good enough for him to break through.

Zhang Che couldn’t help feeling disappointed. High-grade spiritual herbs were too rare. Wanting to find them mostly depended on luck.

“No hurries. We’ll find a high-grade spiritual herb eventually. Bring me to the spiritual herbs we found this time around first. I’ll reward you handsomely when daddy’s bees produce a higher-grade spiritual honey!”

Zhang Che knew the frisky monkey was a glutton, and thus directly used the spiritual honey to entice him.

As expected, having tasted the spiritual honey on multiple occasions, the frisky monkey’s eyes shone brightly after hearing Zhang Che say that.

The spiritual honey they found was the most delicious thing the frisky monkey ever had. Wouldn’t a higher-grade spiritual be even tastier?

A string of saliva drooled out from the frisky monkey’s mouth. He quickly sucked it back in with a slurp.

—

They found quite a number of spiritual herbs this time. After scavenging them all, more than twenty spiritual herbs were added to Zhang Che’s storage. That was only what they had gained from the surrounding ten thousand meters using the frisky monkey’s skill. Going forward, there was a larger area to explore. Zhang Che was fully confident in finding over a hundred spiritual herbs!

It wouldn’t be long before the Huang family’s herbal field would have to expand further. At that time, the several dozens of bee exotic beasts would be able to produce even better spiritual honey!

——-

When Zhang Che brought the frisky monkey and elemental queen to start sweeping through a wider area to look for spiritual herbs on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, the thing he had been searching for the whole morning, a powerful exotic beast, suddenly entered his sight.

Seeing the bloody-eyed, massive Berserker Bear ahead and its seven-star legend-quality status, Zhang Che was very pleasantly surprised.

It really was a case of growing a flower wholehearted only for it to not blossom, while a neglected willow one stuck in the ground unintentionally became pregnant... ah, no, it should be a neglected willow one stuck in the ground unintentionally grew to provide shade.

Using the seven-star legend-quality Berserker Bear to test the extent of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s strength was the most suitable.

“Come, Hanming, we’ll test your Extreme Yin Ray’s power. Don’t kill it!”

Although he said that outwardly, Zhang Che wasn’t worried at all. It was a seven-star legend-quality exotic beast, after all. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon might be a quality tier higher than the Berserker Bear, but it definitely wasn’t possible for him to kill it with a single skill. At the most, he’d severely injure it... right?
