Divine Beast Adventures
chapter-434

Edited by Aelryinth

Going forward, Zhang Che flew straight back to Mercury on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

He had obtained enough rewards on this trip. He no longer had the mind to go deal with those scattered exotic beasts, letting many of them off.

After more than a day of flying, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon finally arrived close to the safety zone.

The journey wasn’t boring, actually. The elemental queen had kept Zhang Che company, chatting with him.

After leaving the flaming mountains, she seemed to be curious about everything regarding the outside world, especially the two encounters with other beastmasters, leaving her very confused.

Weren’t they of the same kind as her master? Why were they so much weaker?

In the elemental queen’s heart, naturally Zhang Che was the strongest. The others were only trash.

Regrettably, Zhang Che didn’t show any signs of happiness at the elemental queen’s admiration.

His dream from that night had scared him badly. He would no longer have any weird thoughts about her.

-Ai, it’s all because Miss Tienan is too conservative. If she did what she should, I wouldn’t have those thoughts towards a non-human creature…- Zhang Che sighed. He was thinking if he should go find Huang Juyun and ask for Huang Tielan’s hand in marriage when he returned.

-Would I get beaten to death by future father-in-law if I’m so impatient?

-Well, probably not, thinking about it. After all, father-in-law should be hoping to see me and Miss Tienan confirm our relationship as soon as possible, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t he die from regret if another person suddenly comes along?

-It’s more likely for Miss Tienan to beat me to death if she knows what I’m thinking, though…-

———

After entering the safety zone, the elemental queen’s impressive figure and appearance immediately became the focus.

It couldn’t be helped. She stood close to a hundred and ninety centimeters tall, yet didn’t give off an imposing feeling. Her perfect figure left some of the female beastmasters so ashamed that they wanted to commit suicide. That flame-shaped pattern on her forehead was especially noteworthy, adding a sense of mystery to her. Her tight-fitting golden armor showed off the curves of her body perfectly. It was simply the perfect combination of an angelic appearance and a devilish figure.

As a result, Zhang Che also became the focus of attention. Almost every male beastmaster cast envious gazes at him, hoping to replace him.

However, when Zhang Che felt the surrounding gazes, he was actually thinking if they knew about her real identity, they would be scared to death. Which of them would still dare to fantasize about her that way?

Even so, Zhang Che still felt very uncomfortable being looked at like that, The gazes from some of the men who didn’t conceal their greed and lust when their gazes fell onto the elemental queen left Zhang Che feeling annoyed.

Although his pet couldn’t warm the bed for him, he couldn’t allow them to fantasize about her so casually, either!

In the next moment, Zhang Che’s powerful mental strength erupted, sweeping outwards, emitting so much pressure that the people’s faces changed one after another, no longer daring to look his way.

This world was still one where the strong reigned supreme!

Although Zhang Che wouldn’t dare to do anything in the safety zone, heavens knew if an expert would bear a grudge and find trouble with them outside of the safety zone?

Beauty was pleasing to the eyes, but no one dared to risk their lives and continue sneaking peeks.

—

After exiting the safety zone and crossing the spatial gateway, the elemental queen showed a look of excitement and curiosity again when she saw the buildings around the military camp.

When Zhang Che brought her into the military camp and boarded Dijiang-hao, her eyes were shining with an extraordinary splendor.

She felt that being taken in by her master was the best thing that could have happened. The flaming mountains could never be as fun as outside!

On the other hand, the person in charge of the camp was looking at Zhang Che strangely.

He clearly remembered this future son-in-law of the Huang family was alone when he came. Why was he with such an extremely beautiful woman after coming out of the beast world?

-Should I tell Huang Juyun about this in secret?

-Forget it. The Huang family will learn about this sooner or later with this kid bringing this woman by his side so openly. I have no need to go be such a vile character.-

Dijiang-hao slowly rose in the air, then suddenly accelerated, speeding off towards Bei Du.

Inside Dijiang-hao, the elemental queen finally couldn’t suppress her curiosity any longer when she saw the scenery outside quickly flashing by. She asked, “Master, what is this? It’s so fast!”

Zhang Che opened his mouth, but no words came out. He didn’t know how to begin explaining the sky shuttle to her. There was too much knowledge involved in this. He wouldn’t be able to explain clearly in a short amount of time.

In any case, the elemental queen seemed no different from human, other than the essence of her body not being that of a human. He’d just let her slowly learn about the world.

-Hmm, I’ll just get her a personal terminal after we get back to Bei Du and let her absorb the information on her own from the internet.-

With the elemental queen’s learning ability, it shouldn’t take long before she integrated herself into human society. As long as he didn’t say anything, there shouldn’t be many people who could tell she was actually not human, right?

Of course, some experienced mid-tier beastmasters and high-tier beastmasters with powerful mental strength should be able to tell that she wasn’t human…

——

After about four hours of super high speed flight, Dijiang-hao finally landed safely at Bei Du Airport.

Seeing this incredibly prosperous huge city, the elemental queen felt like her eyes weren’t enough to take it all in. She didn’t ask Zhang Che any more questions. She looked left and right, like an innocent girl abducted by Zhang Che.

After returning to Mercury, Zhang Che had notified his close ones about his safe return.

Liu Gang was already waiting here with a car when Zhang Che walked to the arrival hall.

After seeing the elemental queen next to Zhang Che, his eyes nearly popped out.

-Damn, isn’t this too much? Let alone finding a mistress outside, he even brought her back to Bei Du so openly. Isn’t he afraid of being skinned alive by Young Miss?

-Hmm? Something’s wrong. She’s not human!-

As a high-tier beastmaster, Liu Gang was only misled for a moment before he quickly felt the enormous fire elemental energy inside the elemental queen. He quickly realized that she wasn’t human.

But did the beast world have humanoid exotic beasts?

Liu Gang was incredibly shocked. He had never heard of the existence of humanoid exotic beasts. This young master was indeed extraordinary to actually get himself such a pet. How envious!

However, Liu Gang knew very well to not ask anything he shouldn’t be asking.

So, even though he had many questions in his mind, he’d only keep to himself and drive the car honestly as long as Zhang Che didn’t say a word about this, driving him and the elemental queen to the Huang family’s ancestral home.

——

This time, he had gathered many spiritual herbs, as well as close to five hundred kilograms worth of spiritual honey. Zhang Che needed to make a trip to his father-in-law’s place to deal with those matters first.

Although the spiritual herbs were only ordinary stuff, other than that ginseng with extraordinary spiritual fluctuations, there was still a possibility of them becoming a tier better if they could continue cultivating the herbs in the herbal field, especially that ginseng. It mustn’t be used directly. That’d be too much of a waste!

With the gigantic spiritual jade, the ginseng could totally continue growing. Even if they only used the root hairs in the future, it was enough for refining medicinal pills!

There was also the spiritual honey. The energy inside had an extremely gentle nature. Even ordinary people could consume it directly. If they could find some supplementary herbs to refine it with, surely they could display a greater effect!

Not only that, there was also the pile of fire crystals. Zhang Che needed to depend on the Huang family to confirm what kind of mineral it was.

Even if the Huang family didn’t know the attributes of these rare minerals, they had enough resources to conduct research on it. They’d definitely be able to find out its uses in the end!

——

After arriving at the Huang family’s ancestral home, Huang Juyun’s eyes contracted slightly at the sight of the elemental queen. He couldn’t help but be in shock at Zhang Che’s heaven-defying luck.

Huang Juyun naturally had some understanding of these fantastical non-exotic beast creatures. He had the fortune of coming across them in the past as well, but he had never heard of anyone taming them, not to mention the creature in question being a humanoid elemental creature.

Moreover, this womanly-like fire elemental creature was comparable to an epic-quality exotic beast. With Zhang Che’s strength, it wouldn’t be hard to kill her. But taming her? That seemed impossible, wasn’t it?

-Looks like there are still many things I don’t know about this kid…-

Zhang Che immediately saw through the doubt in Huang Juyun’s eyes. He took the initiative to explain to him, “Uncle Huang, this is a fire elemental creature. I beat her so badly she was on the verge of tears, and in the end she shamelessly insisted on following me.”

After hearing what he said, the elemental queen looked at him resentfully, thinking, -Master, don’t you feel your conscience pricking at you?-

After recovering from the initial shock, Huang Juyun no longer cared about this. In any case, it was no use being envious of Zhang Che. He’d better take a look at the astonishing harvest he got this time.

During their earlier call, Zhang Che had briefly talked about his gains on this trip to the beast world. It really left Huang Juyun anticipating.

An arm-thick, over a foot-long ginseng, and close to five hundred kilograms of spiritual honey were all top-grade stuff! The Huang family’s research on herbs couldn’t be underestimated. Huang Juyun was clearer than anyone regarding those things’ value.

Indeed, when Zhang Che took them out, even though he was mentally prepared for it, Huang Juyun still couldn’t resist sucking in a breath of cold air. He was utterly speechless. This kid’s luck was truly too astonishing!

Just as the two were looking into the gains Zhang Che obtained on this trip, Miss Tienan’s voice suddenly rang from outside, “I’m back, Zhang Xiaoche!”

In the next moment, she came walking in excitedly with a bounce in her feet with the rainbow spider and the Four-Winged White Tiger following behind her.

Then, she saw the elemental queen standing politely next to Zhang Che, looking around curiously.

“Zhang Xiaoche, aren’t you going to introduce her?” she said with a smile, her eyes narrowed. However, Zhang Che sensed a thick killing intent coming from her.

Zhang Che shivered from head to toe. He quickly pointed at the elemental queen and said with a smile, “Haha, she is a helper I found for you from the beast world! She’s a pure fire elemental creature, with top-class control over flames. It’ll be much more convenient for you to handle some ingredients in the future.”

Zhang Che’s strong will to live left him led to him directly selling off the elemental queen without any hesitation, or thinking things through.

“Really? Thank you so much!” Huang Tielan replied, smiling, but her gaze shifted over to her father. When she saw Huang Juyun nodding lightly with a smile, she finally believed Zhang Che’s words and looked at the elemental queen with extreme curiosity.

-Is this beautiful woman really not human? How very interesting!-

Zhang Che immediately regretted the things he had said while driven by his strong will to live. He really wanted to slap his mouth.

-Do I really have to give Miss Tienan such a great pet? Why do I feel so unwilling…-
