“Ah! Mom, really?” Huang Tielan’s voice went an octave higher, her face filled with anticipation. She couldn’t help but think, -If this information is true, can I ask daddy to contact Professor Sun Qilong and request his help in curing Zhang Xiaoche’s mom?

-Mmm, if it really cures Auntie Sun, Zhang Xiaoche would be very grateful to me, right?

-Then will he like me, if just a little, because of that?

-No, I don’t want him to like me out of gratitude. That’s too impure!-

Hundreds of thoughts sprang up in her mind, when she saw her mother looking at her in amusement. Her mother said, “Just look at you. How can it be false?”

Zhong Yuqing was suddenly overwhelmed with the lamentation of ‘grown girls can’t be kept at home’. She continued, “This news is already spreading throughout the higher society of Bei Du. Countless beastmasters are trying to contact Professor Sun Qilong every day, asking him to cultivate their subdued beasts.

“But,” Zhong Yuqing suddenly made a turn in her words, “whether that beast’s skill would be effective against Zhang Che’s mother’s illness is still an unknown. Don’t be too hopeful about this.”

Huang Tielan didn’t care about that, however. A faint smile still hung on her face, “It’s fine. This is still a hope, isn’t it?”

Seeing her daughter’s mood seemed to be great, Zhong Yuqing broke the bad part of the news to her. “But this Professor Sun Qilong has never been an easy guy to talk to. Who knows if he’ll agree to help?”

Huang Tielan was stunned. “What, that subdued beast belonged to Professor Sun Qilong himself?”

Zhong Yuqing nodded, “Of course. Professor Sun Qilong is a talented beastmaster. If he didn’t spend so much effort on beast card cultivation, he would surely be a high-tier beastmaster by now.”

Seeing her daughter’s face darken, Zhong Yuqing added, “However, if you, my girl, enroll into Bei Du University’s beast card cultivation major, you should be able to request Professor Sun help with the healing with your teacher-student relationship.”

Huang Tielan’s complexion turned a little for the better. She pumped her chubby fist, “Then I must study hard to enroll into Bei Du University’s beast card cultivator major!”

After a short pause, she suddenly remembered what Han Sheqing had said this afternoon. She added,”Mmm, also, I’ll make a trip to daddy’s camp every day from tomorrow onwards. I’ll borrow their apparatus to practice making the cultivation fluids. Mom, you’ll help me with the cost for ingredients, right?”

“Then you’ll have to work hard, okay? Mommy believes that you can do it!” Zhong Yuqing cheered her daughter on, looking at her with an encouraging gaze.

Huang Tielan pumped her fist once more, “Right, surely I can do it!”

When Huang Tielan went back to her room to change, Zhong Yuqing slapped her forehead lightly. “That was hard. I finally managed to coax this girl… Not right, it’s not exactly coaxing. That newly advanced subdued beast of Professor Sun Qilong had indeed gained a healing type skill.”

Thinking of her daughter’s behavior recently, Zhong Yuqing was burning with anxiety.

This silly girl actually forsook her favorite subject, beast card cultivation, and turned to practicing the sword, even showing intentions of entering the beast world to kill exotic beasts with that kid called Zhang Che.

How could she let that happen? How dangerous was the beast world?!

However, Zhong Yuqing didn’t dare to stop her daughter directly, afraid of inciting her into rebelling against them and sneaking off into the beast world. The consequences would be unthinkable.

Fortunately, Bei Du University’s Professor Sun Qilong’s matter had come to llight within a small circle recently. After discussing with her husband, they decided to make use of her affections for Zhang Che and told her about this news, skillfully guiding her back onto the right path.

Naturally, Huang Tielan had no idea that she was being manipulated by her mother. After changing into her home clothes, she didn’t even bother to have her meal and instead opened up her personal terminal and inserted a chip into it, studying the relevant beast card cultivator information.

Zhang Che, who was currently in the beast world, naturally had no idea that Huang Tielan ‘went back to her old trade’ for him, immersing herself in the vast ocean of knowledge.

After he verified that the exotic beasts left a corpse behind if the frisky monkey killed them using bow and arrows, he headed down to the foot of the hill with quickened steps.

It was also good that they left corpses behind. That way, he didn’t have to worry about not having meat to eat in the beast world. Also, he gained sustainability in the beast world. Even if he delved into the depths of the beast world for extended periods of time, he wouldn’t have to worry about food.

Moreover, when the Gluttony Monkey killed the Purple-Eyed Fox, he discovered, to his surprise, that he actually obtained six points of soul force! What a surprise, indeed!

Although the Purple-Eyed Fox was a three-star bronze-quality exotic beast. It wasn’t very big, being only as big as an adult dog, weighing around twenty kilograms at most.

Zhang Che got the Purple Jade Condor to look for the nearest stream, then picked up the Purple-Eyed Fox’s corpse and mounted Hanxue, riding off to the water.

Upon reaching the stream a few kilometers away, Zhang Che quickly skinned the Purple-Eyed Fox and removed its organs, cleaning it. After which, he gathered a pile of dried grass and branches, starting a bonfire by the stream.

This time, Zhang Che finally didn’t have to rely on primitive methods to start the fire. Before he crossed over the spatial gateway today, he bought a traditional flint lighter. It was as easy as could be to start a fire.

Soon, a bonfire was burning brightly. Zhang Che racked up the Purple-Eyed Fox that was seasoned with salt and spices, roasting it.

That’s right; this glutton didn’t forget to buy salt and spices. It had been hard on his brain to remember that.

The Purple-Eyed Fox’s meat was rich and tender. After roasting it for some time, golden yellow oil started seeping out and dripping off the flesh. At the same time, a thick, fragrant smell wafted out, and Zhang Che started to drool.

“Tsk tsk, exotic beast meat is different, indeed. It smells so much better than normal meat like pork!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that the meat wasn’t cooked yet, Zhang Che really wanted to take a bite off it.

He hadn’t eaten anything or the greater part of the day. His stomach was as empty as it gets. Being enticed by the fragrant smell, every single organ from his mouth to his intestines were starting to rebel!

After a long and torturous half an hour passed, the Purple-Eyed Fox was roasted to a golden brown. A fragrance thicker than before spread out in all directions.

“It’s finally cooked. Chow time!”

Just as he ripped out a hind leg off the Purple-Eyed Fox, before he could even bring it to his mouth, Zhang Che suddenly received a warning from the Purple Jade Condor up in the sky, saying that there were about a dozen exotic beasts gathering in his direction.

Zhang Che was stunned for a moment. He wasn’t shocked, but elated.

“Hahahaha, I didn’t think there is actually such a use for roasted meat, saving me the trouble of finding these fellows!”

Zhang Che had nearly forgotten about it. When he was roasting that rabbit-like animal previously, didn’t it attract a bunch of Grassland Brown-Furred Wolves over?

It seemed the fragrance of roasted meat held an irresistibly strong attraction towards carnivorous exotic beasts!
