"The King’s Spear is the core of this place. Since you’ve obtained it, you can try to reclaim the ecological power of this area," Qin Zheng said, stroking his beard.
He sighed with emotion. My spiritual strength has barely recovered, the Beast Taming Space is polluted, and most of my Pet Beasts were also killed. Clearly a time-type Beast Tamer, yet I can only rely on weapon-type Pet Beasts. This time, I’ve suffered a great loss. I’ll need to use the Qin Family’s reserve resources to resurrect the fallen Pet Beasts. It will take a long time to recover.
"Grandfather, does the King’s Spear have such a trick?" Chu Yi feigned ignorance as he played with the rusty short spear. A single scrape from it could cause tetanus, making one bleed continuously under its rules until all Life Force was drained.
"The King of Deep Red is an Evil God from a past era, and its creations are tainted with the power of time," Qin Zheng explained. He looked at Chu Yi for a moment, then said with surprise, "You hold the King’s Spear without issue. Perhaps you can control this forbidden item. It will provide unimaginable benefits for your future cultivation of time-type Pet Beasts."
"Then I’ll give it a try."
Chu Yi nodded. Following the method his grandfather taught him, the iron spear dragged out a streak of scarlet, and the entire Crimson World began to reverse...
A light sweep was enough to disrupt time. Countless scarlet shadows, including flesh and viscera, madly surged into the short spear!
"So fast?" Qin Zheng froze, his pupils constricting sharply. The other’s talent in the time system far exceeded his expectations.
Like a mortal wielding the power of a deity in a particular domain, could this be a Beast Taming Talent?!
Some Beast-Controlling Demons were born able to contract high-level, high-bloodline Pet Beasts, thus activating an unparalleled Beast Taming Talent. There was a saying among the upper echelons that these Demons had fragments of deific rank broken within them, allowing them to naturally control low-level Pet Beasts, even easily taming King Pet Beasts.
In an abandoned manor.
As time reversed, decayed trees grew tall and majestic. Leaves turned from yellow to green, and branches thrived. Decomposed seed husks emerged from the soil, hanging on branches, bearing abundant, fresh, and enticing fruit. Then, the fruit gradually shrank, transforming into fragrant petals. Buds closed, branches retracted, and they turned into tender shoots, merging into the main trunk.
In no time, the tree shrank drastically, reverting to the past, becoming a half-foot-long sapling.
And the entire manor, under the mockery of the Time Domain, reverted to an ancient past.
A swirl of deep red hues condensed, and a silhouette returned to reality.
A solid sensation came from underfoot as Chu Yi retracted the Blood Spear. Accompanied by his two Pet Beasts, he concluded his battle with the King of Deep Red.
This great battle, arranged by fate, not only helped Clock Eye advance to the second stage, but he also obtained the King’s heritage, reaping a significant reward.
Moreover, saving Qin Zheng was an extraordinary feat. With the Qin Family’s future support, he wouldn’t have to worry about overt troubles.
Three birds with one stone! Eldest Master Chu had profited greatly!
"Master is the best!"
Bika extended her six fox tails, wrapping them around Chu Yi’s neck like a cute scarf, emitting a soft and adorable fox cry.
Chu Yi was in a cheerful mood.
But the next moment, he saw a familiar piece of clothing moving about as if it had grown legs.
This is... my precious daughter’s knight outfit. Has it gained a spirit?
Nearby lay scattered boots, long pants, and black silk stockings.
Chu Yi was stunned. He stepped forward, grabbed the lively clothing spirit, and lifted it.
Immediately, silken black hair, like clouds, cascaded down. A radiant, Mutton Fat Jade-like complexion, carrying a faint, sweet fragrance, was suddenly revealed before Chu Yi.
"Give it back to me!" a babyish voice said angrily.
A little loli, as if delicately carved from pink jade, puffed her cheeks angrily. She pulled the loose knight outfit down to cover her petite body. It hung loosely on her, and she buried her small head inside, transforming once more into a swaying clothing spirit.
Chu Yi’s pupils widened in a great shock.
Seeing the little loli’s face flushed with shame and anger, and hearing the slightly familiar tone, he asked dazedly, "Are you... Sister Jiang?"
An elder sister becomes a loli? How interesting... Pfft, I’m not a loli-con. Chu Yi thought with disdain, entirely forgetting the Moon Princess’s Yu Luo Dual Cultivation, boundless in Mana, which had almost kept him there forever.
A Cloud Eagle the size of a chick ran over from a distance, its undeveloped small fleshy wings flapping.
Behind it chased a black carp, buoyed by a current of water, its sharp teeth bared as it nipped at the eagle’s tail.
The Cloud Eagle was a mid-level servant-class Pet Beast, the initial evolution of the Dragon Eagle.
"WAAH!" The Cloud Eagle cried. I saw it with my own eyes! The fish in the pot knocked off the lid and shot high-pressure water jets and Water Dragon bullets directly at me! And somehow, I turned into this short and powerless state, beaten into a panicked retreat! An eagle brought low, bullied by a fish!
"What on earth happened here?" Chu Yi suppressed the joy in his heart, pretending to think deeply.
After I withdrew the Time Ecosystem Domain from this place, the entire environment, including people and Pet Beasts, underwent magical changes. Perhaps it was the last resort of the King of Deep Red, or some rule was triggered. In any case, this King’s Spear needs a good study.
"What’s going on? What happened?"
From the swirling portal, another cheerful figure emerged: none other than the old fox Qin Zheng, who had played his granddaughter’s hand so well.
In the next moment, the portal collapsed into a deep red color, coalescing into a short spear, which Chu Yi tossed into the kitchen.
"Grandfather, was this your doing..." A small, exquisite face peeked out from the moving clothes, glaring at Qin Zheng. "Change me back quickly!" she said angrily.
Qin Zheng paused, staring at the little loli for a while. Shocked, he then looked at Chu Yi and exclaimed, "You and Qiuyun have a child already? This is too fast! This old man... Ahem."
Chu Yi was speechless. He knew this old fox was playing dumb, scheming something again.
"Grandfather!" Jiang Qiuyun stomped her jade foot in anger.
Since the boots and stockings were ill-fitting, her beautiful, white lotus-like jade foot landed on the ground. With a pretty, childish face filled with resentment, she declared, "If you keep this up, I’ll truly be angry and won’t play with you anymore!"
Qin Zheng stroked his beard and sighed, "Qiuyun, Grandfather suffered the curse of an Evil God. Luckily, Chu Yi helped me resolve the pollution issue.
"I believe you also noticed early on that this manor is filled with a peculiar power of ancient ages; that’s the curse from that Evil God."
Jiang Qiuyun was stunned. What? Chu Yi resolved Grandfather’s curse? Was this why he stayed behind alone? Then, in a cute but fierce, babyish voice, she demanded, "What does this have to do with me turning into this wretched state?!"
Qin Zheng said solemnly, "Rest assured, Qiuyun. Since Chu Yi solved my problem, he can also help you recover."
"How about this: since you two are bound to marry someday anyway, why not move out and live with Chu Yi?"
