Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 375: Chapter 371: Choose the Temporal Department?

“The Great Sun Dragon Cicada? That sounds so cool!”

A glimmer of satisfaction flickered in Cicada’s eyes as it trailed off, the other pets circled around the moment they heard about it.

Woof woof!

(Human, why is my name so weird and the bug’s so cool? I don’t get it!)

Clink clank.

(Boss, I’m with the silly dog on this one.)

Crunch crunch.

(Ah, Gamma thinks it’s okay.)

Blub blub.

(No, this is the first time master has named something so perfectly.)

Hearing the complaints from his pets, Bai Qi was covered in cold sweat.

So it seems that his ability to name was underwhelming, their resentment ran deep. He didn’t think that the Great Sun Dragon Cicada sounded particularly impressive either.

“Ahem… Names are just labels, don’t take it too seriously. As long as you’re powerful, even if you were called Puppy, it would be the same.”

Seeing how his pets had so many opinions about naming, Bai Qi immediately switched topics. The pets accepted Bai Qi’s explanation and stopped fussing about their names.

“But I sincerely didn’t expect Epsilon to be the third to reach King-level. It was truly beyond my expectations.”

Schuck glanced at the transformed Cicada and mused, “Normally, a mythical bloodline should be harder to improve.”

“Maybe the Green Dragon bloodline balanced the Sun Beetle’s bloodline, which is why it broke through.”

Bai Qi offered his speculation then turned his gaze towards Gamma and Delta, the other two neglected children.

Delta’s case was unique and whether he could evolve was another matter. But Gamma, as one of Bai Qi’s three pets, was quite well-cultivated, but was beaten to the punch by Cicada, the fifth pet. This sort of upset the natural order of things.

It seems that they would have to have a “friendly exchange” with the Bo Ge family.

Rip~

The space above Bai Qi suddenly ripped open, and a dazzling figure descended from the sky, landing in front of Bai Qi and the others.

“Big sis, is it mealtime already?”

Seeing Old Lady Fan suddenly appear, Nicholas instantly realized something and hurriedly tried to run back to Jade Valley to prepare food.

“There’s no need, I would have starved to death by the time you remembered.”

Old Lady Fan pulled Nicholas back and walked up to Cicada, examining it closely.

“The breath of a mythical species, Bai Qi, where did you acquire it?”

Bai Qi gave a wry smile and briefly explained what had happened at the Sun Secret Realm to Old Lady Fan.

“So it’s a Sun Beetle?”

Old Lady Fan nodded and said, “It’s a significant being among mythical creatures, you’re lucky. But why does this little one still have the scent of a Green Dragon?”

“Epsilon is a symbiotic creature, possessing two bloodlines. It just combined the Green Dragon’s Scales and Green Dragon’s Blood, leading to an instant upgrade.”

Bai Qi paused, saw the expression on Old Lady Fan’s face and carefully asked, “Old lady, with your wealth of knowledge, could you have come from the… Mythical Era?”

Bai Qi’s words trailed off, and looking at Old Lady Fan’s suddenly darkened expression, he struggled to swallow his spit.

“Remember, never casually ask a lady’s age, otherwise, the consequences will be severe.”

Old Lady Fan’s hair fluttered in the non-existent wind. Her calm words carried an irresistible terrifying pressure. All the men present, including Nicholas, nodded unconsciously.

Was this kind of power really that of a legendary creature?

A big question mark rose in Bai Qi’s heart. However, after seeing Old Lady Fan, who was still emitting a terrifying aura, he hastily retracted his thoughts.

When your power was too weak, you dared not say, dared not ask, could only obediently shut your mouth.

Luckily, Old Lady Fan noticed her outburst and restrained her aura, “Our dragon race all have bloodline inheritance. I’ve lived much longer than Nicholas, so naturally, I know a bit more.”

“Oh, I see.”

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, then suddenly remembered something and grabbed the Cowskin Snake from the base.

“Human, why do you constantly disturb my deep sleep? It’s my hibernation period, can you please respect that?”

It seemed that the Cowskin Snake was not fully awake yet and was expressing his complaints to Bai Qi, who elegantly ignored him.

“Old lady, this is a creature I accidentally found by Taize Lake, I’m a little unclear on its origins. Have you seen it before?”

Bai Qi took the Cowskin Snake to Old Lady Fan and asked.

“Isn’t this just an ordinary water snake? Wait, where did its soul go?”

Old Lady Fan initially didn’t care, casually glancing at it. Nevertheless, she unexpectedly discovered that the Cowskin Snake was different and leaned in to take another look.

“I feel like it looks familiar…”

Old Lady Fan scrutinized the Cowhide Snake with a critical gaze, causing the snake to tremble in fear. With a swift movement, it broke free of Bai Qi’s hold and scurried onto Beta’s neck.

What a terrifying energy this creature exudes.

“Old Lady Fan, do you recognize this snake?”

Overhearing the murmurs of Old Lady Fan, Bai Qi immediately perked up and asked.

Old Lady Fan’s true age couldn’t be determined, but considering the history of the Association, she had to be at least over a thousand years old.

If Old Lady Fan recognized the Cowhide Snake, its origins must be even more extraordinary.

“I do not.”

Old Lady Fan shook her head and responded, “I’ve seen too many snakes to remember them all. However, this creature’s spirit doesn’t seem to be inside its body, which is quite fascinating. How about leaving it with me for a while?”

Upon hearing Old Lady Fan’s words, before Bai Qi could respond, the Cowhide Snake gave a shudder. It tried to flee even further away, but abruptly realized it had returned to Old Lady Fan’s side.

The powers Old Lady Fan held over space were not something Delta could compete with.

“I wouldn’t mind, as long as you’re happy, Old Lady Fan.”

Seeing the Cowhide Snake struggling in vain to move away but unable to move farther than a meter from Old Lady Fan, Bai Qi couldn’t help but chuckle and agreed to Old Lady Fan’s request without hesitation.

Although the Cowhide Snake seemed extraordinary, it never spoke the truth. In terms of usefulness, aside from being a source of food, it was less useful than the Six Sword Servants and the Jiuding System.

Aha, now it has another purpose, to earn Old Lady Fan’s favor.

Suddenly, it seemed useful.

“Human, how could you be so unfeeling, I am…”

The Cowhide Snake’s words were cut off as it found itself kicked off the ground by a powerful force. With a resonant shattering sound, it crashed into a nearby mountain.

“Tsk, quite resilient but a bit annoying. Otherwise, it would make a nice toy.”

Old Lady Fan glanced at it from afar, then turned her attention upon Bai Qi and his pets, a sudden sense of nostalgia overflowing her.

“It’s only been a few months and your pets have become stranger and stranger.”

“The Power of Death, ancient spectres, angels, demons, and the Sun Beetle. Looking at them, it seems like only our Delta hasn’t made any improvements.”

Saying so, Old Lady Fan suddenly grabbed Bai Qi’s collar and asked, “Boy, tell the truth, are you neglecting Delta?”

“Cough…Old Lady Fan, I am falsely accused. You know full well about Delta’s situation. Apart from its ancient form, Delta can’t maintain any form for long. I really have no solution.”

Bai Qi wore an innocent expression as Delta scuttled to one side to defend Bai Qi.

Brrrllbrrlld.

(“Old Lady Fan, please do not blame my master, he’s been really good to Delta.”)

The words weren’t an exaggeration. Although Bai Qi had become better off recently, after Bai Qi initially bonded with Delta, he fed Delta a heap of epic materials similar to a lavish meal. Without that, Delta wouldn’t have been able to upgrade its base attributes to match those of a King Creature.

“Hmm, I guess you’re alright.”

After scrutinizing Delta for a while, Old Lady Fan let go of Bai Qi’s collar.

“I have thought about Delta’s issue. As it could only maintain its ancient form, it probably has nothing to do with its Bloodline Level, but might be related to its era.”

Old Lady Fan paused, then suggested, “If possible, I suggest you try to obtain materials from the Temporal Department. It might expedite Delta’s evolution.”

“Temporal Department?”

The concept startled Bai Qi. He had considered letting Delta continue to enhance its base attributes and then force an evolution via the Evolution Egg once a certain limit was reached.

As for the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi had absolute confidence.

But now, according to Old Lady Fan, it seemed as if the abilities of the Temporal Department could also be feasible?

Old Lady Fan nodded, saying, “I’ve given it a thought. All the ancient fossil genes you’ve given to Delta have been preserved through the passage of time. Space is one of the few attributes that can be compared to time. If these two elements can be absorbed by Delta, there’s no reason that the Temporal Department can’t.”

“I see, I’ll keep an eye on that.”

Bai Qi nodded. He was just about to go redeem some resources, and planned to ask Master Xiang if there were any materials from the Temporal Department available for exchange.

“Aah~ I’m hungry and I haven’t eaten enough. Time to go to sleep.”

Old Lady Fan yawned and headed back towards the fissure she came from.

“Oh, remember to clean up here before you leave, and remember to take this secret realm with you when Nicolas goes with you. If anything happens, I won’t be responsible.”

Halfway, Old Lady Fan paused, her words cryptic and unclear.

“So, Old Lady Fan, you already knew that Nicholas was going to accompany me? Oh right, Chairman Zhao must have told you. But this cleaning up bit… could it mean cleaning up the toxins in here?”

Bai Qi looked off into the distance. The Green Dragon Secret Realm was filled with an overwhelming presence of poison. To cleanse it would be a massive undertaking.

“Fine, I’ll first head to the Tower of Decision, then to the Holy Relic Tower to exchange resources. The matter of the Green Dragon Secret Realm can wait till before I leave.”

After giving the matter some thought, Bai Qi decided to delay the cleanup and left the secret realm after notifying Nicholas.

He had been looking forward to exchanging his points for a long time.
