Chapter 213: Exotic Beast Above the Ocean

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Exotic Beast Above the Ocean

If the Soro Clan wanted to send their people, then so be it. After all, the Rose Clan was already leagues ahead of them!

Meanwhile, the surrounding clans received similar news regarding Ye Yunyi. Soon after, word spread that the Soro Clan was dispatching beautiful women to the East. At this, the other clans realized the intelligence was absolutely true. They knew the Soro Clan’s nature all too well—they were the type who would never commit without a guaranteed payoff!

Without hesitation, these clans gathered all the young women in their families who had just come of age and briefed them on their mission. Then, they all set off toward the East!

Meanwhile, at the villa.

Ye Yunyi had no idea that his name was already causing an uproar in the West. He was currently busy feeding the Exotic Beasts alongside the rest of the household.

Vira looked at the Crimson Flame Tiger, frantically pouring out Divine-level Beast Food. As a Northerner, she had always preferred powerful-looking animals since childhood, which made her particularly fond of a tall and mighty Exotic Beast like the Crimson Flame Tiger.

As for Little Heizi... well, it was a bit too scrawny. Vira kept this thought to herself, knowing that if she voiced it out loud, Little Heizi’s pride would completely shatter.

Ye Yunyi glanced at the Han Family Sisters nearby. Being the second group to join the household, their pregnant bellies were already quite large. Noticing his gaze, the sisters blushed and looked down at their stomachs. They were due to deliver soon.

"Hubby, do you think we’ll have boys or girls?" Han Bingyu asked, looking up at him.

Ye Yunyi waved his hand dismissively. "It doesn’t matter. Boys or girls are both fine."

"Hubby, you certainly know exactly what to say," Han Bingxue chimed in from the side, drawing laughter from everyone present.

Ye Yunyi looked at her and playfully pretended to pounce, causing Han Bingxue to giggle and run away.

"We’re not playing with you anymore. We’re going to find Sister Zhou. Come on, girls, let’s go see Sister Zhou," Han Bingyu announced. Since they were about to give birth, it was best for them to visit Zhou Huaiwei—who already had a child—more often to ask for advice and learn from her experience.

The others nodded in agreement, clearly understanding her intention.

"Let’s go. We’re not playing with Hubby anymore. We’re going to see Sister Zhou."

"Yes, let’s head out."

"Let’s go."

With a chorus of cheerful voices, the women departed.

Ye Yunyi looked at the departing crowd with a helpless expression and sighed. "Good grief, a lonely man left to his own devices. In the end, I’m still all by myself."

As he spoke, the Crimson Flame Tiger sauntered over and stared at him. It stuck out its massive tongue, ready to give Ye Yunyi a lick. The tongue was covered in dense, sharp barbs. A single lick from that thing could probably strip a layer of flesh right off its prey.

Seeing that tongue, Ye Yunyi immediately held out a hand to stop it. "No, no, no, don’t you lick me."

Rejected, the Crimson Flame Tiger looked noticeably crestfallen. Ye Yunyi couldn’t help but feel helpless as he looked at the beast. He thought, "These guys have even learned how to play the pity card now."

With a flip of his wrist, he took out some Divine-level Exotic Beast Upgrade Pills. "Come here, time to eat."

His words instantly grabbed the attention of the sulking Crimson Flame Tiger. The beast stared at the Divine-level Exotic Beast Upgrade Pills in his hand, its eyes practically shining with excitement. It bounded over and gobbled down a few.

Little Heizi and the White Wolf scurried over as well, followed by the rest of the Exotic Beasts.

Good lord. Ye Yunyi checked his inventory stats. He only had five hundred Divine-level Exotic Beast Upgrade Pills left. Ever since these creatures broke through to the Mid-Star Stage, their appetites had grown exceptionally voracious. He wondered why they hadn’t leveled up yet.

Just as Ye Yunyi was contemplating this...

SCREECH!

A piercing cry suddenly rang out! Ye Yunyi and the Exotic Beasts looked toward the source of the sound. Ye Yunyi was instantly stunned!

The Qingling Roc’s body was rapidly expanding! Originally, its wingspan was already large enough to blot out the sun, but now it was growing even more colossal! When it spread its wings, the span reached a massive hundred meters! Its overall build and height had also increased significantly. Its feathers gleamed with a cold, metallic luster under the sunlight.

The Qingling Roc gazed up at the sky. Its eyes were bright and piercing, seemingly capable of seeing through everything! Its razor-sharp beak now radiated a chilling glint that would make anyone instinctively want to keep their distance.

Ye Yunyi looked at the Qingling Roc, and an information panel immediately popped up above its head.

[Species: Qingling Roc]

[Bloodline: Pure]

[Tier: Late-Star Stage]

Late-Star Stage! This guy actually reached the Late-Star Stage!

Ye Yunyi immediately walked over to the Qingling Roc. He thought, "Good lad. You are still the fastest to grow."

"Let’s go. Take me out for a spin." Ye Yunyi patted the Qingling Roc.

The beast instantly let out a screech and kicked off the ground! It launched into the air and unfurled its massive wings! With a single flap, a violent gale erupted, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom!

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Yunyi pushed off the ground and leaped directly onto the Qingling Roc’s back. The roc then soared straight upward, piercing through the clouds and speeding forward!

Whoa!

Standing on the Qingling Roc’s back, Ye Yunyi felt the sheer velocity. It was nothing short of terrifying! In just a brief moment, they had likely covered tens of kilometers!

Ye Yunyi guided the Qingling Roc toward the East. After a while, he estimated that they should have reached the ocean, considering it was just a hundred kilometers away.

They flew over the ocean for about an hour. Suddenly, Ye Yunyi noticed a massive thunderstorm zone lying dead ahead!

Huh?!

He stared at the black clouds looming before him. They were incredibly dense and heavy, with lightning constantly flashing within!

CRACK!

The Qingling Roc’s pupils shrank as it stared at the dark clouds.

"Forget it, let’s not go over there," Ye Yunyi said. He thought, "Those black clouds are way too massive and filled with volatile lightning. If we get struck, won’t we be fried? Besides, we’ve been out for quite a while now." With that in mind, he turned the Qingling Roc around to head back.

As their silhouette faded into the distance, the black clouds began to violently churn.

Then, a gargantuan claw breached the surface of the clouds! It was wreathed in crackling lightning that acted like chains binding the appendage! The moment the claw reached out, the lightning forcibly dragged it back into the depths of the black storm.

As Ye Yunyi rode the Qingling Roc and looked down at the ocean below, he recalled what Fu Huiyu had mentioned before. The evolution of Exotic Beasts in the ocean was much faster than on land.

"There should be quite a few King-level Beasts in there," Ye Yunyi muttered, falling into deep thought.

The Cyan Ink Barrier and the Fire Barrier were both relatively close to the coast. However, a second thought soon came to him. He wondered, "So what if we are close to the sea? It’s not like those Exotic Beast fishes can come ashore and wreak havoc, right?"
