Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Hands-off Shopkeeper

Ye Yunyi looked down at the Qingling Roc beneath his feet.

"Let’s go!"

The Qingling Roc heard Ye Yunyi’s voice and let out a sharp cry. With a flap of its wings, its speed abruptly accelerated to the absolute limit.

In an instant, the sounds of rushing wind and sonic booms erupted!

The moment the Qingling Roc flapped its wings, the very space around them seemed to twist and distort!

Then, the Qingling Roc flew at an extremely low altitude!

It skimmed just above the ocean’s surface!

WHOOSH!

SPLASH!

In a flash, a black shadow swept across the water. Its speed was so great that it parted the surface, sending seawater surging to either side!

As for the Exotic Beasts under the water, they naturally scattered and fled.

After all, to them, such a massive Qingling Roc was no different from the ospreys they had seen before.

A moment later, the Qingling Roc suddenly soared upward!

Like a black arrow, it shot straight into the clouds.

Ye Yunyi watched, thinking to himself, ’This guy... sure knows how to have fun.’

’This means it must have just entered the Late-Star Stage. Its strength and speed have increased, so it’s just getting used to them.’

But Ye Yunyi didn’t stop it.

He let the Qingling Roc freely show off its speed.

Then, they headed toward the barrier.

「Meanwhile, at the training grounds.」

Gao Zhen and the others were teaching Ye Chen how to use his power.

Not far away, many members of the Alliance Guard Army watched the high-ranking officers, their lips twitching.

"Well, I’ll be. Look at what those high-ranking officers are up to."

A mid-level officer spoke. The person next to him glanced over and said, "What’s there to be surprised about? Do you know who that kid is? That’s Lord Ye’s son, an Innate Golden Level Mutant!"

"Get outta here!"

The chided mid-level officer looked at the speaker and waved his hand dismissively. This was something everyone knew; how could he not? What he was wondering about was whether there was something wrong with the deputy generals’ teaching methods.

But, on second thought, this was indeed how he should be taught.

"These deputy generals are putting their all into it. After all, he’s an Innate Golden Mutant. His future is limitless. He might even become the hope of humanity. If he becomes a King General or someone even greater in the future, these deputy generals, as his first teachers, will have bragging rights for life."

This one sentence filled everyone with longing. It was true.

The deputy generals would really have something to boast about then.

To be honest, they, the mid-level officers, also wanted to teach Ye Chen, but unfortunately, they weren’t qualified!

Just as they were thinking this...

...a sharp cry came from not far away.

They looked over and were stunned.

"Look, isn’t that Lord Ye coming over?"

At this, everyone nodded. After all, they had seen Lord Ye’s Qingling Roc mount many times.

But one of them stared at the Qingling Roc and let out a soft sound of surprise.

"Look, has that Roc gotten a lot bigger?"

His words made everyone look up at the sky again!

Then, their eyes widened in disbelief at what they were seeing.

It was true!

The Roc was indeed much larger!

"Did it level up?!"

"My god, I have to say, Lord Ye must have some special methods. An Exotic Beast of this Level can break through so quickly in his hands!"

"Honestly, I want to become one of Lord Ye’s followers and stay by his side."

"I’d say you can forget about it. Don’t you know Lord Ye? He doesn’t take male followers, only beautiful women. If a guy like you brought it up, you’d probably get kicked into the stratosphere."

This comment made the man who had just spoken’s face darken.

’Jeez.’

He really just wanted to be a follower, not *that* kind of follower!

Goddammit!

At that moment, Ye Yunyi also looked down below.

The Qingling Roc slowed down. After all, if it flew at its previous speed at such a low altitude, probably not even one in ten buildings within the barrier would remain standing.

A moment later, the Qingling Roc landed with Ye Yunyi.

Over here, the group of deputy generals looked at Ye Yunyi, their faces instantly breaking into smiles.

Ye Chen saw Ye Yunyi and ran over.

His steps were much steadier now.

The wobbly, uneven feeling was gone.

Ye Yunyi saw this and thought, ’The effects of their teaching are immediately obvious.’

He then crouched down, watched Ye Chen run to him, and picked him up.

"How’s it going? How are your studies? Have you been causing any trouble?" Ye Yunyi asked. Ye Chen heard his question but couldn’t speak, only babbling in reply.

Ye Yunyi then patted his head.

Nearby, the gazes of the several high-ranking officers were also focused on the Qingling Roc.

They stared at the Qingling Roc, their faces filled with confusion.

’This thing... it didn’t seem this big when we saw it before, did it? Not only was it smaller, but it wasn’t this imposing either.’

’Did it... level up?!’

And looking at its wingspan just now...

When its wings spread, they spanned a hundred meters.

’A size like that... it must be at the Middle to Late-Star Stage!’

’Such a fast leveling speed!’

An idea suddenly appeared in their minds.

’Among the pets Lord Ye raises in the future, could there be a King-level Beast?!’

The moment this thought appeared, they were all stunned.

Then they felt like they were going crazy!

’Even if his Beast Taming Ability is strong, it’s impossible to raise a King-level Beast, right?’

As they were lost in thought, Ye Yunyi walked over, holding Ye Chen.

He smiled as he looked at them.

Then, he asked, "Where is the Eighth King General?"

"Lord Ye, it’s like this. The Eighth King General said there was an important meeting, one that it seems all the King Generals had to attend, so she left the barrier to participate. We are this child’s assistant tutors, so she left his training to us for now."

"The Eighth King General also said that if anything comes up in the barrier, we are to report to you for instructions."

Ye Yunyi listened. ’An important meeting?’

’What for?’

He looked at the deputy generals, curious.

But he also knew that, given Shangguan Yulan’s way of doing things, her deputy generals probably wouldn’t know the details.

’Still, that woman really knows how to pass the buck. She leaves the barrier and tells them to find me if anything happens?’

Ye Yunyi snorted softly.

He was now at the Late-Star Stage.

Plus his various Skills.

And his Level 100 Battle Axe.

Now, he could probably insta-kill the Fire Flood Dragon from last time.

He was already fiercer than a typical King Level expert.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Ye Yunyi looked at them and, with a flip of his hand, took out a bottle of medicine.

Then, he took out a few pills from it.

The moment the medicine appeared, a fragrant medicinal scent instantly filled the air.

Everyone stared, their eyes shining.

’This is...!’

Then, Ye Yunyi walked toward them.
