“Wifey, your technique is getting better and better,” Su Bai walked out of the bathroom and said with a smile.

“Go away!” Chen Ruoxue threw a pillow at him. She just did not want him to feel uncomfortable.

“I said your massage technique is getting better and better; is there a problem?” He caught the pillow and wondered aloud.

Another pillow smashed at him.

“Okay, I’m going to make breakfast.” Su Bai threw the pillow back. At this moment, he felt refreshed as his yin and yang had been balanced.

After leaving the bedroom, he released his pets first.

“Howl?” Ah Bai, didn’t you choose a new pet? As soon as Purple Jade came out, it looked at him and asked.

It had long been open to his constant contracting of new pets. Just like women’s clothing, there was only a difference between zero times and countless times.

It just wanted to know what he had contracted this time.

“Roar~” The other pets also looked over curiously, all hoping that their new sibling would not be too strong. They would be irritated if it was like the Ice Phoenix.

He rolled his eyes. “I don’t have the slightest integrity in your eyes anymore?”

Yeah, what else? The cub looked at him suspiciously. Was this not something obvious?

Su Bai: “...”

“I’m telling the truth; I didn’t contract any pets this time. Are you going to eat?”

He rolled his eyes and put down the medicinal cakes before leaving.

He was heartbroken; love was gone.

Purple Jade looked around curiously. Did its master really not have a new contracted pet? This was too illogical!

Little did it know that this was only because the boy had not found a suitable one.

Su Bai simply whipped up an eight-treasure porridge and fried eggs and pork.

“Wow, these dishes smell heavenly. What a good cook you are!” Chen Ruoxue walked in and praised.

“It’ll be ready soon.” Su Bai smiled.

The porridge was quickly cooked using a pressure cooker.

It was ready in a while. He put it in a bowl and placed it on the table for them to eat.

“Where’s that place you’re talking about that we can choose pets? Is it where your master is?” Chen Ruoxue asked while eating.

“No, it’s not. It’s a secret for now. You’ll know when we get there. It’ll definitely be an eye-opener for you,” Su Bai shook his head and said again.

“Well then when will we go? We have to report to school on August 25; it’s just a few days away.” She reminded him helplessly.

There were only ten days left before the start of school.

“I know, but I’m not sure, either. It’ll depend on the situation. If I can’t help it, we’ll attend school for a few days first before going there,” he said.

“Okay, then.”

Chen Ruoxue became more and more curious about what kind of place her boyfriend was talking about.

After eating, she packed her things, carried her backpack, and said, “Then I’ll go home. Give me a call when you wanna head over to that place.”

“Okay, be careful.”

Su Bai nodded and sent her off to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, she directly released her white dragon and rode it in the sky.

Su Bai took out the key, opened the upper shield, and let her leave.

After she was gone, he returned to his room, but to his surprise, the pets had changed today.

Although it was time to eat and play, they were releasing spiritual power while playing.

Only the phoenix and the dragon were really devoting themselves to releasing spiritual power, though.

Su Bai shook his head. It seemed like the phoenix’s spur was still very useful to them.

He did not expect them to behave like the phoenix and exercise continuously all day long.

After all, rest was still very important, and working hard sometimes did not guarantee a breakthrough or promotion.

However, he also did not want the cub to play all day long. It would be nice for them to be spurred on.

The reason why he did not require the other pets to train and exercise now was that, at a higher level, their comprehension and actual combat experience were more important.

They had experienced enough fighting in monster wildernesses, so there was naturally no need to train their skills, nor could they improve too much.

He prepared some fantasy potions and called the fox.

“Mewl?” Ah Bai, what’s the matter?

It raised its head to look up at him with a pair of charming eyes.

“To what extent has the strength of your senior, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, recovered?” Su Bai touched it.

I don’t know, either. Senior’s strength is too high; I can’t see through it. The Mewling Fox shook its head. Ah Bai, what are you going to do?

“Nothing. It’s alright if you don’t know. Don’t inquire for me; you’ll be misunderstood. These potions are for the senior fox. Please give it to her. ” Su Bai sighed.

Okay~ I’ll go to her then.

Nodding, the Mewling Fox used its spiritual power to carry the potion and then left.

“Learn well from your senior!” He waved his hand.

In fact, he wanted to know the strength of the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox to see if he could persuade it into following him.

He was still uncertain about the Blood Moon divine skill fight. There were big bosses inside, and he was afraid to go in without a trump card.

However, he also knew that it was a pipe dream. It was impossible. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox was too arrogant, and it would not easily follow him.

He lay on the sofa in a daze. The cub trotted over and batted its eyes.

Su Bai ignored it and turned over. “We don’t even have the basic trust between us; we don’t have love.”

Ah Bai, I was wrong; you’re the best. I was just kidding before. It nudged his arm and turned him over.

Its strength was not something he could resist.

“Okay, I’m not mad at you. I’m just thinking about things; can you not bother me now?” He looked at it helplessly.

I wanna experience a French kiss. I just saw it on TV, and it seems to feel great. Can we try it? The cub blinked and spoke coquettishly.

“No, you can wait for Ruoxue to come. You can kiss her to experience it.”

Su Bai flatly refused.

No, I wanna try it with a guy, but I don’t wanna try it with anyone except you. It was relentless.

“That won’t work. I have a girlfriend. It’s wrong to do this.” He shook his head in a firm refusal.

I just wanna try; there’s no other meaning. It showed a pitiful look.

“No means no.” Su Bai shook his head resolutely. He knew that Purple Jade just wanted to try it out, but he could not open Pandora’s box.

After the first time, there would be innumerable times. The bottom line would be broken step by step like this.

“Howl. ╯^╰” Hmph. It glared at him and left.

Su Bai went back to the room and lay in bed to think about things. He fell asleep after thinking for a while.

At this time, Hypnotic Powder seeped in, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

Not long after, the elf surreptitiously appeared in his room. It snorted softly upon seeing him fast asleep. Hmph! If I did it like this, no one would find out. I’m such a genius.

It came forward and kissed its master just like how it saw on TV.

After trying various tricks, it left with satisfaction. It felt normal and had no exaggerated reaction like what it had seen on TV.

Before leaving, it looked at the sleeping boy with a smile in its eyes. Hmph! I kissed you, and I won’t tell you.

...

In the afternoon, Su Bai woke up and stretched.

“Hah... I overslept. Hmm? Why does my mouth taste sweet?”

Feeling puzzled, he licked his lips and swallowed again.

He shook his head and took out the special mobile phone from his drawer.

This had been given to him by his master. It was specially used to call the old man, and he needed not be afraid of being recorded. It could get through to his master even in an alternate world.

After pressing the call button, he waited for about ten minutes before his master answered the phone.

“Disciple, why have you called!” Gao An’s roar came from the phone, and an explosion louder than thunder could be heard.

“Master, are you busy? Do you want me to call you later?” Su Bai was silent for a while and asked.

“You’re not in the way. Just hurry up and say it quickly.”

There was another deafening roar.

“Erm... I found a Kraken’s nest.”

“Sigh... Didn’t I tell you not to call me if you’re not dying and in danger? I—wait. What did you just say? A Kraken’s nest?!

“The Kraken’s nest that isn’t empty? The kind of giant Kraken which is much larger than an aircraft carrier?” Gao An’s voice became louder.

Su Bai: “...Yes, it’s a real Kraken’s nest.”

“Where is it?” asked his master.

At this time, the explosion and howling on the other end had disappeared. It was obvious that Gao An had blocked the outside sound.

“It’s actually in my house, behind the space crack in my manor. I’ve long discovered it but just couldn’t find a way to tell you about it before,” said Su Bai.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell Gao An. He could not contract a Kraken by himself as it was too powerful. If he did it alone, it might take ages.

“Just wait at home for two days; I’ll come find you soon. I’m very busy now. I have no time to chat with you,” Gao An said.

“OK, master. I under—”

Gao An hung up before he could finish speaking.

Su Bai was a little confused and curious about where his master was. Hearing the deafening explosions, the fight must be intense.

However, he had not heard of a war breaking out.

After thinking for a while, he did not bother about it anymore.

He had always wanted to develop a Kraken’s nest, but it was too difficult. There should be sovereign Krakens inside, or the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox would not have been afraid.

He had actually hesitated between looking for his master or Wei Ya.

In the end, he still chose his master, whom he felt was absolutely trustworthy.

Once he left the room, he looked around and found that the cub was not there. The phoenix was not there, either. Only the dino could be spotted sleeping inside.

He sensed that the dragon was in the bedroom and walked over lightly.

In the bedroom, the dragon, which had shrunk to a length of one meter, was lying in bed as it played with various types of metal and crystals. Its eyes shone while its claws moved incessantly.

Noticing his arrival, it quickly put away all these things.

What’s wrong? It had a slight trepidation.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s normal for you to have a hobby of collecting baubles and trinkets. I won’t stop you: you can continue doing so.” Su Bai waved his hand.

He had been wondering why the Blood Dragon was hiding in the room. It turned out that his pet was afraid of him finding out about its little hobby.

Su Bai shook his head. Pets all had their quirks.

Purple Jade loved playing games and planting flowers, Little Tyrant loved eating ores, Little Dragon loved collecting shiny things like gold and silver crystals, Ice Phoenix only loved training, and Mewling Fox was keen on creating dreams for itself.

Every pet had what it loved to do and its favorite environment, but because of him, they were all together and lived in harmony.

In fact, in terms of attributes, none of them liked being too close to one another.

Since his master had told him to stay put, he was not about to go out.

He spent his days drinking tea and growing flowers.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye just like this. At noon on a certain day, Su Bai was drinking tea in the living room while he played with his pets.

Suddenly, Gao An called, “I’m outside your house’s shield; open it.”

“Oh, I’ll be there soon.” He was surprised at first but quickly got up to get the key.

Ah Bai, is your master here? asked Purple Jade curiously.

“Yes, my master is here.” He went out to the balcony and opened the top shield.

Not long after, his master flew down on a bird and landed on the balcony.

“What you said on the phone, is it true?” asked the old man straightforwardly.

“Yes, the Kraken’s nest is on the other side of the space crack at the bottom of the reservoir. There are at least emperor Krakens inside.” He nodded.

“Let’s rush over and look!”

“Master, wait a minute; I’ll bring a pet.”

“No need. Is there any difference?” Gao An glanced at him disdainfully. He grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him on the flying bird’s back.

With a shake of its wings, the bird carried them to the surface of the reservoir. The entire bird turned into a spot of light green which formed a circular shield that protected the two.

At this time, a terrifying atmosphere broke out from the bottom of the water. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox appeared on the surface of the water instantly and watched the two humans with wary eyes, especially Gao An, whose pet made it feel a terrifying suffocation.

“Senior fox, don’t worry; we’re not here for you. We’re here to check the situation of the Kraken’s nest.” Su Bai quickly explained the situation.

“Relax. I’m not interested in you. Otherwise, you would’ve been caught by me already.

“You should take good care of your current injury. Don’t waste it all just when it has recovered. I don’t want my apprentice’s effort to be wasted.” Gao An glanced at the fox.

If not for his apprentice, he would really catch it and bring it back for study.

After all, he might really discover something about the Eternally Miraculous Beauty.

He ignored the fox and directly entered the water, smoothly passing through the space crack and entering a boundlessly deep ocean.

“Wow, I already feel Krakens’ breaths.”

A look of excitement appeared on his withered face. He let the sphere transform into a monster to take them up.

“Don’t worry. I’m here. There’s no need to be afraid. My Algae is invisible and can’t be detected easily.”

As if noticing his disciple’s expression, Gao An patted him reassuringly on the shoulder.

The Algae hurried all the way. It soon broke to the surface of the water and flew in the sky...

Su Bai saw the vast and boundless surface of the ocean, including the big and small Krakens cruising in the air and in the water...

What shocked him the most was the Kraken with a continent on its back.

The moment Gao An saw it, he quickly increased the invisibility function of his Algae.
