After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 168 A Stain on My Life
When He Zi saw the message, she suppressed her anger and cursed Shen Jinxi in her heart for being so cunning.

She also had to pretend to be calm and composed when replying to messages.

I've waited at your house for so long, and you won't even let me have a glass of water?

Shen Jinxi refused, saying, "I'm not feeling well. Do you have no water?"

He Zi slapped the steering wheel in frustration, shut down the cloud service, started the car, and drove away.

Shen Jinxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching He Zi leave through the thin gauze curtain.

"System, do you have a way to find out who the second host is bound to?"

Shen Jinxi withdrew her gaze, preparing to get down to business and shift her focus to the mission.

[System: Unable to query. Even Stardust level might not be able to find it, let alone someone as weak as Stardust.]

Seeing that no second person could be found, Shen Jinxi had no choice but to proceed according to plan.
-
Since the heavy snow two days ago, the next two days have seen acid rain mixed with snowfall descending on the mainland, and fewer and fewer people are willing to go out.

To Sang Tian's relief, none of her employees gave up.

Considering the inclement weather, Sang Tian allowed people to be an hour late, and surprisingly, no one was late.

Today is the day Sang Tian and Tang Xiaoyan agreed to go to Thunder Island.

When Sang Tian was choosing people at home, she deliberately ignored Li Su and only brought Bao Zeming and Bi Jingyan this time.

"Let's go now that we're all packed," Sang Tian urged the two.

Today is also the day she and Han Mengyuan agreed upon; whether it will be a top-grade crystal core or an ordinary crystal core depends on today.

Bao Zemin and Bi Jingyan followed behind Sang Tian.

"Are you so sure you'll be paired with Tang Xiaoyan?"

The door opened and they arrived directly at Thunder Island. Sang Tian looked at the dark red sky and felt a strange sense of familiarity, her initial fear gone.

"Xiaoyan and I are at roughly the same level in terms of mental strength, and we entered the island at the same time. There's a 90% chance that, besides, she'll find a way to be assigned to the same group as me."

Sang Tian thought of Tang Xiaoyan's cheat code and felt there was no need to worry.

The two agreed to meet at the beach. Sang Tian's spawn point was in the forest. When they walked out of the forest and headed towards the beach, they saw Tang Xiaoyan and the other two beastmen standing on the beach from a distance.

This was the first time Sang Tian had seen Tang Xiaoyan's beast husbands: an A-level fox beast husband and an S-level tiger beast husband.

Before Sang Tian even got close, Tang Xiaoyan jumped up and down and waved to her.

"Speaking so loudly, aren't you afraid of attracting other beasts?" Bao Zeming and Tang Xiaoyan were sworn enemies, always bickering whenever they met.

Tang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes. "I dare to marry even exotic beasts, why would I be afraid of these small fry?"

"That's true, marrying two exotic beasts at once, you're amazing, from now on you're my sister."

"No way! If I become your sister, wouldn't that be giving you face? I don't want anything to do with you. Doing so would be a stain on my life."

Leopard Zemin was speechless, not expecting Tang Xiaoyan to have made such great progress.

Seeing Bao Zemin get his comeuppance, Tang Xiaoyan felt incredibly pleased, as this was the result of her all-night study sessions.

"It's just a polite remark, yet it's taken you so long to say it. It seems you really care about it," Bao Zemin snorted.

"Bah, shameless."

Tang Xiaoyan was unconvinced. If she hadn't forgotten to bring her shielding device today, she would have definitely released the false news that the system could help with divorces to intimidate Bao Zeming.

Realizing that the topic had gone astray, Tang Xiaoyan quickly steered the conversation back to the main point.

"By the way, Tian Tian, ​​how are we going to get into the sea? This sea is full of high-voltage electricity released by strange beasts, so there's no way to get to the bottom." After Tang Xiaoyan reminded her, Sang Tian belatedly realized that she had forgotten to leave a meeting address with Han Mengyuan last time.

For now, they can only wait on the beach for a while. If all else fails, they can split up. Today is the agreed-upon day, and the two brothers should come out to look for them.

Han Mengyuan's voice drifted into everyone's ears with the sound of the waves.

"You came."

Sang Tian looked in the direction of the sound, and the others did the same. They saw Han Mengyuan emerge from the other side of the forest, this time not at the bottom of the sea.

"These are the people I brought for you. Where is what I asked for?" Sang Tian said this with a tone that resembled that of someone demanding ransom.

Han Mengyuan's gaze shifted to Tang Xiaoyan, who was standing next to Sang Tian.

"A female close to S-class? Are you really that nice?" Han Mengyuan couldn't believe it. He hadn't expected Sang Tian to bring a female who was almost S-class.

"How can you talk like that? Birds of a feather flock together. With my strength, how could I possibly have weakling friends?"

Sang Tian was only focused on getting the crystal core as soon as possible and didn't want to waste any more time talking to Han Mengyuan. She left the rest to Tang Xiaoyan to handle.

Hearing Sang Tian introduce herself like that, Tang Xiaoyan couldn't contain her pride and joy. She straightened her back considerably, feeling a surge of pride in her new friend.
"Alright then." Han Mengyuan suppressed his excitement.

Is your brother still alive?

Three days have passed, during which they have to deal with attacks from the alien beasts at all times. Sang Tian is worried that the two brothers will not be able to withstand it.

"Don't worry, he's alive and well. Since you purified him, his mental strength has recovered from A-level to S-level."

After Han Mengyuan finished speaking, he took out two crystal cores from his pocket and handed them to Sang Tian, ​​saying, "These are the best I could find for what you want."

Sang Tian looked down at the two blue crystal cores lying in his palm. Their quality was impeccable; they were crystal clear and looked like two small water droplets.

"Thank you."

Sang Tian took the blue crystal core, and the moment she touched it, her palm felt a tingling, electric-like sensation.

This feeling only lasted a few seconds.

Just as Han Mengyuan was about to withdraw his hand, a bright green light wrapped around his arm, which then turned into black light a few seconds later.

This scene had just played out three days ago, so Han Mengyuan was no stranger to it.

Sang Tian and Han Mengyuan did not have any physical contact; their hands were positioned one above the other, keeping them parallel.

A few minutes later, the green light disappeared, and the black light was completely purified by the green light.

Only then did Han Mengyuan understand the feeling of lightness his elder brother had mentioned. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Sang Tian with gratitude.

"Okay, thank you for helping me find the blue crystal core."

Sang Tian carefully put away the blue crystal core. If the two brothers hadn't kidnapped her, it might have taken them a while to find her. Besides, these two might even be able to help Tang Xiaoyan.

Han Mengyuan stared in amazement at his hands, silently marveling at the changes in his body.

Since entering Thunder Island requires staying for a full thirty minutes, Sang Tian could only take Bao Zeming and Bi Jingyan to other places to hunt exotic beasts and increase their spiritual power, wisely leaving the space to Han Mengyuan and Tang Xiaoyan.

Han Mengshen arrived late, bearing minor injuries, and bumped into Sang Tian.

Just as Sang Tian was about to play the good guy and point him in the right direction, Han Mengshen's serious expression and the words he uttered stunned the three of them.

"You need to get off Thunder Island quickly. For some reason, the monsters on the island have gone wrong. A large number of B- and C-level monsters have increased in strength and are completely out of control. If you don't leave soon, you will be in danger."
