Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 141 I'll be envious of you from now on!

Qin Ruyue gave Fu Hongning a somewhat amused look.

If Fu Hongning knew that he was the one who kidnapped Zhong Yi yesterday, I wonder what he would think.

Qin Ruyue didn't feel much guilt towards Hong Ning.

Both of Fu Hongning's beasts were injured by Shi Mi; he only injured the natal beast of the guy who had just driven the chariot.

Having witnessed Zhong Yi's healing abilities, Qin Ruyue vaguely guessed why Zhong Yi had personally come to the Rare Insect Merchant Guild.

The person I'll follow in the future is so kind to a stranger who helped me.

How could someone like myself, one of our own, be any worse?

"Lord Zhongyi, this place is crowded and noisy, with many guests coming and going."

"Please follow me to the VIP room on the top floor. My wife has prepared tea and snacks."

"I've also deliberately identified several kinds of insect-like creatures; please take a look, sir."

"If you are interested in any of the insect-like creatures, feel free to take them with you."

Yesterday at the exotic animal park, Fu Hongning learned about Zhong Yi's interests.

Several exotic beasts that Fu Hongning didn't think much of were bought by Zhong Yi.

At the Senhe Trading Company's Beast Garden, Zhong Yi bought a total of three beasts.

Fu Hongning was very confident that Zhongyi would be interested in the several exotic beasts he had prepared.

Although Fu Wei had low emotional intelligence, he was well aware of the benefits of befriending a chosen one of his own age. However, the thought of his father's two beasts made Fu Wei feel listless.

In Fu Wei's heart, the development of the Rare Insect Merchant Guild could not compare to his father's achievements as a beast tamer.

With the resources provided by the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce, his father will be able to advance further sooner or later.

Among the established powers, the Rare Insect Merchant Guild has a rich history.

However, compared to those top-tier forces, the Rare Insect Merchant Guild's foundation is somewhat lacking.

Because among the core figures of the Rare Insect Merchant Guild, there are no experts above the Mythical Rank.

Even though he felt uncomfortable, Fu Wei still forced a warm greeting to Zhong Yi and Xu Anjun.

Fu Wei's facial expressions were poorly controlled, unaware that Xu Anjun, Sun Shiyu, Qin Ruyue, and Zhong Yi could all sense Fu Wei's true state and emotions.

Fu Hongning had talked to Fu Wei for several hours last night, and now he sees Fu Wei behaving like this.

For the first time, Fu Hongning felt that Fu Weisheng was utterly hopeless.

I wanted to slap Fu Wei!

She brought Fu Wei to meet Zhong Yi in the hope that Fu Wei and Zhong Yi could get to know each other.

Even if we can't be friends, we can still talk to each other.

This isn't a place for Fu Wei to put on a two-faced act!

Just as Fu Hongning was about to remind Fu Wei, Zhongyi said.

"President Fu, your son certainly has a true character."

"By the way, President Fu, are your two tamed beasts still stored in your soul base?"

I prefer people who only care about personal relationships and worldly affairs for the sake of profit.

I like people like Fu Wei who are genuine, because I like to be like him too.

Since Shen Xuan awakened his soul foundation and became a Chosen One, he no longer needed Zhong Yi's protection.

If Zhong Ling and Zhong Chenghuai are bullied outside, it doesn't matter who the bully is or what their status is.

Zhongyi will not let this go!

They would not allow Zhong Ling and Zhong Chenghuai to suffer injustice for the sake of so-called interests.

There are plenty of ways to gain benefits; there's no need to sacrifice one's dignity for them.

Zhong Yi listened to Xu Anjun's account of Fu Hongning's two tamed beasts.

They knew that Fu Hongning's two tamed beasts were either injured in their origin or on the verge of death.

Fu Hongning did this to save his two tamed beasts, which is why they ended up in this state.

It's normal for Fu Wei to have some opinions about himself because he feels sorry for his father.

Fu Hongning, skilled in interpersonal relationships, was momentarily unsure whether Zhong Yi's "true nature" was a righteous statement or an ironic one.

Fu Hongning was far too concerned about Zhong Yi's thoughts.

Established chosen ones all have their own power base and supporters.

Among the new generation of chosen ones in Star City, one comes from the prestigious Bai family.

A city that is not interested in being courted by any power may only produce one or two Chosen Ones every ten years under good fortune.

If I can't make friends with Zhongyi this time, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time having the chance to make friends with someone destined for me in the future.

There are also two new Chosen Ones in Star City: one is a healing-type Chosen One with a potential rating of SSS, and the other is a combat-type Chosen One with a potential rating of SS.

Even if these two were standing right in front of him, Fu Hongning wouldn't dare to try to win them over, after all, the Rare Insect Merchant Guild was just an old, established force.

"Lord Zhongyi, both of my tamed beasts are being nurtured in the Soul Foundation."

"You don't need to worry about my beast's injuries; it's all worth it for your safety."

"My strength is still too poor. If I could join forces with Lieutenant Xu to hold out for another minute or two, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Last night, when Xu Anjun arrived at the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce, she gave Fu Hongning a gag order.

Tell Fu Hongning, one of the participants, not to reveal that Zhong Yi was being held hostage.

This makes Fu Hongning speak in a very subtle and reserved way now.

Fu Hongning's words made Qin Ruyue roll her eyes subconsciously.

Hmph, if you were any stronger, neither I nor that idiot Shi Mi would have been able to hold the young master hostage.

Wouldn't that be tantamount to cutting off my chance?

If the kidnapping is unsuccessful, let alone whether they can leave Star City smoothly.

Even if they leave, the New Summer Federation will definitely hold the Di Yue Sect accountable.

When Lady Weeping Moon found out about this, Qin Ruyue really didn't know how to explain it.

I was the one who started this turmoil in Star City.

It was entirely his own doing to seize the Rule-Binding Embryo, which he had painstakingly obtained through scheming.

Zhong Yi smiled upon hearing this, but didn't say anything more.

"Let's go, Chairman Fu, let's go up first and talk about it then."

We took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce.

The headquarters of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce is located in the central city area. From the top floor, the outline of the Star Frost Tower can be faintly seen in the distance through the window.

This was the first time Tang Yan had met Zhong Yi. She bowed respectfully to greet him.

Tang Yan saw Sun Yushi standing behind Zhong Yi.

Tang Yan asked in surprise, as if she had seen an old friend.

"Brother Sun, what are you doing here?"

"We haven't seen each other for more than half a year."

The Star Army has its own military dependents' compound.

In the southern part of the Upper City, there is a large area specifically for the Star Army and their families to live in.

Tang Yan and Sun Yushi used to live in the same military family compound, and their families lived very close to each other.

Because the two are close in age, they can be considered playmates who can get along well.

Sun Yushi was outstanding from a young age and was always the "other people's child" that adults talked about.

He was admitted to Starlight Academy with top marks from the Starlight Preparatory Academy, where the children of the Starlight Army studied.

After that, Tang Yan and Sun Yushi rarely saw each other.

Tang Yan married Fu Hongning and they live a happy life.

However, Sun Yushi's wife heroically sacrificed her life during the mission.

Tang Yan heard that Sun Yushi had been depressed for many years, and the last time she saw Sun Yushi was at a banquet hosted by her grandfather.

When his father first met Sun Yushi, he treated Sun Yushi with great respect.

Tang Yan learned that Sun Yushi was already working in the special operations department of the Star Army, and was an imperial envoy who only received orders from the most core high-level officials.

Sun Yushi was not surprised to meet Tang Yan.

Knowing that the trip was to the headquarters of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce, Sun Yushi foresaw that he would likely meet Tang Yan, the president's wife.

"I am Lord Zhongyi's bodyguard, responsible for protecting Lord Zhongyi's safety."

After saying that, Sun Yushi didn't say anything more to Tang Yan.

Sun Yushi's words stirred up a storm in Tang Yan's heart.

What?!

Given Sun Yushi's status, it's astonishing that he would assign a combat-type Chosen One with an S-level potential rating as his bodyguard.

This is a huge discrepancy from Tang Yan's understanding.

Even if Star City values ​​the Chosen One highly, it has plenty of guards to choose from.

It shouldn't be Sun Yushi, who is in the Special Operations Department of the Star Army, who is acting as the bodyguard.

Did Sun Yushi do something wrong and get punished?

Just as Fu Hongning was about to invite Zhong Yi to sit down and wanted to personally brew tea for her, Zhong Yi suddenly spoke up.

"President Fu, I heard from Brother Xu that your two beasts are seriously injured."

"Summon your two beasts, and I'll see if I can heal them."

Zhongyi's words warmed the hearts of Fu Hongning, Tang Yan, and Fu Wei.

Yesterday, Fu Hongning's tamed beast was seriously injured while fighting the strange creature to protect Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi was rescued last night and came straight to the headquarters of the Rare Insect Merchant Guild this morning, wanting to treat Fu Hongning's beast.

After Zhong Yi finished speaking, Fu Wei's resentment dissipated by more than half.

Tang Yan knew that Sun Yushi was not good at healing, and subconsciously thought that the one who was going to heal Fu Hongning's beast was Qin Ruyue, who was standing behind Zhong Yi.

None of Tang Yan, Fu Wei, or Fu Hongning ever imagined that Zhong Yi would be the one to provide treatment.

Instead, Sun Yushi's gaze fell on Zhong Yi without leaving a trace.

I had long heard that Zhongyi was able to heal the injuries of mythical-level beast tamers.

Sun Yushi was filled with anticipation for the healing methods employed by the only healing-type Chosen Ones in the history of the New Xia Federation.

Fu Hongning never mentioned the injuries to his two beasts to Zhong Yi.

Firstly, Fu Hongning knew very well that Xu Anjun would definitely inform Zhongyi about the injuries of his two tamed beasts.

Secondly, Fu Hongning didn't want to play the victim in front of Zhong Yi.

Fu Hongning had no intention of seeking favors in return, and it would be bad if Zhong Yi misunderstood.

But now that Zhongyi has taken the initiative to suggest that I summon the two beasts.

Fu Hongning naturally wouldn't object.

Fu Hongning activated his Soul Foundation, and soon his natal beasts, the Molten Blast Scorpion and the Blood Fang Scorpion, appeared in front of him at the same time.

The molten scorpion's tail was torn off by the roots, and one of its pincers was twisted off in half.

The entire Molten Blast Scorpion is now reduced to just one of its claws, and green insect blood is still oozing from its wound.

The Bloodfang Terror Scorpion appears to be in much better shape than the Molten Blast Terror Scorpion.

However, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the Bloodfang Terror Scorpion had lost much of its vitality.

The scorpion's tail, which should have been raised, lay limply on the ground.

Not long after it was summoned, a pool of dark green blood flowed out from beneath it.

The air was filled with the distinctive, fishy stench of insect blood.

Before Fu Hongning could speak, Zhong Yi had already activated his Soul Foundation and summoned his Order Beast, the Celestial Lord.

Without further ado, Zhong Yi, who summoned the Resurrected Celestial, immediately synchronized the healing of the Molten Blast Scorpion and the Bloodfang Scorpion.

Even if Fu Hongning, Tang Yan, and Fu Wei were foolish at this moment.

They also realized that Zhong Yi was not the S-rank combat-type Chosen One that they had always considered to have potential.

Zhong Yi is actually a healing-type chosen one with an SSS potential rating, but he has never revealed his identity.

The humanoid Order Beast before us, radiating healing power, is no fake.

At this moment, Tang Yan was more concerned about whether Zhong Yi, as a healer, could heal Fu Hongning's two beasts.

Fu Hongning was incredibly excited, overjoyed that he had actually made a connection with this healing-type chosen one.

If Zhong is willing to protect the Rare Insect Merchant Guild, it can smoothly rise from an established force to a top force in less than five years.

And unlike other established powers that have just risen to the top, they will not be ostracized by other top powers.

It is likely that even before the Rare Insect Merchant Guild becomes a top-tier power, many top-tier powers will take the initiative to curry favor with and befriend it.

As the contractor, Fu Hongning could sense that the injuries of the Molten Blast Scorpion and its Bloodfang Scorpion were healing at an extremely fast speed.

The Bloodfang Terror Scorpion's damaged heart was gradually repaired under the healing of this healing-type Order Beast.

In fact, Fu Hongning didn't even need to feel it; anyone present could clearly see the scorpion tail and pincers that the Molten Blast Scorpion had grown.

The Bloodfang Fear Scorpion's heart was leaking blood, and its condition was already very poor before treatment.

However, it was, after all, a peak mythical-level insect-type beast, and insect-type beast tamers were known for their tenacity.

After repairing the scorpion's heart, the Bloodfang Terror Scorpion's life energy was depleted.

However, if fed high-quality food for one to two months, the Bloodfang Terror Scorpion's depleted life energy will be completely replenished.

Because the treatment method of the Rejuvenation Core is to activate the life template within the Beast Tamer's body.

Treating two mythical-level beasts at once wasn't too much of a burden for the Resurrection Lord.

Even Xu Anjun and Qin Ruyue, who had witnessed Zhongyi's treatment before, were once again shocked by what they were seeing.

Moreover, they had never seen Sun Yushi and Fu Hongning, who were fond of treating beast tamers, before.

At this moment, Tang Yan understood why it was Sun Yushi who came to protect Zhong Yi.

"Alright, Chairman Fu, both of your beasts have recovered."

"I have achieved my goal in coming to the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce this time."

"If the Vice President happens to act bravely again and injures a beast, he can come to me for treatment."

Xu Anjun looked at Fu Hongning, whose face was somewhat dazed from the double surprise, and quickly walked forward.

He reached out and patted Fu Hongning on the shoulder, saying with a smile.

"Old Fu, there are probably only a handful of people in our Starry City who can get Lord Zhongyi's promise of treatment."

"I'll be envious of you from now on."
