Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

My dad raised me until I was 6 years old.

"Then he left and never came back."

The little boy's words did not dispel the four people's doubts; instead, they made them even more cautious.

"What about the time? How much longer until the due date?" Chi Hong asked.

The little boy immediately struggled to break free from his mother's arms and ran to a piece of wood on the other side.

The wooden log was covered with some kind of marking, indicating that the little boy was keeping track of the time.

"If we calculate the time I was controlled by the worm..."

"It should take about three to five days!"

The little boy made a rough estimate and gave the time period.

"Alright, everyone vote, should we wait or leave now?" Luo Dongjun asked, but she only looked at Chi Hong.

Chi Hong glanced at the three people, who all seemed to be waiting for his reply.

"it is good."

"Before that, you can wander around a bit more."

"Isn't Shen Yuzhi going to abuse the pet beasts? We can catch one."

Chi Hong nodded, but Shen Yuzhi felt something was off. What happened to the "addressing by job title"?

Why am I the only one who's been using the real-name registration system all along?

However, it's great that Chi Hong is willing to help suppress the rampaging pet beast, but then again, it seems Chi Hong really doesn't know anything about "aura suppression"...

The four rested in the cave for a while. As usual, Ye Rou could take out all sorts of random things, and she also shared some with the little boy.

As for the little boy's mother, the tyrannical pet seemed quite calm, with only her cub in her eyes, completely ignoring Chi Hong and the other three.

Meanwhile, the Red Romantic Bathhouse.

A considerable number of people have already gathered here; they are all from the Beastmaster University in Yanjing City.

"It can be observed that the fluctuations at the forbidden area entrance will reach their peak within the next few hours!"

"I, this old man, will pry open the entrance!"

"You'll all go in then!"

It was the same old man, now with a serious expression, giving instructions to the people behind him.

"Mom, can I not go?"

Chaoxia was among them. She tugged at her mother's sleeve, her face full of embarrassment.

Her mother, Zhou Mei, was a professor at the Beastmaster University in Yanjing City. She had the power and the prestige to send her daughter to the forbidden area.

"What? Are you scared?"

"I heard that your little boyfriend is already among the strongest A-level beast tamers."

"You're even stronger than your eldest sister, aren't you resentful?"

Zhou Mei glanced at her youngest daughter and said in a cold tone.

"What am I? I'm not reconciled?" Zhaoxia pointed to her nose and said nonchalantly, "I don't have that much of a competitive spirit. The better Chi Hong is, the happier I am. Why do I have to compete with him?"

"I know my own limitations very well. I have mediocre talent, but with the financial resources of Chaoyang Group and the strength of Chi Hong, I don't actually need to work hard at all."

As dawn broke, she spread her arms wide, looking as if life were as lonely as snow. On her shoulder, the sea lion Qiuqiu imitated her, spreading out its two little forelimbs as well.

"Morning glow!"

A handsome young man walked over, looking at the sunrise with delight. Then, as if he had just noticed Zhou Mei, he immediately greeted her respectfully, "Aunt Zhou."

"Is he your illegitimate son?" Chaoxia asked her mother, pouting.

"Why do you say that?" Zhou Mei's tone remained calm.

"Everyone calls you Professor Zhou," Zhaoxia replied matter-of-factly. "But he calls you Auntie, so I'm a little suspicious."

"Xu Shan, don't call me that again next time."

"And you, if you don't want to go, then forget it. You're only at B-level strength, going in would just be suicide. Actually, even if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have let you go, because there's no instructor leading the team this time."

Zhou Mei looked at her daughter and explained softly.

"That's right, Chaoxia. Only six outsiders can enter the forbidden area. If there are more, it could easily trigger a chain reaction of violence."

"In order to give more students the experience, we will not have a teacher to lead the team this time. Only the six of us will go in."

The young man named Xu Shan explained with a smile, while giving Chaoxia what he thought was a very handsome smile, making Chaoxia want to punch him!

"That's suicide."

"Professor Cai is acting recklessly."

"We haven't been here today, Chaoxia, let's go back."

Zhou Mei frowned, sensing that things were definitely not that simple, and prepared to leave with Chaoxia.

Seeing that Chaoxia was about to leave, Xu Shan's expression changed, and he immediately said, "It's alright, Professor Zhou. The aura of the forbidden area this time is very weak, and it's definitely not a particularly dangerous place."

"Chaoxia can come along too. As a beast tamer who's about to surpass A-rank, I'll protect her well!"

"I don't need your protection!" Zhaoxia's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. Ever since Chi Hong found out that many people were pursuing her, her way of rejecting others had become a bit more aggressive!

"I have a boyfriend, you really need to stay away from me. He has a terrible temper, and I'm afraid he'll be unhappy if he finds out, and then you'll be in trouble!"

"Heh, I know him." Xu Shan's tone was full of disdain. "He couldn't even get into the Beastmaster University in Yanjing City, what kind of future could he possibly have?"

"Morning Glow, don't let anyone fool you."

"Mom, let's go!" Zhaoxia ignored him and took her mother's arm to leave.

"Aren't you angry about this?" Zhou Mei was a little puzzled. She remembered that her daughter was very protective of Chi Hong. She didn't care, but because of this, Zhao Xia used to argue with her father, Zhao Wen, all the time.

This caused discord between the father and daughter.

What's the point of getting angry?

"If I could beat him, I would have slapped him across the face long ago!"

Chaoxia raised her fist, her face full of disdain.

"Guya! Eeya!!"

The sea lion, Ball Ball, frantically pointed at her head with her two front paws, so anxious that she almost started talking!

She's frantically trying to express one thing!

"Me?! Level up for me!"

"Primarina! Koike said my base stat total is a whopping 530!"

"Me! The power of the Poseidon's Solemn Symphony is a whopping 195!!"

"Why bother with a Fire Wolf?! What a Fire type! That stupid dog's base stats are so low! It's a dead end!!"

"Asaka, you're an idiot!!!"

For some reason, Chaoxia seemed to be in a bad mood after seeing the sea lion, and was ignoring her a bit, like a little girl throwing a tantrum...

Some time after Chaoxia and her daughter left, the fluctuations in the forbidden area began to intensify. Professor Cai, with a face full of excitement, used a device to forcibly open the entrance!

"Let's go!"

Xu Shan, looking smug, led the other five people straight in!

Inside the forbidden area.

"What the hell??"

"Why are so many coming out at once?"

"This looks like... a chain reaction of escalation into violence??"

Shen Yuzhi, who was fiercely fighting a monstrous scorpion, was stunned for a moment. The ground began to shake, a large number of worms crawled out, and even large birds began to appear in the air.

"Someone else has come in."

"It's indeed a chain reaction of tyranny. There's a problem with the entrance. The leader... the leader sees us as too relaxed now and is making things more difficult for us?"

Luo Dongjun pondered.

"Whatever, so be it, let's chain stores then, let's just flash sale!"

"Charizard, Mega Evolution!"

Chi Hong raised his right hand, completely unfazed.

"Okay! Let's flash together with Big Brother!!" Ye Rou was suddenly excited for some reason when she saw Chi Hong's behavior. As for what "flashing together" meant, she didn't really understand.

Meanwhile, inside the spatial rift, the black-faced leader and a pet beast resembling smoke were discussing countermeasures...

He suspected that he had been set up by some being!
