Zhan Pinting blushed furiously in embarrassment and frustration, and quickly threw herself forward, forming a heated argument with He Xiangming after only a few exchange of words.
He Xiangming just chuckled and watched the scene unfold.
Even though both women were younger than she was, their powerful and influential backgrounds meant she could not afford to offend either of them. The only reason they seemed amicable was because they both sought high-grade spirit beasts from her; it was a relationship of convenience.
Beyond that, He Xiangming did not presume that she was entitled to an equal footing with them.
Both women came from two influential families within Five Lakes under the Moon and belonged to different factions.
In terms of faction hierarchy, they were significantly higher than the Beast Taming Sect, surpassing it by a substantial rank.
The reason they sought out He Xiangming was, of course, for her pampered beasts.
“Sister He, have you found the flying pet that I requested?”
The lady in white, Jiang Zhongxue, asked, “I wanted a young, cute one that hasn’t recognised an owner yet. It should be able to fight alongside me, grow up with me, and play with me. It should also be powerful and have high potential. Have you found a flying spirit beast that meets these requirements?”
On the other side, the lady in black, Zhan Pinting, showed a hopeful look in her eyes, “Me too, me too. I’ve been searching for several years. Whatever I’ve found so far hasn’t met my expectations.”
It was clear that her demands were similar to Jiang Zhongxue’s, and an air of rivalry wafted between them.
He Xiangming forcefully suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. Though she didn’t express this in her actions, she was ridiculing them in her heart.
Just listen to their outrageous requests.
Youth, cuteness, ownerless, a companion for growth, fun, great power, high potential, and must be able to fly…
Are these requirements something a normal person would come up with and demand to one’s face?!
“Since both of you come from distinguished backgrounds with broad horizons, you should understand. As for your requests, I’m sorry but I really don’t think I can fulfill them. Just looking at the high-grade criteria alone, it already seems impossible. If you are insistent, I can suggest a way: You can ask the Heavenly Level experts from your own sects to hunt for them. But trying to find such beasts in the marketplace… that’s simply impossible.”
He Xiangming sighed, her voice full of helplessness.
Zhan Pinting also sighed, “If we could ask Heavenly Level experts to search for us, would we need to search for so long? Besides, those Heavenly Level old geezers… sigh, I’m scared just thinking about speaking to them, let alone asking them to catch demon beasts.”
Jiang Zhongxue added, “True. All those Heavenly Level experts are a bunch of old men. For beautiful young girls like us, we’re practically invisible to them. We might as well be bone sticks; absolutely nothing of interest. If beauty were effective, I would have already sent a bunch of them to capture demon beasts…”
Zhan Pinting and He Xiangming rolled their eyes in unison.
Dammit. This girl can’t keep herself on topic, can she? Speaking without a filter, is that really okay?
However, both women understood that despite Jiang Zhongxue’s lack of tact, her real-life experiences were limited to her outspokenness.
“So what did you call us here for, Sister He?” Zhan Pinting asked.
“I’ve found two exceptional potential pets. Of course, I’d have to share this with you two.”
He Xiangming’s face took on a mysterious smile, “The question is, will you like them?”
“What kind of pets?”
“What level are they?”
Both women asked at the same time.
“Fourth Rank.” He Xiangming replied with a smile.
“Fourth Rank…”
Both women heaved a sigh and lounged back on their chairs, spreading their long and smooth legs out. They appeared to be gasping for breath, totally dispirited.
“Just Fourth Rank… why would you call us here… ”
Their words started and ended together, in perfect harmony as if they were twin sisters.

“If it’s just an ordinary Fourth Rank, naturally it wouldn’t be worth your time. But what if it’s a Fourth Rank king?” He Xiangming asked.
“A Fourth Rank King? Their overall potential is only comparable to a Fifth Rank at its peak, or at the very least a Sixth Rank. However, it’s generally understood that anything below Sixth Rank can, at best, be considered a leader, but not a king.” Zhan Pinting explained.
“Exactly, what’s a king without a harem, sleeping with different women every night?” The one who could make such a comment was, of course, Jiang Zhongxue.
“So you’re saying, if it’s a Sixth Rank king, you’d be happy?”
“Of course, we’d be delighted!” Jiang Zhongxue replied, her eyes alight.
“The two great beast prospects that I mentioned are flying pets with incredible potential. Based on my experience from all these years in the pet trading industry and as one of the top ten disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, I can tell that even though these two small creatures come from a slightly lower bloodline and are insufficiently ranked, they have the potential to break free from their bloodline constraints in the future.”
He Xiangming continued, “You should understand what this means.”
“Bloodline mutation, combat at higher levels, chasing wind and catching lightning, a natural overlord!” Zhan Pinting said with a lack of energy, “We understand this part. If there really is such a thing, whether it’s Fourth Rank or even Third Rank, I’d gladly take it. Who doesn’t want to replicate the legendary tale of the Green Emperor!”
The Green Emperor!
That was a forbidden legend within the demon race.
In the past, the Green Emperor was nothing more than a common second-rank Green Wolf. But after being adopted by a human, the wolf showed outstanding strengths and talents step by step.
The person who adopted the Green Emperor was none other than the great revered Qing Ming from the Qin country.
At the time, it was nothing more than a moment of compassion, adopting a dying wolf pup. But when this wolf pup eventually matured, it began to set itself apart. Astonishingly, it appeared it could evolve autonomously following its unique bloodline.
Wherever it went, all beasts would bow down in submission.
There was undeniably a vast amount of resources provided and nurtured by the Great Master Qing Ming involved. But the key was the capacity of the Demon Beast to surpass its ranks, thus transforming it into a legend.
The Great Master Qing Ming, then at the pinnacle of the Human Tier, inadvertently fell into a trap and was besieged by a wave of Demon Beasts.
It was said at that time that the entirety of the vast wilderness was filled to the brim with Demon Beasts. They swarmed and attacked relentlessly, proving futile to all efforts of extermination.
Even a powerful entity like the Great Master Qing Ming gradually began to falter, finding himself in an increasingly perilous situation.
Just as Great Master Qing Ming was running out of steam and on the brink of death, the Green Emperor, charged in, bravely engaging in brutal battles. Traversing through combat, he continuously broke through the ranks. Eventually, no challenger could stand against him.
Even those mightily fearsome Ninth Rank Demon Beasts were bitten to death by the Green Emperor.
At the end of the battle, the Green Emperor, likewise covered in injuries, let out a long howl at the peak of a mountain that shook the heavens.
Then, all beasts retreated like a receding tide!
This was due to the restraint held by high-grade Demon Beasts over lower-ranked ones. It stemmed from this basic principle, breaking the siege of the beast tide!
Following that battle, the Green Emperor constantly surpassed the limits of his bloodline rank, closely following the footsteps of the Great Master Qing Ming. A man and a beast, laughing in the face of danger, wandering the world diagonally across, and continuing the legend.
Even when face to face with the Demon Emperor, the Green Emperor never backed down.
To this day, the Green Emperor remains the most capable battle assistant of the Great Master Qing Ming!
The legend of the Green Emperor continues to be renowned till this day, already commonly known to everyone.
He Xiangming spoke with a faint tone, “The two Fourth Rankers I mentioned may not have achievements comparable to the Green Emperor of that time, but what they lack… is not their potential. They merely lack the cultivation from the Great Master Qing Ming.”
Jiang Zhongxue and Zhan Pinting’s breaths simultaneously became unstable.
“Are they that good?”
Zhan Pinting swiftly grabbed He Xiangming’s hand.
“Whether they’re that good or not, why don’t the powerful of you, Five Lakes Bright Moon, try using the bloodline ring on the Demon Beast? Test it and everything will be clear, right?”
He Xiangming laughed.
Bloodline ring.
This thing was a disappointment.
This thing could only test a beast’s potential for growth beyond its rank but not its bloodline capabilities.
“Did you bring your bloodline ring?” Jiang Zhongxue asked Zhan Pinting immediately.
“Of course, I did!”
Zhan Pinting grumbled in a rather bad mood, “When selecting a pet beast, you must carry it. Even though it may seem ineffective, the important thing is its real function. What if you encounter a beast whose bloodline can mutate? Don’t tell me you didn’t bring it?”
Jiang Zhongxue’s face turned somewhat awkward, “I was studying something when I left home…”
Zhan Pinting mercilessly replied, “Were you researching the human anatomy?”
“Pervert!” Jiang Zhongxue shouted with a flushed face, “I’m not that kind of person… Give me a bloodline ring!”
He Xiangming laughed on the side, but her gaze seemed a bit dubious.
She was prepared with the bloodline ring.
But it was clear that these two people would not use her prepared bloodline ring.
Because they were afraid of her faking it, after all, she was the seller.
Even though it’s business, this made it evident that their sisterhood didn’t hold much substance…
“Sister He, where are those two young beasts?”
Jiang Zhongxue, holding the bloodline ring, was very enthusiastic, “We need to hurry up so they aren’t snatched up by someone else. That would be a missed opportunity.”
“Shouldn’t be a problem, those two beast pets were secretly bred by us, currently only I know about them, it seems fate is tying us together, it’s your lucky day.”
He Xiangming gave a faint smile with a hint of superiority.
“When are we going?” Both women could not help urging upon hearing this.
“Tonight, “He Xiangming said, “I would need to transfer them over first. Remember, after using the bloodline ring for testing, you’re not obligated to buy. But if satisfied, the price will be high. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you before slapping you with a high price.”
She sighed and said, “These are secretly bred by us, and presently only the two of you sisters know about this. This opportunity is unusually rare, you both have been approaching me for quite some time now and haven’t really found anything satisfactory for a long time… so…”
