Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 674 - 669: Talks between Two Seas
Chapter 674: Chapter 669: Talks between Two Seas
Deep Sea Alliance.
Crystal Palace.
A luxurious suite.
Bai Qi set aside the shield in his hand and removed his mask.
“Yita, are you sure the abilities of this Wheel of Destiny are entirely random? Why do I only end up with these three no matter how many times I spin?”
After the discussion had ended, Bai Qi had returned to his designated room to rest. He had just formed a pact with a new pet beast and was certainly restless, spending the entire night studying the Wheel of Destiny.
...
No matter how many times he tried, the same three abilities kept coming back.
Number 4: Lord Spear
Number 5: Wildwood Shield
Number 6: White Jade Slip
The Lord Spear allowed Bai Qi to master formidable melee abilities and also provided pretty decent defense, making it a comprehensive ability.
Each set of characters on the White Jade Slip had different effects like attacking and teleporting. It was a classic mage configuration with explosive output.
As for the newest Wildwood Shield, it didn’t have a counterattack ability like a Thorn Aura, but its defense was excessive.
The abilities associated with these three codes were balanced in both offense and defense. Bai Qi had no complaints but was itching to know the capacities corresponding to the other codes.
“Hehehe….. I’m sorry, master. The effects of the Wheel of Destiny can only be triggered by the owner. I don’t know what abilities would appear before its first use~”
The still-masked absurd clown looked at Bai Qi and said with a smile, “It seems that the fated moment hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Alright~”
Upon hearing the description by the Absurd Clown, Bai Qi could only temporarily let it pass.
He had already fulfilled his specific purpose of choosing a creature from the Equipment System. He even exceeded a bit, but the remaining six abilities had to be kept aside for a future encounter.
“Three weapons combined with an absurd game. I’m quite strong now, aren’t I~”
Bai Qi looked at the mask in his hand and grinned.
Throughout the night, apart from exploring the abilities of the Wheel of Destiny’s codes, he had also tried to use other skills under his masked state and had been quite successful.
In other words, he could now engage in a duel, just like Huangfu Wujiu and others.
“But an absurd game is only suitable to use when alone; otherwise, it’s very easy to accidentally injure teammates.”
Bai Qi stroked his chin and thought, “No, it would be better to have Alpha and the others become familiar with the rules of a few common games in advance. It will prevent them from being overwhelmed when unexpected situations arise.”
“Hehehe….. I will follow your instructions, Master.”
The Absurd Clown flew out of the Bai Qi’s hand and transformed into an elf, landing on Bai Qi’s shoulder.
“Let’s go and see if Zhuge Chen and the others are awake yet, and talk to the Nether Sea Thunder Flood Dragon and others about Candle Dragon’s heritage.”
The main objective of coming here was already accomplished; the rest was to have Delta accept the next phase of Candle Dragon’s legacy.
Bai Qi was well aware of the Power of Space’s strength, especially after witnessing the effect of the Void Hunter, Bai Qi was becoming more intrigued by the Power of Time.
As Bai Qi left his room and was about to find the Nether Sea Thunder Flood Dragon, he saw that the Thirteen Protectors were hastily heading toward him.
“Big brother, you are awake? Great, we were about to go find you.”
Ming Dian arrived in front of Bai Qi and said, “The West Sea has sent a representative over, asking to discuss the Icefoot Sea Lice King.”
“The West Sea? Are they here to demand something directly?”
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. The seas were known to be disjointed, and now for the sake of the Icefoot Sea Lice King, they were making a direct appeal. It seemed that the influence of the Icefoot Sea Lice King was indeed significant.
“Yes, but it seems they’re not here entirely to demand something.”
Ming Dian thought for a moment and said, “Besides sea beasts, they have brought some strange people over.”
“Strange people?”
Bai Qi was slightly puzzled and followed Ming Dian and others into the hall.
At that time, in the hall, Xiao Mu was sitting both the main seats, and beside him were twelve Legendary Sea Beasts.
As a council member of the Deep Sea Alliance, Xiao Mu’s status was naturally higher than that of the twelve Legendary Sea Beasts, so this arrangement was justified.
However, this arrangement didn’t sit well with the sea-beasts who were guests in the hall.
“Humph! You’re so subservient to humans; the South Sea has indeed degenerated!”
A figure resembling both a tiger and a whale expressed disdain. Their voice echoed, “What a Great Sea Alliance, a bunch of cowards, you’d better all join us in the West Sea, and I will protect you!”
“Ha~ The Federation and the South Sea are only in a cooperative relationship. There’s no question of being subservient.”
The twelve Legendary Sea Beasts were apparently displeased, but Xiao Mu remained quite calm. He said, “Also, I don’t think you should worry about protecting us; you should first think about self-preservation~”
“Do you want to die!”
A flash of murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the Tiger Whale. Its body which had been resized to the size of a human began to swell, clearly indicating an intention to fight.
“Blast Tiger Whale, stand down.”
Just then, a creature resembling a dolphin spoke up, “We did not come here to stir up strife today, we came to negotiate.”
“Humph!”
The tiger whale seemed to be somewhat annoyed by this but still sat back down reluctantly.
“Sorry, because the Icefoot Sea Lice King was captured, his mood is a bit off, please forgive him.”
The Ultrasonic Dolphin looked at Xiao Mu with slight apology, “Can we see the Icefoot Sea Lice King first?”
“Of course, we never intended to give the Icefoot Sea Lice King a hard time in the first place.”
Xiao Mu nodded slightly, and subsequently a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals brought up the Icefoot Sea Lice King.
Admittedly, the Icefoot Sea Lice King’s vitality was indeed strong, his condition improved significantly overnight.
After seeing the Icefoot Sea Lice King, the faces of the West Sea Legendary Sea Beasts, including the Blast Tiger Whale, brightened noticeably.
Although they had other motives for coming here, ensuring the safety of the Icefoot Sea Lice King was vitally important.
“Ultrasonic Dolphin? You guys are all here? Did you come to save me?”
Seeing so many people from the West Sea, the Icefoot Sea Lice King’s previously doomed plans sprang back to life, as he began to devise other strategies.
“We could say that, and also to take this opportunity to discuss matters between the West Sea and South Sea.”
The Ultrasonic Dolphin smiled and said.
“Discuss? What is there to…”
The Icefoot Sea Lice King was confused about this, but before he could finish, he saw Bai Qi come over, led by the Thirteen Protectors.
“Ahem… indeed, we should have a good talk. It will be beneficial to both of our sea territories.”
The Icefoot Sea Lice King quickly changed his tone and obediently stood aside. His cautious demeanor left the Blast Tiger Whale utterly perplexed.
“Why the change? I recall that you were initially the most opposed to joining the Deep Sea Alliance.”
“One’s thoughts can change, don’t always limit yourself to the past.”
The Icefoot Sea Lice King hesitated, not saying much.
A good beating speaks louder than a thousand words; these guys would understand when the time came.
“Quite the grand gathering.”
Bai Qi walked into the hall, looking somewhat surprised at the ten sea beasts in the guest seats and several figures covered with cloaks.
He initially thought that the South Sea’s lineup was luxurious enough, but the West Sea’s was even more extravagant. Several legendary beasts had died, yet there were still so many.
But those cloaked individuals felt somewhat familiar. Could they be the strange people mentioned by Ming Dian?
“Zhuge Chen, where are you now?”
Bai Qi did not interrupt the ongoing conversation. After nodding to Xiao Mu, he walked to the back seat and started chatting with Zhuge Chen.
“They should be here from the West Sea to ransom the hostage and also discuss cooperation, I suppose.”
Zhuge Chen shrugged, “The intentions of these sea beasts are too obvious. They’re simply no match for Xiao Chuanqi.”
“As you would expect.”
Bai Qi smiled. Xiao Mu had single-handedly faced the Thirteen Legendary Sea Beasts, manipulating them with ease. He now had home-field advantage, so playing with these Western Sea Legendary Sea Beasts should be effortless.
Indeed, even though the Ultrasonic Dolphin was reasonably intelligent and had lived much longer than Xiao Mu, he quickly lost control of the rhythm due to his different background.

Seeing how Xiao Mu had not actively begun discussing collaboration, the Ultrasonic Dolphin finally couldn’t hold back and initiated the conversation.
“Due to the conflicts between our several territories, many sea beasts have been killed or injured. Our main purpose for this visit is to discuss this issue properly.”
Xiao Mu smiled slightly and said, “I am sorry, but I need to correct your words. It’s not conflicts between territories, but you guys coming here to hurt our sea beasts.”
As he spoke, Xiao Mu glanced at the Icefoot Sea Lice King next to him, his implication clear.
Even earlier, Xiao Mu had warned the South Sea sea beasts not to cross into other territories in pursuit. The purpose was just for this day. He did not expect the Icefoot Sea Lice King to venture deep into the South Sea to attack the Thirteen Protectors, only to be captured by Bai Qi.
However, this unexpected turn had given him even greater control. Now that the West Sea wanted to talk, it was basically a waste of time for them.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Mu’s words, the Ultrasonic Dolphin was momentarily speechless and only managed to speak after a lengthy pause, “I apologize, this was indeed our fault, and I apologize to you.”
“No need for apologies, after all, I am not the injured party and can’t decide for others.”
Xiao Mu shook his head, “If it were a conflict within our group, I, as a councilor, could mediate. Now, you guys will have to sort it out yourselves.”
Hearing Xiao Mu’s words, the Ultrasonic Dolphin instantly understood. He pondered for a moment before saying, “In that case, let’s call the injured party here. If we can’t agree, then we’ll trouble Councilor Xiao to help. Is that acceptable?”
“Of course.”
Upon hearing the Ultrasonic Dolphin falling into his trap smoothly, Xiao Mu showed a warm smile. He then beckoned Bai Qi, “Bai Qi, it’s your turn now. Remember to ‘properly’ negotiate with them, and don’t go ‘too’ far, understood?”
“Understood.”
Bai Qi, who was idling with Zhuge Chen, was initially puzzled when he heard Xiao Mu’s call, but he quickly figured it out after seeing Xiao Mu’s knowing expression.
They want to negotiate? Fine, just show some sincerity.
As for how much, at least enough to help him repair the Secret Realm Tower, right?
