Blyber nearly cried out, but he reacted quickly enough, driving the "Black Butcher's Tooth" aside just in time to narrowly avoid a collision with the "Ice Snow Wolf Bear"!

Though it was a near miss, Blyber broke out in a cold sweat! He still couldn't fathom what had just happened. Didn't the "Ice Snow Wolf Bear" have a weakness in its slow speed? How did it suddenly appear right in front of him? What exactly transpired moments ago?

His not seeing what happened did not mean everyone else was blind; at least Bennett, the patriarch of the "Tilarry Family," clearly witnessed the unbelievable scene just unfolding!

Just as the "Black Butcher's Tooth" soared over the heads of those monstrous beasts, that "Ice Snow Fierce Bear" suddenly exerted force with its feet, leaped into the air, and with a trailing start, landed first to block Blyber's path!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it! An "Ice Snow Wolf Bear" possessing such agile movements—was it truly an "Ice Snow Wolf Bear"? For the first time, Bennett doubted his own understanding!

At this moment, the "Ice Snow Wolf Bear" merely stood there, showing no intention of attacking. If it had wished, it could have followed through right then to strike both Blyber and his son, or unleash an ice-elemental magic spell!

The current Blyber dared not move rashly, his eyes vigilantly fixed on the "Ice Snow Wolf Bear." Though its expression appeared calm, his inner tension was soaring!

A brief standoff ensued, the atmosphere becoming exceptionally heavy. In this short span, Bennett had learned the basic sequence of events from a nearby guard; he hadn't expected so many formidable magical beasts to actually be summoned by these two strangers!

Who were they? They clearly weren't from our "Beast Tamer Clan," so how could they command so many magical beasts? "My two friends, might you grant this old man a moment to speak!" Bennett suddenly announced. Before the situation escalated further, he had to resolve the crisis, or the consequences would be unthinkable! "What do you wish to say?" As Zhong Shenxiu's words settled, the circle of surrounding beasts suddenly parted, creating a pathway, and Zhong Shenxiu and Robin slowly emerged. "It is my clan's disciples who rashly offended the two of you. Could you, for my sake, let them go? I assure you I will discipline them strictly!" Bennett's face showed genuine sincerity! "Who are you, are you in charge here?" Zhong Shenxiu asked casually. "This old man is merely Bennett, the patriarch of the 'Tilarry Family.' If you two do not mind, perhaps we could discuss this further in private!" Seeing hope for reconciliation, Bennett pressed his advantage immediately.

Following Bennett's earnest pleading, Zhong Shenxiu finally ceased pressuring them and recalled all the magical beasts.

However, as they departed, Zhong Shenxiu couldn't resist adding one last remark: "If you wish to compete, I am available anytime. But next time, things won't be as simple as they are now!"

Watching the receding figures of Zhong Shenxiu and Robin, although Bennett had countless questions churning inside, he could only suppress them forcefully. To have resolved this crisis was fortunate enough; to stir up further trouble now would only lead to regret.

Just as everyone was still absorbing the tension of the recent events, a gasp suddenly escaped Obot's lips.

When everyone turned to him in confusion, he declared with deep vexation, "My... my magical beasts have all been taken by those two!" It turned out that when Robin was gathering the beasts, he had casually included Obot's creatures in the collection as well. ) ) $ $ $ $

When Zhong Shenxiu and Robin returned to the "Dark Merchant Guild," Xia Luo and the others had already arrived back, unaware of the events that transpired at the "Tilarry Family." Even if they knew, they wouldn't be overly surprised!

Since Zhong Shenxiu needed to begin the process of reconstructing Paji's physical body, which would take approximately five to seven days, they would have to remain in the city for the time being.

As they were unwilling to spend their days cooped up in the Guild, shopping became the perfect way to pass the time! Women had things to buy, and men had things to buy; it wasn't boring at all.

Time flew quickly, and two days had already vanished. On this particular morning, Tiya and Niuniu were strolling through the bustling streets. Although only the two of them were out this time, given their strength, they had no need to worry about encountering trouble or pickpockets.

The direction they were heading was none other than the largest magical beast shop in Gold Harvest City—the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop"!

It turned out that the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop" was an asset of the "Tilarry Family," boasting a history spanning over a hundred years, making it a venerable establishment! Throughout the entire "Autumn Cloud Empire," it could be considered the most authoritative beast shop, not only because of the comprehensive collection of beasts but also because of their rarity. Naturally, their after-sales service was also top-notch!

The reason Tiya and Niuniu sought out the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop" was a flyer they spotted on the street, detailing some introductions and information about the shop, along with advertisements for several of the current best-selling magical beasts!

Among these were several exceptionally cute, small magical beasts that were particularly popular with women! Tiya and Niuniu were truly drawn in by the beast introductions on the flyer and decided to go take a look. After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached the location indicated on the advertisement.

At the same time, they beheld the magnificent architecture of the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop," finding it in no way inferior to the "Dark Merchant Guild"—no wonder the flyer claimed that reaching this location meant you had found the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop"!

Glancing over, they could see a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the shop; business seemed quite brisk!

When Tiya and Niuniu saw a girl walking out, holding a cute, ball-like magical beast in her arms, their eyes immediately shone with a fervent light.

"Niuniu, let's go!" Tiya was already growing impatient!

Although she possessed quite a few magical beasts, they were all creatures of formidable power. While a few were admittedly beautiful, none compared to the sheer cuteness of the beast the girl was holding! Regarding cute things, Tiya and Niuniu shared the same lack of resistance!

Upon entering the shop, the two immediately became disoriented. The main hall was surrounded by numerous small passages, each leading to a different purchasing area, and the styles of beasts available in those different areas were vastly dissimilar!

Some people purchased beasts to pursue strength, while others bought them for aesthetic appeal, and still others had specific requirements regarding the beasts' attributes. To facilitate consumers' comparative shopping, everything here was categorized by type!

"Sister Tiya, which way should we go?" Niuniu asked, feeling lost.

"Don't worry, just follow your sister!" Tiya said, though in truth, she didn't know where to go either.

Just as the two were looking around uncertainly, a female attendant approached them with a gentle smile and politely inquired, "May I assist you with anything?"

Seeing this attendant, Tiya felt as if she had seen a savior and immediately smiled, saying, "Sister, we would like to see the type of magical beast introduced on the advertisement!" As she spoke, she pointed to the single on the flyer. "That is the 'Qiu Kalou Beast.' You need to proceed up the passage straight ahead; the top floor is where they are!" The attendant also pointed with her finger. "Thank you, Sister!" Tiya finished, then grabbed Niuniu and dashed towards the passage entrance like a gust of wind, looking as eager as if they would miss out if they were a moment late. ) ) $ $ $ $

Obot's mood today was much better than the previous two days, but he still hadn't fully recovered from the sorrow of losing his magical beasts.

Those beasts had been nurtured by him since childhood, and he had developed a certain affection for them; losing them now was genuinely painful!

But no matter what, he brought it upon himself. If he hadn't deliberately blocked those two people, none of the subsequent events would have occurred, and he wouldn't have lost the beasts that had been with him for so many years! Alas, thinking about it now was useless! Obot didn't even know the names or addresses of the other party, which was the most frustrating part!

That day, persuaded by his father, he finally left his room and headed towards the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop"!

Since his magical beasts were gone, he would have to find a new batch! For a Beast Tamer, being without magical beasts was a cause for ridicule from others!

The "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop" was an industry owned by their "Tilarry Family," and he was the most favored descendant. Regardless of which beast he chose, there would be no issue, provided he could control it—that was the promise his great-grandfather had made him.

Upon arriving at the "Thousand Beast Convergence Beast Shop," people immediately came forward to greet him, but Obot was in a poor mood and ignored them entirely, heading straight for the passage leading to the highest-tier magical beasts.

It should be noted that the display area for the highest-tier beasts was located one level below the best-selling beasts. The reason for this arrangement was consideration for wealthy nobles who, while purchasing best-sellers, would also acquire some higher-grade beasts!

Obot walked upward slowly, his mind still lingering on the events of that day, and the image of that ethereal young girl frequently surfaced! He wondered now what would happen if he encountered that young girl again? Should he flee or approach her?

Obot still didn't have a definitive answer to this question because no hypothetical scenario could compare to reality! As he was lost in thought, a clear burst of laughter interrupted his contemplation. "Niuniu, look quickly, how adorable! It's even licking my finger, hehe~" Tiya said to Niuniu while playfully teasing the newly purchased "Qiu Kalou Beast." At that moment, Niuniu was holding a "Qiu Kalou Beast" of the same size as herself!

Hearing that melodious sound, Obot instinctively looked up, and when he saw Tiya and Niuniu walking down, he froze... F
