Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1239 - 509: Replicating the Emperor’s Chrysanthemum! The Connor Family’s Deal!
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
A flying vessel, as graceful as the wind and moon, drifted slowly across the sky. It wasn’t particularly fast, but its absolute stability more than made up for it.
This vessel, named the Xiao Yue, now belonged to the Liu family.
However, even as a bona fide Breeding Master and the owner of the Xiao Yue, Liu Fuhai appeared cautious inside the cabin. He had no choice. Despite his current status as a Breeding Master, he was still a junior by more than a generation compared to the old woman sitting before him.
With Master Zhu having stepped out to make a phone call, Liu Fuhai was left alone across from the white-haired old woman.
The old woman glanced at the nervous Liu Fuhai and smiled, speaking in perfectly fluent Dragon Nation language.
"Master Liu, I haven’t yet congratulated you on becoming a Breeding Master recognized by the Dragon Nation. I also want to thank you for your contribution of a Super-Rank Skill to the Pet Beast Breeding Domain! In the future, your name will shine brilliantly on the monuments of the Dragon Nation and even World Breeders."
Although Old Liu felt her words sounded a bit peculiar, he quickly replied with humility.
"Compared to you and your family, I am still but a student. Besides, the origin of my Breeding Master title is largely a stroke of luck, and a significant part of it is due to Su Ping’s help."
Hearing this, a Western girl with matching platinum-blonde hair sitting across from the old woman curled her lips. She clearly didn’t care for the bald old man’s display of modesty. However, upon hearing Su Ping’s name, her eyes lit up, and she looked toward her great-grandmother.
Olivia Connor had clearly also intentionally shifted the conversation to the destination of their trip. That old guy from earlier had been far too tight-lipped, making this the perfect opportunity to pry for information while he was out making a phone call.
"Did Su Ping also contribute to your promotion work?"
At this question, the old woman noticed Old Liu become slightly guarded and hurriedly waved her hand.
"Liu, you don’t need to overthink it. I have no intention of prying into your promotion work. I am simply extremely curious about this rising star—oh, my apologies, this brilliantly shining morning star—in the Breeder world today."
Only then did Liu Fuhai relax a little. No matter her identity, status, or immense influence in the Breeder Domain, there was no denying that she was a Breeder from a foreign land—a potential rival.
Under normal circumstances, Super-Rank Skills—and any brand-new Breeding Skills developed and nurtured—were kept strictly confidential. However, Liu Fuhai could understand the old woman’s intentions.
"No Beastmaster Breeder could learn of Su Ping’s achievements without taking an interest in him. You are not the first, and you certainly won’t be the last."
The old woman expressed complete understanding of Liu Fuhai’s praise.
"Of course. My feelings toward Breeder Su go far beyond mere curiosity; I also hold admiration and astonishment for him. To earn Charles’s approval is enough to prove his Ability.
"At the same time, I am grateful to the Holy Dragon for giving me this chance to visit in person."
A flash of doubt crossed Liu Fuhai’s eyes. He hadn’t let all of this go to his head just yet.
There were many strange things about the situation unfolding before him. Generally speaking, mutual visits and interactions between the Dragon Nation and the Lion Nation were actually quite rare. Even if there were visits, they wouldn’t be like the situation with Olivia Connor right now. Aside from a single attendant, she hadn’t even brought along the two Spirit Saint Level Beastmasters from the Lion Nation who had traveled with them this time.
Most importantly, who was Su Ping? He was currently the absolute treasure of the entire Dragon Nation.
The Heart of Myriad Spirits might make it seem like Su Ping could do whatever he pleased, but in reality, if any suspicious outsiders approached, Meng Yao would sense it immediately. Not to mention the Mad Saint, who was also secretly overseeing the situation—a fact even Liu Fuhai was unaware of.
Rashly allowing a foreign Holy Spirit Level Beastmaster and Breeder Grandmaster to come and make contact with Su Ping was an extremely risky move. Yet, she had still come, and with the approval of the Legend of the Holy Dragon, no less.
This left Liu Fuhai quite puzzled, but he wouldn’t ask too many questions about the affairs of the higher-ups. Ever since he had clung to that brat’s coattails, stumbling and struggling his way to becoming a Breeding Master and barely stepping into the upper echelons, Liu Fuhai knew his mindset needed to adjust accordingly.
"By the way, what research topics has Breeder Su been working on lately? Of course, if it’s inconvenient to disclose, you don’t have to say."
The old woman’s words interrupted Liu Fuhai’s thoughts, and he quickly replied.
"I don’t know the exact details either. Duchess, you don’t know Su Ping. What sets him apart from any other Breeder is that he never rigidly sticks to one research direction for long! In his dictionary, there are always new directions.
"However, recently, I’ve heard rumors from the Imperial Capital Breeder Association that Su Ping seems to be focusing his efforts on the Breeding of Wood Element and Plant System Pet Beasts."
"Oh?"
At these words, Olivia opened her mouth, slightly puzzled but definitely intrigued. However, before she could speak, footsteps approached. Zhu Hong, having finished his phone call, walked back into the cabin from outside.
"What are you chatting about? I’ve already informed Su Ping. We’ve reached the borders of Linzhou. The speed is slowing down; we’ll be at the Heart of Myriad Spirits shortly."
