Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1375 - 563: Country of Ten Thousand Islands! The Golden Association’s Action!

They were crystal clear about all of this.

Because of this, they couldn’t afford to drop the ball.

This Breeder competition had to be executed flawlessly.

At the same time, Su Ping’s participation as a judge was a prearranged commitment.

Time was tight. Today was already December 10th. Heading to the South Sea, the breeding of the Rainbow Dragon, and most importantly, the breeding of the Sea King Yasha Arm—all were on the schedule for this period.

Hearing Su Ping’s concerns, Jiao Ji flashed a smug and confident smile.

"Kid, you severely underestimate the power of a Legendary Level. Don’t think for a second that those so-called Mechanical Pet Beasts you humans created are the only things capable of extreme speed. In the water, on this Blue Star, as long as it is connected by water, absolutely nothing is faster than my main body and me.

"If speed is the only concern, there won’t be a problem at all, unless something else goes wrong."

Such arrogant words finally aligned a bit more with Su Ping’s understanding of a Legendary Level existence.

Because of this, Su Ping nodded. "That’s good! Let’s not waste any time and set off right now! Let me witness your capabilities, Senior!"

"Alright. But don’t you need to inform the others?"

Su Ping thought for a moment and nodded.

...

Just as Su Ping returned to the Heart of Myriad Spirits, only to prepare to leave once again, on the other side of Linzhou, someone else was facing a difficult decision.

In the office of the Pingyun Group.

Dong Muyun frowned deeply.

"My Lord!" she greeted after turning on the electronic screen. Looking at the face in the video call, she felt an indescribable hesitation.

"What’s wrong? I just got back to Su Ping’s side, and something has already happened on your end?"

Dong Muyun’s brow instantly smoothed out. "Su Ping is back too? Is he okay?"

Wu Kuang chuckled lightly. "Heh, ’okay’ doesn’t even begin to cover it. He couldn’t be better. He has now become the youngest Emperor Level Beastmaster in nearly a century!

"At the same time, the Pet Beast he commands possesses Spirit Saint Level combat power. Not only that, but the Holy Dragon has officially appointed him as the Vice President of the Beastmaster Association! And it’s the kind of Vice President with overarching authority over everything!

"From now on, theoretically speaking, even I have to follow that kid’s orders. So you tell me, is he okay?"

"Huh?"

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Dong Muyun never expected the news to be so exaggerated. Having navigated the business world for years, she couldn’t fathom how that little brat from before had reached such heights in less than two years.

Was this even scientifically possible?

Although she was slightly dazed, Wu Kuang had not forgotten the main topic at hand.

"Alright, if you have time, you can ask him about his situation yourself. Given your relationship, he naturally won’t hide anything from you! Now, hurry up and tell me about your situation. That’s what’s important right now."

Dong Muyun snapped back to reality. She was about to speak but was immediately stopped by Wu Kuang.

"Wait, do a sweep first!"

Fully regaining her focus, Dong Muyun quickly pulled out a familiar scanner and swept the office.

After finding no anomalies, she nodded.

"Mad Saint, everything is clear!"

Wu Kuang nodded.

"It seems that after you found those recording devices during the last sweep and cleared out some people from the company, things have indeed become much more obedient!"

"I have you to thank, Mad Saint, for helping me find so many parasites."

"Alright, down to business!"

Returning to the main topic, Dong Muyun’s expression turned serious.

"Senior, it’s like this. Just this morning, Director Yan from the Fire King Company invited me to Liuli Island in the Country of Ten Thousand Islands. He wants me to go with the Golden Association, claiming it’s to expand Pingyun Company’s sales channels to the Country of Ten Thousand Islands!"

"Oh? Those guys finally couldn’t hold back anymore and want to take you and Pingyun out of the country?"

Wu Kuang fell deep into thought on the screen.

Dong Muyun pursed her lips, feeling a bit nervous.

Wu Kuang glanced at her.

"What did those guys say about the last incident?"

Dong Muyun shook her head.

"I have already met with the Vice President of the Golden Association. Just as your investigation revealed, Mad Saint, it is Shen Qiu, the chairman from Qilu Province!

"However, when I requested to meet the President of the Golden Association, they refused! They didn’t even leak the slightest bit of information! He is extremely well-hidden!"

Wu Kuang nodded.

"Interesting. It seems this hidden President of the Golden Association is quite a formidable figure.

"But that makes sense. Secretly plotting so many things, even colluding with Eagle Country, and scheming across the entire world... Dragon Country is a place beyond their reach, so they naturally have to make preparations. Tell me what you think. Do you think you should go to this Country of Ten Thousand Islands?"

He changed the subject, tossing the question back to Dong Muyun.

Dong Muyun gritted her teeth and replied directly.

"To answer the Mad Saint, I believe it is worth a trip!"

"Oh? Tell me your thoughts."

"Based on previous intel, as long as I avoid going to Eagle Country and Sakura Country, the Heart of Gold shouldn’t do anything to me.

"For this trip, the Golden Association’s stated purpose is probably true—they really just want to expand Pingyun’s business network!

"At the same time, it might also be a chance for them to flex their muscles and show off the Golden Association’s strength, making me more resolute in following them.

"This would also prepare Pingyun for eventually joining the Heart of Gold in the future!"

Dong Muyun spoke with confident eloquence.

With the Golden Association’s help, Pingyun’s domestic sales network was no longer an issue.

In fact, over this short half-year, the company had expanded at an unimaginable speed.

Relying on a few unique products, it had become one of the top companies within Dragon Nation.

But the most important factor was the Heart of Dreams.

With the Mechanics Association’s improvements to Mechanical Pet Beasts, the prices for Mechanical System Pet Beasts were steadily decreasing.

Simultaneously, the first batch of lower-priced Heart of Dreams units was about to hit the market.

Of course, to compensate those who had purchased it at the previous high price, Pingyun and Feifei had gifted these players some Advanced Level rare cosmetics within the Heart of Dreams.

Pingyun’s current value was indeed extraordinary.

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense!"

Wu Kuang nodded, but instead of offering any further opinions, he fell back into deep thought.

Dong Muyun did the same. Her brows furrowed slightly. Then, less than half a minute later, she asked,

"Mad Saint, please forgive me, but I still want to ask: besides you, who else knows the news that Su Ping successfully left the Heavenly Tomb and became the Vice President of the Beastmaster Association?"

At those words, Wu Kuang’s electronic eyes flared with a massive stream of glowing data. He looked at Dong Muyun on the screen with profound meaning.

"It’s good that you thought of that! I have the same suspicion!

"The Golden Association is rushing you to leave Dragon Nation and accelerating your integration into their ranks—and even the Heart of Gold. Could this be related to Su Ping’s promotion?

"Right now, Su Ping’s status and identity are extraordinary. And Pingyun, as Su Ping’s company, has unparalleled future potential, even if its current revenue and profits aren’t at the very top in Dragon Nation!

"The reason they’re speeding up is highly likely because they received the news quickly! But the problem is... who got the news first?

"It was only us Spirit Saint Level existences in Dragon Nation, along with a few Breeding Masters from the Breeder Association. Who among them could possibly be involved with the Golden Association?"

Wu Kuang frowned slightly.

Although the Holy Dragon hadn’t explicitly stated any intent to move against the Golden Association, the Heart of Gold was a foreign organization. Any domestic group that carelessly maintained an ambiguous connection with them was inherently fishy.

It would be abnormal for such figures to be unaware of these implications.

But obviously, at this moment, neither of them could guess the answer.

After a moment of thought, Wu Kuang said straightforwardly,

"In that case, just agree to their invitation! I will go report to the Holy Dragon first. By the way, when are you planning to set off?"

"First thing tomorrow morning, on the Golden Association’s private plane!"
