Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 615: Chapter 610: In this day and age, is there still arranged marriage?

The two continued to move forward, the bugs scattering to avoid them as they sensed Yang Ming’s presence.

“All teachers and students of Cangzhe Academy carry specially made repellents to avoid being bothered by creatures of the insect system,”

Yang Ming took out a wooden pendant and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, “Master Bai Qi, just carry this and the common insect system creatures will keep their distance.”

“Thank you.”

Bai Qi took the pendant, and sure enough, smelt a unique fragrance on it.

“By the way, Master Yang, you mentioned earlier that the insect system creatures here have their own rules, can you tell me what they are?”

Looking at the harmonious insect system creatures around him, Bai Qi couldn’t help but ask.

“There’s no inconvenience, after all, the higher-ups of the Federation and the association know these things, and Master Bai Qi, you will find out soon.”

Yang Ming paused before speaking, “Besides being our Cangzhe Academy’s breeding area, the Thundering Forest is also the dwelling place of the Immortal Insect Emperor, the legendary pet beast left behind by our Cangzhe Academy’s first principal, You Li.”

“Immortal Insect Emperor?”

Bai Qi was surprised at these words but quickly understood.

With a legendary insect living here, it would be a miracle if the bugs didn’t scurry around.

“Yes, the Immortal Insect Emperor.”

A look of adoration appeared on Yang Ming’s face as he continued, “Principal You Li and the Immortal Insect Emperor shared a strong bond, which is why, after Principal You Li passed away, the Immortal Insect Emperor chose to stay with us and serve as a guardian beast for the Academy, thus giving birth to Thundering Forest.”

“I see.”

Bai Qi understood then. To his knowledge, most legendary beasts in the Federation’s history, after their Beast Master’s death, either chose to depart or stay in Eden.

Likewise, for the Immortal Insect Emperor to choose to stay in the academy its Beast Master had established as a guardian beast really was quite unusual.

“By the way, since this is Immortal Insect Emperor’s dwelling, isn’t it rather rude for Epsilon to burst in so randomly?”

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately started summoning Epsilon.

“That won’t be a problem, the Immortal Insect Emperor is very friendly to all insect system creatures and won’t mind.”

“That’s good then.”

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly saw a flash of golden light speeding towards him. It was a panicked Epsilon.

“Epsilon, what happened?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi was puzzled. Before he could answer, Epsilon dived into Bai Qi’s collar, refusing to come out.

Looking at this, Bai Qi was even more confused. Suddenly, a thunderclap drew near, and a giant flying ant, as swift as lightning, appeared above Bai Qi’s head.@@novelbin@@

“The Immortal Insect Emperor?”

Yang Ming was surprised at the sight. The Immortal Insect Emperor remained hidden within the Thundering Forest and hardly showed itself, even to them, the guides. He hadn’t expected the Immortal Insect Emperor to show up voluntarily today.

“This is the Immortal Insect Emperor?”

Bai Qi was stunned, but soon he too felt the strong unique aura from the Immortal Insect Emperor. His Epsilon, hiding in his arms, trembled as though it was frightened.

“Though there exists suppression within the same race by those of higher bloodlines over those of lower ones, Epsilon, your reaction is quite exaggerated, don’t you think?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi was rather perplexed. His pets usually had thick skins. Especially those standing at the forefront led by Alpha, who would stand their ground ferociously against any legend. How had Epsilon become so timid this time?

“Boss, this guy… he’s harboring ill intentions towards me!!!”

Epsilon peeked out, full of resentment, and complained to Bai Qi. But when it saw the Immortal Insect Emperor getting closer, it quickly retreated.

“Ill intentions?”

Bai Qi was even more perplexed, completely failing to understand what Epsilon had experienced. By this time, the Immortal Insect Emperor had already arrived in front of them, shrinking to the size of an average person.

“Bai Qi, I feel the approach of a legendary creature?”

Just then, Nicholas surprisingly popped out from the Green Dragon’s Secret Realm. Seeing the Immortal Insect Emperor in front of him, he immediately became alert.

Though Thunder Mountain City wasn’t extremely far from Gusu City, Nicholas had still decided to follow along.

By the way, for convenience, Nicholas simply gifted the Green Dragon’s Secret Realm to Bai Qi and merged it with the Plain Secret Realm.

After all, he now spent more time in the Jade Dream than in the Green Dragon’s Secret Realm. By handing the Green Dragon’s Secret Realm to Bai Qi, it would ease things up for Nicholas whenever he accompanied Bai Qi, simply by keeping an eye on Bai Qi through the Jade Vision.

“A living Green Dragon, in Federation territory?”

The Immortal Insect Emperor was slightly taken aback upon seeing Nicholas, but stopped paying him any attention upon seeing Epsilon peek out from Bai Qi’s arms. It said, “Don’t worry, we have no ill intentions, I just want to ask…it, this… brave little fellow for a favor.”

“Brave little fellow?”

Bai Qi instinctively looked at himself and after a moment, pulled out Epsilon from his arms, asking, “You’re talking about this one?”

The Immortal Insect Emperor nodded, its compound eyes fixated on Epsilon, revealing a trace of desire.

“That’s right, that one!”

The Immortal Insect Emperor nodded. But what it said next was utterly surprising.

“I want to mate with it, to breed a more powerful species!”

Bai Qi: “!!!”

Nicholas: “!!!”

Yang Ming: “!!!”

Two men and a dragon did feel like being struck by lightning, and the Bug Grass was completely shaken, struggling to escape Bai Qi’s palm to run back to the Secret Realm. It was stopped by a claw of the Immortal Insect Emperor.

“Cough cough… Immortal sir, these two are our academy’s guests, they are not here to…”

Seeing the situation, Yang Ming immediately tried to mediate, but the Immortal Insect Emperor seemed set on the Bug Grass and interrupted Yang Ming.

“I can sense a strong insect bloodline in it. Definitely something the Federation does not currently have. If we can influence this bloodline, we can definitely produce a new generation of powerful offspring!”

Upon hearing the Immortal Insect Emperor’s words, Bai Qi finally came back to his senses. He quietly moved to Yang Ming’s side and asked, “Master Yang, can I ask where all these insects in this Thundering Forest came from?”

“They were initially collected from other places, but later most of them were bred by the Immortal Insect Emperor himself.”

Bai Qi: “…”

No wonder the threat of the Insect Race was no less than that of the Undead, this reproductive ability was intimidating to anyone.

However, this fellow has actually set his sights on the Bug Grass’s bloodline.

It makes sense, though, that the Sun Beetle, a bug of mythical bloodline long extinct, would catch the attention of the Immortal Insect Emperor.

Only…

Bai Qi looked at the disheartened Bug Grass with a bitter smile, considered for a moment, and then rejected, “Immortal Insect Emperor, my pet beast is too young for this. Please spare him.”

“Too young? Our Insect Race have short hatching and growing times. This friend here is already an adult in Insect Race terms.”

The Immortal Insect Emperor showed no intention of letting Bug Grass go, saying, “The bloodline of the Sun Beetle, combined with the bloodlines of a few other Insect Race creatures, could certainly produce perfect offspring.”

As soon as he said this, Yang Ming, who was originally trying to mediate, also stopped, seemingly tempted.

“Boss, save your underling!”

Seeing this scene, Bug Grass continuously begged for help. Bai Qi immediately called Nicholas to rescue, but Nicholas only looked at Bug Grass with envy and showed no intentions of acting.

“I’m so envious~”

Nicholas sighed, seeming to remember something from the past. After confirming with Bai Qi several times, he finally forcibly took Bug Grass from the Immortal Insect Emperor.

“You can’t still be holding out hope for granny, can you?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi naturally knew what Nicholas was thinking. He muttered to himself silently, but after seeing the determined gaze of the Immortal Insect Emperor, he could only prioritize the matter at hand.

“I’m sorry, Immortal Insect Emperor, our Epsilon is not ready for this. Let’s forget about it.”

Bai Qi rejected the Immortal Insect Emperor’s request. Although the Immortal Insect Emperor was somewhat reluctant, seeing Nicholas on the side who was no weaker than him, he couldn’t insist any further.

“If I can’t mate, can I at least have some of its body tissue?”

The Immortal Insect Emperor hadn’t given up on the Bug Grass bloodline completely and proposed a compromise.

“Body tissue?”

Bai Qi was startled by the request, and Yang Ming immediately explained, “The Immortal Insect Emperor can extract superior genes from the food it consumes to breed the next generation.”

“Extract genes from food? A Chimera Ant?”

Bai Qi felt his hair stand on end, and his view of the Immortal Insect Emperor abruptly changed.

No wonder the ant-like form of the Immortal Insect Emperor looked so familiar. Extracting genes from food… Is the Immortal Insect Emperor trying to cultivate an unbeatable bloodline?

“Chimera Ant? What kind of creature is that? I’ve never heard of it.”

Upon hearing about a never-before-seen Insect Race creature from Bai Qi, the Immortal Insect Emperor immediately showed interest and kept asking questions.

However, Bai Qi naturally could not share such a dangerous precedent with the Immortal Insect Emperor. After a brief contemplation, he could only ask indirectly.

“Fusion of multiple creatures’ genes? That’s impossible. I can only inject food genes into insect eggs to breed offspring with the same bloodline. Unless it’s very common genes, anything more than two types is not incubatable.”

“I see…”

Bai Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and felt increasingly content with the Evolution Egg.

When he was contemplating Delta’s evolution scheme, he already knew about the relationship between evolution and genes.

Evolution is the transformation of genes, and the Evolution Egg can add new modules to the established gene modules of pet beasts. All he had to pay was some physical and spiritual power.

“So, can you provide me with some body tissue? Don’t worry, we Insect Race recover quickly.”

The attitude of the Immortal Insect Emperor was very humble. Bai Qi was fleetingly reminded of Nicholas from before, but unfortunately, Bai Qi still made a ruthless decision.

“I’m sorry, I can’t…”

“As compensation, I could provide you with a different bloodline resource in exchange.”

“Let’s hear it.”

“Boss…”
