Chapter 40

Strange Pet Ethics

After Xue Youyou updated the ultimate technique of Guanghan Zhan, Guanghan Zhan completely evolved.

The Yuki-onna from the side almost drooled.

After all, as fellow pets of Yuki-onna and Kurohan-zan, who live in the same pet space, they can view each other's panels without reservation.

Considering how abnormal her own weapon is, it's quite remarkable that she managed to hold back from groaning; it's a testament to Yukiko Kamishiro's relatively reserved personality.

However, just as the Yuki-onna was eager to try her hand at it, Guanghan Zhan unexpectedly dodged her grab with a flash and then slowly floated to Yuki-onna's side.

Kamishiro Yuki-onna was slightly taken aback.

Xue Youyou also didn't understand.

Guanghan Zhan remained silent, so Xue Youyou could only guess based on its behavior: "You think the Divine Snow Maiden is not good enough for you, and you don't want her to control you?"

It's not uncommon for powerful weapons to place higher demands on their users.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Maiden's eyelashes trembled slightly. She stared intently at the Guanghan Slash, as if she wanted to fight it and settle the score. Her threatening intent was palpable.

This was the first time Xue Youyou had ever seen the Yuki-onna from the Goddess Era get so angry.

Mythical Beasts vs. Mythical Omens.

Even Xue Youyou had never seen this match before, and it was hard to say who would win if they actually fought.

Xue Youyou was quite interested in the result, and in her opinion as a senior beast tamer, it was not a bad thing for her pets to fight occasionally; on the contrary, it could enhance their relationship.

However, upon hearing this, Guanghan Zhan's sword swayed from side to side, and Xue Youyou felt that it was shaking its head in denial.

Upon seeing this, the Snow Woman's expression softened slightly.

A civil war that was about to break out was thus averted.

Xue Youyou sighed inwardly, "What a pity."

If Guanghanzhan's unusual behavior wasn't for this reason, then why?

Xue Youyou felt a sense of unease. After staring at Guanghan Zhan for a while, she guessed again, "So you think I'm not qualified to be your beast tamer?"

The evolution of a pet not only brings increased strength, but also greater psychological maturity.

Many beasts, especially those with exceptional talents, look down on their own beast tamers after becoming stronger.

Although they cannot unilaterally break their contract with the Beastmaster, they will begin to exhibit rebellious behaviors such as disobeying the Beastmaster's orders and bullying other pets.

Listed by the pet science community as one of the top ten common problems after pet evolution.

When Xue Youyou asked this time, Guanghan Zhan did not immediately deny it. First, the tip of the sword tapped up and down, and then the blade trembled slightly from side to side, as if it were both nodding and shaking its head, making it impossible to understand its meaning.

This left Xue Youyou completely bewildered, and she simply spread her hands like a little bear: "Is it yes or no? Give me an answer, okay?"

"Did they develop aphasia after evolving?"

"I already know you're a reincarnated divine beast, so stop pretending."

"..."

After a dozen seconds of contemplation, Guanghan Zhan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, his tone heavy and melancholy: "Since things have come to this, I will not hide it from you, Youyou. I am indeed a reborn divine beast."

"After absorbing this bottle of Taiyin energy essence, my memory returned somewhat, and I recalled many things about Taiyin."

"As you know, the divine beast Taiyin is my...closest friend. We have fought side by side many times."

"I never imagined that during the great calamity in the Moon Realm, not only was I forced to reincarnate, but she also met with misfortune. Even her own energy essence was extracted, bottled, and ended up in this tiny place."

"I can't imagine who did this, and what kind of situation she is in now."

Seeing the hint of sadness in Guanghan Zhan's sighs, as if his wife had been kidnapped, Xue Youyou cautiously probed, "Could this divine beast Taiyin be your wife? Are you going to find your woman now?"

Upon hearing this, Guanghan Zhan fell silent, somewhat surprised by Xue Youyou's wisdom. After a moment's thought, he generously admitted, "You noticed that. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are indeed a clever beast tamer."

"However, I need to correct your concept. According to the ethics of our pet beasts, since you are my beast tamer, then my woman is also your woman."

These remarks truly shocked Xue Youyou, leaving her with a huge question mark above her head.

Xue Youyou's mouth gaped open, and she pointed at herself, asking, "What if she were my wife? I mean, if..."

Before Xue Youyou could finish speaking, Guanghan Zhan immediately replied, "Of course she's my wife too..."

Xue Youyou: "..."

Guanghan Zhan continued speaking eloquently: "In short, we need to find Taiyin. I have lost a large part of my memories. If we can find it, we will surely be able to find out what exactly happened in the Moon Realm back then."

"The first thing we need to figure out is where this bottle of mythical beast essence came from..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Xue Youyou interrupted. "Don't you know I'm being chased by an ultimate beast tamer right now? Your wife's energy essence was stolen from him, it's stolen goods, you know?"

"Besides, we've already used it all up. I can't exactly go and ask her where she got it from, can I? That would be like walking into a trap."

Hehe, she has no intention of doing this task, which sounds troublesome and doesn't offer any benefits.

Although she has transmigrated to this world, her mindset remains the same as in her previous life. She is only deeply obsessed with the three paths of transcendent evolution, and she will never do anything else without benefit.

What do you mean, "your wife is my wife"? Who's talking to you like that?

Even divine beasts have been destroyed and reborn; only a fool would willingly get involved in such karma.

However, Guanghan Zhan seemed to have anticipated Xue Youyou's excuse and calmly replied, "That's easy. You can start with her granddaughter. Ask that girl Meng Yanqing first."

"..."

Under Guanghanzhan's scrutinizing gaze, Xue Youyou couldn't think of any other excuse for a moment, so she simply gave up on treatment and lay down on the ground, rolling around and pretending to be innocent: "Oh dear, I just had amnesia, did something happen?"

Guanghan Zhan watched Xue Youyou roll around on the ground in a completely unseemly manner, speechless. He could only drop the final bombshell, saying something that would shock everyone: "I can promise you, if I find Taiyin, I will persuade her to form a contract with you."

Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou's body stiffened abruptly.

The next second, he sprang to his feet, instantly coming back to life, his eyes shining as he looked at Guanghan Zhan to confirm, "Is this true?"

Guanghan Zhan immediately made a guarantee: "I swear in the name of the divine beast that I will never lie."

After receiving Guanghan Zhan's assurance, Xue Youyou realized that she had been somewhat out of line. She coughed lightly and regained her dignified expression.

Then, turning his back, he declared confidently, "Although I'm not interested in divine beasts, as the saying goes, a beast tamer and his beast are of one mind, even if they are not the same. Your wife is my wife. We'll find the beast, alive or dead, no matter how difficult it is!"

After receiving Xue Youyou's promise, the Guanghan Sword trembled slightly and emitted a melodious sword sound, as if it were laughing.

After this state lasted for a short while, Guanghan Zhan paused, his tone suddenly turning low, and said, "Youyou, I have another request."

"Hmm?" Xue Youyou looked at Guanghan Zhan with a puzzled expression, waiting for it to continue.

She will try her best to meet her pet's requests as long as they are reasonable and not too troublesome.

This time, Guanghan Zhan remained silent for even longer than before, until Xue Youyou and Shendai Yuki-onna were almost bursting with pent-up emotions before he finally spoke: "Youyou, let's share our memories."

"What?!" Xue Youyou's delicate body trembled, her eyes widened, thinking she had misheard.
