Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

The restoration of territories under Emperor Beast Court's governance, polluted by the dimensional beings, is not a task that can be completed in a few years. It might even take decades to clear away such pollution.

During this time, the Emperor Beast Court will have to rely on Qixing.

The relationship between Qi Yue and Qixing is probably not that close; if it were truly intimate, Fang Mu wouldn't have asked me about it in such meticulous detail just moments ago!

When Fang Mu heard Zhuo An's words, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. Fang Mu hadn't thought much about this particular aspect until now.

Zhuo An's words helped Fang Mu understand Zhuo An's intentions. Zhuo An wishes to fully align himself under Fang Mu's command.

And he doesn't care about how the Emperor Beast Court perceives him!

Facing Zhuo An's sincere willingness to pledge loyalty, Fang Mu began to think deeply.

After a moment of deliberation, Fang Mu gently shook his head.

Fang Mu felt that letting Zhuo An shift from the shadows to the forefront was not an informed choice, especially since Qi Yue already functions openly on the surface.

Currently, Fang Mu only has Qi Yue as his overt connection within the Emperor Beast Court, along with Zhuo An as his covert line. Fang Mu finds it unnecessary to expose both connections simultaneously.

If the Emperor Beast Court knows Qi Yue is operating on the surface, they will choose to contact Fang Mu through her.

Exposing Zhuo An would be the equivalent of laying all his cards on the table.

And Fang Mu certainly wouldn't do such a thing!

"Zhuo An, you'll continue hiding in the shadows; there's no need for you to expose yourself or lay everything bare upfront!"

"Just work diligently for me, and even if you don't reveal yourself, I will still ensure your benefits!"

"You should already understand the relationship between Qi Yue and me, and even in her presence, I hope you won't expose yourself!"

Fang Mu's words made his stance extremely clear to Zhuo An. Hearing this, Zhuo An couldn't help but think to himself.

Fang Mu's decision likely stems from his distrust of Qi Yue.

Remaining hidden in the shadows is indeed more convenient in many situations. Only when the Emperor Beast Court isn't guarding against him can Zhuo An gain access to core information.

As the Vice Chairman of the Eternal Dark Council, Zhuo An is not a particularly high-ranking figure, but being connected to the Wise Cat Clan has already granted him access to the true inner circle of the Emperor Beast Court!

Fang Mu can use Zhuo An to verify the truth behind Qi Yue's claims.

Thinking about this, Zhuo An paused in realization—why had his thoughts now shifted entirely to align with Fang Mu's interests?

Currently, Zhuo An, in considering issues, has completely stopped factoring in the benefits of the Emperor Beast Court.

"Master, I know what to do now!"

After finishing the conversation with Zhuo An, Fang Mu leaned back leisurely on the sofa.

For now, Fang Mu only needs to wait for Qi Yue to approach him on behalf of the Emperor Beast Court.

Although Zhuo An mentioned that the Emperor Beast Court would soon reach out, Fang Mu believes it will take at least five days before Qi Yue contacts him.

The sudden emergence of the dimensional creature tide means the Emperor Beast Court will likely observe the situation first.

Only after confirming the tide shows no signs of stopping will they truly dispatch someone to seek Fang Mu.

If there's even a hint the dimensional creature tide might ease, the Emperor Beast Court would naturally prefer not to be controlled by him.

Even when seeking Fang Mu's help, the Emperor Beast Court will perform a cost-benefit analysis, weighing whether they can meet Fang Mu's terms.

During these few days, Fang Mu has been preparing, though not for a meeting with Qi Yue, but rather for gathering development supplies for the Giant Beast World.

While the Giant Beast World is on a higher plane compared to the Beastmaster World Fang Mu resides in, the Beastmaster World still possesses many resources useful for both Jeh Ancient Snake and Three-Headed Crane Phoenix.

By providing these resources to Jeh Ancient Snake and Three-Headed Crane Phoenix, it might not necessarily speed up their strength enhancement.

However, it can ensure their growth is of higher quality!

Jiang Weng's preparation work was swift, and every Spirit-smithing Master he brought in was personally recruited.

When Jiang Weng proposed introducing twenty Advanced Spirit Forgers into the Giant Beast World, he already had suitable candidates in mind.

It didn't even take three days; by the second evening, Jiang Weng arrived at the gates of Half Mountain Manor accompanied by the twenty Spirit Forgers.

Fang Mu personally welcomed Jiang Weng at the entrance, though he had little interaction with the Spirit Forgers accompanying him.

Nonetheless, these Spirit Forgers showed enormous respect toward Fang Mu.

Knowing Fang Mu's identity as a Saint Creator and Qixing Disciple, and being aware that Fang Mu is the figure behind the Jianmu Commerce Association, earned their deference.

Fang Mu nodded to the Spirit Forgers behind Jiang Weng before asking Jiang Weng directly.

"Elder Jiang, have you finished all the necessary preparations?"

Upon receiving Jiang Weng's affirmative reply, Fang Mu invoked the Mechanism Fortress, allowing everyone to enter.

Fang Mu then guided the Mechanism Fortress back to his room, where he accessed the dimensional channel to enter the Giant Beast World.

Currently, Fang Mu no longer resides in this room.

He had chosen a bedroom on the third floor and asked Liu Yi and Liu Er to help him redecorate it.

Fang Mu set a restriction on his previous bedroom, making it exclusively accessible to him alone. Normally, no one would enter this room randomly.

Upon returning to the Giant Beast World, Fang Mu swiftly sensed the energy growth of Jeh Ancient Snake and Three-Headed Crane Phoenix.

These two companions remained close to the gateway's vicinity, with Three-Headed Crane Phoenix leveraging its unique trait, "Crane Phoenix Song," to attract a large number of colossal bird beasts.

These bird beasts congregated incessantly, becoming prey to Jeh Ancient Snake's hunting and thus serving as sustenance for both companions.

Thanks to this ample food supply, Jeh Ancient Snake and Three-Headed Crane Phoenix have been growing at remarkable speed!

Detecting Fang Mu's presence, Jeh Ancient Snake and Three-Headed Crane Phoenix immediately approached him.

Previously, Jeh Ancient Snake had already ascended to Epic Quality, but the Two-Headed Crane Phoenix had failed to reach Epic Quality upon hatching due to a depletion of life energy and pure elemental energy on Fang Mu's part, remaining at Perfect Quality instead.

Yet the resource consumption by Three-Headed Crane Phoenix was anything but negligible.

Fang Mu had provided far more Blood Aged Wine to Two-Headed Crane Phoenix than he did to Jeh Ancient Snake.

After a few days of accumulation, Three-Headed Crane Phoenix finally upgraded its quality to Epic Quality.

Fang Mu used the innate divine skill "Eye of Omniscience" from Fool's Shadow to inspect the now significantly bulkier and mystic Three-Headed Crane Phoenix.
