Chapter 457: Chapter 452: New Year’s Eve Night

Bai Qi’s Home.

Bai Yan and Luo Zhu silently looked at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit in front of them, then glanced at Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, asking, “Son, are you sure this rabbit is a legendary creature that you brought back from the Twilight Tomb?”

“Yes indeed, this is the legendary creature Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, doesn’t it look like one?”

Bai Qi nodded, saying, “The snow outside was caused by it.”

“Alright.”

Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, reluctantly accepting this fact.

Their son’s abilities were growing, to the point that he could even coax a legendary creature into following him.

Speaking of which, wasn’t the legendary green dragon also coaxed in the same way?

Understanding the relationship between Bai Qi and the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu no longer worried about the origin of the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit and closely examined it.

“Fur is soft, skin is restrained, and it appears to have a strong resistance to impact.”

“The body shows slight elementalization, distinct from the Ice Clean Rabbit, recommend sampling for further investigation.”

“…”

“Bai Qi, have your parents always been like this?”

Watching the increasingly intense discussion between Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, who even seemed to be on the verge of dissecting the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit for research, Bai Qiucha couldn’t help but laugh.

“Pretty much, if they were capable of beating the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, they probably would have taken action already.”

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, intending to prevent his parents from proceeding further.

It wasn’t easy to get a legendary creature to come along, they better not give it a scare.

At that moment, Bai Qi suddenly felt a familiar and powerful presence outside the door, Bai Qiucha also sensed it, came to the door, opened it, and found Bai Heguang standing outside.

“Teacher, you’re back?”

Bai Qi asked.

“It’s New Year’s Eve today, so I hurried back. I thought Cha might be at your place since she’s not at home.”

Bai Heguang nodded, saying, “But why is there a strange legendary aura in your house?”

“Well… maybe you should come in and sit first, I’ll explain slowly.”

Bai Qi invited Bai Heguang into the house, after they exchanged greetings, Bai Qi told Bai Heguang the origin of the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit.

“An unknown powerful creature?”

Bai Heguang furrowed his brows slightly, he had also been to the sixth floor, but the Ice Demon Rabbit hadn’t attacked him, so he hadn’t paid much attention, simply repairing the gap in the secret realm and leaving.

However, it sounded like there was an even stronger creature hidden inside according to Bai Qi?

“I’ll check it out again.”

Bai Heguang pondered for a moment, and immediately planned to go to the Twilight Tomb for a check.

Bai Qi stopped Bai Heguang, saying, “Teacher, there’s no need, the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit said that the creature should have left already.”

“I see…”

Bai Heguang halted, glanced at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, and said, “On behalf of the Beast Master Association, I welcome your arrival.”

“Thank you.”

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit nodded somewhat cautiously. Although it wasn’t as powerful as the Bronze Giant Dragon, the pressure Bai Heguang gave it was more intuitive and real.

Also, it seemed like this man in front of them was his future leader according to Bai Qi?

“I will inform President Zhao about the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit later, Bai Qi, you’ve really made a great contribution this time.”

Bai Heguang admired Bai Qi, saying, “You’ve definitely improved a lot since you were able to pass the test of the Fire Rock Demon Tiger.”

“Well, it’s alright, it’s alright.”

Bai Qi stiffened when he heard that, this manner of conversation, the teacher was about to start an assessment.

“Rest assured, it’s New Year’s Eve tonight, so I won’t check your homework.”

Bai Heguang smiled slightly, saying, “Alright, I won’t interrupt your family holiday, I’ll come to find you tomorrow.”

With that, Bai Heguang called Bai Qiucha and prepared to leave.

“Bai Chuanqi, since such an opportunity to gather together has arisen, why don’t you stay and spend the evening with us? My wife and I would like to show our gratitude for your care of Bai Qi.”

Seeing this, Bai Yan immediately extended an invitation to Bai Heguang, who pondered for a moment and compared it to the quiet New Year’s Eves he and Bai Qiucha usually spent together. He then nodded.

“Then I’ll be imposing.”

Seeing Bai Heguang agree, both Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha were somewhat surprised.

“In that case, I’ll leave tonight’s dinner to my pet beast Gamma. His culinary skills are quite good.”

Bai Qi immediately summoned Gamma. After giving a few simple instructions, Gamma moved a whole set of professional cooking utensils and a pile of ingredients from the secret realm.

As an in-house experienced chef, Gamma’s movements were swift, and the savory dishes were quickly presented before Bai Qi.

“Son, how did you train your pets to be so, um… multitalented?”

After witnessing the skeleton that could carve runes, the Arctic Ice Wolf that could help design machinery, the Ancestor Beast whose biological talent could be described as against the heavens, and now a slime that could cook,

Although Bai Yan and his wife were not Beast Masters, they had seen plenty of them and their pets. It was the first time they had seen someone cultivate their pets like Bai Qi.

“They just developed their own hobbies, it has nothing to do with me.”

Bai Qi shrugged, Alpha’s rune carving was mostly self-taught afterward, Schuck’s research efficiency was even higher than his own, Gamma’s cooking skills were self-cultivated, and Delta used himself directly to conduct biological experiments.

As for the insects, they originally functioned as dream generators within the team, but with the development of the Jade Dream, they took on the role of a GM, quietly nibbling on the dreams of pets every day in the Jade Dream under the pretext of supervision.

Dreams, as long as they were constantly updated, could be recovered by sleeping.

Suffice it to say, except for Jie Ta, the other five pets all found a secondary occupation that matched their hobbies.

“Not bad, nurturing the independence of the pet beasts is beneficial for their future independent battles.”

Bai Heguang nodded slightly, saying, “But don’t forget about the cultivation of your pets’ combat power.”

“I understand, teacher.”

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, he understood this point, but since the hobbies of the five pets were closely related to their fighting styles, he didn’t intervene too much.

“Cultivating independence, huh…”

Listening to their conversation, Bai Qiucha imagined the Bone Dragon dressed in various work clothes working all over the place.

Forget it, I couldn’t do it after all.

Bai Qiucha shook his head to dispel the odd scenes from his mind and started tasting Gamma’s dishes.

Having trained so long in the Twilight Tomb, he felt somewhat fatigued. He rarely had an opportunity to spend the New Year’s Eve with so many people, so he ought to relax a bit.

Ding Dong!

Just then, the mechanical butler broadcasted the image of the entrance where the Zhuge Chen family of three stood.

“Why are they here?”

Bai Qi was curious and promptly got up with Bai Yan and Luo Zhu to welcome them.

“Uncle Zhuge, Aunt Fu, why are you here?”

Bai Qi opened the door, looked at the three covered in snow, and asked.

“My old man said that since Uncle Bai and Aunt Luo are both here this year, we might as well come over and spend New Year’s Eve at your place.”

Zhuge Chen smiled, “You don’t mind, right?”

“How could I? Of course, you’re welcome.”

Bai Qi turned around intending to guide the three back into the house when he saw a giant eagle descend from the sky—it could only be Luo Xiang.

“Instructor Luo, don’t tell me you had nowhere else to celebrate the New Year?”

Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth. Normally, his mansion was devoid of any life, but today turned out to be special—everybody was here.

“What? Not welcome?”

Luo Xiang put his hand on Bai Qi’s shoulder and said pitifully, “I woke up and realized that the Super God Evolution Research Institute was empty. I was bored, so I came over to mooch off your food.”

“And, I’m not the only one who came to mooch.”

Luo Xiang pointed behind him, and a golden Array appeared. Soon after, President Qin appeared in front of Bai Qi.

“This is such a lively gathering? Seems like I came at the right time.”

Bai Qi sighed, “President Qin, Instructor Luo is one thing, but why did you also leave your house to come here?”

“My old lady went on a trip with my son and daughter-in-law and hasn’t returned yet. Celebrating New Year’s Eve alone is lonely. You wouldn’t want to leave me, an old man, alone would you?”

President Qin looked pitifully at Bai Qi, his intention was clear.

“President, your choice of words is not quite right…”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, “Forget it, the more the merrier. I also have something to report to the President and Instructor Luo.”

“What is it?”

Upon hearing that, President Qin’s expression grew stern, “Young man, you didn’t cause any trouble, did you?”

“No, I just lured a legendary creature back.”

“That’s fine, just luring a…wait, what did you just say you lured back?”

In the astonishment of President Qin, Bai Qi led everyone back into the house.

“Heguang, you’re also here?”

Seeing that Bai Heguang was also there, President Qin was somewhat surprised.

“Mm.”

Bai Heguang greeted everyone with a slight nod, then stopped talking.

“Okay, everyone, let’s eat first, we can talk later.”

Bai Yan asked the robot butler to bring out a bigger table, chairs, and utensils, and reception everyone to sit. Gamma then served more dishes.

Under the influence of good food, the atmosphere of the dinner was particularly harmonious. Eventually, they summoned their pets to enjoy the food together.

After everyone had their fill, Gamma served tea for everyone then went back to the pile of pets to continue its meal.

As the chef of the night, Gamma had been quite busy. Now that it finally got free, it was intent on eating to its heart’s content.

“By the way, Bai Qi, what are your future plans?”

Zhuge Xu sipped his tea and asked.

“Plans?”

Bai Qi pause for a moment, “I plan to train near the seashore.”

Compared to the inland area where the Federation was located, there were much more types and numbers of extraordinary creatures in the sea. There, he should be able to gather enough resources to strengthen Jie Ta.

By the way, Bai Qi also wanted to see different pets.

“Go to the sea? The Federation’s restraint on that area isn’t strong, son, you don’t consider reconsidering?”

Luo Zhu was a bit worried upon hearing this.

“No problem, I will bring Nicholas with me.”

Bai Qi waved his hand, then suddenly remembered something.

Speaking of, he hadn’t seen Nicholas when he went to the Green Dragon Secret Realm before. He didn’t know where he ran off to.

“You are now a Six-Stage Beast Trainer, indeed you should venture out to accumulate some experience.”

Bai Heguang nodded, fully agreeing with Bai Qi’s idea.

“However, since it’s your first time going out so far alone, I suggest not going too far.”

After thinking for a moment, President Qin suggested, “Why don’t you go to the Southern Abyss Coast guarded by Master Mo Guan? With a familiar person guiding, it will be more convenient.”

“Master Mo Guan? Well, I don’t have a specific destination anyway.”

Bai Qi shrugged, agreeing with President Qin’s suggestion.

“Tsk tsk…I originally wanted to pull you in to help interpret the Element Gate, it seems like there’s no chance now.”

Luo Xiang shrugged regretfully and was about to say something when a melodious bell rang outside.

“It’s the bell of the Lonely Mountain Temple, is it New Year’s Eve already?”

Zhuge Xu checked the time and laughed, “There are so many people that time flies. New Year’s Eve came especially fast.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, while Bai Qi began to imagine his experiences in the sea.

The sea, how exciting~
