A high-level continent like the Beast Taming Continent, especially one famous for its beast taming, must have no shortage of innate divine beasts like the Phoenix and the Divine Dragon, right?

Judging from Ruan Yu's tone and her strange expression, Xiao Hei knew that she must have imagined something.

"Your Excellency may not know this, but although the phoenix is ​​not a rare or exotic beast, its flames are a treasure comparable to top-grade exotic flames."

Xiao Hei explained, "For ordinary people to refine this Phoenix Fire, in addition to having a phoenix as their contracted beast, they also need to go through an extremely difficult refining process."

Throughout history, countless geniuses have perished in the process of refining the phoenix flame.

There are more than a dozen of them in their Black Night City alone!

After learning about these things, Ruan Yu understood why Xiao Hei had such a surprised expression when he saw the Phoenix Fire.

"Your Excellency, there's something I'm not sure if I should say." Before asking, Xiao Hei glanced at Ruan Yu's expression, and seeing that she hadn't changed at all, he mustered his courage and continued to ask.

"You are a esteemed summoner, possessing so many summoned beasts. You must be quite well-known. Why is it that... I have never heard of you before?"

"Could it be that you are not from the Beast Taming Continent?" That's the only answer!

"Ah."

"Huh? Your Excellency, you just told me that?" Xiao Hei didn't react for a moment. Ruan Yu nodded so openly?

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to matter that she's not from the Beast Taming Continent. As long as she doesn't wreak havoc on the continent, she can do whatever she wants.

"What, do I need to silence you?" Ruan Yu deliberately scared Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei shuddered, even his chrysanthemum tightened: "Then let's not. I'm very timid and can't stand being scared."

With Xiao Hei as her living token, Ruan Yu's journey was remarkably smooth.

“Sir, this villa is specifically for entertaining distinguished guests. No one has lived here since it was renovated.” Xiao Hei was very savvy and chose an extremely spacious and secluded place for Ruan Yu.

Moreover, the environment is beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

If it weren't for the fact that she still had something to look for, Ruan Yu would have liked to stay here a little longer.

"No need to call me Your Excellency, my name is Ruan Yu." The repeated use of "Your Excellency" made her head spin.

"How can that be?" Having witnessed Ruan Yu's skills, how could Xiao Hei dare to call Ruan Yu by her given name?

Finally, at Ruan Yu's insistence, Xiao Hei had no choice but to change his address to "Miss Ruan".

"Oh, right, go and bring someone back for me." Ruan Yu said she felt like she had lost something. Only after settling into the city lord's mansion did she suddenly remember that Yuan Shilei was still waiting for her outside the black market!

"Yes, Miss Ruan." Xiao Hei took the portrait that Ruan Yu had copied and immediately made dozens of copies, which were then sent to the guards of the city lord's mansion to search for it.

Nothing was found that night.

In the early morning, Ruan Yu came out of the space. She had been busy all night and her back ached and her head was throbbing.

She opened the door to let in some fresh air, but to her surprise, Xiao Hei and a group of guards knelt down in the courtyard.

"What are you doing?"

Ruan Yu was surprised and used her divine power to help him up.

After Xiao Hei got up, he knelt down again: "I'm sorry, Miss Ruan, I failed to complete the task you entrusted to me!"

"The person you're looking for... I've searched the entire city of Night City with my men, but I haven't found them!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yu immediately released her mental power to cover the entire city. Just as Xiao Hei had said, Yuan Shilei's aura... had vanished!

“This is my business, it has nothing to do with you,” Ruan Yu said.

It was because she forgot to look for Yuan Shilei that he disappeared.

Xiao Hei had worked tirelessly all night for her, and she was so grateful to him.

"Take your people and go rest."

After saying that, she flew away from the city lord's mansion and went to find Yuan Shilei herself.

“Miss Ruan…” Xiao Hei stood up, looking bewildered and incredulous.

How come I wasn't punished?

Miss Ruan is truly beautiful inside and out!

The guards said, "Lord, didn't you say that if we couldn't find the person in the portrait, we'd all be in deep trouble?"

"Aren't we alright now? That lord isn't as ruthless as the city lord described!"

Xiao Hei, with her forehead ribbon, said, "That's because you haven't seen her slay demons!"

"A demon? What exactly is that? We've never seen or even heard of one!"

"Alright, alright, go back to your posts! Don't ask questions you shouldn't! Also, if Miss Ruan asks you to do anything, be sure to do it her way!"

"Yes!"

……

Ruan Yu searched the entire city of Black Night, both above and below ground, especially the area outside the black market, which she searched several times, but still found nothing.

If only she had extracted a wisp of Yuan Shilei's consciousness, she could have pinpointed his location more precisely.

Of course, it's too late to say anything now.

A perfectly healthy person vanished without a trace. It seems the other person's cultivation level was at least as high as his own!

Logically speaking, Yuan Shilei shouldn't have offended such a powerful figure. The Yuan family has been suppressed by the Qian family in recent years, and their power has severely declined; they wouldn't be foolish enough to offend anyone.

Even if they really offended him, when the other party found Yuan Shilei, they would definitely kill him directly. Why would they go to the trouble of kidnapping him?

unless……

The other party's goal is to lure me out!

Having figured things out, Ruan Yu returned to the city lord's mansion. Since the other party was coming for her, they would definitely show themselves.

What she needs to do now is to repair the World Destruction Compass.

After a night of deliberation and experimentation, Ruan Yu discovered that the lamp wick given by the God could be refined to repair the World-Destroying Compass. Entering the space, Ruan Yu pieced together the fragments of the compass, using divine power to support the lamp wick, enveloping it with divine power of both metal and fire attributes.

"Shh!"

The moment the flame ignites, the wick begins to be refined.

Drops of liquid, shimmering with golden light, fell onto the compass fragments.

In the past few days, Xuanwu has been using its own primordial power to protect the World-Destroying Compass, thus preventing it from completely losing its divinity when it is destroyed.

Now that Ruan Yu has found a way to reshape the compass, Xuanwu can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Take Xuanwu to rest." Ruan Yu looked at Xuanwu's dark circles under his eyes, feeling heartbroken, not knowing how long it had been since he had slept.

Xuanwu stubbornly said, "I won't rest. It's not too late to rest after the compass is repaired."

"That's fine."

We've held on for so long, what's a little longer?

Ruan Yu quickened her pace, and when she was refining the compass, she flicked her arm, and the ordinary flame instantly transformed into an extreme icy earth flame.

Using different flames can amplify the power of divine artifacts.

Since she's going to reshape it, why doesn't she refine an even stronger version based on the original World Destruction Compass?

Innate artifacts can be upgraded as long as there are enough materials. However, damaged innate artifacts are not so easy to repair.

Ruan Yu's mental energy withered and withered, and she almost touched the edge of death several times, but she managed to hold on by relying on her strong will.

"The World-Destroying Compass... don't disappoint me!"
