Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

*1 update in July*

The raging waves subsided, leaving only gentle ripples spreading outwards, as if the events of just moments ago were all an illusion.

Amidst the clear ripples, one can vaguely see the entrance to the underwater passage closing and shrinking.

2 meters, 1 meters, 1 meter...

Soon only a black ball of light less than half a meter long remained, and it became ethereal, as if it could disappear at any moment.

"...Sigh, I knew Mingxi wouldn't be coming back!"

The beast tamers who escaped the secret realm did not leave; they all gathered on the lakeshore, watching the divine remnant secret realm dissipate.

Of course, some people are still waiting for their relatives and friends who have not yet returned, even though they know that their chances of survival are slim.

"That young girl is such a pity, she's too young."

"She's young and impulsive. With her talent and abilities, as long as she grows step by step, she'll become a peerless genius sooner or later. I don't know what she's thinking?"

"He's just being willful because he's got talent!"

"..."

Listening to the conversations of many people around them, Lin Guanyue and the other three had different expressions.

These four people are quite lucky.

When the rain of energy fragments erupted from the secret realm, Shi Nianhua and Zhang Huining were chosen by the fragments among the four of them.

Fortunately, both of them are the type to make a fortune quietly.

His trump card for survival was kept hidden until he was bombarded by energy fragments.

So both of them managed to survive the explosion of debris, albeit with difficulty. Although they were still seriously injured, their pets' strength was improved.

Their first pet beasts have all successfully evolved to the Warrior level!

This adventure was worthwhile!

In contrast, Lin Guanyue and Fang Qin.

If a pet dies and suffers a backlash, unless it encounters another extraordinary event, it has essentially been sentenced to 'death'.

Another item was used up, resulting in heavy losses, but the harvest was zero.

However, compared to those beast tamers who died in the secret realm, being able to return alive is already the greatest fortune.

Especially when I think of Mingxi, who has disappeared without a trace.

They felt like they could do it again.

"boom!"

A muffled, loud thud suddenly echoed from the lake.

Everyone stared intently, only to see the underwater passageway, which was about to disappear, shaking violently.

Initially, a very thin, purplish-black bolt of lightning broke through the black mass and pierced the lake water.

Soaring straight into the sky!

Pierce through the sky!

"Purple-black lightning! How could purple-black lightning appear in this passage?!"

Those beast tamers who understood the power of the purple-black lightning all changed their expressions.

"Could there still be life in the secret realm left behind by the gods?"

"Idiot, there must be some extraordinary creature with lightning attributes attacking the entrance!"

Amidst everyone's astonishment and confusion, the purplish-black lightning bolt grew thicker and thicker, eventually squeezing open the passage that had shrunk to the size of a fist.

Half a meter, 1 meter, 1 meters, 2 meters...

Before the lightning bolts had completely dissipated, a figure with a head of frizzy curly hair and a dark little face tumbled out of the passage that had been forcibly opened!

"It's actually a person?!"

"This is impossible!"

"Who is this?"

"She's fainted! Quick, go down and save her!"

After a flurry of activity, the black-faced, curly-haired creature was carefully carried ashore by a water-type pet.

Gentle healing techniques were applied to the unconscious person.

The rise and fall of her chest gradually calmed down, probably because the injury was too severe.

She did not wake up.

A female staff member carefully wiped away the dark grime from her face, revealing a slightly immature yet exceptionally delicate face.

"hiss!"

"My God, it's actually Mingxi!"

"She's still alive?! How did she do that?!"

When they saw the girl's face clearly, the group almost sucked all the air out of their surroundings.

Even Wang Pinglu, who had long since given up, found it unbelievable!

Mingxi actually came back alive, and in such a peculiar way.

The purplish-black lightning that forcibly broke through the passage must have been a skill of her Thunder Yama Phoenix.

I have no idea how she did it.

Theoretically, the Spirit Passage can only be used by one person or one extraordinary being.

Therefore, it is best for beast tamers not to summon pets after entering the area.

Otherwise, it could easily cause the passage to collapse!

This girl is truly extraordinary!

When Mingxi woke up, it was already 11 p.m.

"Gold ingot!"

She screamed and sat up abruptly, her head covered in cold sweat.

"Miss Ming, you're awake?"

A gentle female voice came from not far away, and Mingxi looked over, panting.

Just then, around the corner of the room, a pretty woman carrying a washbasin walked towards her.

“Miss Ming, I am a staff member of the Secret Realm Management Bureau. My name is Meng Yue. I was sent by Director Wang to take care of you.”

Meng Yue quickly introduced herself and the reason for her presence.

"Thank you, Sister Meng. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Mingxi immediately realized her current situation. She had already left the secret passage and returned to the capital city.

Thinking about what happened in the passage of the living, her heart suddenly felt as heavy as if her own mother had died.

But she didn't hold a grudge against anyone and gave the staff member who called herself Meng Yue a grateful smile.

I thanked them sincerely.

Meng Yue placed the basin on the bedside table, wrung out the water, and handed the towel to Mingxi.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you're alright. You seemed to be having nightmares and you were sweating a lot. Here, wipe yourself off."

Mingxi thanked him again and accepted the towel.

"Now that you're awake, I won't disturb you any longer. This is my terminal number. You can contact me directly if you need anything."

Meng Yue, being very observant, noticed that Mingxi was in a bad mood and immediately took her leave.

"It's so late, Sister Meng, is it safe for you to go home alone?"

"Why don't you just stay with me for one night?"

Mingxi couldn't be an ingrate who would turn their backs on someone after they'd helped them. They had taken care of her for several hours, and she couldn't let them leave in the middle of the night!

If something goes wrong, she will be guilty of a terrible crime.

Meng Yue smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, my home is near this hotel. Besides, don't let my youthful appearance fool you, I'm an A-level Beast Tamer."

Disrespectful.

The Special Administration Bureau was indeed full of hidden talents.

Upon learning Meng Yue's level, Mingxi naturally stopped stopping her from leaving.

As soon as Meng Yue left, Mingxi's face was immediately clouded with gloom.

"Guangguang, can you hear my voice? How is Jin Yuanbao?"

She communicates with the realm of time through consciousness.

Guangguang didn't keep her waiting for long.

"Don't worry, Master, Lei Yan Yu Zhuo is fine."

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

Guangguang: "I would never lie to you, Master."

At this time, Mingxi didn't want to bring up old grievances, so she didn't mention the matter of returning to childhood and coexisting.

"What's the current situation with the gold ingot?"

A few hours ago, because Jin Yinlan and Lan both underwent exclusive evolution, their abilities were greatly enhanced, and they finally found a passage for living beings in the sandstorm.

But she was too late; the passageway kept collapsing.

Even though she traveled at the fastest speed possible using the Yin-Yang Wheel Platform, she still couldn't arrive before the passage closed.

The passageway was only about the width of a forearm.

She doesn't have the auspicious qualities of Little Silver Flower, so it's impossible for her to get out through such a small passage.

As she could only helplessly watch the passageway continue to shrink, and shrink further...
