“Uh… I don’t remember having such an exotic beast inside the Imperial Beast Garden,” said Yang Pojun, somewhat confused.
“I too have never seen this creature before. Even when I came here in the past, I never noticed it,” Yang Wanshan said.
Fang Lin didn’t care what it was. What mattered was that this little critter was just too cute; it had completely stopped him in his tracks.
Seeing Fang Lin lingering there unwilling to leave, the others were at a loss for words. They were surprised to discover this side of Fang Lin, leaving them speechless.
Chirp chirp!
The little fuzzy creature suddenly let out a couple of cries. Its large eyes filled with urgency, seemingly trying to indicate something to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin didn’t understand what it was trying to say but found the little fuzzball to be highly amusing. The more he looked at it, the more he adored it and didn’t want to leave.
“Fang Lin, if you really like this little beast, then I’ll give it to you,” said Yang Pojun.
Upon hearing these words, Fang Lin turned around with a touched expression: “Really?”
Yang Pojun said nonchalantly, “It’s just a rare exotic beast, there are plenty of them in the Imperial Beast Garden. We won’t mind giving away one or two.”
Yang Wanshan frowned a little, “Fourth Brother, although Fang Lin is a friend of our royal family, we don’t know where this beast comes from. To recklessly give it to Fang Lin may not be appropriate.”
Yang Pojun took out a Message Transmitting Jade Slip, “Let me ask Father Emperor. If he agrees, we will give this little beast to Fang Lin.”
At that moment, Yang Pojun used the Message Transmitting Jade Slip to communicate with Yang Jianye.
Yang Wanshan appeared slightly perturbed, yet he didn’t show it too overtly. The four men behind him exchanged looks but remained silent.
After a while, Yang Pojun said with a smile, “Father has agreed. Furthermore, he has informed me that this golden beast came in clinging to some other exotic beast. We have no idea of its origin. Although it has been kept here for two years, there is nothing unusual about it, and it should not be dangerous.”
A slight smile appeared on Yang Wanshan’s face, “If Father agrees, then I naturally won’t say anything.”
Looking at the golden beast within the array, Fang Lin was beyond ecstatic.
Before Yang Pojun walked towards the array, he took out a Token and placed it on the light curtain of the array, causing a small piece of it to disappear immediately. That little golden creature rolled out from where the light had disappeared.
Fang Lin grabbed it and held it in his hands. The golden beast felt exceedingly soft and seemed like a small ball of meat that he could squish and mold as he pleased.
While sitting in Fang Lin’s hands, the golden creature did not seem scared. It merely let out a couple of chirps, its eyes blinking as if it were curious about Fang Lin.
Fang Lin pet its little head and mumbled to himself, “Since you’re all golden furred, I’ll name you Jin.”
To his surprise, this little fuzzball actually made a face of disgust. It seemed very unsatisfied with the name Fang Lin had given it.
Fang Lin laughed, “From now on, I’ll call you Jin.”
With that, he put Jin into the Beast Bag at his waist.
The group continued on their way. Even though the adorable beast Fang Lin got seemed to be useless, he was in high spirits. He was happily hopping about as they walked. If there hadn’t been others around, he would even be humming a tune.
Yang Wanshan and the others were somewhat lost for words. Something about Fang Lin didn’t seem right to them. The fact that he was so happy to receive a useless creature was truly incomprehensible.
Of course, they would never understand how much Fang Lin adored these outwardly cute and gentle creatures. In his previous life, even as the Pill Sovereign, Fang Lin had kept a lot of cute creatures as pets.
The various exotic beasts kept within the Imperial Beast Garden were a real eye-opener for Fang Lin. Many of them he had never seen before, such as unusual snakes that looked like bamboo and three-eyed frogs, among other things. Nothing was normal.
In comparison, the golden beast Fang Lin received was quite mundane. Aside from being adorable, it did not possess any other unique characteristics.
After passing through the middle layer, they arrived at the innermost region of the Imperial Beast Garden via a teleportation array.
Here, all the creatures kept captive were demon beasts. Not a single common beast was to be found. The moment Fang Lin entered, he immediately felt an intense surge of demon qi, reminiscent of the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.
Of course, in comparison to the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, this place was far less menacing. Even a hundred Imperial Beast Gardens would probably fall short of a single Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.
“Fang Lin, the demon qi here is very intense. If you take this pill, you’ll feel better,” Yang Wanshan handed over a pill. They had taken one themselves too.
Fang Lin smiled without taking the pill, “Thank you, Brother Yang Wanshan, but the demon qi here doesn’t affect me much.”
Yang Pojun also turned to face Yang Wanshan, “Brother, you are not aware of this, but Fang Lin and I have been through the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard. The demon qi there is truly terrifying. Compared to that, the demon qi here is nothing.”
Yang Wanshan’s face fell, and a hint of annoyance flashed through his heart. What was he trying to say? If both of them were unaffected by the demon qi here, didn’t it make him look weak?
However, Yang Wanshan was a man of great composure and he hid his feelings quite well.
The outer and middle layers of the Imperial Beast Garden were forests, but the innermost layer presented a completely different scenario.
Prison!
Yes, the innermost part of the Imperial Beast Garden was a cold and dark prison filled with cages forged from steel as thick as arms. Each cage was standalone, each holding a single demon beast.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Ow ow ow!
Boom Boom Boom!
As if detecting human scent, the once quiet prison was suddenly filled with noise.
The roars, growls, and impacts of demon beasts striking their cells reverberated constantly, creating an atmosphere like the realm of purgatory. Any ordinary person would have been frightened out of their wits had they been here.
“It’s okay. These cells were all built from Hundred Refining Steel and further reinforced by arrays. They can’t break out,” said Yang Wanshan with a smile.
The group moved along the pathway, with cells full of different demon beasts on either side, all glaring at Fang Lin and the rest with eyes full of malice and hatred.
However, Fang Lin also noticed that the demon beasts here seemed to be generally low-tier, mostly One Transformation or Two-Times Transformation Realm beasts. He had not seen any Three Transformations Realm Beast.
“Aren’t there any Three Transformations Realm beasts here?” Fang Lin couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Pojun answered, “Of course, there are. But beasts of Three Transformations are as powerful as a Heavenly Origin powerhouse, so they are kept in a deeper section.”
Fang Lin asked another question, “Are there any beasts surpassing the Three Transformations Realm here?”
Hearing this, Yang Pojun’s face changed slightly, “There are!”
