Chapter 306: Chapter 54: Military Realm Affairs, Begin! (Final Chapter of This Volume)

"Old Chen!" Zhao Xing saw the travel-weary Chen Shijie and couldn’t help but laugh. "You finally came."

"Hey, there’s a big guy like me here too, and you only call Old Chen?" Long Xiao immediately felt displeased.

"Haha, my bad, Valiant Captain, please come in." Zhao Xing exaggeratedly said.

"Hmph, who wants to come to your place anyway." Long Xiao shook the box on his back and walked past Zhao Xing with his head down.

"Hiss, is he really mad?" Zhao Xing looked at Chen Shijie.

"It’s nothing." Chen Shijie shook his head with a smile, "He’s just stubborn."

"I thought you guys weren’t coming, and sold me off at a good price." Zhao Xing said, "Kept me waiting."

"The Tiger Flood Dragon Army indeed offered a good price." Chen Shijie said, "Want to know the exact amount?"

"Sure."

The two chatted as they walked.

"Wei Yuan sought me out three times."

"The last time, he offered a price of, one Sixth-Rank Divine Weapon, four Fifth-Rank Divine Weapons, and was even willing to give the Feng Qiu of the Heavenly Time Institute to exchange for you."

"That much?" Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow, he had to admit, offering that price took real guts. The eyes of the strong were truly sharp.

"To tell the truth, it’s a very tempting offer." Chen Shijie laughed, "One Sixth-Rank Divine Weapon, four Fifth-Rank Divine Weapons, entirely for me, Chen Shijie. And you are brought in by me, as long as I nod, by compensating with a Feng Qiu for the Divine Might Army, the Marquis would also give Marquis Mingwu face."

"I’m worth that much, and you didn’t sell?" Zhao Xing jokingly asked.

"I, Chen Shijie, do not sell comrades." Chen Shijie said lightly, "Whether you believe it or not, even if given a priceless treasure, I wouldn’t use it as a trade unless you yourself were willing to go."

"How do you know I am not willing to go?" Zhao Xing asked back.

"The things I did in Gucheng, how could they count for so much?" Chen Shijie laughed, "Look at what Wei Yuan said, life-saving grace, preaching grace, recognition grace... Once I heard, I knew you wanted to use me to refuse the Tiger Flood Dragon Army."

"You have great ambitions, though without arrogance, you have pride. The path to glory, why need others to give?"

"I didn’t even need to write again to ask your opinion."

Zhao Xing laughed.

A thousand golds easily attainable, a confidant hard to find.

Indeed, Old Chen really suited his taste.

Entering the room, they saw Long Xiao opening the box.

"Meow~"

A small head popped out from the box and meowed at Long Xiao.

But it seemed to sense something, suddenly looked at Zhao Xing.

"Meow? Meow!"

With a swoosh, the mountain cat immediately jumped into Zhao Xing’s arms, rubbing itself frantically.

"The little mountain cat has grown so big." Zhao Xing picked up the mountain cat. Before entering the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, the mountain cat and Zhao Xing were separated.

At that time, the mountain cat’s body length was less than half a meter.

Now it was over a meter, the fur was still gray-black patterned, but brighter, with a small tuft of golden hair on the forehead, and a line of purple-gold extending along the spine to the tail.

Such a size was still not considered big, but holding the mountain cat, Zhao Xing felt like holding a small mountain.

No wonder Long Xiao seemed a bit strained carrying the box, this guy alone weighed several hundred pounds!

"This..."

Zhao Xing instinctively pinched the mountain cat, then looked at Chen Shijie with a surprised expression.

The latter nodded: "It’s just as you think, the mountain cat is now a Seventh Grade Mutant Beast, having passed the cub phase and entered the growth phase."

"The mountain cat has developed golden bones, blood like mercury, bone marrow like thunderwood, vigorous vitality, raised until now, almost ate both me and Long Xiao out of house and home."

Thoughtful indeed, Chen Shijie had really put effort into it.

If the mountain cat was left in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, it would be impossible for him to take such good care of it, not to mention, let it evolve to the Seventh Grade.

Only someone like Chen Shijie, the Military Minister of Agriculture Officer, mastering the Marquis Transformation Skill, and with the aid of precious food, could let the mountain cat advance perfectly.

Seventh Grade possessing golden bones, bone marrow like thunderwood, truly rare!

In Zhao Xing’s words, this was a perfect refinement of the mountain cat’s attributes!

"What mountain cat, it has a name now!" Long Xiao discontentedly hugged the mountain cat, "Kid, I raised it so well, giving it a name is not too much, right?"

"Not too much." Zhao Xing laughed, "What’s its name?"

Chen Shijie rubbed his forehead.

"What do you mean, Old Chen, you still think the name I gave is not good?" Long Xiao stared at Chen Shijie.

"I didn’t." Chen Shijie waved his hand.

"Then why, when introducing it just now, did you say mountain cat, and not its name?"

"..." Chen Shijie was speechless, how come you’re so observant today?

Zhao Xing was puzzled: "So what’s its name?"

Long Xiao held up the mountain cat: "I gave it my surname, and gave it a domineering name."

"Its name is now Long Aotian!"

Zhao Xing: "(⊙_⊙)"

Chen Shijie: "(;￣д￣)"

Mountain Cat:

Seeing their expressions, Long Xiao immediately stared maliciously at Zhao Xing: "What, any objections?"

Zhao Xing: "No, no, how could I, it is indeed quite domineering."

The mountain cat being raised so well, Long Aotian it is.

Using his own surname for the mountain cat, it showed how much Long Xiao really loved the little guy.

If he showed any different opinion, Long Xiao might go berserk.

Besides, the mountain cat seemed quite happy hearing the name.

"Are you informed about the military tasks from the Ministry of War you need to complete next?" Chen Shijie asked.

"Aotian, be good, go out and play by yourself for a bit." Seeing the serious talk ahead, Long Xiao also let the mountain cat out.

"The military tasks of the Military Realm are a series of linked missions." Zhao Xing said, "The rank I obtain depends on how many tasks I complete."
