There's not much to say about the octopus shark's appearance; it's as if the creator got drunk and just randomly pieced it together.

What Lov was looking at was not the octopus shark, but the abyssal energy within it.

Octopus sharks with a strong abyssal aura appear even more deep in color in the water. Of the eight octopus sharks in the reservoir, only three have been purified.

"Hehe, it seems like five of your octopus sharks haven't evolved yet."

Love spoke casually.

"I'm a beast tamer, and these octopus sharks are quite interesting. I want to take them back and study them!"

"Research? Abyssal beasts can't survive in the Twilight Realm for long. You're destined to waste your time. You might as well purify it and recoup your investment. I remember this fishing platform is quite expensive. The annual fee must be at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan."

"You're Xiaoli's friend, right? Although I don't know why Xiaoli has a friend like you, you should know what's needed to purify the abyss energy."

"You mean you're doing this for Xiaoli's own good?"

"Then why did you have Xiaoli purify those three octopus sharks? Is this your first time here and you don't know?" Lof sneered.

Hu Qi sensed something was wrong and cautiously raised his hand, saying, "Master Chen is indeed here for the first time. Xiao Li helped purify an octopus shark."

"As for why there were three, the other two were caught by me. Xiaoli was trying to make money, so she cleaned them up very quickly, and I didn't even have time to explain."

"Later, Master Chen said that he didn't need to purify it, he just needed to help keep an eye on it, and he would also give her a reward, so Xiaoli gave up."

Xiaoli nodded, indicating that Hu Qi was right.

"I see, I misunderstood!"

"Xiaoli is my friend, so I couldn't help being a little rude just now!"

Luo Fu's question was almost an interrogation. Although Chen Jiuge was in a good mood, she was also somewhat dissatisfied. However, since that was what he had said, Chen Jiuge couldn't say anything more.

After this conversation, the Five Elements Angels and Bai Sheng finally went up to Diaoyutai.

"Angel?"

Chen Jiuge's pupils contracted. There were six people in front of him, five of whom had two pairs of wings on their backs and extremely unusual appearances. They were clearly not ordinary people.

Chen Jiuge thought of the Luo family that Die Dongxue had mentioned.

"Oh? You seem to know me?" Lof noticed the change in Chen Jiuge's expression.

The two angels, Gold and Fire, took two steps forward without making a sound, and ended up surrounding Chen Jiuge.

Taking out the jade token, Chen Jiuge explained, "I know the Luo family, but I don't know who you are."

"So you're from the Yun family. No wonder, it seems it was all a misunderstanding."

"By the way, Xiaoli is my friend. Is it alright if I take her with me first?"

“This guest, I will arrange another seafood merchant for you,” Bai Sheng said at just the right moment.

"In addition, I will waive the fishing fee for you this time."

The fishing platform location is not free; each time it is opened, an additional fee of one thousand yuan is required, and each opening can only be used for three days. If you want to extend the use, you need to pay more.

"Ah."

"what's your name?"

As Luo Fu walked down from the fishing platform, pulling Xiao Li along, he suddenly turned around and asked.

"Chen Jiuge!"

"Chen Jiuge? I'll remember that."

After Luo Fu and his group left, Bai Sheng only said a few polite words. Although Chen Jiuge was a member of the Yun family, he didn't actually have the surname Yun, so there was no need to give him too much face.

Soon only two people remained on the field. Hu Qi asked with some fear, "Master Chen, those were the Luo family just now, the Luo family of the inner circle angels?"

"Ah."

"My God, it's actually the Angel Luo family! I actually met people from the Angel Luo family. Those people are angels, aren't they? They're so noble."

Seeing Hu Qi rambling incoherently, Chen Jiuge suddenly asked, "Do you like the Luo family that much?"

"Like?" Hu Qi suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's not necessarily true. I probably just like the power of the Luo family. If I had the status of the Luo family, then I imagine life would be unimaginably wonderful."

"In the eyes of a behemoth like the Luo family, I am probably just a tiny ant, no, I might not even be considered an ant."

"If I were really asked to serve the young masters and ladies of the Luo family, I probably wouldn't live much longer."

Chen Jiuge said with great interest, "Looking at you just now, I thought you were, well, the kind of person who would risk your life for the Luo family."

"How could that be? There are plenty of people who would risk their lives for the Luo family. What am I compared to them?"

"However, Master Chen, it would be great if you could work for the Luo family; it would be much more prestigious than working for the Yun family."

"hehe."

Chen Jiuge chuckled twice but did not reply.

On the fishing platform, silence returned until the next time the bait floated.

"crash"

A splash of water broke the surface of the sea, but there was no sound; this was Chen Jiuge's own voiceover.

Its body, over a meter long, twisted, contorted, and stiffened like a black rubber tube, making it extremely uncomfortable to watch.

"Master Chen, this is a blackwater dragon!" Hu Qi excitedly threw down his fishing rod.

"Black Water Dragon?" Chen Jiuge looked at the black, strip-shaped creature that had been thrown onto the stage and could only slowly wriggle with a questioning expression.

"Master Chen, don't underestimate it; it truly possesses the bloodline of the Black Dragon!"

"Moreover, it is the bloodline of the Abyss Black Dragon, although the concentration is very weak, but that does not affect its value!"

"The market price for a black dragon is basically over 100,000 yuan!"

"That's not bad."

Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised. Ten thousand yuan was not much to him, but it was a huge sum for ordinary people. Deep-sea fishing was indeed a business that could make him rich overnight!
"Greetings, gentlemen! I am Xiao Hao, a seafood merchant!"

"Wait, aren't you the boy who purified the Ghost Eye Shark before?"

Hu Qi asked in surprise, "The money to purify a Ghost-Eyed Shark isn't even enough for you to rest for a few days? Are you out of your mind?"

Xiao Hao gave a bitter smile on his bloodless face: "Sir, you are joking. We who are willing to be seafood merchants always have reasons that we have to do it. I am still young, so I think I should be fine."

"Sir, would you like me to purify this black water dragon for you?"

Xiao Hao looked at the black water dragon on the ground with a burning gaze. Once it was purified, he could earn at least several hundred yuan.

"No need," Chen Jiuge said calmly.

Xiao Hao was a little disappointed, but then he heard Chen Jiuge continue, "Put them in the reservoir for me. If anything happens to the fish, just let me know and I'll give you a reward!"

After saying that, Chen Jiuge threw out a handful of coins.

Although Xiao Hao looked young and had a terrible complexion, his cultivation level was not low; he was a level three martial artist. Chen Jiuge was not intentionally insulting him, and he accepted the money with precision.

"Not bad. Now, just keep a close eye on the fish in the reservoir." "Thank you, sir."

Hundred Beasts Pavilion

Die Dongxue looked somewhat uneasy at the shimmering crystal in her hand. This was a secret treasure left behind by her father when he was covering the rear. It could store a person's aura, and as long as that person got close, it would emit light. The brighter the light, the closer the distance.

The crystal can test a very large area, almost half of the outer ring. Die Dongxue didn't know if the crystal had been shining before, but she discovered it now because of a sudden whim.

The brightness is not very stable, which means it is far away from me. Don't panic.

Just as she had calmed herself down, the crystal stopped flashing and its brightness began to stabilize, which filled Die Dongxue with boundless fear.

As time passed and the brightness increased, Die Dongxue began to recall the previous scenes in her mind, and the fear in her heart became more and more obvious.

"Click"

The sudden opening of the door caused Die Dongxue to shudder.

Axi paused for a moment and said, "What are you doing? Am I that scary?"

"It's nothing," Die Dongxue said with a forced smile.

"alright."

Axi took out a contract and said, "Now that you're also a member of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, you should make some contributions."

"Mr. Chen said you might be good at reception. Here is the employment contract for you. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."

Die Dongxue took the contract with a bit of a daze. It listed the job duties and salary.

"One hundred yuan a month?" Die Dongxue was very dissatisfied with this salary.

One hundred yuan isn't even enough for one breakfast. Isn't that an insult?

Axi explained, "One hundred coins is the base salary. If you sell something, you can get a commission. Currently, the highest-paid staff in the Hundred Beasts Pavilion can earn more than three thousand coins a month."

"However, whether or not you can get this money depends on your own abilities."

Seemingly noticing the dissatisfaction in Die Dongxue's eyes, Axi slowly said, "Do you know what the range of monthly wages is for a normal person in the outer circle?"

"An ordinary person without much skill usually earns between fifty and one hundred yuan a month in the outer circle!"

"Those who reach the fourth level of cultivation will see their income increase by about two to five times. If they have special skills, it can increase several times more. Our reception staff at the Hundred Beasts Pavilion earn at least 1,500 yuan a month, which is extremely high in the entire outer circle."

"Not to mention, with the outer circle in such chaos, my Hundred Beasts Pavilion still has staff dormitories to guarantee your safety. The food in the canteen is all from ferocious beasts, spirit rice, and there are even secret cultivation rooms."

"These benefits are among the best in the entire outer circle!"

“I don’t know your background, but I imagine it’s not bad. However, judging from your current appearance, you must be down on your luck. Since you’ve become an ordinary person, you should accept the life of an ordinary person!” Axi said earnestly.

"By the way, Mr. Chen won't be back for a few more days. Whether you're willing to accept this job will actually affect his attitude towards you later."

"I understand!"

Her long, black hair obscured Die Dongxue's face, so Axi couldn't see her face, but she probably wasn't very happy.

After leaving Die Dongxue's room, Axi muttered, "I wonder what the master is thinking."

Chen Jiuge had vaguely hinted that Die Dongxue's identity was extraordinary. Although Axi didn't know exactly how high Die Dongxue's status was, she understood that she was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Can a fallen noblewoman really handle the job of reception?"

Asi is not optimistic about this.

next day
Wearing her work uniform, Die Dongxue stood at the reception desk. Whether it was the change in clothing or the fact that there were no cosmetics for women in the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, Die Dongxue looked completely different from before.

After a night of internal struggle, Die Dongxue had actually accepted her current identity, but her first client today almost made her lose her temper.

"This is the Hundred Beasts Pavilion?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Yun family has actually started to extend their reach to the outer circle. That's quite rare!" Luo Fu looked around the layout of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion with some curiosity.

The Yun family's main business is implantation equipment, a high-tech product that outsiders cannot afford.

"You, yes, it's you. Introduce yourself to me."

Die Dongxue lowered her head, not daring to look at the person who had wiped out her family, her gentle face filled with painful struggle.

"Huh? What's going on? Is your service this bad?" Love said, somewhat annoyed.

However, with Xiaoli pulling him back, he managed to suppress his anger.

After taking Xiaoli away, Lov decided to plan a normal life for the girl who had helped him.

The erosion of the abyss energy has reduced her vitality, but that's nothing to worry about. With the Wood Angel there, it will be replenished in time.

Lov has already resolved Xiaoli's loan, although he used some violent methods, since loan sharks are hardly good people.

Finally, there's the issue of security.

Xiao Li's cultivation level is not high, only a level three martial artist, which is at the bottom of the outer circle. Not to mention that Xiao Li's martial arts cultivation is only for strengthening her blood and qi and purifying the abyss qi faster. Her combat power is almost zero, and the cultivation method she practices is also very ordinary.

Lov has many ways to enhance Xiaoli's combat power, but now that he's been exiled, his resources are limited. After much thought, he thinks that with the money he has, using a ferocious beast is the most suitable option.

Amidst the piercing gazes of others, Die Dongxue walked with difficulty toward the two.

"Hmm, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before!" Love felt a little tempted.

However, after feeling the warmth of Xiaoli's palm, his eyes instantly cleared.

"Introduce me to the strongest ferocious beast, preferably one with a gentle temperament and easy to control," Love said calmly.

Die Dongxue glanced at Xiaoli, a crazy thought running through her mind: "This woman is very important to him, isn't she? If I introduce him to an extremely out-of-control ferocious beast, wouldn't that let him experience the pain of losing someone close to him?"

"Young Master Luo, you've arrived. Let me introduce you!"

Chen Jiuge appeared at the gate very just in time.

He still smelled fishy and looked tired.

"Hmm, Chen Jiuge, why are you back? Weren't you fishing?" Luo Fu asked curiously.

Could it be that he knew his identity and came back specifically for that reason?

"I caught a black water dragon. I heard it won't live much longer. I'll come back as soon as possible and study it. The Abyss Sea is there, and I can't run away. It's fine to go there whenever I want."

Without leaving a trace, Hen Jiuge looked at Xiao Li and said with some emotion, "Kind-hearted girls are never too unlucky."

These words were spoken to Die Dongxue, who had stepped down. Chen Jiuge did not want her to get involved with other people, especially within his shop, as this would bring him a lot of trouble.

"Okay, I'll prepare a ferocious beast for Xiaoli to protect her safety."

"Small things."

Chen Jiuge snapped his fingers and said, "I am the chief beast tamer of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. I have bred most of the beasts here. If you want to talk about the most suitable one, this one is probably the only one."

"A level six ferocious beast, the Blood Flood Dragon. With enough dragon blood, one can break through to level seven. Moreover, this Blood Flood Dragon is quite intelligent. Once its cultivation level is further improved, it can communicate with others in a simple way."

"Although dragons are proud, the Blood Flood Dragon was bred from the Dark Blood Beast and does not possess this characteristic." (End of Chapter)
