Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Zhou Heng withdrew his mental energy, which had been scanning the storage bracelet, and fixed his gaze on Ji Chao's face. His tone was flat: "You've emptied the Ji family's coffers, even their ancestral heirlooms, and given them all to me. Without working capital, how will your Ji family's Baoxiang Group operate? Aren't you afraid it'll go bankrupt tomorrow?"

Ji Chao dared not conceal anything; his tone was brimming with obvious flattery and excitement: "Rest assured, my lord! Our Ji family is fortunate to have pledged allegiance to you. On Xuanxiao Star, everyone now has to give us face. Even if we use all of the Ji family's liquid assets, Baoxiang Group can easily obtain large amounts of financing from banks. Many companies and forces that were previously out of reach are now proactively expressing their willingness to invest and cooperate! We..."

Zhou Heng interrupted him, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "You think you can borrow my coattails with this worthless junk?"

Ji Chao felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that a crucial step had arrived.

Far from backing down, he held the cyan storage bracelet even higher, almost raising it to Zhou Heng's eyes, his voice resolute: "Please accept these treasures, Master! This is just the beginning! The Ji family's subsequent gains will continue to be offered as tribute! If Master commands us to go east, we will never go west! If Master disapproves of our actions, the entire Ji family will never dare to cross that line, preferring to maintain the status quo rather than tarnish Master's reputation!"

Zhou Heng looked at his reckless attitude, remained silent for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand with his five fingers slightly spread.

The storage bracelet was pulled by an invisible hand, lightly leaving Ji Chao's palm and falling into Zhou Heng's hand, who then put it in his pocket.

"What can your Ji family do for me?"

Zhou Heng's tone was unreadable: "You're just a second-tier senior beast tamer right now. The strongest member of your Ji family, your grandfather, was only a fifth-tier battle general beast tamer. What use are you to me?"

This question is blunt and brutal.

Ji Chao was prepared. He raised his head and said, word by word, "My lord, my talent is ordinary, my strength is meager, and my family's power is insignificant in your eyes. However, according to the sayings of six thousand years ago, I can provide you with emotional value and amusement!"

Zhou Heng seemed to have heard a funny joke: "Emotional value? Using those clichés I've heard since I was a child, so many times I'm sick of them, to flatter me? Ji Chao, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"No! My lord!"

Ji Chao suddenly raised his voice, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "My lord, you are of noble status and possess unparalleled talent. From childhood to adulthood, I imagine there are countless people who have pledged their loyalty to you, willing to serve you like a beast of burden, or even a dog!"

He changed the subject, his tone becoming low and serious: "But those people, in essence, cannot submit to you like a real dog. They are ambitious, calculating, and unable to let go of their pride and dignity. Their talk of being a dog is just a metaphor."

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes: "How are you any different from them?"

Ji Chao did not answer with words. Under the watchful eyes of Zhou Heng, the butler Lao Huang, and even Caiyi Qingfeng, who was casting a curious glance from not far away, Ji Chao made a move that stunned everyone.

Without warning, he knelt down, emitting clear and continuous barks: "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The barking of dogs sounded particularly jarring on the tranquil lakeside.

For the first time, Zhou Heng's eyes showed obvious surprise, even astonishment.

He never expected that Ji Chao, a wealthy second-generation heir who was well-known on Xuanxiao Star and admired by many even after leaving Qianyin Blessed Land, could be so ruthless as to completely abandon all dignity and face.

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

The only sounds by the lake were the faint rustling of the wind across the surface and Ji Chao's slightly comical yet unsettling barking.

Finally, Zhou Heng raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his face showing an extremely speechless, even somewhat indescribable expression.

Looking at Ji Chao, who was trying so hard to please him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity: "Alright, alright, get up! Don't do this again."

Ji Chao immediately stood up. He raised his head, his face showing no embarrassment, only pure expectation and obedience: "My lord, I am willing to do anything, anything, to make you happy!"

Zhou Heng waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to continue the topic.

He looked at Ji Chao, his tone returning to its usual calm: "I have seen your loyalty. I have also received the Ji family's goodwill."

He paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the ever-changing light of the sky in the distance of the blessed land, and gave a promise that carried immense weight for Ji Chao: "After you go back, manage your Ji family's Baoxiang Group well, and the Ji family will only get better and better in the future."

Ji Chao's heart pounded wildly, almost bursting out of his chest. He prostrated himself again, kowtowing repeatedly, his voice trembling with emotion: "Thank you for your grace, Lord! Lord...your subordinate..."

"Alright!"

Zhou Heng interrupted Ji Chao, his tone tinged with impatience: "Stop talking nonsense, get out of here!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll take my leave! I'll take my leave!" Ji Chao responded repeatedly, quickly getting up from the ground.

He brushed the sand off his clothes and returned to his original appearance, but the immense joy on his face was impossible to hide.

Ji Chao respectfully took a few steps back, then turned and walked towards the Flowing Cloud Sparrow that was stopped a little distance away.

His steps were light and his back straight.

Ji Chao knew he had won his gamble.

To Zhou Heng, he was actually of no use whatsoever.

The Ji family's wealth is completely dispensable to those beast tamers.

In the past, the Ji family could be considered ants in Zhou Heng's eyes, but now they are not even worthy of Zhou Heng's attention, who has become the minor leader of the alliance.

The strongest person in the Ji family is Ji Chao's grandfather, who is only a fifth-tier warrior beast tamer. For Zhou Heng now, even without relying on the strength of the Zhou family, he can easily kill a large group of fifth-tier warrior beast tamers with just his own fourth beast, the Star Devouring Kunpeng.

Therefore, Ji Chao had no choice but to fawn over Zhou Heng without any scruples.

As long as Zhou Heng finds it even slightly interesting, Ji Chao's efforts will not have been in vain.

For this reason, Ji Chao is capable of doing anything without any moral boundaries.

This was the only thing he could do.

Because nothing else could impress Zhou Heng.

As for losing face? Or losing all dignity?

Ji Chao sneered inwardly, completely oblivious to the fact that he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Zhou Heng is guaranteed to become a ninth-tier Emperor Beast Tamer in the future, and there is even hope that he can become a tenth-tier Supreme Beast Tamer. To be a dog of such an existence is an immense honor! An opportunity that countless people would rather die than have!

From then on, on Xuanxiao Star, the Ji family would be draped in a tiger skin that no one dared to provoke.

Within the family, Ji Chao will also possess unimaginable prestige due to his relationship with Zhou Heng.

For Ji Chao, the position of clan leader was completely secure.

Then, the lark took flight, carrying the excited Ji Chao away from the Blessed Land of a Thousand Sounds.
