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

Zhou Honglie, the cousin, solemnly said, "Please rest assured, Uncle, we will definitely live up to your expectations. We will work with Elder Zhong and Elder Yong to manage your breeding base in an orderly manner and take good care of these extraordinary creatures you have cultivated. Moreover, we will never leak any experimental data."

He then added, "Without your orders, we wouldn't even tell our family."

Zhou Heng's lips curled up: "The main reason I want to become a breeder is for the future development of the family. Experimental data and such don't need to be deliberately hidden from the family's higher-ups."

Grandson Zhou Yongchuan was very tactful: "That's true, but everything has a priority. These extraordinary creatures in the breeding base are your hard work. Even if you want to use them to repay the family, it should be in your name. We are just your assistants, so naturally we wouldn't dare to overstep our bounds."

Zhou Heng was very pleased with the three's attitude: "You guys go and rest first, and start reporting to me officially from tomorrow."

The three of them said in unison, "No problem."

After the three younger members of the Zhou family left, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon jumped off Zhou Heng's shoulder, transformed into a two-meter-tall creature, and looked Zhou Heng over with a strange gaze.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel strange: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The Eternal Night Dragon couldn't help but complain, "You old man, you really know how to talk to people in different ways. Before, you said you wanted to become a powerful breeder for the sake of the six of us, but now you say it's to repay the family."

Zhou Heng remained calm: "This is not contradictory. On one hand, it is to help the six of you evolve to a higher quality in the future, and on the other hand, it is also a way to repay the family during this period."

The Eternal Night Dragon raised its head, looking arrogantly as if it had seen through everything: "Cunning old Deng, you've manipulated everyone, including your elders."

Zhou Heng scoffed: "I don't have that kind of ability."

He knew perfectly well that the elders in his family liked him mainly because of his exceptional talent.

While personality traits also play a role, they are merely icing on the cake.

There are plenty of good-natured juniors in the family, but the eyes of Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong will not linger on those with poor talent for even a moment.

The Eternal Night Demon Dragon felt that Zhou Heng wasn't telling the truth and couldn't help but snort: "Old Deng really knows how to put on an act."

Caiyi Qingfeng jumped out to refute, "Dad's elders like him because he is talented, has a good personality, and is grateful. He is impeccable in his dealings with people, whether it is his family or outsiders."

The Eternal Night Dragon, with its sharp teeth and outspoken nature, remarked, "Isn't this just knowing how to treat people differently based on their status?"

The Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix, now shrunk to the size of a palm, flew off Zhou Heng's shoulder and patted the Eternal Night Demon Dragon's head with its wing: "Tyrant, are you just jealous that Daddy is loved by everyone and admired by flowers? Do you think everyone is as annoying as you?"

"Old Deng likes to put on airs, and you, Little Phoenix, also like to borrow the tiger's power. You two are truly in cahoots." The Eternal Night Demon Dragon stretched out its claws and made two feints at the Rainbow Winged Phoenix, but the Rainbow Winged Phoenix nimbly dodged them.

Zhou Heng deliberately put on a serious expression and stared intently at the Eternal Night Demon Dragon: "Tyrant, I admit that I am not some compassionate saint, nor even a truly good person, but I have nothing to say about you, right?"

Faced with Zhou Heng's gaze, the Eternal Night Demon Dragon was speechless.

Caiyi Qingfeng immediately said, "Dad is the best person in my heart."

Fu Haiyinlong quickly added, "Whether my father is a good person or a bad person, he will always be my most respected and beloved father."

The Lucky Qilin King lowered its head and nuzzled Zhou Heng's arm: "As a Qilin, I can vaguely sense a person's good and evil. Father is already considered very kind among humans."

The Devouring Star Kunpeng appeared quite objective: "I also think Father is a good person. Father has such a noble status in the human world, yet he has never acted recklessly."

The Titan Lord glared at the Night Dragon and chose to praise one while belittling the other: "Dad is indeed a good person. If the Tyrant were a human with Dad's status and position, who knows how many bad things he would do."

Zhou Heng understood that these beasts were viewing him through a biased lens: "How can I be as good as you all say? My temperament is no different from that of an ordinary person. I'm neither good nor bad; I'm just an average person."

As Zhou Heng's loyal supporter, Caiyi Qingfeng supported him without any reason: "Anyway, I just think Dad is good. Dad, don't listen to the tyrant's nonsense."

Zhou Heng smiled and shook his head: "It's mainly because you are my contractual partners that you think I'm good."

Although the Lucky Qilin King has a rather innocent and simple personality, he can occasionally utter a philosophical remark: "But the fact that we are your contracted partners cannot be changed."

Zhou Heng put his arm around the neck of the Lucky Qilin King and leaned against it, saying, "You're right."

The Eternal Night Dragon secretly sized up Zhou Heng, then forced a smile and said, "Old Deng, I was just making a casual remark, you're not angry, are you?"

Zhou Heng stepped forward and lightly kicked the Eternal Night Demon Dragon's hind leg: "Look at you, acting like a coward. How could I possibly be angry with you? Don't I know your personality?"

The Eternal Night Dragon, with its thick hide, felt nothing: "You looked so serious just now, you scared me."

Zhou Heng suddenly revealed a mischievous smile: "I was just teasing you, wasn't I? What? You're allowed to tease me, but I'm not allowed to joke with you, is that it?"

Seeing that Zhou Heng wasn't really angry, the Eternal Night Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, but still threw a tantrum, saying, "You've hurt my young heart, you must compensate me with two fourth-tier extraordinary creatures."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but sigh, "It's true what they say, 'Old habits die hard.' How can you be so greedy?"

The Eternal Night Dragon, ever bold, became even more daring: "I don't care, I don't care, I just want to eat delicious food!"

Zhou Heng reached out and pinched the Eternal Night Dragon's cheek, tugging at it: "Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you. How about I give you three fourth-tier extraordinary creatures later?"

The Eternal Night Dragon immediately grinned: "Old Deng, you've finally been generous this time."

Zhou Heng released his grip, revealing a slightly indulgent smile: "In at most two or three months, you will advance to the fifth rank. There are still hundreds of fourth-rank extraordinary creatures in the Myriad Spirits Building. There's no point in keeping them. It's better to feed them all to you."

The Eternal Night Dragon suddenly realized, "So that's why you're suddenly being so kind! You want to use my stomach to clear out your inventory!"
