The sight of the phoenix soaring through the sky attracted the attention of many.

On the ground, many spirit masters looked up and discussed the obviously irregular flight path.

Lu Yunzheng stood on the viewing platform at the edge of the training field, his gaze passing through the figure in mid-air, his brows furrowing slightly.

He raised his hand to stop the patrolling law enforcement officers who wanted to move forward to control the situation.

"I'll keep an eye on him, you don't need to worry about it."

The patrol officers had already prepared the tickets, but when they turned to look at their commander to make sure they hadn't misheard, they silently stopped what they were doing.

Lu Yunzheng thought for a moment, and before leaving, he added, "If you see this kid again, don't stop him, but report it to the authorities."

His gaze remained fixed on the ever-shrinking figure in the sky, his voice calm and undisturbed.

The patrol officers saluted their commander with serious expressions and noted down the order.

Lately, the commander, who would destroy the turtle's house if it didn't come out on its own, has developed a habit of taking regular walks.

So today I happened to witness this scene in the sky.

Lu Yunzheng looked up as the phoenix's silhouette streaked across the sky, and his mind began to rapidly deduce the possibilities.

Qin Ming flew from the training ground towards his residence at such a high speed and in such a hurried manner that either something urgent had happened or he had caused some trouble.

During this period, Qin Ming was extremely prominent to him.

From the abnormal energy consumption in the training room to the self-repair of the formation, from the frequent appearances of the Thousand-Armor Turtle to the lurking Xuanming Serpent, everything was related to this young man.

In the past, he never imagined that a new recruit who had never even been on the battlefield could cause him so much trouble, and yet the other party was completely innocent in every single incident.

—The cultivation room was booked in advance, the formation was built by myself, the Thousand-Armor Turtle came to me on its own initiative, and the Xuanming Serpent came on its own.

Qin Ming did nothing wrong, but all the troubles revolved around him.

This made it difficult for Lu Yunzheng to find a reason to warn or advise him.

Qin Ming was getting anxious. If there was a valid reason, then going along would be easier to resolve; if there wasn't, then it was an opportunity presented to him. He was just worried about not finding a chance to have a proper talk with this young man.

Lu Yunzheng slowly started walking, heading in the direction where Qin Ming had disappeared.

……

Xiao Bao, who had finally made contact with his master, sobbed as he explained his assessment of the snake to his eldest brother.

Unlike many people who are so frightened that their minds go blank and they can't remember anything, Xiao Bao remembers it all very clearly. That one glance was etched into his heart, and during the seemingly endless time that followed, he repeatedly pondered and carefully compared it.

He went through the snake encyclopedia in his mind again and again, and each comparison made him more certain that the other party was not an ordinary snake, not an ordinary spirit beast, but a big shot with a very special bloodline of a certain level.

Therefore, after listening to the explanation, Qin Ming felt as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and he also gained a lot of data analysis and judgment.

Although he knew the snake wasn't very big, Qin Ming still took it very seriously that it had frightened Xiao Bao to this extent.

The phoenix had reached its speed limit, the wind whistling in its ears, and Qin Ming's hair was blown into a mess, but his mind was clearer than ever.

"Little Fatty, you stay outside for a bit. I'll go negotiate to confirm the location and distract the other side."

Qin Ming's voice was torn apart by the wind, but every word clearly reached Xiao Pang's ears: "If we can't resolve this peacefully, we'll have to rely on you to teleport in and snatch it."

"Hmm!" Little Fatty's response was firm and resolute, his voice filled with unwavering seriousness.

"Besides, give me some delicious snake bait; it might be more effective than my words," Qin Ming added.

"Hmm!" Little Fatty readily agreed, quickly extending its paws to pull out the cooked spirit meat and high-quality spirit fruits, stuffing them all into Qin Ming's hand.

Keda was focused on getting on his way and had no interest in participating in Qin Ming and Xiaopang's conversation.

Faced with Qin Ming's several instructions, Little Fatty did not hesitate at all.

"Cang Xuan, I'll be relying on you to protect me secretly from now on," Qin Ming said as a final instruction.

A reliable response soon came from the contract space.

In a very short time, Qin Ming quickly devised a plan, while Keda had already crossed half the border and sped over.

The phoenix swooped down from the sky, the air currents created by its wings swirling the fallen leaves on the ground into a vortex.

Qin Ming jumped down before the phoenix had fully landed, bending his knees slightly to cushion the impact.

The chubby little boy in my arms let out a soft "uh" as he was jostled around, and then vanished in an instant.

Qin Ming took a deep breath and then pushed open the door to the room.

The room was dimly lit, with the curtains half-drawn, allowing only a few rays of sunlight to filter in.

He saw Xiao Bao, and he also saw the snake he was talking about.

The jade-like scales gleamed with a cold blue light in the dim light. The creature was small, even petite, and coiled into an exquisite spiral, its posture elegant and composed.

Her head was slightly raised, and her golden snake eyes narrowed eerily, making her look quite menacing.

His body was facing the doorway, his gaze calm and serene, showing no hostility or wariness, simply watching Qin Ming quietly.

Qin Ming's gaze lingered on the snake for less than half a second before shifting away.

He didn't stare at her, nor did he test or provoke her with his gaze. Instead, he spoke directly, his voice steady and powerful, each word enunciated clearly—

"No matter what kind of spirit beast you are, this is a human military base, and the one beside you is my spirit beast partner."

He spoke at a moderate pace and in a steady tone, as if stating an undeniable fact: "Hand him over intact and leave my room!"

The room fell silent for a moment. Xuanming Snake, who was thinking about how to take responsibility but was a beat slow to find the right words, suddenly didn't know how to respond.

During her subsequent stakeout, she discovered that the flying squirrel was not truly dead.

But the other person's aura was far too weak, so weak that it didn't seem like a feigned death, so she stayed and didn't leave.

Qin Ming's actions, however, did not give her a chance to explain.

Or perhaps, the Xuanming Serpent, who usually doesn't need much explanation, was a bit too inexperienced in this matter and failed to seize the opportunity.

She wagged her tail in confusion and sadness, but obediently left the flying squirrel's side to show that she meant no harm.

Meanwhile, Lu Yunzheng, who was hiding in the shadows, wondered what kind of wild spirit beast had entered the house, given Qin Ming's cautious handling of the situation.

But when he saw the situation inside the room, he was stunned.

The snake's appearance had indeed changed, and its aura had been concealed to the point of being almost imperceptible. It looked like an ordinary, slightly pretty little blue snake.

But Lu Yunzheng is no ordinary spirit master; his strength and vision cannot be fooled by simple illusions.

This is... a Xuanming Serpent!?

At this moment, Lu Yunzheng's expression changed drastically.
