Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 735 The Young Martial Emperor - Captured!

Because of his surprise, Bai Qi did not lower his voice, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"You are... Bai Qi?!"

Zhuge Chen put down the cub in his hands, looked at the familiar face not far away, and could no longer maintain his original calm demeanor. He strode over directly.

"It really is you! What are you doing here?"

"I should be the one saying that."

Bai Qi made no attempt to hide his surprise. He was about to ask Zhuge Chen why he was there when he noticed that Bai Wujie and the others were looking at him with puzzled expressions.

"Brother Bai Qi, do you know Teacher Wu?"

Zhang Fugui's gaze swept back and forth between the two men before he asked.

"Teacher Wu?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that Zhuge Chen was probably using an alias, and said, "We do know each other, but it's been a while since we last saw each other. I just didn't expect to run into you here."

Zhuge Chen stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Zhang, my real name is Zhuge Chen, Wu Chen is just an alias."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fugui waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's normal to use a pseudonym when traveling. Back in my day, I, Old Zhang, had a few bad experiences... cough cough, never mind, let's not talk about these things. Come on, since you two know each other, it'll be even more convenient."

As he spoke, Zhang Fugui gestured to his servant to bring up the three imperial cubs that Bai Qi had sent, saying, "These are the imperial cubs that Brother Bai Qi just sent. Teacher Zhuge, would you like to see if they can be used by my brat?"

"An imperial cub?"

Zhuge Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Bai Qi, who had an innocent expression, and sighed, saying, "Theoretically speaking, they're all the same. However, for your young master's safety, perhaps we should raise a few lower-level ones first?"

"Is that so..."

Zhang Fugui nodded vigorously upon hearing this, but showed no intention of returning the imperial cubs. He simply tossed them to a servant beside him and said, "Then let's raise these for now, and the young master can use them later."

"Yes, sir."

The servant acknowledged the order and withdrew. Zhang Fugui looked at Xiao Huang and the others and said, "Brother Xiao, I've recently acquired some antiques, but I don't know if they're genuine. Could you help me take a look? And Brother Bai, why don't you come along too?"

"It would be my great honor."

Xiao Huang smiled slightly and left with Zhang Fugui, while Bai Wujie also pulled the bewildered Zhao Ye and quickly followed.

In the huge backyard, only Bai Qi and Zhuge Chen remained.

Bai Qi watched the group leave, then pulled Zhuge Chen into the secret realm base.

"Zhuge Chen, what are you doing here?"

"What happened after the war? Are the teachers alright?"

"What exactly is the Death Round Table trying to do? And what about the Bullskin Snake? Have you seen that guy?"

"besides……"

A barrage of questions left Zhuge Chen speechless until Bai Qi realized he had lost his composure, at which point Zhuge Chen finally spoke.

"To be honest, I'm not really sure how I got here. After you were swept away by that long river, I was also caught up in it, and when I woke up, I was here."

Zhuge Chen smiled wryly and said, "As for the course of the war, I'm not entirely sure either."

Bai Qi remained silent upon hearing this. Considering Deathwing's previous pursuit of him, the Death Round Table's plan must have ended in failure. With his teacher and the others around, there shouldn't be any problems.

The question now is whether anyone else, besides Zhuge Chen, has been drawn into the river of time.

"Zhuge Chen, do you remember anyone else besides you who might have been involved?"

Zhuge Chen paused for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure about the others, but Bai Qiucha seems to have been affected as well, though I don't know his exact location right now."

"Acha?"

Bai Qi scratched his head. He originally thought he was the only one, but he didn't expect to run into Zhuge Chen and learn that Acha had also been involved.

This river of time is really something else, isn't it afraid of changing history by involving so many people?

This vast river of time has spanned countless years; where could he possibly find Acha? And even if he knew the exact timeline, in such a vast world, there's simply no way to begin.

It seems we need to pay more attention in the future; the bony dragon is quite a prominent creature in human history.

"By the way, how long have you been in this era? How did you come to know Zhang Fugui?"

Bai Qi calmed down for a moment before asking about Zhuge Chen's experiences.

"It's been about a month since I woke up. About two weeks ago, I was invited to Zhang Fugui's house because I accidentally saved his family."

Zhuge Chen said, "When I first arrived here, I couldn't quite accept it. If I hadn't known you weren't this bored, I would have almost thought this was another one of your new experiments."

"I wish I had that kind of power."

Bai Qi shrugged. If he had the ability to travel freely through time, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.

"By the way, how are you? I remember you were forcibly brought in by that bronze dragon."

Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi and asked.

"Me? That's a long story."

Bai Qi recounted his experiences during the reign of Emperor Fa to Zhuge Chen in detail, which Zhuge Chen listened to with repeated praise.

"I never expected you to become friends with the French Emperor. If this gets back, it will definitely shock the paparazzi."

Zhuge Chen looked envious, but his expression was quickly replaced by worry.

"But according to you, Deathwing seems to still be hunting you. What should we do?"

"I can't think of a good solution for the time being, so I can only take it one step at a time. The most important thing right now is to improve my own strength as soon as possible."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "By the way, I just heard you say that you saved Zhang Fugui's family. Is it possible to summon a bond seal in this era?"

"Can't."

Zhuge Chen shook his head and said, "I tried it as soon as I arrived here. In this era, the Bond Seal cannot be triggered at all, and even the ability of the Spirit Orb is restricted."

"But for some reason, Garurumon has remained in its Bond Phenomenon state ever since it came to this world, so strictly speaking, there isn't much difference."

"Maintain the state after the Bond Evolution?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. The biggest difference between Spirit Masters and Beast Masters is that the bond evolution of Spirit Masters is temporary, but in this era it has become permanent.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason, but it's fortunate that it happened, otherwise I wouldn't be alive today."

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "I originally thought I would live in this era forever and never see you again, but I never expected to meet you in this era."

"I didn't expect it either, after all, I originally thought that only one person had traveled through time."

Bai Qi patted Zhuge Chen on the shoulder and laughed, "When I first heard that someone in this era could control beasts without a contract, I almost thought I had met the future Martial Emperor. I never expected it to be you."

"Wu Chen, I even wonder if you hadn't met me and had continued to live here, would you have become the Martial Emperor of history?"

"Tsk tsk, you know what, it's actually quite possible. After all, you really do look quite similar to Emperor Wu as recorded in history. How about it, why don't you consider it?"

Bai Qi was clearly joking, but Zhuge Chen's expression suddenly turned strange.

"Speaking of Emperor Wu, I may have already met him~"

……

"Teacher, teacher, can't I really develop a bond with the Emperor Cub directly? Feeding rabbits all day is so boring..."

Zhang's backyard.

A boy looked pitifully at Zhuge Chen, eagerly wanting to get the answer he wanted from him, but unfortunately, he was met with Zhuge Chen's rejection.

"Didn't I tell you? The imperial cubs already possess intelligence comparable to humans. You're very vulnerable to being hurt by them in this state."

Zhuge Chen patted the boy's head and said patiently, "Haste makes waste. You should first learn to take care of those ordinary cubs. Once you've become friends with these little creatures, then you can consider other extraordinary creatures."

"Okay, I'll listen to the teacher."

The boy was somewhat dejected, but he still obediently went to the side to feed the rabbits. However, judging from the occasional glances he gave at the wolf cub, he clearly hadn't completely given up.

Given the choice between the lowly servant Green Sprout Rabbit and the middling emperor Black Bamboo Wolf cub, any normal person would know which one to choose.

"Zhuge Chen, are you sure this little guy is really that Martial Emperor, Zhang Youren?"

Bai Qi stared at the boy for a long time, but still couldn't connect him with the human emperor in the records who had slept with countless legendary creatures.

"I don't know if he is Emperor Wu, but his name is indeed Zhang Youren, and he has no talent."

Zhuge Chen smiled faintly and said, "I don't know why, but I'm more inclined to believe that he is the Martial Emperor, and that my coming here was also destined."

Upon hearing Zhuge Chen's words, Bai Qi did not refute them; on the contrary, he seemed to agree with them.

Although it sounds legendary, the difficulty of establishing friendships with so many legendary creatures without the constraints of contracts is no less than the difficulty of him dragging out Deathwing and beating him up right now.

But if we add the Bond Seal, then all of this might make sense.

As for the issue of the Bond Seal not manifesting in this era...

Since Zhuge Chen's pets can maintain their evolved bond state, it means that this power can be used in this era.

As long as it can be used, there will definitely be a way to solve the problem of the creation of the Bond Seal.

"Although I didn't get to meet the Martial Emperor after he became famous, it seems more fulfilling to nurture a talentless boy into a Martial Emperor?"

Bai Qi stroked his chin, watching the boy running around in front of the pet cubs, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Those familiar with Bai Qi know that this is the smile he only shows when he encounters a project he is particularly interested in.

Awoo awoo...

(I suddenly have a strong feeling that someone is going to be in trouble...)
