My lord, spare his life!

Seeing the guards standing not far away and refusing to leave, Zhang Yang's expression changed instantly. He put down the tiger without any emotion, his smile vanished.

The tiger thought it had gained its freedom and immediately gathered its strength to escape as soon as it landed.

Before it could run two steps, the rope around its neck suddenly tightened. The intense suffocation and electric shock-like pain caused it to convulse and collapse to the ground with only a scream. It scratched wildly with its four paws, enduring the pain as it moved back to Zhang Yang's feet and rubbed its head against him.

Konoe: "..."

He seemed to read despair in the tiger's eyes.

Zhang Yang affectionately patted its big head and praised, "Good kitty."

Konoe nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

At this moment, Zhang Yang was nothing short of a hideous and evil monster in human skin in his eyes. She had actually made this ferocious worm so docile! His nervousness seemed somewhat unreasonable to Zhang Yang: "Are you afraid of Dami? It's my new pet, it doesn't bite."

Yes, Zhang Yang also has her own pet now.

The system log gave it a rare SR rating.

Moreover, it was a beautiful big cat with gorgeous markings, intricate patterns, and thick fur—every inch of its body seemed to be a masterpiece of Nuwa's artistry. After Zhang Yang successfully captured and tamed it by putting a trap rope on it, he named it Da Mi, Zhang Da Mi!

Konoe: "...No."

He was clearly afraid of Zhang Yang himself.

In mythology, the stars, using starlight as their energy and celestial soil as their bodies, reshaped all things. Note the key point: it was all things, not just humanity, that were reshaped. This means that species other than humans also have a chance to cultivate.

However, they are not very intelligent and their proportion is extremely low.

The enormous worm before them was clearly beyond the limits of ordinary wild beasts, with faint stellar energy flowing orderly within its meridians. Even the guards would have a slim chance of survival if they encountered such a worm, and killing it would require a significant number of personnel.

How to make the other party submit?

That's practically impossible. This kind of insect is already quite intelligent, and as the king of beasts, its pride prevents it from easily bowing down to anyone. To tame it as a pet would require quite a few ruthless methods to completely break its inherent arrogance.

The guards saw no signs of fierce fighting nearby, nor any signs of torture on the tiger. The tiger was already rubbing against Zhang Yang's feet. It was a fearsome beast, a mountain lord who commanded respect throughout the forest, not a lackey.

Zhang Yang asked impatiently, "Then what are you doing here?"

It's obvious they want to kick people out.

She is introverted and doesn't like to express her emotions in front of outsiders.

Konoe finally remembered the real purpose of searching for seven or eight mountains, and hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "My lord has ordered me to find Lord Boyuan to return immediately, as Master Fan's 'Starry Night' affliction has flared up."

Zhang Yang wasn't in a hurry, and said naturally, "How long has it been since last time? Why has the 'Star-Descending Calamity' flared up again?"

It was as if he was complaining about a trivial matter that happened frequently.

Konoe stammered, his eyes darting around.

"This has always been the case..."

Some people don't survive the consequences of their reckless behavior and contract diseases, completely ruining their bodies before that. The most painful thing is when the body collapses, but the desires attached to the soul are not relieved in the slightest. When they flare up, they can make one wish for death but also feel like they are dying.

Zhang Yang looks young and strong, so there's not much to worry about.

After all, he only had this one subordinate.

Zhang Yang said, "Let's go back."

Soon, she encountered a problem.

Zhang Dami couldn't be added to the game's built-in pet slot, nor could it be put into the game's inventory. She could fit the hamsters she bought wholesale from the market in there, so why couldn't Zhang Dami? For a moment, Zhang Yang was completely baffled, until a flash of inspiration struck her.

She figured out what was going on.

The case is solved! Zhang Dami is a pet in the Homestead side map, and its activity range should be limited to this area. It cannot be taken out through the pet inventory or game backpack. If it could, Zhang Yang would have already seen the observation samples taking Zhang Dami around everywhere.

Zhang Yang stared at Zhang Dami with some distress.

"This is not easy to take with you..."

The guard suggested to her, "You can kill it."

These large insects, unable to find sufficient food deep in the mountains, often descend to attack villagers. Some villages and towns bordering the mountains suffer from insect infestations thirty to fifty times a year. These large insects cannot be kept; they must be killed, otherwise, if allowed to multiply, the infestation will become even more severe.

"Slaughtered?"

If you can't put it in your bag, then put it in your stomach?

Zhang Yang was a little reluctant to part with it. She wondered if she would ever encounter another equally beautiful big cat like Zhang Dami. After all, the game's official team was notoriously stingy; such masterpieces were unlikely to be mass-produced.

Konoe said, "A bushel of top-quality insect meat is worth eighty coins."

An average person can stay full for three to five days after eating one meal.

Zhang Dami let out a few mournful whimpers. It seemed to understand what Zhang Yang and the other person were talking about, stretching out its front paws and pressing its forehead against the soil. Guard: "Oh, begging for help?"

This beast is cunning and must not be allowed to live.

Zhang Yang stroked its big head: "I won't kill you, I'll take you home, but Zhang Dami, you have to remember my mercy. If you're ungrateful, I'll crush your skull."

After saying that, Zhang Yang picked up Zhang Dami and carried her on his back.

It's okay if it doesn't fit in the game inventory.

She can still keep Big Mimi by her side!

Konoe: "..."

He could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yang grabbed the tiger and headed back.

The scout spotted the tiger first: "Master, we've spotted a large tiger approaching. Should we chase it away or kill it?"

Puyang Kui, not wanting to cause any more trouble, said: "Just drive them away."

"Master, it seems the tiger is carrying someone in its mouth?"

"Then kill him."

"The person being held by the neck seems to be Lord Boyuan?"

Puyang Kui was shocked: "What!"

Was Zhang Yang accidentally killed by a giant insect?

What level of mountain lord is this giant insect?

Just then, the giant tiger, who was surrounded, spoke up: "What are you all doing here? Where is Uncle Yan?"

Zhang Yang straightened her head, which had been tilted to one side, and said to the big cat that had just been put down and was lying at her feet, "It's so hot, big cat. Your fur is so thick, it's making me sweat all over."

Zhang Dami let out a low, gurgling sound.

Puyang Kui was a seasoned veteran, and he reacted instantly.

"Lord Boyuan, come with me."

He was thinking of resting for a couple more hours.

No sooner had he arrived than he saw Fan You, with a cold face, use a flick of his wrist to reposition his dislocated arm, allowing it to move freely. He then straightened his other arm and finally put his jaw back in place. This scene forced Puyang Kui to swallow the suggestion that was on the tip of his tongue.

no--

Is that all?

Where was the wretchedness of being tormented by the wrath of the celestial beings? Fan Shuyan's face was now as cold as ice, his expression chilling to the bone.

Puyang Kui awkwardly turned to the side.

"This is not a false report."

Fan You did indeed experience the descent of the stars and the wrath of the gods.

Zhang Yang exclaimed, "The wolves are coming again!"

The product doesn't match the description! You're a scammer!

Fan You calmed his disordered breathing for a moment and said, "This can't go on. The intervals between attacks are too short. It seems like you'll lose control if you're too far away from me." He also couldn't keep following Zhang Yang around.

If Zhang Yang were to truly contend for power in the future, the mere fact that he cannot do without her would render Fan You's value negligible. Being bound by distance is no different from having a dog leash around its neck.
