Chapter 436 - Changes in the Zhuo Family

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Zhuo Ran and Zhuo Ma were deeply shocked by the aura that was emitting from Sima You Yue’s body. That aura was not like any other human being’s!

Sima You Yue gave a feel of the energy within her body, and moved the energy around her body before opening her eyes once again. As the aura subsided, the feeling that her body gave out became the same as any others’. She released a heavy sigh, and came down from the rock, opening up the array.

“Are your injuries healed, You Yue?” Zhuo Ma asked.

“Mmhm. They’re much better, and there’s just a little left. I’ll still need some time, but they’ll be okay soon.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Congratulations.”

“Thanks.”

“Since you’re better, then we should call them back so that we can prepare to return.” Zhuo Ran said.

Noting that Sima You Yue did not object, he took out a signal bullet, and shot it out in the sky. After a while, all the Zhuo family members returned. This time, they were not only able to wipe out some of the important members of the Jiang family, but were also able to gain many contract beasts, and had an unprecedented bounty. It could be said that they were the most powerful in all of the Heavenly Tiger Ridge, except for the Heavenly Tiger Hall.

They boarded the phoenix and flew towards their home.

Sima You Yue felt the wind as it brushed past her, feeling once again that this was indeed the better way to travel.

The road that would have normally been half a month’s journey was not shortened to two days by air. Upon seeing them arrive on a flying beast, the Zhuo family members all ran out to see the commotion.

“Wow! It really is a flying beast!”

“Look at how pretty it is!”

“It’s even a sacred beast!”

“How are Clan Leader and the rest returning on a flying beast?”

“Look, its mimesis is on Young Mistresses’ shoulder.”

“My goodness. Is that Young Mistresses’ contract beast?”

“How did Young Mistress establish a bond with a sacred beast?”

“Huh? Our Clan Leader has even brought a stranger back with them.”

“I think, Clan Leader must respect him a lot. Could he be someone from the Heavenly Tiger Hall?”

Zhuo Xiao brought everyone out, and the clan members gave way to them.

“Older Brother, how come you guys have returned so quickly? Is everything alright?” Zhuo Xiao looked at Zhuo Ran and the rest, surprised by their early return.

“We’re alright.” Zhuo Ran said, smiling at Zhuo Xiao.

“The Jiang family…” The Jiang family had gotten news that they had gone to extract ores, why hadn’t they intercepted their return?

“The Jiang family members had sent people, and the leader of the pack was Jiang Fei.” Zhuo Ran said. “He even called the City Head of the Evernew City.”

Zhuo Xiao recoiled in horror. “Two high ranked divine kings? How did you guys escape?”

“I’ll explain it to you later.” Zhuo Ran said, before turning around to say, “This is You Yue, he will be staying with us for a bit. You Yue, this is my Third Brother and Zhuo Yang’s father.”

Seeing Zhuo Ran’s behaviour, Zhuo Xiao knew that Sima You Yue was not a simple person, and greeted him respectfully. Sima You Yue nodded, acknowledging his greeting.

“Zhuo Ma, it has been a rough two days. Bring You Yue up to the mansion to rest.” Zhuo Ran instructed.

“Yes, father.” Zhuo Ma said. “You Yue, let me bring you to take a rest.”

“I’ll take my leave, then.” With that, Sima You Yue followed Zhuo Ma into the doors of the Zhuo family residence.

After seeing that Sima You Yue and Zhuo Ma had left, Zhuo Xiao turned to look at his own brother with suspicion, asking, “Older Brother, who is this You Yue? You’re bringing him to the mansion, and that’s only for those of great ranks to live in. If there isn’t a good enough reason, the elders of the house may grumble against you endlessly.”

“Since I would let him stay there, it must mean that he meets the requirements.” Zhuo Ran said. “Have you seen the bird upon Zhuo Ma’s shoulders?”

“You mean the bird that you all sat on on your way back?” Zhuo Xiao asked. When he had come out, he had heard that they had ridden a flying beast back. They must have been talking about that bird then.

“That’s right. That is a third grade sacred beast. Now, it is Zhuo Ma’s contracted spirit beast.” Zhuo Ran said, causing everyone to be surprised. They had already guessed that it was Zhuo Ma’s contract beast, but they had never imagined that it would have been a third grade sacred beast. A third grade spirit beast was almost equal to a divine overlord! They probably had no one of equal power in their entire household.

“Are you saying…” Zhuo Xiao exhaled, guessing Sima You Yue’s identity.

“That’s right, he is a beast trainer.” Zhuo Ran said. “And he didn’t just tame a spirit beast for Zhuo Ma, he also tamed almost twenty beasts for our family.”

“Really?” Zhuo Xiao and the other family elders exclaimed.

“Of course it’s true!” Zhuo Ran said, smiling. “Call out your spirit beasts!”

“Yes, Clan Leader!” All the youngsters of the family called out their spirit beasts, causing the rest of the family to jump back in shock.

“They’re all sacred beasts or grade nine divine beasts!” The Zhuo family elder cried out.

“That’s not all. Look behind.” Zhuo Ran waved his arm, and the youngsters moved aside, revealing the cage holding four sacred beasts.

“These are..?” The second elder looked at the already-tamed sacred beasts excitedly, guessing that they were prepared for them, but still finding it hard to believe for himself.

“These were all tamed by You Yue, and we saved them for you all.” Zhuo Ran said.

“How much did you have to pay him for taming this many beasts?” The third elder felt a pang of worry. Wouldn’t the cost of taming this many beasts suck the entire family dry?

“A thousand mid-tier crystals for one beast.” Zhuo Ran replied.

“Only a thousand mid-tier crystals?” Zhuo Xiao dug further. “That’s not much even after adding it all together! Why was he so willing to help us?”

“Because we saved him in the desert.” Zhuo Ran replied. He then went on to explain how they encountered Sima You Yue, and what they had gone through so far. As the Zhuo family members listened, they were all taken aback.

“He’s also an array master?”

“That’s right. If not for him, we would have all been killed by Jiang Fei outside Evernew City.” Zhuo Yang said. Recalling all the things that happened that day, a slight sensation of fear still lingering within him from seeing all the divine kings slaughtering one another.

“He’s an array master and also a beast tamer, and has extended such help to our family, so I sent him to the mansion, since that’s the right thing to do.” Zhuo Ran said.

“Now that our family’s might has increased greatly, Third Brother, and elders, go form bonds with your spirit beasts. There is a surprise waiting for you.” Zhuo Ran said.

“Alright, let’s go.” The great Elder said.

“Alright, You Yue likes the quiet, so make sure that the rest do not go to bother him.” Zhuo Ran instructed.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

When Sima You Yue reached the mansion, she could feel that this place was not just for anyone, but that the things at the place were significantly better than at the other places. Zhuo Ma could tell that he wanted to be alone, and so she left quickly.

Sima You Yue shut the door, and then took out some spirit sap and dripped some into her mouth before starting to train again.

Because of the changes that Sima You Yue had brought to the family, the Zhuo family was extremely elated and everyone was in a celebratory mood. But because they knew that Sima You Yue liked it to be quiet, the only place in the household that was not buzzing with noise was the mansion.

Sima You Yue went into reclusion for three days straight. And when she had come out, the Zhuo family had a visit from an unwelcome guest.
