Chapter 63 | My Beast Taming Space Hides a Gacha Pool

The Blaze Claw Lion approached, gently placing the egg from its tail before Liu Yi.

“Yanzhao, Yanzhao.”

Ziyue leaned in, sniffing the pet egg while translating.

“Bingbing, Bingbing.”

“The Blazing Lion asked me to bring this. It says it’s for you.”

Liu Yi held her hand above the eggshell, feeling a warmth that was gentle, not scorching.

“Is this a Blazing Lion’s egg?” she asked, looking up.

The Blaze Claw Lion nodded.

“Yanzhao Yanzhao, Yanzhao.”

“Bingbing Bingbing, Bingbing.”

“The Blazing Lion says this pet egg is a voluntary gift from our tribe to you. It won’t take up one of your contract slots for this Secret Realm. People outside will understand when you take this egg out.”

Then the Blazing Lion turned to look at Ziyue, then cried out to Liu Yi twice more.

“Yanzhao, Yanzhao.”

Upon hearing this, Ziyue proudly wagged her tail.

“Bingbing, Bingbing!”

“It says the Blazing Lion saw how well you’ve trained me, so it believes entrusting its tribe’s young to you for a contract is definitely the right choice.”

Liu Yi carefully picked up the Blazing Lion’s pet egg, closing her eyes and pressing her face against it to feel its presence.

She then looked at the Blaze Claw Lion and earnestly said, “Thank you, and please thank the Blazing Lion for me as well.”

The Blaze Claw Lion nodded. Seeing its mission complete, it turned and left.

Liu Yi carried the pet egg into the tent, and Ziyue followed her inside.

She wrapped half of the egg in her sleeping bag.

Fire-type pet eggs need to be kept in a relatively warm environment.

Liu Yi looked at the curious Ziyue beside her and said with a smile, “You also came out of an egg like this back then. If you want to watch it now, remember to reduce the cold aura around you a little, okay?”

“After we get home, we’ll put the Blazing Lion’s pet egg into the same incubator you were in. Once it’s set to Fire-type pet mode, you can watch it up close.”

“Bingbing.”

Ziyue nodded, understanding that her current cold aura might affect her future companion, and then went outside to continue her training.

....

Night deepened, and the beasts were quiet.

“Bingbing?”

Ziyue yawned, looking at Liu Yi, who was still sitting outside the tent, indicating, Aren’t we going in to sleep?

Liu Yi rubbed Ziyue’s head. “If you’re tired, you can go in and sleep first.”

Ziyue thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“Bingbing.”

She rested her head on Liu Yi’s lap, indicating that she would just sleep there.

Watching Ziyue fall asleep in an instant, Liu Yi smiled.

As she stroked Ziyue’s fur, Liu Yi looked at the Central Sanctuary ahead, beginning to organize her recent thoughts.

Fifteen years ago, the Central Sanctuary appeared out of thin air.

Fifteen years ago was also when she arrived in this world.

The pet egg inside the Central Sanctuary, according to the Little Bell Deer, had still not hatched even after Supreme rank pets checked on it again last year.

More than half a month ago, the Scaly Snake appeared in this Secret Realm.

However, should it really be called the Scaly Snake? Did the Scaly Snake’s tail tip have that golden ring pattern?

Liu Yi wasn't entirely sure. Scaly Snakes were indeed rarely seen, and she hadn't battled one before.

For now, she'd assume it was the Scaly Snake. Liu Yi continued to sort through her thoughts.

More than half a month ago, which was a few days before her Beast Taming Space’s development progress broke through 20% and she drew the Destiny Card, the ‘Scaly Snake’ appeared out of thin air in the Myriad Realm Secret Realm.

Then, she drew a Destiny Card, which indicated that the contract location for her second pet was in the Myriad Realm Secret Realm.

The Blazing Lion’s pet egg, clearly, wouldn't hatch anytime soon, so she couldn't contract it here.

So, could the legendary pet in the Central Sanctuary, which also appeared in this world fifteen years ago and was rumored to reach the Divine rank, be her second pet?

She, who usually had bad luck with Gacha pulls, had drawn a rare golden Destiny Card. Could it really have been just for the ‘Scaly Snake’?

The Central Sanctuary, which Liu Yi had been staring at, changed.

A figure passed through the Central Sanctuary’s golden barrier and emerged.

Liu Yi gently moved Ziyue’s head onto the picnic mat, then stood up and walked a few steps towards the Central Sanctuary.

The golden light of the Central Sanctuary shone on the figure, allowing her to clearly see its appearance.

It still had black scales, crimson eyes, and a relatively slender body. But beneath it were four small claws, and dark purple dragon manes grew from its back to its tail. The golden ring pattern was still present near its tail, and a golden pattern had appeared around its eyes, with a pair of golden short horns growing above its head.

It was just like the dragons of Zhonghuajia.

But a juvenile version.

Liu Yi: !!!

She clenched her fists, trying to calm herself.

But as someone from Zhonghuajia, she, to varying degrees, held a special affection for such dragons.

“Moling!”

At this moment, the dragon-shaped creature also saw Liu Yi. Its crimson eyes lit up, and it cried out.

However, the moment it opened its mouth, something fell out.

Liu Yi stepped forward, picked up the item, and examined it. It was a small piece of eggshell with black-gold patterns.

Liu Yi looked at it. “Is this your pet eggshell?”

“Moling, Moling.”

Liu Yi: “...”

I can’t understand it.

Liu Yi: “I’ll go find Ziyue to translate. Do you want to come with me?”

It nodded, crawled up Liu Yi’s arm to her shoulder, wrapped around Liu Yi’s neck, and then stopped.

Liu Yi watched its actions, trying to suppress the corners of her mouth, and walked to Ziyue to wake her up.

“Bingbing?”

Ziyue opened her eyes, saw the pet on Liu Yi’s neck, and chirped, indicating, Why do you look different now?

“Moling, Moling...”

After Ziyue’s translation, Liu Yi understood what it was describing.

That night, after Liu Yi asked if it knew how it entered this Secret Realm, it recalled everything by combining it with a dream it had previously had.

It turned out that when it hatched, it was too eager, which caused it to hatch many days early.

And after hatching, it, focused on getting out despite the blinding golden light, didn't eat its eggshell or properly absorb the energy from the Central Sanctuary.

This led to it not appearing in its original form when it first showed up in the Myriad Realm Secret Realm.

So, when it remembered everything, it quickly rushed back to eat the eggshell and absorb the energy, wanting to appear before Liu Yi in its true form.

After listening, Liu Yi gently touched its small dragon horns. “So, in your initial memories, you were always told that after hatching, you had to find me to form a contract?”

It nodded, then shook its head.

“Moling, Moling.”

“Bingbing, Bingbing.”

“My memories told me to contract with you, that’s right, but even before my memories recovered, I already wanted to contract with you.”

“Alright.” Liu Yi brought her hands close to her neck, prompting it to move over. “Then I officially ask you now, are you willing to contract with me?”
