"As for He Qingyuan, you voluntarily wagered your Resource Box and lost to Ye Bai."

"I confirmed with you multiple times at the time, but you didn't take it seriously."

"Now that you've lost, according to the terms of the agreement, your Resource Box and other bets will be handed over to Ye Bai."

Zhang Lingxue said firmly.

This move by the He Family had also crossed Zhang Dashan's bottom line, and he would deal with them harshly, making an example of them to warn others.

He Qingyuan was about to say something when suddenly his phone rang. He glanced at it—it was actually his father calling.

His hands trembled, but he didn't dare not answer.

"He Qingyuan, you get your ass back here right now."

"You stole my invitation to the Dragon Soaring Auction House and caused such a huge mess."

"I'll skin you alive when I get my hands on you."

An enraged voice blasted through the phone.

He Qingyuan looked utterly defeated, and he released the Resource Box from his Pet Beast Space.

Without even glancing at the Boxing Rabbit, he staggered toward the school gate.

Another lost soul had joined the world.

That Boxing Rabbit seemed to have been abandoned on the spot.

Zhang Lingxue released the Goddess of Light Butterfly. A milky white light fell onto the Boxing Rabbit, and its body emitted a series of cracking sounds.

Not long after, it opened its eyes and woke up. It looked around but didn't see He Qingyuan anywhere, and its mood sank.

At that moment, a flash of white light flickered across the Boxing Rabbit's brow—He Qingyuan was taking his anger out on it.

He had actually initiated the dissolution of their contract.

Though the Boxing Rabbit was a little downcast, the white light in its brow scattered into countless specks.

Both parties had reached an agreement and voluntarily terminated the contract. Zhang Lingxue let out a long sigh.

After obtaining the Boxing Rabbit's consent, she stored it into a Beast Card.

He Qingyuan publicly abandoned his own pet beast, whether intentional or not, and would face punishment from the school.

This Boxing Rabbit would most likely be sent back to the Secret Realm to choose a new Pet Beast Master.

A Boxing Rabbit that had awakened the Berserk skill was hardly lacking in demand.

"Don't worry, Ye Bai. Your pet beast shop wasn't sealed up. He Qingyuan was just bluffing earlier."

"At the same time, our school guarantees you that this kind of thing will never happen again."

"The school will protect your legal rights from being infringed upon."

Zhang Lingxue quickly said, trying to calm Ye Bai down, preventing the conflict from escalating and avoiding social fallout.

Ye Bai gave his Homeroom Teacher a deep look, as if he had figured something out.

The He Family had probably been warned by Sacred Mountain Middle School, so they wouldn't pull any petty tricks in the short term.

He checked his watch—it was almost noon. The Thousand Changes Silkworm looked completely wilted, starving to the point where its chest was practically touching its back, staring at him with a pitiful expression.

It wanted food, lots and lots of food.

"Thousand Changes Silkworm, hold on a bit. We'll head back to the shop to eat soon."

Ye Bai hurried over to the Welfare Station and bought the only 10-yuan scratch-off ticket there.

After confirming he had won, he silently left the Lottery Welfare Station and headed to the pet beast shop.

At the entrance of the shop, there were a few white marks left behind from hastily torn-off seals.

This showed that the He Family hadn't been joking—they had seriously intended to seal the shop.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Bai's eyes. Da Hui hadn't come to pull open the rolling door to greet him like before at the sound of footsteps.

Moreover, the shop was usually noisy, but today it was eerily quiet.

Had Da Hui and the others really been taken away by the Street Management Office?

Or had they been scared into hiding by them?

Ye Bai calmly used his key to open the iron rolling door of the shop.

The entrance was empty. The Thunder Pig, which usually loved lying on the ground grunting, was gone. Even the Chameleon Lizard, which often pretended to be invisible, was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Bai had a bad feeling. His brow twitched violently, as if something terrible had happened.

He quickly went to the backyard. There, all the shop's pet beasts had formed a circle, and in the very center was Da Hui.

Da Hui was gaunt, patches of fur falling out, its usual luster gone.

The pet beasts all lowered their heads, tears silently streaming down, forming small puddles.

The Lightning Cat they had taken in yesterday had already opened its eyes and was licking Da Hui's fluffy cheek with its small tongue.

It meowed repeatedly, as if puzzled why Da Hui had fallen to the ground and wouldn't get up.

It didn't even open its eyes to look at him.

Da Hui lay motionless on the ground, body stiff, eyes already closed.

Its fur had turned white, just as it had been when Ye Bai first met Da Hui.

Right now, it looked rather pitiful, unlike the cleanly Da Hui of before.

Its fur was a mess, there was a bleeding wound on its forehead, and a bit of scattered dirt on its face.

It was like a worn-out toy, lying quietly on the ground, with that warm smile still hanging at the corner of its mouth.

Ye Bai walked over step by step, as if he couldn't believe Da Hui had just left like that. He didn't believe Da Hui would leave without saying goodbye.

A crack had appeared on the Sunflower's flowerpot. It seemed Da Hui had wanted to say goodbye to the Sunflower, the one it had cared for the longest, but had fainted, its head hitting the pot and leaving that crack.

The spirit beasts all helped turn Da Hui over together.

Only then did Ye Bai realize how thin Da Hui was—beneath its thick fur, it was nothing but skin and bones.

A flicker of memories passed through his eyes. Ye Bai quietly hugged Da Hui, wanting to accompany it through its final moments.

Suddenly, Ye Bai jerked his head up, a flash of surprise in his eyes. Da Hui still had a faint breath, so weak it seemed like it would stop at any second.

Da Hui was still alive!

Da Hui could still be saved!

Ye Bai lifted his head, face full of surprise.

Right, the Life Spirit Seed. The Life Spirit Seed.

Ye Bai had thrown all caution to the wind. He released the Resource Box.

This square box took up quite a bit of space in the yard.

A Life Spirit Seed glowing with emerald light appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

It contained surging energy.

But the moment he took out the Life Spirit Seed, Ye Bai fell into confusion again.

He had no idea how to use this legendary treasure.

Right, the Eye of Insight.

Ye Bai, usually so calm, didn't care at all about the risk of going blind.

He forcibly activated the Eye of Insight, his pupils turning Blood Red.

Da Hui before him was still shrouded in layers of gray Mist.

Ye Bai felt a piercing, harsh light stabbing into his eyes.

But he gritted his teeth and held on, blood streaming from his eyes.

He could sense the Mist dissipating, while Da Hui's life force grew weaker and weaker.

Finally, the moment he closed his eyes, he got the information he needed.
