Today's first update: Chapter 3689! 1/4!
Hong Huo was equally bewildered, his golden eyes full of question marks as he rumbled, "A hen... Judging by the name, it sounds like a relic-contest battle? The Young Mistress has traveled among countless races and had experiences as numerous as stars. It may have been something from one of her past adventures. There's no way for us to know."
"You two idiots!" Shi Ye shot them an exasperated look, her cool voice carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Didn't you hear clearly? That Winged Race brat said only 'males' could participate, and it was 'Emperor Realm minimum.' The Young Mistress is a girl, and she was even younger back then. How could she possibly have joined a battle with such obvious restrictions?"
"Special restrictions? What restrictions?"
Zhi Yi still had not caught on.
Resisting the urge to rub her forehead, Shi Ye patiently analyzed, "Just listen to the location—the Elephant Race Burial Forest at the border between the Wood Domain and Beast Domain. The Elephant Race is a powerful race ranked near the top even among S-tier Sequences, with immense influence in the Beast Domain. Their Burial Forest, barring surprises, must be an ancient forbidden ground where their ancestors or important inheritances were buried—a relic site. Why would such an important place ordinarily be opened to outsiders, allowing foreign races to enter and compete for it?"
She paused. Seeing that the two beasts only half understood, she lowered her voice further. "For the Elephant Race to make an exception and open the Burial Forest, drawing male prodigies from countless races to compete, there could only be a few reasons. First, some heaven-shaking opportunity or supreme treasure had appeared within, which the Elephant Race could not monopolize alone or required outside help to obtain.
