"Another five million gone..." Xi Ye looked at the dwindling amount in his account, feeling increasingly uncertain. He hadn't even started repaying his first loan yet...

This time... I shouldn't have been swindled, right? Xi Ye glanced at the Panda Man following beside him, munching on Crisp Crystal Bamboo Shoots with a simple smile, and thought to himself.

He hadn't chosen to purchase Star Beast eggs from the Wine Immortal. He had researched and found that the Wine Immortal Lord's forces specialized in industry, and their reputation in the biological trade was generally poor. A major scandal had even occurred a thousand years ago, reportedly involving a Magic Wolf they sold that killed its owner.

He even knew the owner who was killed. His name was Odin, a model graduate from their Celestial God system and a lucky big shot who had successfully found a seventh-level life planet through backpacking. His mentor had even dragged him to give them, the younger students, an afternoon of motivational speeches.

He remembered him vividly. That guy was burly and deliberately sported an eyepatch, saying it was a mark left by a respectable opponent, a warrior's honor. So he didn't choose to have surgery to restore it, his tone full of big shot swagger.

Who would have thought that one day he would be killed by a wolfdog? What an ugly death...

"Is the esteemed customer looking to buy Star Beasts?" As Xi Ye was thinking, he wandered into a shop specializing in selling Star Beasts. The outside was filled with Star Beast cages, with all sorts of strange breeds. Popular ones like Star Wolves, Phantom Tail Foxes, Ice Fire Butterflies, and Nebula Eagles were available, as well as less common ones like Terror-Type Mother Spider, Venom, and Giant Abyss Jellyfish larvae. It was clearly a professional biological force.

With this in mind, Xi Ye asked, "May I ask which Lord this shop belongs to?"

Tracing the source was also a way to ensure product quality. Major Lords, for the sake of their reputation, generally wouldn't tamper with product quality.

After all, the market was highly competitive, and once you were exposed for negative news, it could easily cost you a large number of customers.

The shopkeeper was a Flower Spirit girl, which was one of the reasons Xi Ye chose to inquire. Dealing with Elves was much more reassuring than dealing with Goblins.

The Flower Spirit girl's beautiful face showed a heartwarming smile upon hearing the question, making Xi Ye feel much better. After seeing the Goblins' sly smiles and the Panda Man's silly grin all morning, seeing a genuine Flower Spirit's smile made him instantly feel the world's kindness.

"Our Lord is: Aisana Xingyu!"

Xi Ye's eyes immediately turned serious, and he quickly searched his mind for this name.

Generally speaking, when someone introduces someone, they would say their name is so-and-so, but this little girl directly said their Lord is so-and-so, which must mean she was a remarkable figure.

Because it represented that the other party was very confident, and everyone would definitely recognize the name once it was said!

But Xi Ye really didn't recognize it...

But he still put on a surprised tone, "Oh, so it's Senior Aisana, I've heard so much about you!"

This sentence was a versatile one. Anyway, as fellow Celestial Gods, calling someone "senior" was fine throughout the starry sky, with no problems.

In secret, he quickly searched for the name online.

After searching, he found that she was indeed a big shot, the seventh Lord of the Federation's Eastern Star Region, ranked twenty-seventh in the entire Star Ranking, and a major Lord born into the Xingyu Family!

Most of the Lords who could enter the top fifty of the Star Ranking were big shots who had survived for millions of epochs. Of course... Cang Yue, who rose instantly in just half an epoch and killed the third Lord, was an anomaly and could not be used for comparison.

This kind of big Lord, especially one born as an Elf, should have no problems with the quality and reputation of their goods.

So he said, "This Lord is currently cultivating a batch of Flower Spirits, so I want to buy some Star Beast eggs for backup. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Cultivating Flower Spirits?" The clerk looked at Xi Ye with some surprise. Although this guy was wearing a helmet, she could still tell that he wasn't a Celestial God born as an Elf. She rarely saw outsiders who would actively cultivate Elf bloodlines.

But no matter what the reason, the fact that he was willing to provide a living environment for the Elf race still made her feel a little goodwill, and her smile became even warmer.

Then she led Xi Ye into the store and opened a beautiful compressed freezer, introducing, "New Flower Spirits are suitable for raising Star Beasts with gentle personalities, easy to shape, and stable genes. I recommend this Rural Dog, a local breed from our Governing Star..."

"Rural Dog?" Xi Ye was stunned. This name was so bootleg, wouldn't it be some kind of mixed breed?

"How much is it?" Xi Ye asked hesitantly.

"Well... one hundred God Coins each. Ours is a high-end mixed breed... cough, high-end local breed. After several epochs of evolution, the genes are very stable, extremely obedient, and not picky about food..."

Indeed, it must be a Rural Dog... Xi Ye thought with a dark face.

Sigh, it seems all business people are the same. Even such a cute and beautiful Flower Spirit can be made to spout such serious nonsense. Society is indeed complex...

"This Lord wants to cultivate high-end Flower Spirits. Don't bring these knock-off products to sully this Lord's eyes."

The shop assistant smiled awkwardly upon hearing this. She had originally thought she had encountered a newbie and could push these Rural Dogs off on him.

"Ahem... I was also considering the cost for you, Lord. After all, a new Lord has many places to spend money..."

Hmm... she can talk. Hearing it like this, this girl's behavior just now seems like it could be considered thoughtful. But is this Lord a poor Lord who needs a mere shop assistant to consider his feelings?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "No need to worry about that. This Lord came here to buy high-end goods. Just bring them out. As long as the problem can be solved with God Coins, it's not a problem for this Lord!"

"Ah, so you're a big shot. I was rude just now!" The shop assistant immediately smiled like a flower upon hearing this and quickly apologized.

"Coincidentally, our faction's Dragon-Rank Beast Tamer, Master Kabo, has a new batch of Star Devouring Python eggs. Would you like to consider them, Lord?"

Star Devouring Python? What an arrogant name!

Yes, that name fits this Lord's style. What Rural Dog? How could I show that off? What would the people in the Base think of this Lord?

"Lord, look, this is the pureblood certificate of the parents, and videos of their parents!"

Xi Ye looked up and saw two towering pythons in the high-definition video, their heads and tails intertwined, encircling a huge planet, like a black disc!

Xi Ye trembled all over as he watched, thinking: This physique really lives up to the name!

"How much stock do you have? This Lord wants it all!"

"Yes, Lord!" The Flower Spirit, who never smiled showing her teeth, didn't bother to maintain her image at this moment. The flesh on her cheeks piled up high, and she smiled foolishly, "There are a total of five hundred in stock, sold in different markets. If you want them all, I will contact them to gather the goods for you!"

"Hmm..." Xi Ye nodded slightly and casually asked, "By the way, how much is a Star Python egg?"

Shop assistant: "One hundred million!"

"Oh... This Lord thought about it, and what you said just now makes a lot of sense. Newbie Flower Spirits are more suitable for some stable breeds to try out. Bring out that batch of Rural Dogs you mentioned earlier for this Lord to take a look at..."
