Level 7 Battle Pets, a Massive Surge in Strength!

"Hey-hey."

"Sister Youya, take good care of your injury. Contact me if you need anything."

Inside the Xiao Family's shelter, Cao Fengqi looked at Xiao Youya, whose eyes were tightly closed, with a wicked smile on his face.

Once upon a time, this woman, who had amazed him upon their first meeting, the deputy county head of Liangmin County, a woman who was somewhat assertive and aloof, was now behaving in such a way.

He smiled and pinched his cheek, which was now slightly red even though he was emotionally damaged, before turning away with satisfaction.

"That damn kid..."

"I..."

Only after sensing the door close did Xiao Youya open her eyes, her expression filled with shame, anger, and resentment.

She was a little angry with herself. She knew perfectly well that the guy was no good, a complete scumbag, but she let him take advantage of her time and time again.

Now I've even lost my first kiss!!!

This was completely different from the love she longed for.

But...

She glanced at the level 8 quality treasure beside her.

She has been the pillar of her family for the past ten years, and she has to rely on herself for everything.

Until this little rascal showed up.

He helped her time and time again, and each time he brought her valuable treasures.

Whether it's the Witch's Love Crystal, whose value far exceeds that of a regular level 7 staff, or this level 8 item, it's all about the value.

This special level 8 treasure is not only rare, but also extremely useful to her.

His help, unlike that of the Spark Guild, was not based on valuing her worth or seeking personal gain.

She had watched that little rascal rise to prominence, and she knew he was very talented, but she also knew that such resources were a treasure to him.

He made the trade, which will greatly benefit him.

Besides his help, there was also... she always felt inexplicably relaxed when that kid was in front of her.

"Hmph, no, this kid gave me so many treasures just to take advantage of me. He's a complete lecher."

Xiao Youya didn't want to think about it anymore. She snorted coldly and pulled the blanket over her head, feeling upset.

"Godfather, what did you say to my sister?"

Meanwhile, outside, Xiao Youxiu saw him come out and curiously approached.

"..."

Cao Fengqi looked at him and slurped, then replied, "Waaaaah!"

"???"

Xiao Youxiu was completely dumbfounded by his actions. Holy crap, sometimes he really thought his godfather was crazy.

He asked himself if his thought process was abstract enough, but he still couldn't keep up with his godfather's pace.

What are you slurping for? And what's with the whimpering?

Cao Fengqi grinned at his bewildered expression. "Should I tell you that I've been forcibly kissing your sister inside all along...?"

So, are you going to commit patricide, or just ignore everything else?

Neither approach is ethical or unequal, so it's better not to tell you.

Parents are so pitiful, sigh... I've really gone to great lengths for them!!

"Cao Fengqi."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the right.

"Um?"

Cao Fengqi his head and saw Feng Qingxuan walking over. He raised his eyebrows and looked somewhat puzzled.

Who is this guy?

"I know you're very talented, but I'm not bad either, we..."

Feng Qingxuan looked at him, a confident smile on his face, "Fair competition."

"..."

Upon hearing his inexplicable words and seeing his sudden declaration of war, Cao Fengqi paused, suppressed a smile, and nodded at him.

Okay, okay!

"Brother, don't waste your breath on this kid. You're much better than him."

Feng Qinglan, standing to the side, spoke to her elder brother, glancing at Cao Fengqi raised his snow-white neck, a hint of arrogance mixed with dissatisfaction towards the guy.

With his older brother being so outstanding, and with his help, he's sure he can make Sister Youya his sister-in-law.

"Hehe, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Cao Fengqi looked at the brother and sister, who were beaming with confidence, and was afraid he would burst out laughing.

Too lazy to pay them any attention, he patted Xiao Youxiu on the shoulder and left with a smile.

"Brother, judging from Sister Youya's attitude towards this guy, he absolutely has no chance, not to mention that he already has two fiancées."

"Women understand women. Women as outstanding as me and Sister Youya could never accept this."

Seeing Cao Fengqi leave, Feng Qinglan assumed he was ashamed of his inferiority, and with a slight smile, she continued confidently.

Feng Qingxuan smiled and nodded.

Through these interactions, he also learned that Xiao Youya was a strong, independent woman with a rather cold personality and a strong sense of self-discipline.

She never accepted gifts from me; she only accepted them if my sister insisted on giving them to her.

This was completely different from the girls he had dated before.

In Tianbei Base City, the girls wouldn't even need him to pursue them; if he showed them any affection, they would flock to him.

Xiao Youya was different; she was special, elegant, talented, and beautiful—every aspect of her attracted him.

She was the only woman he wanted to pursue and marry.

He was confident he could do it.

Because he knew his own strengths: handsome, from a prestigious family, and exceptionally talented.

Any one of these three things is something countless men could only dream of, and he possesses them all.

"Mystic Artificer Ninth Dan Perfection? I'll be reaching that level soon."

Feng Qingxuan thought to himself, and slightly raised his head.

In the past few days, he has consumed a lot of resources, and with the guidance of the Smelter in the guild, his improvement speed is very fast.

Cao Fengqi was unaware of the conversation between Feng Qinglan and her brother; if he had known, he certainly wouldn't have been able to contain himself.

Since the upgrades for all his battle pets were still ongoing, he chatted with his parents for a while after returning home.

"Hmm? You broke through??"

The day passed quickly, and the next day, when Cao Fengqi breakfast and arrived at the forging room where he temporarily stored his battle pets...

When he saw the somewhat dazed-looking Mirage Rat, about a meter in size, and the Xiaotian Dog with fur as sparkling as diamonds, his eyes lit up.

"Zhizhi!" "Roar!"

The Mirage Rat leader and the Xiaotian Dog immediately went over to him upon seeing him.

"Moreover, they are two divine skills, especially the Mirage Realm Protection, which can enhance one's safety."

"The Xiaotian Dog has also acquired two skills: the Mirage Rat's Mirage Sleep Metal Hardening Metal Hardening skill himself."

Cao Fengqi's eyes lit up as he looked at the attributes of the two level 7 battle pets.

With the addition of two level 7 battle pets, his strength has increased dramatically.
