n

n“How many Silver Star Fruits would they have got?”

nYe Xuan detected where the four Tidal Treasure Snails were at the moment, but he did not try to communicate with them.

n

n

nInstead, he would rather let them surprise him when they came back.

nThe four Tidal Treasure Snails could travel very fast.

nThey only needed several minutes to travel six miles.

nAnd they were not travelling following a straight route. Each of them was constantly changing directions.

n

n

nTo avoid the monsters in the Secret Realm as well as other potential dangers.

n“Ye Xuan, do you mind telling me how you grew up? I had been cultivating my clan’s secret land since I was a little girl, so I literally haven’t gone anywhere. This is my first time seeing the world.”

nAt this moment, Athina, sitting with Ye Xuan on a flat smooth flagstone, was gazing at a small lake not far away.

nSitting with legs curled up and holding them with her hands, she tilted her head to look at Ye Xuan, who was sitting very close to her. She, in the bloom of youth, exuded the fresh vibe of it perfectly.

n

n

nYe Xuan was in the same sitting posture.

nSimultaneously, in the distance, some birds skimmed the lake’s surface and then flew into the air.

nWhich made the world even quieter.

n“I don’t have much of a life, either.”

nLooking at Athina, Ye Xuan shook his head. “I have been studying and practising martial arts since I was a kid.”

n“Over a month ago, I was suddenly qualified for Beast Tamer. Then I was busy upgrading my level, one level up today, two levels up tomorrow until I achieved my current level. Then I came to your Dragon Horn Planet.”

n

n

n“? ? ?”

nAthina was rendered speechless.

nI am having a serious conversation with you, okay?

nCould you stop joking around and tell me some truth?

nOne level up today and two levels up tomorrow? Did you become a Bronze-level Beast Tamer in only over a month?

nWho are you kidding?

nSwish! Swish! Swish…

n“Here they are.”

n

n

nWhile Athina was holding her tongue, trying not to roast him loud, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness.

nHe detected his Tidal Treasure Snails had all returned.

nAll of them were less than one thousand and five hundred feet away behind him.

nThe cultivation level of the Tidal Treasure Snails was only the peak Bronze.

nTherefore, Ye Xuan could only send them to or take them back from a location less than one thousand and five hundred feet away from him.

n“Back!”

nYe Xuan shifted his consciousness to take the four Tidal Treasure Snails back to their Beast Lair after detecting their presence behind him.

n“63, 65, 68, 60… 256!”

nThen Ye Xuan told them to take out all of the Silver Star Fruits they had got.

nHe counted how many each of them had got and added the numbers together.

nThere were 256 Silver Star Fruits in all.

nYe Xuan’s eyes lit up as soon as he finished counting.

nA Silver Star Fruit Tree could only bear three hundred Silver Star Fruits every year.

n

n

nAnd he had got most of the Silver Star Fruits in such a short time.

nHe could not help but feel sad for others in the Secret Realm.

nBefore the Tidal Treasure Snails came back, he already had three Silver Star Fruits.

nIf he took these three Silver Star Fruits and the one Athina and her two companions had promised him into account.

nHe actually had collected as many as 260 Silver Star Fruits.

n“Go for another stroll. Don’t take risks this time. Only get those easy to get and leave those hard to get where they are.”

nYe Xuan shifted his consciousness to send the four Tidal Treasure Snails out again after giving them the order.

nHe was slightly compulsive.

nThe thought of the forty Silver Star Fruits that were not in his pocket put him quite uncomfortable.

nHe just felt he had to do something about it.

nHe thought he should try his best to collect the other forty Silver Star Fruits.

nAt least he should make that number less than ten.

nMoreover, when most of the Silver Star Fruits in the Secret Realm were in his pocket.

nIt would absolutely be more and more difficult for other Beast Tamers to find the Silver Star Fruits that were still out there.

nIt was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

nIn such circumstances, he really had a chance of collecting some more fruits by sending the four Tidal Treasure Snails out to take another stroll.

nAnd once he got more, this trip to the Secret Realm would be a big success.

nOf course, this would only happen if others were completely out of luck and he was lucky enough.

nSwish! Swish! Swish…

nWhile Ye Xuan was thinking about this, the four Tidal Treasure Snails had whooshed across the sky and been more than one thousand and five hundred feet away from him once again.

nThey were taking a thorough stroll across the Secret Realm.

n“Ye Xuan, have you been in love with any girl?”

nSitting next to Ye Xuan and blinking, Athina suddenly asked him out of curiosity.

nShe had no idea at all what an insane thing Ye Xuan had done in the past few seconds.

n“Yep.”

nYe Xuan thought of someone instantly.

nThen he thought of another one.

nThen another one.

nHe was usually attracted to beautiful girls, gentle and thoughtful girls, and girls who had a gift for gab.

nHe darted a spontaneous look at Athina, who was sitting next to him.

nShe was certainly not the type he liked.

nShe was pretty, but unfortunately, she was a little stupid.

nWhy are you always approaching me, touching me intentionally or unintentionally with your soft body, and then pulling away?

nBe bolder if you are really interested in me. I might give in to you.

nBut what you are doing now, what is it supposed to mean? How would I know what you want?

nDo you want me to take the first step?

nYe Xuan admitted he was not bold enough in this regard.

nHe did not have the nerve to do anything when he was with a girl.

nIf you suddenly hug her, but it is not what she wants, how embarrassing it will be!

nOf course, there was one more reason that he was always hesitating.

nHe was kind of…

nWell…

nHe was somewhat internally passionate. However, he had faith in love.

nHe believed it would be nice for a man and a woman to spend their whole lives together, share everything, and help each other out.

nTherefore, when he had a chance of getting to first base with a girl, he always had the urge to chicken out.

nBecause he wanted to leave his most precious thing to the most precious person in his life.

nAnd Athina apparently was not that person.

nWhoosh!

nAt this moment, a figure in the uniform of Zhongzhou University whooshed across the air, standing on a verdant flying bamboo from far away.

nHe showed up in front of Ye Xuan in a flash.

nIt was Fang Luotian.

n“Ye Xuan, what are you doing?”

nFang Luotian threw a look at Ye Xuan after landing, and then he threw another look at Athina, who was sitting next to Ye Xuan, with his mouth open in surprise.

nAren’t we supposed to be looking for Silver Star Fruits in the Secret Realm?

nWhat the hell are you doing?

nHow come you are with a beautiful young girl from the Dragon Horn Clan?

n“Fang Luotian?”

nYe Xuan was surprised to see Fang Luotian as well. Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he said, “Fang, with your strength, I bet you have already found quite a few Silver Star Fruits.”

nFang Luotian was instantly embarrassed.

nHe thought he should have his fortune told before he came here.

nHow long had he been here?

nBut he had not got even one Silver Star Fruit. He was so down on his luck? Seriously?

nHowever, at the thought that the Secret Realm would be open for twenty-four hours, he was instantly very confident.

nHe did not believe he would not find any Silver Star Fruits if he spent more time searching the entire Secret Realm.

n“Well, not bad.”

nAt the thought of that, he instantly smiled at Ye Xuan. “I am sort of out of luck today. I haven’t got many gains, but I believe I will gain more by the time we leave the Secret Realm.”

n“Yeah?”

nYe Xuan felt a little sorry for himself.

nFang Luotian looked he had gained something.

nHe looked he had gained more than one Silver Star Fruit.

nIf that was the case, he was afraid his plan to collect most of the Silver Star Fruits in the Secret Realm and only leave less than ten to others would be frustrated.

n“But anyway, I have already got enough Silver Star Fruits.”

nYe Xuan comforted himself.

n“Ye Xuan, I can’t stay to hang out with you. I am going to look for more Silver Star Fruits. See you.”

nFang Luotian did not want to say anything that he might not achieve, but he just said it, and he could not help it.

nTo stop himself from going on boasting, he hurried to bid farewell to Ye Xuan and get back onto this verdant bamboo to leave.

n…

n“Eh? Something is wrong there.”

nSimultaneously, standing in the Red Flame Valley outside the Secret Realm, a few Beast Tamers on the Challenger level were somewhat excited.

nTheir Mind Energy was so powerful that they could even make it infiltrate into a Secret Realm.

nHence they could sense the special energy the Silver Star Fruits were giving off.

nHowever, according to what they had sensed, the Silver Star Fruits in this Secret Realm were decreasing drastically.

n“Did all of the Silver Star Fruits from this Silver Star Fruit Tree fall to the same place?”

nOne of the Beast Tamers on the Challenger level said.

n“Not necessarily. Maybe those young men got so lucky in the Secret Realm that they ran into a large number of Silver Star Fruits as soon as they went in.”

nA Beast Tamer on the Challenger level said with a smile, “But if that is what is happening, we should get prepared.”

n“We should take them out of there when all of the Silver Star Fruits have been gone, just to save some time, you know.”

n“Absolutely!”

nThe others gave him a nod.

nAnd they were somewhat curious at the same time.

nThey were eager to take those Beast Tamers out to figure out what exactly had happened in the Secret Realm.

nTime passed quickly.

nThey waited for twenty-odd minutes.

n“It is time. Let’s do it. Take them out of there. I am inquisitive about what happened there.”

nThen a Beast Tamer on the Challenger level raised his eyebrow.

nHe sensed all of the Silver Star Fruits in the Secret Realm had been gone.

nThat meant those Silver Star Fruits had all been put into those special jade boxes.

n“Okay!”

nWang Tianshan and others acted together.

nThey stirred the silver area in the distance with their Mind Energy.

nThen they transmitted their voices into the Secret Realm.

n“This trip to the Secret Realm is over. Everyone, go back to where you arrived when going in there.”

n“The trip to the Secret Realm is over. Everyone, assemble and get ready for the return trip.”

nInstantly, in the Secret Realm, one after another sonorous voice came.

n“The trip to the Secret Realm is over?”

n“What the hell! Are you kidding me? Haven’t we just arrived here?”

n“The Secret Realm should be open for a whole day, shouldn’t it?”

nAt this moment, everyone in the Secret Realm went mad.

n
