nIn the flying boat in the sky of the Moonlight Kingdom, Maximus finished choosing a beast pet for Lily.

nHe then decided to choose beast pet for Max and Nathan next.

nMax, being an adventurous and lively brat, he chose.

nGolden Monkey Cub: a cub of a tier 6 Golden Monkey. It was a free-spirited adventurer with an indomitable spirit. It has a hint of tier 9 golden chaos monkey bloodline. Price 2 billion.

nFor Nathan, who was always silent and cold, Maximus chose.

nMidnight Panther Cub: a cub of a tier 6 Midnight Panther. It was a naturally born assassin. Born in the shadow realm. It has a hint of tier 9 Voidstalker bloodline. Price 2.5 billion.

nAs for Lyla, another lively girl, Maximus chose

nSilverwing Eagle Cub: a cub of a tier 6 Silverwing Eagle. It had lived at the highest peak of the mountain and was once one of the pets of the silver angels. It had a hint of tier 9 Stormwind Eagle and tier 9 Skyfire Eagle Bloodline. Price 3.5 billion.

nFor Lydia, Maximus chose a gentle beast-type pet.

n6-tailed Fox Cub: a cub born from a tier 6 6-tailed fox. It was considered one of the most beautiful creature in the animal kingdom, with a hint of tier 9 nine-tailed fox bloodline. Price 2.5 billion.

nAfter buying all the beast pets, Maximus also purchased a beast ring.

nMaximus turned his attention to Sam and Luke.

nHe decided not to give them beast pets for now, as they were too young and unable to take care of themselves.

nInstead, he chose some gadgets for them to play with.

nBalanced Haste Shoes (tier 1): a mechanical device powered by a magic crystal. It could hover a few inches off the ground, providing fast maneuverability. It could balance in the air no matter what you did and had a protective shield in case of bumps.

nHaving bought everything for his children, he then thought about what to give to his wives.

nUnable to decide, he just chose different types of clothes and jewelry that boosted meditation and training.

n…

nOnce he finished his selection, he turned to his family.

n“Do you want to get down?” They had been flying for half an hour, so he asked.

n“YES!” Liam, Nathan, Lily, and Lydia exclaimed.

n“NO!” Lyla and Max replied.

nSam and Luke were already asleep in their mother’s arms.

nLooking at his wives, who also wanted to get down, he said to them, “Alright, the majority voted, let’s go home.”

n“NO…” Layla and Max looked dismayed.

n“Oh, don’t you want to see your gifts?” Maximus joked.

nIt seemed like they had forgotten about their gifts after playing.

n“We want to!” Lyla and Max said in unison and then looked at each other.

nThey had been in unison three times in a row now.

nAlthough they were one year apart, they couldn’t help but wonder.

n“Then let’s go,” Maximus said as he operated the boat at maximum speed, heading towards the castle.

nAfter landing for a while, he led them to the back garden of the castle, as it had a large space and nice air.

n…𝞸𝓥xt.𝒪𝑚

nIn the back garden, Maximus jokingly asked, “Who’s first?”

n“ME!”

n“Me!”

n“ME!”

n“Alright, alright, let’s start with the oldest sister, Lily,” Maximus smiled at their chatter.

nLily excitedly came to him, waiting to see what gift their father had for them.

n“Here you go, sweetie,” Maximus smiled and handed her a pure white snake with a hint of darkness and a crimson aura.

nLily carefully held the snake in her hand.

n“Cute,” Lily unconsciously muttered.

nAlthough the snake was scary, it somehow looked beautiful and cute to Lily, who just stared at them lovingly.

nEven Lydia, who was scared of worms, was attracted to it.

n“Do you like it, Lily?” Maximus asked with a smile.

n“Yes, Dad, it’s the best gift for me,” Lily shyly said.

nMaximus lovingly patted her head.

n“Next, the oldest brother, Liam, come here,” Maximus called.

nLiam hurriedly came to him.

n“This is your pet lion,” Maximus explained as he gave Liam a lion the size of an adult cat.

n“Wow,” Liam petted the little lion, and the lion licked his hand, startling him.

n“Is that a cat?!” Max shouted.

n“Can I pet it?” Max knew what a cat was, but the castle didn’t have them, so he eagerly asked his brother if he could pet it.

n“It’s not a cat; it’s a baby lion, according to Father,” Liam turned his head back to his little brother as he hugged the lion for himself.

n“Humph, stingy!” Seeing his brother, Liam, not allowing him to pet the cat, Max just harrumphed.

n“Alright, enough of that. Next is Max,” Maximus shifted their attention.

n“Where is mine?” Max ran up to him and shook him.

n“Here, a golden monkey for a golden boy,” Maximus joked a little as he handed Max a golden monkey who was very energetic, even though it was only a cub.

nThe monkey, seeing that Maximus was handing it to a kid, jumped onto Max’s head as if declaring himself as Max’s master.

n“Come here,” Max was very happy with the monkey, but as he saw it on his head, he grabbed the back of the monkey’s skin and hugged it, just like Liam hugged his lion.

nThe monkey was forcibly pulled and became angry, struggling in Max’s hands.

n“HAHAHA,” but Max just laughed it off, thinking that the monkey was playing with him.

n“Be gentle, Max. You could hurt it,” Maximus reminded his child.

n“Alright, Daddy!” Max said as he placed the monkey on his shoulder.

nBut the monkey was stubborn and once again climbed up to Max’s head.

nAmused, Max put the monkey on his shoulder again, causing giggles from him.

n“Childish,” Lily said as she petted the snake in her hands.

n“Next is Nathan,” Max reminded.

n“Here!” Nathan nervously said as he awaited what pet his father would give him.

nMaximus took out a pitch-black panther with blue emerald eyes.

nNathan silently accepted the pet, seemingly satisfied with what he got.

nThe panther was the size of a little cat, just like his brother Liam’s.

nAlthough a little smaller, but Nathan liked what he got more, as it was quiet and silently lay in his arms.

nIf you didn’t see its eyes, you would think that it was just a shadow, as the panther’s fur absorbed all the light.

n“Next is Lyla,” Maximus said, moving on to his next child.

n“I’m here!” Lyla ran up to him and hugged his legs.

n“This is for you, Lyla,” Maximus took out a silver eagle.

nThe eagle looked like a chick when it first saw Lyla.

nIt tried to flap its wings but to no avail.

nAlthough it couldn’t fly, the silver eagle’s feathers were complete, unlike a newborn bird without feathers.

nThe eagle’s silver feathers shimmered in the sun, capturing Lyla’s attention.

nSeeing that the bird couldn’t fly on its own, Lyla gently brought the eagle to her hand.

n“I’ll be your friend from now on.” Lyla patted the eagle’s head and whispered.

nThe eagle seemingly understood her meaning and chirped twice in agreement.

n“Thank you, Daddy,” Lyla smiled and kissed Maximus on the cheek.

nMaximus smiled back and patted her head.

n“Next is Lydia.”

nLydia approached Maximus silently as if awaiting her final verdict.

n“This is for you, Lydia,” Maximus patted Lydia’s head.

nIt was a white fox with six tails.

nLydia took the fox from his hand and hugged it with a cute smile.

nThis was the most beautiful thing she had seen in her life.

nThe other two girls also noticed how beautiful the fox was and briefly considered exchanging their pets for a moment.

nHowever, upon seeing their pets looking at them with their adorable eyes, they quickly changed their minds.

nAlthough both girls admitted that the fox was more beautiful than their pets, they didn’t yield as they believed the ones they had were more powerful.

nLydia, on the other hand, didn’t see this comparison, as she focused on petting the fox.

n“Next, Sam and Luke,” Maximus said, looking at the two little ones.

n“Here, here,” the two stuttered, following the words their brothers and sister had said when their father called their names.

nThe two nearly stumbled as they hurriedly walked toward him.

nMaximus was patient, waiting for them to approach.

n“This is for you,” he took out a pair of shoes.

nSam and Luke felt disappointed for a moment, as they also wanted pets.

nBut upon seeing their father’s sincere eyes, they didn’t know what to say, as their vocabulary was limited.

nSeeing his son’s disappointment, Maximus smiled and helped them put on the shoes.

nThe mechanical shoes automatically adjusted and fit perfectly.

nAfter ensuring they were wearing the shoes, Maximus inserted a mid-grade magic stone to provide power for a long time.

n“Now, move,” Maximus encouraged them.

nAs they tried to move, the mechanical shoes were activated, propelling them in a straight line toward a tree in an instant.

nFortunately, there was a protective barrier, so they were safe.

nMaximus also broke into a sweat.

nSam and Luke, on the other hand, looked a little pale, but excitement was evident in their eyes.

nNormally, walking is tedious and hard, but with these shoes, they could move as if they were flying.

nAfter getting the hang of it for a while, the two raced in circles, giggling with happiness.

n“Daddy, I also want that,” Max approached him, seeing his little brothers racing at high speeds, which made his blood boil.

n“No, you already have yours. Do you want to exchange it with theirs?” Maximus denied his request.

nHe couldn’t spoil his children too much, as it would lead to them becoming spoiled brats.

nMax thought about his father’s suggestion and looked at the monkey that had already settled on his shoulders.

nThe monkey, as if understanding looked at Max with pitiful eyes.

nMax struggled for a moment and finally gave up.
