Eve is a successful romance book author and forever singleton who doesn't believe that romance could exist in real life. But with her last novel flopping in the market, she felt like she put herself in a rut that she can't get herself out of. On the day that her publisher threatens to drop her as an author, she finds an ad online about a guy selling an entire romantic wedding package at half the price. The catch, buyers should be genuinely in love with each other. 
In Eve's head, it sounds like a good idea to trick the seller, a practical business journalist, into thinking that she has a boyfriend whom she loves very much. Her heart says otherwise.

"I have to get away from here!" Maya, Estella's personal maid immediately came with a big luggage carrying Estella's stuff. 

"We can use the secret escape route if you want, Your Highness." Estella nodded as she changed into a civilian outfit prepared by Maya to disguise herself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Find her and bring her back alive! Let she knows who is in charge." The finality in Adrian's tone brings a darkness that he will forever regret.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"I never seen you here before. I'm Luca." He approached Estella with a warm smile, something that she never experienced from her own husband.

"I'm Estella." She blushed and immediately looking away from him, wary that she may have reveal herself to this strange man.

"Your Ma- ah Estella, I see you have know Luca." Maya interrupted the awkward exchange between the pair. She smiles knowingly to them as she walked away unnoticed

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tell me Adrian. Have you ever, even once treats me like your own wife?!" The formality between the rulers of the kingdom is gone and the only thing left is a pained wife and a regretful husband.

"Forgive me."

"I would never." 

How Adrian wishes he could turn back time...

She cares for him but hates the way she does.  He is always on her mind since that day. But in contrast, he hated her for that. She wants to make it up to him but he avoids her like dirt. Sometimes he is good, sometimes he is the worsest. She hated how unpredictable he is and how he messes with her life. But she loves him, and she doesn't want to admit it.

That was in the last year of middle school.

But is this going to be a hell of a year for Ria? Or is this going to be a chance to get close with Keith and clear some issues?

Blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pill?

When the words came out, the guests who had been disinterested by the name returned their attention to the show.

For a martialist, it's imperative that they know how important a medicinal Dan pill was for improving their cultivation, especially for something like the Xuan Yin Dan pills which greatly benefits a user in breaking through to the lower celestial realm.

For a place the size of Glass City, which family didn't have at least one child trying to break into the lower celestial realm?

The Dan pills on the mainland are divided into nine ranks with a subdivision of ordinary, blue patterned, yellow patterned, and red patterned to showcase their quality.

In Glass City, the majority of medicinal pills on sale in the market are usually in the lower tier market, fourth rank and lower with most of it being ordinary pills. Also, this field was mostly monopolized by the Alchemist Association with very few products making it into a third-party reseller.

Starting from the blue pattern and up to the yellow pattern, the Alchemist Association will only supply it to the royal family or some local officials for consumption, meaning average citizens will have nearly no possibility of buying one without connection.

Then finally that leaves the red patterned Dan pills, the rarest and finest one can make. Only a senior alchemist would have a possible chance of succeeding in making one due to its complexity and experience needed to achieve the results.

Yet this time in the Treasure Assembly Hall, they are bringing out a set of blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pills, that's huge news!

"If a martialist consumes a blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pill, they will be able to absorb the Dark Yin energy hidden in the heavens and earth for ten days to strengthen their veins and tendons. So, everyone, ready yourselves and your pockets. the starting price will be at five hundred silvers per pill." The shopkeeper for the auction was clearly a veteran when it came to enticing the audience. One explanation down and the people's interest were roused.

One must know, an ordinary Xuan Yin Dan pill can only last for three days before the effects wear off, and those are normally sold for two hundred silver in the Alchemist Association, making this a great buy.

Ling Yue was also shocked and surprised on the side by the asking price. She only took the pills out in hopes of making a decent profit, but out of her expectations, the value was far higher than what she imagined. It's no wonder the Alchemist Association inside Glass City was so fat that even oil could be churned out.

One bidding down, the first pill got sold for eight hundred silvers, then the second and third were sold for eight hundred and nine hundred respectively.

Everyone, of the five blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pills we have here for sale today, only two remains. We intend to auction these two off as a set! If anyone is interested then this is your last chance. Remember, the Alchemist Association won't sell any Dan pills of this fine quality to normal folks so don't miss this opportunity!" The shopkeeper suddenly had a change of mind at the last minute and pulled out this stunt.

Those that were still hesitant over the high calling price couldn't keep still anymore, raising the atmosphere of the bidding war to a whole new level.

"A thousand silver"

"A thousand and one hundred silver. "

" A thousand and two hundred silver. "

" A thousand and five hundred silver!"

Like Ling Yue herself, all of the other guests were looking over at the source of that wealthy individual due to the sudden price hike.

From among the crowd, a man in green clothes stood up. When the shopkeeper overseeing the auction saw the identity of this buyer, his face instantly changed because the individual in question had a cauldron emblem with a five embroidered to his chest area. This man was none other than the vice-president of the Alchemist Association.

The members of the Alchemist Association are also joining in on the bid?

So what happened was that the vice-president only came today to procure some herbs for the association, but when he heard a rare product like the blue patterned Dan pill was on the item roster, he had a sudden change of heart and joined in.

In his mind, he wanted to see what sort of people would dare go behind the Alchemist Association's back and concoct these blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pills.

The guests were abuzz, even the Alchemist Association is making a move, seems those blue patterned pills were the real deal.

But with the Alchemist Association stepping forward, the other martialists and families in Glass City can only back down instead, leaving the man in green uncontested. These blue Xuan Yin Dan pills may be precious, but it's still nothing more than just two pills.

In the end, those two pills were taken away by the Alchemist Association in Glass City for a thousand and five hundred silver.

In reality, this price had far exceeded the actual value of these blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pills, but it's not like the vice president wanted them for self-use, it's for studying.

Giving a quick calculation, Ling Yue figured after the fee reduction, she will still get a thousand three hundred and fifty silver. That number was far higher than her expectations.

If a second-rate blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pill can sell for such a high price, then it's no wonder the shopkeeper back at Autumn Maple Town would say a fifth rank medicinal pill will cost tens of thousands of gold.

After the blue patterned Xuan Yin Dan pills were all sold, what came next were a half a dozen weapons and armors of decent quality. Surprisingly, there were also some nine to eighth grade martial tablets up for sale.

Ling Yue already had the "Lightning Burst Fist" and the "Jade Flower Hand" techniques in her arsenal, so toward these other techniques, she didn't hold much interest.

Like her, the woman in red didn't bid for anything either.

Then when the auction finally reached the tenth piece for sale, the Fire Viper eggs, Ling Yue made her move.

"There are thirty Fire Viper eggs here, harvested by a mercenary group after they slayed a pair of Fire Vipers in their cave den. Fire Vipers are a second rank spirit beast. When their eggs are hatched, the baby snakes can either be raised into fine pets or be used in medicinal purposes. Thirty Fire Viper eggs, they will be sold as a whole. Starting price will be a thousand silver!" As soon as the shopkeeper announced the pricing, Ling Yue immediately called 'Scam!'.

She originally thought her pills would allow her to make a decent profit, but now that things have come to this, she can only resort to using the sack of gold she got from the river incident.

But then again, the Fire Viper eggs was indeed worth that price. After all, a spirit beast was still a spirit beast. If one can bring the eggs to an animal store and have them hatched, the pricing for the baby snakes will be quite a number.

That's already excluding the fact that in the Alchemist Association's hand, those alchemists can turn these eggs into medicinal pills, flipping the price several folds or more!

"A thousand one hundred silver. "

" A thousand three hundred silver. "

Sure enough, not long after the bidding war started, only the Alchemist Association and several pet stores inside Glass City remains in the competition.

This steep climb in pricing didn't stop until the pricing reached an eye popping price of two thousand and two hundred silver, then it gradually slowed down.

After all, instead of breaking the bank for these eggs, its more feasible to simply hire a mercenary team to find another batch for themselves in the jungle.

"Two thousand and three hundred silver." Seeing the timing was right, Ling Yue called out her bid.

Seeing someone suddenly calling out a price, those attending the auction all looked over to the source. Finding a young girl sitting there, these people were all curious as to what her background was to dare go against the Alchemist Association.

But then that's when they saw the woman in red next to Ling Yue.

Noticing the woman, even the Alchemist Association's vice president had a change of expression because they all thought Ling Yue had come with her due to their close seating.

Naturally, the woman in red also noticed the inquiring gazes by the crowd. Not saying a word, this woman only picked up her cup and started to sip the tea inside.

Its unsure why to Ling Yue, but after she made her bid, the entire crowd went silent like a flame being clipped out. In the end, she won the thirty Fire Viper eggs using two thousand and three hundred silver.

At this moment, Li Du's identity was of great convenience to him.
He was the second-largest stakeholder in Harry -Winston Inc. The Harry Winston Group had a professional jewelry luxury sales channel. Although the gold treasure was not a jewel, it was also considered a luxury item.
The purchase of jewelry luxuries and expensive collectibles were often done by the same group of people. Many of the gold items that Li Du found were works of art, not just metal.
Through the network of the Harry Winston Group, the origin of the gold had been confirmed. Li Du contacted the old man Martin, who was an expert in history. He would be able to provide him with assurance in this regard.
In addition, Li Du also told the old man of the discovery of the ancient rock paintings in the Blue Ridges. That had excited the old man very much. He had contacted a group of American archaeology and history scholars to back Li Du's claim.
After Steve received the coordinates from Li Du, he flew to Blue Ridges. He was now examining the rock paintings in the cave. When he ended the investigation, Li Du would be able to announce it to the public.
Now the old man and his high-profile companions were working for Li Du, to identify a series of gold artifacts. Then, he would put them up for sale via the connections of the Harry Winston Group.
There were mostly gold ingots amongst the treasure. As the smelting technology had been relatively primitive, the gold ingots of the Kochena tribe contained impurities and needed to be refined.
Through the old man, Li Du contacted a precious metal identification expert named Francis. Francis became a visiting consultant of Li Du's company and was responsible for the pricing of precious metals.
In addition to these gold ingots, the Tavisi tribe still had some more gold waiting for Li Du to take over. Hence, he needed an expert to provide him with professional advice.
There was also snake venom and snake serum. Those things were also very valuable. Similarly, Li Du needed professional staff to provide him with advice. Hence, he wanted to find a biopharmaceutical or reptilian expert.
It happened that the Magic Hand had set up a party for Li Du once he knew that Li Du was coming to settle down in Los Angeles. At the party, Li Du talked about his needs, and Magic Hand introduced a man to him.
That person was not a biopharmaceutical or reptilian expert. He was a man who raised snakes, and his name was Griffin Wiesler. He made money from catching snakes and breeding them. Hence, he was very familiar with snake venom and snake serum.
Magic Hand passed Griffin's contact information and address to Li Du. So after the party, Li Du went to visit the snake-raising man, bringing along Lu Guan and Brother Wolf.
Griffin lived in Pasadena, a place similar to Santa Monica, but larger and more populous. It was a medium-sized satellite city in the Greater Los Angeles area.
It was located in the northern part of Greater Los Angeles, fifteen kilometers from the old downtown Los Angeles. It was connected to the city center and other communities by highways and subways.
Li Du had already seen that place beforehand. He was more familiar with Pasadena than Santa Monica, because the protagonists in his favorite drama, The Big Bang Theory, lived there.
In Los Angeles, he began to enjoy the convenience of a modern city. The subway was well connected and more comfortable than driving. Staying in the car all day can tire people out, and taking the subway was a different experience.
The snake farm could not be located in the heart of the city. Griffin's farm was Northwest of Pasadena. There were also many vegetables and animal farms around the area.
Once he was out of the subway, Li Du got onto a cab and had a smooth journey.
Griffin's snake farm was unusual. It was like a bunker. There were two layers of walls outside. Due to fear that a poisonous snake would escape, the security was strict.
Li Du and others got out of the car and that very moment, someone came over to drive them away. "Hey, don't stop here, hurry and leave, it's dangerous."
Lu Guan went ahead and said, "Thank you for the tip, man. We have deliberately come all the way here. We are looking for Mr. Griffin Weissler. Can you help us find him?"
The man, who was a security guard, looked at them. Suspicious, he asked, "Why are you guys looking for Griffin?"
Li Du said, "Wanted to see if we can work with him. We are here to offer him a deal. Of course, under the condition that he is willing to take up the partnership."
The man told them to wait outside and then went in. After a short while, a handsome middle-aged man who looked to be of mixed race walked out and asked, "I'm Griffin Wiesler. Who wants to work with me?"
Li Du extended his hand and said, "Hello, I am Li Du."
Griffin shook his hand and said, "Alright, come with me. Be careful. Since you guys are here to look me up for a partnership, you must know what I raise here."
Li Du took a few people to go through the first gate, and after walking some distance, a building appeared. That was Griffin's office.
At the entrance of the building, there was a young man who was handling some snake eggs under the sun. There was a small cage next to him, with more than a dozen small snakes in it. The eggs were probably going to hatch soon.
Looking at everyone, the youth glanced at the older man and asked, "Griffin, these are the customers who want to buy snakes? Asians? Are they reliable?"
Griffin replied casually, "Who knows, we haven't talked about business yet. It would depend on what they offer. Let me talk to them."
Hearing the conversation, Li Du interrupted, "Oh, sorry, you guys must have misunderstood. We are not here to buy snakes."
"Then you must be here to buy snake venom," Griffin started to grow cautious. "I don't sell that sort of thing easily. Have you guys permission to buy it?"
The youth by his side tilted his head and analyzed the visitors. Then he asked, "You guys are not here to buy snakes? Seemed like you are a Chinese. You Chinese like to eat snakes. Why don't you buy a few of our snakes and take them home to cook up?"
Li Du said, "I'm indeed Chinese. However, there are not many Chinese who like eating snakes…"
"How can that be?" The youth pursed his lips. "Our snakes have all been snapped up by you Chinese. God, you guys really eat everything, dog meat, snake meat, and any organs of animals!"
Griffin waved his hands. "Hey, Singer, shut up, don't quarrel with the customers."
Saying that, he looked at Li Du unenthusiastically and said again, "Alright, man, you're not here to buy snakes. Then what are you here for?"
Li Du took out two small bottles of serum and two small bottles of snake venom. Then he started to say, "I'm here to…"
He just started talking when the youth interrupted him instantly. He smiled, "Ha, Griffin, these people are in our trade. You guys are here to promote your serum and snake venom? If that's your plan, then you've come to the wrong place. Besides, I dare to bet that those things you have in your hands come from pet snakes, right? To be frank, that's trash!"
The attitude of the other party was very problematic. Li Du started to feel unhappy. Frowning, he said, "Can you guys let me finish? First off, I must tell you that these materials in my hand came from free-range wild snakes. The venom that you guys produce, however, comes from farm snakes, right?"


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

I have always had a love for animals and they for me. When I was a child, my mother had to keep me from approaching all kinds of animals, large and small. It didn't matter whether it was an average common cat or a rattlesnake in the wild. My mother always found me talking to them, stroking them, and singing to them. To me, they seemed to understand. They looked me in the eye as I spoke to them, seemed drawn to me and I to them.
It never seemed strange to me, but my mother would talk about it like the strangest phenomenon, "She would approach a bangle tiger if I let her!" 
This caused my mother to keep an extra close eye on me. My location and what I was up to was always on her mind. But that didn't stop me from talking to the creatures I loved most. A lot more than people.
People made fun of my name. Janill was hard for them to pronounce and it was off from the common Janell that others were used to. I always got called, "Janiel or Jan-il. Like Neil or Jan is ill." Aside from their common English incompetence, the kids my age made fun of my hair. It was a deep strawberry blonde, almost a sort of orange. People said my hair was orange and I was a white skinned and orange haired clown. My freckles should be "covered up". It didn't help that I didn't care much for fancy clothes or brushing my hair. I often found myself more enthralled with the world around me. I was exploring private properties covered with foliage and old buildings, pretending I was a part of the animals world that I more thoroughly enjoyed than my own.
People didn't like me much and a part of me was sad, but I always found reason to be happy in my life. I enjoyed the moments of a friend here and there. Accepting the inevitable when they decided to no longer be friends with me. I couldn't help the way I turned out and I wasn't about to change myself for a bunch of wishy washy people.
Nine years later, graduated and living on my own, I am free to be myself. I chose nicer clothes these days. Not fancy, but more relaxed with t-shirt and jeans. My hair is much better, brushed, well cared for, but in a high ponytail so to keep it off my neck. 
Late September was still pretty warm and I did much better in the cold.
After taking care of my grandmother at her home, I was off to go purchase my first python. I bought an Emerald Tree python and it would be arriving at Mystics and Exotics pet store. I had to buy a HUGE habitat for him and have it custom built in my grandmothers entryway. Yes. I love with my grandmother, but it was her idea. She's my fathers mother and after his passing, she asked me to come live with her. I was only ten and my mother refused, but after turning eighteen, I came straight here. 
My mom didn't like that my grandma encouraged my obsession with animals and she was even the one who told me about the Mystics and Exotics pet shop. Apparently, only a few people knew of this shop and it was very exclusive. I had to give my grandmothers name and he had to call and verify with her that I was who I said I was.
At first, I was super excited at all the exotic animals. Snakes, foxes, hedgehogs, monkeys, and so much more could be found there. Some were for sale and others were just a part of the shop. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. There weren't tiny cages, scruffy floors, or cashiers. It was all done online. Ordering the habitat, the pet, and even the care products were delivered, installed by a professional and even cared for by the M&E's employees. 
And their shop, if you can even call it that, it a huge building the size of IKEA with enormous habitats, all behind perfect shining glass. The floors were legitimate black marble with gold twining and the ceilings were arched and made of glass. Each habitat had natural lighting from the ceilings and I was told by the oh-so-handsome shop owner Golden, that the ceilings even open.
I only met Golden the one time when I was making an order with a clerk. I had thought the clerk was pleasing to look at with his aqua blue eyes and rich chocolate brown hair that hung to his waist on one side and was shaved on the other. An edgy haircut I always enjoyed, especially on guys. However, the moment I laid eyes on Golden, he was an intruder. A gorgeous, heavenly scented, and deep voiced intruder. He had the longest hair I had seen on a guy in person. It went to his hips. You'd think that he'd tie it up in some way to make it easier to deal with, but no. The jerk let those pitch black silken strands dance around his well built figure and send off a scent that made me think of autumn leaves, cool earth, and warm sun rays. I had the hardest time concentrating on what he was telling me after his hair tickled my shoulder when he reached over me. He could've sold me every dang animal in the book and I would've agreed. Especially when he caught my gaze with those gold colored eyes. Makes sense his parents named his Golden, in two ways. Those eyes and his perfect EVERYTHING!
Leaving afterwards helped, but only a pinch. I found myself fantasizing about our next meeting and things I could ask him or say to him to get him talking and hopefully laugh. Maybe I could make an impression on him? 
I slapped my face. For the fifth time today. I was excited about my snake. I have been WAITING for this day and it was going to be the highlight of my life. Not some sexy shop owner who would never think twice about little ol me. A nineteen year old who lived and took care of her grandmother. I have barely tasted life and he was at least twenty four. I was a cute little girl to him, at the very most. That's if he found anything about me cute. 
Hopefully it would just be Skyler. Yes. I can convince myself that I am actually hoping that.

A Yinstagram model goes to a beautiful spot in the woods for a photo shoot. Unknowingly, someone had his eyes on her and for quite some time.

"Daddy, you sure have a lot of free time recently." Ji Yanran smiled at Ji Ruozhen's image on the video chat.
"I can't help it; my future son-in-law is far too talented!" Ji Ruozhen looked like he was joking.
"What has he done now?" Ji Yanran blinked to look as if she didn't know, despite the fact Han Sen had already told her.
"Didn't he tell you? He used a spirit to beat a dozen elites and Huang Yunlong," Ji Ruozhen said.
"I only heard he used a humanoid pet beast soul to kill a bunch of thieves that sought to rob him," Ji Yanran said, smiling.
"Thieves, huh?" Ji Ruozhen smiled and asked her, "Baby Daughter, did you ask him what level his beast soul is?"
"Super beast soul," Ji Yanran replied with certainty.
"So, it is a super beast soul?" Ji Ruozhen had already guessed that much, but he was still taken aback to hear it confirmed.
For Han Sen to have a beast soul like that, he had to have killed at least one other super creature. It was hard not to be surprised by it.
The Ji family spent a lot of wealth to fund the killing of just one super creature, and that was in the First God's Sanctuary.
Han Sen had killed at least two super creatures in the Second God's Sanctuary, all by himself. This was the sort of goal many families had been vying to achieve over the past few generations.
Having a super pet and raising it to a battle mode was a far better investment than Ji Qing's super armor. The boon of power Han Sen had received would work exceptionally well when facing off against other super creatures in the future.
With that super pet by his side, Han Sen was sure to kill many more super creatures from now on. And Ji Qing's super armor hadn't lent her much aid, overall.
"Did Han Sen tell you how many super creatures he has actually killed?" Ji Ruozhen asked.
"He has killed two in total." Ji Yanran only told her father what Han Sen had told her. Han Sen had placed the kill of the Deadeye Peacock on the little angel.
Ji Ruozhen sighed and said, "I thought Ji Qing was lucky, but Han Sen's luck far exceeds hers."
"That super pet just evolved into battle mode, and Han Sen hasn't brought her to fight any other super creatures yet. Huang Yunlong's death came at what was practically her first trial run." Ji Yanran laughed. She continued by saying, "Oh, and Han Sen said he will provide us with the frosty bear's essence."
"And what are the conditions of such an offering?" Ji Ruozhen asked.
"Dad, don't say that. Why would there be any conditions or strings attached? He only said that it was a gift for me and I can do whatever I want with it." Ji Yanran blinked.
"There really aren't any conditions?" Ji Ruozhen asked again, with much surprise.
"There aren't. But because he's been so good to your daughter, you can't allow yourself to be in his debt," Ji Yanran slyly suggested, acting all cute.
"This Han Sen is a smart guy, I'll give him that. Giving it to you as a gift will undoubtedly benefit him more than if he were to sell it to us." Ji Ruozhen smiled and finished by saying, "He has very good judgment, to think this way. He is not someone who hankers for a little profit every chance he gets."
"I know; I'm not blind. You didn't think I'd pick a fool, did you?" Ji Yanran smiled and proceeded to say, "Han Sen told me he'll be staying in the Icefield, and that we can come pick up the Life Geno essence whenever we want."
"Sure. You tell Little Han that the Ji family does not accept charity, and things aren't accepted without something given in return. I'll go back and have a talk with your uncle. We'll give Han Sen a reasonable reward for this gift. Fret not." Ji Ruozhen then paused for a bit before asking, "Oh, and tell Little Han that the Ji family is formally requesting the opportunity to cooperate and hunt a super creature together, in unison. If he is interested, I'm sure we'll have much to discuss. And in regards to that other Life Geno essence..."
"Han Sen agreed to sell it to the Qin family," Ji Yanran answered immediately.
"The Qin family?" Ji Ruozhen lowered his head to think for a bit, and then continued by saying, "Not bad. He's got his head screwed on right. He sure knows what he's doing."
…
Ji Yanran did not lie. Han Sen was indeed planning on selling it to the Qin family. After all, he could not absorb the Life Geno essence of a first generation super creature, and holding onto it would just make others jealous. He would also maximize the profit he could receive by selling it as early as possible.
Han Sen was a part of the Special Security Operation Team, and it looked after his family. Considering his relationship with Qin Xuan, he was almost obligated to sell it to the Qin family.
The news of the sale of the two Life Geno essences, and the fact he was in possession of a super pet, became well-known facts in the Alliance. A lot of key officers and faction officials were rocked by the news. A lot of people who knew Han Sen in a closer capacity were asked about him. Did he have more Life Geno essences? Would he be willing to cooperate, maybe even help hunt a super creature?
Han Sen's answer, of course, was no. He rejected all requests and remained in the shelter, refusing to go anywhere. All he did was practice his Dongxuan Sutra while waiting for the peaches to ripen.
Even though he was in the Goddess Shelter, Han Sen still felt the itch of numerous eyes watching him wherever he went. He supposed that was the price of being famous.
But overall, Han Sen cared little. A month later, the season for the peaches to ripen had fast approached. Han Sen summoned Beetle Knight to camouflage himself while he was in the shelter, so he could sneak out unseen.
The whole world was paying heed to Han Sen's every movement. Having a super pet made him the focus of everyone. No one would miss a beat when it came to his wheeling and dealing, coming and going.
This was especially true when it came to the fighting of super creatures. If Han Sen was seen hunting a super creature, countless people would visit him, using a flurry of stretched excuses for why he should sell a Life Geno essence to them.
Han Sen did not mind selling them, but he did not want to sell them to just anyone. Regardless, this was primarily why he chose to sneak out without leaving a trace for others to follow.
To get the mystic fruit from the giant peach tree in the Peach Forest, Han Sen brought the silver fox and the little angel. He wanted to grab a peach to see if he could unlock the first tier of the Dongxuan Sutra.
Entering the Peach Forest once more, Han Sen had far more courage. Even if the pink snake brought an army with him, he was confident he could slay them all, with the silver fox and little angel by his side.
But nothing of the sort happened. The silver fox's presence shooed off any creatures along the way, which disappointed Han Sen. He was looking forward to the possibility of slaying a host of sacred-blood snakes, so he could gobble them up and get closer to maxing out his sacred geno points.
But for some reason, the pink snake and its legion of slithering serpents did not appear until he had arrived at the giant tree.


In the magnificent interstellar era, mankind has finally developed teleport technology, but when trying to teleport, they are not sent to the future, the past, or any land known to men...

This mysterious space is called God’s Sanctuary, where lived numerous unknown creatures. Here, humans will make the greatest leap in their evolution to create the most glorious epoch in history.

"Sacred-blood creature black beetle killed. Beast soul of sacred-blood black beetle gained. Eat the meat of sacred-blood black beetle to gain 0 to 10 geno points randomly."

With the way that humans had been conquering nature, virgin lands, unclaimed by humans, were becoming fewer and fewer. Even the African rainforest and the Amazon rainforest were dwindling in size as the days went by and, every day, a new animal species ceased to exist. Although on land, there were still species that had yet to be discovered by humans. The main focus was all on small animals, such as arthropods. As for large animals, there weren't many left that had not yet been discovered.

But the ocean was different.

About 70% of the Earth's surface area was covered by the ocean, and, hiding within the blue ocean, was a large number of unknown, mysterious creatures––especially the mysterious, deep-sea organisms that were beyond human imagination. Scientists have pointed out that human understanding of the deep sea was not even close to the little knowledge they had about the surface of Mars.

Zhang Zian understood what Reina meant.

Every year, thousands of new marine species were being discovered. The population size for those newly discovered species was unknown––maybe the one discovered was the last of its kind, or maybe there were still millions more of it out there… anything was possible. Before the investigation was concluded, they couldn't be arbitrarily listed in the International List of Endangered Animals; therefore, they were not protected by the law, which allowed some space for manipulations.

In China, cats and dogs account for almost 90% of the pet sales market, while it might not even be up to ten percent in Germany. The German pet market, however, was far more developed than Zhang Zian imagined. From Reina, Zian saw a new method he could use to make a difference, aside from completely relying on the selling of cats and dogs.

Previously, Zhang Zian had also considered fish as an option, since, among pets, fish were one of the more important ones. As a coastal city, however, Binhai City lacked many things, but fish were definitely not one of them. If one were to head to the night market during summer with just twenty to thirty dollars, they could stuff themselves full with seafood until they puked at any stall.

There were a few aquariums in Binhai City, but their business conditions were basically bleak. Most of their sales were from the tropical fish and cold water fish, which were bought wholesale from Guangzhou and Jinmen. China had three major fish distribution centers: Guang, Jin, An––which represented Anshan.

With the aquariums as a precedent, Zhang Zian never did make up his mind about taking on the aquarium route.

The second floor was very spacious, but, relatively speaking, the area occupied by the marine life section was smaller when compared to the reptile section that took up most of the space. Perhaps the Germans have a preference for reptiles…  
 
A young boy, aged around twelve to thirteen, was lingering around the glass display case for the Rhinoceros Iguana. 
 
It was also possible that reptiles required a larger living space.

An adult male customer, who looked like he came from Asia, had some communication problems with one of the staff members. Reina apologized to Zhang Zian before heading over to deal with the matter.

Zian turned around to see that the elfins were all intrigued by the various different pets in the shop and, since he did not have anything to do, Zian decided to tag along and take a look at how Reina ran her business.

After getting closer, Zian realized that Reina's staff was very enthusiastic when dealing with their customers, but, looking at the professional aspect, the staff was not proficient enough. There were a few occasions where the staff could not answer the customer's query. It might be due to the large number of pets within the shop––if anyone was able to familiarize themself with any one of them, they could probably be a zoologist by then.

The Asian customer had his eyes on a ball python and a terrarium. Just when he was ready to make the payment for the two, one of the staff members held him back and stopped him from purchasing the terrarium. The customer could not speak German, nor was he proficient in English, which resulted in a problem in their communication that caused a dispute between the two.

Zhang Zian noticed that the mobile phone in the hands of the Asian customer was from a China brand. On the main screen of the mobile phone was the familiar WeChat icon, so Zian asked, "Hello, are you from China?"

"Yes! Are you a staff of this shop?" The Asian customer looked as if he had met his savior.

"No, I'm not. I'm here on a trip," Zhang Zian said. "Are you having some problems?"

"It's like this… I want to purchase this ball python and this terrarium, but this unreasonable staff refused to let me purchase this terrarium and kept forcing me to purchase another terrarium that was more expensive!" the customer said furiously. "I didn't expect hard-selling to also exist in Germany! Can you help me file a complaint about him?"

The customer had chosen a golden Desert Spider Ball Python and a very ordinary terrarium. He was playing around with the ball python in the palm of his hand, just like someone who was used to handling snakes.

Fina stared coldly at the Ball Python, looking as if she might tear it in half at any time.
 
Zhang Zian hurriedly gestured towards Fina, motioning for her to calm down. If Fina were to attack the Ball Python, she would lose her invisibility status and would certainly shock everyone in the vicinity.

Most Ball Pythons were gentle by nature. They were not aggressive, were not poisonous, and they didn't attack people.

Zhang Zian looked at the terrarium a few times, but he was not able to see a problem with the snake and the terrarium. As Zian was unable to understand why the staff refused to let the customer purchase the terrarium, he then relayed the question to Reina in English.

Reina pointed at the details on the Ball Python's glass display case and explained to the customer, "I'm sorry, sir. The Ball Python that you have chosen is 55 centimeters in length, but the terrarium that you have chosen is just 100 centimeters in length. According to the law in Germany, the minimum length for terrariums that are meant for reptiles must be no less than two times that of the reptile's length. As you had chosen a terrarium that did not meet the minimum requirements, we are unable to sell it to you. You will have to either choose a smaller Ball Python or a bigger terrarium."

After she finished explaining, Reina took out a copy of the Code of Law from the service desk on the second floor. She flipped it open and showed the law to the customer. The pictures and text within the Code of Law provided a detailed description of the breeding instructions and related laws and regulations that involved reptiles.

Zhang Zian relayed Reina's words to the customer in Chinese, and, at the same time, cleared his own doubts.

The customer was still dissatisfied after Zhang Zian clarified things, but he had no other choice. He was in a foreign land, so he needed to follow their rules.

With Zhang Zian's help, the customer chose a larger terrarium and bought a heating mat, matching lamps for the terrarium, a water bowl, and mats. The price of the Desert Spider Ball Python was 399 Euros, and the price for the terrarium and the various accessories were also about 300 something Euros. All in all, it was still much cheaper than raising a cat or dog.

At the time of payment, Reina handed a copy of a document to the customer. On the front page of the document was the information about the Ball Python from the price, breed, size, origin, scientific name, and more. The customer was required to fill in his name, passport number, and other personal information on the second page, while the third page was filled up with legal terms and disclaimers. Just looking at it would make one's head throb. The pet sale agreement from Zhang Zian's shop was nothing compared to this document. 

The customer probably could not understand the German words on the third page, so he briefly swept a glance over, filled in his information, and completed the payment.

The customer's impression of the pet shop wasn't a good one, but he was very grateful that Zhang Zian helped him clear up  the misunderstanding. Zhang Zian generously said to him, "We're both Chinese, so it is just right that we help one another out––especially when we're away from home.

Reina, too, breathed a sigh of relief. At the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, there were always visits from foreign customers with language barriers.
