After listening to Frank's explanation, Mo Yu couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly. He had to admit that the custom of arranged marriages was indeed common across the Dou Qi Continent, even in different regions and countries. The idea of marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers seemed impossible to escape. 

This made Mo Yu think of Xiao Yan, who also faced Nalan Yanran coming to his door for a breakup, bringing along a young man, likely from the Mo family. That incident led to the famous "Three-Year Agreement," which became the catalyst for Xiao Yan's rise as the formidable "Flame Emperor" who would later dominate the Great Thousand World. 

Unintentionally, Mo Yu began to picture himself as that young man in the scenario. After several lifetimes, he had never taken on such a role. 

"Why doesn't Master Frank personally end this engagement? With your status, it shouldn't be difficult. If you don't wish to intervene directly, why choose me among the many promising youths in the Jia Ma Empire?" Mo Yu asked, curiosity evident in his tone. 

Hearing this, Frank's old face showed a bitter smile. It was precisely because of his lofty status that he couldn't afford to be seen abusing his influence. Besides, the Jia Ma Empire and Mu Lan Empire already had strained relations, and making a public issue out of this could spark a diplomatic incident. 

Of course, Frank didn't want to explain all these intricate details to Mo Yu, so he simply said, "As an outsider, it's inappropriate for me to interfere in Xue Mei's family affairs, so I cannot personally intervene." 

At this point, Frank glanced at Xue Mei, who stood elegantly like a cold lotus. Neither she nor he wished for her exceptional talents to be buried by this marriage arrangement. 

Feeling her mentor's gaze, the silver-robed Xue Mei revealed a trace of reluctance on her delicate face. The prospect of marriage was unappealing to her, especially given her passion for alchemy. 

She then directed her bright eyes towards Mo Yu, wondering if the candidate her mentor had chosen could handle this matter. 

"So, Master Frank chose me because of my status as a weapon refiner?" Mo Yu speculated. 

Frank nodded with a smile, saying, "The family that has arranged a marriage with Xue Mei's family is renowned for weapon refining. With your expertise in this field, even the esteemed Clan Leader Ye Cong speaks highly of your skills. I believe you could resolve this matter peacefully." 

Mo Yu couldn't help but smirk. It seemed that Frank wanted him to stir up trouble and disrupt the marriage arrangements. The situation felt unreliable—what if the opposing party turned out to be a classic underdog who later made a comeback? That could mean big trouble. 

Of course, Mo Yu kept such complaints to himself. Besides, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, he knew only one "Son of Destiny"—Xiao Yan. He simply indulged in his own thoughts. 

"What is the strength of the strongest member of this family?" Mo Yu inquired. 

"West Wasteland City, Liu Clan. The strongest among them is their clan leader, who possesses the strength of a 2-Star Dou Ling," Xue Mei replied coldly, her voice enchanting. 

"A 2-Star Dou Ling, hmm..." Mo Yu glanced at Xue Mei, noting her exquisite beauty. This woman's appearance was indeed exceptional, with a charm and grace that could hardly be matched. 

Compared to her, even Xiao Yu seemed to lack this ethereal aura. Especially captivating was her flowing silver hair, which seemed to shimmer softly, enough to make many women envious. 

The close distance allowed Mo Yu to catch a faint scent of her perfume. If he pretended to be her lover to annul the engagement, he mused, losing such a beautiful daughter-in-law would certainly make the Liu Clan hold a grudge against him. 

Still, he could accept this task for the sake of the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill. The demand wasn't unreasonable. A 2-Star Dou Ling couldn't pose a serious threat to his life, and if things went south, he could always retreat with Zi Huo. 

"This matter... I can help Miss Xue Mei to dissolve this engagement. But could Master Frank grant me the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill in advance? I also have an urgent matter to attend to, which may take about a month before I can head to the Mu Lan Empire," Mo Yu said after some thought. 

His next destination was the Mu Lan Empire anyway, so there wouldn't be a conflict of interest. For the sake of the pill, he could agree to this request. 

Hearing Mo Yu's agreement, Frank breathed a sigh of relief. The marriage was still three months away, so a month's delay would be acceptable. If he had to handle this himself, a single 4th-tier pill wouldn't have been enough to solve the issue. 

Handing the jade bottle to Mo Yu, Frank said with a smile, "Your magical beast is progressing, and time is of the essence. When you've resolved your affairs, come find me at the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild." 

Taking the jade bottle, Mo Yu smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your trust, Master Frank. In a month, I will accompany Miss Xue Mei to the Mu Lan Empire." 

After speaking, Mo Yu inadvertently locked eyes with Xue Mei. Coincidentally, she also looked over, and seeing his direct gaze, her usually cold face flushed faintly with a hint of redness. 

Once Ye Cong saw off Frank and Xue Mei, Mo Yu returned to the hall and took out the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill. 

Seeing the pill finally in his hands, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile. With Zi Huo's successful advancement, its strength would become a formidable asset. 

He tossed the deep red pill into the Frost Beast Ring, and under Mo Yu's spiritual control, the pill slowly floated toward the slumbering Zi Huo. 

He directed a strand of his spiritual energy to open the beast's mouth, gently placing the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill inside. 

As the pill entered, Mo Yu immediately sensed a surge of potent energy flowing through Zi Huo's entire body. The influx of medicinal power accelerated the absorption of the mysterious beast's bloodline within Zi Huo. 

With the assimilation of the ancient beast's bloodline, Zi Huo's body began to grow visibly larger, and a powerful aura emanated continuously from its body. The flames on its purple wings burned even brighter, suggesting that it could reach a breakthrough within half a month. 

Seeing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile. As expected of a 4th-tier pill, its potency was truly remarkable. 

After withdrawing his spiritual power from the beast ring, Mo Yu noticed Ye Cong returning after seeing off Master Frank. 

"Clan Leader Ye, thank you for your help with the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill," Mo Yu said with a smile. 

Ye Cong waved his hand dismissively, looking slightly embarrassed. "You're too kind. We weren't of much help in this matter." 

Mo Yu simply smiled in response, unfazed by the comment. The result mattered most, after all. Gently rubbing the beast ring on his finger, Mo Yu's expression suddenly turned serious as he said, "Clan Leader Ye, Grand Elder Ye's treatment has begun, and my magical beast is nearing its breakthrough. It's time to gather our forces and annihilate the Mo family!" .
