CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: THE WOLF KING? GOODBYE LITTLE PAPER DOLL! (ONE MORE)

The night was bright.

Su Ping sat atop an Elite Level towering Forest Wolf, with waves of Mental Fluctuation rippling around him.

Su Ping opened his eyes with satisfaction, a trace of joy in their depths. Ordinary Eighth Rank!

After several days, and through these days of meditation, he had finally achieved another breakthrough in his Realm.

Besides Su Ping’s truly excellent spiritual Talent, there was also the effect of the Spirit-Infused Ancient Tea that Qin Xiaoxue had given him to drink before.

Each time Su Ping meditated, he could feel the terrifying effect of that Spirit-Infused Ancient Tea, as well as its benefits and blessings for his subsequent meditation.

This meant that even though Su Ping hadn’t been as diligent before, his rate of improvement could still be called heaven-defying.

And now...

The past few days could be counted as the most diligent days of Su Ping’s life. They were also the busiest. However, this busyness was different from serving customers; Su Ping not only willingly embraced it, but he also enjoyed it.

Firstly, regarding savings and deposits, Su Ping had set aside one million for daily expenses and emergencies. The rest was all used to purchase Forest Wolf cubs.

Now, the previously 26-member Forest Wolf pack had finally been expanded!

Su Ping rounded up the number. Not counting his own Xiao Qing, the Wolf Pack now numbered 50!

In other words, he had bought a total of 25 Forest Wolf cubs this time!

This move could also be considered a major one.

He made a direct phone purchase from the Breeder Association, each cub costing about 300,000 to 500,000. The price wasn’t expensive; it was equivalent to buying at cost.

However, for Su Ping, these little fellows were worth far more than their price tag. They also represented his future foundation and companions. At the same time, they were new family members for Heart of Woods.

After all, Su Ping had given up on the business of directly reselling Forest Wolves; the profit was low, and he couldn’t bear to sell the Forest Wolves he raised himself.

Of course, more importantly, there were the Experience Points provided by these little fellows. With twice as many wolf cubs, just satisfying their intimacy requirement once would yield about 10 Experience Points each; for 25 cubs, that would be more than 300 Experience Points.

Adding in the Experience Points gained from their Cultivation, growth, and daily interactions, the Evolution of Wanmu Wolf was progressing. Su Ping estimated that in about two more days, he could complete it!

Thinking of all this, Su Ping didn’t even feel sleepy. As he watched the little wolves that had come into the jungle and were already learning to play with the larger Forest Wolves, he wished each one of them would grow up quickly.

However, rubbing his temples, Su Ping felt that he really needed to hire some people. Looking after and training Pet Beasts was something Su Ping couldn’t entrust to others. But day by day, there were still various miscellaneous tasks that he needed to handle. However, he didn’t feel quite at ease with those he might hire. Someone like Li Shu, whom he knew well and could trust, was better; for the rest, Su Ping had no trust.

At this thought, Su Ping began to miss Qin Xiaoxue. Miss Qin had been of great help to him these past few days. Apart from Qin Xiaoxue, the only other person he could trust was his own father.

The more he tried not to think about it, the angrier he became. He picked up his cell phone and made a call to Su Anyong.

Indeed, while previously he could still get through, now the voice prompt on the call had changed to "The subscriber you dialed has turned off their phone," leaving Su Ping with no way to vent his frustration.

However, just as he was thinking, his phone really did DING with a new message. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a message from Su Anyong, but from the other person Su Ping was thinking about.

[Qin Xiaoxue] I’ve arrived at Magic Capital and just remembered I forgot to pay you the Cultivation fee. But I’m not going to pay it now. I’ll mail you something from Magic Capital. Remember, from now on, I’m a permanent VIP at your place! All future Cultivations are on the house for me!

Hmm?

It’s rare for Miss Qin to remember skipping out on the bill, but Su Ping didn’t really plan on asking Qin Xiaoxue for the money. Obviously, it’s not in her nature to skip out on a bill.

However, instead of transferring the money, Qin Xiaoxue mailed something? What kind of item could it be, for her to be so bold? Permanent VIP? All future Cultivations free of charge?

Su Ping certainly believed that Qin Xiaoxue wasn’t one to make empty boasts. Since she said so, she must have the confidence and backing for it. And thinking about this wealthy lady’s usual way of doing things, Su Ping couldn’t help but feel eager.

Could it be that Natural Essence she mentioned before? But that’s unlikely. Emperor Level materials and treasures... even with Qin Xiaoxue’s prominent status, such things probably couldn’t be mobilized so easily.

Su Ping didn’t inquire further, simply replying in the message:

[Su Ping] No problem!

Thinking here, Su Ping once again recalled Qin Xiaoxue’s previous mention of that matter concerning the Evolution of the Crown Wolf Emperor.

The future Evolution of Woodhead... is it Emperor Level? Emperor Level... ah. That’s someone truly standing at the pinnacle of the Dragon Nation’s hierarchy. Such a Beast Tamer could already be addressed with a title of respect. If Qin Xiaoxue’s future really leads to her successfully attaining a King Level title, which Pet Beast would she be titled with? Wolf King? It seems unlikely, as there are too many powerful Beast Tamers with Wolf Tribe Pet Beasts. The title ’Wolf King’... only someone who ranks among the very best even among Emperor-level Beastmasters specializing in wolf-type Pet Beasts would be qualified to be called that, right? Regardless, such an individual would be considered top-tier in the entire Jianghai Province. After all, an Emperor Level individual could add ’Sky King’ after their surname. There are probably only a few in the entire Jianghai Province.

Recalling her words again, a bright light flashed in Su Ping’s eyes as he murmured, "Wolf King? The Beast Tamer examination? Suddenly, I’m feeling a rush of excitement!"

Su Ping, possessing the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, felt a confidence second to none.

In that moment, as Su Ping looked up at the sky, the light in his eyes shone brighter than the stars.

It’s a shame that such a rare surge of emotion was interrupted by a Wolf Howl!

Old Sha, seeing his young master had yet to make a move, began to urge him on:

"AWOO! (Hurry... this time... catch it!)"

Determination filled Old Sha’s eyes.

Su Ping came back to his senses. That’s right, even with the chaos of the past two days, Su Ping almost always engaged in a fixed activity every night!

That was to cross the forest, coming to his backyard, by the bank of the Lingxi River. To this creepy riverbank that appeared by night.

Waiting for the arrival of that little Paperman.

And indeed, over these past few days, the little Paperman had shown up every day without fail. After appearing, it wouldn’t waste words, directly engaging Old Sha, only to be instantly defeated and then vanish.

If not for Su Ping’s order not to harm it and to try to capture it alive, preferably captured alive, Old Sha would have bitten it to death long ago.

When had it ever felt so aggrieved and frustrated by a mere Ordinary Level little Paperman?

Looking at the irritated Old Sha, Su Ping also felt that, based on his understanding of this little Paperman over the past few days, he should try a different approach!

At the very least, I should first see what the deal is with this little Paperman!

All those days of encounters, though frequent, lasted only a few seconds each before it disappeared, not even giving Su Ping a chance to activate the Eye of Truth.
