CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 176: UNDERCURRENTS SURGING, CHU FAMILY FLOURISHES!

Although in this Beast Taming World, where mighty power belongs to oneself, there is no limit on the number of partners a strong person can have.

But Chu Yi felt that as a "Pure Love War God," a passionate boy dedicated to each girl, he must have a sense of responsibility.

Lias is his girlfriend; Jiang Qiuyun is his goddaughter; the Moon Princess is his fiancée; Chen Xi, his junior, is... a Wealthy Lady?

Chu Yi pondered for a moment and immediately clarified her position.

He took Chen Xi’s hand. It felt like silk dusted with pearl powder—soft and delicate. His handsome features revealed a faint smile.

"You’re right. Since I’ve taken your money, I am indeed responsible for you."

"Yes, yes." Chen Xi blushed shyly and nodded quickly.

A warm breeze drifted by. Strands of her hair brushed against her jade-like cheeks, making her complexion appear even more radiant, like the first snow under the moon.

She gazed infatuatedly at the young man, then suddenly adopted a fierce tone. "You promised! You can’t run away, or else I... I will bite you."

"Alright."

Chu Yi looked at this daring junior with new appreciation; she was surprisingly in line with his tastes.

This tone was somewhat similar to Lias’s high-and-mighty demeanor—both were unreasonable and would bite him at the slightest provocation.

Soon, Chu Yi walked away with his junior, gradually disappearing from everyone’s sight. It was unclear where they went.

Only a moment later did everyone finally react.

"A beauty has thrown herself into his arms! Could it be they’re off to get a room? Jealousy is tearing me apart!"

"He’s a Demon; I’m not the least bit jealous. Otherwise, why don’t you try slaying an Evil God creature? I guarantee a bunch of beauties will throw themselves at you!"

"This is infuriating! Don’t Demons like boys? I thought Demons had unconventional tastes too!"

"Awesome..."

"To openly and straightforwardly kill an Evil God creature... Such an achievement is too astonishing! Who knows how many factions will want to recruit him? I’m so envious."

"Bro, you’re behind the times. The Six-Tailed Flame Emperor was recruited by the Qin Family long ago—yes, the one overseen by a Dawn Star expert."

"According to my uncle in the military, Chu Yi is cohabiting with the Qin Family’s eldest young lady. They’ve already had a child out of wedlock—a cute little girl, apparently."

"Whoa, your news is really wild! If no one clarifies, I’m going to start spreading rumors."

"If you spread them, I’ll believe them."

Under the influence of the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor’s Mighty Power, the academy was as cheerful as if it were a festival. Even the teachers and instructors were discussing Chu Yi.

The academy had been attacked by an Evil God Beast Tamer, so a three-day break was announced. This was to allow everyone to calm their emotions and also to clean up the battlefield.

「Outside the academy.」

News that all the commotion was caused by the rumored Six-Tailed Flame Emperor slaying an Evil God Beast Tamer quickly spread, immediately drawing the attention of various factions.

Some were happy, while others were worried.

「A remote villa.」

"This wretched brat... does he possess inexhaustible Spiritual reserves? He just underwent a major battle yesterday!"

Shen Ling clenched his cane, his face grim as he stared at the battle report sent from the academy.

Xiao Peng’s eyes were bloodshot. His vast wind-type Spiritual Energy surged, shredding a nearby table and chair into pieces.

"Useless trash!"

The two men cursed the Bone Snake expert. He had bragged about being a top-ten master on the dark list, yet he was killed by a third-year student!

Of course, they had only managed to hire him because his true target was the King’s Cub.

Both parties were crafty schemers.

They had initially thought revenge was hopeless and decided to reconcile with Chu Yi. However, with the support of a certain influential figure, they had hatched a plan to attack him.

One had his granddaughter killed, and his grandson, chosen for the Starfire Sequence, was now also under threat.

The other’s son had been crippled. He was still in the emergency room, now reduced to a useless wreck.

If they had succeeded, everyone would naturally have been pleased.

If they failed, they could simply offer a generous gift to befriend Chu Yi. Who would ever know it was them?

But the result was an utter failure; they were instantly defeated. There was nothing more to say.

The assassin they had hired at great cost was killed in a single move.

This was more agonizing to them than being killed themselves.

BAM!

At that moment, a hurricane erupted. A gateway constructed from thousands of skulls swung open wide. From it wafted an ominous, evil, and putrid aura, causing the surrounding tables, chairs, curtains, and wall corners to sprout thick, dark hair. A continuous rustling sound filled the air.

The two men shuddered and immediately bowed.

"Greetings, My Lord..."

「The Qin Family headquarters.」

In the main hall, an elder with graying temples was seated in the primary position. He resembled an ancient general, hale and hearty, with bright, piercing eyes.

"Good lad!" Elder Qin squinted, a smile playing on his lips as he examined the battle report that had been delivered.

"Dad, have you recovered?" Qin Shi asked, delighted.

Seeing the old man’s complexion, it was as if he had drunk invigorating goji tea. The previous sickly pallor was gone, replaced by a vibrant energy.

The high-ranking members of the Qin Family had gathered. This was the first meeting Elder Qin had convened since his recovery.

Besides Qin Zheng’s direct descendants, there were also factions from his maternal lineage present. All were led by Qin Zheng, forming the vast Qin Family conglomerate. This entity was involved in military, political, and commercial sectors, firmly establishing them as Yaoguang City’s premier Noble Family.

News of Chu Yi’s victory in the mine battle had spread rapidly, largely due to the Qin Family’s efforts behind the scenes. They were building momentum for Chu Yi, aiming for him to gain more resources and attract attention from higher authorities.

The family elders examined Chu Yi’s battle report, all of them beaming as they offered their praises:

"To achieve a kill against pre-Morning Star Combat Power while only at the Silver level, and in front of tens of thousands at the academy... This attack turned out well. It has solidified Chu Yi’s reputation as a Demon."

"Just a few days ago, I heard that young Qiuyun had found a boyfriend. At the time, I thought the boy came from a humble background and was too young to bear significant responsibility, deeming him unworthy of our Qin Family’s direct heiress."

"Now it seems Qiuyun truly has a discerning eye, even sharper than us old folks. It’s rather shameful for us, actually."

"Hmm, I see this young man and Qiuyun as a golden couple, a true match made in heaven. They should marry sooner rather than later."

"The Qin Family is destined for great prosperity!"

The praise for Chu Yi naturally shifted to compliments for Jiang Qiuyun, which also brought honor to Qin Zheng.

The juniors of the Qin Family, who had been summoned, watched the live broadcast of the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor. They were left dumbfounded, exclaiming in awe.

After all, they had never seen anyone at the Silver level capable of unleashing destructive power comparable to a nuclear explosion.

And this formidable figure was their cousin Jiang Qiuyun’s boyfriend. Such a powerful alliance, this was...

The most crucial point was that he had only turned eighteen a few days ago, making him younger than most of them by several years.

Is this the world of Demons?!

"Proceed according to plan," Qin Zheng said with a faint smile. He saw a reflection of himself in Chu Yi’s achievements. Hadn’t he also been undefeated in his youth, fighting his way into the Imperial Capital and sweeping aside the younger generation at the academy?

Therefore, he resolved to pave the way for Chu Yi.

He would shield Chu Yi from all external prying and interference until he fully matured.

Suddenly, Qin Zheng paused. He recalled Chu Yi defeating the Crimson War Gods.

Chu Yi... His surname is Chu... Could he be related to that forbidden existence?
