The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 617: Chapter 611: Overlord Instinct

“I’m all for honesty, but I don’t have that much money,”

With a shake of her head and a chuckle, Margaret Yule said, “I’m not in a hurry for money lately anyway. You can complete your final payment whenever you can. Besides, you’re quite the celebrity now; the offers for endorsement deals inside Rosewood City are almost spilling out of the office.”

After saying this, she pulled out three documents from a drawer and handed them to David Jones.

“Just pick a few endorsement deals and shoot one or two commercials; you’ll make a killing. No need to offer up the Six-tailed Ice Fox to cover your debts.”

Upon hearing this, the Six-tailed Ice Fox glanced at Margaret Yule and then at David Jones, its luminescent blue pupils filled with skepticism.

What’s going on?

Have I become trash now? Why does nobody want me!

Don’t I have any dignity?

It seems it’s time to let these ignorant humans know the terror of the Ice Fox clan!

Feeling provoked, the Six-tailed Ice Fox opened its mouth, and in an instant, a glimmering, cold blue ice shard formed, drawing a surprised glance from Margaret Yule.

“Scared now, human?”

Seeing this, the Six-tailed Ice Fox held its head high and chest out, sucking in its increasingly big belly, as a piercingly cold wind began to swirl around the ice shard.

“Quiet down.”

David Jones casually pinched and effortlessly interrupted the Ice Fox’s spell, taking the reports from Margaret Yule’s hand with his right hand.

“These companies really are smart, each one looking to pick up a bargain.”

After looking through the files, David Jones shook his head somewhat speechlessly.

Among these companies seeking endorsements, only Frost Club, Origin Dairy Industry, and Blue Wave Auction offered reasonably fair prices, but they still fell short of David Jones’s expectations.

“We can continue negotiating with these three companies, but the endorsement fees are still a bit low. It’d be better to sign the contracts officially after the national competition ends,” David Jones said.

Margaret Yule completely agreed, “I think so too. After the national competition, your value is bound to skyrocket. Signing endorsements now would definitely be a losing business.”

“By the way, why is this Ice Fox’s strength so weak?” she asked, crouching down to look at the coughing Six-tails.

David Jones explained, “I had Grau seal its power. It can only exert the strength of a lower-level Class I at most right now.”

Upon hearing this, Margaret Yule’s eyes lit up, and she started to pet the Six-tailed Ice Fox, even forcibly flipping it over.

“Oh, it’s a female fox.”

Seeing the genuine affection in Margaret Yule’s eyes, David Jones felt amused.

Isn’t this the very definition of ‘the lady doth protest too much’? She says she doesn’t want it, yet her hands can’t stop from almost rolling the Ice Fox’s fur into balls.

“I’ve got some other things to take care of, so I’ll leave Six-tails in your care,” David Jones said as he turned to leave the room.

“Wait, what are your plans for Rossetti? It’s such a waste to use her immense strength just to clear an elixir field,” Margaret Yule called out in haste.

Truth be told, she had never seen anyone twist Arcane Steel into pretzels with their bare hands or casually punch to death a Class IV Elite Beast before.

Such a formidable body might even be comparable to a Level V Commander Beast, and sometimes she wondered where David Jones found such an exceptionally talented girl!

“Rossetti only has a basic understanding of Beast Training. When you have time, you can take her to audit classes at the Beastmaster Department,” David Jones suggested with a wave of his hand, exiting the office without looking back, leaving Margaret Yule and the Six-tailed Ice Fox staring at each other.

“Ao!” (What are you looking at, I’ll scratch you if you keep staring!)

The Six-tailed Ice Fox looked at Margaret Yule with disdain.

Just because it couldn’t cure David Jones doesn’t mean it couldn’t cure a little girl.

Thinking of becoming my Trainer? Not a chance in the world!

Letting me be someone’s Trainer is more like it!

“Bluny, teach our new friend a lesson,” Margaret Yule said, looking at the uncooperative Six-tailed Ice Fox as the light from her Star Ring glittered between her fingers.

Her gentle side was reserved for David Jones alone, which didn’t mean she was a naive and innocent lady; otherwise, Margaret couldn’t have managed the talent-rich Purple Haze Club effectively.

Since the Ice Fox was uncooperative, it was time to let Bluny teach it the internal rules of the “Dad’s Mount Emei” team.

…

After leaving the club, David Jones returned to his villa dormitory and then summoned Lolo to open the Mesona Space.

Standing proudly beside dozens of acres of medicinal fields was the Azure Bamboo, thirty meters tall, with sword-shaped leaves, constantly absorbing and releasing both Arcane Force and the essence of elixirs, occasionally nurturing clumps of Azure Bamboo Acane Energy that could enhance the quality of the elixirs.

The face of the Wood Spirit seemed to flicker in and out of the Azure Bamboo’s body, its perpetual downcast eyes reflecting its gloomy mood.

Seeing this, David Jones couldn’t help but smile without being too concerned.

As long as the Wood Spirit was working diligently without causing trouble, he had always been tolerant of productive employees.

“Work hard for me for five years, and in the future, you might have the chance to reside within a Level VI spirit wood, or even one that far surpasses the Sky-net Treasure Wood, a Level VII spirit wood,” David said as he took a few steps forward, starting to make big promises.

“Huh?” (Really?)

The spiritless Wood Spirit suddenly opened its eyes wide.

Though the Azure Bamboo was considered a Level V Wood-based Pet Resource, often referred to as a bamboo plant, it was, strictly speaking, a herbaceous plant and almost beyond the realm of the Wood Spirit’s residence, to say nothing of comparing it to the Sky-net Treasure Wood it previously resided in.

“I never lie,” said David Jones as he casually took out a bottle of Evergreen Stalactites (a Level IV resource) and fed the excited Immortal Dragon and Flower Spirit.

Taming the Wood Spirit still required some effort on David’s part, but taming the Flower Spirit didn’t require him to strain his brain at all.

You see, the Flower Spirit had invested all its efforts in cultivating medicinal flowers in the fields during this period, even willing to expend its own Acane Energy to actively enhance the quality of the flowers, effectively paying to work.

In the face of such a hard-working employee, David Jones had no choice but to provide room and board to make up for its expenditure of energy, lest the Flower Spirit become overly excited and accidentally exhaust itself amidst the flowers.

“Moo!” (Today I cultivated another Level V mesona!)

The Flower Spirit proudly boasted, tilting its small face with excitement.

The Immortal Dragon, seizing the opportunity to advance from the Fresh stage to Class I, was also beaming with joy.

“Fine, a deal is a deal, if you can come up with a new variety of seeds, that Class V mesona is yours!”

After ruffling the Flower Spirit’s head, David Jones turned to look at Goldy and the Gluttonous Beast, who were tinkering with a dragon palace plaque.

Clearly, their dragon bloodlines hadn’t reached the level of the Emperor, so they were wholly incapable of getting any response from the plaque.

“Gluttonous Beast, come over and record the unboxing process,” David Jones commanded.

Upon his word, the Gluttonous Beast scrambled over, abandoning Goldy to sidle up next to Lolo, causing Goldy to quickly use Earth Escape to keep up, both pairs of intelligent eyes staring dumbly at the Refined Universe Crystal in David’s palm.

Not paying any mind to Goldy’s covetous look, David Jones handed the Refined Universe Crystal to Lolo.

“Chirp?” (〃’▽’〃) (Can I eat it?)

Lolo licked its finger and, for once in front of David, showed a longing expression.

At that moment, the instincts from its bloodline were frantically reminding it that if it could completely digest the crystal in front of it, it might be able to enter an unprecedented level.

Of course, it was also possible that it could die.
