Chen Yuan returned to the farm at exactly one o’clock in the morning.

When he saw the Snow Cloud Wolves sprawled chaotically on the ground, his heart sank.

As expected, it’s this group of guys.

The remnants of battle and the dark bloodstains on the ground all pointed to the fierceness of the previous fight.

"Tweet~"

Spark soared high in the air, its ghostly blue eyes overlooking the farm shrouded in night, its bright flames catching the attention of Wu Peng and Zeng Hui.

As soon as they looked up, they saw the familiar figure entering their view, and immediately went up to greet: "Advisor Chen!"

Chen Yuan was taken aback: "What are you guys doing here?"

Wu Peng recounted the events earlier to Chen Yuan and shared his guess: "Advisor Chen, it should be your Steel-headed Ground Rat that defeated this group of Snow Cloud Wolves."

"As expected from a Pet Beast you’ve nurtured with such care."

Chen Yuan’s expression instantly turned strange.

The strength of Iron Head is quite decent, but defeating this group of Snow Cloud Wolves with just Tier One strength is a wild fantasy.

The rest of the little ones must have all contributed.

But on second thought, it didn’t matter which little one did, as long as they could defeat this group of Snow Cloud Wolves.

So he explained, "It shouldn’t be the Steel-headed Ground Rat..."

Before he could finish, Wu Peng had already shown an understanding expression, nodding repeatedly: "Advisor Chen, you don’t need to say more, I understand."

This Steel-headed Ground Rat is clearly a Pet Beast carefully nurtured by Advisor Chen, just waiting to be contracted after becoming a High-tier Overlord Beastmaster.

Before that, Advisor Chen surely wants to use the Steel-headed Ground Rat as a trump card, not disclosing information to the outside world.

By the time he becomes a High-tier Beastmaster, Advisor Chen can contract it and defeat unknown Beastmasters with this Steel-headed Ground Rat.

He will keep this secret for Advisor Chen.

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

What, I haven’t even finished, and you already understand?

Understand what?

Although he felt puzzled by Wu Peng’s response, Chen Yuan thought of how the two came specifically to help guard the farm and thus extended an invitation: "Come inside and sit for a while."

"It’s so late already, we won’t disturb you."

Since Advisor Chen had already returned, he would certainly handle the aftermath of the Snow Cloud Wolf attack on the farm, so it was inconvenient for them to stay any longer.

They had repaid the favor and, in doing so, strengthened their relationship with Advisor Chen, which was enough.

When dealing with others, it’s crucial not to overdo it; the real wisdom lies in taking things slow and steady.

The two exchanged a glance and left without hesitation.

It wasn’t until they left the farm behind them that Zeng Hui let out a long sigh and remarked, "What a spectacular day."

Wu Peng gazed into the dense night, nodding heavily: "Indeed."

They had entered the mountains early in the morning, only to be caught by a group of Black-striped Spiders in a cave, thinking they’d be trapped inside. Unexpectedly, a hero descended from the sky and rescued them.

As darkness fell and they descended the mountain, they encountered the Snow Cloud Wolves attacking the farm. Rushing over to help, they found that the Snow Cloud Wolves had already been defeated, and had to stand guard in the cold wind for several hours.

It seemed like a busy day, but in reality, they hadn’t done much at all.

However, their step count on their phones was way ahead, receiving likes from several friends.

"Fortunately... our relationship with Advisor Chen has gone a step further," Wu Peng whispered.

Chen Yuan walked through the gate, Iron Head, blending into the night, revealed itself, and he immediately noticed the several scars on its body; even the blade-like claws had faint marks on them.

Chen Yuan turned his head to Twin Flower Concubine, who quickly tore off a petal and handed it over.

"You’ve worked hard." Chen Yuan handed the petal to Iron Head.

"Clack."

Iron Head’s expression was calm, its face bearing the words "reliable," as it took the petal and gently chewed on it.

As long as it’s standing there, no hostile Pet Beast will get into the farm.

Chen Yuan continued forward, entering the courtyard illuminated by dim yellow lights, where the little ones were huddled together, fast asleep.

Chen Yuan approached quietly and spotted Run Run Duck’s ruffled feathers and the scars on Electric Flying Cat’s face, falling silent for a moment.

Everyone contributed.

Chen Yuan didn’t disturb the sleeping little ones, choosing instead to enter the main hall and lightly knock on Chen Weiyi’s bedroom door.

After a while,

Chen Weiyi emerged from the room.

Seeing the old man unscathed, Chen Yuan’s worried heart finally settled: "I’m glad you’re okay."

The old man recounted the earlier events, then expressed concern: "Those Snow Cloud Wolves are already dead, will it affect you?"

After all, his grandson is an Association Consultant, and Chen Weiyi worried that tonight’s events would affect him.

Chen Yuan grinned: "Don’t worry, Grandpa, they brought it upon themselves."

The Beastmaster Association has clear regulations on physically eliminating Pet Beasts that unprovoked attack humans or invade people’s homes.

The old man’s life was in severe danger, leaving no room to consider these Snow Cloud Wolves.

Although Chen Yuan had twice clashed with the Snow Cloud Wolf leader, the leader’s aim was clear: to seize the Spirit Plant, so he just sent the Snow Cloud Wolf leader to a breeding base for modification.

But this group of Snow Cloud Wolves was too vicious to be sent to the breeding base.

Better find a place to bury them.

"Grandpa, you should get some rest early."

It was already late at night, so Chen Yuan urged the old man to continue resting. He and Spark, with Fallen Meteor Horned Beast’s help, transported the Snow Cloud Wolves to a distant forest, dug a pit, and buried them deeply.

As for why Cola didn’t help, it had long since snuggled up next to Run Run Duck, snoring away.

After busying himself for a while, the night grew even deeper. Chen Yuan stifled a yawn behind his hand and went back to his bedroom to sleep.

The next day.

The morning mist had not yet dispersed, and the sky was already tinged with honey-colored light.
