The Other Side of A Cultivation Story

31 Domesticated Demonic Beasts

The time for Su Yu and Xiao Ning to arrive had come. Qai especially waited for the two of them since he virtually bargained for them--one can say that he was, in a sense, their master.

As soon as the two arrived, they were shown to their respective rooms and their own respective little worlds--the 'Armory' and the 'Herb Garden.'

The two inspected the tools and the place given them and started to tend to their designated duties--Su Yu was obviously tasked to craft and to develop weapons and armors for the family while Xiao Ning was assigned to plant and harvest herbs necessary for cultivating and medicinal pills.

Evidently with the their arrival, the time to further Qai's plans arrived as well. But for then, Qai was content on focusing to help everyone increase their strength in cultivation before making another step in his plans.

"Everyone, listen up.." Shu Wei exclaimed. "Little Qai has something to say.."

All of them looked at Qai with a confused face. For a year, he laid low on implementing any crazy idea and simply focused on his duties and cultivation. So they didn't have any clue what he had to say.

Qai grinned and rubbed his nose.

"I would like to tell everyone..," Qai explained, "..that we have 4 new members in the family.."

Everyone curled their brows seeming more confused.

Qai then waived his hand and called forth the four..

And when everybody saw them, all their eyes turned bright in delight--the four were emiting earth stage expert realm auras.

"These are our new family members--our 'domesticated demonic beasts'..," Qai chuckled as he said those words.

The wild horses have evolved into 'War Horses' that ferociously stood and the wild wolves into 'Dire Wolves'..

"We can mount the War horses for faster travel while the Dire wolves will join us in our hunt..," he added.

Everyone leapt on their feet and hurried to approach the beasts--obviously to either attempt to mount them or fondle them.
