*Ding!

[1,000,000 coins were deducted]

[Insufficient funds]

[388,510 coins have been added to the debt]

[Evolution triggered]

The notification screen disappeared, and the image of the buffalo calf in the pet inventory started blinking.

As it blinked… A new holographic screen materialized before his eyes.

*Ding!

[Evolution successful]

[Nebula has evolved from Hydro Buffalo Demon to a Hydro Buffalo Demon Lord]

[Triggering second evolution]

[Evolution successful]

[Nebula has evolved from Hydro Buffalo Demon Lord to Buffalo Demon King]

[Triggering third evolution]

[Choose the Evolution Path]

[Aurochs Species, the Prehistoric Wild Ox] [Muniu Tou, a variant of Ox-headed demon from the Zhonggou legends] [The Minotaur, a monster from the legends of Zuania Continent.]

[Note 1: Aurochs’ max grade is Legendary, but the copies can be bought from the Summoner’s shop, and as a prehistoric beast, it can be fused with other monster companions.]

[Note 2: Muniu Tou cannot be stored in the pet inventory.]

[Note 3: Minotaur’s personality is brutal and violent, and regardless of a tight bond, it has a high chance of ignoring its master’s orders, unless the Lord of the Summons skill is used.]

“Hmm… each has its own benefits and disadvantages. Aurochs is a safe choice, but I paid 1,000,000 coins for this opportunity. I cannot waste it on it. Muniu Tou’s problem is that it is obviously a demon, and if I kept it with me, everyone would know it. Too much attention, and I might even gain additional enemies. It’s the same as becoming a Necromancer. Whether I act well or not, people will trouble me. Finally, Minotaur’s personality seems to be an issue. I already experienced this insubordination with Tempest…” Taking a glance at the Pterosaur, which was still having its meal, Lin Fang shook his head. “No. It could not only offend others but also injure my own friends.”

Taking a breath, Lin Fang raised his finger toward the screen. “Alright. So be it.”

*Ding!

[You picked Muniu Tou]

Without any further notification, it blinked and blinked for a while. Lin Fang silently spectated with his gaze never leaving the inventory. His heartbeat only rose and rose further as seconds passed by.

30 seconds have gone by, and finally, the blinking stopped, and a blinding flash of light struck his face, forcing him to stumble back and shut his eyes in reflex.

When reopened…

*Ding!

[Evolution success]

[Nebula has evolved from Buffalo Demon King to Demon Muniu Tou]

[Congratulations on attaining a mythic grade summon. 100,000 coins were added to the character.]

As soon as the new holographic screen appeared with Nebula’s details, his pet inventory glowed once again before a ray of light escaped it and fell to the ground, before a busty, naked 7-foot-5-inch woman materialized before him, who looked absolutely human at one glance, except for horns that protruded from her forehead and her scarlet eyes.

Tempest paused for a moment and looked at the cow-demon. However, it continued to eat without a care.

Meanwhile, Lin Fang almost had his mouth hang open in shock, seeing the appearance of a naked lady. “What the… why?”

Nebula blinked her eyes twice before a smile crept to her face, and she immediately lunged at him. “Master…”

*Ummpfff*

His entire body heated up in lust while his breathing became erratic, with his head wrapped between her arms and her bosom.

Forcing himself to free himself from her, Lin Fang looked at his demon subordinate and asked, “Where did you learn this thing. And how could you speak Orlon? You were just born.”

The Cow demon blinked innocently as it answered. “I can see Master’s memories.”

“Eh? My memories?” He took a step back involuntarily in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Everything?”

The Cow demon answered. “I don’t know. I see a lot of things.” After a pause, she asked. “I have a question, though. Why is Master using his mouth in mating with his female companion? Master also seemed to be interested in these milk-giving udders, though. Why? When there is no milk? And…”

“Alright… alright… stop it.” Lin Fang hurriedly stopped her as she went on speaking about this adult stuff. It appeared like all this demon could see was his sexual acts rather than other memories.

One day later, far away in a shadowed valley, the ruler of this realm, Blood Flame Fox lay defeated and its body smoking faintly, while unconscious hunters were scattered around the site.

At the center of the carnage, Li Chengfeng knelt over the dying monster, bloodied and exhausted. Even though he seemed on the edge of collapse, his armor battered, his final strike had ended the threat. Fan Yujin and the others looked on in stunned silence.

Li Chengfeng drew ragged breaths, his voice strained. “Take everyone to safety… now.”

Yujing, who arrived not long ago, walked toward him with concern etched on his face. “Sir… how did this happen?”

Li Chengfeng’s voice was low and full of venom as he cursed. “That damn monster… it evolved mid-battle. Turned into an Overlord Tier! It’s lucky that we all managed to survive.”

As if he remembered something, he asked, “You found Lin Fang yet?”

Yujing hesitated, swallowing nervously, but shook his head. “No.”

Li Chengfeng’s aura erupted violently, energy radiating in waves as he roared, “You know that this is the last day.” His anger was palpable, shaking the valley around them. “Mobilize everyone to search for him. If he is dead, I want to see his dead body. If he is outside, I want to know. No matter what, by the end of the day, I want a result.”

“Eh? Is it because of Li Xue?” As Yujing was taken aback by the sudden change in Li Chengfeng, who seemed like he could kill him, the latter walked to him. Each of his heavy steps made Fan Yujing’s heartbeat skip in fear again and again. He was completely paralyzed on the spot in nervousness. Reaching him, Li Chengfeng put a hand on his shoulder and sternly spoke, “Listen carefully. If he doesn’t come alive or is captured by any dark guild, you, I, and our entire guild will be buried underneath. Understood?”

Yujing gulped his saliva and nodded like a chicken. He hurriedly left the space, muttering. “It seemed like this guy had a powerful background or something. No wonder Li Xue was in a relationship with him.”

Several hours later, Lin Fang stepped out of a shimmering portal with a strange beast walking beside him. It has the body of a large Cow and wings of a Pterosaur.

With the soul fusion only working for five minutes, he immediately mounted on its top, but just as he started to lift off, a familiar voice called his name. He turned to see Li Ying and Bu Mokong standing there. The others were still absent.

Lin Fang glanced at them briefly, then instructed the monster to take off.

“Lin Fang, wait!” Li Ying called, rushing toward him. He froze mid-step and turned. “What is it?”

Li Ying approached cautiously, her voice soft. “I… I’m sorry.”

Lin Fang’s expression, however, turned cold as he replied. “It doesn’t matter. We don’t owe each other anything.”

Li Ying looked down, dejected, and whispered another apology. “Sorry… we shouldn’t have abandoned you.”

Bu Mokong stepped forward, patting her shoulder with a grunt. “We didn’t abandon him. He volunteered to stay behind.”

Lin Fang’s face darkened further, shadowing over his expression. The bitterness in his chest deepened, and his eyes glinted with anger. He had the urge to fight with him and kill the giant mantis standing beside, but remembering he didn’t have much time, he ordered. “Go.”

The beast let out a distorted moo and screech before flapping its wings and flying away in the sky.

Watching it in the sky, Mokong commented with a frown. “It looked like this fellow managed to encounter a fortuitous encounter in the wild. I guess that wolf pup of his didn’t make it.”

Li Ying, however, just stared at the fleeting figure in the sky and muttered. “He feels different. The air of naivety and innocence disappeared from his eyes. I wonder how much struggle he went through, during this past week.”
