53 Choosing A New Spirit Beast

“Are you hungry?”

Watching Shen Fei get into the car, Aloy took the initiative to procure a sandwich and handed it to Shen Fei.

“Many thanks.” Shen Fei took the sandwich and ate it slowly.

“This time, we’re going to a new beast breeding institute that had just opened. I heard that the lowest level spirit beasts there are at least Count rank and above. I’m sure I can find a suitable one.”

!!
“That’s good.” Shen Fei perfunctorily nodded his head and focused on the food in his hands.

Aloy smiled. “I’ll let you go after we’ve picked a suitable spirit beast. And I’ll transfer the 2,000,000 Yuan I promised you earlier to your account.”

“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded and stuffed the last bit of sandwich into his mouth. He then sat quietly on the other side of the car.

‘As expected, he’s still repulsed by me.’ Aloy felt a little regretful.

At this moment, she could only take advantage of the time while he was still poor to move him with money and cultivate feelings.

‘When Shen Fei becomes rich, it’ll be difficult for me to get close to him.’ She had already thought it through over the past few days.

So what if the two of them had an engagement? As long as Shen Fei’s strength continues to rise, would he not be able to go wherever he wanted to? In fact, he might even privately cancel the engagement in the future.

She could only think of ways to use his emotions to slow him down. Or they could advance together, and she could stay by his side as comrades. No matter which path she chose, it would be very difficult.

Aloy smiled as she looked at Shen Fei. In her heart, she had already planned the next stage.

‘Let’s start by choosing a suitable spirit beast and take it one step at a time.’

After all, she could only see a part of the future.

…

It did not take long for the two of them to arrive in front of the beast breeding institute.

“Miss, we have arrived!”

“Shen Fei, let’s go.” Aloy took the initiative to reach out toward Shen Fei’s side and pushed open the car door for him.

“Alright,” he said. Shen Fei nodded and grabbed Aloy’s hand, helping her out of the car.

Just as he reached the door, Shen Fei’s gaze was drawn to the huge building in front of him.

“Dulong Breeding Institute?”

“Yes, this is the newly opened beast breeding institute I told you about before.” Aloy turned around and smiled at Shen Fei, her white dress fluttering in the wind. “I heard that this building has always been for the private use of the Zhang family. It’s just that there’s been a problem with the Zhang family’s business this time. That’s why they also opened this place up for outsiders to choose their spirit beasts.”

“So it’s the Zhang family’s private beast breeding institute…”

It was no wonder Shen Fei had never heard of it before. However, the quality of private beast breeders was indeed much higher than public beast breeders. The Zhang family was one of the richest families in the city, and the amount of money they spent was much greater than that of the public breeders. It was only natural for the quality to be higher.

‘Are their family members really willing to give up their rare spirit beasts for others to use?’ Shen Fei touched the bridge of his nose, and Lilian’s Croix Silver Snake came to mind.

For example, those spirit beasts with the time attribute. Once their family had it, they probably would not take it out and would keep it for their own use. Those that could be sold to others were probably only relatively ordinary.

But whether a spirit beast was strong or not, in the end, it still depended on the master. For someone like him, even if he got an ordinary spirit beast like the Flame Owl, it could still become a Phoenix!

If it was someone else, it would not work at all.

“Come on, we’ll go inside together.” Aloy immediately reached out and grabbed Shen Fei’s arm, quickly dragging him into the institution.

…

The structure of this institution was very similar to that of the public ones. The first three levels were for the ordinary spirit beasts, and even the spirit beasts on the first level could be selected for free.

However, they were all defective. The second to third levels were filled with slightly better spirit beasts. There were also some that were considered to be high-grade spirit beasts.

However, there were very few people who would spend much time on this floor. For 200,000 to 3,000,000 Yuan, everything was possible.

Above the fourth floor, there were elite-grade spirit beasts, each one stronger than the last. However, the price was also much more ridiculous. One would need around 20 to 30 million to acquire a spirit beast from these levels.

It was so expensive that one would be lost for words. Moreover, the spirit beasts bred by the Zhang family mainly had the ice attribute.

Frost wolves, winter hedgehogs, snow-fur rabbits, and other ice attribute spirit beasts could be seen everywhere in this breeding institute.

However, this also caused the temperature here to be extremely low. Just by walking into the spirit beast menagerie, Shen Fei felt as though he was freezing to death.

He rubbed his red hands and could not help but frown. ‘Before they opened their institute to others, couldn’t they have considered installing an air-conditioner in the aisle for tourists?’

“This place is so cold. If I had known that there were so many ice-attribute spirit beasts here, I would have worn a padded jacket before coming.” Aloy’s face was red from the cold. She kept breathing into her palms and then put them on her face.

“That’s right.” Shen Fei sighed lightly. He then took off his coat and placed it on Aloy. “You can put on mine for now. At least you’ll feel warmer with more layers.”

Without his jacket, the cold air blew straight onto his body through the gaps between his clothes, making Shen Fei shiver. Looking at the coat on her body, Aloy was stunned.

“Then what about you? Don’t you feel cold?”

“Have you forgotten that I have a fire-attribute spirit beast?”

Shen Fei trembled as he extended his hand and snapped his fingers. In an instant, a fiery-red bird appeared on Shen Fei’s shoulder.

“Coo, coo.” The Flame Owl flapped its wings excitedly on Shen Fei’s shoulder. She tilted her head and looked around curiously.

The moment he summoned the Flame Owl, the temperature around Shen Fei immediately rose by several degrees. He quickly hugged the Flame Owl and stroked its feathers.

It squinted its eyes, yawned lazily, and shook its body in a comforting way. A warm current spread out from the Flame Owl’s body. This heat flow was like a hot spring, soaking Aloy and Shen Fei in it.

“It’s so comfortable.” Aloy, who had been shrinking her neck in the cold, suddenly relaxed her shoulders and revealed her neck.

“That’s enough.” Shen Fei flexed his muscles and moved his bones, then placed the Flame Owl back on his shoulder. “Hurry up and take this opportunity to choose the spirit beast you want. If you dawdle, all the spirit beasts you like will be picked by the others.”

“Alright!” Aloy nodded her head decisively and looked around. “…Aren’t you going to choose one as well?”

“What?” When she suddenly asked this question. Shen Fei immediately grew suspicious. “I’m only here to accompany you. My two spirit beasts are more than enough. I don’t need a third one for the time being.”

Moreover, Shen Fei could not afford another spirit beast. Rather than spending money to buy a new “money-burning machine”, it was better to just tend to his two spirit beasts and cultivate them well.
