Chapter 19: Secret Realm at the Northern Suburbs
“Ye Xuan, I’m hungry.”
That night, after Ye Xuan went to bed, Lil Wan lay down in her tiny house and eagerly stared at him.
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes. “Don’t you still have a lollipop with you?”
Lil Wan flew out from her house, landed beside Ye Xuan’s ear, and whispered into it. “This isn’t enough. I still have a whole night to get through. Gimme another three.”
“Alright alright,” Ye Xuan said helplessly. “But don’t exhaust yourself too much. We still have to enter the secret realm tomorrow. I’m counting on you when we get in there.”
He had to take out another three lollipops and hand them over to Lil Wan.
“Okie dokie. I’ll pay attention.” Lil Wan smiled gleefully.
She towed the three lollipops hurriedly with her Mind Energy and fluttered back to her tiny wooden shack.
Like a little hamster hoarding food.
“Alright. Good night to you.”
Ye Xuan waved his hand and went to sleep.
After Ye Xuan fell asleep, Lil Wan, on the other hand, stared at Ye Xuan’s charming side profile while blinking her eyes.
Then, she waved her tiny hand and spawned an Ironwood Vine, which she then wrapped around a lollipop, delivering the candy to her mouth.
However, it could clearly be seen that the front end of the Ironwood Vine that she’d spawned this time was faintly becoming black in color. It was also starting to become dart-like in shape.
This was also a training method.
Bear in mind that she wasn’t just an adorable foodie.
The lollipop that Ye Xuan had given her was made from more than a dozen evolution resources, and was based on a specific recipe.

However, this lollipop wasn’t something that she could eat whenever she wanted to.
To eat large amounts of these and quickly level up, she had to train a lot and deplete huge amounts of energy.
She was already exhausted to the extreme from having to digest these lollipops all day.
“It’s not because I’m craving food!”
“Three more, this will be the last three!”
Lil Wan stuck out her rosy little tongue, gently licked a lollipop, and closed her eyes, intoxicated.
…
The night went by in a flash.
Early the next morning, while Ye Xuan was having breakfast, Sun Yunmeng pulled at his ear and nagged, “Ye Xuan, when you and Lil Want enter the secret realm, you must be careful. Avoid fighting as much as you can. You’ve just awakened your Beast Taming aptitude, so how could you possibly defeat those ferocious beasts?”
“Mum, I know. Please stop pinching my ear. I’ll really be in danger if I can’t hear anything when I get into the secret realm.”
“Hmph, slippery tongue you have!”
Su Yunmeng loosened her hand, but she couldn’t help adding, “You too, Lil Wan. Be vigilant when you enter the secret realm. Don’t do just anything he tells you to. If you guys run into danger, drag him away and escape. Remember to never ever charge into danger foolishly.”
“Okie Dokie. Got it.”
Lil Wan nodded like a little chicken, as if she was taking Su Yunmeng’s words as the empress’s decree.
Only after Lil Wan voiced her agreement did Sun Yunmeng finally calm down.
Creak!
At that moment, a car stopped at the entrance of the tiny community where Ye Xuan and his family lived.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})“Mum, look at you. I have to go now. Brother Lejia is here to pick me up.”
Seeing that Nong Lejia had arrived to pick him up, Ye Xuan quickly put on his shoes and rushed out with Lil Wan.
Ye Guotao came over from behind and hugged Su Yunmeng.
“Alright alright, that’s enough. Our son is all grown up. He can spread his wings and fly on his own. We should be happy for him, so why are you crying?”
“Because of you!” Su Yunmeng complained. “If you were just slightly more capable, like a powerful Beast Tamer or something, you could’ve trained Ye Xuan while he was growing up, and then things wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“If I had been a powerful Beast Tamer, I wouldn’t have married you,” Ye Guotao answered subconsciously.
“Hm?”
…
“So, are you nervous?”
Nong Lejia drove Ye Xuan all the way to the outer limits of Yunhai City.
“A little bit.” Ye Xuan nodded. “But it’s not that big of a deal. Brother Lejia, you told me yesterday that in the beginning, after we go into the Amber Secret Realm, we’ll always be close to the entrance.
“There aren’t a lot of monsters near the Amber Secret Realm’s entrance. Besides, the monsters there are generally weaker. I’ll practice with the low-level monsters first, and then go deeper.”
“Nice. You’re not blinded by your aptitude,” Nong Lejia praised. “Although Miss Lin asked me to mention all that to you, it’s better that you figured it out for yourself.
“Another thing, you might not have seen it yet, but in your Combat Watch, there’s an information zone.”
Nong Lejia gestured with his head toward the combat watch. “In the information zone, there’s a map of the Amber Secret Realm. The low-risk and high-risk areas in the Amber Secret Realm are all marked on the map. You can take a look at it now.”
“There’s a map?” Ye Xuan was surprised.
“Of course,” Nong Lejia smiled. “But you just have to roughly look at the map, especially the danger zones marked on it.”
“After all, this map was drawn six years ago. The Amber Secret Realm might have changed a lot in those six years.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Ye Xuan nodded.
But no matter the case, having a map was always a good thing.
Thinking about this, he turned on the Combat Watch, found the map, and looked at it.
…
A restricted area in the northern suburbs of Yunhai City.
Several big cars drove through the massive iron gates outside the restricted area. Once the cars came to a stop, dozens of people climbed out.
These people were Cao Qing and the other students from the Beast Taming Class.
And the teachers who were leading them.
Not long afterward, a funky off-road vehicle also drove through the gates.
Creak!
When the off-road vehicle halted, Ye Xuan and Nong Lejia got out of their vehicle as well.
Seeing Ye Xuan getting out of the car, Cao Qing and most of the others turned to look at him.
Ye Xuan felt speechless when he saw this.
However, he also felt his fighting spirit slightly surge within himself.
His was still too weak.
If he were strong enough to crush Cao Qing and the others, then they probably wouldn’t be looking at him like this.
After getting out of the car, Nong Lejia immediately led Ye Xuan over to Wu Fuyun, the teacher in charge of the Beast Taming Class. “Mr. Wu, how’s the situation? Can they enter the Amber Secret Realm yet?”
Wu Fuyun nodded and said, “The spatial fluctuations over here have stabilized. They can enter now.”
“Since that’s the case, without further ado, let’s arrange for the students to go in.”
Nong Lejia raised his bald head high.
Although he was just an assistant, because he was from Jiangzhou University, his Beast Taming abilities were just as good as Wu Fuyun’s, and in terms of strength, he was more powerful.
He was always a powerful speaker in the Beast Taming Class.
“Alright, we’ll go with your plan,” Wu Fuyun said with a smile.
At that moment, Ye Xuan swept his eyes over his surroundings and discovered that there was a colorful cloud in the middle of the area.
It was surrounded by Darklight Iron mesh, and it covered a radius of over ten meters. It looked out of place, and had a somewhat otherwordly aura.
“Is that the secret realm?” Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, an assistant teacher of the Beast Taming Class ordered the students to line up and walk towards the colorful cloud. “Stand up, everyone. After you receive your Protection Amulet, line up and enter the secret realm.”
As the assistant teacher instructed the students, he gave each of them a Jade Amulet that emitted colorful light.
When Ye Xuan saw these Jade Amulets, he looked at Nong Lejia in confusion. “Protection Amulet?”
“These amulets were created using an Amber Heart obtained after killing the monsters in the Amber Secret Realm. If you encounter a life-threatening situation in the secret realm, the Jade Amulet will activate.
“And after the Jade Amulet is activated, you will be instantly teleported out of the secret Realm.”
Nong Lejia chuckled beside Ye Xuan.
“F*ck!”
Ye Xuan almost let the f word slip out of his mouth.
Earlier, he’d been worried that he would run into danger in the Amber Secret Realm.
So much so that he hadn’t even dared to mention too much about it to his parents.
But it turned out to be like this!
Are baldheads all so childish?
He glanced at Nong Lejia’s shiny head, thinking that this guy would be a great monk if he decided to become one.
