BEAST TAMING: I CAN EVOLVE INFINITELY
Chapter 735 - Chapter 735: Chapter 730: Six Countries Stand Side by SideChapter 735: Chapter 730: Six Countries Stand Side by Side
Huangsong City.
Soldiers, vigilantly examining their surroundings, checked the pass permits held by the passing public.
“Where are you from and where are you headed?”
A soldier stopped Bai Qi. After thoroughly checking Bai Qi’s permit and confirming its authenticity, he still cautiously asked once more.
New faces always attracted more attention.
“I am from the East… Ahem. I am from the East Wasteland and I am planning to settle in Huangsong City,”
Bai Qi tried to give an innocent smile as he spoke.
“East Wasteland? Why did you leave there to settle here?”
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the soldier’s attitude considerably softened. After seeing Bai Qi’s pained expression as he grappled with words, the soldier couldn’t help but sigh.
“Alright, since you’re here, live well.”
“Thank you.”
Bai Qi put away his permit, thanked the soldier, and then entered the city following the crowd.
On his way to Huangsong City, Bai Qi had Beta hypnotize several civilians to gather a rough understanding of the current situation.
It was not a unified stage in human history, rather, they were in a state under the alliance of Six Countries.
East Wasteland, South Vine, North Dyke, West Silicate, Heavenly Foot, Flame Emperor Country.
The alliance of these six countries gathered the most powerful human forces, successfully resisting the tribal incursions and became the last bastions of humanity.
The regimes of the Six Countries were independent, but they formed a human alliance. They would assist each other in times of danger and accept refugees produced by cities breached by beast waves.
Overall, it was fairly harmonious.
At least, on the surface.
“Six Countries… So, I’ve traversed to the early period of the Martial Emperor era?”
Bai Qi ambled on the relatively clean streets, gazing at the surrounding refugees who seemed relieved of a burden, silently sighing.
In the Martial Emperor era, humanity underwent a tremendous metamorphosis. A large number of legendary beasts joined, completely changing humanity’s dire state and granting them the chance to expand their territories.
However, before that, during the Six Countries period, human life was not as comfortable.
If he remembered correctly, after the Dragon Emperor’s death, humanity had entered a dark period.
The Dynasty split, regional powers emerged. Were it not for humanity’s deeply ingrained resilience, they might have been on the brink of extinction.
And these six countries formed gradually, merging from countless principalities, allowing humanity to barely regain their survival qualification in the world.
“If my memory is correct, among these six countries, only East Wasteland and Flame Emperor Country have a good relationship… the other countries… ha ha…”
A cold smile crossed Bai Qi’s face. Humanity was struggling to survive amid tribal attacks, and yet these leaders still had the time for personal schemes. No wonder they were eventually suppressed by the Martial Emperor.
With a touch of scorn and indignation, Bai Qi maneuvered around the streets. When he eventually stopped, he had already changed into local resident clothes.
Although the identity of a refugee was useful for entering the city, it was rather conspicuous if he wanted to navigate through the city.
“As per the old rule, first, to a bar to gather information.”
Bai Qi tightened the hat on his head, stepped aside to avoid a passing carriage, then confidently walked into a bar.
Compared to the one he had visited in Wuxian City, this bar was evidently older and more rundown. The oak door creaked, and with Bai Qi’s light push, it nearly fell off.
Upon entering, he was met with a deafening din.
Sweat, blood, smoke…
Sturdy men, beautiful women, alcohol…
The pungent odor continuously wafted into Bai Qi’s nostrils, threatening to make him faint.
“Maybe I should find another place…”
Tasting the peculiar odor in the air, Bai Qi instantly regretted his decision and turned to leave.
Bang!
“Sorry, are you alright?”
Bai Qi turned too quickly, completely unaware of the presence of another person behind him, and collided with the man.
“I’m fine, but, young man, your physique is quite good.”
The man who Bai Qi had bumped into did not take his lack of manners to heart. Looking at Bai Qi, he said, “Are you here to drink? You appear to be here for the first time.”
“Indeed, though it seems there are no seats left.”
Bai Qi glanced at the crowded interior, shrugged, and prepared to leave.
“Since we’ve met, it must be fate. How about I treat you to a drink?”
The man patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, and without waiting for Bai Qi to refuse, he pulled Bai Qi into the bar. His grip was so powerful that Bai Qi couldn’t escape.
This guy’s physique is terrifying. I am a legend now!
Unless…
Bai Qi took an intense look at the man beside him, gave up struggling, and let him lead him to the second floor.
Compared to the disorderly first floor, the second floor was significantly quieter, and the customers here had a distinctly different temperament to those downstairs.
As soon as Bai Qi stepped onto the second floor, he noticed something unique about these people.
These people—they were all Beast Masters.
“Lao Bai, you’re late again. Today’s drinks are on you!”
Seeing Bai Qi and the man appear, a sophisticated middle-aged man suddenly stood up and declared in a loud voice
“No problem, if I’m treating, then I’m treating!”
The man with the surname Bai agreed in a nonchalant manner, momentarily stirring the crowd.
“What a generous guy, Lao Bai!”
“Lao Bai, did you finish that task you took previously? You’re so generous!”
“Wait a minute, I remember the lady boss saying you haven’t even paid off your last bar tab. How come you have money now?”
“Who cares what he does, drink up!”
Everyone raised their glass towards Lao Bai, and after their toast, they went back to their drinks while Lao Bai pulled Bai Qi towards the man he had greeted first.
“Well, Zhao Ye, you started drinking without waiting for me. And to think I waited for you guys for half a day.”
Lao Bai snatched the wine glass from Zhao Ye’s hand and downed it in one gulp. He was about to pour another glass when a slender female hand stopped him.
“Bai Wuji, before you clear your bar tab, Crying Bar refuses to provide you food and drinks.”
The languid voice from the owner of the finger attracted all the nearby patrons. Seeing Bai Wuji’s helpless expression, they all whistled with delight.
“Lan Beauty, don’t be so stingy. Just one drink, one!”
Bai Wuji dodged the lady boss’ hand, continued to pour the drink, but was stopped once again.
“Money? Of course, I have!”
Bai Wuji boldly took out a pouch of money from his waist and threw it at the lady boss, only to be stopped once again.
“This still isn’t enough to cover your previous bar tab.”
Lan Xiaoyu looked at the pitiful Bai Wuji, completely unmoved.
“Forget it, big sister, this drink is on me.”
Seeing this, Zhao Ye couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “But Lao Bai, you should clear your bar tab first. I’m afraid the big sister will really stop letting you drink.”
“I’ll work on it.”
At last, Bai Wuji nodded repeatedly. After finally pouring a glass, he chugged it down and released a satisfied burp.
“The drinks have to be made by Lan Beauty. The drinks at other places just don’t pack enough punch.”
After putting down the glass, Bai Wuji started sharing his thoughts. The man sitting next to Zhao Ye glanced at Bai Wuji and said, “This kind of drinking is a waste.”
“Of course, you have to be bold when you’re drinking. Drinking in small sips gives you no feeling.”
Bai Wuji shrugged nonchalantly, then turned to Bai Qi and said, “Let me introduce to you my new friend, his name is… What’s your name again?”
Hearing Bai Wuji’s question, Bai Qi sighed and stepped forward, “Hello, my name is Bai Qi. As for friends… We’ve only known each other for less than a minute, probably wouldn’t count.”
“Haha… this is totally something Lao Bai would do!”
Seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Zhao Ye couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The surrounding patrons all smiled knowingly, leaving Bai Qi a bit confused.
“Don’t worry about it. Almost every new guy on this floor was dragged in here by Bai Wuji. You’ll get used to it.”
Xiao Huang raised his glass as a greeting to Bai Qi. Then Lan Xiaoyu walked over to Bai Qi with a glass of grape wine.
“In Crying Bar, the first drink for new customers is on the house.”
Lan Xiaoyu handed Bai Qi the grape wine and then turned around and busied herself behind the bar.
“Uh… Thanks.”
Bai Qi accepted the drink and was then dragged by Bai Wuji to sit down.
The people in this era… they’re really too passionate. Bai Qi, a technical geek, felt overwhelmed.
Once they sat down, Bai Wuji turned to Bai Qi with a smile and asked, “Bai Qi, is this your first time in Huangsong City?”
“Yes, I just came from East Wasteland and I’m not familiar with this place.”
Bai Qi repeated the excuse he had given to the gate guard, trying to explain.
“East Wasteland… it’s indeed not very peaceful there.”
Bai Wuji nodded slightly, a flash of familiarity and unfamiliarity crossing his gaze.
“East Wasteland borders the most tribes. If none of the other countries help, the Six Countries might become just Five.”
Seeing Bai Wuji like this, Bai Qi felt a sudden shock. As if he remembered something.
This feeling… it’s like his old teacher.
Bai Wuji, Bai Heguang…
Both having the surname Bai…
Bai Qi, who had already been feeling a bit strange, seemed to have thought of something. His gaze swept over the people in front of him, and an absurd idea popped into his mind.
Bai Wuji, Zhao Ye, Xiao Huang, Lan Xiaoyu.
Weren’t the founders of the Beast Master Association also bearing these names?
A bar… the Beast Master Association?
Huangsong City… Songlin City?
He randomly chose a bar, met a group of people, and you’re telling me these people are probably the founders of the Beast Master Association?
Last time he encountered the Law Emperor during time travel, and now, the founders of the Association.
Are you sure you’re not playing around with me, Lord?
