Cultivation Pet Shop

Inside of a tent on a planet in the middle of nowhere.

There were two parties that were sitting on opposite sides of the table.

Neither one of these parties were normal and normally, it would be very hard for them to gather like this.

However, they had no choice but to gather after what had happened.

But neither side said a thing, almost as if they were waiting for someone.

It didn't take long before the tent flap was opened and there were a few figures that walked in.

These figures weren't cloaked at all and they revealed their appearances without any fear.

These were wild looking humans with scraps of clothes that were made of beast fur. These clothes only covered the most essential parts of their body and revealed everything else.

However, these people didn't care at all about this.

The other half of the group was made up of people that were dressed in fine clothes, making them look like aristocrats. They were in a very direct clash with the wild group of people that they came in.

After coming into the tent, they sat down at opposite ends and looked at the people who had already been sitting there.

After a long period of silence, the leader of the wild dressed people asked, "How did you mess this up?"

The leader of the fine dressed people nodded and said, "We already gave you all that support and you still weren't able to do anything with it. Don't you think that it's embarrassing." Then after a pause, they added, "Not to mention…you somehow exposed yourself and now you're being surrounded by all these Stellar Kingdoms. It seems like we made the wrong call working with you all."

The leaders of the two groups really couldn't say anything because there was nothing that they could say.

They had followed the plan set out by the Beast Race, but in the end, it was their troops that had messed up. The Beast Race were able to deal quite a bit of damage to the camps of their enemies, but then the troops that they sent to clean up the camps were completely wiped out.

Then they didn't know how it had happened, but the enemy had found evidence of their betrayal of the human race and of their cooperation with the Beast Race.

The ones that were currently at this meeting were naturally the kings of Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms.

The ones that had walked in were the transformed Beast Emperors of the Beast Race.

The ones in the wild clothing were from the Sky Lion Race and their leader was the Sky Lion Lord.

The ones in the noble clothing were from the Mist Pangolin Race and their leader was the Mist Pangolin Lord.

These two were the ones that led the group that had arrived.

These two were also the ones that had approached the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms in the first place because they thought that they would be able to help them with their scheme. Of course, they also didn't tell the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms about their plan to take their territory.

After all, it wasn't as if this was something that they could admit so casually.

The Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom had already been struggling since they had suffered several disasters in the past few decades. Their people had been suffering and they had asked for help from the larger Stellar Kingdoms, but all of them had given them vague responses.

Even the Zi Stellar Kingdom that was considered the keeper of this area had ignored them.

All that they had offered was some minor support when it came to supplies, but they didn't help them solve the root cause of their problems.

With no other choice, the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms knew that they would eventually become too weak to remain as Stellar Kingdoms if this trend continued. The only thing that they could do was…invade other kingdoms, so they had started militarizing themselves.

As for cooperating with the Beast Race, other than the royal families, the other powerful families didn't know a thing.

That was until the outbreak of the war with the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdoms when they finally learned the truth behind the repelling the "Beast Race invasion" plan that the royal family had.

As far as they knew, they were just supposed to repel the Beast Race and then claim this territory as part of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms, giving them land to work with. However, when they arrived, they found that the Beast Race was there waiting for them, but not to fight them.

Rather, the Beast Race was waiting there to join them.

The powerful families of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms accepted this in the end since they knew that this was the only way that they would be able to find new land for themselves.

After the disasters that they had suffered, much of their land was now unusable.

Namely, there were many planets that they had developed outposts on that were completely destroyed.

So if they wanted more land, they had no choice but to take it. But it wasn't as if it would be easy for them to take land since there were other Stellar Kingdoms around them that were much stronger.

That was why after the disasters hit them, the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms had focused on militarization.

Still, that was far from enough.

So the rulers of these two Stellar Kingdoms decided to work with the Beast Race after being tempted by them which led to this current situation.

Seeing that neither of the Stellar Kings were saying a thing, the Sky Lion Lord slammed his fist on the table and said, "Since you're all so useless, we've decided to stop supporting you."

Both Stellar Kings revealed stunned looks, but before they could say anything, the Mist Pangolin Lord said, "Of course, that is unless you can prove your worth."

Both of them narrowed their eyes as they looked at the Mist Pangolin Lord.

They knew that this routine from the two of them was deliberate, they clearly had a goal in mind when they came here. However, it wasn't as if they had a choice in this matter since they were already forced against a wall.

Every single Stellar Kingdom had declared war on them at the same time and even the Zi Stellar Kingdom was making a move. They had no chance in winning since the Zi Stellar Kingdom alone was enough to wipe them out.

So they had to have the support of the Beast Race, or their Stellar Kingdoms would be destroyed.

Seeing that they had their attention, the Sky Lion Lord sat back while letting the Mist Pangolin Lord do what they wanted.

The Mist Pangolin Lord was actually a beautiful lady, so when she suddenly revealed a smile on that face that had been cold the whole time, it was like a flower blooming in the rising sun. However, neither of the Stellar Kings or their followers felt any joy seeing this.

Instead, all of them felt a chill run down their backs.

The Mist Pangolin Lord wasn't in a rush to speak as she casually sat there with a smile on her face.

All this did was cause the Stellar Kings and their followers to feel more and more tense, but they couldn't say a single thing. The only thing that they could do was wait for the Mist Pangolin Lord to speak since she held all the cards here.

After a long period of silence, the Mist Pangolin Lord said, "We want you to get someone special for us."

She didn't give them any information at all about who they wanted them to catch for them.

But of course, that was done on purpose in order to test these two Stellar Kings.

After a moment of hesitation, one of them asked, "Who is it?"

The other one didn't say anything, but it was clear by the look in his eyes that he already supported him in this.

Seeing this, the Mist Pangolin Lord gave a nod before saying, "It's someone from the Mu Stellar Kingdom. I'm sure that you've already heard about how your forces lost against the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdoms."

This was a slight jab at the two Stellar Kingdoms, but both of the kings had no choice but to give a nod in response.

The Mist Pangolin Lord also gave a nod before saying, "As long as you bring back that person who caused the changes in the pets, we'll continue backing you." Then after a pause, she added, "In fact, if you can bring him back, then we'll guarantee that another four tribes will join your side in the fight."

The eyes of the two Stellar Kings lit up when they heard this.

So far, they only had the support of three tribes from the Beast Race.

It was the Sky Lion Tribe, the Mist Pangolin Tribe, and the Rainbow Peacock Tribe that weren't here today.

Just these three tribes had already brought many experts to their side, far more than they could have imagined.

If another four tribes joined them, then they really were confident in facing the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

It was like a light at the end of the tunnel, they had suddenly found their hope to survive this predicament. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

So with firm nods, the two Stellar Kings agreed to find this person for the Beast Race.
