Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 462: Chapter 248: Sand Bee Queen!_2
What Shu Liangjun brought out was a special Insect Beast named Sand Bee Queen.

This Insect Beast was fundamentally different from the ones that Fang Mu was currently familiar with.

Typically, insect beast masters form contracts with Guardian Beasts through spiritual power, generally keeping the beasts stored in the Destiny Guidebook on a day-to-day basis.

However, a contract could be made with the Sand Bee Queen without having to wake up the Destiny Guidebook.

To make a contract, one first nurtures the Sand Bee Queen with their own blood to induce her dependency on it.

Then the contracting party entices the Sand Bee Queen to nest inside their own body.

During this process, the contractor is subject to immense pain, and a contract of mutual life and death is signed between the Sand Bee Queen and the contractor while she nests.

From then on, should the Sand Bee Queen die, the contractor would die as well.

The reverse is also true.

The Sand Bee Queen willingly signs a contract of mutual life and death with the contractor because she sees the contractor’s body as her home.

She naturally guards this home of her own accord.

Although the contracting method seems horrifying, it provides ordinary people with an opportunity to become Beast Masters.

Once the Sand Bee Queen has built her nest, she lays her first batch of eggs and hatches queen bees.

As long as there are enough resources to nurture the Sand Bee Queen, the contractor would be able to command these sand-grain-sized sand bees after approximately two months.

After a significant period of accumulation, a contractor of the Sand Bee Queen can command the sand bees into a battle that resembles a sandstorm.

Upon hearing Shu Liangjun mention this special Insect Beast from Insect Valley, Fang Mu couldn’t help but think of the Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen he had contracted with.

The two, though having different functions, both build homes inside the contractors’ bodies.

Such a congruence is uncanny.

Fang Mu desired to obtain the Sand Bee Queen.

Even though he would not use his own body to nurture the Sand Bee Queen, collecting such a unique being could be helpful at some point.

After Fang Mu headed to the exhibition area, the trading venue once again became lively.

Gao Wenyuan watched Fang Mu’s figure disappear, then she too, stepped towards the display area.

While the other people were dressed in complicated and extravagant formal attire, her outfit, albeit formal, was far simpler.

Fang Mu was dressed in black, and she was in white – they made quite a pair!

Seeing Gao Wenyuan prepared to make her move, a smile surfaced on Gao Hongying’s face.

Zhao Junwei, the family head of the Zhao Family, which had always been on good terms with the Gao Family, couldn’t help but express his opinions to Gao Hongying.

“The supplies your Gao family brought are exceptional and likely to directly catch Mr.Jianmu’s eye!”

“There’s no need to involve a noble lady from the family in these matters, right?”

“If it succeeds, it’s of course a good thing, but if there’s a mistake, the Gao family might become the only one among the Lu Du Five Families that hasn’t established a relationship with Mr. Jianmu!”

Zhao Junwei understood Gao Hongying well and knew that he was someone who liked to take shortcuts in everything.

However, short cuts are only useful depending on the circumstances, and an unwitting misstep can land one in an irredeemable situation.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Junwei wouldn’t offer such advice; he only did so because the Gao family was an ally of the Zhao family.

The two families were collectively planning a Contemplation Hall and had already selected the location.

Even though the Gao family was taking the lead in this endeavor, the Zhao family had also invested a lot.

After hearing Zhao Junwei’s words, Gao Hongying didn’t reply. Instead, he began to point out Zhao Junwei’s shortcomings.

“Zhao, do you know why the Wu family has developed so quickly over the years?”

“For the simple reason that the Wu family knows how to scheme!”

“You watched Hengyun growing up and you know his affections for the Wu family’s lady very clearly.”

“My Gao family has proposed marriage to the Wu family more than once, but we were rejected each time.”

“Despite their heavy investment in maritime transport, the Wu family is still able to run the Contemplation Hall because Wu Ge has betrothed his own daughter to the young master of the Navigation Contemplation Hall.”

“The example of the Wu family is clear. What’s wrong with what I’m doing?”

“But Zhao, you really should learn to be more cunning!”

“That being said, when it comes to cunning, Wu Ge is nowhere near as shrewd as that old man She Junjie!”

Zhao Junwei saw that Gao Hongying hadn’t taken heed of his words, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Wu Ge betrothing Wu Yao to the young master of Navigation Contemplation Hall, Zheng Han, and Gao Hongying trying to entice Fang Mu through Gao Wenyuan were two totally different matters.

The two couldn’t be compared on the same level.

The Wu family got married into the Navigation Contemplation Hall because Zheng Han was interested in Wu Yao.

The head of Navigation Contemplation Hall, Zheng Xinbo, personally proposed the marriage to the Wu family, which was an opportunity for both families to become good allies.

Even though Wu Ge had his schemings, the decision was primarily made by Navigation Contemplation Hall.

Therefore, not many people took notice of Wu Ge’s ulterior motives.

Even if Navigation Contemplation Hall noticed, they wouldn’t hold a strong stance against it.

A marriage between two big powers is inherently related to mutual benefits.

What Gao Hongying is doing now, at best, can be considered as taking initiative to promote a relationship with Fang Mu.

But on the contrary, it could also be considered as scheming against Fang Mu.

Even though Wu Ge’s actions were calculated, he wouldn’t incite backlash.

However, if Gao Wenyuan’s actions were exposed, it might instantly cause Fang Mu’s mine for the Gao family.

If Fang Mu had no intentions of engaging with other powers, Gao Hongying’s actions could still be justified.

But now that Fang Mu has indicated his willingness to interact with other families, what the Gao family is doing is akin to walking a tightrope!
