Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

"Come out, Divine Snow Moth!"

The moment Zhang Youcheng gave the order, a huge snow-white silkworm moth flapped its thick golden-tipped wings, and crawled out of the portal, slowly landing beside him.

"Fweet?"

The Divine Snow Moth tilted its head and looked around curiously, the goose-feather-like feelers on its forehead were wagging.

"I didn't think that your Zhang family would be able to get such a rare spirit beast."

Lear looked at the Divine Snow Moth in surprise. It was a very powerful spirit beast. Almost every Divine Snow Moth had the strength of a Count when they are born.

If it flapped its wings, the area would snow heavily. If they were enraged, they could trigger a huge snow avalanche!

"The Zhang family paid a great price to get this spirit beast." Zhang Youcheng tenderly stroked the fluffy fur on the neck of the Divine Snow Moth. "Originally, I was planning to use this spirit beast to deal with Shen Fei. But after you said that, I've thought it through."

Zhang Youcheng's gaze turned to the deep black sea, his heart burning with hatred.

"Rather than waiting for Shen Fei to come and get killed, it's better to take the initiative to attack and make my spirit beast stronger so that I can kill him!"

"You finally understand." Lear looked at Zhang Youcheng with a gratified expression and simply stepped aside for him. "Then hurry up. The core is in the middle of the sea! The earlier we get it, the better it'll be for us!"

"Yes." Zhang Youcheng reached out to pat the Divine Snow Moth's fur, his eyes full of reluctance. "Go!"

"Fweet!"

The Divine Snow Moth charged forward, flapped its thick wings, and dove straight into the sea.

"Fweet!"

The moment it came into contact with the black seawater, the Divine Snow Moth's face clearly showed a pained expression. Its once outstretched feelers also quickly curled up.

Zhang Youcheng looked at the Divine Snow Moth's pained expression, and his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. He turned his head away, unwilling to look.

However, as long as he could eliminate Shen Fei, he was willing to pay any price!

"Continue forward, don't stop!"

At Zhang Youcheng's command, the Divine Snow Moth endured the intense pain and slowly sank into the pitch-black sea.

"Don't worry too much about it, Zhang Youcheng. As long as your spirit beast can eat the core of this secret realm, we will definitely be able to defeat Shen Fei!"

Lear watched the Divine Snow Moth that was gradually sinking into the black Lake. He nonchalantly glanced at Zhang Youcheng, a scheming smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

...

'Where did the two of them go?'

Shen Fei frowned, looking at the broken mucus on the ground with a puzzled expression. He had followed the stinking trail for a long time, but it stopped here and did not show any signs of moving forward—the trail had stopped.

Shen Fei frowned, held his chin and paced back and forth around the mucus, deep in thought.

'Where else could they have gone?'

He had also gotten the Flame Owl to check the nearby area. But it could not find them. And with Zhang Youcheng's personality, it was unlikely that he would leave the wormhole before the time was up.

Firstly, his jade tablet would completely stop showing his score, and he would be at a huge disadvantage in the match against Shen Fei. Secondly, there were still six days before the designated time to leave. So, not only would they not get any bonus points if they went out early, they might even lose a few points because they were seen as being not brave enough.

Although Zhang Youcheng had always been against him because of his desire for Aloy, his basic intelligence was still there; he could not possibly leave the examination halfway.

Shen Fei knelt down and was about to observe the mucus more carefully when a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Shen Fei, you're here!"

Aloy hurriedly ran toward Shen Fei.

"Didn't you say that you couldn't just come in here?" Shen Fei looked at Aloy in surprise.

"The other side noticed that there was a change here, so they agreed to let me enter." Aloy worriedly surveyed Shen Fei up and down. She took his hand and carefully examined the injury. "Are you alright?"

Shen Fei smiled as he watched Aloy, his body gradually relaxing. "I'm fine!"

"It's good that you're fine." Aloy's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed. "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

"Wait." Shen Fei pulled back Aloy. "Since you're the organizer, you should be able to see the situation in the wormhole, right?"

"Of course." Aloy nodded her head dubiously and slowly pulled her hand back from Shen Fei's. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

She knew that Shen Fei was going to capture Lear, but what did this have to do with Zhang Youcheng? Aloy frowned.

Shen Fei became serious. He grabbed her hand and earnestly pleaded, "Just tell me where they are now."

"...Alright," she said.

Aloy decisively took out a transmission crystal from her chest pocket. The crystal spun slowly in Aloy's palm. Countless images from the wormhole flashed on every side of the crystal, and finally stopped at a dark sea.

'Is this where they are?'

Shen Fei extended his hand and lightly tapped on the image. With just a slight motion, the picture was immediately enlarged.

Zhang Youcheng and Lear were standing side by side, quietly standing next to a black sea, as if waiting for something.

'Why are they there?'

"What...?" Aloy opened her mouth in shock and stared at the black sea that was gradually becoming foggier.

'That place is the core of the entire wormhole, the deep secret realm! How did Lear find it? And why did he go to that place?'

Aloy furrowed her brows and moved forward to take a closer look.

In his previous life, the news of the deep secret realm was only reported a few months after the disaster. She did not expect it to be found so early this time.

Aloy had an inexplicably bad feeling. 'Could it be that the disaster in this life was brought forward?'

"Aloy, do you recognize this place?" Shen Fei curiously tilted his head and looked at Aloy.

From her reaction, it seemed like Aloy knew something.

"...The place where they are is called the deep secret realm. It's the core of every wormhole realm."

Aloy stared at the black sea in the image with a complicated expression.

"All living things that die in the secret realm will return to the deep secret realm. In theory, it's the same as heaven."

Shen Fei understood. "Then how do we get in?"

"You'd better not." Aloy shook her head decisively and grabbed Shen Fei's hand. "The deep secret realm is a more dangerous existence than the wormhole secret realm!

"Then, are we just going to watch them mess around inside?"

"I didn't mean it that way." Aloy lowered her eyes, and there was some hesitation in them. "You must have seen Lear's current inhuman state."

Shen Fei nodded hesitantly.

"That is the price to pay for entering the deep secret realm."
