Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

**Sky Horizon Guild Headquarters, Top Floor Conference Room.**

In front of Xiao Xingyu lay a contract.

This was a high-salary special appointment contract.

Liu Yue sat across from Xiao Xingyu, her long legs casually crossed, exuding the charm unique to a mature woman.

“Xingyu, once you sign this contract, you’ll be our Sky Horizon Guild’s special pharmacist.”

“Take a look at the salary and benefits to see if you’re satisfied.”

Xiao Xingyu carefully scanned the contract, his eyes widening in disbelief.

“A monthly salary of one million, plus a 5% commission? Vice President…”

“Just call me Auntie.”

“Auntie, this treatment is too generous! I’m a bit overwhelmed~”

A monthly salary of one million meant an annual income exceeding ten million.

Regarding commissions, if a guild Beast Master completed a task worth ten million and their magical beast was injured in the process, as long as Xiao Xingyu could heal the beast, he would earn 5%, which would be 500,000.

Considering the scale of the Sky Horizon Guild, they completed around 100 tasks with commissions in the ten million range each year.

Thus, just in commissions alone, Xiao Xingyu could earn over 50 million annually.

Moreover, the guild sometimes undertook SSS-level missions with commissions exceeding one billion, meaning Xiao Xingyu’s commissions could be even higher.

“Calculating carefully, earning one billion a year doesn’t seem impossible…”

Xiao Xingyu muttered to himself, nearly shocked by the figure he had just mentioned.

In the past, one billion was an astronomical number for him.

Now, it seemed he could potentially earn that much in just one year.

Qin Yanran giggled beside him. 

“Xingyu, you don’t need to be surprised; this is what you deserve.”

“You’re the most outstanding Beast Doctor I’ve ever seen.”

“If Auntie doesn’t show some sincerity, other Beast Master Guilds will snatch you away in the future.”

Qin Yanran was joking, but Liu Yue had genuine concerns and decided to test the waters.

“Xingyu, with your medical skills, you’ll surely attract offers from royal families and other guilds in the future.”

“At that time, they might offer you even better conditions and benefits.”

“Would you choose to leave our Sky Horizon Guild?”

Xiao Xingyu intended to consider the question seriously but suddenly felt the temperature in the conference room drop to freezing.

Qin Yanran and Liu Yue were both staring at him.

The two beauties wore smiles that sent a chill down his spine.

“Yanran Jie, Auntie, don’t worry, I won’t leave the Sky Horizon Guild.”

Xiao Xingyu’s smile was forced, not quite reaching his eyes.

Qin Yanran immediately hugged him, pressing his head against her ample chest.

“You’re such a good brother! I love you to bits!”

Liu Yue displayed a satisfied expression.

“Xingyu, from now on, you’re not just our special pharmacist; you’re also family.”

“If anyone gives you trouble at Qinglong Academy, feel free to contact Yanran or come directly to me.”

“In all of Longyin City, no one dares to bully you.”

A warm current flowed through Xiao Xingyu’s heart.

Having grown up with Xiao Ruoxue, lacking parental figures, he finally felt a part of a family.

**Later that night.**

Xiao Xingyu hummed a tune as he rode his Hellwind Wolf back to Qinglong Academy.

All the way, a smile never left his face.

Having just signed a big contract, he felt as if he was walking on air.

“Auntie even advanced me a month’s salary; I now have an extra one million in my bank account.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll visit the Beast Master shop and buy some exclusive evolution materials for fire-type magical beasts from Luo San Niang. How delightful!”

Just when Xiao Xingyu was about to revel in his success, a sweet, childlike voice called out.

“Ruoxue Sister, I see my brother!”

Xiao Xingyu looked up, his body tensing.

It was already eleven at night.

At the entrance of Qinglong Academy, under the dim lights, stood two beauties.

One had long silver hair, and the other had her hair tied in twin ponytails.

This was Xiao Ruoxue and Ye Shimo.

“Oh no!”

Xiao Xingyu’s heart sank.

“This is bad!”

“I’m done for!”

Resigned to his fate, he walked up to Xiao Ruoxue.

“Sis, did you come to bring me dinner~”

Xiao Ruoxue held a heart-shaped bento that had long gone cold.

Ye Shimo grabbed Xiao Xingyu’s hand. 

“Brother, Ruoxue and I came here at six o’clock this afternoon, but we couldn’t find you.”

“We heard from other students that you went on a date with a beautiful girl named Qin Yanran.”

“Brother, is Qin Yanran your girlfriend?”

Xiao Xingyu quickly waved his hands in denial. “No, no, no! Qin Yanran is my god-sister.”

After saying that, his desire to survive surged, and he quickly hugged the frost-faced Xiao Ruoxue. 

“Of course, a god-sister can never compare to a real sister!”

Xiao Ruoxue shot a glare at her brother.

“What’s with you? You’ve been with Qin Yanran for so long, coming back at this hour. What have you been up to?”

Xiao Xingyu never hid anything from his family and recounted all his experiences.

Xiao Ruoxue patted Xiao Xingyu’s head. “Not bad, Xiao Xingyu, first you recognize a god-sister, and now you’ve got an auntie!”

“Are you planning to recognize more relatives, like a great-uncle or a distant aunt next?”

With Xiao Ruoxue on his left and Ye Shimo on his right, he embraced both the mature woman and the loli without hesitation.

“In any case, I’m now the special pharmacist for the Sky Horizon Guild, and my income could potentially exceed one billion a year.”

“This weekend, I’ll treat you both to a big feast!”

That night, some were joyful, while others were troubled.

**Wang Family Mansion.**

Wang Yan lay in bed, looking ashen.

The bruises and fractured ribs on his body constantly reminded him of his thirst for revenge.

The door swung open.

A man in his forties or fifties walked in.

Wang Yan bore a striking resemblance to this man, who was clearly his father, Wang Dongsheng, the vice president of Qinglong Academy.

“Dad! You have to stand up for me…”

“Useless waste!”

Wang Yan felt like a silenced machine gun, unable to speak, his eyes brimming with tears of grievance.

Wang Dongsheng adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his demeanor exuding a refined but condescending air.

“You are my son, Wang Dongsheng, yet you lost to a clown from a small city in the arena.”

“You’re embarrassing me and our Wang family!”

Wang Yan wailed, “Dad, stop scolding me! That Xiao Xingyu is really strong; his magical beast has three attributes…”

“I’ve seen the video of your match against Xiao Xingyu,” Wang Dongsheng interrupted.

“I’m fully aware of his strength.”

After watching the video, Wang Dongsheng knew that his son was no match for Xiao Xingyu.

“By the way, Dad, Xiao Xingyu recognized Qin Yanran as his god-sister.”

“He has the Sky Horizon Guild backing him; I’m afraid I won’t get a chance to take revenge.”

Wang Dongsheng let out a chilling laugh.

“The Sky Horizon Guild? We definitely can’t provoke them.”

“But if something unfortunate happens to Xiao Xingyu during the **Yin Nan Mountain Trial**, and he dies at the hands of magical beasts, it wouldn’t be our concern, would it?”

Wang Yan paused for a moment, then a wicked smile crept onto his face.

“Dad, you’re so clever!”

The Yin Nan Mountain Trial was a field combat assessment for each new batch of students at Qinglong Academy.

This trial was set to take place tomorrow morning.

The Wang father and son schemed late into the night, harboring a belly full of malicious intent.
