Actually, Li Chaoge's situation is quite awkward now.
After the conflict, she really didn't want to have any more interactions with this boy.
She preferred to resolve everything on the global Beast War Tournament stage.
However, considering her assistant's previous provocative replies to those young prodigies inviting her to be their dance partner.
Many of whom were esteemed princes from various countries.
Originally, she thought dealing with this non-specialist would be a piece of cake, planning to teach him a lesson first, showing him that there's always someone stronger.
Then, she'd give him a sweet reward, making him honored to be her dance partner and using him as a shield at the ball to fend off those annoying suitors.
Finally, she would pull him into her camp, confident in her own charm.
Besides... judging from this non-specialist's impressive battle records, he was worth recruiting.
Such a unique individual might indeed reach unimaginable heights in the future.
However...
This non-specialist's strength had completely exceeded her expectations!!
She thought his strength would be just a bit better than He Chuan's.
But she didn't expect that his power was comparable to hers!
Especially his extraordinary physical strength, capable of sending the Nine-Tailed Fox, a divine beast, flying hundreds of meters with one punch!
This completely disrupted Li Chaoge's plan of using both a stick and a carrot.
Yes...
This non-specialist was no longer within her control.
And she had already designated Ling Zhan as her dance partner in front of so many people.
If he publicly rejected her dance invitation at the ball, wouldn't that be humiliating?
Moreover... if those self-proclaimed noble princes saw her alone, they would likely harass her even more.
Thus, Li Chaoge came to prepare Ling Zhan before the banquet began.
But beauty schemes had no effect on this boy!
So she had to test him with skill books first.
An A+ grade and an A grade.
These could fetch unimaginable prices in both domestic and international markets!
And she had already mastered these two skills.
Typically, after someone masters a skill book, all the mystical power within it becomes completely ineffective, turning it into a useless blank book, like a drained shell.
She possessed multiple skill books because her frontline special operations team members submitted them to her for safekeeping.
After all, these were team assets and couldn't be privately distributed to anyone.
Only the captain could allocate them, usually rewarding the most outstanding team contributors.
But now Li Chaoge had to use such valuable items to bribe this non-specialist.
When she saw that he still showed no sign of agreeing.
She couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed and angry.
Can't even win you over with this?
Slap!!
With another wave of her hand, she threw a section of a spine from the Holy Dragon onto the table.
Roar!!
As soon as this Holy Dragon spine appeared, a vast dragon roar echoed.
The spine, burning with strange black flames, had a ghostly Western dragon head floating above it, its red eyes filled with resentment, staring at Li Chaoge.
S+ grade material!
Black Flame Holy Dragon's spine!
The sudden appearance of the divine beast dragon's aura immediately brought the three divine beast girls down from their rooms, where they were selecting dresses.
When they reached the living room and saw the items on the table and Li Chaoge sitting opposite Ling Zhan, their flawless faces puffed up, and they stared at her with vigilant and hostile eyes.
Li Chaoge ignored their attitudes.
She looked at Ling Zhan and said coldly, "This is my final offer. If you don't agree, then I will..."
'Take the items and leave' hadn't been said yet.
Swish!!
Suddenly.
Li Chaoge saw a black shadow flash before her eyes.
Such astonishing speed made her heart tighten.
When she looked closely...
The three extremely precious items on the table were gone.
The previously indifferent boy opposite her now wore a warm and hospitable smile.
He snapped his fingers lightly, "I apologize for the poor hospitality..."
"Xiao Ai, serve our esteemed guest the best Lingxiang tea!"
Li Chaoge: "..."
I've been sitting here for half a day, and you just now think of serving tea!?
And what is Xiao Ai?
The AI butler floated over with a cup of Lingxiang tea.
So the AI butler is named Xiao Ai!?
Li Chaoge experienced what it meant to change faces at lightning speed.
"No need for tea. Just ensure your partner doesn't get harassed at the banquet."
With that said.
Li Chaoge walked out of the manor, her long legs full of grace.
After she left.
The warm smile on Ling Zhan's face vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
Damn...
Another clichéd plot!
Having read countless web novels in his previous life, he knew what would happen next.
Sure enough, these two skill books were hot potatoes, not easy to take.
But the main thing was the Black Flame Holy Dragon's spine really tempted him!
Without hesitation, Ling Zhan took the spine from his storage ring and tossed it to Meng Shuang, whose small face was hesitant but drooling.
Meng Shuang didn't hesitate, putting the 50-centimeter-long spine into her mouth.
With a crunch, she bit and swallowed it with her sharp dragon teeth.
Neither Ling Zhan, Yun Man, nor Chang Yue reacted to Meng Shuang's behavior.
Ling Zhan, who often soaked in the library, knew well the crucial devouring evolution relationship between same-type divine beasts!
What is 'same-type'?
Naturally, it refers to beings from the same species!
For example, Eastern and Western dragon species.
Although their size, appearance, and abilities differ greatly, there's a story passed down in this post-catastrophe world.
It's said that in the distant ancient times, dragons were unified.
But there were two Dragon Gods.
These two represented the Eastern and Western Dragon Gods.
They had a competitive yet cooperative relationship.
Eventually, something unknown happened, causing the dragon species to split into two factions.
