Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

Gazing at the Cat shaped fruit, Red couldn't help but wipe its mouth, then looked eagerly at Blaze Regret, whose expression was one of amusement.

"I can give you the recipe, but you must promise me that under no circumstances will you reveal its origin to anyone." Blaze Regret lifted his head, staring directly into the girl's water like eyes.

"You are indeed cautious." The girl in red smiled slightly, her soft, boneless hand extending towards Blaze Regret.

"Pleasure doing business."

Blaze Regret also smiled as he handed over the recipe for Black Flame Mud. The girl in red quickly and happily grabbed it, her extraordinarily soft hand inevitably brushing against Blaze Regret's palm.

Feeling the gentle touch, Blaze Regret felt a slight itch in his heart and couldn't help but think that when this girl grows up, she will certainly become a captivating figure.

"By the way, you're a Seventh Rank Spirit Imperial Master, aren't you?"

Carefully placing the recipe into the Void Realm Stone, the girl in red suddenly leaned forward, her pure yet enchanting face just an inch away from Blaze Regret's nose.

Seeing this, all the surrounding male spirit masters were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could kick Blaze Regret aside and enjoy such treatment themselves.

Only Lin Dan, who was leaning against the wall, lowered his head with a complex expression. Others might not know the girl's background, but he was well aware that even some powerful spiritual masters were usually not regarded by her.

"That's right."

Smelling the subtle fragrance before him, Blaze Regret awkwardly leaned back, his earlobes uncontrollably beginning to flush red. Although he had encountered many beautiful women over the years, this was the first time he felt utterly at a loss.

"Are you interested in joining me in the future? In Snow Storm City, I can offer quite a bit of protection," the young girl said, blinking her bright eyes. It seemed that any normal man would find it hard to refuse her offer.

However, to her surprise, Blaze Regret shook his head without hesitation.

"Sorry, I don't have any plans to join any faction at the moment," Blaze Regret replied with a dry laugh.

"Fine, I won't force you," the girl said with a practiced air of maturity, despite being about the same age as Blaze Regret. She generously waved her hand. "If you ever run into trouble, you can come to the Angsana Pavillion for help, just say you're looking for Alif Dee, and I'll show up."

With that, the girl in red turned away without hesitation, walking off with a flair. Yet, only she knew how frustrated she truly felt; being rejected twice in one day was a significant blow to her usually proud heart.

If this were to become known to the city's elite, Blaze Regret's life might become quite difficult.

"Beauty is trouble," Blaze Regret muttered softly, not taking the girl's words to heart. If he ever did seek help from the Angsana Pavillion, he knew the favor would be a complicated one to repay.

He never believed in free lunches. For talents like himself, powerful factions naturally wanted to recruit them, much like the Kartis Family's assessment, which was conducted with such intentions.

"Wait, Angsana Pavillion, Alif Dee?" Suddenly realizing something, Blaze Regret's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the distant, graceful red figure. So all along, this young girl was from the Angsana Pavillion?

And even more importantly, her surname was Alif?

Coming back to his senses, Blaze Regret felt a bit helpless. Had he known earlier, he might have simply given the recipe for Black Flame Mud to her as a goodwill gesture. In Velorian City, he had often benefited from the Angsana Pavillion and Alif Azfar.

However, about a year ago, Alif Azfar seemed to have left Velorian City, and he wasn't sure where the Angsana Pavillion had reassigned her.

Nonetheless, this did not diminish Blaze Regret's gratitude towards her.

"Thinking about it, there's only a month left until the Kartis Family's assessment," Blaze Regret mused, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.

The Kartis Family's assessment was reputedly held within the Kartis Family's ancient grounds, a completely independent space filled with a primordial aura, and it could only be accessed once every three years. Moreover, the entry point was entirely random each time, which meant that anyone who entered had a fair chance of encountering great opportunities. Such a potential leap in fortune was highly enticing to all the young people of Snow Storm City, except for those already belonging to major powers or influential families.

More importantly, those who performed exceptionally well in the ancient grounds might even be accepted into the Kartis Family, gaining access to abundant cultivation resources.

These prospects were enough to make many young people, driven by ambition, rush headlong into the opportunity.

"The chance for revenge is almost here," Blaze Regret murmured with a faint smile, gently stroking the fur of Red, which was clutching the strangely shaped scarlet fruit in its paws. A cold gleam flashed in its eyes as it nodded heavily.

From the moment it was born, Red witnessed Kartis Van's Silver Thunder Wolf injuring Blaze Regret, so for it, Kartis Van and his dazzling, thunderous wolf were unforgivable enemies.

"Soul An is coming, quickly pack up!" Suddenly, as Blaze Regret was lost in thought, the surrounding vendors began to panic. With anxious expressions, they hurriedly packed their more valuable items into Void Realm Stones.

Leaning against the wall with an expressionless face, Lin Dan looked at Blaze Regret's back and slowly said, "You'd better pack up your stall immediately, or you're going to have trouble."

Hearing Lin Dan's voice, Blaze Regret was initially taken aback, then his brow furrowed slightly.

Trouble?

"It's too late," Lin Dan remarked as he saw Blaze Regret remain unmoved. He gently shook his head, then looked down with an indifferent expression at the ground beneath him, where several small cracks were visible.
