Chapter 722, Only Loves Beautiful Women?

Translator: Silavin

 

*Neigh!* The Ice Crystal Beast cried out, though no one could tell what it was trying to say.

 

At the same time, it showed no intention whatsoever of submitting to Lu Fan or becoming his Extra Pet.

 

Lu Fan found this truly bizarre and began contemplating various methods to see how exactly he could make it obediently become his Extra Pet.

 

The concept of Extra Pet was something Lu Fan was encountering for the first time, so he had no way of finding anything related to Extra Pets from his accumulated knowledge, let alone how to Tame one.

 

Perhaps bringing a scholar here might quickly reveal a method to Tame the Ice Crystal Beast.

 

But in this place, he was all by himself.

 

After a period of trial and error, Lu Fan tried bonding through blood. He would have the Ice Crystal Beast recognise his blood, or even give the Ice Crystal Beast a thorough beating to see if any of these methods could make it become his Extra Pet.

 

Unfortunately, every single attempt failed without exception.

 

After struggling for nearly a full hour, the Ice Crystal Beast now lay in the snow with a bruised and swollen face, firmly watched by two Giant Dragons, wearing an expression of utter despair.

 

Meanwhile, Lu Fan sat cross-legged, contemplating what exactly had gone wrong and how he could possibly Tame such a Monster.

 

“Could it be…” Lu Fan suddenly recalled that in the Ice Crystal Beast’s Skill description, there was a line stating that it was more affectionate towards beautiful women of the Human Race. “So, only female Players, and they must be beautiful women at that… to gain its favour and make it obediently recognise them as its Master?”

 

[How ridiculous but also likely at the same time…]

 

Originally, when Lu Fan thought of beautiful women around him, the first one that came to mind was the Devouring Dragon King.

 

The Devouring Dragon King had always followed him, and with just a thought, he could summon her to appear.

 

The Devouring Dragon King in Human Form was undoubtedly a top-tier beauty. This was beyond question.

 

However, after some consideration, Lu Fan abandoned this idea.

 

Firstly, the Devouring Dragon King was not of the Human Race. Secondly, if the Ice Crystal Beast truly became the Devouring Dragon King’s Extra Pet, it would probably be despised upon.

 

To the Devouring Dragon King, the Ice Crystal Beast was no different from an ant. Given her overwhelming power, why would she need such a Pet? In fact, would it even qualify as food?

 

Therefore, Lu Fan decided that he really needed to return to Shadow Island to see if Auntie, Jian Ying, and the others could make this Ice Crystal Beast obediently submit and become their Extra Pet.

 

If any one of them could possess an Ice Crystal Beast, their strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically!

 

Without hesitation, he acted immediately.

 

Lu Fan directly opened a Transport Array back to Shadow Island, then grabbed the Ice Crystal Beast by the ears and passed through the Transport Array, returning to Shadow Island.

 

Shadow Island remained the same as usual, though at this moment, smoke could clearly be seen rising from Shadow Fortress, and Lu Fan could also sense through his Perception Skill that there were people present on the island.

 

Ever since the Life Dragon King had taken residence here, this place had become a Levelling paradise.

 

With the combined strength of Jian Ying and the others, they were capable of killing the Monsters on Shadow Island.

 

So, they stayed on Shadow Island for increasingly longer periods, essentially spending every day here, daily battling Monsters and Levelling Up, with their strength and Level climbing exponentially.

 

Lu Fan dragging the Ice Crystal Beast and bringing Xiao Ye and Xing Chen back to Shadow Island naturally alarmed everyone in Shadow Fortress.

 

Before long, several young women emerged and witnessed the scene of Lu Fan bringing a Monster.

 

“Lu Fan, what Monster is this? It looks so beautiful!” Tao Xiaoman’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing the Ice Crystal Beast, clearly having no resistance whatsoever to its appearance.

 

She was a Close Combat Profession, and although she had no opportunity to Ride Mounts, who did not dream of riding a Sky Mount while fighting one day?

 

Tao Xiaoman felt the same way.

 

Lu Fan smiled and beckoned everyone over, saying, “This is a Monster I brought back from the Far North, called an Ice Crystal Beast. It’s very special…”

 

He then briefly explained the Ice Crystal Beast’s origins and characteristics.

 

When they heard this was a Level 120 Gold Boss, Tao Xiaoman, who had originally wanted to step forward and pet the Ice Crystal Beast, quietly withdrew her hand and took two steps backward.

 

After all, a Level 120 Gold Boss could easily obliterate a hundred of her.

 

How could Tao Xiaoman possibly imagine that this pitiful creature being dragged around by its ears by Lu Fan was actually such a terrifying Boss?

 

However, when she learned that this Boss could serve as a Sky Mount and completely ignored Player Professions, that any Profession could tame it, she became excited again.

 

Not just her, but all the young women present were attracted to this Ice Crystal Beast. Because whether in terms of appearance or strength, the Ice Crystal Beast was too perfect.

 

If such a Monster was sent to an auction house, it would probably sell for tens of billions!

 

“So, that’s why I’m here.” Lu Fan spread his hands. “I seem to have no affinity with this thing, so I specifically brought it here to see if any of you can Tame it as an Extra Pet. If none of you can Tame it… we can kill it for Experience Points, or keep it on Shadow Island and slowly see if we can gradually turn it into a Pet.”

 

Han Ke frowned slightly and said, “But how exactly do we Tame it as a Pet? None of us have a Taming Skill. Do we need it to voluntarily approach us to sign a Master-Servant Contract?”

 

Lu Fan scratched his head and replied. “I’m not clear on this either. Anyway, its description says it’s more affectionate towards beautiful women of the Human Race. I thought that perhaps beautiful women would be more attractive to it, and that you all might have a better chance to Tame it. As for how exactly… We can research further.”

 

Just then, the Ice Crystal Beast struggled a few times in Lu Fan’s grasp.

 

Lu Fan paid no attention, assuming it was just in pain from his grip, so he released his hold.

 

After all, with Xiao Ye here, Lu Fan was not worried about it harming anyone else.

 

If it showed any hostile movement, Xiao Ye could immediately make it submit with Black Dragon Pressure.

 

What nobody expected was that after breaking free from its restraints, the Ice Crystal Beast actually walked slowly towards Han Ke.

 

Just as Lu Fan frowned and was about to pin it down, he suddenly noticed that it seemed to show no signs of launching an attack.

 

Its approach to Han Ke appeared to be purely out of attraction.

 

This unexpected change left Han Ke feeling somewhat at a loss.

 

Soon, the Ice Crystal Beast reached Han Ke’s side and nuzzled her with its head.

 

Everyone was astonished, and Han Ke was even more surprised.

 

She reached out and petted the Ice Crystal Beast’s head, as if sensing something, and said to everyone in amazement, “It… seems like it wants to become my Extra Pet.”
