WTYTIAAN Chapter 184

Yan Yunqing didn’t understand; Yan Yunqing was deeply shocked.

He felt like only ten or twenty minutes, at most an hour, had passed in his dream, but what are you saying? The Silanlipe City incident was already six days ago?!

Yan Yunqing’s pupils shook. He looked at Beros, trying to verify.

Beros met Yan Yunqing’s gaze, and he was very pleased. He pointed to the sky outside—pitch black, without even a single star visible, creating a sense of oppression as if a storm was coming.

“Six days, to be precise, it’s almost the seventh day.”

As if to confirm Beros’s words, the time on the chat log jumped, showing seven days ago. Yan Yunqing’s pupils shook again.

What? He actually slept for a week? Was he possessed by the God of Sleep or put under a Sleeping Curse? How could he sleep for so long?!

No, no, no—that’s not right, the most important thing is the players!

Yan Yunqing almost performed a scream. He hurriedly looked at the unread messages.

The players were forcibly logged off the day he fell asleep, and the update time was three days. That means a new batch of players has been online for almost three days now?!

Yan Yunqing flipped through the messages one by one, and sure enough, he saw that after the new players went online four days ago, his [Carrier Pigeon] was flooded with messages. This is why his [Carrier Pigeon] was filled with 99+ messages, all brought by the new players.

But fortunately, Yan Yunqing had already arranged the methods to deal with the new players before he fell asleep, and everything that needed to be explained was explained almost. When the new players went online four days ago, it did cause the NPCs to be a little flustered, but it was only for a short period. Soon, these NPCs skillfully got on the right track and began to enslave the new players (x).

At least, no major problems occurred among the old and new players. After three days, the NPCs had smoothly passed the adaptation period and accepted the fact that the number of players had changed from three thousand to ten thousand.

After reading the messages, Yan Yunqing breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped a handful of imaginary sweat without leaving a trace. When he learned that he had slept for almost seven days in one go, he had already thought about how he would smooth things over if the players found anything wrong.

Fortunately, the people of ‘Flame’ are reliable enough and are already mature NPCs. He, the behind-the-scenes writer, doesn’t need to clean up their messes by hand.

He opened the system panel, switched to the forum, and glanced at it. New players have been logged in for a full three days, and the forum page is still filled with all kinds of meaningless excited howls. A quick scan showed that there wasn’t much worth paying attention to in the popular posts.

Very good, nothing happened on the forum either. Everything is moving in a good direction.

Yan Yunqing nodded with satisfaction and finally spared a glance for Beros, who had been neglected by him for a long time.

While he was processing the messages, Beros had been sitting obediently beside him, staring at him without blinking, like a puppy waiting for its owner to play with it—this statement is very strange, after all, Beros is a man who is over 1.9 meters tall, almost 2 meters. It would be no problem to call him a bear with this build. How could words like obedient and puppy be used to describe him?

Even a large dog isn’t this large!

But Yan Yunqing really felt that Beros was like a dog, perhaps because he himself was related to the canine species.

Beros used to be treated as a dog by the Demon King, and even his name was taken from Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, which shows that Beros is really like a dog.

So it’s not his fault.

Yan Yunqing thought to himself.

“You…” Yan Yunqing spoke, opened his mouth, but couldn’t think of what to say for a moment, so he could only abruptly close it again.

Beros blinked. He suddenly stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Yan Yunqing, and took Yan Yunqing’s hand and placed it on the top of his head.

A pair of majestic wolf ears appeared on Beros’s head. When Yan Yunqing’s hand touched the ears, they trembled sensitively.

The fur on the wolf ears was much softer than the fur on the head, soft and warm to the touch, and felt extremely good. When his fingers pinched the tip of the ear, the ear would tremble accordingly, and the soft cartilage seemed to be able to deform at will with the strength of the kneading, entirely at the whim of its owner.

Yan Yunqing’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch. Then, another fluffy tail was stuffed into his arms. This big tail was like a feather duster, fluffy and extremely attractive. Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but be drawn to the big tail.

The ears in the palm of his hand trembled back and forth, tickling his palm, and the tail in his arms also swayed back and forth, constantly enticing him to caress it.

Yan Yunqing: …

Good heavens, Beros has gone bad, and he has even learned the fluffy tactic!

But this set is effective for Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing pinched his nose and admitted it, hugging the big tail and stroking it several times to vent his anger.

After satisfying his addiction, Yan Yunqing finally let go of the big tail, straightened the expression on his face, and looked at Beros seriously—but he failed in the end. As soon as he saw this handsome face, Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but recall the way this guy had pressed him on the bed and kept swallowing his saliva.

Yan Yunqing ordered with a straight face: “Turn into your beast form and talk to me.”

Beros paused, seemingly aware that Yan Yunqing’s mood was not right at the moment. Without any hesitation, he switched to his beast form.

Beros had already left his childhood long before the Demon King established the Eternal Empire. What appeared in front of Yan Yunqing was naturally not the wolf cub that the Demon King had picked up, which resembled a little milk dog.

But a large wolf with silver-gray fur, a strong body, and a majestic appearance.

The same deep blue eyes, on the human Beros, carried mystery, madness, and occasionally revealed a bit of clear obedience, but on the wolf Beros, only ferocity remained.

If ordinary people saw it, they would be scared and almost run away with just one glance.

Yan Yunqing dared to guarantee that if he had met Beros when he first transmigrated, he would have been so frightened that his legs would have trembled. The bloody killing intent on his body, even if restrained, could still be completely felt by Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing rubbed his nose and chose the latter between ‘being stared at affectionately by the human Beros’ and ‘being fiercely watched by the wolf Beros’.

At least the latter would at most give Yan Yunqing a desire to train a dog, not make his scalp tingle like the former.

“Beros, I’m going to ask you some questions.” Yan Yunqing straightened his emotions and met the wolf’s eyes, “Okay?”

It was clearly a questioning tone, but Yan Yunqing spoke it with a statement tone.

However, Beros didn’t mind at all. He enjoyed this commanding tone very much. The wolf’s front paws took a step forward, and he placed his wolf head on Yan Yunqing’s knees.

This action has already explained everything: Beros will tell everything he knows.

The corners of Yan Yunqing’s eyes were stained with a smile, and he stroked the wolf’s head again.

“Are you the leader of ‘Blood Mist’? Youcheer is your external identity? I want to know the current meaning of ‘Blood Mist’, and why you have targeted the Augreir Family several times.”

Yan Yunqing was very interested in ‘Blood Mist’. Previously, due to the mysterious nature of this organization and the inability to find out any information, Yan Yunqing did not investigate in depth. Now that he found that their boss, Youcheer, was his little dog, Yan Yunqing would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Beros did not disappoint Yan Yunqing and answered very readily: “Yes, I am the leader of ‘Blood Mist’, and Youcheer is my external identity.”

“The name Beros is still too conspicuous. It will always be troubled by some annoying old guys—my King, I mean annoying elves and dragon cubs. They always like to cause me trouble, and I need to change my name to better find you.” After finding him, he would hide the King, hide him in a place that no one could find.

Beros said it with confidence, and Yan Yunqing didn’t hear his subtext, only thinking that he was secretly making trouble for him again.

During the Demon King period, the wolf cub liked to do this. Because Divick always liked to transform into a cub and steal the Demon King’s attention from the real wolf cub, the wolf cub always couldn’t stand Divick.

Just elves—so when did Sylph become enemies with the wolf cub?

Yan Yunqing didn’t know, and he habitually filtered out the wolf cub’s green tea remarks.

Seeing that Yan Yunqing didn’t respond, Beros could only temporarily put aside the discord with Divick and Sylph and focus on the parts that Yan Yunqing was interested in.

“‘Blood Mist’ was a third-rate mercenary group I encountered hundreds of years ago. At that time, there was a demonic beast riot, and many people died in the mouths of the demonic beasts. I joined them, and they made me the boss because of my strength.”

There was no expression on Beros’s wolf face. “I led them to fight demonic beasts, and occasionally killed two nobles—my King, those were all despicable guys who subverted your empire. I have not killed an innocent person.”

He emphasized, earning Yan Yunqing a smooth head stroke.

Beros was satisfied, narrowed his eyes, and was very content. “Then the number of people in the mercenary group increased—many people joined inexplicably. I couldn’t drive them away, so I left them there. Anyway, I can afford to support them. At worst, I’ll kill a few more nobles.”

The way he said that, as if he would kill two nobles to get gold coins to support his subordinates when he ran out of money, right?

This is really…

Deeply inherited from the Demon King!

Wasn’t the Demon King’s way all along to fight a small god when he ran out of money, get some gold coins from the god’s believers, and continue to expand!

This is an old tradition of infrastructure.

“Blood Mist is what others called the mercenary group. I thought it was not bad, so I used it.”

Beros said: “As for the Augreir… Not only humans are in Blood Mist, but also some alien races. A few years ago, people under the Augreir Family kidnapped several members of Blood Mist and sent them to the Auction House. That’s when the feud started.”

“Later, we investigated the Augreir Family and found something else.”

Speaking of this, Beros didn’t continue, as if thinking about how to organize his words.

Yan Yunqing recalled the things he had found in Sunset Village and tentatively opened his mouth: “The Augreir Family is smuggling demonic beasts in private, right?”

Beros raised his eyes in surprise, but quickly calmed down and put his head back on Yan Yunqing’s knees, “Yes, not only do they smuggle demonic beasts, but they also manufacture demonic beasts.”

Yan Yunqing: ?!

Yan Yunqing was shocked, and even his voice changed a little: “Manufacture demonic beasts? What do you mean?”

Beros said: “The Augreir Family initially only sold demonic beasts privately. Later, they seemed to have figured out how to manufacture demonic beasts… that is, to turn ordinary demonic beasts into demonic beasts, and then sell them to those who need demonic beasts in order to make more money, and also create artificial demonic beast attacks to kill political enemies, and pave the way for the family to climb all the way up.”

“The Augreir Auction House was not the largest and top auction house in Bato Vita at the beginning. At that time, the commerce in Bato Vita was still very developed.”

Yan Yunqing remembered that the essential difference between Romunike and Bato Vita lies here: one empire pays more attention to money, and can even buy and sell Title as long as you have money; the other empire pays more attention to bloodline, and the power is in the hands of those old nobles.

Among those in Bato Vita that could be named, the only noble family engaged in business was the Augreir Family. The position of the Augreir Family in Bato Vita was unique. Yan Yunqing initially thought it was only because the Augreir produced a queen, helping the family to climb over a group of old nobles, so that they could stand out in an empire that values bloodlines and become the unique one.

After all, the history of the Augreir Family is not long, and it only began to rise in the last hundred years or so, which cannot be compared with those old nobles who existed in Bato Vita since its founding.
