As the evening sun cast its golden glow over Golden Bamboo City, the bustling streets teemed with activity as citizens from far and wide gathered for the much-anticipated Heavenly Beast Gathering hosted by the esteemed Chen family.


    Along the grand decorations, a long queue of pets and their owners snaked its way towards the Chen estate, each adorned in their finest attire for the asion.


    Among the throngs, Kent and Lucy stood patiently in line, their pets by their sides. Lucy clutched the invitation card tightly in her hand.


    Flying is strictly prohibited within the city limits during the gathering, so even the luxurious pets and power houses of the city were lined up obediently along with all guests.


    The line stretched for a mile, with a vibrant disy of colors and unique decorations adorning the rare and exotic pets in attendance. It resembled a grand fashion show, with each creature vying for attention and admiration.


    Kent, who never expected much about pet decorations, felt surprised when he observed all the pets lined up before him. Butterflies, hos, honeybees, rare exotic animals, nine-tailed foxes, pegasus, griffins, he almost witnessed every rare type of beast among the crowd.


    Earlier in the day, Lucy had dragged Kent away on a shopping spree through the capital city, indulging invish purchases and outfitting themselves in brand new attire.


    Instead of trimming his long, grown hair, Kent opted for a golden ribbon to tie them back, adopting a schrly look thatplemented his elegant looks.


    Together, they had spared no expense, spending over 3000 gold coins on their shopping spree, buying all types of things in preparation to start a new life.


    *At present Kent''s pegasus bracelet contain all their shopping items, including 70 sets of luxurious clothes of Lucy, who bought without battling an eye lid.


    As they finally reached the entrance to the Chen estate, the gatekeeper scrutinised their invitation card before granting them passage. Beyond the gates, a vast open field awaited, surrounded by shing stalls with colourful sign boards.


    All of them were rted to pet appraisals and services offered by skilled craftsmen. But everyone is waiting for the announcement by the Chen family to start the event.


    At the far end of the field, a raised tform beckoned, where the Chen family would soon address the gathered crowd and announce themencement of the Heavenly Beast Gathering.


    While Lucy was trying to speak with people who knew her from her business circle, Kent followed her silently.


    "Lucy, is he your boyfriend?" A middle-ageddy who is sipping wine, questioned while holding Kent''s shoulder.


    Lucy smiled shyly while staring at Kent and didn''t answer the question. But thedy who held Kent''s hand secretly winked at Kent while touching his muscles.


    Kent hurriedly pulled his hand away with an awkward smile.


    Understanding the serious re from Kent, Lucy dragged him away from the middle-ageddy.


    "I''m protecting you like a young maiden. You better wear a mask to your face." Lucy retorted while holding Kent''s shoulder, like a couple.


    Soon, an olddy stopped Lucy, who greeted with a loudugh.


    "Lucy, how is your father? The olddy asked while passing a wine ss to Lucy.


    "He is doing well." Lucy replied with a wide smile, passing the wine ss to Kent.


    While Lucy and the olddy were chatting, a mature beauty who stood beside the olddy was eyeing Kent while biting her nails. Kent felt his heart jolt as he observed the mature beauty who wore white clothes while revealing her snow-white thighs from side.


    Kent tried to avoid staring at her plump bosom, but thedy is eyeing him brazenly.


    "What? Which family dared to buy your business?" The olddy suddenly cried out when Lucy said they sold the family business.


    "Not any family. The young man who stood beside me is the new owner of the Gray family business." Lucy pointed her hand at Kent with a happy smile.


    The olddy observed Kent from top to bottom with an unbelievable gaze. "Young man, you really have a good eye for business." The olddy uttered.


    "By the way, Lucy, meet my daughter-inw. She is very talented in business. Just after marrying into my family, she brought several big contracts from top powerhouses in the city." The olddy said with a proud face while introducing the seductive beauty who is eyeing Kent brazenly.


    "She definitely did something shady." Kent muttered while pulling his gaze away from her mounds, which were partially visible from the side.


    Lucy, who has been observing the maturedy''s behavior since the beginning, red seriously at her.


    Just as she tried to drag Kent away, the patriarch of the Chen family adorned the raised tform. A young man with long, red hair followed him onto the stage. -exclusive-content

Tonight marks a special asion as we celebrate not only the beauty of our beloved pets but also the birthday of my dear son, Zi Chen. I extend my warmest wishes to him for a joyous year ahead."


    The patriarch held the hand of his son and raised it into the air with a triumphant smile.


    "Kent, that Zi Chen is the number one disciple of the Eternal Sun sect. He is also the personal disciple of a grand-elder who is in charge of Burning Sun Peak." Lucy exined to Kent while pointing her finger at the young man with long red hair.


    The patriarch''s speech continued to sound loudly around therge open ground as she spoke through his wand.

    As the patriarchal speech continued in the background, a group of Chen family servants were passing behind Kent, almost touching his shoulders. Each of them were carrying arge wooden basket, covered with ck cloth. Most of the onlookers ignored it, as the servants wore Chen family uniform.


    But Kent heard the sound of ady crying in one of the wooden baskets. Even though he is not a busybody who ces fingers in other people''s business, Kent decided to see what''s inside those baskets.


    "Lucy, I will be back soon. Take care of my pet until then." Kent whispered in Lucy''s ear.


    "Where are you going?" Lucy turned back with a questioning look. But Kent had already disappeared into the crowd.
