The Paper Puppet took out a tablet, flipped through it, and revealed an extremely satisfied smile on its face.

As the legacy Pet Beast of the Celestial Gate, she prioritizes everything for the Celestial Gate.

Master Jiang has been unusually busy lately and hasn't had time to treat the Pet Beasts, so the Paper Puppet could only turn her attention to Ye Bai.

"Master Jiang will not be returning for the time being."

"You might need to stay in Anbao Hall for now, or I could move the exit of Anbao Hall to a safe location and fix it there."

Ye Bai thought for a moment: "How about this, I can't stay here long term; I previously ran a Cultivation House, so just set the fixed exit of Anbao Hall there."

"That would make it easier for me to come and go."

"Anyway, I'll be inheriting the entire Anbao Hall in the future, so I should decide where the exit goes."

At that moment, Ye Bai suddenly received a phone call from his teacher, Zhang Lingxue.

"Teacher, do you need something from me?"

Ye Bai answered the phone.

"Can't I just check what you're up to?"

"I rarely get to see you even when I return from missions."

Zhang Lingxue teased him a bit.

"Ye Bai, there's an experiment here that you might want to get involved in."

"Additionally, there's a surgery that might require your assistance; those people approached me, and it was hard for me to refuse."

"But the timing for the surgery can be set according to your schedule. Their Exotic Beast won't die anytime soon."

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow; there were people even his teacher couldn't refuse?

Interesting!

"Paper Puppet, please take me to Imperial University."

"And help clean up the Cultivation House."

"The Cultivation House is set to open in a few days."

"Our main focus is still on Pet Beast Evolution."

"You don't have any issues with that, do you?"

Of course, the Paper Puppet had no issues; these were initially her duties.

"I will help collect enough Divine Material to aid you in completing your final evolution."

"Allowing you to truly transform into a human."

"Paper Puppet, I believe that day will come."

Night fell, and the stars filled the sky.

Countless nocturnal Pet Beasts were scurrying through the woods of Imperial University, with the leaves rustling.

The clear moonlight scattered down, falling into the woods of Imperial University.

Ye Bai appeared at a place within Imperial University.

Diligent Emperor Bees were gathering honey at the treetops.

Their hormonal signals had been disrupted by the streetlights, totally unable to distinguish night from day.

Ye Bai walked past the Emperor Bees.

He observed the bees' bodies, noting the Bee Spears that had formed and the impressive poison leaking from the stingers, and he squinted slightly.

The number of Emperor Bees was increasing, and these Emperor Bees also had venom.

Ye Bai had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Emperor Bees shouldn't be nocturnal Pet Beasts, and there are far too many of them."

"Forget it, I'll send a message to the university's security office first."

Getting stung by an Emperor Bee could be deadly; if hit by a Poison Needle, it could severely send classmates into a state of deep shock.

This menace should be eradicated earlier rather than later.

Following the address sent by Zhang Lingxue, Ye Bai arrived at a private laboratory.

"9527."

After inputting the password on the lock, Ye Bai entered a spacious room.

He saw Zhang Lingxue and Su Qingxian there, both intensely focused on looking at various experimental reports.

A gentle and cute little fox appeared in the embrace of Zhang Lingxue.

Ye Bai immediately realized it was the Artifact Spirit of the Heart Moon Fox.

"Teacher, Master."

Ye Bai greeted respectfully.

"Ye Bai, we've called you here to assist in researching a particular topic."

"You've probably heard of Kui Ox, right?" Zhang Lingxue spoke, her face showing a serious expression.

"Kui Ox, the Exotic Beast from Flame Country's ancient mythology?"

"What's up?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"In fact, the last Kui Ox of Flame Country died sixteen years ago."

"We extracted cells from that Kui Ox and planned to follow the cloning route."

"But the experiment has never succeeded."

"We wanted to cultivate the Kui Ox, but we've continuously failed to create a viable embryo."

"Originally, this experiment was handled by me and Xiaoxue, but she recently took on an urgent task, and I have other experiments that require my attention as well."

"So I wanted to ask if you have time recently and are willing to take over the Kui Ox cloning experiment."

Su Qingxian took a sip of tea and asked Ye Bai.

"A cloning experiment, huh."

Ye Bai was quite interested but uncertain about his available time lately.

He's been part of the Twenty-Eight Constellations now, and his schedule isn't entirely under his control.

"I've asked Dashan, and there won't be any tasks assigned to you temporarily because the Kui Ox cloning experiment holds great significance for our Flame Country."

"Kui Ox can deter various demons and spirits and also has a significant deterrent effect on Exotic Beasts invading Flame Country."

"This cloning plan has profound impacts on Flame Country."

"It's just a matter of your personal time now, whether you have the availability or not."

Seeing this, Ye Bai readily agreed.

"I am honored to receive this research task."

"If you trust me, I'm willing to take on this responsibility and risk."

Su Qingxian smiled warmly upon hearing this.

"Just focus on conducting the experiment, and don't worry about the responsibility and risk; your teacher and I will share that."

"But there's one thing I need to clarify for you."

"There aren't many surviving Kui Ox cells left."

"I can apply to Imperial University to retrieve the remaining parts of the Kui Ox."

"This experimental task is extremely daunting, Ye Bai, just do your best, and don't overthink it."

"As for the laboratory, you can use this one."

"It's the most complete laboratory at Imperial University."

"However, I need to inform you in advance about one thing."

"The Kui Ox cloning experiment is crucial, and from the moment you agree, you must live and work in this laboratory; are you okay with that?"

Ye Bai nodded.

"No problem, Master, I can do it."

At this time, Marshal Qilin was just about to gather the Twenty-Eight Constellations when he heard about Ye Bai's secluded research on Kui Ox.

Originally, opening the Qi Fortune Hall was intended to allow Ye Bai to receive the true inheritance of the Kuimu Wolf.

"Let's delay it a little longer then."

"The Kui Ox plan is more important to Flame Country."

Marshal Qilin knew how to distinguish the weight of things.

After Ye Bai settled into the lab, the living cells and specimens of the Kui Ox were moved by the staff.

"Hello, Researcher Ye Bai, I am your exclusive research assistant."

"I am responsible for your meals and the necessary research materials."

"If you are dissatisfied with my service, you can replace the service assistant."

"I must emphasize beforehand that the Kui Ox cell fluid inventory at Imperial University is running low."

"Currently, I can provide you with all the stock left, so please use it carefully."

"Additionally, there's only this big black hoof left from the Kui Ox specimen."

Ye Bai's gaze fell on the big black hoof flashing with Thunder Light.

Is this hoof meant for Exorcism?

Ye Bai was somewhat speechless.

"Alright, first bring me some materials."

Ye Bai waved his hand, wanting to send the assistant away.

"By the way, Mr. Ye Bai, there's one more thing I need to inform you about."

"Once I leave, the door to this lab will be completely sealed."

"Unless someone outside opens it, this lab cannot be accessed."

"This lab was built using numerous superalloy metals, originally designed like an underground shelter."

"You are absolutely safe in this lab."

Since he was now in the lab at Imperial University,

Who would be so insane as to attack Imperial University?
