487: Seize resources and repay debts!

“Besides these resources… the materials required for Xiao Tian and Xiao Nian's promotion must also be repaid.”

Fang Ran looked at the materials that needed to be repaid.

Some could be obtained in this world.

But most of them were unheard of!

These unheard-of materials could only be extorted from the Celestial God Clan!

“Write a letter listing the materials I need and have them delivered.”

Fang Ran found paper and a pen.

He listed the required resources one by one.

To be safe, he would include one extra material in a large batch, and two extra when demanding from the Celestial God Clan, including some extremely expensive materials.

According to Fang Ran's estimate, besides the Celestial God Clan and a few powerful families, probably no one else could produce such high-grade materials.

“That should be enough. Capture a few divine race members and have them deliver it.”

“Xiao Nian, let's go.”

Fang Ran brought Xiao Nian.

With its current Emperor-level strength, it was enough to carry Fang Ran in low-altitude flight.

After catching a Celestial God Clan member and inquiring about their race, he stuffed the corresponding letter into their hand.

To be on the safe side, Fang Ran had prepared more than one such letter.

Upon receiving the letter, the divine race members rushed back to their clan in a panic.

The Heavenly Beasts of the divine race who received the envelope were naturally furious, cursing Fang Ran for making exorbitant demands.

Some even threatened that they would just have another descendant!

However.

In the end, they still obediently paid the price.

Only Suo Tian of the Celestial God Clan and Baal of Shadow Mountain frowned deeply.

“The things Fang Ran is asking for, even I would need time to find!”

“It's too expensive… These are the materials I prepared in advance for my promotion to the Divine Beast level,” Baal thought to himself.

After he learned that he couldn't advance to a Divine Beast using elemental power.

He had prepared the materials, hoping to break the world's limitations.

Now it seems… there's hope again for advancing with elemental power, so giving these materials to that kid is fine!

After all, the resources are only temporarily given to him for safekeeping, and when the time comes, everything must be returned!

“Fang Ran, we can only help you find a portion of the resources you're looking for.” Wan Xin approached Fang Ran.

The resource materials Fang Ran listed were unheard of.

They had to scour the Beast Taming Association's stored atlases just to find one or two.

“President, you promised this. I didn't ask for anything extra.”

Fang Ran smiled.

Wan Xin said helplessly, “This time, you really got us.”

Previously, when Fang Ran's Beast advanced to Emperor-level, he hadn't asked for resources, saying he would save it for later.

Who knew the things he wanted were so rare and expensive? If it weren't for the great goodwill various countries subtly held for him, collecting these resources would be impossible even for a president like him!

“Two important materials are still missing… Elemental Crystals. It seems even the Celestial God Clan can't produce them.”

Fang Ran pondered.

He suddenly remembered that there was someone still locked in his Beast Taming Space.

So he submerged his spiritual power into the Beast Taming Space and arrived before the cage.

With a wave of his hand, the chains hanging on the door opened with a clang, and the creature inside reacted instantly.

“What are you doing here?” Liu Menglan, the woman with a pair of antlers, snorted.

“I'm letting you out.”

Fang Ran smiled.

But it wasn't free.

“I'm not leaving.” Liu Menglan closed her eyes and sat directly on the bed, showing no intention of leaving.

This reaction made Fang Ran freeze, and he hastily asked, “Don't you want to go back to your clan?”

If you don't leave, how can I sell you?

However, facing Fang Ran's question, Liu Menglan still said, “I'm not leaving.”

She had signed a contract with Fang Ran and could be considered a Beast, so she naturally enjoyed the benefits of this Beast Taming Space!

Feeling her strength rapidly improving made her increasingly unable to leave this feeling; it was much better than struggling to improve within her clan!

“You have Stockholm Syndrome, don't you?”

Fang Ran said speechlessly.

“You'll leave whether you want to or not!”

“There are many people looking for you outside. I heard they are your clan's elders, and they demanded it.”

After saying this, Fang Ran ignored the stunned Liu Menglan and disappeared from the Beast Taming Space.

Immediately, he released the news that Liu Menglan was still in his hands.

Vast Mountain.

A mountain range filled with green.

On that peak, there was a woman with greenish-blue pupils and a pair of elk antlers on her head.

A gentle breeze and the aura of nature emanated from her, as if she didn't belong to this world, out of place with the surrounding creatures. With every step she took, the flowers and plants on the ground would grow!

“God of Nature, we have found Liu Menglan's whereabouts!”

Everyone bowed their heads.

“Speak,” the woman said.

Like a gentle breeze, it blew into everyone's hearts.

A few people hesitated for a moment, then handed over a piece of paper.

She reached out and took it, her gaze falling on the paper, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing her not speak.

The people below quickly accused, “This human is too arrogant, demanding such expensive…”

“Give it to him.”

“What…” Everyone looked up, stunned.

But the figure had already left.

Behind her, on a blooming lotus, lay two crystals containing a strong aura… “The materials are enough, just those two crystals are missing.”

Fang Ran muttered to himself.

Just then, a hurried footsteps sounded, and the person pushed the door open and said, “Senior Fang, someone claiming to be from Vast Mountain has arrived!”

“They're here!” Fang Ran's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up.

He went outside the Remnant Domain and indeed saw two creatures from Vast Mountain.

A natural aura enveloped their bodies, completely different from ordinary divine race creatures.

“We've brought the things. Where is she?”

The two spoke.

They seemed very displeased with Fang Ran.

“Here she is.” Fang Ran waved his hand.

Liu Menglan was forcibly squeezed out of the Beast Taming Space.

As soon as she appeared and saw her clansmen, she quickly hid behind Fang Ran, resisting, “I'm not going back!”

“What… The God of Nature went to great lengths to buy you back, and you're not going back?”

The two looked stiff.

They looked at Fang Ran, suspecting he had put a spell on Liu Menglan.

“Don't look at me like that.” Fang Ran gave an awkward smile and said, “I didn't force her; she insisted on staying here herself.”

Saying that, he nudged Liu Menglan, signaling her to go over.

But she resisted desperately, saying, “You were the one who wanted to contract me, and now you want to drive me away!”

The two blinked, looking at Liu Menglan, and she didn't seem to be controlled by anyone.

“Quick, give me the things. You can take the person.” Fang Ran looked very annoyed.

He walked forward and snatched the box from the hands of the stunned duo.

But Liu Menglan still clutched his arm, saying, “I'm not leaving; I'm staying here!”

“Quick, put me in the Beast Taming Space. Every second you don't release me, I lose a second of evolution!”

She showed a fierce expression, but in Fang Ran's eyes, she looked like a teddy bear.

“How about… we go back and report?”

“Never mind her. The things have been delivered. What if she doesn't want to come with us?”

The two frowned slightly, intending to go back and ask the God of Nature.

As for Liu Menglan, as long as her life was safe, it didn't matter. One day, the God of Nature would personally come for her.
