...
Seeing the scene before him, Fang Xun fell into a rare silence.
It was a silence born of speechlessness and helplessness.
In fact, before Fang Xun arrived, he had been wondering if some Disaster Beast were hiding to set a big trap for him, or perhaps teach him a lesson.
But clearly, he had overthought things.
This group of Disaster Beast genuinely wanted to be dogs.
Fang Xun had originally planned to pick a few out to make an example of them, but now it seemed he had worried for nothing.
At this moment, the underground plaza was packed with Disaster Beast.
Slightly less than half were humanoid, wearing various types of clothing, but it was obvious they were all doing jobs that weren't particularly high-level.
Fang Xun finally spotted a few wearing suits, but upon asking, they turned out to be intern salesmen.
With the newly evolved brains of the Disaster Beast, they truly couldn't handle much complex work.
"So, they really just want to be dogs."
Even after seeing this scene of countless Disaster Beast barking, Fang Xun confirmed it once more.
"Yes," Qi Lian nodded.
"We discussed it in depth, and being Brother's dogs is the best possible outcome.
First, as long as we are obedient, you won't attack us.
Second, human life is very good."
Actually, the first point wasn't important; they could always just avoid Fang Xun if necessary.
The aspect of lifestyle was the core reason the Disaster Beast were willing to be dogs.
Among the Disaster Beast who had experienced life as humans, very few truly wished to return to their previous miserable existence, unless they were aiming to climb higher and live even better.
Damn it, when they were Disaster Beast, they slept in caves and ate the flesh of hunted creatures.
The miserable ones even wished they could eat dirt and insects.
But after becoming human? Except for having to spend money everywhere, they slept in beds, ate prepared meals, and could order any flavor they wanted delivered right to their door.
Compared to before, it was simply a life of immortals.
As for the source of money?
No one could compete with Disaster Beast in terms of physical stamina.
A human working as a driver might collapse after working a dozen hours, needing a full day to recover.
But Disaster Beast could genuinely work twenty-four hours straight.
Tired? What was tired?
The intensity of just sitting and driving was practically a vacation.
Of course, it couldn't compare to a real vacation.
The only thing limiting the working hours of the Disaster Beast was the platform's regulations.
After all, the platforms genuinely feared they might work themselves to death.
But as long as they could gain Fang Xun's endorsement, they could truly stand in the sunlight.
At least, they could stand in the sunlight to a certain degree.
"Brother, what do you think?" Qi Lian held Fang Xun's hand, unconsciously adopting a slightly coquettish tone.
"I want to know, do none of the Disaster Beast have any objections? You couldn't possibly all be this united in wanting to be... wanting to be treated this way."
Fang Xun couldn't quite comprehend how such an absurd-sounding decision could have been reached unanimously.
Forget such a massive group, even in a small company, there would be scheming and infighting.
"Perhaps there were before," Qi Lian nodded very seriously.
"However, after Brother killed that group last time, there shouldn't be any more."
Fang Xun immediately understood.
The large group he killed last time were likely the ones who disagreed with Qi Lian.
This girl had used his hand to purge the opposing faction.
It also established deterrence.
No wonder she had prepared the Talismanic Incantations so meticulously.
"That's not it, Brother. I wanted to give the Talismanic Incantation to Brother long ago," Qi Lian blinked.
"Wait, you can hear what I'm thinking in my head?" Fang Xun was shocked.
"Whatever Brother thinks, you guessed it immediately. Brother is always very easy to guess."
"Then what am I thinking right now?"
"You are thinking that I am very beautiful," Qi Lian said without any shyness.
"...That's true."
Before, he thought this girl was simple, but now he saw she was anything but.
"So, are you the strongest among these Disaster Beast now?" Fang Xun stared at the girl.
She was indeed very beautiful.
"Mhm, before it was my mother. In human terms, my mother," Qi Lian nodded.
"However, Mother went out earlier and isn't in Dongcheng City. So Brother won't see her for now."
"Can you guarantee that all these Disaster Beast won't cause any trouble?" Fang Xun still felt some worry in his heart.
This was a huge matter, an extremely big matter.
Disaster Beast and humans had been irreconcilable for hundreds of years.
How could things be resolved just because he wanted them to be?
This matter was difficult to handle.
"Actually, I'm not certain," Qi Lian shook her head. "Even humans can't claim all their companions are good people.
I also cannot prove that all my kin will never exhibit abnormal behavior.
But we will be Brother's dogs.
You can sign a treaty on our behalf with the leaders of Dongcheng City.
As long as Brother feels the treaty is fine, we will agree. What do you think, Brother?"
If one was willing to sacrifice something, certain conflicts could indeed be quickly resolved.
"Aren't you afraid? What if I sell you all out?" Fang Xun smiled.
"Brother, if you wished to, you could kill us all right now," Qi Lian looked extremely naive.
"Brother definitely wouldn't be heartless."

Dongcheng City, Special Affairs Bureau Branch.
It was already dark, but Wei Heng Heng was still working overtime.
The recovery of that community today had made Wei Heng ecstatic.
Inside the Special Affairs Bureau, they had even held a celebratory party, directly violating the ban.
Wei Heng, who was already drunk, was about to go back to sleep when a sudden phone call yanked him out of bed.
That call scared the heavily intoxicated Wei Heng so much that he almost jumped out of bed.
It was a call from the Senior.
The Senior wanted to talk to him.
What kind of matter could be described with the word 'talk'?
Based on his many years of experience, there was less than a ten percent chance this was good news.
But ninety-nine percent of the time, it was bad news.
Now, Wei Heng sat in his office with a sense of restraint.
Beside him was Lu Li, crossing her legs.
If it weren't so embarrassing, Wei Heng would have wanted to drag Jiang Qin over to back him up.
But he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Alright, alright, stop shaking. Look at your cowardly self," Lu Li rolled her eyes. This old dog also had times where he was this scared; he was already sweating profusely.
"It's not the Great Senior calling you. That's weird. How does the Great Senior know my private number?" Wei Heng tugged at his collar, feeling like breathing was a bit difficult.
"I gave it. Not many people in our Special Affairs Bureau know your private number," Lu Li spread her hands.
Wei Heng: "?"
"So, do you know what the Great Senior wants to talk to me about?"
Hearing that the Great Senior was in contact with Lu Li, Wei Heng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know. He just asked me for your number," Lu Li shrugged.
"Then did the Great Senior say when he's coming?"
Actually, the two of them had been waiting for a while, but Fang Xun hadn't given a precise time, only saying he wanted to come over for a talk.
As soon as Wei Heng finished speaking, the door was pushed open by a hand.
"He's here."
Following that voice, a person wearing a pleasant goat mask walked in.
Fang Xun hadn't prepared anything today, so he casually bought a pleasant goat mask from the roadside.
"Senior, hello."
Wei Heng immediately stood up.
"Hello."
Fang Xun nodded and got straight to the point.
"I've come this time to discuss a treaty."
"Please speak," Wei Heng immediately stood ramrod straight and spoke with extreme deference.
Fang Xun looked directly at Wei Heng.
"Regarding the matter of Disaster Beast and Remnant Beastss serving as dogs for the citizens of Dongcheng City."
Wei Heng: "?"
Lu Li: "?"
