The elemental queen saying it was because of love had given Zhang Che a headache.
He decided that he needed to save her from television. If she continued this way, one of his powerful combat forces would be crippled.
Of course, this wasn’t the main point. The key was that she even knew what love was now. What should he do if a day came where she wanted to pursue her own love?
Zhang Che wouldn’t deny her this freedom… well, maybe saying that would be going against his conscience a little, but the thing was, was there anyone who could bear the elemental queen’s passionate, burning love?
If someone really developed feelings of love for the elemental queen and they were in love with one another, it would really turn out to be like adding firewood to the burning flames. All that would be left would be ash.
It was too dangerous. Zhang Che resolved himself when he thought of the consequences. He had to divert the elemental queen’s attention!
So, what should he use to divert her attention? That was a very tricky question…
Books were obviously out of the question. Zhang Che had already tried them. The elemental queen wasn’t interested in books at all. Even novels with very high readability would be put down after a few minutes of reading, leaving her about to fall asleep.
Comics? Well, they were also considered a type of book. The elemental queen would probably not be interested in them, either.
If not… games? That seemed very feasible!
No matter how entertaining television was, how could it compare to games? The elemental queen would definitely be drawn into them…
However, Zhang Che couldn’t help but hesitate. -Is it really good to do this? Games seem to do more harm than television. Is this considered me trapping an underaged chi… pet?-
Thinking of this, Zhang Che cast a glance at the elemental queen’s chest. He shook his head, -Underage my ass. Would any underage woman have such full hills?-
“Gah, what am I thinking!?” Shaking his head, Zhang Che hurriedly shifted his gaze away from the elemental queen’s body. That was a mass of raging flames that could burn everything. He mustn’t have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have, or the consequences would be too horrifying!
“This is tricky. Looks like it really won’t be easy to get rid of the elemental queen’s addiction to television.”
In the end, Zhang Che didn’t come to a decision on what he should use to divert the elemental queen’s attention, and he fell asleep before he realized it.

It was the dawn of another morning.
The group of foreigners who had attacked the villa were all apprehended, and the Haotian Gang was already a thing of the past. Huang Tielan woke up early in the morning and had breakfast, then bade farewell to Sun Lan and let Liu Gang drive her to Bei Du University.
Although Huang Tielan didn’t go to school during the past few days, she wasn’t lagging behind in her work.
On the contrary, not only did she learn a lot of information about beast card cultivators in advance of the school curriculum, she even studied the attributes of a mid-tier beast card and produced the recipe of its cultivation fluid.
That beast card wasn’t one Zhang Che left behind for her. Instead, it was homework Professor Sun Qilong gave to her personally after she mentioned the examination for becoming an intermediate beast card cultivator.
The homework was very simple. Professor Sun gave her a few days’ time to figure out the beast card’s attributes and write down a cultivation fluid recipe for it. If the ingredients listed down were over ninety-five percent compatible to it, then she’d be allowed to take the examination for becoming an intermediate beast card cultivator.
If she failed to reach the standard, then she had to drop the matter.
After all, although Professor Sun knew Huang Tielan was very gifted in beast card cultivation and was far ahead of her peers, her experience after becoming a primary beast card cultivator was too lacking.
Professor Sun’s intentions were that he wanted Huang Tielan to accumulate more experience before taking the examination to become an intermediate beast card cultivator. However, Sun Qilong was unaware of Huang Tielan’s little secret. She had Zhang Che’s support, giving her countless perfect cultivation fluid recipes and learning from them. At present, she was confident of passing the intermediate beast card cultivator’s examination.
Time waits for no man! Miss Tienan was very aware of that truth. Zhang Che’s most pressing desire was to have his powerful subdued beasts advance a star tier or two. Although his data eyes showed him the recipes to their respective cultivation fluids, it would be too difficult of a task if Huang Tielan’s practical ability wasn’t a level higher. Once she became an official intermediate beast card cultivator, Huang Tielan could start learning the more advanced knowledge. It would be very helpful to Zhang Che’s cause!
——-
After reaching school, Huang Tielan went to Sun Qilong’s office directly and expressed her purpose clearly. He couldn’t help but sigh slightly when he saw the glint of confidence in the girl’s eyes.
She was the most talented beast card cultivator he had ever seen. He was hoping she would spend more time consolidating her foundations first. That way, her future developments would be smoother.
Alas, since Huang Tielan had insisted, he had no way to stop her. He only hoped that she would experience a little setback this time. It would prove to be more beneficial to her future growth.
After receiving the paper and mid-tier beast card from Huang Tielan, Sun Qilong casually put the beast card aside and focused on looking at the paper.
Upon reading it, his expression changed subtly. He had originally thought it would be very difficult for Huang Tielan to research the cultivation fluid recipe for the beast card in only a few days. At the very least, she should have gotten a few things wrong.
Unexpectedly, the ingredients Huang Tielan had listed down on the paper, in addition to their purity and sequence, actually didn’t have many obvious mistakes! In other words, if her luck was good enough, there was an extremely high chance of her successfully advancing the beast card to the next star tier, even if the recipe wasn’t the most optimal!
Huang Tielan stood at the side, stealing glances and studying Sun Qilong’s expression. When she saw the astonishment on his face, she couldn’t help drawing back her lips slightly into a smile.
She knew she had passed his test! The next course of action should be to apply to the school to formally take the test to become an intermediate beast card cultivator!
Sun Qilong was still shaking from the shock. He put the paper aside silently, then asked Huang Tielan a series of deep and tricky questions, all of which were related to the beast card and the cultivation fluid recipe.
However, words flowed out from Huang Tielan’s mouth like a smooth river, answering Sun Qilong’s questions without the slightest hesitation or pause, nor were there any mistakes.
With that, Sun Qilong was finally certain that the recipe was indeed completed by Huang Tielan herself, and not by the hands of someone else.
Sun Qilong could no longer hide the gratified smile on his face.
Although he had hoped for Huang Tielan to settle down for some time to solidify her foundations at the start, now that he had discovered she did indeed have enough experience, in addition to her shocking talent, why not let her have a try at it?
If this little girl could really pass the examination to become an intermediate beast card cultivator in one try, it could be considered as adding to his face too, not to mention having a successor!
“Not bad. Looks like you indeed have the skills to take the examination for intermediate beast card cultivators!”
