Yuki Yurika consciously took on the role of tour guide.
She accompanied Lin Chuan-sama on a tour of this bustling commercial street, explaining in detail various unique Dongyang cultural aspects, shops, and goods.
The young male butler, named Tagawa Shogo, politely bowed to Lin Chuan-sama and excused himself.
After Lin Chuan-sama had walked around this bustling commercial street, gaining some understanding of Dongyang's cultural shops, and was about to find a place to rest, Tagawa Shogo very promptly drove over a very luxurious car and stopped it in front of Lin Chuan-sama.
Since the Star Rock Federation embassy stated that the organization called Lightbringer Society was trustworthy, Lin Chuan-sama no longer had further doubts and got into the luxurious car.
Tagawa Shogo acted as the driver, while Yuki Yurika accompanied Lin Chuan-sama in the back seat.
Just as her maid outfit suggested, she served Lin Chuan-sama with utmost care and meticulousness, occasionally asking him what he needed. Her conversational skills were also very high; Lin Chuan-sama felt no awkwardness or discomfort talking with her, it was very pleasant and natural, just like talking with a good friend of many years.
And Yuki Yurika looked at Lin Chuan-sama with eyes like a little girl seeing her idol, with a constant sparkle of crystal light.
How should I put it?
Lin Chuan-sama now had a feeling that he was like those super rich young masters in TV dramas.
If he were a little bolder at this moment, and directly pulled this Yuki Yurika into his arms, she would probably not refuse.
In fact, that was true; if Lin Chuan-sama really did that.
Then Yuki Yurika would only be happy and cooperative.
However, Lin Chuan-sama was not that kind of person.
It wasn't about being unswayed by beauty.
Rather, Lin Chuan-sama was self-aware; his memories from his previous life made him realize that some things should not be started.
Some things are either zero times or countless times.
It's easy to learn bad habits, hard to learn good ones.
Once it starts.
If there's a first time, there will be a second time.
With a second time, a third time will naturally follow.
Then, one will gradually sink into it, and their will will be gradually worn away. At that point, it will be very difficult to regain focus and concentrate on Beast Master.
Just like the saying from his previous life.
'A land of tender romance is a hero's grave.'
For those who want to achieve something on the extraordinary path of a Beast Master, especially male Beast Masters, controlling their desires is extremely crucial and important.
Of course, it doesn't mean absolute abstinence; that would be no different from a eunuch.
If there truly is such a need, even the terrifying training of a Beast Master cannot completely diminish their vigorous energy, such as a Beast Master whose lower Dantian is condensed and whose spiritual core attribute leans towards physical growth; they are incredibly energetic every day.
Then, seriously find a girlfriend.
It's best if the other person is also a Beast Master of comparable level, a good match, forming a Beast Master couple, supporting each other, exchanging experiences in cultivating spiritual beasts, and progressing together, rather than just casually playing around.
Lin Chuan-sama maintained the appropriate social distance from beginning to end, being gentle, elegant, polite, and proper, yet with a clear sense of refusal.
A hint of disappointment flashed deep in Yuki Yurika's eyes.
Unless these Beast Master-sama took the initiative, she could not make any overstepping actions.
Otherwise, if she affected the Beast Master-sama's mood, her current supreme and honorable job would be at risk, and it might even bring disaster to her family and friends.
After a 20-minute drive, the luxurious car stopped in front of a private courtyard featuring pavilions and towers in a distinctly Dongyang style.
A red carpet was rolled out directly to the rear door of the luxurious car, and a total of 20 maids of various styles, but equally beautiful, charming, and perfectly shaped, stood on either side of the red carpet, bowing with utmost respect.
Tagawa Shogo got out first to open the rear door and stood by.
After Yuki Yurika got out, she also bowed and gestured for him to enter.
“Lin Chuan-sama, it's ready. Please get out of the car.”
Lin Chuan-sama was stumped.
Really, he was completely stumped.
Was this situation really not from some harem anime? Or a cheesy domineering CEO drama?
Why would such things happen in reality?
Are Dongyang Beast Masters just this pampered?
In the Star Rock Federation, everyone can become a Beast Master and can contract spiritual beasts.
To truly stand out, one must become a Professional Beastmaster.
But even becoming a Professional Beastmaster, in the Star Rock Federation, one is only slightly revered and respected, and does not possess such exaggerated social welfare privileges.
But the situation is completely different in the Dongyang Alliance.
Here, the Beast Master is a profession completely controlled by the Ten Families.
As long as one becomes a Beast Master, regardless of their Beast Master level, regardless of how many spiritual beasts they have contracted, regardless of whether their spiritual beasts are strong or not, they are truly a person above others.
Butlers, maid corps, private estates, luxury cars—these are the basic welfare provisions for Dongyang Beast Masters!
At this moment, Lin Chuan-sama could already imagine.
Probably many Beast Masters who travel from the Three Great Nations will be captivated by this dazzling world, by this wealth and beauty, and by these maid corps of various styles but equally beautiful and charming, and then betray their country and immigrate, settling down in the Dongyang Alliance to enjoy a luxurious life.
At this moment, Lin Chuan-sama understood the latter half of Du Feiyang's unfinished sentence when his call suddenly cut off earlier.
In such a situation.
Indeed, very few people can resist the temptation.
However, Lin Chuan-sama happened to be one of those few who could resist the temptation.
Could mere human women be as captivating as his spiritual beasts?
What wealth, beauty, or power could be more tempting than raising one's Beast Master level, truly stepping into the extraordinary, extending one's lifespan, turning the illusory into reality, and dreams into truth?
Lin Chuan-sama instantly stabilized his mindset.
After getting out of the car, Lin Chuan-sama, with an unperturbed heart, followed behind Yuki Yurika, passing by the bowing maids without looking sideways, and entered this luxurious private courtyard.
“Lin Chuan-sama, would you like to dine?”
“What kind of food do you prefer? Star Rock Federation cuisine, or would you like to try Dongyang's special delicacies, or perhaps flavors from other countries? We can provide them all for you here.”
“Lin Chuan-sama, you must be very tired from your long journey and flight, right?”
“Do you need to bathe and change? We have already prepared a warm water pool and bathing services for you.”
“Lin Chuan-sama, do your contracted spiritual beasts need our help with feeding and care?”
Although she spoke a lot, Yuki Yurika's voice was very clear and pleasant, filled with a sincere and humble intention that made people not feel annoyed at all, even wanting to hear her speak more.
In response, Lin Chuan-sama pondered for a moment, not completely refusing, but selectively accepting the benefits.
“Let's shower first, then eat.”
“Bathing and changing, but no need for the pool. There should be a private bathroom, right? No need for bathing services, I can wash myself.”
“Prepare half Star Rock Federation food and half Dongyang's special delicacies for me. Not too much, a single serving is fine; it would be a waste if I can't finish it.”
“Help take care of the spiritual beasts?”
“Hmm, I have one spiritual beast that's a bit large, so I do need your help with brushing and washing her.”
White Snow possesses master-level Dust Cleansing, allowing her to self-clean.
However, self-cleaning and having someone brush and wash her are two different experiences; the former is just becoming clean, like changing clothes, while the latter can be considered a wonderful spa treatment.
It happened to be the front courtyard, which was spacious, so Lin Chuan-sama released White Snow.
As soon as she emerged, facing the unfamiliar environment, White Snow instantly became alert to her surroundings, subtly embracing Lin Chuan-sama.
She looked around and found no enemies, only a few very attractive and cute human girls. Moreover, White Snow detected no threat, not even a tiny bit, from these humans. Thus, White Snow slightly relaxed her guard.
White Snow's large eyes, which had been cautiously alert, returned to their pure, innocent, and adorable state, curiously looking around.
Yuki Yurika, and the other maids who happened to be there.
Seeing the 7-meter-tall White Snow released by Lin Chuan-sama, they were first startled, instinctively shrinking their necks and flinching.
Then, their eyes all lit up as they gazed at White Snow and Lin Chuan-sama.
A dragon, such a handsome, beautiful White Dragon!
The maids clearly did not possess much Beast Master knowledge.
They couldn't distinguish between a True Dragon and a sub-dragon, especially a sub-dragon like White Snow, whose form and appearance were almost perfect.
In the current understanding of these maids.
Lin Chuan-sama was a Beast Master who controlled a dragon!
This was a Dragon Master-sama, even more noble and powerful than an ordinary Beast Master-sama!
Is this the distinguished guest that Katori-sama specifically instructed us to welcome with utmost care?
Indeed, he is a young prodigy from the Three Great Nations of humanity.
Yuki Yurika understood a little more than the other maids; she sighed with emotion in her heart.
At the same time, Yuki Yurika's attitude towards Lin Chuan-sama became even more respectful, more dedicated, and even more, daring not to offend or overstep.
Yuki Yurika secretly gave the other maids beside her a stern look, warning them not to flaunt themselves in front of this young prodigy as they would with ordinary Beast Master-sama, and to absolutely, absolutely not be rude, otherwise, there would definitely be severe consequences.
The maids who received the stern look quickly lowered their heads, too respectful to look around anymore.
Strictly following Lin Chuan-sama's requests, Yuki Yurika gave orders to the surrounding maids and assigned tasks.
Some were sent to prepare food.
Some were arranged to wash and brush White Snow, with a special reminder to use the best cleaning tools and that the brushes must be soft.
Finally, she personally led Lin Chuan-sama to the private bathroom.
Lin Chuan-sama was bathing inside.
Yuki Yurika stood respectfully at the corner of the corridor, about ten meters from the bathroom door, with her back to the bathroom, hands clasped over her abdomen, standing elegantly and gracefully, like a perfect stone statue of art.
In this way, she neither disturbed Lin Chuan-sama's bathing nor was she unable to respond to his commands at any time, allowing her to quickly respond to Lin Chuan-sama and provide any service he might need.
Any service!
...
Inside the bathroom.
Lin Chuan-sama took a quick shower, then soaked in the bathtub.
At this moment, Lin Chuan-sama was filled with emotion.
Traveling and exploring, in just this short half-day, he had encountered situations he had never imagined before.
Regarding the Dongyang Alliance, Lin Chuan-sama felt he had caught a glimpse of its iceberg tip.
This is a paradise for Beast Masters.
Beast Masters here can enjoy perfect service as people above others; this is undoubtedly a super-privileged class, something almost unimaginable in the Star Rock Federation. Even Professional Beastmasters, while perhaps having a higher social status, would find such enjoyment virtually impossible.
At the same time, this is also a hell for Beast Masters.
Any Beast Master who stays here for too long will eventually have their will corrupted.
Even Lin Chuan-sama, he couldn't guarantee.
If he were to stay in such an environment for a year or half a year, enjoying the exquisite services of a butler and maid corps every day.
When he returned to the Star Rock Federation, would he still be able to adapt to the ordinary, mundane life there? Would he still be able to study intensely as before, persistently cultivate spiritual beasts, and constantly push himself to improve and progress?
Perhaps, possibly, probably…
For a moment, Lin Chuan-sama was silent.
