SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 99: Heavenly beast Gathering

As the evening sun cast its golden glow over Golden Bamboo City, the bustling streets teemed with activity as citizens from far and wide gathered for the much-anticipated Heavenly Beast Gathering hosted by the esteemed Chen family.

Along the grand decorations, a long queue of pets and their owners snaked its way towards the Chen estate, each adorned in their finest attire for the occasion.

Among the throngs, Kent and Lucy stood patiently in line, their pets by their sides. Lucy clutched the invitation card tightly in her hand.

Flying is strictly prohibited within the city limits during the gathering, so even the luxurious pets and power houses of the city were lined up obediently along with all guests.

The line stretched for a mile, with a vibrant display of colors and unique decorations adorning the rare and exotic pets in attendance. It resembled a grand fashion show, with each creature vying for attention and admiration.

Kent, who never expected much about pet decorations, felt surprised when he observed all the pets lined up before him. Butterflies, hornets, honeybees, rare exotic animals, nine-tailed foxes, pegasus, griffins, he almost witnessed every rare type of beast among the crowd.

Earlier in the day, Lucy had dragged Kent away on a shopping spree through the capital city, indulging in lavish purchases and outfitting themselves in brand new attire.

Instead of trimming his long, grown hair, Kent opted for a golden ribbon to tie them back, adopting a scholarly look that complemented his elegant looks.

Together, they had spared no expense, spending over 3000 gold coins on their shopping spree, buying all types of things in preparation to start a new life.

*At present Kent's pegasus bracelet contain all their shopping items, including 70 sets of luxurious clothes of Lucy, who bought without battling an eye lid.

As they finally reached the entrance to the Chen estate, the gatekeeper scrutinised their invitation card before granting them passage. Beyond the gates, a vast open field awaited, surrounded by flashing stalls with colourful sign boards.

All of them were related to pet appraisals and services offered by skilled craftsmen. But everyone is waiting for the announcement by the Chen family to start the event.

At the far end of the field, a raised platform beckoned, where the Chen family would soon address the gathered crowd and announce the commencement of the Heavenly Beast Gathering.

While Lucy was trying to speak with people who knew her from her business circle, Kent followed her silently.

Lucy, who has been observing the mature lady's behavior since the beginning, glared seriously at her.

Just as she tried to drag Kent away, the patriarch of the Chen family adorned the raised platform. A young man with long, red hair followed him onto the stage. -exclusive-content

"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, welcome to the annual Heavenly Beast Gathering hosted by the Chen family. Tonight marks a special occasion as we celebrate not only the beauty of our beloved pets but also the birthday of my dear son, Zi Chen. I extend my warmest wishes to him for a joyous year ahead."

The patriarch held the hand of his son and raised it into the air with a triumphant smile.

"Kent, that Zi Chen is the number one disciple of the Eternal Sun sect. He is also the personal disciple of a grand-elder who is in charge of Burning Sun Peak." Lucy explained to Kent while pointing her finger at the young man with long red hair.

The patriarch's speech continued to sound loudly around the large open ground as she spoke through his wand.

"As we gather here amidst the splendor of Golden Bamboo City, I invite you to immerse yourselves in the world of pets. My family also gathered the best craftsmen from the corners of this planet to open your eyes wide with their skills.

Throughout the evening, you will have the opportunity to witness the talents of the finest pet decorators and craftsmen, whose stalls surround us. I encourage you to explore their offerings and adorn your pets with the finest finery available.

As the patriarchal speech continued in the background, a group of Chen family servants were passing behind Kent, almost touching his shoulders. Each of them were carrying a large wooden basket, covered with black cloth. Most of the onlookers ignored it, as the servants wore Chen family uniform.

But Kent heard the sound of a lady crying in one of the wooden baskets. Even though he is not a busybody who places fingers in other people's business, Kent decided to see what's inside those baskets.

"Lucy, I will be back soon. Take care of my pet until then." Kent whispered in Lucy's ear.

"Where are you going?" Lucy turned back with a questioning look. But Kent had already disappeared into the crowd.
