Because there’s an Evolution Chamber in the Time Realm.

That’s right, an Evolution Chamber in that sense.

As long as a pet beast’s energy value meets the evolution requirements, even if other conditions aren't met, the pet beast can directly complete its evolution by staying in the Evolution Chamber for a while.

However, Guangguang also said that if the Thunder Demon Bird doesn't evolve by relying on the ghost thunder flower, it might affect its third-stage talent.

In the end, it all came down to money.

Mingxi pinched the bridge of her nose. For now, she could only take things one step at a time. If conditions allowed, she still wanted to get a ghost thunder flower for her Thunder Demon Bird before letting it evolve.

Although she was heavily in debt, her love for her pet beast was absolutely genuine!

No longer overthinking, Mingxi quickly tidied her desk, stood up, stretched, and prepared to wash up and rest.

“Lei.”

The Thunder Demon Bird suddenly cried out.

There was a Transcendent creature outside the window.

Mingxi stopped, turning back to look at the window by her desk.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully for a while, but heard no movement. She couldn't help but look at her pet beast and praise, “Your hearing is really good.”

Her sincere little face was reflected in the Thunder Demon Bird’s fiery, blood-red eyes, and it felt a slight surprise.

She clearly hadn’t heard anything, yet she didn’t doubt that it was lying at all?

This human who had just become its Beast Tamers was truly strange.

“Lei, Leilei?” Aren’t you going to open the window and check the situation?

Mingxi pondered. It was indeed necessary to open the window and look.

Haizhou City, where she lived, was part of the Jianghuai region, which had the strictest regulations on wild Transcendent creatures in the country. Normally, wild Transcendent creatures rarely appeared within the city.

Now that her pet beast said there was a Transcendent creature outside the window, it was highly likely that it had an owner.

A pet beast with an owner should have a low danger level.

Then she would take a look.

She decisively pushed open the window, then her eyes widened in astonishment.

The building where their home was located had a U-shaped structure, and the inner curve of the U was designed to be relatively narrow.

The distance between them was just over three meters.

And her bedroom was precisely in one corner of the U, with the desk window facing the neighbor’s second bedroom.

She saw a silvery-white thread, about the thickness of a pinky finger, connecting her window to the opposite window, like a suspension cable.

And in the center of this thread, there was an insect-type pet beast, about the length of an adult arm, mostly milky white, with two black antennae on its head and three circles of fine green fur around its eyes. It was crawling with difficulty but quickly towards her side.

The sound the Thunder Demon Bird heard must have been the rustling it made while crawling.

The Thunder Demon Bird’s hearing was quite something.

Mingxi’s mind quickly flashed through information about this pet beast.

Deng Gela, a beginner-level insect-type pet beast from the Yulian region, with an evolution limit of General-level. Its combat power was low, but because it possessed the ability of X-ray vision, it was deeply loved by a wide range of breeders. Of course, it also had a following among certain special enthusiasts...

X-ray vision? Could it be that this Deng Gela was sent by its Beast Tamers to spy on her?

Mingxi couldn’t help but think conspiratorially.

After all, X-ray vision was truly perverted. Few women could remain unfazed when encountering such a pet beast.

“Deng Deng! Deng Deng!”

Deng Gela, hanging in mid-air and sweating profusely from its efforts to climb, also noticed the commotion on her side.

Tears welled up in its big, round, cartoon-like eyes.

Mingxi: ...What’s going on?

Was it so excited by her beautiful naked body?

“Lei.” Knowing that her Beast Tamers couldn’t understand, the Thunder Demon Bird thoughtfully took on the role of translator. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“Leilei.” This little bug says its Beast Tamers is in danger and hopes she can help call the police.

Mingxi frowned. In danger?

“Thunder Demon Bird, bring it over first.”

Seeing the suspension thread swaying precariously in the air, looking like it could break at any moment, Mingxi worried that this Deng Gela would fall.

One must remember they were on the ninth floor.

Even if Deng Gela was a Transcendent creature, falling from such a height would be rough.

The Thunder Demon Bird had no objections. It flew out the window and brought the Deng Gela in.

Deng Gela, now safely on the ground, visibly showed a relieved expression.

Mingxi immediately asked, “Who is your Beast Tamers?”

Deng Gela immediately extended its tiny leg and pointed to the opposite side.

Indeed.

Previously, an elderly couple lived in that house, but at the end of last year, they were taken by their son, who had immigrated abroad, to reunite with the family.

Their house was then sold, and the new neighbors just moved in last month.

A family of three, the male head of the household surnamed Zhang.

The one living opposite her now was the Zhang family’s daughter, a high school freshman who smiled very gently and sweetly.

Mingxi frowned, gazing at the room opposite.

The room’s curtains were drawn, and the lights were on inside, but no one’s shadow was visible.

Mingxi pricked up her ears again to listen carefully. This time, she could vaguely hear [N O V E L I G H T] rustling sounds, and also a girl’s muffled groans. Although very faint, she could still barely hear some movement.

She also noticed that the window opposite was not tightly closed; it must have been left open when Deng Gela entered or exited.

Something was indeed wrong!

She looked again at the anxious-faced Deng Gela: “Is there anyone else in your Beast Tamers’s room?”

“Deng!”

“Deng Deng!”

The Thunder Demon Bird translated simultaneously.

“Leilei.”

It said yes, it was its Beast Tamers’s stepfather.

Stepfather.

High school girl and stepfather?

Mingxi immediately thought of many unpleasant tragedies.

The situation was urgent. If they waited for the police to arrive, the girl opposite would probably be beyond help.

“Leilei?”

The Thunder Demon Bird flapped its wings, asking her if she wanted to save someone. Xiao Ye could help.

Mingxi sighed, not having realized that her own pet beast was quite righteous.

“Wait a moment.” Mingxi observed the distance between the opposite side and her side, then asked, “Can you carry me and fly?”

“Lei.” Absolutely no problem.

Mingxi was not surprised.

After all, Transcendent creatures were not like the beasts from her previous life; they were usually powerful. Even though the Thunder Demon Bird’s body wasn’t large, with its wings fully spread being less than two meters, it could actually carry her and fly.

Mingxi no longer dwelled on the issue of abuse or not.

She picked up the agitated Deng Gela and pressed her personal terminal, which had been placed on the desk, against the back of her hand.

The surface of the personal terminal was made of super-metal, allowing it to adhere firmly to the skin.

She dialed the emergency number, and when the call connected, she activated the panoramic mode video call, briefly explaining the situation to the operator on the other end.

Then, without waiting for a response, she nimbly jumped onto the desk. After confirming that the Thunder Demon Bird was ready, she swung herself onto its back.

At first, she was a bit nervous. After all, she had never tried it before, and if something went wrong, she would become a real-life example proving Newton’s law of universal gravitation.

Fortunately, the Thunder Demon Bird was reliable; it indeed carried her steadily into the air.

One person and two beasts quickly flew to the window opposite. Mingxi gently and quietly pulled open the window.
