Grey Wolf's face darkened instantly, his eyes flashing with fury, as if he might bite into a lamb on the spot.He growled through clenched teeth:
"It's all because of that damned Slow Goat and Pleasant Goat!
They invented a cursed device called the Goat Ascension Device (羊羊飞升器).Whenever a goat shows up, the device activates and makes them ascend—straight into Goat Village!It's a complete humiliation!"
His claws were trembling with rage.
The device caused living goats to phase into nothingness and instantly reappear inside Goat Village.There was no force in the Nightmare World that could stop this ascension.
"Do you know the pain of seeing a goat within reach, only for it to vanish before your eyes… like it's being yanked away by fate?"
Yi Tianxing raised a brow.
"What about goat meat?The device affects living goats, but surely dead ones are safe?"
"That's even more hateful!" Grey Wolf shrieked."They made something even worse—called the Stinky Goat Meat Generator (羊肉臭臭机).It causes all goat meat to rot instantly, emitting the most vile stench imaginable!"
"Even I can't eat it!It's unbearable. I swear, I'll never forgive them!"
His face twitched uncontrollably from the sheer hatred.He wanted nothing more than to skin those goats alive—and even that wouldn't ease his fury.
The only goat meat that hadn't spoiled was what Yi Tianxing had given him previously—brought from the Eternal World.That meat was unaffected.He only had a single goat leg left. And he was panicking—what would he do when it ran out?
His wife would beat him.
His son would scorn him.
Yi Tianxing thought quickly:
"So it's likely that the Ascension Device and the Meat Rotter only work on Nightmare World goats. Not on meat brought in from the Eternal World."
If so, then that gave him full leverage.
"Mister Yi, please—you have to help me!My wife and son are starving at home!Your goat meat is the only hope we have!"Grey Wolf grabbed Yi Tianxing's hand, gripping it tightly, as if afraid he'd vanish any second.
Yi Tianxing chuckled and waved a hand, summoning a fresh, steaming plate of goat meat.
"Here, try this. Let's see if anything happens."
The fragrance was rich and mouthwatering.
Grey Wolf's eyes went wide.
"It's goat meat! And it smells delicious—not rotten!As expected, only your goat meat can bypass the goat curse!"
"Honey! We've got goat meat again!!"Grey Wolf howled joyfully toward the sky.
His eyes sparkled. He was already imagining how his wife, Red Wolf, would reward him.
Maybe tonight, they'd even unlock a few "special moves" they hadn't tried in years…
He quickly swept the plate away into storage and looked at Yi Tianxing sheepishly.
Yi Tianxing smiled calmly:
"Getting goat meat isn't a problem.Goats, lamb, lamb chops—name your cut, and I'll get it.Heck, I could let you sleep on a bed made of goat meat if that's your wish."
"But… nothing comes free.If you want meat, you have to trade.So what do you have for me, Grey Wolf?"
Grey Wolf nodded confidently:
"You know I've never shortchanged a customer.Remember the Beastform Robe I gave you last time? Still working fine?"
"This time, I've got even better stuff.I promise—you're gonna love it."
He walked over to a display and pointed at a belt.
"See this belt? Looks fancy, right?But it's not just for looks—it's a Transformation Belt (变身腰带)."
"With it, you can turn into any inanimate object—a table, chair, rock, tree stump—whatever you want.The only limit is you can't transform into living beings.But once transformed, even the sharpest eyes—like Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes—can't see through it."
"It's that good."
Yi Tianxing's brows twitched slightly. This could definitely come in handy at critical moments.
Next, Grey Wolf brought out another gadget:
"Behold: the Spring Shoes (弹簧鞋)!Wear them, think about where you want to go, and jump—BOOM, you'll bounce right there!"
"It's like teleporting, but cooler.Max range per jump: 3,000 li.Want to go 100,000 li away? Just bounce repeatedly until you arrive!"
"It's faster than flying and safer than teleportation!"
Yi Tianxing's eye twitched again.
Grey Wolf was… insane.But also… brilliant.
This was fairy tale logic—and he made it work.
"Oh, and this!" Grey Wolf pulled out a strange-looking bean.
"Obedience Bean (听话蚕豆)—eat it, and you'll become completely obedient.Tell someone to go east—they won't dare go west.Tell them to jump—they'll ask how high."
"Works on any race or species. One bite, and they're yours to command."
Yi Tianxing gave a low whistle.
The items were strange, but each had incredible potential.He glanced through more inventions on display:
Morphing Candy
Inflatable Armor
Invisibility Potion
Soften-the-Heart Spray
Growth Elixir
Each one was unique.
But two caught his true attention:
1. Cloning Machine (克隆机)
"What are its limits?" Yi Tianxing asked.
"Ah, excellent question," Grey Wolf chuckled."It can clone any lifeform—animal or human. The clone will be identical... except it'll have no memories."
"Also… the clone will only live one year.That's a built-in limit, and there's no way to extend it—not even through cultivation."
"This was designed to clone goats.Since they were meant to be eaten, lifespan didn't matter."
2. Rejuvenation Elixir (返老还童药剂)
"One of my greatest works," Grey Wolf said proudly."Drink it, and you'll revert to a newborn baby. Totally helpless, but completely reborn."
"Of course, if someone kills you as a baby, you're really dead.And you only get one use per lifetime—no second chances."
Yi Tianxing's eyes gleamed.
This was a heaven-defying elixir—a second chance at life.A tool like this would be coveted by any ancient powerhouse who had taken the wrong path.
It rivaled Innate Spirit Roots in value.
"Excellent. These inventions are… very useful," Yi Tianxing said with a smile."So, Grey Wolf—what do you want in return? Nightmare Coins? More meat?"
Grey Wolf didn't hesitate:
"MEAT.
What do I want with coins?Just give me lamb!"
His obsession was genuine.
He would trade anything for the taste of sheep.
"Then let's talk price."
Yi Tianxing grinned.
The two quickly finalized the deal.Yi Tianxing acquired many of the inventions, while Grey Wolf walked away with plates upon plates of delicious goat meat, cooked to perfection via Food-Table Magic (美食桌布).
To Yi Tianxing, it was just some meat.
To Grey Wolf, it was a dream come true.
"Grey Wolf—want to come with me?Leave this Fairy Tale Town.I promise you goat meat every day, until you're full and satisfied."
Yi Tianxing offered seriously.
Recruiting Grey Wolf would be worth more than an army.
But—
"No," Grey Wolf said with steely resolve."Until I catch Pleasant Goat, I'll never leave Fairy Tale Town.I will battle them to the end!"
His eyes were firm. His will, unshakable.
