Speculation?
Bai Ye held no illusions of luck. Lydia continued speaking, about the existence of Demon Emperors. Despite her feigned nonchalance, her unease was evident…
However, Lydia's subsequent words did offer Bai Ye's somewhat stifled heart a measure of relief.
“Master~ I also made a rather useful research discovery these past few years!”
Lydia tilted her head, three parts dragon and seven parts snake, looking expectantly at the small blue bottle in Bai Ye’s hand.
(￣︶￣) I've already told you so many secrets, isn't it time for a little reward?
Seeing its expectant expression, Bai Ye chuckled inwardly, then, without changing his expression, handed it one of the two mana potions in his hand.
(9◕‿◕｡) Thank you, Master~ Master is the most powerful, the best, the mightiest!!!
Lydia, overjoyed, wriggled its body, causing the surrounding lake water to surge. Then, it opened its mouth and impatiently swallowed the potion bottle.
Watching its house-sized maw directly consume a small potion bottle no bigger than a human finger, Bai Ye’s eyes twitched slightly. At least Goudan and the others had to crush the bottle, but this creature skipped even that step.
Was it not afraid of not absorbing the potion inside?
However, the next moment, Lydia shook its body excitedly, its eyes glazed over, even emitting strange, low moans…
Its peculiar behavior indicated it was absorbing the potion’s power!
(？￣￣) Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. He then retrieved an empty bottle from his system space. Some of the potion bottles he had consumed previously had been collected.
(°ー°！) Could it be… this bottle is also a treasure??
Thinking of Goudan, Quany i, and Lydia, all of whom directly ate the bottles, Bai Ye pondered.
Should he try it?
After some thought, Bai Ye put the bottle away. Even if the bottle indeed possessed medicinal effects, they would certainly not be as potent as the potion itself. His reserve of mana potions wasn't abundant, and he could afford to be occasionally extravagant, so there was no need to experiment on himself.
If he were to experiment, he would wait until he returned and tried it on Goudan and the others…
“Roar roar roar ing!!! (So comfortable, so comfortable! Too comfortable!)”
Lydia absorbed the potion quickly, far faster than Goudan and the others. Its recent injuries had already scabbed over, and its excitement remained at a peak…
“Master~ Your treasures are amazing! The Tettus Continent probably doesn't have treasures as powerful as yours!”
“Ahhhh! Just a little bit more! I feel like I’m about to break through! Master~ could you…?”
(⸝⸝◕‿◕⸝⸝)
Lydia’s eyes gleamed with immense desire as it stared at the remaining mana potion in Bai Ye’s hand…
However, Bai Ye’s lips twitched slightly. He always felt this serpent was a bit improper.
He stated firmly, “No!”
The ‘little bit’ this creature spoke of was definitely not solvable by one bottle of mana potion! Even if it truly was one bottle away from breakthrough, he absolutely couldn’t give it another one now.
It wasn’t that he feared it rebelling, but rather that it would become overconfident and seize an opportunity to escape. Not only would he have suffered a loss of two mana potions, but he would also have to come back himself to manage the ranch…
A smart rancher would never make such a foolish decision!
“Master~”
Bai Ye said coldly, “Speak quickly!!”
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Okay!!
Seeing Bai Ye’s stern expression, Lydia dared not play coy any longer.
“These past few years, I’ve noticed that those who can enter through the spatial passage from the Tettus Continent have not reached the Demon King level. So, I suspect this passage has restrictions, and creatures at the Demon King level cannot enter…”
“However, more powerful Calamity-level threats are gradually able to enter. I even ate a big one a while ago!”
Lydia said, a hint of relish in its voice, then continued,
“It’s even possible that some Catastrophe-level creatures have already reached the spatial passage… Therefore, I believe the spatial passage is slowly stabilizing… It should be fully formed in a few years. At that time, Demon Kings will be able to enter and exit freely…”
“Perhaps then we can also go to the other side from here!”
So, I must listen carefully to Master, please him, and obtain his treasures!!
(ง•_•)ง Go, Lydia!
Lydia gradually changed, its plan solidified.
Bai Ye looked at Lydia’s determined and hopeful expression and sighed inwardly. When the passage truly opened, the stronger side would undoubtedly control it tightly.
Clearly, at present, the Tettus Continent, with its Demon Kings and even Demon Emperors, was the dominant party.
At that time, whether the Blue Star side could even enter the passage would be a problem, let alone enter the Tettus Continent…
But fortunately, before that, he could still strive harder. Perhaps by then, he would also be a true Demon King?
With his current combat power far exceeding peers of the same level, if he became a Demon King, his combat power would truly be formidable!
Perhaps then he could expand my ranch to the Tettus Continent???
Bai Ye’s heartbeat suddenly quickened slightly.
According to Lydia, the Tettus Continent also had elves, and they were particularly skilled at cultivating plants, trees, and small animals…

“Master~ What are you smiling about (●＾o＾●)?”
Lydia, seeing Bai Ye’s previously solemn expression suddenly break into a smile, asked with confusion.
“Cough~”
