Chapter 59 Beast Pet



In the flying boat in the sky of the Moonlight Kingdom, Maximus finished choosing a beast pet for Lily.

He then decided to choose beast pet for Max and Nathan next.

Max, being an adventurous and lively brat, he chose.

[Golden Monkey Cub: a cub of a tier 6 Golden Monkey. It was a free-spirited adventurer with an indomitable spirit. It has a hint of tier 9 golden chaos monkey bloodline. Price 2 billion.]

For Nathan, who was always silent and cold, Maximus chose.

[Midnight Panther Cub: a cub of a tier 6 Midnight Panther. It was a naturally born assassin. Born in the shadow realm. It has a hint of tier 9 Voidstalker bloodline. Price 2.5 billion.]

As for Lyla, another lively girl, Maximus chose

[Silverwing Eagle Cub: a cub of a tier 6 Silverwing Eagle. It had lived at the highest peak of the mountain and was once one of the pets of the silver angels. It had a hint of tier 9 Stormwind Eagle and tier 9 Skyfire Eagle Bloodline. Price 3.5 billion.]

For Lydia, Maximus chose a gentle beast-type pet.

[6-tailed Fox Cub: a cub born from a tier 6 6-tailed fox. It was considered one of the most beautiful creature in the animal kingdom, with a hint of tier 9 nine-tailed fox bloodline. Price 2.5 billion.]

After buying all the beast pets, Maximus also purchased a beast ring.

Maximus turned his attention to Sam and Luke.

He decided not to give them beast pets for now, as they were too young and unable to take care of themselves.

Instead, he chose some gadgets for them to play with.

[Balanced Haste Shoes (tier 1): a mechanical device powered by a magic crystal. It could hover a few inches off the ground, providing fast maneuverability. It could balance in the air no matter what you did and had a protective shield in case of bumps.]

Having bought everything for his children, he then thought about what to give to his wives.

Unable to decide, he just chose different types of clothes and jewelry that boosted meditation and training.

...

Once he finished his selection, he turned to his family.

"Do you want to get down?" They had been flying for half an hour, so he asked.

"YES!" Liam, Nathan, Lily, and Lydia exclaimed.

"NO!" Lyla and Max replied.

Sam and Luke were already asleep in their mother's arms.

Looking at his wives, who also wanted to get down, he said to them, "Alright, the majority voted, let's go home."

"NO..." Layla and Max looked dismayed.

"Oh, don't you want to see your gifts?" Maximus joked.

It seemed like they had forgotten about their gifts after playing.

"We want to!" Lyla and Max said in unison and then looked at each other.

They had been in unison three times in a row now.

Although they were one year apart, they couldn't help but wonder.

"Then let's go," Maximus said as he operated the boat at maximum speed, heading towards the castle.

After landing for a while, he led them to the back garden of the castle, as it had a large space and nice air.

...

In the back garden, Maximus jokingly asked, "Who's first?"

"ME!"

"Me!"

"ME!"

"Alright, alright, let's start with the oldest sister, Lily," Maximus smiled at their chatter.

Lily excitedly came to him, waiting to see what gift their father had for them.

"Here you go, sweetie," Maximus smiled and handed her a pure white snake with a hint of darkness and a crimson aura.

Lily carefully held the snake in her hand.

"Cute," Lily unconsciously muttered.

Although the snake was scary, it somehow looked beautiful and cute to Lily, who just stared at them lovingly.

Even Lydia, who was scared of worms, was attracted to it.

"Do you like it, Lily?" Maximus asked with a smile.

"Yes, Dad, it's the best gift for me," Lily shyly said.

Maximus lovingly patted her head.

"Next, the oldest brother, Liam, come here," Maximus called.

Liam hurriedly came to him.

"This is your pet lion," Maximus explained as he gave Liam a lion the size of an adult cat.

"Wow," Liam petted the little lion, and the lion licked his hand, startling him.

"Is that a cat?!" Max shouted.

"Can I pet it?" Max knew what a cat was, but the castle didn't have them, so he eagerly asked his brother if he could pet it.

"It's not a cat; it's a baby lion, according to Father," Liam turned his head back to his little brother as he hugged the lion for himself.

"Humph, stingy!" Seeing his brother, Liam, not allowing him to pet the cat, Max just harrumphed.

"Alright, enough of that. Next is Max," Maximus shifted their attention.

"Where is mine?" Max ran up to him and shook him.

"Here, a golden monkey for a golden boy," Maximus joked a little as he handed Max a golden monkey who was very energetic, even though it was only a cub.

The monkey, seeing that Maximus was handing it to a kid, jumped onto Max's head as if declaring himself as Max's master.

"Come here," Max was very happy with the monkey, but as he saw it on his head, he grabbed the back of the monkey's skin and hugged it, just like Liam hugged his lion.

The monkey was forcibly pulled and became angry, struggling in Max's hands.

"HAHAHA," but Max just laughed it off, thinking that the monkey was playing with him.

"Be gentle, Max. You could hurt it," Maximus reminded his child.

"Alright, Daddy!" Max said as he placed the monkey on his shoulder.

But the monkey was stubborn and once again climbed up to Max's head.

Amused, Max put the monkey on his shoulder again, causing giggles from him.

"Childish," Lily said as she petted the snake in her hands.

"Next is Nathan," Max reminded.

"Here!" Nathan nervously said as he awaited what pet his father would give him.

Maximus took out a pitch-black panther with blue emerald eyes.

Nathan silently accepted the pet, seemingly satisfied with what he got.

The panther was the size of a little cat, just like his brother Liam's.

Although a little smaller, but Nathan liked what he got more, as it was quiet and silently lay in his arms.

If you didn't see its eyes, you would think that it was just a shadow, as the panther's fur absorbed all the light.

"Next is Lyla," Maximus said, moving on to his next child.

"I'm here!" Lyla ran up to him and hugged his legs.

"This is for you, Lyla," Maximus took out a silver eagle.

The eagle looked like a chick when it first saw Lyla.

It tried to flap its wings but to no avail.

Although it couldn't fly, the silver eagle's feathers were complete, unlike a newborn bird without feathers.

The eagle's silver feathers shimmered in the sun, capturing Lyla's attention.

Seeing that the bird couldn't fly on its own, Lyla gently brought the eagle to her hand.

"I'll be your friend from now on." Lyla patted the eagle's head and whispered.

The eagle seemingly understood her meaning and chirped twice in agreement.

"Thank you, Daddy," Lyla smiled and kissed Maximus on the cheek.

Maximus smiled back and patted her head.

"Next is Lydia."

Lydia approached Maximus silently as if awaiting her final verdict.

"This is for you, Lydia," Maximus patted Lydia's head.

It was a white fox with six tails.

Lydia took the fox from his hand and hugged it with a cute smile.

This was the most beautiful thing she had seen in her life.

The other two girls also noticed how beautiful the fox was and briefly considered exchanging their pets for a moment.

However, upon seeing their pets looking at them with their adorable eyes, they quickly changed their minds.

Although both girls admitted that the fox was more beautiful than their pets, they didn't yield as they believed the ones they had were more powerful.

Lydia, on the other hand, didn't see this comparison, as she focused on petting the fox.

"Next, Sam and Luke," Maximus said, looking at the two little ones.

"Here, here," the two stuttered, following the words their brothers and sister had said when their father called their names.

The two nearly stumbled as they hurriedly walked toward him.

Maximus was patient, waiting for them to approach.

"This is for you," he took out a pair of shoes.

Sam and Luke felt disappointed for a moment, as they also wanted pets.

But upon seeing their father's sincere eyes, they didn't know what to say, as their vocabulary was limited.

Seeing his son's disappointment, Maximus smiled and helped them put on the shoes.

The mechanical shoes automatically adjusted and fit perfectly.

After ensuring they were wearing the shoes, Maximus inserted a mid-grade magic stone to provide power for a long time.

"Now, move," Maximus encouraged them.

As they tried to move, the mechanical shoes were activated, propelling them in a straight line toward a tree in an instant.

Fortunately, there was a protective barrier, so they were safe.

Maximus also broke into a sweat.

Sam and Luke, on the other hand, looked a little pale, but excitement was evident in their eyes.

Normally, walking is tedious and hard, but with these shoes, they could move as if they were flying.

After getting the hang of it for a while, the two raced in circles, giggling with happiness.

"Daddy, I also want that," Max approached him, seeing his little brothers racing at high speeds, which made his blood boil.

"No, you already have yours. Do you want to exchange it with theirs?" Maximus denied his request.

He couldn't spoil his children too much, as it would lead to them becoming spoiled brats.

Max thought about his father's suggestion and looked at the monkey that had already settled on his shoulders.

The monkey, as if understanding looked at Max with pitiful eyes.

Max struggled for a moment and finally gave up.
