Chapter 524
by fanqienovelChapter 524: Clean Feather Beast King
"Master Ancestor once told me that feeling is very important; it doesn’t have to be someone perfect, just someone suitable for you," Li Chufan said with a hint of shyness, using a playful double meaning.
"Master Ancestor? Are you…?" Wang Chaoyi began to think quickly about the Grand Elder’s several disciples that she had discussed with her friends not long ago.
"I’m the youngest one," Li Chufan confessed.
If anyone in this world could say something to make him believe 100%, it would only be his Master Ancestor.
"You are Elder Ran Tian’s son!" Wang Chaoyi exclaimed.
Li Chufan nodded.
"I’m also considered the one with the worst talent among the Grand Elder’s disciples, so I hope Junior Sister won’t think too poorly of me," Li Chufan scratched his head and said.
"You call this fighting strength the worst…?"
Wang Chaoyi tried to express Li Chufan’s behavior with a single word but couldn’t think of one after a long moment.
"Junior Sister Chaoyi, I wonder if we can team up?" Li Chufan asked nervously.
"Your fighting strength doesn’t need to be teamed with mine at all," Wang Chaoyi replied before using the escape technique to leave.
In her mind, she felt she and the Grand Elder’s disciple were worlds apart.
Li Chufan looked in the direction Wang Chaoyi left, feeling a bit confused.
"What did I say wrong?"
Xu Fan, who was watching, started to laugh.
If this were a scene from a novel or a drama, the cliché between the two should have already begun.
"Should I prompt it a bit?" Xu Fan rubbed his chin, then shook his head.
"Better to let fate take its course; some things lose flavor when you get involved."
Just as Xu Fan pondered what drama might unfold between them, a light curtain edged in red appeared before him.
"Reporting to the master, a beast king has invaded, should we strike?" Grape’s voice echoed.
"Strike what! Hurry and get Spirit Cut Elder over here," Xu Fan said, looking at the beast king stealthily moving in the light curtain.
"Finding something you’ve searched hard for is like getting it effortlessly!" Xu Fan laughed heartily.
Soon, Spirit Cut appeared beside Xu Fan.
"Grand Elder, there’s a beast king invasion. Should I take action?" Spirit Cut said excitedly.
After researching the nuclear explosion technique for so long, although he hadn’t mastered it yet, he had gained some insights.
"How powerful do you think this beast king is?" Xu Fan asked.
"Average strength. If my grandson gives me the celestial tool, it could be taken down in five or six strikes," Spirit Cut assessed.
"Then Elder Spirit Cut, can you severely injure this beast king? Yuexian has a tool called the Beast Cage that can enslave beasts and the beast race," Xu Fan said.
"Understood, Grand Elder, just watch," Spirit Cut replied before transforming into a flash of blood-red light and flying out of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
"It’s easy to injure it without killing; I haven’t fought for a long time, so I might be a bit rusty," Spirit Cut laughed.
"Wait for Spirit Cut Elder to return victorious!" Xu Fan said with a smile.
He then turned to the light curtain and began to analyze the beast king.
"If I’m not mistaken, this should be a white marten; it would make a great pet for Yuexian," Xu Fan chuckled.
At that moment, the white marten in the light curtain used its life-or-death divine technique to explore an area regarded as forbidden by the nearby beast race.
"They say that in this forbidden area lives a group of terrifying humans, and any beast that enters will face strikes from the sky above."
"Today, I want to test the waters to collect my reward from the Chihuo Scale Beast Clan," the beast king declared.
Transforming into its original form, the beast king darted back and forth in the Lin Sen Fairy City region.
As it approached the fairy city, the beast king stopped, gazed at the distant fairy city, and laughed, "It’s not as scary as the legends say."
"Whether it’s scary or not depends on who you know, right?"
A voice sounded next to the beast king.
A feeling of dread surged in the beast king’s heart, making it feel like a little chick with its neck caught.
The beast king quickly retreated to a spot not far from Spirit Cut, watching him warily.
"Don’t think about running; you’ll die even faster that way," Spirit Cut Elder said, standing firmly in the air.
He hovered with a vast sea of blood behind him, and the red hue in his eyes sent a chill through the beast king.
"My name is Spirit Cut, Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect. Little demon, tell me your name."
Spirit Cut wasn’t in a hurry; he could tell this was just a female marten, so he lost interest in giving her a brutal beating.
He rarely fought with women, and the same went for female beasts.
If he truly needed to fight, he would finish it in a few moves, unlike in the past when he would engage in slaughter.
"I’m the Clean Feather Beast King," the Clean Feather Beast King said, keeping a wary eye on Spirit Cut.
"An alien beast race, is it?" Spirit Cut asked with interest.
"Respected elder, I mean no offense; I’ll take my leave if there’s no trouble," the Clean Feather Beast King said, preparing to use her life-or-death divine technique to escape.
Just as she activated her technique, she instantly sensed five or six killing intents in the sky locking onto her, each one feeling like it could take her life.
"Little demon, since you’ve come, do you still want to leave?" Spirit Cut said with a smile.
"I offer you two choices: First, come back with me to Hidden Spirit Sect; I have good news to share with you.
"Second, I can give you a beating and take you back to Hidden Spirit Sect."
As Spirit Cut spoke, the blood sea behind him began to surge; the Blood Spirit within would occasionally emerge, staring at the Clean Feather Beast King with terrifying eyes, as if wanting to merge with her.
"Little demon, I’m giving you this treatment because you’re female; I hope you understand," Spirit Cut said.
"Now, state your choice," Spirit Cut said lightly as he gazed down at the little demon.
He suddenly felt a pang of emotion, realizing that the Invincible Beast King likely looked at him the same way he did at this little demon.
"I…" the Clean Feather Beast King struggled for words.
She had intended to pull off a small job, but unexpectedly, found herself in this predicament.
"Can I offer a magic treasure to leave?"
The Clean Feather Beast King said as she presented all her belongings, stacking them into a small mountain.
Spirit Cut merely glanced at it.
"Not even a single celestial tool?" Spirit Cut said disdainfully, with a hint of pity in his tone.
"This is all I have; I just recently advanced to beast king and don’t have much," the Clean Feather Beast King lowered her head, feeling quite ashamed.
"Forget it; you might as well come back with me," Spirit Cut said.
Even if she had just advanced, without even one celestial tool, her life would likely be at an end.
"Can I leave? My brothers and sisters are waiting for me to return," the Clean Feather Beast King said pitifully.
"Since coming to the Human Realm, I haven’t harmed a single human, and neither have my brothers and sisters; I’ve even let many go."
"Respected elder, please let me go."
The more she spoke, the more pitiful she seemed.
"Perfect; bring your brothers and sisters along."
"Don’t think I’m trying to harm you; I truly have good news for you," Spirit Cut said firmly.
