Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 426: Chapter 395: The Clown Sent by the Monkeys

The martial woman slowly approached, her eyes scanning the surroundings. A melodious and pleasing voice escaped her lips. ”Trapped for fifteen hundred years, and now I’ve finally shed my cage. So this is the Legendary Level... It’s truly... marvelous beyond description!”

The white-haired woman smiled and took a few steps forward. ”Congratulations, Elder Golden Crow, on reaching the Legendary Level!” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

The martial woman looked at the white-haired woman and said coolly, ”In learning, there is no first or last; the one who has attained is the master. By rights, I should be the one calling you senior.”

The white-haired woman wasn’t presumptuous, her tone remaining calm. ”You were born long before me, Elder. You became a Pet Beast for the Human Race and walked this path before I did. Now, you have finally achieved transcendence. You are more than worthy of the title ’Elder’!”

She herself had only reached the Legendary Level half a year ago. More importantly, she could sense that even though the martial woman had just completed her transformation, her strength was not far behind her own, and might even be superior.

She had reached her current stage by completely realizing all of her innate Talent and Potential. The other woman was different; she could likely advance a great deal further within the Legendary Level.

She had to show respect to a member of the Extraordinary Royal Family who would sooner or later surpass her in strength. Of course, if they were to fight right now, the other woman was probably still no match for her.

After all, she had the buff from a Beast Master, which could elevate her power significantly. That was an advantage the other woman lacked.

The martial woman’s gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Li Qian. ”Speaking of which,” she said, ”I have one person to thank for being able to complete my transformation so smoothly!”

”You’re Li Qian, correct? Tell me, how would you like me to repay you?”

Li Qian waved his hand dismissively and shook his head. ”It was my honor to help you complete your transformation, Elder. Besides, I also gained a great deal from this evolution!”

”I’ve lived for more than eighteen hundred years. Whether it’s a debt of hatred or a debt of gratitude, I remember them all with perfect clarity!”

The martial woman’s voice was indisputable. ”Let’s do this. I don’t have anything on me to give you right now.”

”So, take these three Feathers.”

”If you find yourself in danger, just use your Spiritual Power to communicate with these Feathers. Unless you’re deep within a Dimension Space, I will be able to come to your aid.”

As she spoke, the martial woman extended her hand, and three Feathers materialized in her palm.

The Feathers swayed and floated up, drifting before Li Qian in an instant.

Li Qian didn’t hesitate. He held out his hand, and the Feathers settled naturally into his palm.

As he accepted the three Feathers, he couldn’t suppress a surge of delight.

’With these three Feathers, I have three new life-saving trump cards.’

”Furthermore, I will promise you one more thing. In the future, if you contract a Sunbird and wish for it to complete the final step of its transformation, I can help you find the most crucial component!”

The martial woman’s words sent a shock through Li Qian.

’If a Sunbird reaches Holy Spirit Peak and wants to break through, what’s the most crucial component?’

’Without a doubt, it’s the remnant soul of a Legendary Pet Beast!’

’Only by devouring the remnant soul of a Legendary Pet Beast can a Sunbird fully complete its transformation and ascend to the Legend rank!’

The martial woman’s words were, in effect, a promise.

In the future, she would find the remnant soul of a Legendary Pet Beast for him.

This was no small promise.

Nor could Li Qian refuse it.

Because of Chicken Hair!

’Yes, if I get the chance, I will definitely help Chicken Hair reach the Legendary Level.’

’At that point, I will definitely need the remnant soul of a Legendary Pet Beast.’

So, his expression turned serious. He looked at the martial woman and nodded solemnly. ”Thank you, Elder!”

”You don’t need to thank me. This is just an equivalent exchange.”

”Strictly speaking,” the martial woman said, ”this still isn’t enough to repay the favor!”

Hearing this, Li Qian quickly waved his hands. ”It’s enough, it’s enough! It’s more than enough!”

”The Xiahou Clan...”

The martial woman turned to look at Xiahou Lan. ”Strictly speaking, I have an unbreakable bond with your Xiahou Family. However, my Beast Master has passed on.”

”I cannot stay with the Xiahou Family forever.”

”Of course, I will not forget my duty as your Guardian over these many years.”

The martial woman stated coolly, ”Therefore, I will remain as the Guardian of the Xiahou Family for the next one hundred years. During that time, all the Sunbirds in your clan will receive my guidance.”

The martial woman didn’t elaborate, but her meaning was perfectly clear. After a hundred years, she would almost certainly leave the Xiahou Family.

It was her way of fulfilling the obligations of their contract.

Just as the martial woman was speaking with Xiahou Lan, a streak of golden light flashed past.

”Beautiful Sister Jin Wu, hello! My name is Jin Yingjun, but you can call me Little Jinzi. Might I have the honor of becoming your Guardian Knight?”

Amidst the flashing golden light, a young man with a full head of golden hair, handsome features, and a tall, imposing figure appeared in everyone’s sight.

Right behind him was a scruffy, middle-aged man, followed by two teenagers and two other pale-faced, middle-aged men.

When Li Qian saw them, his face was a mask of utter bewilderment, because he recognized every single one of them.

The scruffy, middle-aged man was none other than the stall owner who had previously sold him the Sunbird and the White Simurgh Wood Carved Handicraft.

As for the two young men trailing behind the stall owner, they were Ferich and Li Kun, who had once fought alongside him.

Although Li Qian didn’t recognize the other two pale, middle-aged men, judging by their builds and demeanor, they were very likely the two guards from before.

’Clearly, they must have been in disguise back then.’

”Little Jinzi, you rascal, can’t you be a little less forward?” the stall owner said, pointing at the blond man in an attempt to reason with him.

”Elder Lu, stay out of it! Pursuing true love is the right of every dragon!” the blond man said, waving his hand dismissively before turning his gaze back to the martial woman.

The martial woman hadn’t yet said a word, but the white-haired woman standing beside her couldn’t stop herself from clenching her fists. ”Jin Yingjun, you’re courting death!”

The blond man, Jin Yingjun, glanced at the white-haired woman with a smug grin. ”Xiaobai, don’t be mad. I know you’ve got a thing for me too...”

”However, everything has to be first come, first served. I’ve already pledged to be this beautiful sister’s Guardian Knight. Of course, if you don’t mind, I could also save a little spot for...”

Before the blond man, Jin Yingjun, could finish speaking, the white-haired woman’s fist had already connected with his face...

The next moment...

With a resounding BANG, the blond man, Jin Yingjun, shot away like a meteor, flying far out of Mo Yuan City.

The crowd watched this unfold, feeling as though it were all a bit surreal.

’What in the world is going on?’

’Wasn’t that reversal a little too abrupt?!’

’One moment, they were marveling at Sister Jin Wu’s power, and the next, some clownish weirdo just pops out of nowhere.’

’Is this guy a professional comedian or something?’

Meanwhile, Wen Zebin, Jiang Xueling, and the others who knew the inside story just scratched their heads in embarrassment, completely at a loss for words.

Wen Zebin seized the opportunity to break the tension. ”Teacher Lu, you’re finally back... Thank you for going to the trouble of rescuing our two important guests...”

As he spoke, he made a point to glance at the two young men behind Teacher Lu.

The two young men just scratched their heads in embarrassment.

This time, they had gotten into some serious trouble. They had tried to lure the snake from its hole, only to nearly be eaten by it themselves.
