Beastmaster of the Ages

Soon, Zi Zhen became a bit annoyed and said, ”I’m talking to you nicely. You really think I’m easy to bully, huh?”

”No need to be like this. You’ll find out if I’m messing with you if you let me try,” Tianming said.

”Are you trying to take advantage of me?” Zi Zhen grit her teeth.

”What a joke, do you have any valuables on you?” Tianming asked with a smile.

”Your chicken says you’re a pervert,” Zi Zhen warned.

Tianming wanted to strangle Ying Huo again. ”Have some self-confidence, if I take advantage of you, you can kill me,” Tianming said.

Seeing that he seemed sincere, and considering his previous help against the antiquiteans, Zi Zhen felt a wave of goodwill. More importantly, he was indeed quite handsome. That seemed to be enough.

So she gently reached out. Her slender fingers ended with sharp claws like sword edges. She also had a pair of sharp canines in her mouth. Her eyes stared at Tianming, making her look fierce. ”Come on!” she said.

”Then I won’t hold back!” Tianming rubbed his hands.

”What did you say?” Zi Zhen was surprised.

”Ah, misspoke.”

Fortunately, Zi Zhen didn’t ask him to leave again. That actually indicated that, tortured by xeno fatigue for so long, she fought for even the slightest ray of hope.

”Do you have any medicine that can help me alleviate it? The degree of my xeno fatigue is unparalleled, and ordinary medicines are useless,” Zi Zhen said.

”Medicine? I don’t have that kind of money. I was extorted for two million soulstones by the guards at the entrance.... I myself am the best medicine,” Tianming said.

”That sounds quite perverted,” Zi Zhen said.

”Lean your head over,” Tianming said.

Zi Zhen kept her hands up, vigilantly and sensitively watching him like an angry stray cat. However, under his infectious smile, she slightly leaned forward, getting closer to him.

Tianming then extended the middle finger of his black arm. On Zi Zhen’s forehead was a curse vortex formed by the xeno fatigue. He quickly tapped the smooth forehead under her messy hair.

”Ah...” Zi Zhen lightly hummed, subconsciously retreating. However, in that instant of the curse vortex’s fluctuation, she paused and instinctively moved closer again.

”That’s right, don’t resist,” Tianming encouraged.

”Unbutton your collar and go into his embrace—it works better.” A chicken head popped up again.

Tianming was infuriated.

Fortunately, Zi Zhen had already noticed the traces of the curse vortex dissipating. Under that temptation, no one suffering from xeno fatigue could resist.

Her xeno fatigue didn’t seem very strong, but it wasn’t the same newly acquired state as Mister Gu. On the contrary, she was more sick than Auntie Hua had been, at least ten times worse. The torment she endured was also several times more.

Tianming could understand her. This thing was like Lifesbane on steroids. Lifesbane was nothing in any nova source world, where anyone could break the curse. But it was frightening on the Flameyellow Continent.

Tenth-grade xeno fatigue! As soon as Tianming touched her, he felt that her body was like an ocean of curses. Xeno fatigue affected every astron, leaving no place untouched and filling every moment with torment.

But she could still fight and protect herself. How strong was her willpower? Someone young and vigorous like Qi Xuan could only hide and not go out after being tortured by first-grade xeno fatigue.

”Hoo!” He took a deep breath and, using the hexagonal hole of the Order Relic, absorbed the curse vortex on her forehead bit by bit, sending it into the bottomless hole!

”So much.” It was just one curse vortex, but the accumulated power of xeno fatigue was much more than Qi Xuan’s.

Tianming, busy dealing with that curse vortex, looked down and found Zi Zhen’s eyes red. Her hands had long loosened, her delicate body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with tears. Two crystal-clear teardrops fell down her cheeks and fell down.

”Why are you crying?” Tianming said softly.

”I’m not.” Zi Zhen quickly wiped it away. Her gaze toward Tianming had changed. ”You’re amazing.”

”Uh oh.” Ying Huo emerged again, shocked. ”Miss, don’t fall for it, it’s all his trick!”

”Pfft.” Zi Zhen laughed for the first time, then said, ”Your birdie... is really cute.”

”Yes, many people say that. Most of them want to touch it after saying so,” Ying Huo rolled its eyes.

”Die!” Tianming grabbed it with his other hand and threw it at the distant underground lake, creating dozens of water splashes as the perverted bird skipped across the surface.

”Ahem... sorry, I didn’t raise it well,” he said.

”It’s okay,” Zi Zhen said.

She was indeed introverted. If it were Auntie Hua or her daughter, they would have been jumping around and exclaiming about the miracle. The Qi family had also knelt down.

Like that, Tianming cleared the first curse vortex on her, and it was clear from her expression that she seemed to have sensed an unprecedented dawn. ”How do you feel?”

”I haven’t felt this comfortable in years,” Zi Zhen said with a slight daze. Perhaps she thought she was dreaming, so her expression seemed a bit dreamy. After a short while, she probably realized what was happening. Her lips slightly opened and her heart was in turmoil, but she couldn’t say anything. She could only slowly kneel down.

Tianming held her arms and said, ”No need to kneel, turn around.”

”Turn, turn around?” Zi Zhen blushed a little, then her body stiffened as she turned backward. Lips trembling, she said, ”I, I have no experience, maybe... maybe...”

”What experience? Didn’t we just do it?” Tianming rolled his eyes, straightforwardly extending his finger again and tapping her back, which had another curse vortex.

”Oh... it’s that.” Her tense body finally relaxed. Perhaps realizing she had misunderstood his intentions, she wished she could slap herself twice or dig a hole in the ground and bury herself, then put the tombstone of Old Man Voidback directly on her head. Fortunately, Tianming seemed not to have noticed.

”With just a regular attack, you tricked her into using her ultimate move,” Ying Huo approached Tianming’s ear and said.

”But I just used my ultimate move!” Tianming grit his teeth.

Soon, he had helped Zi Zhen deal with the second curse vortex. Even though she still had eight more, from her expression, it seemed like she’d already sensed an unprecedented dawn.

Tianming certainly understood the significance of clearing xeno fatigue for the patient. Naturally, she was grateful to him. Even his ultimate move was forced out; how could she not be?
