The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Holy shit!” Su Changfeng couldn’t hold back and roared, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Wang Junyi’s mouth twitched, his face full of confusion. He had been looking forward to seeing what kind of terrifying trump card his master had, but clearly he’d been thinking too much. The moment he saw that little thing’s size, he shouldn’t have kept any expectations at all.

”Master, this... it...” Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng with a complicated expression. He opened his mouth several times wanting to say something, but couldn’t find any suitable words.

Su Changfeng gave a dry laugh, cursing in his heart. What the hell is this! Back in the Infinite Cave this little guy was really awesome, so how did it become so useless after coming to the Tianyuan Continent?

Could it be that Wang Junyi was wrong, or he himself guessed wrong, and this little guy isn’t a White Jade Python at all? Otherwise, how could a Nine-star Beast not be able to deal with a Seven-star Beast?

Or maybe this little guy hasn’t grown up yet, so it doesn’t have the strength of a Nine-star Beast for now?

Thinking of this possibility, cold sweat almost broke out all over Su Changfeng.

Now he was really dumbfounded. With his current body, it was absolutely impossible for him to personally deal with the Blood Lion. If the White Jade Python really couldn’t beat the Blood Lion, the few of them were probably really done for.

”Don’t panic.” Su Changfeng glanced at Wang Junyi and spoke to comfort him. Even though he himself didn’t have much confidence in his heart, it didn’t show on his face. Seeing Su Changfeng looking so shocked, Wang Junyi secretly let out a breath.

At this time, the Blood Lion raised its paw again, trying to stomp the Little White Snake to death like before. But in the next second, the Blood Lion’s movement suddenly froze. The Exotic Beast’s instincts made it sense danger on a primal level. It couldn’t help but scan its surroundings, as if it were guarding against something hidden.

For an instant, Su Changfeng even saw a flash of fear in the Blood Lion’s eyes. It was clearly scared.

It let out a thunderous roar, as if trying to steel its own courage, and also as if provoking its hidden opponent.

The lion’s roar swept across the entire Yuanqi Mountain Range. The people on the outer perimeter were all startled; many had already made up their minds to leave, afraid that if the Blood Lion suddenly charged out to the outer circle, they wouldn’t even be able to run.

Everyone left in a hurry, but a lone figure stood stiffly at the entrance to the Inner Circle—it was Shen Yunlong.

He naturally knew that Shen Rushuang had entered the Inner Circle, and he also knew Shen Rushuang’s plan—he knew she intended to use this chance to kill Su Changfeng.

But he hadn’t expected the Seven-star Blood Lion that originally resided in the central region to show up here. If Shen Rushuang encountered the Blood Lion, she would definitely never make it out alive. How could he not worry?

All these years, the siblings had supported each other growing up. No matter big or small, Shen Yunlong would always protect Shen Rushuang and stand up for her. But this time, he was stuck at the entrance of the Inner Circle, not daring to take even one step further in.

He was indeed very worried about his sister’s situation, but Shen Yunlong also understood in his heart that once Shen Rushuang ran into the Blood Lion, even if he rushed over, he would have no way of saving her. It would only mean one more person dying for nothing, and nothing would change.

”Shen Yunlong, what’s wrong with you? Hurry up and go back. Didn’t you hear that commotion just now? If the Blood Lion comes out, we won’t be able to leave even if we want to.” At this moment, someone shouted at Shen Yunlong. Judging by the tone, their relationship was usually pretty good—at a time like this, he was still thinking to remind Shen Yunlong.

”Rushuang is still inside.” Shen Yunlong said expressionlessly.

”Don’t be stupid. There’s a Blood Lion in there. How could she possibly come out?” the other party said anxiously.

Shen Yunlong understood how terrifying the Blood Lion was, but to just let the little sister he’d doted on since childhood die in there—he really couldn’t accept it.

”Just go back. You can’t save her. Even if you go in, you’ll just die for nothing. What’s the point!” the other person advised again.

Shen Yunlong clenched his fists and said hoarsely, ”Su Changfeng, if it weren’t for you, my sister wouldn’t have ended up like this. When I get back, I will definitely mobilize the Shen Family’s resources to investigate you with everything we’ve got. Anyone and anything connected to you—I won’t let any of them go!”

When he finished, Shen Yunlong still turned around and left. Faced with a Seven-star Beast whose strength could completely crush him, even if he wanted to save his sister, there was nothing he could do. ”Why would she suddenly go to the Inner Circle? If I remember correctly, she’s only at First Rank, right?” The man looked at Shen Yunlong with a puzzled expression. He had never understood why Shen Rushuang would go to the Inner Circle. With her strength, wasn’t that just courting death?

Shen Yunlong had already come to hate Su Changfeng in his heart. Now, after hearing those words, he wished he could flay Su Changfeng alive and strip his bones to vent the hatred in his chest.

”It’s nothing.” Shen Yunlong didn’t answer, only replied faintly.

At this moment, inside the Inner Circle of the Yuanqi Mountain Range.

The suddenly enraged Blood Lion was still searching for the danger it had sensed, completely ignoring the Little White Snake under its paws, which was currently growing at a rapid speed.

But Wang Junyi could see clearly. His heart thumped wildly. As the Little White Snake mutated, its appearance gradually became familiar, slowly overlapping with a certain image in his mind.

Wang Junyi had seen that painting before—the painting that recorded Exotic Beasts. Written on it was: Nine-star Beast—White Jade Python!

The White Jade Python he had only ever heard of in legends—looking across the entire Tianyuan Continent, Wang Junyi only knew that Xingluo’s Emperor had once tamed such an Exotic Beast. But even back then, the Emperor had joined forces with many Eighth Rank, Ninth Grade, and even Primordial Masters to finally capture it.

”M-my... my master is... is a Beast Tamer, and it’s the strongest White Jade Python among the Nine-star Beasts.” As he spoke, Wang Junyi stuttered, his legs going weak as he almost fell down. He was truly shocked by the scene in front of him.

He had always thought Su Changfeng should be a Primordial Master, but that had only ever been his guess. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he never had such a strong feeling.

But at this moment, with the appearance of the Nine-star Beast White Jade Python, it undoubtedly proved that Su Changfeng’s strength was exactly as he had guessed. How could he not be excited?

A Primordial Master!

His master had actually turned out to be, just as he’d guessed, a Primordial Master. And he, as the disciple of a Primordial Master—what could he possibly not obtain in the future? This was practically a giant meat pie falling from the heavens!

Looking across the Tianyuan Continent, how many people had the fortune to take a Primordial Master as their teacher? Wang Junyi felt like his whole body was about to float.

Su Changfeng had never seen the White Jade Python’s full size either, so seeing it now, he couldn’t help but be a little shocked as well.

The White Jade Python before his eyes was no longer that tiny little guy, but a massive creature as thick as a barrel and an unknown length long. The key point was that it was still growing, with no intention of stopping at all.

”Damn, just how big is this thing?” Su Changfeng couldn’t help but mutter. These days, the little guy had been hiding up his sleeve, and Su Changfeng had never in his wildest dreams imagined that its true form would be this ridiculously huge.
