Chapter 266, The Adorable Pet

Translator: Silavin

Qin Yichen glanced sideways, his pupils contracting involuntarily as he saw Little Ling’er reaching out her hand to pet the Beast King.

After all, the Beast King’s eyes were blood-red, with murderous energy faintly emanating from its body. Seeing someone trying to pet it, it immediately opened its bloody maw.

If not for Xiao Bai standing beside Little Ling’er, it would have already bitten her.

The intelligent Beast King knew this little girl seemed to have a deep connection with Xiao Bai, so it had not acted immediately. However, if she did not show some sense of propriety, it would not be responsible for the consequences.

“Ling’er, don’t touch it!” Seeing this, Qin Yichen hurriedly reached out to stop her, but his movement was ultimately a bit too slow. If others knew this creature was the Sky Reaching Behemoth, not just Qin Yichen but Ye Liangchen, Zhao Ritian and others would absolutely have stopped Little Ling’er.

In just an instant, a tiny arm had already landed on the murderous Beast King’s head. The moment Little Ling’er’s arm touched it, the red in its eyes became incredibly intense.

“No!” Qin Yichen shouted, reaching out to pull Little Ling’er away.

However, when Little Ling’er’s small hand landed on the Sky Reaching Behemoth’s head, its body suddenly trembled. Instead of attacking or biting Little Ling’er, it froze in place. Seeing this, Qin Yichen seemed to realize something, his arm also freezing in mid-air.

“What an adorable ‘Kitty’.” Little Ling’er gently patted the Sky Reaching Behemoth’s head. With each pat, the red in its eyes receded a bit. In just two breaths’ of time, the murderous energy around the Sky Reaching Behemoth had completely dissipated, and its eyes returned to their normal colour.

“Daddy, what kind of Demonic Beast is this? It’s so cute…” Little Ling’er asked Qin Yichen while petting the Sky Reaching Behemoth. Before he could answer, she directly grabbed the Sky Reaching Behemoth’s ears and walked into the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.

“Daddy’s the best! You always bring back such cute pets every time you go out, unlike those two stinky Uncles…” Under Qin Yichen’s dazed gaze, Little Ling’er had already disappeared from view with the Sky Reaching Behemoth and Xiao Bai.

“Uh… Qin Yichen, what was that murderous thing?” Zhao Ritian swallowed and could not help asking Qin Yichen. Seeing that creature’s murderous aura and Qin Yichen’s earlier nervousness, it was not hard to guess this Demonic Beast was no simple pet.

Qin Yichen wiped the sweat from his forehead, suddenly remembering the scene in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty when Little Ling’er first saw Xiao Bai. She had also pulled it away by the ears so this scene was more than familiar.

“If I told you that thing was the culprit behind this Beast Tide, would you believe me?” Still shaken despite having seen Xiao Bai being tamed before, Qin Yichen muttered. He had nothing to hide from Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen.

“The culprit behind the Beast Tide?”

“Could it be the Beast King? It’s the Sky Reaching Behemoth!?”

Ye Liangchen and Zhao Ritian exchanged glances, their pupils growing huge.

Zhao Ritian was speechless for a long while, unable to connect that now-docile little beast with the Beast King Sky Reaching Behemoth recorded in ancient texts…

As for Ye Liangchen, he could not help but face-palm. He should have realized long ago that both Qin Yichen and his Daughter were freaks. Fortunately, with Xiao Bai as a precedent, he was not foolish enough to test that little beast.

As for Zhao Ritian, after his shock passed, he became skeptical. [Is that really the Sky Reaching Behemoth?]

However, he did not know that seeing his doubtful expression, someone was already secretly plotting how to encourage him to test its authenticity.

After Qin Yichen and others entered the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, the onlookers also followed inside – some to buy Pills, others admiring Qin Yichen and wanting to see him again.

What no one knew was that when Little Ling’er pulled the Sky Reaching Behemoth into the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, thousands of kilometres away at the third defensive line, an unexpected situation was occurring.

At this time, on the third defensive line’s walls, led by Yang Quan, the remaining Seven Millennial Families and the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce forces all vigilantly gripped their weapons, not relaxing despite the Sky Reaching Behemoth’s disappearance. Below the walls, countless Demonic Beasts showed no signs of retreating although they also were not attacking.

“Elder Yang, could something have happened to Qin Yichen? It’s been so many days without any news…” The Zhao Family Patriarch could not help asking Yang Quan.

However, all he got was a white-eyed look from Yang Quan.

When the Zhao Family Patriarch first asked him, he had carefully considered before saying he was not sure. But in just a few days, this guy had asked the same question hundreds of times. Even Yang Quan almost could not resist wanting to seal his mouth.

Just as Yang Quan was about to rebuke the Zhao Family Patriarch, his expression suddenly changed as he looked down the wall.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

One Demonic Beast roared after another. They continuously sounded from below. Soon, all of them started roaring together, making the Humans’ ears hurt.

“Be on guard!”

“Prepare for battle!”

On the city walls, countless people trembled, vigilantly watching those Demonic Beasts.

At this moment, they seemed to already see scenes of slaughter and countless experts and Demonic Beasts dying…

“What are they doing? Could something have happened to Qin Yichen?”

The Zhao Family Patriarch’s expression changed. Qin Yichen no longer just had a business relationship with him – he was his Son’s closest friend, something his Son had never had before. In the Zhao Family Patriarch’s heart, Qin Yichen was already like a close Junior.

“Damn these Demonic Beasts!”

The Patriarchs of other Millennium Families also had a change in expression. If Qin Yichen had failed, then another bitter battle was inevitable.

*Kiiii!* With a clear cry, the White Crane Martial Soul appeared again. Yang Quan soared into the sky with surging Yuan Energy flowing around him. He was ready to launch fierce attacks against the Demonic Beasts at any moment.

If Qin Yichen had failed, he would kill as many Demonic Beasts as possible before the Beast King arrived and the defensive line collapsed!

*Roar!*

Below, as the roars continued, groups of Demonic Beasts slowly began to move.

However, surprisingly, these Demonic Beasts did not attack the third defensive line. Instead, they seemed to have lost direction, becoming somewhat confused.

*Roar! Roar!*

Finally, under everyone’s gaze, led by several Peak Spirit Realm Demonic Beasts, countless Demonic Beasts slowly retreated.

“This… this is?”

“The Demonic Beasts are retreating?”

On the city walls, seeing the slowly retreating Demonic Beasts, voices of surprise rang out.

Then, after confirming these Demonic Beasts were truly retreating, cheers erupted along the walls.

“That kid… how did he do it?” Watching the slowly retreating Demonic Beasts, Yang Quan also felt relieved.
