Chapter 66 - A Whip and a Roar
"Hm?"
When Ye Xuan lifted his head and saw Song Jia who was walking towards him with her Toxic Emerald Tree Monitor King, he raised his eyebrows.
He was confused about why did Song Jia came to him instead of doing a training on her own.
"What"s the matter? You have something for me?"
With that in mind, Ye Xuan uttered this question to Song Jia.
"What"s the matter? Can"t I come and find you when I have no real business?"
Song Jia, who had used some effort in dressing herself up, stroked her hair beside her ear and smiled with her head tilted. Some time ago, when Ye Xuan displayed his power in the Spirit Secret Realm and broke the record set by the King of Thousand Cranes back in time, that was the first time she remembered the name, Ye Xuan.
And not long ago on the Ancient G.o.d Planet, the scene of Ye Xuan commanding his Tyrannosaur and ramming through the enemy left a not at all shallow impression in her heart.
In this world, the greater the talent of a young man, the stronger their ability to attract the attention of the elegant young idlers.
Song Jia herself was also a genius.
But compared to ordinary women, she more meticulous in thought. When she saw Ye Xuan showcasing his talent, she was sure on the inside that when Ye Xuan grew up, his future would be limitless.
Hence, the purpose of her visit this time was to talk to Ye Xuan.
It was so that she could leave a good impression of herself on Ye Xuan. In that way, if Ye Xuan could develop smoothly in the days to come, she would have another candidate to select from.
"Uhm…"
Ye Xuan was taken aback.
When he saw Song Jia coming to him just now, he thought something had happened with the Silver Blood Clan.
But seeing the beautiful smile on Song Jia"s face, it does not seem to be the case.
"Alright, I"ll stop teasing you."
When Song Jia identified that Ye Xuan does not really know how to take a joke, she immediately changed the subject, "I sense a rather ma.s.sive change of Spirit Aura at this place previously, so I came this time to have a look at the situation."
"I see."
Ye Xuan revealed the expression of having understood something.
The commotion that he caused when he awakened to his talents back then was indeed a little ma.s.sive.
"Nothing really happened over here. It"s just that my other beast has also advanced to Dark Iron."
"Another beast advanced to Dark Iron? This guy already has two beasts in Apprentice level?"
As Ye Xuan"s voice fell, behind a big tree more than a hundred meters away in front of Ye Xuan, when the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten that quietly sneaked over behind Song Jia heard Ye Xuan"s words, its ears immediately straightened.
"Looks like we"ve really gotten ourselves a ma.s.sive catch!"
"And if nothing goes wrong, we can finish off two of them at the same time, tsk tsk!"
Thinking about that, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten made up its mind and prowled in Ye Xuan"s direction
Its sight was clear.
It knew that there was not even a single beast around Ye Xuan.
Under such circ.u.mstances, even if Ye Xuan sensed something and he wanted to summon his beast, he would still need some time to react.
Hence, the death of this genius of the Cerulean Planet was certain!
"Your other beast has advanced to Dark Iron level as well?"
At the same time, Song Jia"s eyes instantly lit up when she heard Ye Xuan"s words. Out of curiosity, she asked Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, I"ve always been wondering what your second beast is. It is possible for you to show it to me?"
"You"ve already seen it before."
Ye Xuan shook his head, "That little elf you saw back in the Spirit Secret Realm, that"s my other beast."
"That tiny elf is your other beast? How is that possible?"
Song Jia revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Well, nothing is impossible." Ye Xuan said while smiling, "Her name is Lil Wan. She grew up with me. But now, she is no longer an ordinary elf."
"I see."
Song Jia was absorbed in her thought for a moment. Promptly after, she fluttered her lengthy eyelashes, thinking about something to talk about, "I"m really envious of you. When I was little, I wished to have an elf as my pet, but my parents never agreed. They said that it"ll distract me from doing what I should do."
"Hmph ╯^╰"
She was getting this indescribable loathsome vibe from Song Jia who was talking to Ye Xuan at the moment.
She felt different compared to Lin s.h.i.+ru.
Although Lin s.h.i.+ru was also a woman, in Lin s.h.i.+ru"s presence, even she could feel the faint touch of affinity from her.
Hmm?
But just when she was thinking about it, via the powerful perception she gained after she rose in stars that were further empowered by the unique buffs of the Beast Lair, she abruptly sensed an inexpressible gaze from some tens of meters away from Ye Xuan.
"What"s going on?"
Feeling the subtle gaze, Lil Wan immediately became vigilant.
On the dot, she communicated with Ye Xua through Mind Ripples.
"Something is watching me?"
Learning about that from Lil Wan, Ye Xuan was startled. But in appearance, he remained calm and collected. Facing Song Jia, he nodded gently, "I"m lucky to be able to grow up with Lil Wan. She really helped me a lot when I was little."
"Yeah, that"s what I was thinking as well. But both my parents were too stubborn. They always told me that I should be independent and yada yada."
Song Jia said in response to Ye Xuan.
At this moment, she was completely oblivious that Ye Xuan"s attention was no longer on herself.
She thought that after she mentioned elves, she found a common topic with Ye Xuan, and that was why he was extending the conversation.
In her mind, she even had a plot conceived already. She knew that in order to get close to Ye Xuan, tackling Ye Xuan"s elf before actually working on Ye Xuan might be a pretty great idea.
And just as she was thinking about it, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten in the distance had swiftly prowled across a distance of tens of meters.
Arriving behind a tree more than meters in front of Ye Xuan.
"Go to h.e.l.l, kid!"
At this point, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten felt that it was almost time. It arched its hind limbs gently on the ground, abruptly lengthening its body. Promptly after, a streak of purple-black lightning flashed on its body.
Should the attack be successful, it would instantly slash off Song Jia"s head from behind.
Then, it would swipe its claws through the air, striking off Ye Xuan"s head with the same attack.
Swoos.h.!.+
However, as excitement glittered in the eyes of the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten, feeling that it was about to score a ma.s.sive contribution, a figure the size of a thumb suddenly appeared on Ye Xuan"s shoulder.
In the next moment, accompanied by the wave of a hand of this tiny figure, a cyan vine whip flogged at the s.p.a.ce right next to Song Jia"s ear.
Whip!
Amid the loud whipping sound, all the excitement in the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten"s eyes was blotted out by the growing shadow of the whip.
Immediately, as excruciating pain struck, a b.l.o.o.d.y stripe emerged on its body as it was knocked backward.
As it was flying backward, it regained its sense. Realizing that things were not going well, it immediately wanted to turn around and escape.
But before it could stabilize its foothold, it saw a giant and terrifying creature standing at six to seven meters tall abruptly appearing before Ye Xuan.
"Roar!"
As soon as this figure appeared, it opened its enormous mouth, agitated its throat, and unleashed a deafening roar.
In an instant, the terrifying soundwave whizzed past like a hurricane.
Sweeping through Song Jia"s long and fluttering delicately combed hair.
Revealing her plum and ma.s.sive forehead.
Then, the winds took away one of her fake eyelashes, which then swooped right on the extremely terrified Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten who was begging for mercy while hovering in mid-air.
