It was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by another person who arrived after that.Fu Chen glanced at the black dragon. "Mother doesn"t like dragons."
"You"re a dragon, not me. Your whole family is of the dragon species. I"m a dog! I"ll transform myself into a dog next time when I can do that. Little Ninth will surely like me!"
"Why don"t you transform into a human?"
The black dragon did not know how to respond to that.
Its facial expression worsened.
"I"ll transform myself into a human when I"m stronger. Who wants to be a dog?
"Little Ninth is fond of beautiful people. Why don"t I transform myself into a man and seduce her?"
"Little Fu Chen..." The black dragon narrowed its eyes. "Is there any spirit beast who will compete with me for Little Ninth"s attention?"
The black dragon was a dragon anyway and it could be considered a spirit beast.
It was fine if the black dragon could not beat that man. But, it wanted to become Little Ninth"s most favorite spirit beast.
"Yes, there is," Fu Chen replied without any hesitation.
The black dragon was infuriated. "Who? Which spirit beast? I"ll kill it!"
"It"s a dog."
"Snow Wolf is considered a dog too, isn"t it? They have the same origins."
"What?" the black dragon was so angry that it jumped in frustration. "Little Ninth owns a dog! She doesn"t like me anymore. No, I must recover sooner so that I"ll kill that dog when I"m back. I must be Ninth"s most favorite spirit beast!"
"She even owns bears, foxes, sables, rabbits, apes, eagles…"
The black dragon"s facial expression worsened after listening to what Fu Chen had said. It only realized something after awhile. "Why are there so many spirit beasts by Little Ninth"s side?"
"Little Fu Chen, come! Come and help me to heal my body!"
The black dragon picked up Fu Chen. It was about to leave the place. Suddenly, it thought of the people who were imprisoned in the cages. It flashed its sharp teeth at them.
"You can do anything to humans. It"s fine if you want to take revenge on them. They should never have come here to ruin the peace in the Forest of Spirit Beast in the first place."
The spirit beasts in the Forest of Spirit Beasts started to move toward the humans after listening to what the black dragon had said.
Those humans who were imprisoned in the cage could not die or live according to their own wishes. They had no choice but to look, helplessly, at the spirit beasts.

Feng Ruqing pa.s.sed through the bushes and she soon saw that Hong Yu was waiting there for her.
She walked toward Feng Ruqing slowly when she saw her.
"Manor Lady, all the others have left. But…" Hong Yu bit her lip and said apologetically, "Zhao Yao has an escaping talisman. He has run away with Ziyan."
Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes. There was something glinting in her eyes.
"It"s fine. We don"t have to deal with Ziyan. Somebody else will deal with her in the future."
Hong Yu did not say anything more and she lowered her eyes.
Zhao Yao came from Talon"s Gate. She recognized him at first sight. She just never thought that he would have a mistress living outside of his family.
That mistress was Ziyan.
Hong Yu took a deep breath. "Manor Lady, Zhao Yan and Zi Yan ran away because of my negligence. I must take care of this. Otherwise, Talon"s Gate might blame us for this."
Hong Yu bowed to Feng Ruqing before turning and rus.h.i.+ng into the Forest of Spirit Beasts.
She must report that incident to the elder.
Zhao Yao was not the only one from Talon"s Gate. There was a former master too.
If they did not take care of that incident, Zhao Yan would be a threat to them.
She could never allow anyone to bully Manor Lady.
"Then, we"ll head back first."
Feng Ruqing shrugged and told the other palace maids from Fengyun Manor.
She was not worried about Hong Yu"s strength. Moreover, Hong Yu was under the protection of Fengyun Manor. Surely, she could tackle small matters.
