Jun Mo Xie jolted in shock. He licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, only feeling that the insides of his mouth were completely dry. He uttered with great difficulty. “Wh-what?” He was cursing away in anguish mentally. Whatever I fear really comes ah!… Oh my G.o.d, what should I do about this? Isn’t this going to cost me my life?
But in the eyes of Miao Xiao Miao, his actions and expressions looked like an ideal portrayal of extreme excitement. Look at him, becoming unable to speak because of the joy from my response… How eloquent he was when going against Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu earlier…
Raising her head, she rolled her eyes bashfully at him. Miao Xiao Miao quickly turned away, unconsciously drawing circles with the tip of her toe on the ground as she mumbled, “Fool, you are really a fool…”
What she didn’t know was that the moment she said this, Young Master Jun had the urge to concede defeat!
The impossible task that the Zhan Family failed to do after gathering countless manpower and wealth and efforts, Miss Miao almost did with a single line!
Young Master Jun seemed to have really turned into a fool right now…
His eyes were completely wide open simply because it was too shocking ah…
Could this be the legendary saying: the hardest to digest is the favor of beauties.
I’ve sinned ah…
Right now, Young Master Jun really had the urge to cry, but no tears were coming out…
I swear, I am really not here to expand my harem. My initial goal is to get some Seven Colored Holy Fruit. Although now I’m a bit greedier and want a Rainbow Holy Tree, but that is all! I really do not have any other intentions. Am I really going to turn ‘poor’ because of ‘greed’, suffering the fruits of my retribution now…
Did Young Master Jun count as trying to act decent when he picked up a bonus?!
Just as Miao Xiao Miao fixed her pa.s.sionate and antic.i.p.ating gaze on Jun Mo Xie, the point where Jun Mo Xie was practically at a loss as to what to do…
His savior finally arrived…
“Mo Jun Ye, Great Prodigy Mo, the Xuan Beasts for Beast fighting as been delivered! How much longer are you planning to drag things out?” Zhan Qing Feng’s sentence gave Jun Mo Xie the ma.s.sive urge to hug him tightly and smother him with kisses… The Heavens do pity, there is finally someone who can help me out of this situation…
Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu watched this pair, their eyes full of envy! Especially Zhan Qing Feng—the anger in his heart was about to explode from his chest!
Miao Xiao Miao was the person he had his eyes on back then! No one else may know how Miao Xiao Miao looked like under her veil; he was the only exception. Of course, First Young Master Zhan didn’t know how Miao Xiao Miao looked now, but Zhan Qing Feng could clearly remember: eight years ago, Miao Xiao Miao, who was only eleven years of age, was already a dazzling and mesmerizing beauty!
Miao Xiao Miao back then was already breathtaking! Although she was still young and tender, but Zhan Qing Feng absolutely believed that there was no other girl in the whole of the Misty Illusory Manor who could be more beautiful than Miao Xiao Miao!
Even the news of Miao Xiao Miao as the number one beauty of Misty Illusory Manor was spread by Zhan Qing Feng back then…
Right now, Miao Xiao Miao was already a grown woman. Just from that crystal clear pair of eyes alone, she was devastatingly beautiful!
The reason why Miao Xiao Miao was listed as the third person who must not be offended in the Misty Illusory Manor was not entirely because of her background of the Miao Family. The real reason was that… the moment someone offended her, it was no big deal for kind Miss Miao herself, but all her pursuers were capable of making life worse than death for those who offend her. Even the person’s family would be completely devoured by them…
How common could the Princess of Misty Illusory Manor be?
This sort of incomparable beauty! How could she offer herself to someone else before my eyes?!
No way! Absolutely no way!
Although Zhan Qing Feng already had plenty of wives and concubines and even had children, this did not hinder his ambitions towards Miao Xiao Miao and his subtle pursuit. It could even be said that before today, all his attempts had been rather successful…
Besides, the Miao Family may be significant in the Misty Illusory Manor, but they were already showing signs of weakening. If the Zhan Family wished to replace them, with the current situation, it was not entirely impossible. When that time came, wouldn’t Miao Xiao Miao have to allow him to do whatever he pleased?
Zhan Qing Feng’s jealously burnt in his heart. The moment he heard the carriage outside arrive, he instantly interrupted the conversation between Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao. Although this was rude, right now, he could no longer care.
He already viewed Miao Xiao Miao as his property. If anyone attempted to lay hands on her, it made them an enemy that potentially would make him a cuckold. His younger brother Zhan Yu Shu was one, and Mo Jun Ye was another! There was only one way to deal with such enemies! Eradicate them! At least, all possible developments with Miao Xiao Miao were to be completely cut off!
“Oh? To think that it arrived so soon! First Young Master Zhan’s underlings are sure efficient ah.” Jun Mo Xie turned around with extreme cooperation. His face instantly became more relaxed.
Right now, a voice came from the door of the hall. “First Young Master, the people from the beast battling arena have arrived. Do we allow them to come in right now?”
“Everyone has gotten sick from waiting; hurry up and get them in here!” Zhan Qing Feng yelled, frowning. The suppressed anger in his heart had pushed this First Young Master Zhan, who didn’t ever falter, on the verge of exploding. How could he still be bothered about maintaining his elegance?
With a series of noisy clamor, a few carriages entered Drifting Fragrance Lodge. One fat middle aged man bowed respectfully before Zhan Qing Feng with a smile. “Young Master Zhan, hehe, as I do not know which Xuan Beast you require, I brought five or six of each type of level three or four Xuan Beasts. I hope it’ll please you…”
“En, well done. But I do not require that many. Leaving all the level four Cat-bodied Tigers will do.” A glint appeared across Zhan Qing Feng’s eyes as he instructed.
“Cat-bodied Tiger?” Jun Mo Xie frowned. He had spent quite some time in Tian Fa, but he had never heard of the type of Xuan Beast called ‘Cat-bodied Tiger’. Could it be a unique breed that belonged only to the Misty Illusory Manor?
“Brother Mo came into the Misty Illusory Manor from the outside world, perhaps you do not know about the Cat-bodied Tiger. Let me explain it to Brother Mo, so you have a rough idea of this type of Xuan Beast.”
Zhan Qing Feng continued with a smile. “The Cat-bodied Tiger is an extremely adorable looking animal. It is a unique Xuan Beast in the Misty Illusory Manor. Its body size is comparable to that of an ordinary cat’s, but it’s combined with the blood-thirsty, savage, and territorial characteristics of a tiger. Although it can only attain level four, it is highly compet.i.tive compared to average Xuan Beasts. Like a level four Green-fur Tiger trapped by its circ.u.mstances…”
“I see, thank you Young Master Zhan for your guidance.” Jun Mo Xie nodded his head. I don’t care what Cat-bodied Tiger or dog-bodied tiger you are, any Xuan Beast is the same in the hands of this Young Master.
With Zhan Qing Feng’s command, a few burly men from the beast battling arena came in carrying a small cage. They placed it right in the center. There were six small cages that were brought in, a cat-like creature with a gorgeous coat of fur in each one of them.
The moment they were placed together, these little animals who were lazing within their metal cages instantly sensed the existence of their kind and all their hair began to stand! They stood up and arched their backs, an unusually cruel glint shooting from their eyes, and they bared their sharp teeth and howled to show their might. They were crouching on their hind legs, as if they were ready to pounce at any moment to attack anyone that dared to enter their territory!
Each of these Cat-bodied Tigers were probably ten plus jin in weight. But on their foreheads, there was a distinct and clear circle patch of fur with the word ‘King’ written on it! Although it had a tiny built, its air of a King was imposing!
“As expected of the most ferocious level four Xuan Beast. Truly lives up to its name.” Jun Mo Xie was genuinely surprised.
“For the sake of fairness, Brother Mo, please go first to take your pick.” Zhan Qing Feng offered generously. The fighting strength of these Cat-bodied Tiger were more or less the same. It made no difference who made the first pick. But the crux of the matter was that no matter which one Zhan Qing Feng selected, after he infuses his special Xuan Beast chant techniques into it, the strength of the one he had selected would multiply by two folds!
The Cat-bodied Tiger that was infused with unique Xuan Qi would be brought up from a level four to a level five! The difference in one level was a wide gap that was impossible to overcome!
This was the reason why Zhan Qing Feng and the entire Zhan Family never lost in Beast Fighting in the Misty Illusory Manor!
“Since Brother Zhan has so kindly offered, then I shall accept.” Jun Mo Xie smiled and slowly walked over.
The six Cat-bodied Tigers began to growl upon sensing someone approaching. As if they were warning the person not to come any closer; if they attempt to, they’d have to pay the price for it with their blood.
In fact, the Cat-bodied Tigers were extremely compet.i.tive. An existence with Xuan Qi as pathetic as “Great Prodigy Mo”, these creatures couldn’t even be bothered about it. Zhan Qing Feng pretended to be generous to allow Mo Jun Ye to take his pick first only because he wanted to see a joke. If Mo Jun Ye was accidentally bitten or scratched by a Cat-bodied Tiger, it’d be such a joy!
It’s a pity that Jun Mo Xie did not feel frightened by the threats from these Cat-bodied Tiger. He simply selected the one that was closest to himself.
He took a glance at it. “I’ll take this one. I think this one is pretty cute. Beast Fighting can’t be too far from c.o.c.k or dog fighting. Since their strength is about the same, then it’s up to our own luck. I still choose to believe in my own gut feelings; my side fortune is extremely prosperous right now!”
