Chapter 110 - Stewing In One"s Own Juice (3)
"Don"t be shy! My beloved master is easy to get along with," Darling said understandingly.
"I"m not shy," the exposed ink fox roared in anger. How could I be shy? I"ve been an adult for hundreds of years.
Leng Ruoxue caressed the black fur of the fox to calm him down. Alas! What an awkward little fox.
"I"ll name you Dazzle!" Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
"Thank you, Master," the ink fox said, even though he hadn"t officially acknowledged her as his master yet.
"You can acknowledge me as your master after we leave this place!"
"Okay." Dazzle nodded.. Perhaps I really won"t regret this decision.
"Master, that golden flood dragon…" Dazzle opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.
"What about it?" Leng Ruoxue looked at Dazzle in confusion. Although flood dragons had the bloodlines of dragons, they were cold-blooded like snakes, and she had never liked snakes.
As the human and beast chatted, abnormalities began to appear in the center of the hall that had been silent all along. Amid everyone"s exclamations, Leng Ruoxue raised her head to look at Huangfu Yu.
At this moment, Huangfu Yu had an extremely painful expression on her face, and her forehead was covered in sweat as her countenance became paler and paler. This was obviously a sign of backlash. Huangfu Yu"s life would be over unless someone could tame this flood dragon. But even if someone were to tame the golden flood dragon now, although Huangfu Yu"s life could be saved, she would still become a fool.
As for the golden flood dragon in the cage, it was still very calm, as if this had nothing to do with it. This flood dragon is quite interesting, Leng Ruoxue thought while looking at the situation in front of her.
"When do you intend to make a move?" Ye Chen asked in a low voice. Xue"er won"t just watch Huangfu Yu lose her life, right?
"There"s no rush. Let"s enjoy the show first." Of course she would help, but not now!
"Guards! Guards! Go to the Beast Trainer a.s.sociation to look for Master Sui!" Disregarding her manners, n.o.ble Consort Xu hurriedly stood up and yelled when she realized that something was amiss.
"Reporting to n.o.ble Consort, we have already sent people to invite Master Sui. But he doesn"t seem to be in Lunar Capital recently," a eunuch said cautiously.
"What? Hurry up and look for him. You must find him," n.o.ble Consort Xu said anxiously.
"My dear consort, please calm down. I have sent someone to invite him over," Huangfu Zhen comforted.
"Your Majesty, you must think of a way to save our precious daughter!" n.o.ble Consort Xu said with tears in her eyes. No man could bear to refuse such an appearance.
"Sister, His Majesty will definitely think of a way. Don"t worry too much." The empress tried to console her, but her gaze turned to Leng Ruoxue. Alas, if anything really happens to Huangfu Yu, n.o.ble Consort Xu will definitely blame her.
"You… It must be you! What did you do? You must have harmed my Yu"er!" Suddenly, n.o.ble Consort Xu pointed at Leng Ruoxue as if she had gone mad. The hatred in her eyes made it seem as though she wanted to skin Leng Ruoxue alive.
"Am I the one who wanted to compete? Or am I the one who provided this spirit beast?" Leng Ruoxue looked at n.o.ble Consort Xu mockingly.
"Then you must have done something?" n.o.ble Consort Xu insisted.
"What a joke. Everyone can vouch that this young lady didn"t even stand up. How could I have tampered with it? Why don"t you show me how to tamper with it?" Is this woman crazy? Leng Ruoxue was really speechless. She originally wanted Huangfu Yu to suffer less, but now… Hmph, I"ve changed my mind.
"Your Majesty, quickly get someone to arrest Leng Ruoxue. She must have harmed Yu"er," n.o.ble Consort Xue"er requested Huangfu Zhen.
"Ah, my beloved consort! I know you"re worried about Yu"er, but you have to calm down. There are so many people watching. Miss Leng really didn"t have the chance to do anything," Huangfu Zhen comforted impatiently. If he really arrested Leng Ruoxue, Leng Qingtian would definitely fight him.
"Your Majesty!"
"Beloved Consort, why don"t you go back to your palace to rest first?" Huangfu Zhen signaled the eunuch beside him with his eyes, and the eunuch half supported and half carried n.o.ble Consort Xu away.
"Miss Leng, I"m so sorry! I hope you can understand a mother"s love for her daughter," the emperor said with an apologetic face.
"I understand," Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Of course not!
Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to the golden flood dragon in the cage. This flood dragon is quite interesting. It"s actually playing with Huangfu Yu. Otherwise, she would have probably died a long time ago with that little amount of mental strength she has. Hehe, I will accept this flood dragon just because of its devious nature.
"Your Majesty, Master Wu is here." A guard walked in and reported.
"Quick, please," Huangfu Zhen hurriedly said with an anxious expression on his face.
A middle-aged man in his fifties walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty." The middle-aged man bowed slightly.
"Master Wu, there"s no need to be so polite. Please save Yu"er," Huangfu Zhen quickly said. Master Wu was the vice president of the Beast Trainer a.s.sociation, so he should have a way.
"Your Majesty, don"t panic. Let me take a look." Master Wu approached and observed carefully.
"Your Majesty, there"s nothing I can do," Master Wu said after looking at it for a while. He was not a fool. There could only be one possibility if even a Master Beast Trainer could not tame this spirit beast—they were all mistaken. He would definitely not take the risk since he couldn"t determine the level of the golden python. It wouldn"t be worth losing his life for someone unrelated to him.
"What should we do? Master Wu, is Master Sui back?" the empress asked worriedly.
"Senior Brother went to the Illusionary Forest and won"t be back anytime soon." Master Wu"s words completely dashed their hopes.
"Elder w.a.n.g, do you think we can invite the genius beast trainer from your academy to try?" Huangfu Zhen probed.
"Your Majesty, how can others tame something that even Master Wu isn"t confident about?" Elder w.a.n.g declined implicitly. Isn"t it enough for your daughter to become a fool? Do you want to turn the genius of our academy into one as well?
"Erm…" Huangfu Zhen couldn"t force Elder w.a.n.g after hearing what he said.
