Chapter 111 - Stewing In One"s Own Juice (4)
"Why don"t you let my beast try?!" Leng Ruoxue suddenly said when she saw that it was about time.
"O-okay," Huangfu Zhen said happily.
"Dazzle, go and hook up with that "golden python" for Master," Leng Ruoxue ordered indifferently.
"Master!" Dazzle"s face was full of black lines, and his eyes were full of hidden bitterness as he looked at his future unscrupulous master. Boohoo… I"m interested in that fellow. I don"t want to hook up with it. But he had to listen to his master"s orders.
Dazzle mustered up his courage in front of everyone, walked to the cage enclosing the one-horned golden flood dragon, and looked resentfully at the calm flood dragon. "Hey, my future master asked me to hook up with you." It was also similar to Charm"s opening statement earlier, and it was said in the beast language.
.
"I"m not interested in male foxes," the flood dragon replied.
"I"m not interested in a male snake either," Dazzle said angrily. What an ungrateful stinky snake.
"You are the snake. Your whole family are snakes." The one-horned golden flood dragon hated being called a snake the most. Hmph, how am I like a snake? Do snakes have scales as beautiful as mine? What a tasteless idiot.
"I am a fox, and I don"t have a family!" Dazzle roared. He was really angry.
"Charm, what are they talking about?" Leng Ruoxue couldn"t help asking when she saw the two little beasts seemingly arguing.
"They"re bickering!" Charm"s face was full of black lines. These two fellows! He would have beaten them up if not for the fact that he didn"t want to expose his strength. They really made him worry.
"Alright! I accept hooking up with you," the flood dragon suddenly said after he was done arguing with Dazzle.
"Then what are you waiting for? Come with me to see Master quickly," Dazzle said in a commanding tone.
"What should I do with this woman?" the flood dragon asked disdainfully as he looked at the woman who had been blinded by her own cleverness.
"Just turn her into a fool. Don"t kill her," Yao said after some thought. He definitely couldn"t let a woman who dared to plot against his master off easily.
"Okay." The flood dragon increased the pressure on her mental strength until he was sure that Huangfu Yu was definitely a fool.
After losing the pressure, Huangfu Yu"s body collapsed to the ground. The flood dragon broke open his cage like Dazzle had done, and his cold golden eyes glanced indifferently at Master Wu. Then he transformed into a mini-snake as thick as a finger and crawled toward Leng Ruoxue behind Dazzle.
Nearby, Master Wu felt a chill run down his spine from just being glanced at by those cold golden eyes, but…
Leng Ruoxue held the golden snake in her hand and fiddled with him. The snake"s body was cold, his scales were very soft, and his entire body was golden. He looks pretty good. Oh, I can use him as a bracelet.
"Erm… Miss, these two spirit beasts belong to our Beast Trainer a.s.sociation. I hope you can return them to their owners." Master Wu summoned up his courage to say as he looked at the golden python hanging around Leng Ruoxue"s snow-white wrist as a bracelet and the black fox lying in her arms. He could see that Leng Ruoxue was definitely not easy to deal with, so he could choose not to take back that python, but he had to bring that fox back. That level nine holy beast was the treasure of their Beast Trainer a.s.sociation!
"You"re saying that they"re yours? What evidence do you have?" Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. Whatever was in her hands was hers. There was no way they could go back!
"Erm…" Master Wu was speechless. How was he going to prove it? Even if he went back and asked the people of the Beast Trainer a.s.sociation to be his witnesses, she probably wouldn"t admit it.
"Princess Huangfu Yu borrowed these two spirit beasts from our Beast Trainer a.s.sociation," Master Wu continued, unwilling to give up.
"Oh, ask the princess to testify then. The princess said that whoever tamed these two spirit beasts would be their owner. She had the power to make the decision, and everyone here can testify to it," Leng Ruoxue said indifferently with an expression that screamed "don"t try to lie to me".
"…"
Is this stinky girl planning to keep these spirit beasts of our a.s.sociation? Ask the princess to testify? The princess has already fainted. Even if she wakes up now, she"s probably a fool. What"s there to testify! Master Wu was so angry!
"Miss, it won"t do you any good to offend our Beast Trainer a.s.sociation," Master Wu warned.
"Master Wu, are you threatening me? This young lady only recognizes beasts and not humans. These two beasts are mine now, and no one can s.n.a.t.c.h them away!" Leng Ruoxue used the word "s.n.a.t.c.h" to imply that they shouldn"t bully others with their power.
"That"s right. The condition was agreed upon before the compet.i.tion. But you want them back now that our young lady won the compet.i.tion. What kind of person is this! How can people from the Beast Trainer a.s.sociation bully others like this!" Feng Da echoed cleverly.
"You… you…"
"Master Wu, right? Since the princess is the one who borrowed them from you, why don"t you ask the princess for them? Why are you pestering my young lady? You"re too old!" Lin Yuan also wanted to stir up trouble, and he even implied that Master Wu was up to no good.
"Your Majesty." Master Wu was so angry that he couldn"t speak, and he turned to look at Huangfu Zhen.
"Erm… Master Wu! Yu"er is currently unconscious. Let"s talk about it when she wakes up!" Huangfu Zhen said perfunctorily. He couldn"t clean up this mess.
Seeing the emperor"s att.i.tude, Master Wu was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn"t forcefully s.n.a.t.c.h them, and even if he tried, he wouldn"t be able to s.n.a.t.c.h them!
"This incident has dampened everyone"s spirits, so let"s end the banquet here!" Huangfu Zhen said.
"Xue"er, let"s go back!" Leng Qingtian said. Today"s show was almost over.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue and the others stood up and walked out of the hall. But just as they reached the imperial garden, a maidservant stopped them.
"Miss Leng, Her Majesty the Empress invites you," the maidservant said respectfully.
"I"m sorry. I"m not familiar with your empress," Leng Ruoxue declined lightly.
Just as Leng Ruoxue and the others were about to leave, a handsome youth appeared in front of them.
"Miss Leng, I am Huangfu Lian. Imperial Mother asked me to invite you over." The empress had told the crown prince not to put on airs in front of Leng Ruoxue.
