âDonât worry. Iâll think of a way,â Leng Ruoxue said comfortingly. How could she bear to disappoint Charm and Darling!
âWhat does this mean?â Leng Ruoxue looked at Huangfu Yu and pretended to be puzzled.
âWe each tame one. Whoever can successfully tame it in the shortest time wins,â Huangfu Yu explained. She had spent a lot of effort to borrow these two spirit beasts from the Beast Trainer Association.
âHow should we split these two spirit beasts?â Leng Ruoxue asked. The levels of these two spirit beasts were different. The fox was a level nine holy beast. As for the one-horned golden pythonâ¦
Leng Ruoxue carefully examined the golden python in the cage.?No, this isnât a one-horned golden python.?There was a single horn growing in the middle of its golden head. But the horn of a one-horned golden python was pure white, and this horn was a white jade color.?This should be⦠a one-horned golden flood dragon that is said to be extinct.?One-horned golden flood dragons were the spirit beasts closest to the bloodlines of dragons. Moreover, one-horned golden flood dragons had another special skill, which was to conceal their levels.?In that case, this one-horned golden flood dragonâ¦
âOf course we will be drawing lots. This fox is a holy beast, and that one-horned golden python is a level nine spirit beast. We will tame whichever beast we draw,â Huangfu Yu said in a seemingly very fair manner.
âMaster, this dragon isnât a level nine spirit beast!â Charm reminded Leng Ruoxue with a cunning smile.
âVery fair. Letâs see whoâs lucky.â Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement.
âYouâre the guest. Iâll let you draw first.â
âBig Brother Feng, could I trouble you to draw the lot for me?â She was too lazy to move.
âNo problem. Big Brother Feng will definitely draw that level nine spirit beast for you,â Feng Moran promised. He walked directly to the box and drew a small piece of paper.
âInk fox.â Feng Moran opened the paper and read the words on it in public.?Alas! As expected, this Huangfu Yu really doesnât have good intentions!
âLeng Ruoxue, looks like your luck isnât good enough!â Huangfu Yu said complacently.
âYes, itâs not good enough. Congratulations, Princess,â Leng Ruoxue said somewhat flusteredly.
âThen letâs begin the competition now. But the loser has to be punished,â Huangfu Yu said with a scheming face.
âWhat punishment?â
âThe loser has to be the winnerâs servant. No matter what the winner wants you to do, you have to obey unconditionally,â Huangfu Yu said.
âThatâs not a problem. But what I want to know is, if the beast taming is successful, who will the spirit beasts belong to?â Leng Ruoxue asked lightly. She didnât want to waste her efforts for others.
âThey will belong to whoever successfully tames them.â Huangfu Yu was sure that Leng Ruoxue couldnât tame a spirit beast, or else she wouldnât dare to say so.
âPrincess, can you decide this? If you canât, then cancel the competition,â Leng Ruoxue provoked.
âOf course I can decide!â Huangfu Yu roared angrily.
âItâs good that you are in charge. I donât want any disputes in the future. I absolutely hate trouble,â Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
âEveryone, please bear witness for Ruoxue. Princess Huangfu Yu said that the spirit beasts will belong to whoever tames them,â she then said to everyone in the hall.
âLeng Ruoxue! What do you mean? You donât believe what this princess says!â Huangfu Yu hollered in disbelief.
âI really donât believe it unless you write it in black and white,â Leng Ruoxue said very honestly. Good children should be honest.
âOkay, this princess will write it for you.â Huangfu Yu was a little unsettled.?Why is Leng Ruoxue so troublesome?!
âSomeone, bring me a brush and paper!â
After finishing writing, Huangfu Yu handed the note to a maidservant. The maidservant walked to Leng Ruoxue and handed the note to her, but Leng Ruoxue didnât take it.
âLeng Ruoxue! What do you want now?â
âNothing. I just want the princessâs mother to be a witness for us,â Leng Ruoxue said innocently.?Anyone who dared to plot against me has to be prepared to suffer the consequences. Hmph! Iâm not a kind little rabbit.
âIn that case, Iâll be your witness,â Noble Consort Xu said confidently.?This Leng Ruoxue is obviously stalling for time. I canât allow it.
After hearing this, the maidservant hurriedly handed the note to Noble Consort Xu. She then passed it to Leng Ruoxue after the Noble Consort Xu signed her name on it.
Leng Ruoxue took the note and read it carefully. Only after confirming that there were no mistakes did she put the note away.
âThere shouldnât be a problem now, right?â Huangfu Yu asked while suppressing her anger.
âNo problem.â
âThen can we start now?â Huangfu Yu asked through gritted teeth. She really wanted to swallow Leng Ruoxue alive now.
âOf course!â Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly.
âThen letâs begin!â Huangfu Yu walked directly to the cage of the one-horned golden python and began to tame it.
âLeng Ruoxue! Why arenât you starting?â Noble Consort Xu couldnât help asking.?What does she want? Has she given up on her own accord??At this moment, Noble Consort Xu had countless questions in her mind.
âPrincessâs mother, be quiet. You will regret it if the princess turns into a fool because of your disturbance,â Leng Ruoxue reminded lightly.
âYouâ¦â Noble Consort Xuâs face turned green with anger when she heard what Leng Ruoxue said. But she really didnât dare to say another word.
âLass, why arenât you taming the beast yet?â Elder Qiu asked curiously. He knew that this girl knew how to tame beasts back at Thousand Cry Mountain. Moreover, the beast she tamed was only a level five holy beast, while this one was level nine.?Could this lass not be confident??Elder Qiu couldnât help letting his imagination run wild.
âGood things must wait. Whatâs the rush?!â Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly, as if the beast taming competition had nothing to do with her.
âOld Man Qiu, donât be like a eunuch! As the saying goes, the emperor is not worried, but his eunuchs are!â Leng Qingtian provoked.
âAre you calling me a eunuch? You old thing, youâre asking for a beating!â Elder Qiu roared, fuming with rage.
