Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 816: Chapter 353: Water Venerable’s Oppression! Qian Yi’s Sword Intent!

This voice, hovering over the surface of the Heart of Water Lake deep into the night, was so cold and abrupt.

It made Su Ping hold his breath, as if his whole body had been cast with a spell of immobilization, unable to make even the slightest movement, leaving him only capable of fixating his gaze on the figure before him.

At this moment, even Little Flame, unable to maintain its Flame Bird form, transformed into its most basic flame shape. The continuously trembling flame body seemed to clearly express an unprecedented fear in this small being.

However, the owner of the voice before him showed no concern, instead looking with interest at the little paperman floating in the water, commenting with some curiosity:

”Is this a newly emerged pet beast species of a later age? A new necromancy pet beast? Finally, they’re no longer those grotesque skeletal and rotting creatures, they’re quite cute!”

Having said that, it extended its palm, the lake water of the Heart of Water obediently behaving in its hand as though it were the most docile child.

The water transformed into a stream resembling a hand, gently touching Qian Yi’s body.

The latter was somewhat bewildered, momentarily unsure of the situation.

Fortunately, Su Ping’s soul contract still functioned, quickly issuing a command:

”Qian Yi, return at once.”

Only then did the paperman react, quickly flying back to Su Ping’s side, glaring at the strange ’human’ before them.

Clearly, Su Ping’s reaction displeased the figure, whose snow-white eyebrows furrowed slightly, expressing displeasure as it said:

”Why be so stingy? Since that’s the case, never mind. Little one, hand over the Flame Venerable’s phoenix spirit in your possession, and I’ll pardon your insolence.”

The words in the serpentine script made Su Ping immediately understand the intent behind the words.

Similarly, it naturally made Little Flame grasp the meaning behind this entity’s desire.

”Hiss... hiss... hiss...”

A low sound emanated from Little Flame’s body, filled with urgency and distress, and panic that Su Ping had never witnessed before.

This small creature, known for its courage against forced submission as a pet beast, displaying suicidal determination before being tamed, was feeling fear for the first time.

Evidently, this small being instinctively believed that falling into this entity’s hands was worse than death!

Su Ping took a deep breath, blinked, and gazed at the figure as though sensing everything, and finally spoke for the first time:

”You are the Water Venerable, who just recently revived, aren’t you?”

Indeed, he had heard from Ray Saint about the truth behind the Eastern Sea water calamity, the awakening of the Water Venerable.

This legendary being from the Jiuzhou ancient era represents the strongest legend of water element beings and stands as one of the most powerful legendary totems during the chaotic times when the various tribes of Dragon Nation unified through warfare.

Alongside Flame Venerable, it is one of the most formidable representatives in the world.

It was this existence that caused such disarray in Little Flame, in the clash between water and fire.

Yet, Flame Venerable had clearly been the victor in the past, so why was Flame Venerable in such a worse condition upon revival compared to Water Venerable?

The fragmentation of Flame Venerable’s form was a world apart from the direct revival of Water Venerable in terms of power.

However, clearly now was not the time to ponder such questions.

The woman before him remained unconcerned, smiling, nodding slightly:

”Indeed, you seem to be someone of significance in the current human Dragon Nation, no wonder that little human spirit saint has such a good relationship with you.”

Su Ping exhaled slightly and continued:

”Given this, you should know that today’s Dragon Nation is not the same Dragon Nation of the past. Dragon Nation will not permit you to act with impunity in Jiuzhou.”

”Act with impunity?”

The woman’s voice suddenly raised, resembling the hiss of a snake, then quickly returned to a normal tone, no longer using serpentine script:

”I have already met your nation’s leader, or should I call them the King? Or perhaps some other title? In any case, I have indeed paid a trivial price to gain the freedom to roam Jiuzhou and seek the Flame Venerable’s divine fire spirit!”
