The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 163

Chapter 163: Rescue and Bonding

“Leave this place!” A commanding voice suddenly came down from the heavens along with a tremendous pressure. Other than Elder Shi, everyone’s expression changed instantly.

This person was so blunt. He clearly did not know them, so why would he act to save them? Even Elder Shi couldn’t make any sense of it.

Elder Shi face switched between green and white. It was a fact that he saved them but using that as a reason to chase them away was rather conceited. It couldn’t be that he wanted to take all the magic herbs and demon beasts at the Jade Spiritual Cave for himself?

Thinking about it, it was too unlikely. Even a Seven-star Star Level fighter wouldn’t be able to swallow something as large as the Jade Spiritual Cave. What more, since there were quite a lot of mid-level demon beasts inside, with quite a few at Star level and above. Furthermore, even if that person could gobble it all up, there was not enough time.

No matter how hard he thought, it didn’t cross Elder Shi’s mind that this Elder he was calling was Ling Xiao, who should be heading towards the North. But he didn’t think that deeply right now. He was just trying to sort out in his heart who would fit this person’s identity.

Before he could figure it out, something unexpected happened.

From beneath their feet, the earth suddenly shook violently, swaying and shaking as if it were an earthquake. Quite a few disciples were caught unprepared, falling to the ground. A deafening sound came from behind them.

Elder Shi turned around to look and instantly all sense of bravery crumbled away, leaving extreme horror reflecting on his face. He had no time to continue talking with that distant mysterious person. He roared in panic at all his disciples, “Everyone, run!”

Enormous waves suddenly surged to the skies from the originally calm lake. All at once, the level of water rose over ten meters. A gigantic shadow appeared before everyone’s eyes. Along with the splashing sound of the water, a gigantic demon beast rose from the depths.

This was an extremely gigantic demon beast. The body emerging from the waves was over ten meters tall. There was no need to mention that this could be only half of its body. The entire demon beast was dark purple in color with a large pair of fiercely glowing round eyes that swept across everyone before it.

This poisonous sea serpent’s appearance was exactly like that of a dragon, with the dark purple body covered in scales. The surface of the scales were glittering, emitting ice-cold rays of light. Clearly it was adopting a defensive stance. A complete set of conical fangs could be seen in its horrifying open mouth. Four sturdy limbs, each with five sharp claws hung over the edge of the lake and its protruding, large, round eyes were bloodshot and staring fiercely right at them.

This was none other than a level eight beast, the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon!

Based on Elder Shi’s Star level cultivation, battling with a level eight Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon could only result in death. No wonder he was so terrified after seeing the beast the truth was, if no one saved them, there was no doubt that all these people would end up dead.

Right this instant, there was no need for Elder Shi to shout. They themselves knew that they were facing an imminent catastrophe. All thoughts of the Jade Spiritual Cave vanished from their minds as they started fleeing in all directions.

Under the threat of losing their lives, the two Warrior Division disciples were unable to take Fang ChenYue’s safety into consideration. They both cast him aside and fled for their lives.

Luckily, Fang ChenYue was not a naive person who didn’t understand the ways of the world. When he realized something unexpected was happening, he very quickly brought up his guard. Now, seeing a Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon appear suddenly from the bottom of the lake, his face turned pale, but unlike the others, he was not as panicked.

His luck didn’t seem to be too good. The moment that Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon stepped onto dry land, it chased towards the direction he ran.

Elder Shi, who was not far away, also witnessed this scene and a look of uncertainty appeared on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he abruptly turned around and increased his speed as he was fleeing from the spot, no longer caring about Fang ChenYue’s fate.

All things considered, no matter how important Fang ChenYue was, he was still not as important as one’s own life. Who would willingly deliver themselves to the doorstep of certain death? Elder Shi was no fool. As for the Tian Xin Sect’s disciples there at the time, he was not so righteous as to sacrifice these disciples just for a third-generation disciple.

But, since Elder Shi was already like that, the other disciples, who were weaker than him, were even more unlikely to go help Fang ChenYue. They were unable to even fend for themselves. In an instant, not even their shadows could be seen. As for that Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon, for some unknown reason, it persisted in chasing after Fang ChenYue.

Fang ChenYue was only a level four mage with no combat ability when combat ability was needed. Even his physical strength was not as strong as that of practitioners. Very quickly, the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon caught up to him.

A gigantic shadow enveloped him from above. The way forward was blocked by the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon. Its twin perfectly round eyes were fixed on Fang ChenYue, who appeared very tiny in front of him.

Rays of ruthlessness radiated from its ferocious face as if it would eat up Fang ChenYue in the next second.

There was not a drop of blood left in Fang ChenYue’s pale face. Although he knew that it would be hard to escape death this time, his stubborn eyes still reflected his unwillingness. His life had just started. How could he be willing to let it end right here and now?

Of course, he saw how Elder Shi and the others didn’t save him from the face of death. It couldn’t be denied that he felt bitter in his heart, but he felt no hate because in this struggle, if their positions were reversed, he might make the same decision as they did.

However, he was only a normal man, after all. He didn’t want to die, and he felt hopelessness as well as unwillingness in his heart. However, he could only watch with eyes wide open, with his own tragic death nearing in the jaws of the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon. This type of powerlessness was suddenly magnified. Right at that moment, he suddenly understood why ZiLin always wanted to be a practitioner.

If he could do it over, he would also want to be a practitioner who could summon the wind and rain!

Under the roars of the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon, Fang ChenYue finally couldn’t stand it any longer and fell to the ground, sitting. A thread of regret rose in his heart. With death hanging over his head, he finally realized how reluctant he was to leave his Master; reluctant to leave his fellow disciples; especially the one who grew up with him from when they were young, ZiLin. If he found out that Fang ChenYue had died, he would probably feel a deep sorrow and there was also that Xiao Shidi who was always making him worried…

Just as Fang ChenYue closed his eyes and surrendered to his fate, the roars of the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon suddenly died down.

After not hearing any sound of movement for some time, Fang ChenYue couldn’t but open his eyes, only to be shocked speechless by the scene in front of him.

He saw the gigantic Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon cowering on the ground. Its bloodshot eyes had already regained their clarity, replaced instead with a look of terror, as if something a hundred percent more terrifying had appeared. It lowered its gigantic head in fear and trepidation.

Fang ChenYue didn’t know what happened, but he very quickly connected the dots to that mysterious person who helped them out earlier. Even though he wasn’t sure, it could only be him.

Fang ChenYue hastily scrambled up and backed away from the reach of the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon. He cupped his hands respectfully towards the emptiness in front of him and said with emotion, “Many thanks to Elder for lending a helping hand. This favor of saving my life, junior will never forget even after losing all my teeth!”

After some time, a rather unhappy voice suddenly rose from the emptiness, “Why are you just standing there? Use your soul force and try to see if you can bond with it.”

Fang ChenYue was stunned. He felt that he must be hallucinating. That mysterious person wanted to help him bond with the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon? He most definitely must have heard it wrong. Furthermore, this voice seemed to suggest that he was somewhat unwilling?

Of course, Ling Xiao was not doing it willingly. In his eyes, Fang ChenYue was his imaginary love rival. Who would be willing to help someone they didn’t like? He was not a saint, after all!

However, You XiaoMo at his side was not pleased!

Earlier, when he saw Fang ChenYue in danger, his whole face turned white in fright and he would have called out long ago if Ling Xiao wasn’t in time to cover his mouth.

After that, Ling Xiao reluctantly, and unwillingly, rescued Fang ChenYue.

Although You XiaoMo heaved a sigh of relief, when he thought about the actions of Elder Shi and the rest casting Da shixiong aside, he was worried that the same thing would happen in the future. So, he thought that if Da shixiong could bond with this demon beast, although it’s terrifying appearance was a little unsightly, if there was this demon beast guarding him, he probably wouldn’t be in any more danger.

However, when he voiced out his thoughts, he was flatly rejected by Ling Xiao. You XiaoMo had yet to be this concerned over him and now he was showing concern for his Da shixiong in front of him?

Ever since he realized his own feelings, Ling Xiao was very unhappy about how You XiaoMo was always worried about his seniors. And now, wanting him to help Fang ChenYue bond with a demon beast, don’t even think about it!

How could You XiaoMo know what Ling Xiao was thinking? He was only thinking naively that he wanted the people who were good to him to get by well, that was it. So, he simply promised Ling Xiao a few favors like before.

Who could have known that Ling Xiao would harden his heart this time as if he had just eaten measuring weights. No matter how many extra magic pills You XiaoMo promised to give him each day, he refused to budge.

You XiaoMo felt helpless and could only ask, “Then what do you want in exchange for your help?”

Ling Xiao didn’t intend to relent but these words suddenly gave him an idea. The corner of his lips rose up to reveal a suspicious smile. He paused for a bit before leaning in to his ear to say a sentence.

One second later, You XiaoMo was bright red. He simply did not think that Ling Xiao would propose this condition. Clearly, their brains never operated on the same track.

You XiaoMo had the impulse to bite Ling Xiao. This fellow clearly had ulterior motives and must have been waiting for this instant. But… seeing Da shixiong’s still colorless face, he conceded. After all, this was something that would happen sooner or later.

And so, You XiaoMo grit his teeth as he agreed to Ling Xiao’s condition.

Ling Xiao was happy hearing him agree, but when thought about how You XiaoMo only agreed because of Fang ChenYue, he immediately felt unhappy.

That was how Fang ChenYue came to hear that hallucinatory voice.

Ling Xiao didn’t hear him answer so he said impatiently, “Hmph, if you’re not willing, then forget about it.”

Before You XiaoMo could get anxious, Fang ChenYue opened his mouth, “Wait, Elder, wait. Junior is wi… willing!”

Fang ChenYue was so agitated that his whole face was red. This kind of opportunity was not something one could come across every day. This mysterious Elder was willing to extend a helping hand. If he refused, he would probably curse himself to death.

“Then just get with it,” said Ling Xiao.

Fang ChenYue took a few steps forward. This Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon was indeed going to be a level eight demon beast, but right now, it was still only a level seven demon beast, still a while away from level eight. However, compared to a level eight demon beast, it was easier to bond with a level seven demon beast.

What was even more surprising was that the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon didn’t resist. It simply accepted the soul force that Fang ChenYue sent into its glabella.

If the others did not understand what that pressure on them was, as a demon beast that had gained spiritual consciousness, it was very clear on how noble that person’s bloodline was. Among the demon beasts, it belonged to royalty. Just the pressure from the bloodline alone made it unable to raise the slightest bit of resistance.

So, being able to make such a high-level demon beast terrified, it could only be a genuine noble bloodline. Therefore, it could only submit. Otherwise, that person would instantly chop off its head.

The gentle soul force entered without any hindrance and contacted the soul of the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon. Both sides established a bond very quickly and the whole process seemed so smooth that it felt unbelievable.

Although Fang ChenYue had never bonded a demon beast before, he had heard others talk about how hard it was to bond with a high-level demon beast. However, he didn’t feel any resistance at all. Rather than giving himself credit, he knew that the mysterious person must be helping him yet again.

Fang ChenYue did not know how to repay this mysterious person. There were many questions hidden in his heart, but he did not think deeply over them. He only knew that this mysterious person was not going to harm him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved him, and he also wouldn’t have helped him bond the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon.

It was just that before he could think up words of thanks, Ling Xiao’s impatient voice was heard again, “You can go now.”

Hearing the voice of the mysterious person, Fang ChenYue also did not dare delay. He cupped his hands respectfully, “Elder, today’s favor, junior will not forget it this entire life. Junior is the Tian Xin Sect’s Fang ChenYue. In the future, if Elder had any use for me, please send orders.”

With those words, he brought the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon along with him and left.

After making sure that no one was left, Ling Xiao took You XiaoMo out of hiding.

A level eight demon beast. Fang ChenYue’s luck could no longer be described as ordinary. In a place like the Paradise Realm where danger lurked in every corner, Fang ChenYue’s survival had a degree of guarantee.

After this dangerous period was over, Fang ChenYue would probably become even more famous. The Tian Xin Sect will also rise in prominence by promoting him. It must be said that if the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon succeeded in advancing to level eight, it would mean that the Tian Xin Sect would have an additional Spiritual level fighter. Furthermore, this level eight demon beast’s combat ability was much more impressive than ordinary Spiritual level fighters.
